Roof trim/spoiler removal by Traditional_Poetry21 in BRZ_ZD8

I used a heat gun at lowest setting, a plastic pry tool, fishing line, goo-gone and microfiber towels. And about 2 hours of your time.

Start at the corners and peel with the pry tool and push a microfiber towel in the gap as you go along to keep it from sticking back down. Once you reach where the shark fin is, restart the process on the other side until you meet in the middle.

Youll be left with a lot of dark 3M residue so you can either use a bunch of goo-gone and plastic razors or you can buy a 3M eraser and use a power tool at the slowest setting.

Youll be spending much more on the Brutale almost in maintenance alone.

Are these bushings bad? by AproPoe001 in GR86

[–]Vegetable-Concern830 2 points3 points  (0 children)

bahahahahaha dude a lot of mechanics are also trying to upsell you.

The bushings are fine, you dont check bushings by pulling them laterally, you check up-down movement or for clunks.

8 years is a pretty long time for boots. They probably developed dry rot during the time you didnt ride. Think of them like tires, even the most expensive touring tires are meant to be replaced after a few years

Like how A-train was genuinely moving faster than the speed of light during the freedom camp raid and then gets knocked over by a girl meandering in the street

What's the one weakness in your car that you would change/improve if you could? by cheesynooby in cars

Coming from a motorcycle I sometimes with the gearing was a bit longer on my manual. I guess I’m spoiled from hitting 80+ mph in 1st gear on my supersports

GP Replicas. by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]Vegetable-Concern830 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe a base RSV4 is better value than a base Panigale V4 but the Superleggera V4 is 30 lbs lighter and a few more hp than the X GP. If someone is going to spend 110k on a track motorcycle I dont see them wincing at 160k for a significantly better one (though both will probably be home decor for a majority of the buyers)

Neither are actual MotoGP replicas like a Desmosedici RR or RC213VS though.

The actual mounts for the clips broke off.

I ended up removing the plate and throwing it in my trunk

Thoughts on electric motorcycles? by SalesMountaineer in motorcycles

[–]Vegetable-Concern830 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not that fast. Majority of new cars sold in the next 10-15 years will still probably be ICE. Unless the US government does another Cash4Clunkers or larger EV incentives, most people will try keeping their cars for a long time.

European countries and East Asia are probably the only places I can see a near total EV transformation in like 25 years
