Thanks. Will look into this. So if I need more ethernet ports for hardwiring some stuff, i can just use that single LAN port and connect it to a switch?

$150

Thanks for all the comments, guys. When my BMW got totaled (rear-ended while sitting at a red light) I had some insurance money from it so it really only cost me $3000 but the price was 11k total for this car. One owner, well-maintained with records (owner is a 90's Japanese car enthusiast, and...

All stock. 123k miles. More pics will be added soon.

Thanks again for all the input. Trying to do some research and came across this router: seems to have very good reviews and features.... some of which I will never need/use but sort of future proofing, I guess? Never heard of this brand before, BTW. The flint 2...

Thanks for ALL the replies. Excellent info. I will probably upgrade, but very confused why the speed DROPPED compared to before. I understand now (after reading an excellent reply above) that the router cannot do more than 500 Mbps over wifi BUT how did it do 500-550 BEFORE the new modem (even...

So I upgraded from Spectrum 500Mbps service plan to 1GB service. Set up the new modem today. WIRED (laptop connected direct to modem via ethernet cable) the speeds measure around 905 Mbps. Fine. Upload 40 Mbps. Fine, However, WIFI speeds are wonky. Measured with laptop and iphone 12 Ookla app...

Acquired a mint-ish 1999 SC400 a few months ago with 122k miles. All stock. Has the heated seats option :) Will be a garage queen, only change planned is some less blingy 17" early IS300 wheels. (Will store the chrome wheels)

Sorry guys - been out of town and dealing with a maddening work schedule. Waiting for the 3/8 breaker bar to arrive from amazon, and gather a few more tools before re-attempt. HOPE to try it this weekend and update. Keep rooting for me and the filter housing cap. That's so kind of you guys.

Yeah I should just prob get a new one.... Debating if I REALLY need a drill or just a cordless screwdriver....

Good point - I also thought it felt silly and bouncy with the rubber mallet - will use a proper hammer and update after my next attempt. Thanks, Trav

Thanks for the many answers,... Sounds like I should leave them alone and get a new drill....

It's a Hitachi cordless drill and neither battery would recharge. No charging indicator on the in-wall charger. They have been sitting unused for a while. I have seen videos of people charging a dead battery with ANOTHER working battery but in my case BOTH are dead and won't recharge... Can I...

Well it's been only 900 miles but several months - I do have the correct oil in it now because I was able to change the oil out. And I really can't PROVE that they were the ones who did it although I know they did. I might take it to them (if i can't get it off) when it's time for regular OC...
