Thanks for all the positive comments. I am really hoping for “best practices “ to blend the paint.

I have tried but Lexus does not have a specific code for the wheels that I can find.

Not sure why. Probably less than a gram of material.

Like the title says. So here is the story so far. Damaged the wheel on a concrete catch basin avoiding a bicyclist. Getting it repaired professionally would be about $250. Decided to try it on my own figuring I could still get it professionally repaired if not happy. Here is what I’ve done so...

On my ‘21 MB GLC 300 it connects quickly but I can toggle between CarPlay and native infotainment on the touchscreen. No issues.

Here is a link to the one I purchased. Does not run hot (warm). Comes with usb b plug and usb c adapter. Has worked flawlessly for just over a year. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F6NGCQ8X?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2

Please clarify. Does your car have wired CarPlay already?

Not sure what you are looking for. If you just want to convert your wired CarPlay system to wireless then just about all of them work well. They seem to be in the $40 range. Purchased this for my wife’s Mercedes which had wired CarPlay and now it’s wireless. Works great! In my Lexus I...

Not saying a piston soak wouldn’t be a good idea, but Valvoline RnP should have 4 complete oil changes before evaluating the results. Could also try Yamalube in the gas (see previous posts as I have never needed it). Best of luck, I love my GS.

Just looked up CR. Seems some of the ratings on new EV vehicles has changed. This is for 2026 models. Remarkable how many show up as 50 or so out of 100 in reliability. Tesla model y was the best.

Beautiful work. Can you explain your system? I thought I quoted your speaker fabrication.

I really enjoy my vinyl, but cannot contemplate spending that much for an album. I suspect they sound awesome!

Early attempt at improving the dynamic range of LPs. DBX encoded records. Lowers the noise floor and raises peak output. Unfortunately, the only one I have! It really works well although it requires a bit of adjustment to each record depending upon the recording. Over do it results in a...

Despite being 40 or so years old, the amp and preamp work great! The sound is still amazing. I did have to use Deoxit on some of the controls of the preamp. I have not looked at the capacitors. Prefer to let sleeping dogs lie.

Yes. Musical Concepts modified DH 220. Old picture. Preamp is no longer on top of the amp.
