I finally took the Jeep out for a proper test run with a couple friends. They nearly completely destroyed a driveshaft, I had a briefly flakey oil pressure sensor and noisy accessory belt (probably from all the puddles), and I found out my alternator whines when I turn the roof lights on at idle so overall a good day.



Front drive shafts on the WJ always blows after a lift. Mine is starting to go as well. Going to be switching it up with a Tom Woods Double Cardan soon.

I think they mainly go because people lift their WJ when the joint is already mostly dead. My buddies had a torn boot and it was full of rocks when he removed it yesterday lol. Loads of guys run the Rzeppa with a lift and are fine if you maintain them properly, just like anything else. I only found that out after I'd already swapped mine. I wish I just rebuilt the Rzeppa because the swap was a PITA. I had to hunt down the correct tcase yoke since I have the uncommon spline count that hardly anyone knows about.

GUH another Golf R. WANT

Roach
06-02-2022, 03:38 PM
IMO, ever since the MkV GTI, the defining personality of the GTI / Golf R is that it is such a good all-rounder car that it feels like it doesn't have any distinguishing personality. Think on that for a moment, and you see the car under a new light.

On paper it is definitely a fantastic all-around car. Just not the most inspiring to drive. I miss my STI hatch and MS3 for all the personality they had. Imperfect cars but more sense of occasion.

How's the manual on your R? I heard the manual R isn't the greatest shift feeling in the world... or clutch is kinda poppy?

Similar to the MK7.5 R I had. Clutch is easy to use. Shifter is kind of vague and light.

Did you ever get to try the Veloster N vs Golf R?

I really wanted the Golf R for many factors but once I drove it for an hour. It was fast, comfortable, and everything was so refined that lacked the "fun". But now that I look back, that comfort is nice when you are driving people around or in traffic.

I'll be honest, I couldn't get over the aesthetic aspect. So I didn't really consider it. I just turned 40 and didn't want to drive something too young looking. I'm having a hard time with the R, even. Too much blue. The understated look of the MK7.5 was better.

What made you decide to get the MK8 if you already had the 7.5? Is it the market pricing, you wanted something different, better ergonomics, or...?

I have no idea why you would want to wrap that. Just PPF it.

Badhobz

^ the goal initially was just to protect the paint. Ppf would do it, but for the same amount of money that inozetec wrap is pretty thick (and the Colors are more interesting), I got a sample piece from my installer and I’ve been testing on it. Seems to do a pretty good job at preventing scratches / rocks.

appreciate the kind words gents, i'm very smitten with this car.

I would say the money is worth it as you get the last NA V8 they'll probably ever make (even RX went 4 banger w/ turbo, and the new LX is v6TT) it makes a great noise and with the super shitty sales numbers, it has the making of a future collectable..... possibly. Its just ridiculously expensive for a Lexus. My wife thought it was a 50k car, when i told it was 150k+ shes like WTF.

but its because of stuff like this, carbon fibre reinforced plastic everywhere. Hood, doors, fenders, trunk.. pretty much there isnt any metal left in the body. (still a pig though)
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/cimg/www.clublexus.com/1600x900_85-1/786/4-340786.jpg

And this is a real Toyota Product. They should have used this, stripped it of all its luxury and badged it a Soarer / Supra. It would have probably hit better with enthusiasts than the current BMW Supra.

Yea that’s true like this should have been the supra.

The one thing like the MKIV had is that it was a BIG car I think that added so much to its presence. The current supra it’s kinda like ehh another like miata, 2 series, smaller car and I think it was a disservice to the name even though that’s the way cars are going

Have you seen a mk4 supra recently? Especially a stock one? I was astonished at how small it actually was compared to how I remembered it. I think a lot of the modded ones look bigger too because of all the clunky shit all over them, and that's almost all of them.
Edit: just looked it up. It's 3 inches longer and 3 inches wider than the e36 m3, which by todays standards is a really small car.

Those LC500s are super cool. A friend snapped one up for a good price and I got some seat time with it. It's a bit flashy for me (I wasn't comfortable with everyone looking) but it was really nice with more-than-enough performance for the street.

