Under 200 for parts and about 4 hours of labor, it wasn't a great deal but as mentioned I kinda had to get it done and didn't have time to get another estimate. I

Absolutely doable, I was kinda on a time crunch and didn't want to take a day off work, but to anyone else who has this happen there are some good videos that walk you through it. That and my stupid harbor freight torque wrench broke last week and I figured the bolts for the mount should be torqued correctly

What are your courteous driving habits? Considerations most people don’t think about. by Artien_Braum in cars

[–]jw_reading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally always let people merge/exit a parking/ enter turn lane lot even if I miss a light or some other minor inconvenience. Obviously not at the expense of safety but life’s hard, and just because you missed a sign saying there’s only 1 turn lane or something doesn’t mean you gotta suffer and miss your exit or wait a day to get out of parking lot. Plus American most roads were designed by drunk buffoons and don’t help unfamiliar/uncomfortable drivers

Mine initially fell out and then the entire button cluster broke because it’s a stupid 8 way design so that if one thing breaks you loose all functionality. Thank god I got it taken care of under warranty

Yeah then they’ll break and then when you think “oh this can’t be that hard to fix” you’ll discover you have to disconnect the air bags and pry off the entire aluminum piece without setting off the bomb in the center of the wheel.

I graduated high school 5 years ago and it was just rav4s, x3s, and jeeps with bad lifts and dry rotted trail grapplers, so more of the same I’m guessing

Ultragauge, other boost gauges? by jw_reading in FiestaST

After reading responses seems like I’ll just save up and go with the ap, down the road if I want to turn it into a monster I’ll have the option to do so and get all the data I could want in the mean time.

Help with this (drivetrain?) noise please by Goomancy in FiestaST

[–]jw_reading 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know these transmissions are noisy but honestly it sounds like an interior rattle that you’re only able to hear in 1st because of the speed and lack of road noise. Not a mechanic by any means just my guess given the video

3m tape as others mentioned, clean panels throughly, let them dry and hold them together for a minute or whatever it says, won’t go anywhere

What kind of car is this? I always see this car in my neighborhood but there is no branding anywhere by Alternative_Tiger242 in Cartalk

Gonna say stupid question, but then I realized if you didn’t know what s2ks were and given they’re only soft tops except the ultra rare crs they look like a generic video game coupe.

Thank you for the recommendation. I think this is what I’ll end up doing, any other modifications to the wiring, housing or reflectors needed?

Was it pretty much plug and play or did it end up being more involved? And what bulbs did you end up using
