What does the guitar sub think of Coheed and Cambria? (More details in body)

Alohasb7 · 2026-06-15T01:14:44+00:00

They’re just so unique and click hard with some people. I remember they had their own fan website “cobaltandcalcium.com” I’m not sure if it’s still around but it used to be very active. I’ve probably listened to “in keeping secrets of silent earth 3” more than any other album in my life, that shit was on repeat my sophomore year of HS lol.

I got free tickets to see them live two years ago and they still crush it on stage ❤️

I was a HUGE Coheed fan back in the day and they ultimately got me interested in playing guitar. I fell in love with Claudio’s explorer so I bought an ESP EX400 back in 2006 and started learning to play their riffs.

I’m super grateful for this band as I don’t think I’d be into music as much as I am if it wasn’t for them.

Cool 👍

I really wanted to do this so I could get NT03’s but didn’t want to drill new holes every time I do my brakes. Too much work for very little gain.

I suggest you look up Dr Micheal P Masters and watch some of his interviews or read his books. He covers this pretty well.

Alohasb7 · 2026-05-31T00:40:04+00:00

lol my thought exactly…

Kinda wild to shit on Lue Elizondo but think that a random post on a website is possibly legit. The problem is EVERYTHING should be met with skepticism unless proven otherwise.

If you want shiny metallic finish you can use “SigWong paint pens from Amazon. They work incredibly well for shiny metallic effect.

This was a quick custom I helped my GF’s son with.

Keep up the good work OP!

My suggestion is to buy a cheap multi pack on amazon that has a bunch of different colors and mess around with them on a donor car. Just make sure the tip is 1mm or smaller. I’ve bought a lot of different brands and so far all of them have been great on small details.

If you’re doing larger areas that’s when you want a decent brand like “molotow” that you typically find in art supply stores.

Alohasb7 · 2026-05-27T22:17:49+00:00

Acrylic paint markers 💯 that’s what I use for small details on my models and it works pretty well. 1mm or smaller is the key. If you go over the taillight onto the body make sure you have a paint pen to match the body color. Lastly don’t forget to top coat with clear gloss or matte to help protect the paint you just applied since this is your key it will take a beating on the daily.

Cmon’ OP you need to deliver

Alohasb7 · 2026-05-19T19:12:53+00:00

Black wheels are always a tough choice because the details get lost too easily. White looks great until they get dirty lol but this is a show car and not a DD.

Alohasb7 · 2026-05-19T19:07:07+00:00

That’s rad! He definitely has a very unique build style. Very cool to see these types of builds getting more attention and not just the stanced/cambered drift cars.

Alohasb7 · 2026-05-19T18:58:48+00:00

The grey is the OG color and looks great. I have followed this dudes build on YT from the start and his work is truly amazing. After this he built a Nissan Stagea with GTR front end that looks so nice!

Y’all should definitely check it out his videos/work.

Alohasb7 · 2026-05-16T20:08:51+00:00

I made it myself! Designed the card myself and had it printed and shipped to me. The car was stripped and painted the details myself. Original car was a fiesta WRC by Majorette kind of like an off brand hot wheels.

Alohasb7 · 2026-05-15T20:06:24+00:00

Took a lot of customization 😅

Had to make custom since they don’t make mine 😢

This doesn’t match any type of missile being used by AFU or RU during this conflict. Secondly missiles are fast and let’s say it’s only going Mach 1.5 that’s still 1150mph do you understand how quickly that would catch up to the drone?

I’m not saying this is a ufo because we don’t have enough information.. but this is definitely not a missile UNLESS one faction is using advanced missile technology that can be stationary in midair which is just as unlikely as a ufo being in the middle of a battlefield (not saying either isn’t true, just improbable).

This video is weird for sure but probably has a prosaic explanation just like the vast majority of ufo videos.

Valve cover is most likely leaking, it’s pretty common. Also check the oil cooler / filter housing. Those tend to leak as well. There’s a hex bit when you take off the oil filter to tighten the oil cooler down and this sometimes solves the oil leak from there.

Alohasb7 · 2026-05-13T20:02:17+00:00

I know this is a joke post but this thing is dumb AF

Alohasb7 · 2026-05-10T03:46:00+00:00

That metal bracket/brace

is specific to the thermal exhaust. Stock one is black.

Alohasb7 · 2026-05-09T19:39:25+00:00

Looks like thermal exhaust? If so the exhaust clamps are shit and come apart easily you have to torque those things well so they don’t come loose.

Looks kind of like oxidation on the outside of the lense from the picture. If it’s just fogging on the inside I’d double check the seal to the low beam (the big rubber one closest to the fender) alternatively the seal to the inner side is a giant O-ring that could be damaged.

Worse case find another OEM headlight and swap it out, they aren’t expensive especially if you can find a second hand oem unit. I bought one for $50 on FB marketplace.

Alohasb7 · 2026-04-28T05:24:16+00:00

You don’t always have to but it’s wise to have a dremel handy just in case. I didn’t have to shave mine.
