I’ve done several 72 hour fasts and they work wonders for me. I almost hate to break the fast and the clarity that it brings for me. I know it doesn’t have the same affects on others but I do feel great when I do it.

Are you rolling down the windows to dump the 120+ interior air out of the vehicle for the first few blocks of driving? I actually picked up this habit due to owning a couple Hondas as I’ve always felt their AC was a weak spot.

The T handle shut off tool for the water meter for your water service is what we call a “street key” on the fire department. I have used it literally hundreds of times on the job especially when it warmed up after a long hard freeze. I have mine mounted in the wall right beside my garage door...

Looks mean nothing other than obvious damage. Miles and time are important and should be followed per the manufacturer. Timing belts are cheaper than engines.

The VW app for my GTI and Tiguan shows idle time as anything under two mph. My morning trip to get coffee this morning shows ten percent idle time for the trip and the drive thru was not that busy.

I’ve seen rumblings of VW bringing the regular Golf back to the US once manufacturing moves to Pueblo Mexico in 2027. Final decisions of course may depend upon the haphazard tariffs changing from day to day.

Here is my solution for IVD. MPI installed on the GTI was finished up today and software tune to make all all work right. The four new port injectors are stuffed underneath the new green fuel rail. Upgraded low pressure fuel pump in the tank, upgraded turbo and running the wires to pin into the...

My son installed MPI on the GTI yesterday and is wrapping up the odds and ends. Neon green fuel rail, injectors, and tons of wiring and pinning wires to the ECU and power tap in the fuse box. He ordered a new MPI intake instead of drilling the holes into the existing one. While the intake was...

Google searches are often suspect in that they often sell the top few search results to third party retailers and mislead consumers. For example let’s say someone has Xfinity internet and TV and has a service issue. If they quickly google xfinity for the number to call the top search result may...

Finished up the big turbo install and low pressure fuel pump upgrade and began gathering parts to add MPI to the GTI. This thing will be spicy after the tune is customized to the specific parts that have been added.

HTHS of >3.5 and NOACK below <8 basically a very good euro oil as I have mostly VW at the moment but would run the same in anything I would and have owned.

There is a scald protection mechanism on the front of single handle shower valves. It will look like a small circle with teeth on the back of it that meshes with teeth on the valve stem. By taking the handle off you can slide it off slightly and in most cases rotate it counter-clockwise so the...

Just what we need. One more step towards monopolies.

Is this bent up and out of what looks like a groove it was in?

I felt the block heater on my 80’s F250 diesel was essential for anything under -10 F. It definitely helped to start easier and the engine didn’t sound like 8 ball pen hammers on an anvil for five minutes and helped to save extra wear and tear on the batteries and starter
