a primate posted:I bought both Metro Redux games for 6 bux each, buy that instead! I am really happy with the Centric ceramic pads I just put on my Crown Vic. I got the fancy drilled Centric C-Tek rotors because they cost about the same in a kit as plain rotors, but just about anything will do for that. I've only had the pads on a week, but no dusting so far, especially compared to the semi-mets that were on it (likely the cheapest available) The grab quite a bit more aggressively than the previous pads, too. Not enough to say that they are "grabby", but noticeably more effective, which I like. freelop posted:There should be another Unreal Tournament Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:That moment when you order a compressor from someone in Texas, who claims it's shipping from less than 100 miles away (Granbury) and you ask them if you can just pick it up in person... then the tracking shows it's coming from Michigan. Wow. Do they not understand how tracking works, or just not care because they've got your money now? Probably that last. Somewhat Heroic posted:Better yet! They will probably use FedEx or UPS "Smart Post" through USPS and it will take anywhere from 10-15 days for delivery! All to save about one or two dollars on shipping "Smart Post" needs to not just die, but be executed in public. opengl128 posted:They have, its currently in Alpha and free Uh. ...I'll be in my

Pham Nuwen posted:My buddy's 1984 Nissan 720 just failed a smog test with CO levels about 2.5x allowable. Where would you guys start? He thinks he has a vacuum leak but I haven't verified how he came to that conclusion or if it even would affect CO. Move to a state that doesn't try to do insane things like smog 30+ year old cars. But if you can't do that, the Internet says that high CO is from rich fuel mixtures: http://www.salemboysauto.com/faqs/faq-20.htm (scroll down about half-way) edit: usually, a vacuum leak would cause high HC, unless it's the MAP, possibly. I think. edit 2: another one: http://www.smogtips.com/failed-high-carbon-monoxide-CO.cfm Darchangel fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Jun 23, 2017 |

Metal Geir Skogul posted:Run the tank near empty, fill with 5 gallons of denatured alcohol. Use E85 if it's available in your neck of the woods. Significantly cheaper. That's how my '90 RX-7 passed the last two years it needed to (high HC.)

LloydDobler posted:I think my gaming days are over for real now. I can't keep up with hardware. This is pretty much why I turned the Xbox 360 years ago. More that I was too poor to keep up with PC hardware at the time. Now it's totally that I don't care. Caveat is that you have to get used to a controller, and mods are pretty much right out.

InitialDave posted:Land Rover temp gauge seems to read quite high, but I think it's the regulator for the gauges causing it, rather than it being an actual cooling issue. He pulled over to help, because he *knows* he's going to need someone to pull over and help him, at any time. Just paying it forward.

FAT32 SHAMER posted:whirlpool are made here in michigan (though i'm sure all the parts are from china) Might be worth it to, er, help it along, somehow. Pinhole in the coils, maybe? Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:If you don't care if they match, or how old they are, you can find W/D sets all day on Craigslist and facebook for $150 or less. There's a ton of used appliance shops that have basic sets for $150-300 on Craigslist here, generally with a 30-90 day warranty and sometimes with delivery included. If they're basic models, you can probably keep them going for ages until something expensive (transmission in the washer, for example) takes a poo poo. Our HE front loader set came from an appliance shop, for about $400, with the drawer stands. I don't even actually recall the brand at the moment, maybe GE? Anyway, a few settings on the dial don't work, but Normal, Delicate, and Heavy Duty do, so we're happy. Apparently you can replace the main board to fix it. It's about $150 to do so, so not completely outrageous, but the stuff that won't select are settings we only would want to use occasionally, if at all. I've had to plastic fix a bunch of the retainers for buttons and such on the main panel, because the plastic they used gets crispy (ABS of some sort), and replace a safety limit thermistor on the dryer (twice!), but they work fine. Appliance shop delivered, installed, and took the old units for the purchase price. A+, would buy again. Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:e: getting to it via outside isn't really an option... I'm on the 3rd floor. Pussy. Cage posted:Had my first catastrophic oil change yesterday. I do the oil on my 04 mustang and 99 explorer all the time, the oil filter comes off by hand and gets tightened by hand, no problems. I helped my dad out with his 09 grand marquis which has the same engine as the mustang, so I thought hey easy! Oil filter was on there pretty tight from the last time the dealer did the oil, so I needed to use filter tool to get it off. Put the new one on and I tighten it by hand, I even get two hands on and to make sure its tight and its not going anywhere. Turn the engine on and whoops everything dumps out. Turns out hand tight was not ok on this car, so I got the tool on there and it did tighten a few more twists. After we filled it up the engine knocked for about 3 seconds until the oil started getting in there which had me super worried but everything seems ok now. Hand tight should be good enough (your hand may vary, I suppose.) Maybe take a look at it again if you get a chance. Something might be wonky. One of the idler pulleys on my Crown Vic has been intermittently squeaking for a while. Finally got on Rock Auto, etc and checked prices. Eh, cheap enough, so I bought both from Amazon because Prime. An also cheaper. I'll replace the easy one (fixed idler) first, and then the one on the tensioner if that doesn't get it. edit: Thank you, added to watch list. edit 2: eyebeem posted:I bought the cobalts off of Craigslist after finding that the wheelset I had planned to use for a while had a bum front hub and front rim. I got a killer deal on them and they will make an awesome spare wheelset. You're... making up manufacturer names, right? Darchangel fucked around with this message at 17:51 on Jun 26, 2017 |

eyebeem posted:Heh, I didn't even post what I was wearing on that ride: Can't hate on Cap. I should dig out my Murray piece of poo poo MTB and at least tool my fat self around the neighborhood. Maybe then I can become my not quite as fat self. (Hard not too pushing around the ton of steel a cheap MTB is...) Edit: I could ride my wife's Terra trike, I suppose. It's pretty nifty.

Ferremit posted:Urgh something I ate in the last 24hrs has seriously disagreed with me. I'm confused. I thought The Cloud *was* "my butt". How do you wipe your arse with your arse? Ohhhh, you mean an actually cloud. Get thee to the grocery store/Walmart/etc. On the TP aisle will be products called "sanitary wipes". They are baby wipes for adults. Buy them, wipe in more comfort, if not comfort. there's even a brand called "Man Wipes" or something. nm posted:Baby wipes Or, yeah, actual baby wipes will do the same thing, but you'll smell like a baby. IOwnCalculus posted:"But this managerial course we took says we have to have people in the office from 9 to 5! It's important!" It's amazing how often management doesn't seem to realize how many of use don't actually *want* to work, but have to because we like to eat and provide for our family. Or maybe they just don't care, because they could replace you easily. Probably that last one. "Hey, why can't we seem to keep talented, reliable employees?"

monsterzero posted:Elite 10% reporting in. Looked up my Chevy's option codes while I sat at the DMV registering it. Got a G80. My wife's Kia needs new struts, after 160K miles. At least one is blown, because it's doing that rolling thing when you hit a dip, where one corner pitches more than the rest. My RX-7 did that, and, as you say, it was amazing with new (well, used, but good Tokico blues) struts. Ferremit posted:I took a poo poo today at work and had to use the government supplied cheapest, nastiest '1500 sheets per roll' single ply toilet paper.

I'd imagine labor would be whatever the minimum labor amount is at that dealer (1/2 hour to an hour). This is pretty much how they do cruise control, too. the stalk is all the hardware that's needed, since everything is DBW, but you need a GM tech and programmer to enable it in the ECU. edit: you get your new AC compressor in yet?
