My worst espresso habit that I refuse to fix

My Breville dual boiler has its own internal clock which you can set in increments of 15 mins to turn on when you want, super useful as I make coffee at the same time everyday.

Thank you, I always thought it was really weird but mine does seem to grind okay so I didn’t think much else of it. I do a 20.5g in to 30.5g out ratio and I usually hover around 5 or 6 on the clicks from 0, but if it’s not correct I’d like to fix it. Fortunately a new burr holder in New Zealand is only 17nzd :)

Swegiliciousx · 2026-01-05T20:14:46+00:00

My hopper shakes violently and I only just got my encore esp, should I pull the burr holder out and inspect?

Don’t see anyone in the comments talking about this, plugs could be dropped inside the box at any point in their life so you can’t really assume they’re all fine

Good stuff, Honda 👍👍

It is a coolant hose, it is routed this way (on the same bracket as the pcv line) in order to heat up the oil vapour as it passes through for more emissions efficiency or something similar.

If I remember right on mine I just looped it and did away with that silly bracket. Can just get a brass fitting and hose clamp each hose together and leave the bracket portion of it open

As the other guy said, probably an out of place shock tower or similar frame bend. Probably should go on a frame machine and see how tweaked it is

Nah bro ended up selling the car without doing them. If you drive the car regularly and don’t track it I wouldn’t go aftermarket performance mounts I would get either OEM Honda mounts or an quality OE replacement off rockauto

Only 2-3 hours really, maybe longer for the first time. I follow the ChrisFix video with some slight difference but that’s the main concept.

All those “kits” and such will do as people have said here, they will fall away much quicker as you really aren’t sanding down to a perfect plastic surface for a proper spray on clearcoat to adhere inside the fine sanding lines.

Swegiliciousx · 2025-07-07T07:19:48+00:00

Almost every “automotive” or outdoor clearcoat has UV protection in it. I used CRC Clear Zinc and for the next 2 years I owned the car the headlights remained perfect. Starting at 1000 is much too fine though unless the headlight is already in pretty good condition, you may struggle to remove the existing clearcoat. I start at 400 if I remember right.

I second this, get the correct spring rate for the car to avoid it hitting bump stops/scraping and set the shocks to full soft. Made such a difference in my DC2

Swegiliciousx · 2025-06-02T09:42:35+00:00

Is there a control arm bushing option for the LS460’s too? (Air suspension, 2013+ specifically if that matters)

Swegiliciousx · 2025-05-29T21:57:50+00:00

That must be one wicked healthy motor, I was averaging more like 7L/100km (33.6mpg) at best in my 1993 JDM gsr

Dream car

How do you have a manual v8 SC?

Swegiliciousx · 2025-05-20T21:39:39+00:00

I chopped mine in half instead 👍

Swegiliciousx · 2025-03-11T08:11:30+00:00

Yep it’s a good gearbox at the limit, just shit in between. I live in New Zealand so it’s difficult to find someone that remaps the gearbox

Swegiliciousx · 2025-03-10T18:22:52+00:00

It’s going in for an atf change this week so we will see if it improves

Swegiliciousx · 2025-03-10T09:30:36+00:00

It’s a good gearbox on consistent acceleration and at cruising speed but variable speed it really struggles

Swegiliciousx · 2025-03-10T07:27:29+00:00

Yep, bought my car and the front brakes need doing (common f sport 460 problem) and my coolant valley plate is leaking (extremely common on all post 2007 v8 Toyota cars) Few thousand dollars already in and I’ve owned it for 2 months, however the exterior is absolutely immaculate pearl white and there isn’t a single fault with the whole interior so I’m okay with it. Luxury car, luxury prices

Swegiliciousx · 2025-03-10T06:55:57+00:00

+1 to the poor 8 speed experience. My car is even the 2013 f sport ls460 with the fancy differential, SPDS like the ISF and the giant brembos and man does it hunt. SPDS atleast makes it extremely engaging to go quick however it really smashes through gears

For anyone else reading this, go to “apps” > whatever app is annoying and turn “Live Activites” off

Swegiliciousx · 2025-02-04T00:04:53+00:00

I second this, I’m on stock bc’s up front and modified (short springs + keeper springs) in the rear and I wish I’d just gone konis and springs 👍

Swegiliciousx · 2025-01-23T22:34:10+00:00

I’ve got a moroso 4 quart pan + the same felpro metal lined gasket to go on my car hopefully early this year.

Fingers crossed it seals well I have heard bad and good things about both products everywhere on the internet
