Mod post We Are So (mostly) Back!

5 Upvotes

Hi! I'm Metaphys, and I guess I'm a mod now. IRL I tinker with stuff, fix restaurant equipment, and keep my aging Swedish brick with high sentimental value running even if it doesn't make the best financial sense. Sometimes I point a camera at stuff and yap.

I'm new to Reddit moderation, but not moderation in general. There's a learning curve for sure and some adjustments to make but for the most part this sub will function as before (but hopefully with less spam).

I'll try to be as hands off as possible otherwise. I'm nice unless given a compelling reason to not be nice, if you catch my drift. I do in fact have other duties besides scrolling Reddit all day, so if I don't respond quickly, I'm probably out touching grass...or would that be touching grease? Seriously, I've been in CV axle hell for the past day.

Alright that's it! Happy wrenching everyone!

First picture is a quick AI concept showing the red front lip trim and the lower side decals, and the second picture is how the car sits right now.

Modification Welp here goes nothing!

A few days back I posted about some brand new Maxpeedingrod T6 coilovers that I got from my best friend for free (minus building him a gaming computer.

Welp, they are on the car, and they aren’t horrible!

No extremely loud noises, the ride really really good, like better than my stock suspension!

The only time I think they made a very unpleasant noise is when I did 35 mph over some of the worst tracks in my town.

Anyways, I have an alignment scheduled for Thursday, then I’m doing a 4 and and half hour drive with them, which that drive is 70% twisties through the Appalachian’s.

People have to remember that this company makes different types of coilovers, just like all other companies. These are not their $195 junk ones, these ones costed me $428.

Mod advice Does anyone have any info on this thing?

I found this oddity on CNC INNOVATION's website. However, I have seen no one, not one single soul, who has used it and reported their findings online. I couldn't even find any info on the CNC INNOVATIONS youtube page. I am yearning for just a shred of information on this product. How well does it work? What impact does it have on performance? Can it work with a turbo? I just wanna hear from someone who has some answers. Here it the link, there are a few varieties (like ones for the GTE and VVTI engines) but this is the first one I found. https://www.cncinnovationsmy.com/product-page/toyota-2jz-ge-to-rb26-itb-adapter-set

Suggestion Needed 2018 model

1 Upvotes

I have a 2018 model Tucson, and the tail light broke last week and went for the service centre to have Estimate.l, but the parts are very costly.

Anyone upgraded to any LED or off market tail light as I was hoping if I am giving that much money, I should go for some LED options or any off market one's.

I'm looking to upgrade or replace my throttle body. I've done some work to the intake and I feel that the throttle still isn't as responsive as I would like. Does anybody have an suggestion on getting a new throttle body that would fit or a new OEM body.

Replacement for center console roll cover...... Again

2 Upvotes

That's right, it's the ripped roll cover of the center console on the 2nd gen pilot . From what I hear it's a common issue The real bummer is that the one that just ripped was the replacemt I bought for the ripped one it came with. I searched high and low and finally found the roll cover only and not the whole assembly, but it was still hella pricey ($110) and it just broke. I've seen a shop on etaty that was making 3d replacements that got amazing reviews but they've been in break forever. Has anyone found a affordable solution/fix for this? It doesn't have to be perfect, I'd jus like it to be functional and not look like total garbage.

What sub $500 upgrades have you added to your Maverick that you love?

0 Upvotes

I have a 23 XLT EB AWD FX4 4K tow. I just learned in another post that I can add adaptive cruise for about $100 with a little forscan tampering. Now it's got me thinking what else is possible without spending an arm and a leg? Also wondering which types of mods won't void the basic warranty as I'm at 3 years and almost 50k.

Mod advice Exhaust mods?

2 Upvotes

I'm a first time car owner and I have a 2020 Kia Optima lx/s. I know it may sound tacky to mod a car like that but I was wondering if there are any exhaust modifications that would sound nice with my car? Not obnoxious or anything like a straight pipe, but something to just give it a nice sound. I'm very new to this lol.

Mod advice Best way to seal this tape gap?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi,

I just installed a front lip in my car but the fitment was not perfect and had to leave this gap when i bolted the lip.

I want to keep this gap from water and prevent the rest of the tape from falling any further.

I was thinking of:

  1. Sealing the gap with a caulk.

  2. 3m tape and stick it on top of the gap so water doesnt go in.

  3. Super glue?

What yall think my best option is here? Thanks in advance.