I think part of it is the proportions as well, 1.5" per side will make it look a bit heftier but it's also 3.4" lower than an E36. Newer cars are even worse. My old coworker had a 9th gen Lancer (which isn't even new anymore) and they're 8.3" taller than the Supra. But in your head you kinda think all cars are roughly the same height so out of context the Supra seems huge. If you see it next to another car or even a person though you realize it's just really low. Same deal with stuff like the Gallardo, it looks huge until you see someone beside it and realize it's wee and only 11mm longer than an E36.

I dunno I see them all the time because there’s a garage on the Burnaby/NW border that probably has 3-5 of them at any given time. Still look like a big car to me today.

I’d say a car that stands out as BIG today is the new 8 series coupe, I’d be curious of the dimensions of it VS other sport coupes

8 series gran coupe is 23” longer than a MK4 Supra… about 2 big back decks

That 8 series is insane. Insanely big, insanely fast (m8 competition does 0-60 in under 3 seconds). On paper it’s very impressive.. But I drove it and found it lifeless. Interior wasn’t very special either and it looks like every other bmw. Didn’t seem like it’s worth the money.

The front end of the Supra feels WAY bigger than the e36. You're sitting further back, and lower. The E36 is much easier to drive, but I could keep the back end of the supra in check more easily even with the extra ~90hp.

So maybe it's not much larger, but the proportions feel totally different.

The JCW mini isn't bad either. Great seating position, nice chassis, strong brakes, and not too heavy. I couldn't deal with the fake engine noise and lack of LSD though.

Those 2020+ JCW Clubman / Countryman are pretty decent as well - they pack 300hp from the X2 / 2GC M35i and with a posh interior but without the pretension that a BMW brings.

It cruises between 120km/h-140km/h quite easily, some of the hills were a little bit challenging when I got blocked and couldn't maintain my momentum but it would still do 85km/h up the larger hills. The turbo diesel 1KZTE 3.0L is pretty decent engine, I know there are a few lil mods like an EGR block off plate I can do in the future to increase the power as well.

I would say at this stage in life its almost subconscious for me to monitor and know if I'm pushing a car too hard. WOT is not something that equates to blowing an engine. Did I stand on the gas pedal going up some of the hills? Sure, but at no point was I pushing the engine too hard or did my temps ever go up.

GTFO amber corner lenses.

As with every previous car I've owned, replacing amber corner lenses with painted always makes a massive difference. Looks 850% cleaner and better. There's a reason Porsche (and every manufacturer) always uses European models in their ads / promo shots...

Swap out your lenses kids (unless you're a masochist and somehow enjoy the reflector look I guess?).

Monotone is supposed to be clean? But it just looks boring to me.

Sure, swap out the reflectors but don’t complain if you get a ticket!

I won't complain haha. I've been driving without amber corners / reflectors since 2008 and haven't once had a cop mention it or notice it.

I'll concede that if you drive something that looks far less stock than my Cayenne -- ie. lowered, aftermarket exhaust, etc -- this would be a much bigger risk. But yeah, maybe I should've added a disclaimer about the technically-illegal aspect, and that there's a very slim chance you could theoretically run into the world's most observant and anal-retentive cop who might notice....

No front reflectors on a dark coloured car, iono man. Thems rolling some dice, especially with the drivers around here.

I mean, they're not required in Europe where roads are narrower and often drivers are far more maniacal. Given how reflective the OEM headlight housing is on the Cayenne, you'd have to be driving in the pitch black of night without headlights or DRL in order to somehow not see a full-size SUV.

Maybe would be a concern if you had to park on a narrow, unlit street every day... but I personally don't see much risk. I guess risk tolerance is an individual thing tho...

He's got no front plate may as go all in at this point lol

Don't forget the front window tint! :noyoudidnt:

not a huge fan of painted inserts - shave it or don't bother.

although i guess if you caught a VI it's a much easier quick fix

Shaving I don't think was an option for the Cayenne because the lens has built-in LED's and will trip a dash light if unplugged. By going with painted lenses (they have 19 coats of OEM paint to prevent light bleed) there are no warning lights and I kept the OEM amber lenses just in case. But yeah, shaving would probably be even more ideal for most cars.

