You sure you're talking about Facebook and not this forum?

It's 10000x worse on Facebook. On every car group I am in. Whether it be for my S2000, Mini or G.

Hundreds of posts of people asking idiotic questions or what oil to use in their car, multiple times a day. If you think its bad on here you haven't seen anything lol.



Here's one I just found after 2 seconds of scrolling.

Test run with the new little jack. Super easy to move around, effortless fitment on a lowered car, takes up much less space, and works perfectly. If I were to complain about anything at all, it's that this new jack requires just a little more effort on the handle than the old one. I don't know what the old one was rated at, but it lifted the car as if it weighed nothing at all.

Anyway, it's a keeper. Some Sunday Scrapper will probably pick up the old one at the end of the driveway.

I ditched facebook in 2012 for work reasons, and haven't looked back. I'm not sold on the fact that there is more knowledge available through that platform; I admit there may be more information, but so much of it is noise that the signal is lost.

Of car note, it is a nice weekend and my girls are out of town, so I might actually get some stuff done. I've got a box of repairs/mods waiting for time and weather.

Does anyone have a photo handy of the front of a 2010+ G37 sedan with the bumper on, but front grill removed? I'd like to send it to a custom autobody shop, to help them work on a project.

I've had the grill out countless times, but never bothered to snap a pic. And I won't be back home to take a pic myself for a while.

Any help is much appreciated, thanks

There is 1" of ice on my garage floor. Old garage which normally would do alright, but when the temp changes 76 degrees in 3 days, into rain, into freezing again... not much you can do. I hate winter, it's really impossible to get anything done in this situation.

It’s winters like this that really make me miss my 978sqft heated garage.

Random question but does anyone know the dimensions of the AKEBONO lettering on the big brakes? I am planning on using my plotter to make a mask rather than buying decals.

I used to travel to Tacoma on a fairly regular basis for work. I always had fun exploring the logging roads in the Cascades in the rented Mazda 3. Beautiful place, the PNW.

Considering they're in Dubai and you're on the east coast, shipping might prove to be pricey. They do have contact info under contact us. Maybe reach out to see if they have a stateside distributor¿?

Sometimes shipping from the Middle East is cheaper than one would think. They are a gross consumer, so empty shipping containers and ULDs. Only cost me $72 to ship a full array of skids from Israel a couple years ago.

Go direct est you may be surprised. If it’s still too much. Start asking your navy friends if they know someone there.
