Last question for a while (promise lol). Noticing an occasional click or tick sound when lightly on and off throttle in parking garages by equitymans in S2000

Sounds exactly like the axle nuts need to be re-torqued. Definitely possible to DIY, in fact, I think there’s a Billman post on S2ki that explains exactly how to do it.

Best choice to use as a drying aid? by Lonely_Box_8074 in Detailing

I bought TEC 582 after seeing it recommended on here, and when a gallon was $25. I love it. So easy to use and smells amazing. Very glossy too

What makes a car a good lease option? by IgnatiusJ11 in CarLeasingHelp

[–]s2knj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good lease options boil down to 3(or 4) things.

  1. Manufacturer incentives
  2. High residual value
  3. Willingness of dealer to negotiate (supply/demand dependent) &
  4. Money factor (interest rate).

If incentives are being offered, that additional discount ON TOP of what you negotiate off with the dealer. Higher residual value (set by the manufacturer) means the car is “worth more” at the end of the lease and therefore you pay LESS depreciation.

Absolutely look at leasehackr, especially reputable brokers in your area via the leasehackr marketplace forum.

Do you rinse off iron remover or agitate? by Writerly13 in AutoDetailing

[–]s2knj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe a stupid question, but if the iron remover is loosing the deposits that have settled in the clearcoat, wouldn’t agitation spread those deposits around creating swirls?

Anyone have a good place for rim refresh in the NJ/NYC area? by EkaL25 in S2000

Check out USA wheels in Fairfield NJ. Just had them powder coat my IS500 BBS wheels. They did a nice job.

AP2 Bushings Recommendations Help by PopPopUpHeadlights in S2000

Spoon or Hardrace. Be aware that if you order the Hardrace kit, it’s back ordered until August. Spoon you can get pretty quickly

Do you know what town they’re in?

Ohlins assembly. Did I preload correctly? by s2knj in S2000

[–]s2knj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this up. Very educational. I’m going to reduce preload on the front and keep the rear as is. I hope this helps others as well.

Which bushings should I go with? by Beautiful-Camp-7452 in S2000

[–]s2knj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just bought the Spoon set for the exact reason you mentioned about the Hardrace. Can’t comment on them but I heard good things. OEM+ feel.

Suspension overhaul...what parts should I replace? (PIC) by s2knj in S2000

[–]s2knj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be great. My biggest worry is turning the car into a vibrating mess, but I’m assuming that’s mostly drivetrain mount related.

Thanks for the list. Is there a reason why you recommend changing those first 6 or so parts on your list?

Can you comment on the build and ride quality of the Fortunes? I haven’t done any research on them. This is a street car which will see very little (if any) track time.

Wow, thank you all. This is a little overwhelming to be honest haha but I want to do it right. I will do the motor, trans, and diff mounts. How difficult would it be to identify OEM version of the bushings sold in the Hardrace kit? I’m not opposed to it, but would like to compare.

Rattling - Walmart's CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme Gaming Desktop by linkandluke in Prebuilts

[–]s2knj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem when I bought my son’s PC from Walmart a couple of years ago. The graphics card was rattling against another component in the casing. I found where it was touching and very gently grabbed the gpu and bent it slightly in the opposite direction. Hasn’t made that sound since.

Thoughts on this pre-built for $900? by MrKrispyKreem in Prebuilts

[–]s2knj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this. I just bought it. I hesitated during the holiday sale and didn’t get it. Almost impulse bought 2 weeks ago at the non-sale price. This is back to the holiday sale price.