I understand the safety point of view but I hate amber too, especially when its tacked on as an after thought "side marker" in the middle of the bumper. Though certain ambers look fine when they're built inside the headlamps... Here are my amber deletes

And amber delete on my prev car, swapped the headlamps to entire eurospec lamps
https://i.imgur.com/tOfOYyE.jpg

YESSSS, good man, all 3 looks so much better. Huge huge improvement on the Macan (sick ride btw... turbo?).

I also agree about the amber lenses being acceptable when they're built into the OEM headlight housing.... my NSX is the first car I've ever owned that I didn't go with painted or clear lenses for that reason. Wish more manufacturers would go that route and save us the headache.

Initially looked for a few shops that didn’t require disassembly but then they just cut with a knife into the grooves and it’s not properly installed (will release within a few years due to the edges releasing first). There is also a chance that they’ll knick the paint with the knife if not careful. Pricing wise they are also quite a bit cheaper (half the cost) of my guy.

My family has a place right close to VIMC, I make the trip often.. Tsawwassen to Duke Point is definitely closest, but the ferry is 30 minutes longer. Works great if you have a reso. If no reso, Victoria is much better as they are consistently more often, and I seem to find they have more no reso space
On each ferry. BUT if your going through Victoria during any traffic period on a Friday-Sunday, avoid like the plague. There is a science hah.

Coles notes:
Duke point if times line up and you have a reso.
Departure Bay to avoid Victoria traffic with reso
No reso, Victoria (avoid Friday afternoon for sure)

I had more fun at VIMC than I did a27. VIMC is tight and almost gave me motion sickness, but it’s fun for all power levels and flows quite nicely. After probably 1 session you’re comfortable on most corners and can start dialing the nuances.

A27 on the other hand even after 2 days I was struggling. One of the biggest issues is the track design and setup (braking zones etc) are clearly set up for high power high speed cars (well above the FBO RS) and the flow just didn’t feel intuitive. Still fun, but once you factor in cost, distance, hotel etc I’d rather do 3 VIMC days for 1 a27 day

What time do track sessions start at VIMC? Or does this vary by club to club?

Food for thought (I am being selfish here) PCA UCR and BMW CCA track sessions at CTMP open at 7am and you need to be in the tech inspection line no later than 8am. Miss the tech line? Come back tomorrow. They make exceptions but for all intents and purposes, they tell you to GTFO.

CTMP can be far as hell for a lot of people, or even those in the GTA have to leave their homes by 6am latest to be there on time. Hotels in surrounding areas get booked up super fast or you camp on site. Some clubs, you don't show up at the gate by 7:30am, they tell you to GTFO and that's it for your track weekend.

Coles notes: VIMC was approved for an xxx sized race track. So they spent $50m building the current track that’s only xx size. Then cowichan gets pushback from a tiny <but loud> minority who don’t want it there. And now say VIMC isn’t really allowed and not authorized to expand. VIMC sues cowichan because they wouldn’t have spent 50m building a tiny track unless they could also build the larger track (that they were previously authorized yes for).

It’s like 12 people who complain. Everyone else there loves the track. Those 12 ppl complain about the noise of the track which you can barely hear, yet the road outside is a 100kmh zone so trucks passing by are significantly louder. Fucking boomer karens

Based on what I've read from the news as well as from watching some of the public hearing, it was dubious that the initial zonings of some of the land parcels allowed for the construction of the current track. IMO, only some, but not all of the land parcels were zoned to allow for building the track, but City Hall approved the whole plot (which is made up from multiple differently zone land parcels) for track building.

The initial approval to build came from City Hall, and GAIN had lawyers verify that the approval was legit, so they went ahead and started building. From a legal stand point, GAIN is 100% in the right to build there cuz they had all the official approvals. And if certain level of the court determines that City Hall made a mistake in the first place, and that GAIN couldn't build the track there, GAIN had every right to sue and bankrupt the Cowichan City Hall for misleading them. And at one point, GAIN was threatening to do exactly just that.

I have stopped actively following the bickering between the neighbours (Sahtlam Neighbourhood Association), City Hall, and GAIN for some time now, but it seems to me that SNA is using every opportunity they can find to hinder further developments of the venue. Some of their accusations seem legit to me, while others are more bogus.

Tough owning a track for sure. Should be interesting to see how this pans out. I wonder if Area 27 has the same problems? (Probably?)

