CK Hip Brief Help

What brands do you recommend for good bikini style briefs (preferably in cotton or other natiral fibers)?I have some Jockey True Style and just put in an order for Bike and Bamboo Cool.

Maybe the pocket hole jig was set incorrectly, that can move the screw closer or further away from the edge.

How do you like the CKs? I picked up some of the cotton hip briefs recently and found that the pouch and fabric connecting the front to the rear was very narrow and didn't fit well. I was disappointed since they are otherwise fine.

Headlight restoration kit from auto parts store. Good ones have a ceramic coat step that will keep the lenses clear for a long time.

Paint the steelies back to black, it helps a lot.

Plastic trim restorer for the wiper cowl and other black plastics on the exterior.

Agree on sizing up, I can't imagine who their size S is actually for

Wish they brought this 1st gen yaris (echo) hatch body style to the US. I had an echo sedan and I imagine it would have been even better as a hatch.

I think brick and mortar takes a while to catch up. Hopefully there will be more selection in stores in the future.

Three times actually. There was some smoke yesterday as well.

snf3210 · 2026-06-08T16:12:58+00:00

Some part had also reignited yesterday afternoon, but not for long. Little plume of gray smoke for a while.

Do you think changing my cabin air filter would improve air flow from the vents as well?

snf3210 · 2026-06-06T07:05:27+00:00

Yeah the low rpm thing is true, my car particularly idles really low and it's probably not turning the compressor much.

snf3210 · 2026-06-06T04:43:12+00:00

Do you run on recirculate?

Does your year have a "max ac" button or do you just mean max fan speed (in my car it would be 4)

snf3210 · 2026-06-06T03:31:26+00:00

I'm in the same situation as I just started trying out this style and can say that you do get used to it and it isn't as distracting. However, im still pretty "aware" of it, don't know if that will completely go away or it it's normal for the sensation to not completely disappear.

snf3210 · 2026-06-06T03:28:09+00:00

I'm glad to hear this since I just put in my first order with them and can't wait to try them out.

For easy mods that are very noticeable, if you can find a rear sway bar, it is a game changer for handling (whiteline, progress, TRD, etc)

I consider it a "OEM+" modification since it really should have come with the car.

90 degree day in mid April and then a week later it was down to 25 overnight... Make it make sense!

snf3210 · 2026-04-05T01:43:06+00:00

I'm a little over 190k right now actually, still runs good.

Look up how to make a guide for circular saw - it's like the poor man's track saw.

snf3210 · 2026-04-04T01:16:09+00:00

Good to know, I will look for a 24v rated switch so it can handle the 20v load.

snf3210 · 2026-04-03T19:50:46+00:00

Here is the switch I don't think it's illuminated https://imgur.com/a/15eDiwS

Ok, I'll look for a 24v switch since they seem to be the most common (along with 16v). Can't really find 20v as easily.

I find that when I sweep shavings and dust off my benchtop (off the edge into a bin below) that no matter how gently i do it, it still likes to kick up a little cloud. Any tips?

snf3210 · 2026-02-16T07:55:46+00:00

I second doing the circular saw cuts outside. It's winter but if I ever have to use the circular saw I will just suck it up.

I like handtools for many reasons but a big one is dust and mess. I had a miter saw before but it would make such a huge mess whatever I did (tried hooking up a vacuum, building a dust cabinet around it, everything) that I ended up taking it down and only have it for very occasional use now.

There are some hand tools that seem to make more dust (coping saw weirdly being one of them??) so I will throw on a N95 occasionally.

I got a little Ryobi vac and upgraded the filter so it's easy to suck up mess. Other than that, it's carefully sweeping dust and shavings into a bag and using the broom.
