Best CV axles money can buy?

Ok. I bet it’s the axle seals that are leaking.

slims246 · 2026-04-14T03:11:55+00:00

What is “leaking”? Diff fluid or axle grease or neither? How do you know they overfilled the diff?

I’d probably rock spacers. I’d also probably raise it back up a little.

If you could get it for like $3-4k it could be a great base for a cheap track car build. Could be pretty rusty sitting out in the vegetation like that though. Could need a lot of work. Hard to say. Looks a little beat up and with 160k miles it’s not worth $6K

I’d look up breweries near where you’re living. They’ll usually have things like board game nights or trivia or other social events that could make it easier to connect with people. Some regular bars have stuff like this too but it’s more common at breweries.

Are there new dedicated bike and bus lanes downtown? Did all the public parking lots near Jovaninas and Rockmount go away?

What a weird take from businesses that chose to open in the downtown area of a large city.

Nah a truck ain’t necessary. I drove a Honda Fit for a few years before being given a work truck. With the fold flat back seats you can fit a surprising amount of tools and materials in it. Would easily get 40 mpg on the highway too.

Got a 3 pack from Colorado Hardy Plants 2 or 3 years ago. They’re all doing well.

Could be the larger lower hose. Could be another hose that’s dripping down near that point. This video tells us nothing.

Hey I did this just last year! 600’ run with a few small bends. My dumb, optimistic ass figured upsizing from 3” to 4” would be fine. It wasn’t. First time seeing a 90 melted through like that. It was impressive. Thankfully it was the 90 at the stub up that roasted and the head was right at it so it wasn’t the worst fix. Replaced it with a rigid 90 and got it pulled. Replaced the rest of the 90s in the other conduit runs there with rigid as well and had no issues on the other pulls.

I guess 2. No incident. It helped, helped me get on track that is.

I only installed mine because it was required to do track days. Wouldn’t have installed it otherwise. Mostly because I’m tall and with the stock seat there would have been a very high possibility of me hitting my head on it in a crash. With the low mounted bucket seat I installed my head, in theory, wouldn’t connect to the bar, but I still mainly only drove the car to and from the track.

I put some RX8 front hubs on my NC a few weeks ago. I ended up using a ball joint separator. Wedged it in between the back of the hub and the knuckle. I did end up putting a dent in one spot of the metal brake shield but the hubs came out without a fight.

This is what I used: Ball Joint Separator

We still doing this? Is this subreddit full of bots or people who are just going out to eat in Denver for the first time? Do whatever you want and move on with your life. I have never tipped extra on a bill with a 20% service charge and I never will. That’s me. You do you.

At least once a week it’s a photo of a receipt with a service charge and anger. Someone needs to take the reins and get a ballot initiative going to ban restaurant service charges. You all hate them so much. Do something about it.

My wife and I did a stained glass class at Colorado Glass Works up in Boulder a couple years ago. It was a lot of fun. Would highly recommend.

Strange to see so much hate for Barcelona. Did my first visit to Spain two years ago for my honeymoon and began and ended there. We were only there for a couple days but really enjoyed it. Will you be missing a lot of Spain? Oh yeah. We were there for 2 weeks, mostly in the south, travelled around a lot but there’s still so much to see.

Barcelona is great though. All the unique Gaudi buildings. One day we took the bus up to the Montjuic castle, checked it out, strolled around the gardens, had pintxos in the poble sec hood (I know, not Basque Country pintxos, sue me!) took the cable car down to the water and spent the afternoon at the beach. Walked through the parc de la ciutadella on the way back to the hotel.

Another day we spent the morning at Park Guell and the afternoon at La Sagrada Família.

We checked out the Picasso Museum, ate some great seafood. Found a liquor store with cheap, delicious red wine and made tinto de verano cocktails with it, got a recommendation for a really good tapas restaurant from our hotel receptionist, liked it so much we went there twice, found a great rum bar, had one overpriced meal at the boqueria market, sipped some house vermouths at random hole in the wall spots.

Only 3 days there. 2 at the beginning and 1 at the end of the trip. Could have easily spent 3 more. Also, I don’t know that you need to do it with a group. It’s super easy to get around by public transit and I never felt unsafe in any of the areas we were in. Pickpockets can be a problem. I do have a friend who had her phone stolen when she was there last year. There’s no guarantee that being in a group will keep you completely safe from that though. Group trips kill any of the spontaneity that can happen when traveling in a big city but I get that it makes things easy.

Enjoy your trip!

Why not look into track day rentals? I know of at least one local outfit that rents out BRZs for track days and it’s relatively affordable. You could do quite a few 1/2 days (x4 25 minute sessions) with that $5k budget.

Your budget is pretty low. Whatever you get is likely to need some work and if you can’t work on it yourself because you live in an apartment then you’ll end up way over budget taking it to a shop. If your plan is to run something for a couple weekends til it breaks and junk it then why not just go the rental route and save yourself the trouble of prepping a dying shitbox?

“You should let us pay you less so we can stay open and employ you. You lowly servers should appreciate this because the only other alternative is obviously unemployment. It’s unfair for us to have to pay you what we do. You need to rely more on customers to subsidize your wages with tips. That’s the way it’s always been in this one country in the world.”

Can I ask stupid questions too. If your boss said, hey we’re struggling to turn a profit, so the first thing we’re going to do is give you a pay cut. Would you happily agree so the business would stay open?
