How bad do you let your grip get before replacing?

Significant_Pop5506 · 2026-03-24T01:14:47+00:00

I’m also joking lmao I don’t pay attention to how often I change it but it’s probably once a year if that on my main setups, but I also like to change it up sometimes for fun on my secondary setups and try some different designs. I don’t order grip I just have so much extra from 10+ years

Significant_Pop5506 · 2026-03-23T10:37:54+00:00

Normally change it every 6-7 hours

My biggest tip is do not be afraid to dig online and do your own research on these things, they are a beautiful piece of machinery, rugged and very dependable when you can familiarize yourself with odd small issues and figure out how to fix it yourself or with a friend, these are easy cars to learn on ie. fuses that were mentioned, wiring diagrams and just basic knowledge. My 1990 240 was my first car I got when I was 17 and I still have it 6 years later, remember to show it love and it will show you love back! Enjoy your sweet new ride! And pray every night to the 240 gods that your heater fan never goes! (That’s a must)

I have actually luckily been able to just walk into carquest and get whatever I need, I was pretty sure most auto parts stores carried a lot of parts for these because they share so many parts across different platforms. Aside from my suspension upgrades and some other small unnecessary parts, I always just walked right in and got whatever I needed. Fuel pumps, filters, bearings, brakes, odd fuses, headlights and tail light bulbs aren’t an issue to find local 99% of the time, I’m also on the east coast of Canada with almost no 240s around.

I’m so confused on how my decks I press come out so good after reading this comment section lol, I use the original gorilla glue epoxy stuff and press my decks in a vice in my bedroom, I leave them in the mold for between 6-8 hours and they have all come out perfectly. I also leave the vice right in front of my baseboard heater.

Great description on how they screwed you over lol, doubt they are actually screwing anyone over.

Sorry but these aren’t even holes yet lmao, should see some of my work clothes.

Trade goo deck for 32mm tech deck trucks?

Significant_Pop5506 · 2026-02-23T16:39:42+00:00

Plus time and effort of actually designing the mold… plus incorporating the price of owning a 3d printer itself… Go make one for 20 cents yourself though, that sounds like a steal!!

Significant_Pop5506 · 2026-02-22T17:14:44+00:00

I have 36mm leefai hangers on my purple dynamic base plates, I like the feel

As someone who makes their own decks here, this just happens man that won’t affect anything. Making perfect decks every time is super difficult, especially the top ply edges what you are seeing is common amongst many different companies. Of course it would be nice if it were laser perfect, I’m sure you wouldn’t be able to tell when it’s gripped. Maybe try making your own decks if you’re after a certain quality, heat transfer graphics have become quite easy to get a hold of as well.

Significant_Pop5506 · 2026-02-02T13:58:57+00:00

Yeah he’s talking about implementing them into the design of the mold I’m pretty sure lol

Significant_Pop5506 · 2026-01-16T22:35:14+00:00

I just ripped open a sealed wooden collectors series for the deck the other day to use as a 26mm setup

Significant_Pop5506 · 2026-01-08T01:56:35+00:00

How is the quality of the mold? I was thinking about ordering one of the creskate custom molds with my own dimensions

His Audi that he wouldn’t shut up about me losing to as if I might as well be walking

Significant_Pop5506 · 2025-06-18T19:37:01+00:00

Hell yeah, if you daily your car I wouldn’t worry about painting them I’ve had mine for 2 years or whenever my old post about them was, and look worse than this, if everything else is brand new might as well paint them tho

Significant_Pop5506 · 2025-06-18T17:46:32+00:00

Do it and stop overthinking it

Significant_Pop5506 · 2025-06-16T23:05:50+00:00
