slapped the all-seasons back onto both cars...
half way through 1 car, the mcgard lock nut broke. the actual teeth that latch onto the lug sheared right off.
i contacted Mcgard...they are sending me a replacement set. never had this happen in well over 25 years of vehicle ownership.
i dont think i'm gonna bother with wheel locks anymore... want my wheels? take them... tires are low tread anyways./  | |

Happens all the time. Unfortunately doesn’t seem to matter if it’s impact guns, breaker bars etc. Sometimes they just break

Completely redid the rear bench. I had stabbed it with a scalpel just as I finished it. I took it all apart to replace the boxing which I stabbed but wasn’t sure the seam would take more needle holes without comprimising it’s integrity (it gets the most use). So I completely redid it. 
And the front bench. This one has some complex curves, and the old foam was pretty bent out of shape. Completely made with my own pattern. The old vinyl couldn’t be used as it was so stretched out of shape. These 4 pieces probably took me 5/6 full days. No wonder upholstery work is so expensive.

What glue did you use bud? JB weld?
Same thing happened and I don't want it to happen again, wondering what's the strongest adhesive for the window track

Sitrep: Tried to fix the stereo on Sandra the Subaru (my $400 legacy) and the dome light drained the battery. Going to install a $75 double din that is 18% of the value of my vehicle

Camping, rallycross etc all that fun stuff is cancelled. So I swapped back in the street coilovers. Still waiting for my massive carbon wing to come in. Will need to fabricate a splitter and more aggressive rear diffuser  Generated from my Apple iPhone using tools.sportscard.trade | |

Mod scene is just like Richmond in the 2000s. A lot of people are willing to pay to soup up the car with expensive parts. Again, it is rare to see someone to work on or DIY their own car(s)

Rolled the red beetle out of the shop to take a look in the sunlight. The list of changes over the last month is pretty significant!   | |

Adjusted the coilovers for the thousandth time. Still lower than I want but if I raise it up (via preload) I get coil binding. So I had to lower it to gain travel, yeah weird I know. I also got the interior fully cleaned and baby seat installed as well as the classic baby on board sign.
The last thing I did today was a little plastidipping. I removed the rear diffuser a long while ago as all it did was trap mud/rocks/snow etc and act as a parachute. Always hated though how it looked like I was missing a panel. Decided to dip the hidden area so if I put the diffuser back on, no problem looks OEM, but if I leave it off it looks oem from 5 feet away.

^^^ Sounds like you need longer springs. You know, more money to spend :P
Red beetle continues to progress. Engine build is getting closer, and I'm pretty stoked on my front mount oil cooler setup. Waiting for my Vibrant Performance order to finish things off on both. This weekend will be spent modifying the engine bay to make future engine work significantly easier. I've been avoiding it for a few weeks.    
...also wishing my Pro-Bolt order would come in so I can replace the oil cooler mounting hardware.

Nothing as exciting as CCA-Dave, but I got a new set of Federal Evoluzion ST-1 tires for the Boxster. They feel like the Micheline Pilot Super Sports I had on my previous 996, and these are easy on the wallet compared to Michelins. So far, so good. Would recommend these tires to anyone who wants a good summer UHP tire and for light track or autocross duty. It rained today and they were pretty good when roads are wet, and good stopping power too. Very comfortable much like the MPSS. I don't recommend these for the winter whatsoever.

My eBay Wastegate seized up on me. Still too cheap to spend $600 on a wastegate, I found the only one for sale in the area (with shipping being a disaster these days I had to stay local). Legitimate TiAL MVR 44. Lovely purple colour covered up by someone’s attempt at painting it black.
I stripped it and now looks much more “period” correct for the Z.  
Lost about 90% of the laser etching on the top, so all resale is probably gone. But I don’t plan on selling it so it doesn’t matter. Lol.

I had a set of beautiful 3 piece billet HRE 841R’s I rebuild a few years ago and sold. The last owner got rid of his focus and I had a chance to get them back for a great price. A little paint chipping and stuff from storage and use, but not bad. Still even has the pilot super sports in the same condition I sold em.
19x8.5 et42. I Originally refinished them gloss black lips with satin black centre’s. Right now they have 2” lips. Wouldn’t mind getting 2.5” lips and getting them properly powdercoated but am unsure what colour scheme to go. Suggestions?

I'm not a fan of PC'ing wheels. Impossible to repair, without stripping the coating (which is a PITA).

| I could sound stupid to ask. I thought 3 pc wheels have screws all around the rim. And is it easy to ask for a bigger lip from HRE and assemble/swap by yourself?  | |

Multiple ways of joining these wheels. I’m the one who originally split and refinished them (it’s a hobby). And yes these are standard 19” 40 hole reverse lips (North American style. NA/JDM/euro have slightly different sizing for reverse lip)
These wheels are a non-sandwhich face mounting. When centre’s have threaded holes that the m8 rim screws mount through the rear
