Any good for the price or straight trash? Federal 595RS-RR’s were my go-to budget tire but no longer available.
These X Comps seem to be the cheapest 200tw I could find for 19”. And for $135/each, mind you.

I’ve noticed that heel-toe downshifts are difficult unless I’m REALLY hard on the brakes. I know braking late is faster but sometimes I trail brake and I don’t need want full brakes.
Do fast drivers ever use throttle pedal spacers or do I just need to work more on technique?

I’ve usually just been avoiding the heel-toe because my pedal spacing. I’m usually going “brake-lift off brake/clutch/downshift- immediately braking again.” If downshifting more than once. But Sometimes it’s impossible to be smooth doing this, although probably not sacrificing a ton of time but it would be nice to get the technique dialed. Otherwise, I can just brake and then rev match for my single downshift when I’m done braking and it’s fine.

In contrary, my only worry would be under heavy braking the spacer would then place the throttle too high up.

I have an ongoing workers comp claim.. if I resign from my job, will I give up any future rights? I really need to get out of this hell hole.
To my understanding, treatment will continue to be covered, but I would lose workers comp benefits.

Would I also lose future compensation/award if Injury progresses or never fully heals leaving me with a life long disability and/or would prevent me from getting another job of equal pay?

6.5CM 16” barrel. I zeroed at 100 yards. Chronographed 10 rounds averaging 2441 fps with factory Hornady Precision Hunter 143gr ELDX.. I then calculated DOPE chart using Hornady app.

After this, I went out to 425 yards (+9.1MOA) and shots were on the money.

Brought it back in to 200 yards.. dialed back to +2.25MOA per Hornady app and shots were 2” high. I only shot 3 times at 200, 2 shots were 2” high and same place, and the one “flyer” correct elevation but 1” right. How does this work? I felt confident in the 2 shots that were 2” high.
Just wondering why the MOA adjustment is so far off at 200 but dialed at 425 using the same calculations.

Considering a carbon roof for my 2021 Subaru WRX STI in order to delete the sunroof and lower center of gravity. Will this help or hurt chassis rigidity?

Considering a carbon roof for my VA WRX STI in order to delete the sunroof. Will this help or hurt chassis rigidity?

Just curious what most people use

I know Rallycross isn’t stage rally but I figured this was the best place to ask..
What diff setting are you guys using?

My first rallycross and will probably only get 5 runs so I don’t want to be experimenting on every run.

What setting do most people use that are competitive in Rallycross?

Hi all.
I have a sedan and I’m looking to temporarily install PPF half way up on each of the doors. Are there any basic install tips I should know so it doesn’t look absolutely atrocious?

For context, I’m competing in a rallycross event in a couple weeks and I’m trying to protect my paint as much as possible. I’ve purchased mud flaps, but I’d also like to PPF the areas that are prone to flying debris.
Luckily, the course surface is just dirt, but I want to be prepared for a random rock here or there.. just in case.

It doesn’t have to be perfect as it’s only temporary, but I don’t want it to look like the installer was blind folded.. and not come off obvious.

In the videos I’ve watched, the installers appear to use water or some type of soap mixture. Is this necessary, and is it anything special or will just water or soapy water do the trick? Seems like soap/water would affect the adhesion but apparently not.

Any tips are appreciated. Thx

Hello. I’ve had an ongoing right shoulder injury that resulted in overuse in my left shoulder from compensating.

My left shoulder now gets fatigued easily, but more concerning to me is the last few weeks I’ve also been experiencing some subtle intermittent tingles in my fingers/hand.
It started about 3 weeks ago after a PT session. I pushed a little too hard and then started the tingles intermittently, yet almost every day(usually afternoon) I got slight tingles at some point in my fingers/hand. Once it starts, it usually lasts until i fall asleep. This has been happening for about 2 weeks, then I got a decent 3-4 day break without tingles.

But two days ago I had PT assessment which forced me to give max effort, and unfortunately this triggered the tingles again a couple hours after my appointment.

I’m really worried I have a damaged nerve and I don’t want to be stuck this way forever. I’d rather deal with pain than numbness or tingles and I’m really scared/worried.
No MRI has been ordered so we don’t even have a clue what’s going on with it.

My doctor (old timer) said we can do a nerve test to be safe, but he doesn’t suspect anything major. But this is really concerning me.
Also the neurological location I called is booked 10 months out, so I’m currently trying to find an alternative.

I’m willing to try massages or chiropractor but im also scared of making something worse without a diagnosis.
Acupuncture causes me tinnitus so I can’t do that.

Anybody have a remedy for relief?

Do people generally recover from symptoms im experiencing?

Thank you so much

This is my biggest concern as I’m currently in a depressed state (from having two chronic shoulder injuries) and also moderate anxiety. I really can’t afford to make my mental health any worse.

I already have such a hard time finding joy or socializing, I don’t want to push myself over the edge. Especially if the mental effects can be permanent like some have mentioned.
The vision thing is another big deal because I struggle with that as well.
I wish we knew a risk percentage. I don’t know what to trust. How many people have great results and don’t report back? How many if the great reviews are real, and how much bad stuff doesn’t get reported? We are just in the dark and that doesn’t help ease my mind.
Ugh… I just want to help myself get better but I’m truly scared that if I make ANYthing worse regarding my mental health or vision, I’ll never forgive myself and I might get pushed over the edge mentally.

Strongly considering BPC/TB500 to help with chronic shoulder injury.

Seems like all the side effects I see happen randomly and sudden after XX days/weeks without warning… I’m very scared of this, but if I just took the stuff once a week would I get any small benefits without being at as much risk for sides? I want to help myself get better but I’m scared of fully committing.

I’d take even the most minor benefits if that means less risk of sides. I just want to get better.

I was walking through the airport and this guy had a gold rope chain, probably 3mm tucked in his shirt and you could only see the part high around the neck. This was in a somewhat low light area, and the chain had so much reflection and shine that I actually thought it was diamonds at first before i got a closer look and realized it was gold.

I’ve been deciding on buying a chain so I’ve been noticing a lot of what people wear. I seen probably a dozen other rope chains in the airport and seriously none of them shined like this one.

What made this one shine so much more? I really liked it!

Was it just a real solid chain and the others were possibly fake, plated or had less gold content? Special cut?

Looking to purchase a chronograph so I can accurately calculate DOPE charts. Is there true value in spending $500 on a Garmin or similar? I’m wondering if I can get accurate results with the $100-$200 options.
6.5 Creedmoor shooting factory Hornady if that makes any difference.

My guess is probably use it 1-3 times and then not use it much again. I don’t plan to change load anytime soon. I mostly shoot at sea level, and once every 3 years I shoot at 5000 feet so I’ll probably use it when I go there to confirm velocity. Once I have my numbers at each elevation and both of my rifles it probably won’t get used much until I shoot a different load but I don’t for-see that really happening.

Thank you
