Thanks, folks. Based on what I'm reading and hearing so far, definitely gravitating toward the UniFi stuff. I'm not an expert but I know more than the average person and I'll happily learn more if necessary for the right product. Isn't Ubiquiti basically Apple Wi-Fi alumni in their own company?

I want the Wi-Fi router equivalent of a Toyota Hilux. Something I can set up once and never have to touch it again for like 10 years – no mysterious Wi-Fi drops, no needing to reboot it, etc. – even if it's subject to more than normal heat, dust, etc. Happy to consider commercial/industrial...

Halogens have a bit less glare and cause a bit less eye strain, at a slight expense to raw illumination. I ended up preferring that balance.

Different category. The DWS 06 Plus is much more performance-oriented than these.

Ah, okay. Got it. Makes sense, then.

Have you tried the Michelin Pilot Alpin series? I was a hair's breadth from doing as you described with our M3, for similar reasons, and the Pilot Alpin PA5 kept me in the winter tire camp.

That statement was referring to the 2Stroke 4.0, which just came out. I’m selling these because I went back to halogen.

Used, working perfectly as of when they were pulled. Fit H11, H9, and H8 applications. Until a few weeks ago, these were the most advanced, best performing LED replacement bulbs on the market. Not just high output, but better than even other high-end LED bulbs at replicating the correct beam...

Follow-up to this as the edit window has closed. The Cal-Van 66 has 8 settings for different brake fluids: generic settings for DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5.1, plus individual settings for 5 specific DOT 3 fluids. I tried all the settings in the unused SRF and they all showed 0%. Only used the...

With respect.... The main question was whether there were risks to opened brake fluid other than moisture lowering the boiling point. @ctechbob answered that. No one else even tried. The unsealed-but-capped bottle of unused Castrol SRF I have right now was opened ~7 months ago. I just stuck...

....Huh? I mean, I'm sure I have done that in the past, but IDK what you're referring to. 😬

To be fair, it can be hard to convey/read tone on the Internet, and you weren't the first to question him in this thread. If I were in his shoes – if I had posted thoughtful commentary based on real expertise, and a bunch of people respond by trying to find flaws in what I had said – I can't...

This seems so weird to me given that Continental is, by any reasonable measure, a tier-1 company in this space. ...And also not weird at all given that this particular tire is significantly less expensive than the equivalent Michelin.

Thanks, all. Decided to go the space saver route. (y)

Family member just went from Pilot Sport All Season 4 to DWS 06 Plus. Similar experience to others' here: less NVH, squidgier/number/vaguer handling with the Contis; differences are noticeable but not earth shattering. Michelins tend to be shockingly good at retaining their performance as they...

My M3 doesn't come with a spare tire. I'm considering buying a full-size spare for the occasional road trip. I want it to 1. Be usable in a variety of conditions (including snow), and 2. Last as long as possible in storage (100% indoors). Literally nothing else about the tire matters...

I can think of 2 occasions on which I've emailed them to point out that my returns had been delivered to them but not yet processed (it had been a few days). Both times, the credits hit my account like a day later. FWIW.

AFAIK, in terms of test requirements, LL-01FE is literally LL-01 plus fuel economy testing. That doesn't mean any given LL-01FE oil will have identical wear resistance to any given LL-01 oil; maybe the FE one just barely meets the requirements while the LL-01 beats them substantially. But the...

Family member has an R32 Skyline with a GT-R powertrain. The "what oil?" conversation lasted about as long as it took to find Motul 300V on FCP Euro. We love the hilarious overkill of running a modern race-ready full-syn in an engine that originally called for a conventional 7.5W-30 from 25+...

Yep. And presumably the oil you buy in the store could also get more expensive tomorrow, right? So either way you’re subject to the chance (certainty in the long run) of prices going up.
