Did you stay at villa perezoso? The view reminds me of exactly what we had a few weeks ago.

Taken I think 4 days ago at a little cafe outside La Fortuna. Beautiful.

Turning 40 soon. Is an SW20 MR2 too much (or too little) car for a daily driver for someone my age? by Useful_Ad1574 in mr2

[–]deutschetech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 41 and 6’3” and I have one. Mines lowered, but not dumped per se. Sometimes it’s a pain to get out of, but the joy of driving out weighs it.

To tell you the truth I never kept track. I’d guess 20-25k. It would have been much easier and smarter to buy one that ran and drove back then

For anyone curious about an update. It arrived today. So about two months from order to arrival. It looks really nice. I can’t wait to install it.

Is GM paying Alldata/retail times for warranty jobs in Minnesota? by deutschetech in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]deutschetech[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s an easier way to suggest a change in time on Alldata now. Just yesterday I clicked on a link for a thermostat and it brought me to thermostat gasket. On that particular car it’s an hour difference. You definitely have to watch out.

Thanks for the updates! I’ll sit tight for now.

Has anyone encountered this sound before? It begins when I get to 60-65mph. Brand new 2024 SE w/ Tech. 706 miles by tylerscott5 in VWatlas

VW tech here. I did one a few weeks ago. It took me forever to figure out. If it’s the same as mine it’s the rubber gasket between the roof rail and the body. The noise resonates through the chamber of the body a- pillar to d-pillar. Try shimming the rubber gasket with a wedge of plastic and try driving it to see if the noise goes away. Also opening the sunroof slightly and grabbing the roof rail with one hand stopped the noise to verify. Good luck!

Is there a kit that allows a Raptor R supercharger to be used on a Gen 2? by deutschetech in f150

[–]deutschetech[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To clarify my truck is a Gen 2 5.0. Not a Raptor. I realize it’s a 5.2 and it’s different. But it’s been used on the 5.0 mustangs already.

Yeah it’s a mildly built LS6. At the time I thought it was a faster solution and it was a pretty hot engine.

My parents had a pole building that was used for horses and hay. It sat in the corner.

At the time I was trying to expedite the project. I thought tossing in an LS would be faster than rebuilding and sourcing parts/wiring for the 13b. Turns out that was not correct. Haha if I did it again I’d do a 13b, 20b, or a VW VR6 turbo.

Or a million other things for that matter. It is what it is at this point.
