I've got a (tastefully) modified car I'm thinking of selling. Just don't drive it enough to justify insurance, garage space, etc. It has a few relatively pricey modifications (exhaust, intake, etc.). I still have the OEM parts and would prefer to return it to near-OEM status before selling it. It will take me ages myself, but a shop with a lift could do it pretty quickly, so I'm willing to spend a bit of money to just get it done.

Looking for somewhere in the nova area that wouldn't break a sweat doing this.

I'm using a kettle machine. I usually do 1/4 cup EVOO or in rare cases coconut oil to a cup of kernels. On the rare occasion I've hit the jackpot with quality it's just been with small containers of Orville, but that's gotten so expensive. I do let the oil preheat a bit.

I can't consistently get fluffy, big kernels. I've tried a lot of different products including Amish Country and seem to usually get the same result: some big kernels, but a lot of dense, crappy half popped kernels with tons of flaking shells. My dog likes them but I hate them.

Am I obviously doing something wrong?

I have a hilarious issue with the Novas, which is that my head is very deep, so the microphone simply cannot make it to the front of my mouth unless I wear the headset a little in front of my ears.

Does anyone else have a deep head or know how long the mic is from the Maxwell's left earphone? The Nova's seems to be ~5 inches, and I think I need 6 or so.

r/GoogleFi•

I just had to replace my Pixel 7 Pro. I set it up without issues, logged back in, etc. etc. I really enjoy using messages.google.com and have been for years. I had syncing between the Messages app on the phone and the browser working just fine for a few years.

However, since transferring to the new phone, it's had to re-sync and is now on Day 4 of doing this. There's quite a few messages (~150k) and incoming messages are not being synced between the browser and the phone.

Is this expected? I've done this before and it didn't take anywhere near this long. 24 hours at most before syncing was working.

Getting sputtering when stopped, idle, after installing the recommended NGK plugs for tuning (LKR9Q7G). Engine runs fine when it's moving, no misfires or anything, seemingly full power but the sputtering is bad enough that it feels like it's going to stall.

Anyone experienced this? I saw some recommendations for other car makes that involved leaving the engine running and pulling the coil packs one at a time.

DC/DMV area shops

Maintenance & Repair

Did a quick search and didn't see any good results, so thought I'd ask as Google hasn't helped much - looking to find a DC metro area shop that's brand independent for progressively upgrading my N, or even a reliable individual. Would be starting with intake, exhaust, etc.

Hey all - excited to join the fam. Saw a lot of the "I'm new and want tuning advice" threads were at least a year old so thought I'd start my own. (some of the youtube videos I found were clearly labeled "old info")

A lot of what I saw from searching around here and Youtube basically coalesced around a few things:

  • SXTH ECU + new plugs (though some debate on the plugs)
  • Powerflex bushings
  • SXTH intake
  • Lower/rear engine mount (unclear if this is duplicative with bushings)
  • Oil catch can

Does this sound right? I just want to sound better, go faster, and mitigate wheel hop. I'm street/road only for now.

I don't have much room to do these myself so I'd be farming this out to a shop

I have a rather large frame. "Racing style" seats have historically pinched my rib cage to the point of discomfort.

It doesn't look like the new M2 offers a "regular" seat option. None of the dealers near me actually stock Ms of any kind, and every review seems to feature the Merino Leather seats with the carbon fiber and cutouts for a harness, which I would not opt for.

Curious if any other larger people have any experience with these seats
