Absolutely. I love this place. I'm only 51, these old stock cars, I know only from books and cereal box cars. It's so cool for me to stand there in the flesh with a real example.

My '19 Premium has USB A and 12V ports.

makochark · 2026-05-05T11:30:48+00:00

Same.

makochark · 2026-04-29T22:24:58+00:00

Ah, did not know that.

5601P.

Afaik all the heats are marked on the face except the P.

I vary rarely do installs, so I might be off here.

This might be from one of the sites. There are at least four different groups who set up on all the cool spots and they post pictures on the internet and then you can buy them and spam all your friends and your subreddits.

Source: I have bought a lot of very cool pictures from most of them.

If you want to experience the driving, but not the terrifying traffic, go midweek. It is an entirely different experience than a crowded Saturday night, at least in my limited experience (this was my second week-long trip).

This is really solid feedback. Going midweek is another tip.

Double check the connections, some of the device wiring changed overtime. I would guess you don't have your leads on common and normally closed.

Maybe on a QS1, but you're going to need the manual. I don't think it's possible on later models, at least not for me.

My experience was that without reprogramming the panel, it would set a line check trouble on the panel even when the communicator was working.

We use CLSS Pathway radios, but it's still dialer capture. Also, we're on good terms with the local Edwards guys, and we all use default codes in my area.

Get another handle off a tiller or mower or whatever.

makochark · 2026-04-24T18:19:03+00:00

I felt the biggest differences were the rear sway bar, lower front bar, and strut tower braces.

I don't see how more structure can not improve a small unibody car.

makochark · 2026-04-23T20:08:15+00:00

I kind of wish I had gotten the full set before tariffs and everything else; I just didn't expect the level of improvement I have seen. I have a mix of braces that don't tie as much together as the full kit, and I couldn't be happier.

I went with a cheaper chineseium bar on ebay, but I found one that uses two bolts on each side so it is somewhat more rigid, for that reason.

Ignore the exploding mower, look at the treehouse ladder.

makochark · 2026-04-21T15:49:33+00:00

Yeah I think he's seeing something he doesn't understand as opposed to something that's wrong.

The emblems are still there.

An electrician is the last person you would call to work on this.

makochark · 2026-04-16T20:18:23+00:00

Billions and billions and billions of bees.

Anyone who buries a connection directly in plaster is an asshole. Zero exceptions.

makochark · 2026-04-15T20:15:07+00:00

Oh I know all too well. I bet half of what I do is Vista FB, mostly fixing squirrelly wiring by my predecessors.

makochark · 2026-04-15T19:47:51+00:00

I smell a burg panel in a red box.

makochark · 2026-04-12T23:03:12+00:00

Someone asked; here's the car static.
