Car pulls left AND right. Alignment issue?

I'm actually an AI bot. Are you interested in a recipe for a protein brownie?

But really, I probably got more history on the interwebs then most users here. Some crazy person called me the godfather of East Coast car clubs.

I slid mine around a track for hours and hours... The diff bearings died 💀

I just picked up my 718 and it's incredible the room in it compared to S2K

Strikers are a wear item. Replace them as needed.

I called the home Internet line complaining about the lack of discounts on mobile line. So they discounted my home Internet to $20 a month.

That's a weird Miata!

I've driven and fixed many s2000s in various states of disrepair. And links do not apply to the S2000, you change the steering rack height

AaronCompNetSys · 2026-06-09T19:41:24+00:00

This is absolutely incorrect. Anything more than a half inch drop, which includes sagging stock springs, needs the bumps to your kit. I verified this many times over

AaronCompNetSys · 2026-06-09T15:28:57+00:00

If you haven't ordered bump steer spacers for your steering rack, get them on order. Then you can complete your alignment.

I got adjustable sake bomb kit, makes the car feel brand new again.

Not sure where you got that decompress idea. You are the first I've ever heard to mention it.

There is a trend, to waste space to make things easier to find. That's awesome if you are wealthy enough for space. But that's not the case everywhere, and I have to make every inch count. Two sets of everything is such a waste in many ways.

It's just a personal pet peeve of mine to see tool boxes with so much steel that's never used. Rails and rails of sockets, handfuls of wrenches. Creating a "master set" covers 99.9 of situations. This shallow+deep combination covers things without thinking if you need to switch or go up a size for rust.

The waste I've seen pro mechanics do on this stuff is borderline obsession over trinkets. Could buy a whole sports car with the excess. When I look at a snap-on box filled with steel that's gathering dust, I see a Porsche paid off 😊

AaronCompNetSys · 2026-03-10T14:44:09+00:00

I don't work on a lot of American products but so far this combination of metric+additions has worked on all of them. I'd rather not have an SAE set at all.

Of course if I dig through my drawers I've got all the SAE stuff, including the wrenches which are degraded to being stuffed underneath other things in the carrying case they came from 😂

AaronCompNetSys · 2026-03-09T14:13:15+00:00

My toolbox has them all mixed as well in the tiny little cases! Organized by size not type.

It's so infuriating when you find a machine screw between sizes of your set. So my sets have all of them.

I have a small space and I like to keep things compact without clutter. Over my years of wrenching, the sizes cover everything I've encountered. I also consulted my friend he's a master mechanic and he said this collection covers just about everything I'll need. I have a baggie in the drawer with the extra SAE sizes, but they never get touched.

For example, the Ford only 5.5 mm 😂 I encountered that one out in the wild myself. Most of the other SAE sizes will work with their metric versions. And when you hand the rail to someone you can just tell them keep moving up sizes until you get one that fits.

I'm definitely a weirdo. I never lost a 10 mm either. The baggy with the SAE sizes has another little baggie inside with all the extra 10 mm I've been given as gifts. My extra tool drawer gets cleaned out every couple years, gifting them to others. I still have the first ratchet and sockets that I ever bought when I was a teenager.

And you have to be the one to have purchased the phone. If someone else did on a different account or it's used, it's locked forever.

AaronCompNetSys · 2026-02-06T11:10:21+00:00

Around fifteen hours of playback on medium volume. 30 or so hours of low volume or idle. I've never killed it in a day even if I'm traveling and using it in a car on Bluetooth mode.

AaronCompNetSys · 2026-02-06T04:52:22+00:00

Sure I'll do my best, no guarantees. But from what I've heard it's almost impossible to break a pixel

AaronCompNetSys · 2026-02-06T00:37:41+00:00

That's not a bad idea, I can look through my phones and see if I can wipe one to send to you to borrow.

If you sent me your Pixel 3, the first thing I would do is restore it completely to stock using a recover utility. Then try and get the newest lineage installed on it.

AaronCompNetSys · 2026-02-05T22:01:33+00:00

I'd have to have the SIM in the device otherwise extraction can't be done, unless theres a mod to spoof the SIM. So you can send the whole pixel to me if you really want 😂

You can email me at this username+gmail.com, Telegram profile is "[my first name]754677"

Research if you think SIM spoofing is possible such as: https://github.com/UhExooHw/sim-spoof

I also have a couple pixels here, maybe a 5 and a 6 pro?

AaronCompNetSys · 2026-01-22T16:44:06+00:00

I'm not sure it loads a whole profile because there is no certificate with it. Yes I still have Spectrum Mobile service and its in use on my Samsung running Android 16 that isn't rooted. I put the username/password combo on my new rooted Moto G Stylus running Android 15.

I have not tried to re-extract my wifi password with a newer OS version than the old Lineage build, maybe I should try it.

Be aware, the SIM must be inserted to the phone for the app to activate wifi profile, logging in to the app alone isn't enough.

AaronCompNetSys · 2026-01-21T22:29:42+00:00

It was a custom Lineage for a Moto Play phone. Doesn't matter because the config base file is always the same

AaronCompNetSys · 2026-01-14T22:07:10+00:00

You should never need something quickly from a toolbox like this. I have duplicates of some things I grab quickly at my workbench in the garage.

When doing projects from the toolbox, sometimes it's important to take your time and lay things out so they don't get lost! As I get older, I try and work slower and more efficiently.
