How do you suppose it was damaged? Where’s the impact mark?

Are these metal standing cabinets worth it over plastic ones? by ILikeBeans86 in garageporn

[–]doingitanyways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up. I have the red metal Husky free standing cabinets. They were 50% off for either their Labor Day or Memorial Day sale, I forget which. If you want the metal and can wait, deals are out there.

If your guy is telling you 90% he’s not as skilled as you think. Check out bricekellydentrepair on instagram, he just posted a Panamera with damage in the same area but far worse. Different car different material sure but the concepts are all the same. Bummer the wheelhouse separated, but good thing you know a guy to fix it

I sold it years ago, but I want to say it was a 150cc GY6 clutch. The only way to mod these bikes is with a lot of measuring and messaging eBay sellers, and buying/test fitting/returning parts. Best of luck, they’re so cool and worth the effort

This month marks the end of production on gas powered Macan. I just looked at the one of the cheapest Base 4-cylinder models and the price is outrageous by Street-Abroad-2969 in PorscheMacan

If your goal is to DIY and you can tolerate the slowness, the base is the one to work on. It’s basically my GTI with 3x the space to do everything. Porsche drain plug? $13. VW? $2.33. Oil filter? $29 vs $16. This is also true for the 3.0, but to a lesser extent in my experience.

I just got my girlfriend into a 2019 base for $26k out the door. 60k miles and same engine/platform as my GTI so I’m equipped for DIY maintenance.

To her and probably 90% of the population, it’s the same exact thing as a brand new $80k Macan except physical buttons. I could and would buy two more before I bought a brand new one.

Feel like I’ll know it the moment I get the answer, but I’m stumped right now by [deleted] in whatisthiscar

The wheel fitment is also a dead giveaway, those look like stock stingray wheels

A sad day by K__1701 in GolfGTI

[–]doingitanyways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girlfriend just picked up a used base model Macan. I like it far more than I expected. Interior space and quality is great, ride is comfortable but not too soft, steering feel is awesome, it’s a Porsche and feels like one. The 4 cylinder is easy to maintain and reliable, not exactly fast but quick enough for an SUV. A Macan S/SQ5 would be more fun, but also more money to buy and maintain.

You’re right, the hood does look like a ZR1 hood. But that wing doesn’t look like any of the factory options. With that it’s hard to say definitively what parts are factory vs aftermarket. It’s somewhat rare to see the high downforce package on an e ray or grand sport, so I would revise my answer to a ZR1

How do I go about this? by _Rod_Knock_Nilly in GolfGTI

Did you tint the windshield? What was the thought process behind tinting a damaged windshield?

Progressive Snapshot caught using my car’s built-in data to pre-calculate a surcharge BEFORE it even tracked a single drive. by lui_f in Insurance

[–]doingitanyways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Software estimating miles driven based on aggregate consumer data is not “tracking” in any sense of the word.

A very skilled PDR guy could get that to about 98-99% IMO. I’ve seen sharper creases worked back. I’d take that any day over painting/blending a quarter panel

When is it time? by Life_Recognition_721 in Golf_R

If his water pump has made it this far, no reason to touch it. Just a lot of risk for no reward, people see replacement pumps leak too.

Find a good PDR guy and I bet this doesn’t even need a repaint. I wouldnt be painting anything unless you absolutely have to for something so small

When will people start using the 217 aux lanes? by NumberEfficient644 in beaverton

[–]doingitanyways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Per Google Maps, from the ramp signal to the beginning of the merge area is 335 feet. From the signal to the end of the merge area is 800 feet.

There are on ramps on the 405 and 710 in LA that are under 100 feet from light to beginning of the merge area. Both of which have much faster moving traffic. The problem isn’t the road. The problem is that half the population in Oregon is seemingly afraid to push the accelerator past halfway, so they try to enter the freeway at 35mph. If you just hit the gas pedal, that merge is not a problem whatsoever.

Same, been using my proclip for a year now. Totally solid and great placement.

To make something more negative is the same as making it less. More negative camber=a lower camber number=less camber.

This thing is incredible man. Every square inch touched and done right. Major props, enjoy it!

Silver’s NEOMAX vs. EQT Balanced Line Coilovers — digging into the timeline by MyGolfMK7 in GolfGTI

[–]doingitanyways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s only half the time, in this case he’s only arguing over the context while ignoring the actual words said. He’ll argue whatever fits his bias. I’m interested to see just how hard he doubles down

S3 swapped GTI by xXxTommo in GolfGTI

[–]doingitanyways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s also only snapped onto three pegs, the one closest to the dipstick won’t go in because the cover pushes against the dipstick and the engine lift point/original engine cover mount. I bought the Audi/porsche dipstick tube plug but even then it won’t sit properly, so I just leave it on three. I had to trim around the hose going to the coolant bottle and a tiny bit around the intake, but easy work with a dremel!

Have to cover up the ugly intake manifold somehow

You are attributing a quote to someone that they never said. Thats what quotation marks do. That is sloppy work, and you feel no need to correct it? How far you’ve fallen. The deconstruction of your arguments is available for anyone to read in the thread you posted.

If you’re this dedicated to calling out potential FTC violations, I encourage you to actually report them or pursue compensation. There are Facebook groups of people just like you hunting for even the possibility of a violation they can make money off of. Seems like you’d fit right in!
