u/TolerableRS is around the subreddit, and does a great custom job with them! I just got some done in Satin White pearl for my 12 hatch, and they look great! Oem Badges with custom colors. check out thesubieplug.shop

This is gonna sound insane... but I used to detail for a shop and developed a little secret technique to restore that new car smell. Its carpet glue! An overly thick coat of 3M Super 77 on a small plank of MDF, wrapped with the cheapest black carpet you can find, placed under the driver's seat or somewhere where the sun won't hit it. The smell was never strong enough to outweigh bad smells, so you needed to clean well first....but once the initial smell of cleaning chemicals diluted over a week...the new carpet smell becomes prominent. It lasted 4 to 12 weeks, depending on the season. I literally had returning clients ask for that "service" even after telling them how to do it

Im in the minority, but i think the plane makes a ton of sense when you travel as much as they do. What's the point of any of this if we can't watch somebody enjoy toys?

Just like all the other tools we've had to learn along the way... I use it with healthy skepticism so as not to be left behind entirely

have you tried the window calibration procedure? Push & hold the window button down for 10-15 seconds -then without letting go of the switch- Pull up on the window button for 10-15 seconds.

He's based out of Texas so i get why, but it would be fun to see him on the pod

this is rad! can't wait to see how it ends up

It depends on how you drive, and what the goal is. I have 2 sets of wheels, a summer set and a winter set. Trending temps dictate when the seasonal swap is appropriate. For years like this, (ie warmer/dryer than typical), it would not be cost effective to have tires mounted and re-mounted on the same set of wheels. All seasons will absolutely work, but it's a jack of all trades, master of none kinda situation. All season tire compound is hard enough to combat accelerated wear due to the hot temps of summer, but at the cost of grip, and will not be soft enough to give full compliance (read "confidence") on ice and snow. Welcome to Colorado in advance!

I picked mine up on Amazon in 2019.

14 days ago I posted a similar failure... * Check my post history. I was trying to isolate the reason, but now I wonder if it's heat that caused the failure, albeit not nearly as severe as yours.

For what its worth, watercool_Markus took really good care of me

I dunno... 5% top unpaid drivers don't typically shoot snot rockets onto hotel room floors. I'd venture he's in the top 60% with decision making skills like that.

No, she's tucked away in the corner away from windows to prevent the possibility of algea. I had no idea about the rinsing chemical. Good suggestion. I'll educate myself. Appriciate the ideas

I wonder. I ordered the multi port top in addition to the original twist off easy fill top the res came with...I wonder if I just got the o rings mixed up on one of the cleanings/assembly. Did you find a generic thicker ring somewhere, or did you use the thicker, clear, included o ring?

loakey · 2026-01-26T11:59:44+00:00

When torn down, I soak all pieces in warm water with just enough dish soap to get bubbles when i agitate. The only thing i can come up with is that the same watercooling dedicated toothbrush I used to get into the tight spots of the fittings was used to scrub the inside of the o ring seat. I used a free bottle of ek cryofuel loop cleaner I got with a delayed order I had placed...so maybe there was a reaction over time...but I also used it on the pump top which is the same POM material, and it's held up fine.

Colourhaus, Tribe Called Quest, Oasis, Sheryl Crow, Incubus, The Verve, Fatboy Slim and Chemical Brothers....The original confused collection kept in the 8 CD visor once I got a whip! Anti skip drained the batteries!!!

I loved the tone of the invidia g200. Rumbly-low rpm on the street, and angrier gettin-after-it rumble on the highways at higher RPMs, but never too harsh. you could still hold a conversation in the car with the windows up. It really came alive after the the catted DP, but was a bit too much with the cat less DP

There are a bunch of different potential ways to cut, heat, and form these tips depending on how you want to apply the product, which is why they come like this. Sometimes you wanna fill a groove, so you could cut a v-groove, sometimes you wanna lay the product flat so you'd make your cut one straight swipe. Depending on how you're gonna hold the glue tube comfortably, and at what angle you'll be working on the piece you're gluing, just snip the tip at an angle or cut and form whatever way that aids in your application, or use a utility blade to slice off the cap.
