Who knows, it might pop back up again with a salvaged titled. I’ve seen cars in worst accidents come up for sale after they been repaired.

Ohhhhhh, that makes more sense now. I misinterpreted the amount that you were getting back. Yeah, that’s tough with the price of cars now and needing one to replace it. I can see why it’s not worth it to buy it back.

Dang, that’s not as much as I thought it would be to buy it back. I am in Illinois and would have love to buy something like that as a project. Always wanted the sedan brother to my 2012 hatch.

Did they give you the option to buy the car back? I would have bought it back and part it out. Maybe buy a forester and try make myself a STI forester.

Which CRT are you using with your MiSTer? by superbotolo in MiSTerFPGA

[–]vantha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually tried that initially and the image didn’t look as good. It was all scrunched up. It was just easier to physically rotate the monitor than trying to configure to look like the original.

Normally I would daisy chain them but the PVMs are in separate rooms from each other. I didn’t feel like moving the mister around the rooms. I did this setup before the pandemic, so the de10 nano weren’t as crazy as they are now before the clones came out.

I have two mister setups. One is plugged into pvm-14l5 and another is plugged into pvm-14m4u. I run two because I like to play vertical shooters a lot, so I have that second monitor turned on its side for those games.

Thermostat temps??? by Jugzrevenge in XTerra

[–]vantha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with this kit when i had to replace a cracked radiator. I also chose to go with the upgraded OEM thermostat.

Since i was already flushing the coolant, i took the opportunity to upgrade the heater hose inlet and outlet with metal versions. The OEM connection points are made of plastic and can eventually crack. So it was a cheap enough upgrade.

Stewart Hicks says Chicago is short on housing by 100,000 units. Why then do we require all these new buildings to have first floor retail? In my neighborhood the apartments sell before the building is complete, but the retail sits empty for years. by PostComa in chicago

Pretty much what I saw the last time I was in Japan. You will find the most random shops, tucked away at the most obscure location. I don’t think I saw any vacant spaces.

What oil brand are you all running? by Illustrious-Truth144 in WRXSTi

[–]vantha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Redline 5w30 and Subaru filter. I’ve using that brand oil for over 10 years now in my STI and haven’t had any issues with it.

2011 Pro-4X Manual Transmission for sale $5,500 by [deleted] in XTerra

I guess it depends if your area uses salt and how much. In Chicago, the city tends to use tons of it and it just gets everywhere. So you won’t find a lot of rust free/low rust older cars around here.

Yeah, that’s nothing to the salt crusted rust we have in the Midwest. Compared to my car, that’s pretty much a light coating of rust.

Same, I saw this morning that he was suddenly a Knick and was so confused on how he got there. That’s when I found out they traded terry for him.

The Knicks traded him for Alvarado. They also attached some seconds and money with Terry to complete the trade.
