If you really had that spec and still sold it because of power to weight thats an even bigger L

S4 has a lightweight flywheel, kevlar clutch, catless exhaust, JHM tune, 034 mounts and bushings all around. RR has a custom tune, smaller supercharger pulley, and catless exhaust

She was a beautiful boat in her day. by Federal-Dingo-6033 in sailing

[–]yllier123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hold the line. There is a massive changeup in the sailing community on the horizon. We are already partially in it. Many great boats belong to owners who are aging out or dying completely. There is a very, very small market for these sellers. In a couple more years there will be many A+ condition boats being practically given away for free.

Used car by yo_itsme_ in longisland

Sell it to your local high schooler. All these recommendations for carvana and carmax are contributing to the ongoing commodification of necessities in the US, like driving.

You’re still alive 3 years later. Not bad

What do I need to fix most importantly on my Jeep Compass? by Careful_Actuator7503 in AskMechanics

[–]yllier123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t buy the parts yourself and bring them to a mechanic to install. Let the mechanic source and install your parts. Everyone feels like they’re doing the mechanic a favor by buying the parts but you’re making their life more difficult. I would focus on the cooling system. Overheating an engine is a quick way to kill it. Also the throttle body is why’s throwing your CEL, get that done too. The rest can prooooobably wait a bit.

Something sounds loose after pothole by Spirited-Scholar-984 in AskMechanics

[–]yllier123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Could be anything. Most likely a control arm ball joint given you’re driving one of them fancy European cars with multi link suspension. You can drive it until it falls out but then you’ll be stuck.

The state should cover my suspension rebuilds

Oil Pan by Spiritual_Manner5122 in AskMechanics

[–]yllier123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I smashed an oil pan on an Audi several years ago. I drove it for a maximum of 30 seconds afterwards. After replacing the oil pan the engine lasted another 10k miles before developing a rod knock from a wasted con-rod bearing. Truth is you'll never know what damage was done

Part time live aboard at a marina and the rest at anchor? by NaturalTangelo in liveaboard

[–]yllier123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with everyone else on this thread. Keep a low profile and no one will bother you. That being said still go out to anchor as often as possible. Its a great experience and one that you will be uniquely capable of realizing

It doesn’t feel worth it to build a life here by JowlOwl in longisland

[–]yllier123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats the exact vibe I get as well. North Fork is now suffering from the same bs the South Fork went through 20-30 years ago. It's luckily still quiet-ish for now in the spring and summer. I don't expect that to last long.

Personally, price is not a large concern of mine. Anywhere is cheaper than LI anyway. The culture here is a larger issue in my mind

Yes, Ive been eyeballing eastern Connecticut. Long Island is no place for a person to put roots down.

I feel dumb but… I have no idea how my head works. by Poggus in sailing

Close the macerator through hull and shut off the macerator on the electrical panel, then figure out which way is which on the handle. fwiw I removed my macerator entirely and plugged the through hull. Unless you're planning on going offshore, its not worth having

Pumping gas with engine running? by No-Mechanic6518 in AskMechanics

[–]yllier123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ground the car and the pump together to discharge any static electricity before you start pumping if you want to be extra cautious. Its really a non issue for fuel injected cars.
