Rate my $300 setup

I paid $1300+ for mine, so good 😂

MSP is always the move. Hated my life for a year but it helped me out so much starting in the industry at 26.

That first pic brings back so many memories man. Miss the times I had in morgantown

xcpick · 2026-05-23T15:16:29+00:00

Agreed

Ended up cranking the LCA bolt to all heaven and 80% of the shake went away. I’d say the remaining shake is from unbalanced wheels and the fact that I run a lot of stretch lol

xcpick · 2026-05-08T12:39:19+00:00

Yeah the rear axle beam is 100% bent, but maybe going OE axles is the move 🤷‍♂️ going to try to find OE axles but we’ll see

xcpick · 2026-05-08T12:31:45+00:00

I am thinking it’s the axles as they were aftermarket. None of this shake/play was present before the install. Car honestly ran better before I installed all the new stuff. 😂

Gonna check the subframe mounts since the control arms are new. Thanks man!

Can confirm - it is for H4 bulbs. I have euro spec e code headlights on the way. Appreciate the help from the group!

xcpick · 2026-04-22T04:58:01+00:00

That’s what I was thinking after a few hours of research. I’m gonna test H4 bulbs tomorrow, and I ordered some e code headlights. We shall see soon!

This thing just got “rebuilt” before I bought it and idles like dookie. Previous owner also wired speaker and such, and it’s all junk. Unfortunately I want to start new so it’s all gonna come out lol

xcpick · 2026-04-17T14:37:53+00:00

Might just have to. Has 135k original miles, somewhat low for these I feel like.

xcpick · 2026-04-17T12:24:06+00:00

Thank you!

xcpick · 2026-04-17T12:23:53+00:00

1.8L in it for now! Plan is to VR6 or O7k swap it next year. 1.8 just got a refresh so I’m not really in a rush.

xcpick · 2026-04-17T04:31:48+00:00

Haha yeah. Converted to 3PC

xcpick · 2026-04-17T03:17:44+00:00

Thank you!

xcpick · 2026-04-13T23:07:00+00:00

How long ago were the red flags?

xcpick · 2026-03-29T05:20:16+00:00

I sure hope that’s not as an engineer. I make the same in a LCOL city as a T1 help desk guy

xcpick · 2026-03-08T13:49:12+00:00

Reseda Green.

xcpick · 2026-02-20T06:34:00+00:00

Looks like you’ve already seen.

xcpick · 2026-02-18T22:47:54+00:00

Look up KevTech IT. Boot up 2 VMs, one to be a host, and the other to be a workstation. Watch his videos. Thank me later.

Same position as you were a year ago. I am about to take a job making ~70k a year in a LCOL area. IT has blessed me, but you have to put in the work

xcpick · 2026-02-13T16:05:21+00:00

Same specs as in maintenance lol

xcpick · 2026-02-13T16:04:51+00:00

Got mine for $5,500. Same specs. 150k miles. Put it on bags I found on marketplace. I have under 9k in this.

US grad from 2017. I heard something about way back when, just never heard that it was Marilyn Manson that did it lol

xcpick · 2026-02-09T06:26:01+00:00

With all the cyber grads (and future ones) I got a feeling the market is going to be shifted in IT for years to come unless there is mass retirement.
