Hi Guys 

 i made my son a “slammed” little tikes cozy coupe. Theres some pics at the bottom that show you before and after. (Hopefully they arent too jumbled up, but you get the idea)

Just wondering what other parents have done to modify their kids toys? or wanted to do but haven’t done so yet?!

I delimited all the Nerf guns.

Bahahaha ! 

Fixed and modified for the neighbors kid this:

Max Force Toy Guns - Shadow Hawk 100, Maximizer 60 & Blowgun 35 Max Force Guns

Max Force Shadow Hawk 100 !

Replaced the two piece plastic barrel with an single piece aluminium one and rough spiral honed it internally to get a bit of spin on the projectile

Replaced the air sealing mechanism.

Replaced the air pump mechanism with a decent mountain bike pump with increase spring pressure.

Now fires out to around 200ft( Im sorry 60m) but not very accurately though !

And before you ask it fires water soaked paper "bullets" that splatter when they hit.

BLOODY COVID LOCK DOWN MADE ME DO IT !

      Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.

      Possible option to replace central computer 370 V36

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out

      Import insurance in 2025

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.

      It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!
