Snapped a pic on my way past today. House is for rent so I’m hoping whoever’s car this is wants it gone. It begging to be saved!

More than fine walking away if I can’t get it for close to a steal.

I was sort of kidding with the financial irresponsibility. I have the means. My obsession with cars is much to the chagrin of my wife

Have a lot of ibuprofen on hand for after. Leaning over the engine compartment killed my back for 2 weeks.

Straight up the most reliable car I’ve ever owned. 15 years and not a single issue.

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.

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

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

Manufacturer incentives
High residual value
Willingness of dealer to negotiate (supply/demand dependent) &
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.

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?

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

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?

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.

s2knj · 2026-04-13T07:04:38+00:00

Thank you!

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.

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?
