gmsgltr Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 mobile detailer? i took off my TPS the other day and found my old one... gotta test them and see if that is why my throttle is fucked (Aaron told me years ago that when i was WOT on logs that it was only reading 70-80% and why i thought it felt so slow also hate the play in the gas pedal and TB arm and I think that is the slight 'stick' I feel when I disengage and re-engage the accelerator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just chalked it up to barely driving the car. Maybe the tb assembly needs oiling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as TPS issue goes. Clean it up using contact cleaner, but make sure to adjust your throttle cable at the nut (assuming its a -98). Which throttle body do you have? 70-80% is correct with the wedge lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. The stock wheels are not great, but I think they can pass as OKAY when the car is lowered. I'm gonna swap the wheels eventually but I'm undecided about what to get. I have my Rotiform TMB wheels in the garage, but I'd need to change to a larger tire size, and I'm not sold on how they look on MK7. I've only found one pic online: I also like the golf R wheels (though they are 19") and neuspeed RSE10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappo Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Painted the rear quarter window trim. It was peeling up showing the bare aluminum. Washed the car as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobT5M Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Dropped it off for ceramic window tint. :3 Realized ill probably have the s70 for a few more years so next step is tint. Apparently my Fishbowl has had tint on it and its just gone clear now O.o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobT5M Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 20% front. 15% back, Ceramic Plus. Definitely felt different driving a tinted car for once since none of mine are. Now I need to clear up the yellowing ABS plastics. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappo Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Replaced the coolant reservoir cap. Car has been down for days waiting on one as it was puking out coolant with either one of the two I had in stock. Back on the road. I have missed the A/C.

caanglin Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Got the HRE 535's on. Need to drive it and get the suspension to settle. Also need to go beat on it since I have a track day on the 12th. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobT5M Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Did rear brakes on the 2018 S60. Was worried about the electronic parking break, but man once I got in there it was so much easier than so many people made it sound. Saved about $300-$500 O.o 2x T30 2x 15 and 14mm 1x T40 And thats that. lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks bud I really appreciate it, but honestly I prefer things like Limewire or TPB. ❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
