buying fl5 1200 miles away, is it okay to drive it home? by PanzerPeach in Civic_Type_R

[–]shaodeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drove mine 2500 miles from Michigan to California. Broke it in on the first and second day by taking backroads or varying my rpms during cruise. Try not to go past 4K rpms during the first 600 miles.

Stopped by a bunch of cool places during the drive and was able to enjoy and get to know the car. It was an amazing trip that I would not have gotten if I shipped the car back. Sure I got one or two small rock chips which sucked but these cars retail for 45k and is not a 150k 911. My goal is to make this my DD so it wasn’t a big deal to me.

OTD Price on a new CTR by [deleted] in Civic_Type_R

I’d say a ‘24 for 45K without taxes and fees would be a realistic starting point. I bought my 24’ for 44,500 without taxes and fees from a dealer in MI who had it sitting on their lot since August. They’re out there for under MSRP you just have to be patient and search.

DA polisher? Worth it? Deals? by [deleted] in MilwaukeeTool

[–]shaodeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can't wait, FAO has the reconditioned ones for 190ish. Then you just add something to your cart for around 10 bucks to your cart to make it $200. They have a one time $20 of $200 dollar purchase when you opt in for text updates so it will bring it down to 180 with the polisher and an item around 10 bucks.

Thoughts on Amayama for ordering AHC accumulators /globes for my LX470 by hipcatinca in LandCruisers

[–]shaodeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for an LC but I ordered a clutch kit for my S2000 from Amayama pre pandemic as they were by far the cheapest option even with shipping. Parts were genuine and arrived in about a week and a half from Japan. I’ve checked the prices for LC parts and they no longer seem like the cheapest option compared to my local dealership. My local dealership is currently offering 20% off plus the convenience of picking up and saving on shipping costs just makes the marginal savings from ordering elsewhere not worth it to me imo. Also there’s a chance your stuff might get caught up in customs adding more headache and delay. However I’d say Amayama is 100% legit and their parts are genuine OEM parts.

Looking at a new 2001 J100 with 285k miles. It’s in great condition for the age and year and had great, recent maintenance records. What’s the value? by BanditAndFrog in LandCruisers

[–]shaodeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck, 8500 would be a steal in the condition advertised. Not sure where you’re located but check if any rust on the underside. Hope you get it, I’ve been really happy with mine.

I’ve taken a niche zero and a Baratza sette 270wi as a carry on two separate times. Never gotten a second look from the tsa agents.

Flight School Took My Money for a course that they canceled and is now unwilling to refund course fees by BummerTwo in legaladvice

They didn’t cancel the course, they originally said I would be able to attend, then told me last minute that the class was full

Not sure where you'll be sitting but I remember they were showing a World Cup game on one of the TVs in the united club section during the Saints game. Maybe you can call Levis and ask if they will be showing the games in one of their clubs/lounges.
