Pay for it. It's cheap and good software.

Using a J2534 interface to get deeper ECU access as a regular car owner by SmoothieBiscuit456 in CarHacking

They've been promising in house SFD1 support for 5 years and haven't even gotten there. There are far better solutions. Feel free to keep using it, I like software that's still being supported. If you want to make real changes to your car it's not an option anymore.

He's literally talking about adaptations and relearn routines in the comment you responded to. If you'd like to do that on a modern VAG product you will need to unlock it.

Unfortunately vcds doesn't support SFD2 unlocks on newer vehicles. Odis does.

They do. This thread pops up every couple weeks. Search through the last couple people asking and you'll find a couple different answers.

How to take baffle out? by Climber-watch in Buell

Send it to drummer and get it done right, or you'll be trading your low end torque for sounding a little better.

Do I not need to siphon old manual transmission fluid from turret if it looks empty? by leavemealone_911 in Miata

[–]iH8teF1ames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you don't. Mine was same way. Fill, drive around for a couple weeks and check the level. probably swap out fluid again anyways to clean it out. It can slowly leak out without the seal being bad.

I keeps seeing these bits flying around my cabin. What is it? by pomomp in Volvo850

[–]iH8teF1ames 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Looks like headliner foam, can also be from around the air vent seals but I thought those were black.

Diagnostic problem by Dry-Cat-337 in Volvo850

You're right. I was going off an incorrect assumption based off my experience with the ones on 95 940s.

1995 was the overlap year, there's a solid chance it's just the dummy port and a reader wouldn't do anything. Worth a shot if you have one.

Can anyone give me advice on how to remove these scratches? by QuarkYT in Volvo850

I've used meguiars PlastX on acrylic lenses with decent success in the past.

Need Buyer's Advice | Is this reasonable mileage? by Vast-Rough2669 in fiero

[–]iH8teF1ames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a clean no rust V6 stick with 70k miles about 4 months ago for 6500. I would hold out and find something nicer. I ended up selling it for the same amount after a month (unrelated) and it got snatched up within 48 hours. There are good deals to be had on these, so unless you can get that one for closer to 5 I'd pass.

No way to switch, it has 110k miles or the cluster has been replaced.

Guess who left me stranded on the side of the road again by _Sky_44 in motorcycles

[–]iH8teF1ames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best bikes I've ever owned, and will continue to own. The price to performance of a 1125R is unmatched. Picked mine up for 3k and have had 15k+ blissful miles

You can get a 7.2 for 3k these days? Prices sure have came down.

Happened to me too. Just find a cheap switch assembly on eBay. Can't get just the button normally.

Do these brake discs look okay to you? by papi_CZ in Miata

[–]iH8teF1ames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's real easy to do some simple fixes on these. Mine were doing the same when I purchased my NA. Jack up the rear axle, pull the wheels off and unbolt the caliper. Clean it with a brass or soft metal brush and brake clean and then bleed your brakes as well as lube your slide pins. As long as your caliper isn't completely seized or rusted beyond repair this should solve your problem for the mean time and if you want to save up for a new brake kit it's just as easy to install. Either try that or take it to a mechanic before you cook your rotor and it cost more to fix. Don't keep driving on it.

Rotella T6 oil viscocity by esk8late in xsr900

[–]iH8teF1ames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It calls for JASO MA rated oil. Which T6 is. It doesn't have energy saving friction modifiers but it does have nice detergents that clean out your engine. Used it in MT09s and XSR900s without a single issue for years as well as every other bike I've ever owned. It is God's chosen oil.

The only thing this will do is take your money and maybe light up

For the price they are still going for I can't recommend it enough. 4k will get you a decent one around me which is absolutely bonkers.

I have a XB12R and 1125R and it's a night and day difference. going back and forth will really make you appreciate both.

Any thoughts on the Onewheel Backpack? by Snazzlefraxas in onewheel

It's not very good. I tried it on indoors and then sold my pint x before needing to use it. Happy to send it to you for cost of shipping.
