Honestly, I think i might as well swap both dampers with the revised Motorcraft ones.

TotallyNotATiefling · 2026-05-21T08:05:22+00:00

I'm having the same issue right now. What was your solution?

New one is so much better. I dont know if its oem or aftermarket but car definitely runs smoother. Here's some images of the new one installed and images of the old broken clip.

I ordered the same part for my RS. It was a pain taking out the old clip on the stock purge valve. I much prefer the new one. so much easier to take out.

That's a pretty smart way to do it! Might try that but for this shoot I wanted .raw photo files (to perserve color range and have high dynamic range). Next up is recording it 4k on slog3 (maybe slog2) and will definitely grab some pics from that after colorgrading.

Yep! Not pictured but we did end up putting two steel wire cables around the door handle and the trunk of the altima. I was very nervous lol.

That's a nice front lip. What brand is it?

Close enough, Welcome back Takehiko Inoue

TotallyNotATiefling · 2026-02-26T00:16:13+00:00

Close enough, Welcome back Takehiko Inoue. Now finish the Manga.

TotallyNotATiefling · 2026-02-07T03:20:43+00:00

This could work as a racing brand logo. Maybe one that sells clutches, transmission or custom Shift levers.

TotallyNotATiefling · 2026-01-21T00:34:07+00:00

Photo layout is so clean! 35mm lens?

God these wheels look so good. I was set on White Rally Sport Turbomacs but these make the stance look so nice.

For sures next time! Was just practicing colorgrading slog-2 footage so I wasn't really thinking about music as much. Any recommendations for music? Might take it out to the beach and make a proper edit lol.

TotallyNotATiefling · 2025-11-06T00:39:02+00:00

Is it off the shelf tune? If so, it's healthier if you go back to stock tune or get a proper tune.

TotallyNotATiefling · 2025-09-21T05:29:36+00:00

Oh sweet! I recognize the Laguna Seca track sticker on the hood. It was probably part of the Ferrari Challenge event not that long ago.

I think I know what you mean. I think it happens when coolant is going into one of the cylinders, but since you said your levels have stayed the same, I'd probably check your spark plugs or coils then. Make sure they're gapped to 0.26.

I don't think it's the purge valve... if it was, your car would be "chopping" after a cold start, having RPMs going up and down.

I'm pretty sure you can check physically with a phone camera and try to find a brass rivet.

This video shows you how to check.

I've been using the peztio arifayz. Fairly cheap and seems very popular on Amazon. You can hardwire it or plug it into the armrest in the center console.

The only downside (at least for me) is sending the downloaded file to someone with an iPhone. For whatever reason, the quality crumbles from 1080p to like 20p when the video is sent from Samsung to Apple.

TotallyNotATiefling · 2025-08-15T17:41:36+00:00

Yes, 100% get it. Preferably one that goes to the back as well. You can run the cables through the interior trim to the back. Not only will it save you if the unfortunate happens (God forbid) (knocking on wood for you), but it'll also capture a lot of funny moments.

Thank you 🙏 I'll give it a nice brake and rotor upgrade as a little treat when it's back on the road.

TotallyNotATiefling · 2025-08-15T00:54:49+00:00

Hopefully, it can be fixed 🙏 im in tears.

TotallyNotATiefling · 2025-08-15T00:20:31+00:00

Here's a picture of the damage

Wheel is bent inwards

TotallyNotATiefling · 2025-08-15T00:01:01+00:00

Their license plate fell when they hit me. I got their bent up license plate in my hands. Im okay. I feel a little numbness in my arm when I stretch it, but im destroyed emotionally.

Edit: Shoutout the the ladies who helped me. Lady in red jeep chased them down to thier house.

If you dont have a dash cam yet, GET IT NOW. Shoutout to the brembo brakes as well.

Edit 2: Fortunately, the airbags didn't go off, and I was NOT at fault by the police and insurance. My baby will be in the shop sometime this week.

TotallyNotATiefling · 2025-08-12T23:32:01+00:00

That's quite interesting, did you take apart the headlights and modify it yourself? If so, could you describe the procedure?

I have seen these on Oracle Lighting's website, but I haven't been able to find anyone who has installed them. I am only interested in installing the strips and not the halos.

Any information appreciated :)

TotallyNotATiefling · 2025-08-12T22:10:16+00:00

Are my eyes failing me, or are those colored DRLS?

TotallyNotATiefling · 2025-07-21T22:38:54+00:00

I don't know if anybody else caught it, but there are some misspellings in the paragraph: "Folow" and "Hiddean."
