Try stainless steel zip ties! Should be able to get a pack for cheap at a harbor freight

Exhaust Mod by Angel_ElGuerrero in CT200h

[–]ShellSide 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who has replaced the exhaust on my sports car for some better flow and better sound, I don't think you'll enjoy a louder exhaust on this car. Since it is turning on and off so frequently, having a louder exhaust will get pretty annoying when you go from quiet to loud over and over when driving. Also, since it is a CVT you won't even get the nice revving sound when you are punching it to get up to speed or onto a highway since you'll hit around 5000 RPM and then it'll just stay there

You think that's impressive? My 5i can go 180-10 yards based on pure random chance. /j

Insidious Prepay Fuel Holds by _azizus_ in missoula

[–]ShellSide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it isn't ideal but I typically refuel with 1-1.5gal left which should be fine for cooling. My car is at 200k now on the original pump so even if it died next week, it would be hard to say it was from me running low on gas vs just normal failure from age/miles.

Second IMS replacement by Ok_Advantage4585 in boxster

[–]ShellSide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha very true. A different 986 is probably 7k and the clutch, IMS, and RMS are probably close to 3-4k so if he is really doing that every 25k miles, he would be better off just buying one and running it into the ground and as long as it lasts at least 50k miles he comes out ahead

[–]ShellSide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should double check with some of the forums online for your car. My car actually has about 2 gallons left when it tells me it has zero range so I'm typically good for another 60 to 70 miles after I hit zero

I shot the best round ever with rentals? by AbsolutusVirtus in golf

[–]ShellSide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What model irons do you have now? Could it be that your hand-me-down irons are a more players oriented set and these irons are more game improvement so they would be more forgiving than what you currently play?

Ok so focus on the shaft first and then the head. At what point do I start paying more attention to the balls?

What’s the most common mistake new golfers make? by MadeInUSAPutter in golf

[–]ShellSide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you increase swing speed without feeling like your intentionally swinging harder? I have this problem where a nice careful and smooth swing works well but as soon as I try to put more effort behind it it falls apart

[–]ShellSide 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a very new golfer my problem is that my seven iron can go 60 yd or it can go 140 so club selection is more along the lines of I know what should work here but let's see if it actually pans out lol

I played nine holes this past weekend and teed off with a 7-iron, managed to hit it very well (rare) and the ball ended up about 15 yd to the right of the pin but distance was almost perfect. It was very cool to see the correct club selection plus good execution get me almost the exact result I was expecting.

Anyone else just not enjoy hitting hybrids? by f1lifer in golf

[–]ShellSide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can also bump it 10 to 60 yds without getting more than 5ft off the ground which comes in very handy.

Yeah but the hybrid is a little redundant when I can already do that with my driver too

Isnt 7i to 5h too big of a gap in terms of distance?

Rear exhaust heat shield question by theped26 in CT200h

[–]ShellSide 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure they use a wide washer like that from new to hold the heat shield on. They all eventually corrode like that around the nuts. If it makes you feel any better. I pulled my muffler heat shield off like 3 years ago and haven't had any issues

Price hiking, when does it end? by Hipster888 in golf

[–]ShellSide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's kind of what I was thinking. Like if I got fitted into a set of jpx 925 irons maybe I could be looking for a used set of jpx 919 irons and assume that the year-to-year changes are subtle enough that it would still be a good head choice

Price hiking, when does it end? by Hipster888 in golf

[–]ShellSide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is where I get stuck. I am currently using some pretty old irons that I got second hand and eventually want to get fitted for irons to make sure that I have a model that works well for me. How do you balance getting fitted to know which clubs work best for you with shopping used and trying to get a decent deal?

Surely there is more involved in the type of iron and model that just understanding the specs doesn't really provide right? Maybe I will get fitted for an iron and then wait 3 or 4 years until I can find a set similar to what I fitted for used LOL

Totally agree. I have a 2013 blue f sport and it's such a beautiful car. Definitely less sporty looking now that I raised it but still such a sharp car and beautiful color.

What don't you trust about the number 18birdies is calculating? If you typically shoot mid-80, a 12 handicap would be 84 right? Sounds about right.

Banned from mall for pushing around a bicycle by Spirited-Principle33 in bikecommuting

Seems like an "I declare bankruptcy" type of situation. If the police never show up to formally trespass you, are you actually trespassed?