Le Circuit Mont Tremblant is situated in a resort town similar to Whistler and there are a row of residential homes that lead up to the entrance of the track. They are pretty strict about sound rules and had to cancel a few historic/vintage races because of the sound restrictions. Residents in and around the track want to have it shut down for good and I can't help but think why they moved there/built their homes there AFTER the track was built.

If any of you ever get a chance to drive Le Circuit, I highly recommend it. There are arrive and drive programs and that track is fantastic.

Sounds like the same BS that shut down the track in Vernon. iirc it could've stayed open, but the owner got sick of fighting with people.

Area 27 is pretty far from anything residential as far as I can tell, so they should be safe for a while. It seems like the only way to be sure is to build a track a long ways from anything and buy up any even vaguely residential property that comes up nearby.

Personally if I had the money I'd love to buy a vacation property right next to a track. Then I'd actually be able to go to a track day from time to time.

IIRC, A27 is sitting on indigenous land, and the track was co-developed with the tribe / band that owns the land. And because of that, there is far less red tape involved.

Generally speaking, local businesses close to a race track know and appreciate the benefits that the track brings to the community, but residents tend to be less supportive. In that regard, it is pretty rare that Mission Raceway enjoys the public support that it does. (But I keep thinking their City Council still wants to replace the whole thing with "waterfront properties" even though they no longer say that in their official city plans.)

Even if you take into the dealer to do warranty work / repairs, they will often take off the bumpers to access certain parts of the car.

I dont like it, but it beats the dude with razors knifing the grooves randomly.

Shi fu guy said it’ll last 5-7 years with zero damage to the paint underneath due to the “low tack” nature of this wrap. Like I said this material is thick. I’ll bring some to the meet and show you guys. Pretty sure you can just order this wrap and have somebody else install it for much cheaper. Or just do it yourself.

I have zero patience with anything so trying to carefully remove clips from bumpers and shit would drive me mental.

Badhobz
07-07-2022, 02:52 PM
He said this exactly.

5 years on areas with high wear and tear. It won’t peel off, but the leading edges might slowly unravel (this is why he needs to disassemble so he can protect the leading edges better and hide them in the bodywork). You can offset this wear by keeping the wrap clean and ceramic coated (included in his quotation)

After 7ish years the bigger areas might bubble or lose their tack if you park the car outside all the time. If you park it in a garage where its temperature controlled, it can last 10yrs. Even if it loses tack, you can try heating it up and seeing it lf it’ll stay or just rewrap that panel

Because this wrap doesnt use any glue, it’s considered a dry wrap. You don’t put it on a wet surface unlike 3m or Avery.

IÂ’m learning lots from this guy, but the proof is in the pudding I guess.

Does that mean you have to take the car this far apart again to remove it all in 5-7 years?

no, he'll just rip it off with some heat and force. he says it'll come off in 1 whole piece with little to no disassembly required.

Looks good. Honestly like the red better imo, but at least now you can have two paint colors

That’s just a great looking car though I’d say a standout in modern design

Im glad no squeaks or rattles inside the car. Reassembly looks perfect, the door and all the components seems like it was before with no detectable loss of structural rigidity.

Got this two years ago and this was the first time riding it due to the pandemic. While riding it though, I can't help but think that Cain is behind me or hiding around the corner waiting to nab me for the Termignoni exhaust.

So nice to be back on two wheels. Big thanks to double0seven for helping me out with the maintenance items.

i should have bought another monster. they're such great bikes. i knew the 748 was going to be rough - but i didn't think it would make me miss my monster so much.

next year - s2r800 i think. I love the early trellis bikes w SS swingers.

my old 620 - was a great city bike.

This applies to most classic Ducati up until about 2012/2013 or so when Audi bought Ducati SpA. The quality has improved a lot and the maintenance intervals are no longer as demanding as they used to be (you can stretch them out a lot more.)

I've owned my fair share of Italian nonsense to have come to learn and accept they have their quirks and sometimes, it can be a total piece of shit design/engineering and you can't help but wonder "WTF were they thinking?" :fulloffuck: But despite all the trouble, it brings a smile to your face. I miss every piece of Italian machinery I once owned, from Alfa Romeos to Vespas. There is a real charm about Italian crap.
