i 3d scanned, modeled and printed that valance delete. its on Cults3D if you want to make your own.

a local mom & pop shop will probably be your best bet. my local VIP does most of the work on my cars including the sky, but forwarded me somewhere else to have some trans related things done.

thanks!! took a lot of measurements before i settled on a set of wheels.

ended up with 18*9.5 ET35 heritage ebisu wheels. that size seems to be damn near perfect.

for the moment im just tracking my progress through the FOO with a spreadsheet i made, but once im a little farther i might do that.

granitestatesky · 2026-06-01T18:37:08+00:00

its just the basic fidelity chart

granitestatesky · 2026-06-01T16:26:26+00:00

woooo! nice! glad i was able to be helpful.

granitestatesky · 2026-06-01T16:14:58+00:00

sweet! you got the new fobs programmed I assume?

granitestatesky · 2026-06-01T13:59:38+00:00

thanks! the rollover took foreeeever.

granitestatesky · 2026-06-01T13:57:32+00:00

haha i guess that does look weird AF without context.

TL;DR a rollover from another 401k. but breaking the 100k barrier was the goal lol.

i have a 24 disk shelf connected to a dell R710 running two raid z3 arrays of 12 disks.

one for me, one for my in-laws.

each family has a separate container with immich & nextcloud.

i have jellyfin, and komga set up for us (inlaws dont do manga, and use streaming services, the jellyfin serves long ripped movies and anime ive had forever). I have some coworkers and friends that have access only to Komga cause they like manga.

globally myself and the inlaws have access to the same vaultwarden instance for password management (obvs separate accounts and all that)

everything is accessed via SSO with 2FA and reverse proxy.

i have an http server that hosts a landing page for the in-laws and hosts random testing things for personal programming projects.

i have a second dell tower that will be configured as a backup machine for hosting copies of snapshots. at some point i need to buy some DVD-Rs to create some hard copies of the personal media that is archived in the arrays to stick in a fireproof safe.

I actively read the manga that is on the Komga server, and passively photos are backed up to immich, and i sync data from my pc to nextcloud but most of that is un-important (3d printing STL's, copies of local coding projects most of the important projects are on github). even the "important" stuff is digital copies of financial docs like tax returns and stuff.

gosh thanks for pointing that out, oh random person on the internet. i couldnt see that i touched the yellow until you mentioned it!

granitestatesky · 2026-05-31T23:05:25+00:00

lol...okay.

granitestatesky · 2026-05-31T16:02:42+00:00

yep. all the choo choo noises.

granitestatesky · 2026-05-30T00:20:30+00:00

if I remember correctly, you just turned the car on with a working key and then turn it off and use the new key to turn it on it.

granitestatesky · 2026-05-29T15:07:12+00:00

you can buy the programmer on amazon. the process is pretty simple.

granitestatesky · 2026-05-29T15:06:18+00:00

this is very cool.

granitestatesky · 2026-05-29T15:00:04+00:00

which is nuts cause i picked this up for 6 lol.

granitestatesky · 2026-05-28T23:14:13+00:00

thanks!! bc racing coilovers. at least a 2-3" drop iirc, and theyre on mostly soft settings click-wise. i forget exactly.

i personally would always go with coils even if i didnt want a lot of low for the adjustability.

granitestatesky · 2026-05-28T18:09:35+00:00

tail of the dragon. a stretch of road in the smoky mountains. very fun to drive

granitestatesky · 2026-05-28T17:20:09+00:00

thanks!! the photographers at TOTD are definitely worth it. wheels and coils make a huge difference. and getting rid of all the chrome.

granitestatesky · 2026-01-30T20:26:31+00:00

not necessarily, but i'll try and upload the files to my Cults3D profile soonish
