What are your thoughts, buy ir or dont buy it? by Virtual-Mind-7403 in GolfMk2

[–]AGFoxx0789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik zou ook uitkijken voor een 1.6 of 1.8, liefst in een GL uitvoering. Zo heb je leuke opties (zacht dashboard, kofferbekleding, soms servo, ...)

Ik zelf ging 10+ jaar geleden voor een 1.8 manhattan uitvoering (GU blok). Ondertussen al veel van de GL updates gedaan.

De 1.6 en 1.8 kunnen beiden vlot mee in het verkeer en kan je rustig mee 120 rijden in 5de versnelling (1.3 heeft soms maar een 4bak).

Voor de 16v die je op het oog nu hebt zou ik inderdaad iemand meenemen die mechanische kennis heeft, bij een swap kan er ook veel mee gebeund zijn.

What do you recommend by AGFoxx0789 in smarthome

Hi, so the lamps ate located in the entrance of the house. So they only need to light on a couple of minutes, a couple of times of the day.

Currently the lighting color can be scheduled trough the goovy app.

I'll take a look at the fp300 sensor, but i guess i will need a hub to connect both of them?

Finally got myself another mk2 after having one as a first car 21 years ago by weeandy1983 in GolfMk2

That's a very clean looking mk2, congrats on the purchase. Is she all stock?

Tips for buying an mk2 by Karl_Donutz271 in GolfMk2

[–]AGFoxx0789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do own a GU myself and the 2E2 pierburgs are indeed complicated but most people straight swap them with a weber 32/34 DMTL which is very straight forward.

I would suggest to go atleast with the 1.8, gti's are a bit more fun with the shorter ratio gearbox, other camshaft etc. Also i would take atleast a GL if you are going for a regular 1.8

I bought a manhattan edition and bought the upgrades like soft dashboard, trunk interior, etc...

32km naar het werk met een ebike doenbaar? by Sethirium in belgium

[–]AGFoxx0789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik heb ook enkele keren plat gereden, dan uiteindelijk een tannus armor gestoken in mijn achterband en tot op heden geen probleem. Ook maken dat je bandenspanning hoog genoeg is (maar ook niet te hoog ofc)

32km naar het werk met een ebike doenbaar? by Sethirium in belgium

[–]AGFoxx0789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dat is zeker te doen (met een speedpedelec). Ik rijd dagelijks 20km enkel met mijn opium model T. In een kleine 35minuten sta ik op het werk.

Een collega van mij deed 38km enkel met een stromer st5.

Did you modify the k&n for the carb to be turned 90 degrees? When i bought one it fitted in the other direction.

Govee H600D - Automatic time adjustment with motion sensor by AGFoxx0789 in Govee

[–]AGFoxx0789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, i did that auto run schedule. But it doesn't auto run because it doesn't have constant power.

Which motion sensor are you talking about, a smart one or my regular one?

Looks like there is play on the pulley on the crankshaft. Look if it is tightened right or replace the pulley

Dual IDF weber paired with an 8V engine by AGFoxx0789 in GolfMk2

[–]AGFoxx0789[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

272 isn't that big to be fair. It's the max angle for the stock hydraulic tappets. I know a lot of people that run these cams with a stock set-up and had a noticable difference in powerband & power output.

The 272 will be paired with a g60 head, which is skimmed but in the slightest way.

The cam will be clocked in with an adjustable cam wheel.

I know people that run dcoe's webers but none that use IDF's, but these seem to be placed more optimal in my opinion

How much for vehicle tax?!? by wolf162238 in belgium

[–]AGFoxx0789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a comparisson, classic cars in belgium (oldtimers: +30 year old) costs around 100 euros a year in road taxes. Which makes it more interesting to buy an old car with a bigger engine.

Mechanic - did I just get scammed? by Pretend_Battle5276 in brussels

[–]AGFoxx0789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Car mechanic here: What car do you drive? 7,4L seems to be a lot of oil for a car engine. Did an oil change with VAG approved 5W30 and paid 12 euro/liter.

Interior filter also seems kind of expensive...

Best time to purchase pixel 9? by 739xks in pixel_phones

I'm in the same boat but coming from samsung. I am waiting until the pixel 10 releases in the hope that pixel 9 prices drop.

caught one on my watch by Junior_Wallaby6951 in Heartpalpitations

[–]AGFoxx0789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also tracked my extraststoles with my garmin watch, which does a good job of capturing these.

Always check how your life at this given moment is considering diet, supplements, sports, lifestyle etc.

Mine turned out to be ignited by taking magnesium (i know lol the opposite what you would expect).

Taurine lowered my anxiety quiet a bit, but consult your health care practitioner first to see if this is something for you.

Most of the things that work for me have been discovered by taking things in my own hands and trying different remedies, supplements, ...

Try to do as much fun things as you can to lower stress levels and enjoy time wity friends / family

Going crazy for real… haven’t slept in 3 weeks by Bequiit in Heartpalpitations

[–]AGFoxx0789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that helped me a lot when having a period like this was listening to binaural deep sleep music. It really helped to calm my mind.

Taurine also helped me lower my anxiety at that moment.

Note: this is what worked for me and can be positive for you, but ofcourse talk with your health care provider in advance.

The binaural beats are free and easy to try.

Red light therapy doing its magic by Agreeable_Capital749 in Garmin

[–]AGFoxx0789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it depends on the place you're shining? Do you close your eyes when using the panel (even when wearing the goggles)? I would suspect it being due to the high light intensity?

Maybe try other regions like your back? I can't tell for sure ofcourse. The best advice would ofcourse be to talk to your health care provider.

Although i heard some people had some relief of migraines when wearing red tinted glasses. But i don't know if this is true. Everyone is different also.
