This is our neighbor's house across the street, built by the same builder but 2 years newer. Her water heater was replaced by Polestar Plumbing and HVAC, and they left...whatever this is.
I'm not sure what's going on with plumbers around here but we had a similar issue that somehow passed inspection...
Photos are after only 5,000 miles, all street, no track.
I've been a Stoptech user for years. Now that Centric is going out of business I decided to try the ECS EP24 "Enthusiast" pads. Followed the same bed in procedure I always have - repeated hard stops from 60 to 10, cool brakes, repeat.
These cannot handle significant heat. The front pads basically disintegrated and wore out extremely quickly. The rear pads stayed together but wore heavily too. I am not impressed for something that is marketed as a spirited street and occasional track pad.
I will not be buying these again. The Powerstop Z23 hybrid ceramic pads I put on my wife's minivan can handle more heat than these.
Heard a couple things I wanted to ask the Big Orange guys, if anyone was involved or knows people who were. Any truth to this?
Supposedly a signal maintainer was sitting at Crossport ID waiting for the train, when he heard the emergency call from the crew - they'd hit a rock slide, were in the river, and were trapped in the cab filling with water. No road access in the canyon so he took off down the tracks, passing signals at danger, and reached the wreck in time to help the crew get to safety.
Word is BNSF tried to fire him for disregarding the signals even though the crew of 4347 would have drowned if he hadn't.
The agency has received millions in grant money for traffic safety, and has been telling their troopers to make as many DUI arrests as possible, including sober drivers
2012 GTI with the OEM bixenon headlights; the mounts for the right side are broken and the control module has gone bad for the second time, so instead of spending $700+ on a new housing I'm strongly considering downgrading to aftermarket projectors with LEDs.
If you have aftermarket headlights on your car post a picture and a link, and how much you like them.
