rndmnmbr posted:A lot of people down on antidepressants ITT, but that's cool. Not everything works for everybody. Lexapro is the bomb. This year is the first year where I finally feel like I have my life under control. I used to suffer from really bad social anxiety and agoraphobia, but now I can finally function like a normal human being and I am much happier for it. I'm finally able to devote my energy to the things I love and want to do.

Not sure and don't even know where the site is located at the moment. All I know is they may need a hand beginning of October and my name came up from several people. I'll be in a loud and cold computer room most of the trip but if weather isn't poo poo and it's in a decent area I'll take a couple extra days at the end to see the area.

Something's up with the pickup... feels like sometimes when I'm cruising along, it'll sorta lose power for a little bit before coming back. Also tends to be sorta jerky/low power when I've just upshifted, especially if I've short shifted it. Clutch might be going out? Also the pisshead turn signal decided to stop working, but the hazards are still ok; I think there's only one flasher module so I'm guessing it may be the contacts inside the turn signal switch? Luckily the local pick & pull has 3 old Mazda trucks, hopefully one has a switch still on it. The joys of a cheap pickup, I guess. Got me to work ok, at least. I'll probably want to finish off this tank of seafoamed gas before I smog it for registration.

Clutch going out would feel the opposite of what I'm getting from your post - the engine would be able to make the clutch slip, so you'd be able to floor it in fourth or fifth gear and have the revs jump without any actual change in speed.

Yeah, seems like a miss or bogging down at certain loads. Fuel or ignition problem (or air leak). As far as indicator, check earths/negs.

If it's EFI it may be something dumb like the ECU coolant temperature sensor. That part caused me fairly similar loss of power problems on my Miata and googling it, it looks like it would use the same part.

Well, gently caress. My sister's fiancee finally succumbed to cancer last night. Nuts. He was an all-around kinda guy. Had a degree in Industrial Engineering, and ran a one-man machine shop, while refitting older CNC machines to modern controls (a PC and interface board, new steppers, etc.) to sell. Knew a silly amount of stuff about machines, firearms, engines, and a bunch of other stuff. My sister picked a good one. Really liked the guy. They never even had a chance to get married. To top it off, I'm 1500 miles away in California until early next week. We knew it was coming, but it still sucks. It's always too soon. e: holy poo poo that avatar 14-inch.

I'm gonna bug Parts Kit to see if the Haynes manual is worth a drat, because I haven't been able to find any carb tuning details online. I'll also see if I can find any more vacuum leaks and take a look at the distributor cap+rotor. I pulled two plugs and they looked ok, but I should probably check them all and gap them. Thanks for the advice, everyone! I like this little fucker even though it's been a bit of a dickhead.

loving christ. I must be being punished for something. We put down our family dog yesterday and today I managed to step on what feels like 100 needles. I have no idea what weed/plant I stepped on in the garden, but it left dozens of clear, microscopic slivers in my big toe. Extracting them took twenty minutes and it felt like someone was pulling glass fragments out. I walk 15 blocks to work and of course found the one we missed. And it's only Tuesday.

In more positive news, I was passed by a pair of Mclaren 12Cs (I think) on 405 the other night. Good sound. And saw like 3 more Maserati Gran Turismos, one a convertible. They really like those here. Oh! and an Alpina B7 this morning. Lots of Beemers here. I've seen more M3s in a week than I see in months in DFW (depends on area, of course.)

Any megasquirt people in here? My buddy's car, an 87 Scirocco, has been in storage for awhile. When he pulled this ecu off to check it, it's getting no power. This one wire is loose, but he and I have no idea where it goes. Long shot I know, but eh. Its MS2 v3.0 http://i.imgur.com/9CdUZ3n.jpg Edit: wire is coming off the bottom of the resistor in the bottom row of the Proto box iwentdoodie fucked around with this message at 21:03 on Aug 18, 2015 |

One of them was my manager, I was showing him my pictures from the drag race and he just kept scrolling and I was like I wouldn't so that if I were you there's some poo poo on there, and he said whatever he didn't care. And I knew when he flipped far enough because he said AW DUDE WHAT THE FUUUUCK in the same way that everyone says it, then turned around and waved the phone at the guys up front.

Adiabatic posted:CAT INTERCEPTOR why are you making me agree with corn in the fridge. Bro. Having no illusions is actually very liberating. It also allows me to know that I a) have lived longer than 80% of every human that has lived and am expected to live nearly twice that again and b) extremely fortunate I live in a place where I can cycle in peace c) even if I now know I am going to have very painful knees for the rest of my life (and some days are VERY unplesant, not looking forward to how poo poo they will be in 20 years time), I'm fine with that given how comparably good I have it otherwise. So no, it's not hell to think the way I do. Plus the great thing about the dodgy knees is that I am officially under doctor / physio orders to ride bikes. Or maybe soon even have a good excuse to blaze if weed's pain relief is true. Is it worth looking at MMJ to help with arthritic knees?

Its what you make of it folks. Be sad and depressed or do something. gently caress hit the pick and pulls, its only a buck to get in. Go in, find a car, and take some poo poo off of it. You don't have to buy it, just take poo poo apart - though find a car that not a sole would touch. A nice late 90's Caddy would be a good target. Find out how many head gaskets its eaten.
