ive had something very similar happen before. This sounds ghetto but it may work as a last ditch effort

if the bolt is sticking out enough get a small blade off a hand saw and cut a line into the top of the bolt. Then get a flat screw driver to get it out.

[SpuGen]

Would the patched hole be strong enough to be re-drilled and anchored?

I'm space limited, so the lift has to be in that particular spot.

[MindBomber]

Would the patched hole be strong enough to be re-drilled and anchored?

I'm space limited, so the lift has to be in that particular spot.

There are epoxies designed to secure anchor bolts inserted into over sized holes into concrete. There are tolerance ranges, so if you choose to go that route ensure you're within them.

here's an example:
Ramset Australia (http://www.ramset.com.au/Product/Detail/6/ChemSet-Reo-502-)

You could also get a female concrete anchor that will sleeve the hole, taking up the slack and allowing you to re-use what's existing.

Yeah, spacers with build in studs starts at 15mm+.
10mm and 5mm are too thin to have build in studs.
I'll be measuring the exact measurement later today to see how many mm I need and go from there.

Called a concrete guy just to be safe.
(Firm Built, as mentioned by Catalin in VLS/Home Reno)

He checked it out, said the slab wasn't deep enough and that it was at most 2 inches. The lift requires 4 inches min. It's not really something I want to fuck with since it's a safety issue. I don't want it to ever fall on me/car due to a shit install.

He's calling me back with a quote tomorrow, and suggested that he digs 2x2x1, then fills. Sounds reasonable.

Also asked him about putting in a 20x8x1 slab on the side of my driveway, and he said it would be about $1700. So I'm really hoping that the fix on the anchor sites won't be anymore than $500.

This lift better be worth it.

recording is very good, the wide angle is awesome. i had the dash cam running last night parked at home and today during work and it caught alot of wide angle motions then you see the motion come into the camera view.

i did find that the version 2 unit does get pretty warm(hot day today), i dont have the tool to measure how hot but it feels like having a laptop on your lap after using it for an hour or two.

im not too sure what they meant by the unit has a "fan" in it compared to version 1 because i still found it pretty toasty. id hate to imagine how hot the version 1 got.

[inv4zn]

A lot of Korean websites say that operating temperatures are identical between the two versions.

The difference is how the unit handles the heat.

[asr]

^test about 4hours dr400g II, test the temperature by temp reader. It showed 35 centidegree. Little lower than the v1. I am kind satisfied with the new version.

[Peturbo]

Just hardwired a dash cam my friend gave me into my car.

[xjc11]

drove it :okay:

[ForeverYours]

New wheels arrived today! Will be putting them on when I have time.
Upgraded to 20"on 245/30/20 tires
Original OEM size was 16" on 215/60/16 tires

The new wheels will fill up the guards pretty well... may end up lowering the car with lowering springs and get spacers to be a bit more flush

Thanks for the guys on RS Chat that helped me pick out the rims! :fullofwin:

So..Im not sure where to post this....but here goes...

Went to Brian Jessel Autohaus for an Oil change; booked an appointment for 130pm and it was suppose to be a 45min-1hr job. Ends up being 3hrs and no courtesy car (3rd time this happened to me at Brian Jessel Autohaus)...Service Advisor told me to go hangout at McDonalds for 3hrs using their free wifi. I laughed at him and the ridiculousness of the situation.

Get my car back looking like this...The oil actually was sprayed down the side of my car too. All my wheels had grease marks on them from his visual inspection and so did my door sills and drivers door. Im surprised that he didnt get grease on my steering wheel and seats.

A friend linked me to your post; I work at Autohaus, not necessarily a tech or a salesman, just the part-time web guy there. I'd like to help resolve this as the managers at Autohaus are pretty serious about customer service issues such as this.

I'll send you a PM with contact info if you'd like to have this issue cleared up and fixed. The issue has already been brought up with them and they're more than willing to speak with you on the matter.

removed my 'limo' tint.

