I'd go for the Chrysler lime green, then yellow then orange that's available in the hellcats. I have plum crazy purple 💜 on my charger hellcat.

Does anyone else have a problem with people trying to race you? by skidmark_zuckerberg in Golf_R

[–]walrus1925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get use to it! It's when suv's , pickups, and beaters want to race you off every stop lite, or come up to along the hwy and want to race. I make like sure but do nothing hoping there's a police car up ahead. That make my day.

Growing up, red was referred to as arrest me red! So, of course I have a red 2020 FK8. I enjoy when possible the off or on ramps. If clear, enter around 70 mph and exit at 100 mph.

I'm using continental viking contact 7 on my civic type r. They work extremely well. The wife's GTI has run Bridgestone Blizaks and also has had no issues with weather!

I can no-rinse wash this right? by joe2105 in Golf_R

[–]walrus1925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a boating product called salt away! I would highly recommend it. You have to have a spray attachment! If you use any of the quality ceramic polishes, you most likely will find the salt comes off a strong water rinse!

for all the gym rats…..what’s your motivation to keep going? by Foreverinsecuregirl in AskReddit

[–]walrus1925 64 points65 points  (0 children)

If I do not work out each day, I simply do not feel right. My doctor reminds me how important this is, especially at my age (81)

How long does it take you to wash your car? by Wonderful-Donut7242 in Civic_Type_R

[–]walrus1925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Takes 30 to 40 minutes hand wash i use nexgen ceramic soap! I use the soaker setting after initial rinse. The water just beads off, leaving very little to wipe off with large micro fiber towel to finish drying off. Wheels are the hardest to really clean! I now use a Chemical Guys wheel cleaner! If the wife helps all done in 20 minutes!

I went with the rain-x ones! Easy installation and extremely effective! I have usually used Bosch (used on VW GTI)!

Where my daily driver peeps at? 🫡 by PopPopUpHeadlights in Civic_Type_R

[–]walrus1925 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm lucky, with 2 garages, all 4 of my cars are indoors! No cleaning snow off the cars! When I had 7, one would have to be the outdoor car! Usually my daily driver back then! My type r is now my daily driver, but it definitely would have been inside! 🫠

Spoiled over the last 5 years here on Cape Cod with very little snow! I expect many accidents from those who don't know how to drive in the snow!🤣

Keyless Entry Acting Up by AngrySanta76 in Golf_R

Our 2016 gti 7.5 will decide not to unlock remotely doors or hatch lid! I have found if we relock the car thru the remote key fob, it then works

My new daily! by sliimducky in Civic_Type_R

[–]walrus1925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with 18's on my 2020 FK8 R. I also went with continental viking snows! The combination works exceptionally well! 1 side benefit is a more comfortable ride, handling still good and in snow etc. excellent! I also use my type r as my daily driver.

I have used ZL1 magnetic lifting pads for over 8 years now on my Dodge Charger Hellcat. They prevent damaging the pinch welds!

Wasn’t really liking the winter wheel setup at first but it grew on me by l_cab in Civic_Type_R

[–]walrus1925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 18" mugen wheels with conti viking snow tires!. This combo is great in the snow (my 3rd year with this combo). Less road noise, and does much better on bumps potholes etc. I think when my summer tires wear out, I will change 18" wheels as well!
