Basically yes. The rotating head seal and the con rod knuckles and the nutating (?) joint look like nice pieces to replace at short intervals. I'd like to be wrong but I'll need to see one do 150000 miles on the road first.

iwentdoodie posted:Hurr. Appointment to try and get off Adderall and onto something less methy. I loving hate psych appointments. I used to be on Adderall, mostly to help the "brain fog" associated with Lyme Disease. I loved it, it made me feel happy and not depressed and it also made me productive and able to focus. But I also hated it because it made me socially withdrawn and too focused on what I was doing to the point that I wasn't communicating very well with my then-fiancée. Also, since I wasn't drinking enough water, I kept getting really bad cavities, though I had never had one before until I started taking it, and also I started flying into rages for no reason and basically became emotionally unstable. So I weened myself off of it for a few weeks then started smoking again to help me totally get it off. A year later, I can't focus for poo poo and I'm hopelessly addicted to my vape (i had to stop smoking real cigs so I didn't kill myself with the cancer), and I struggle with depression and apathy even though I have a pretty good life compared to others here. It's really hard for me to give a poo poo and while I love my major sometimes I can't help but think I should have gone into a skilled trade or construction since I'm so goddamn burned out from five years of university and still another 1.5 years left to go.

Got cut up real bad by an rear end in a top hat in a carpark tonight, took a deep breath and have him a thumbs up (thanks for that terrible driver thread) and carried on without getting stressed. Keeping hydrated and trying to keep my blood sugar level(without a clue what's actually happening) does wonders for your temper, who knew?

I got the plates for the 56! I was worried it was going to be a hassle because of the age and how long its been off the road plus probate and everything but that part went smooth. Then as soon as I got up to the window the printers in the entire DMV went down and I didnt think it was going to happen. I planned on waiting there until the printers started working or the cops took me away. e: Motronic thats beautiful

NitroSpazzz posted:What lifts are you looking at? I'm not nearly ready to make a decision, but at the moment I'm really like the idea of a Bendpak HD-9 with a trolley jack and a set of casters. Most jobs will go just fine sitting straight in that bay, but if I need more space to pull a motor+trans I can angle it and drive on through the other bay. I don't have enough height to lift anything far enough to walk under it (other than maybe kinda the Porsche). I most want to be able to pull trans and poo poo safely and easily and have a trolley so I can do suspension work standing up. 2 posters are right out because every one I've used sucks rear end for lifting Rovers.

Legit who does one talk to to maybe get on Adderall? I used to be on it back in the day (ages 16-20 or so), but it was always on the recommendation of our GP who told me to go somewhere, but my mother just gave me hers instead. A psychiatrist? I'd feel weird just calling "off the street" and scheduling an appointment, then saying "well, I used to be on it, and it was awesome and I lost nearly 100 pounds (used to be over 300), but it was never legit. I want back on it!" Or is that how it really goes?

I got mine from my general practitioner and from my Lyme specialist. In Michigan there are walk in clinics that will write you a script for basically whatever you want/need as long as you meet an easy to meet criteria (I can't focus for poo poo doc and nothing I do helps!). When I worked in the pharmacy most adderall scripts were from those clinics, ADHD specialists, and GPs writing for patients with diagnosed adhd but no money to see a specialist.

We have a set of 17x9 RP-F1s with 45mm offset and they rub on the front brake caliper. I think it'll be even worse when we swap out to LS400 fixed piston brakes. I just picked up some 5mm spacers to see if we can get the +45s to clear the front brake.

Funny thing: I picked up a magnet extendy stick at the corner shop for a pound on a whim at the weekend, because I've been without one since the magnet came off mine in the bmw engine bay. Dropped my camera 4 feet into an inaccessible machine at work today, thought ah ha! Magnet! Plastic and aluminum camera. Amazingly I was able to vacuum up enough ferrous junk to snag the camera strap and got it back, so yay, no looking like an idiot asking for a new one. Whoever I get for aiss is definitely getting a couple of those.

Cheby wheels ugly. OCD taping much? loving wind picked up right as I was getting the side covered. Most of that tape just adds enough tensile strength to keep the wind from whipping under the dropcloth and ripping it off. I didn't bother taking any 'post-wire-brush' pics. I mean.. why?  Cheby wheels getting less ugly.

The meds work great for a bit, but after almost two years on it I'm a loving mess. Basically every symptom and issue that TT detailed, ditto for me. I generally loathe myself, have no motivation (or even better, absolutely tons of motivation until one thing goes wrong, at which point I get beyond angry.) Well, I was typing this post and got called in. She put me on Effexor. So yay getting used to new med.

