South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Lol yep that's me. We checked out the Musterground/Lake Jocassee area in prep for a group ride up there in a few weeks.

 

I remember you haha. That guy was going 20mph under the speed limit.. nobody has time for that crap.

 

I know what you mean. I have to drive 183 every day on my commute. Never fails I always get stuck behind someone like that!

 

Yea there’s a few FSRs up there. I was wandering around the ion swamp one off 17 up in awendaw last week while I had a few min to kill on the way home from McClellanville. There were some pretty narrow and grown up off shoot trails that I didn’t venture down solo.

 

This is what venturing some of those trails will get you.

 

Bring TP!

 

yea that red clay makes it a bitch.

 

Been hearing a clicking noise on take off and braking recently on the GX. Whatever you do, DON'T use Moog lower control arms. These lasted about 1.5 years before the bushings starting going. Luckily I kept the OEMs. Gonna rebuild with Whiteline bushings and Sankei 555 ball joints.

Then the gf this morning couldn't start her 2013 CT200h. Classic signs of a dead battery. Sticking the battery tender on it overnight. But I'm pretty sure it's the original battery which would be an amazing lifespan. Unfortunately, it's an AGM battery and it's about $200. Also pretty sure a wheel bearing needs replacing. It's also about $200 but it's the whole assembly and you just unbolt the old one.

 

its about time for me to start replacing bushings in my 100 too. there's random clunks and thunks after braking sometimes. also the tensioner pulley is pretty squeaky and loud. I got a replacement but apparently either the one currently on the car isn't OEM or there's multiple pulleys that can go on these for some reason. and I was lazy and tried to do everything from the top without removing anything and it made it a pain in the ass whenever the belt inevitably came off the lower pulleys.

When I got the 100 the wheel bearings were starting to go so I had them replaced with OEM. turns out they had just been replaced with non OEM ones not even 10k miles ago. these seem to likeOEM stuff way better than aftermarket.

 

be glad it’s a battery and not a headgasket

 

I need to replace my LCA and trailing arm bushing as well. Should I buy a press or pay somebody is the question.

 

Buy the aftermarket ones with the heim joints . That's what I'm doing. Mine need to be replaced anyways and with these you get better adjustment and they hold up a whole lot better

 

From my research, that tends to happen in colder climates where the car isn't ever driven long distances. The EGR system gets clogged.

 

Any experience with a smallish dash cam that's inexpensive and the app isn't garbage? I need a basic cam for the Miata. I have an older Blackvue but no wifi on that one. I have a Viofo on the GX and the camera is fine, the app is just ok. I've been looking at the Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 but people are complaining about the app.

 

I've got the original Dash Cam Mini and it's always worked fine for me. Never had a problem with the app either but I've only gone in to download clips a few times.

 

Thank you for the feedback! I just discovered the VIOFO A119 Mini. So I will compare the two.

 

No I haven't searched. No I don't like venturing in to those other forums.

Co-worker has a 2013 PreRunner V6 TRDOR, want's a leveling kit. I've been out of the Taco game too long. What's recommended and how many inches? Just gonna do the strut spacers.
