They do however stock parts for a Volvo S60R or V70R, which is the exact same Brembo as the FK8

And fluids

EDIT: My money comment was not on BIC_BAWS, I've been trying to chase down an idle problem on my S2000 and what I thought was the issue was not the issue after all...

Oh. :badpokerface:

What's a car? :suspicious:

Loaded a bunch of mulch into the trunk this weekend. If I find a truck with a cap/topper, is it safe to fill up the bed to the top like this?

You Guangdong hoarder! :seriously:

I want to say yes, but you'd have to know the bed's limits and how to distribute the load properly.

Don't trust me. I drive a Corolla.

I think it’s fine as long as it doesn’t exceed the trucks payload.

If you have to overload anything, do an F-150.
Aluminum body means payload is generally higher than the rest.
My 5.0 has heavy duty payload package, ~3300lb payload.

Do not overload RAM and Tundra with their coil spring rear.
2000# is 2000# on these.

Tacoma is a 1 way street to life insurance payout - their frames already snap with a couple years of rust or if you looked at them kinda funny. 1200# payload is a joke lol, 5 adults and a suitcase each overloads it.

yes, thats a great idea, ill just go buy a 80-90k truck for the occasional 1 day out of 365 that i need to haul shit while leaving the truck bed empty for the other 364. Stupid si fat long 屎窟窿

Spoiler!

Tried normal driving, car still has a 7% difference. Left bank usually around +/- 2%. Right bank always -5 to -8%.

Tried the underscore method, battery reset, no change.

Tried the chris brown method

Spoiler!

, no change.

About 200kms for the above.

Car drives fine, maybe il ask on the C7 forums if anyone has data from new. Then again, those geezers use their cars to get groceries and discuss how they are "1 of 1" circlejerks

Will probably order 4 more injectors and change the right bank, as preventative measure + to find out if that sorts it. Il report back later on.

Also: after i fixed the cyl 5 misfire, my car had a "service battery" light come up. Checked all connections at battery, looked good. Burned 240$ on a battery, same issue. My blind ass missed the black ground wire, that ripped off the ground terminal, and was blending in with the rest of the area :facepalm:

I tell myself the existing battery was original, and maybe it was just meant to be.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not planning to get a truck, but my neighbor offered his truck to me and got me wondering how big of an improvement having a truck for this task would be.

Hobz is right that it's not worth getting a whole other vehicle for the 10-20 days in the year when having a truck bed for yardwork is handy (weight won't ever reach anywhere near payload). Plus, I don't want my Guangdong aunties asking me to help them move their hoarded goods.