Oh yeah, the higher offset wheels have a slightly different spoke shape, especially the 17x9 +45. The same wheel in 17x8 +45 actually has way more brake caliper clearance. The +35 or +22 version should be fine though., and I'm pretty sure you can get a template to print/cut out and put on your hub like brake mfgs do.

The best description I can give for the way I feel off meds vs. on meds is like this: off meds, my brain feels like a pile of coat hangers. A big, messy jumble and if you try to get one thing out, 17 other things are coming with it. On meds, it's like putting all of those hangers on a rack. Organized, neat, and you can actually get to the thing you want.

e/n timebandman posted:This. I have a raging case of ADHD and in addition to taking adderall, I'm seeing a therapist to learn how to better cope with my horribly overclocked brain. That's the way I am now, and the way I used to be. It was so depressing, because I'd start nineteen projects, each with a detailed plan (either on paper on in my head, but feature-complete), and I maybe would only finish up one of them to 50% of the quality I had envisioned, because mentally bouncing between everything floating around kept me from focusing on one deal, or organizing time effectively. It was so bad that I ballooned from 240 pounds (I was 240 in the sixth grade, all the way through high school) to well over 300. After taking adderall, I was able to focus, and task myself effectively. I lost weight down to 210 pounds in about a year and a half, and ended up joining the Army (and stopping adderall at the same time, as I never officially took it). The Army kept me in line thoughout BCT and AIT (my AIT was 44 weeks long, so over a year total), and at my first duty station, but after switching to the National Guard, I'm back in the old rut, and am back up to 230 pounds though depression and lack of motivation. I mean, in my head, I'm motivated to do a ton of poo poo (my beetle project is one of them), but I have an extraordinarily difficult time taking all of this motivation that's spread out like the fibers in a shag carpet, and combing it into one thing. That's how I feel, but do you think if I told a shrink what I said above that it would be adequate? I've never seen one before. Even being a 68W/EMT and dealing with behavioral patient transports all day, seeing a non-crisis psychiatrist is something I'm not familiar with at all.

Dude you basically just wrote the exact same poo poo I go through. Go see a doc. I'm still active, so they were SUPER leery of putting me on meds. And honestly, I'm scared to actually open up or talk past a certain point because I worry CONSTANTLY that I'll gently caress up and say something that will make me get kicked out.

Geirskogul posted:e/n time There are non-stumulant medications you can take. Strattera us one of them, but it didn't work out for me. There are non-medication treatments as well. High protein, low-carb diets, omega-3 supplements, and aerobic exercise are all proven to help with ADHD (omega-3 not so much maybe). Working with a therapist on coping mechanisms and learning how to make your overclocked brain work for you instead of against you is also highly recommended. Medication is tremendously helpful, but it's only a small piece of the puzzle.

Never took the rit like I was supposed to because it made me crazier than normal. A few years ago when I went back to school I told him "yeah I think I might still have a touch of that ADD thing, what do you recommend?" bam, adderall. If you can get your old records from that doc you should be able to get it without much issue. Oh, if someone wants to put you on dexedrine BE CAREFUL. That poo poo turned me into a legit speed freak. E: ^^^ what that guy said, exercise helps a lot. Even if it's just a brisk morning walk.

There's an interesting old guy who's lived on my street for years. He's got a beater old E30 and some kind of well-worn old Chevy truck set up for camping trips. When he moved there, he was constantly outside tinkering on that beat up old BMW - it's a piece of poo poo, but you could tell how much he loves it. His garage is the ownage kind that barely has enough room to move because it is filled with tool chests and grinders and manuals. I didn't see him for awhile, and then one day he was back outside in a robe, with an IV stand, hovering over the open hood of the e30. I stopped to say hi and apparently he'd suffered a couple of bad strokes, but was okay and still tinkering. I saw him less and less, but today I was driving home in my E46 and saw his hood up/door open, so I pulled up to say hi again. Poor old guy was just sitting in the driver's seat looking pale and weak as hell, with a dogeared old manual on his lap. I asked him how the BMW was running; he said he couldn't get it started. I offered a jump, but he has a new battery in it and suspects the starter solenoid. I offered to help him smack it with a rubber mallet, and he laughed and insisted otherwise, despite my repeated offers. We shared a joke about German cars and I told him to come get me if he ever needs a hand with poo poo. I drove my E46 home and parked it next to my well-worn old Jeep set up for camping trips; the glimpse into the future was not lost on me. Seeing him sitting there all pallid and weak bummed me the gently caress out. Age is a motherfucker, swap axles and do dumb AI stuff before it's too late dudes.
