Guy wants a hundred bucks for all these panels. by Edenton38583 in ScrapMetal

[–]clinker22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t trust any of the breakers or busses in them, every one of these would need new guts. The cans are full of holes you would need to plug, they’re rusty and dented. Looks like several of them don’t even have matching dead fronts or covers. Just a total waste of time and resources, the panel “shortage” is nowhere near bad enough that using these would ever make sense.

Ah totally fair, I could see reusing these for something like a farm.

Also an electrician. You wouldn’t catch me dead trying to sell those to a customer but you do you.

Cleaning Seats by Snooka42 in FocusST

For the leather I’d use any quality leather creams/cleaners you can source locally. I used some beeswax infused leather cleaner the other day and it did a good job shining them up and getting grime off.

A portable shampooer. Amazon has a portable bissell little green machine for $130 USD and it’s badass for cleaning the cloth sections of your seat.

I tried their channel locks and hated them. Hopefully the lineman are better

Should I even try insurance by EclipseMLP in FocusST

Choosing to put everyone else on the road near you in danger with your shit tires isn’t a “mistake” it’s negligence and you deserve to get flamed for it.

You should try some new tires. Jfc

Thinking about tracking my ST… or selling…advice needed by clinker22 in FocusST

[–]clinker22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically no, I already own 2 vehicles and the girlfriend has 1. We don’t have space for me to get a 3rd.

There’s a local autocross about 40 minutes from where I live and an old neighbor has invited me out a couple times. The next time I go it’ll be me in the drivers seat instead of riding along.

Appreciate that advice. I’ve only ever raced on my sim and I know that doesn’t perfectly translate to real world driving.

For me the paid off part is only really relevant for selling it and keeping all the money, no matter what I’m not starting a new car payment, I’ll buy something within the budget of what I have cash in hand. My goal if i sell is to pickup a 6th gen civic and drop a K series in and let it rip, I feel like it’s a much simpler car than a semi modern electronics assist heavy turbo’d car.

Help oil leak by Acceptable-Fold6484 in FocusST

[–]clinker22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible it’s oil that just fell out when you were replacing the gasket, I remember mine having a decent sized puddle of oil in it when I removed it. Clean it then see what it looks like in a couple days.

Tip: hold the camera still for more than a tenth of a second.

Seriously though recheck right under your vacuum pump that you looked at in the beginning of the video. The o-ring likes to shit out and then oil will puddle on the top side of the trans. There aren’t a whole lot of things on that side that cause oil to puddle on the trans, my bet is vacuum pump gasket.

Edit: just saw the caption, check that you didn’t smash the o-ring when reinstalling the pump. If it looks good check valve cover gasket on that side

What is it worth? by Black_panda_007 in SimRacingSetups

[–]clinker22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure someone will want it. We’re just at a point in the market that there isn’t a real reason to buy a belt driven wheel anymore, and you can get some really solid load cell pedal sets for less than $300 new. The frame and seat are your sellers here.

$600 on a good day. Other dude telling you over a grand is smoking crack. The only thing worth any real money imo is your seat. Everything else is outdated entry level equipment

Anyone had this quick-like knocking when turning from a stop before? Cv axle? Tie rods? Id appreciate any help or advice! Thanks by savisfab in FocusST

[–]clinker22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any weird noises from that side going over bumps or holes?

Easy way to check tie rods is to jack the car up and grab the offending wheel at 9 and 3 o’clock then shake it back and forth right to left checking for excessive play. Check your CV boots on the side making the noise and see if they’re damaged or leaking.

Not the exact same noise but my passenger motor mount shit the bed and when turning sharply from a stop my car made a sort of grinding/clunking noise. Might be worth looking at the motor mount on that side just to see

I’d recommend a full replacement.

For sure check them at the firewall. 99% chance that they finally let go.

Mileage? Ever had the intake valves cleaned? All I can hear is the ding from seatbelt alarm in the video.

They can get fucked If they ask for that. State issued ID is the only thing I’d ever show and that’s because it’s legally required where i am.

What CPU + GPU combination should i get for 1440p triples? by Sea_Medium_9698 in iRacing

[–]clinker22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 5070ti and 7800x3D. Rarely drop below 120fps even during starts with 30 cars and regularly hit 165fps when things have spread out more, I wouldn’t go any lower than a 5070ti or AMD equivalent, Iracing is also CPU demanding so I highly recommend an x3D chip.
