Not saying this is the case here, but driver weight makes a huge difference in carts as well. That's why kids with no fear always seem to be faster than adults with skills.

Yesterday I learned changing the oil filter on an RB26 is a major PITA.

Apparently shooting the filter after removal with a .22 is encouraged.

TIL what Hula Hoops are, and that I can order a 6 pack of them on Amazon for $0.36 but the shipping is $10.99.

Funny story, my wife was watching an American cooking YouTube feed, they were using a particular crisper tray... And she wanted the specific tray.. $10 tray cost me £45.00 in shipping.. I did say that we can buy similar things in the UK, and we can buy a set of different sizes but nope!! She wanted the American tray..

As for Hula Hoops, I wonder if it's cheaper getting a box shipped over?

Haha. I have a relocation kit, but just haven't had the time to make it to a shop to install. I didn't know mine had an oil cooler already, so it makes installing the relocation kit a little more complicated. So hopefully by the next oil change, I'll have more time (and it matches with the shop), that way the install can be done the same time the oil is changed out.

If I may ask, what car do you have with that lovely RB26 <3