When i purchased this car, it had this super dark 5% tint on rear 3 windows...so i took a handheld steamer ($40 at walmart)...steamed up windows at high heat.. began peeling the tint.. the glue would pretty much melt with the heat of the steam and basically rubs right off. would have cost me $150 to get it done at whatever tint shop.

Plan is to tint a bit lighter next spring but this dark stuff look was way too dark for my liking.

[westopher]

Good choice. I think dark tint on anything smaller than a 7 series takes away from the cleanliness (and drivability) of the car.

yea i think they look pretty good too! maybe with larger spacers it would look better. i am just not used to seeing them sunk inside the fenders. i am loving the rub-free setup, though, and the ride is night and day in terms of comfortability!

i got off work at 9 yesterday and just stayed home, so wasn't me!

Yah, it looks very clean and I believe those are the same wheels on the A5? They look similar to my wheels.

Been trying to turn this hybrid back to stock and sell it, but my mom says she wants to keep it as a spare car for herself to drive for another year (she shares a c300 with my stepdad but on the very rare occasion they drive out separately). Took off most of the mods, and just swapped the black grill for a chrome one yesterday. I don't have the stock hood though... and my mom says she wants to keep the spoiler on the car even though I had found a buyer for it... so now it will look like this more or less for the next year until she wants to sell it :badpokerface: Except the hybrid 15" stockies will go back on once my friend takes his DC5 stockies back, making it look even worse :pokerface:

Spent the morning trying to break into my own car after I left the keys in the ignition and the car auto locked itself. Wedged the window open and tried to fish the keys out and successfully did so and when I was inches away from pulling them out my window I decided to drop them off the coat hanger hook where they then landed in th crack between the passenger seat and the door. Tried to pick the lock from the inside too but door lock isnt a typical design so failed hard as well. Ended up calling busters and $52 later I have my keys again. Messed up the paint pretty bad on my hard top too but oh we'll I wanted to paint it anyways lulz

[fliptuner]

I did that last month.

I just wanted to rinse the dust off so I started the car to let the AC run. The doors usually autolock 2 seconds after starting unless they're open but I closed it too soon and they locked right after I shut the door.

I had to rip my visor off to peel the winow out to open the lock, then reprep the door and visor for new 3M tape. Great way to waste an hour.

Replaced front and rear sway bar endlinks. No more knocking over bumps! :fuckyea:

if u have a second car or a friend to drive, u can just write down the VIN, bring it to ur dealer and have them create a key for u. Way cheaper than 52 dollars and did i mention its also scratch free on your paint? ;)

That can work sometimes, but if your car is say early 90's then a lot of times dealerships can't cut keys off the vin. They will need the actual cylinder from the car to copy or code a key to cut it. Lets not forget too most dealerships will need insurance papers to shown to prove that you own the car and aren't trying to get a key for someone else's car. In his case either way I doubt he had his insurance papers on him.

Lord.. my friends lexus key just broke and its push to start, the dealership said they'd have to get a new chip programmed and ordered in. Whats wrong with a traditional key nowadays? Seems like the safer way to go..

Spun in 2nd gear, and 3rd gear, and 4th gear, and 5th gear on a 275 tire. I wonder how much torque it'll put down on ze dyno...

Had my b-pillars on my 750i wrapped in gloss black.

Thanks to Jeremy + friend @ MW Studios Group (http://www.mwstudiosgroup.com/) for coming down to place to do the wrapping, the wrapping looks excellent and saved me $800+ to go down the OEM route.

could have just polished it back to new in 4 mins with a buffer and some compound. :fullofwin:

if u have a second car or a friend to drive, u can just write down the VIN, bring it to ur dealer and have them create a key for u. Way cheaper than 52 dollars and did i mention its also scratch free on your paint? ;)

This is not always true; newer cars that have fobs require programming of keys; takes a week. Prices can exceed 400+ dollars.:badpokerface:
