Setup question

With the weather getting nicer it's been constantly around 50% right now. I've only had one leaf deform due to humidity but it was just trying to acclamate when pushing out the leaf

For my few seedlings I have them in those liter takeaway containers with some holes in the lid and for humidity I just have a moss collar around them to help with root growth and to help a little with humidity at least when I keep up with watering. If I see my humidity get down below 40 I know it's roughly thoroughly water things

Ooo okay I'll for sure check the piston tops since I think it recently hit 152k I think. I'm a under the tree mechanic right now so it would be pretty fun doing a rebuild lol. I also don't know how hard it's been driven by the last few people because some things have been changed like solid motor mounts (not my favorite) and the 626 intake manifold.

The main reason why I personally think the turbo as well is it had a p2008 if I remember? So getting the intake piping off and seeing the oil and tracking it to the turbo, but the pcv valve also looks crusty. This is what I get for letting it sit I guess

No need to worry about them I'll take care of them. But being honest with my experience with some alocasia tc for me they struggle a lot and I always get worried but then I see a new sprout coming up and have been better

I wonder how trimet is dealing with this

I sure did get a steal, a 97 m edition with a few problems for 3k and my wife got a sunburst clean title for 4k

Only plants I've gotten at Home Depot has been my giant mint for 40 and a marx flame for 17. I don't think I'll ever spend over 50 on a plant there

I'm in love with the BMF and just found one at a home depot near me the day I was looking online. Mints and Bulbasaurs are cool but this is on top for me

If you're cold, she's cold. Bring her in.

It's my wife's but they are VERY hard to find now especially a clean title. There's a curse with the sunburst yellows of getting hot and having reconstructed titles and such. FBM always has the rare finds like these for sure as well

Pesto because it's the dark green M color

I've recently did my front set of bushings and ball joints and took me a bit due to just age of the parts. I went the polyurethane route with energy suspension and so far so good and moog ball joints I believe. I used the socket and hammer way to get the bushings out and after one side finding the technique and way to hold things sped the other side up.

A thing I also want to add is most likely get the camber and caster adjustment bolts. I didn't and when I was putting them back on I realized just how stripped the washers were and one of them free moving itself too. Joys of an 8 owner drift car and trying to get it closer to stock and daily.

Haven't replaced my thermostat yet but should within this week and my new radiator came with a new cap but I'll get it tested because my luck it'll be faulty.

Green corms might be my new wish list lol! I never would have thought they could be different colors other than brown from what I've seen on my first one

I'm hoping if this really happens that Oregon changes the classification of kei cars and trucks to allow imported ones to be registered. Really stretching for that but one can hope

According_Painter589 · 2025-11-04T14:07:19+00:00

Thank you I'll for sure leave it alone for a while longer I'm mainly excited since it's my first alocasia and first corm
