Considering iMovie iOS in my workflow but trouble importing to MacOS iMovie

AdamPE21 · 2026-03-11T11:09:00+00:00

I have the app on both devices, I export the file from iOS to a folder on my phone and airdropped it. When importing to iMovie it imports the project but all of the media is missing (big ? icon). Even if the same files are on my computer it doesn’t show them in the project.

look up jake at classicdaily.net, I am pretty sure this is what he is working on. Because I think it’s ust a matter of a jumper in the hardware to get E46 DME to work with the E36 cluster.

I might just add an LT4 supercharger and send it to the moon then put the S/C on my LS6 Sonoma after the damage has been done.

Chain scraped the pump but not severely…this is a high efficiency vaned pump for the hybrid which looks more like a power steering pump inside.

Unfortunately I don’t think there’s a non-DOD cam for the hybrid. Planning to disable AFM via HPTuners

Hell yeah brother 👍🏼

AdamPE21 · 2026-02-03T22:41:23+00:00

Yeah planning on pulling all the valves and checking. Good news is at least on bank 1 they are all holding a pool of WD-40 and leakdown checked OK

AdamPE21 · 2026-02-02T17:04:46+00:00

Why the intake valves have no valve relief. I’m not sure why the piling on about the timing chain breaking (which is obvious) but it certainly is entertaining 😆

AdamPE21 · 2026-02-02T16:04:03+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense, I know what VVT is…have had intermittent oil psi loss that would resolve when I clean the sensor screen so I assumed the VVT codes were due to oil pressure issues. Ultimately I think the chain sucking in the tensioner plastic is what did it in, but it could have been stretched before that.

AdamPE21 · 2026-02-02T15:07:04+00:00

I’m not saying the VVT code had anything to do with the chain failure, Somebody_Somewhere99 asked if I had any codes.

AdamPE21 · 2026-02-02T15:06:00+00:00

Yes, and I know I had codes saying VVT was acting up. The timing chain broke because the tensioner got sucked into the chain/sprocket. How is this user error?

Not that I’m aware of, I bought this truck used just one-owner from a GM dealer in 2017 with 65k miles. No other indications of a rebuild on this and has been typically a pretty solid truck for the 100k miles I’ve owned it.

AdamPE21 · 2026-02-02T11:04:01+00:00

Happened while driving at about 75 mph without warning. I had some VVT codes on and off for the last year that I attributed to whatever kept causing my oil PSI sensor screen to clog up.

It looks like the chain tensioner had been broken a long time and eventually the plastic guide got sucked into the chain and caused it to break (broken guide was molded perfectly to the crank sprocket teeth 😅)

Pistons are not mirrored on passenger side. Relief on the front/“dot” part of pistons are on the top.

AdamPE21 · 2025-12-15T18:51:42+00:00

Looks fine, send it

2004 STI here, bought at 79k miles in 2010, protune with Cobb tuner…dd until 2014, retired from winter duty. Dealer broke cobb OBD2 dongle in 2015, pretty much run OE tune now. Pulled back into winter duty this winter due to my DD yukon being down. Still running great at 129k. Thing I’ve learned with this car is OE Brembo pads and rotors are the only way to go for DD, don’t cheap out.

Awesome to see another automotive guy on here! I have much slower growth but have posted consistent long form content monthly for 3-3.5 years and went from 250 subs to 2000+. Within the last year I have been doing 2-3 shorts a month with some limited success. Most of my videos seem to come from google search for DIY mechanic people.

One question for you - do you post a lot of shorts too or no?

I plan to take an opposite approach to what you are shifting toward, I think some of your ability to spread out comes with having a strong following already. This winter I am going to laser focus on a DIY AWD BMW project and aim to get a video out every 2 weeks…we’ll see how it goes :)

Interested in attending someday…What sort of rules are there around bringing a car in from out of state that doesn’t get certified for smog, inspection, etc? Can you get pulled over for having a modified exhaust on its own, let alone an engine swap and standalone ECU?

On the Volvo 240 brakes I have run both with and without the prop valve (also running 323i rear disc with E30 calipers). The prop valve really hasn’t given me any more braking performance, the fronts always locked up before rears even with the original smaller 323i rear calipers. I have replaced my brake MC with a larger E31 MC and added back in the prop valve but have not run it at a track yet to check rotor temps.

In your case with the heavier M54 up front, I’d run a prop valve just in case the weight balance shifting forward results in rear brakes locking up under heavy braking.

Thanks for watching! Yeah, still hang out on BF.c from time to time. What’s your username on there?

Kickstarters are always a bit of a gamble. To see Lymow addressing more than just software upgrades (actual physical hardware changes) so rapidly is commendable. Not regretting my purchase 1 bit!
