Seoul custom shirtmakers
Can anyone recommend any quality shirtmakers in Seoul? I've heard they exist, but I don't recall any names being mentioned. I'm familiar with the tailoring outfits in Hong Kong where the majority exist just to fleece tourists and the quality tailors must be sought out, and I'm looking to avoid...- dah328

With the cams, gearing, and tuning, they drive a lot better than a regular E46 330i/is. Certainly they are no M3 nor worth anywhere near as much. They are a great value when you find a seller (as I did) who does not know what a ZHP is and who lists it as a regular 330i.- dah328

I have over 200k miles on my ZHP and it's fine and nearly the perfect choice for a DD given its fun factor and low TCO. It's pretty rare for VANOS to just "go out." What does happen on all the M5x motors is that the crappy oil seals in the VANOS unit degrade so that it becomes less and less...- dah328

I think that particular M3 is overpriced, but I've owned a number of E46s and my current DD is an E46 with >200k miles on it and the maintenance costs, while certainly higher than those on something like a Honda Accord, are not particularly high. Barring something truly catastrophic, my TCO...- dah328

E46s with reinforced subframes aren't especially common. There was a class action lawsuit against BMW in which they were required to pay for subframe repairs for cars that had damaged subframes, but that ended back in 2010 so there weren't a lot of people that benefited from that. If I were...- dah328

And flipping the tires eliminated the vibration? Most directional summer tires will perform equally in dry conditions regardless of direction, but perhaps the more prominent tread of winter tires makes them more sensitive to directionality.- dah328

Good call. Those cars last much longer if they're never driven above 4000rpm and 3/4 throttle.- dah328

Correct on both points. For whatever reason, BMW can't seem to do V8s nearly as well as they do I6s. Even the current generation of V8s have a propensity for expensive-to-fix leaks.- dah328

Supposedly, T-Mobile and Verizon will carry it later in the fall. In the past, US buyers were generally stuck paying full price for an unlocked Sony from Amazon or other online sellers.- dah328

Sony sells a lot more phones overseas than in the US, but their smartphone revenues are roughly on par with HTC's smartphone revenues. I guess that means they could be classified as a smaller player in the Android market but that kinda' illustrates my point in that they offer a smaller...- dah328

About the closest you can get to that is Sony's 4.6" Xperia Z3 Compact which has the same specs as it's "full-size" Xperia Z3 and is close to the size of the iPhone 5. I wish it sold well and was evidence of market demand for high-end, moderately-sized phone, but it doesn't really sell that...- dah328

It's not just the bezels, but the areas above and below the screen. The new phones have a surprisingly low screen size to phone size ratio. The following photos are not actual size, but are to scale. The iPhone 6 on the left has a 4.7" screen. The Galaxy S5 has a 5.1" screen and is...- dah328

Autotrader used to be the most reliable way to sell a car online, but I think Craigslist has overtaken it due primarily to the higher volume of traffic that it receives. You will have to filter out the dumb tire-kickers whether you use CL or AT. Ebay seems to work for higher-end or...- dah328

All true. Unfortunately, fuel stabilizer helps only with the problem of gasoline degrading as it ages. It does nothing to prevent ethanol from gumming up the internals of the engine, carb, fuel lines, etc.- dah328

It's pretty hard to beat the price and availability of Hardie. This is certainly more expensive fiber cement out there such as Nichiha, but I'm not sure what the value proposition is. I went round and round with considerations for cladding the exterior of a new garage I put up that had a...- dah328
