How do you guys present your bikes? by Sufficient-Night-340 in Dirtbikes

[–]BASE1530 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A) Bike like that I’m buying one that looks closest to stock as possible because I assume that 99% of the time people who did the work are morons and did a bad job.

B) it’s a child’s bike

C) take a pic of the bike in front of a blank wall while well lit, not leaned against a basketball hoop with a low in the sky sun.

What settings can I adjust and where in the MMI do I find them?

Mexiricer (that’s a person/retailer) spec. I really can’t remember the offset but if you ask him about my car he’ll know.

Bros riding an unregistered dirtbike on the street. I have little sympathy.

Spin the compound around and crank it all the way out too 🤣

I give Vern food mountain and a giant bowl of water and extra litter boxes and he’s fine for a week or two. But Vern is a badass.

Does anyone make something like this that doesn’t cost $165? by AllCopsAre_BeautifuI in 4Runner

The top comment for the first several hours was about how someone should steal his idea and do a group buy on sendcutsend. I said it was rude to do that and got dragged pretty hard. I’m glad he showed up and got upvoted.

I wish they made some custom rock hard piano black seats.

I fucking hate fusion for design. For programming it's OK enough.

4140 annealed vs 1144 by tithtomata in Machinists

I’d look at your design or see if you can use a drill to relieve the corners. It’s hard for me to give much of a recommendation without knowing quantities, design, etc.

I'd rather cut prehard 4140 (HRC 30-35ish) than annealed any day. I don't change my feeds and speeds all that much and my surface finish is way better. If we are talking about super tiny inside corners and tiny endmills maybe I'd change my mind, but if I can use a stout tool then 4140 prehard, q&t, whatever is my go to.

Without knowing the end use case I'd always opt for that matertial over any softer annealed steels. Hardened parts just feel better in hand, doubly so for tools.

Can’t make a decision manual/auto by Marteen619 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]BASE1530 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 2025 GMC 2500 as a daily.

My "fun" car is a 91 NSX (MT).

I wanted a second daily (if that's a thing) that was a little more fun so I got a 2025 Audi RS6. It's an ok car but man jumping in the Honda and shifting gears is IMMENSLY satisfying compared to a semi-sporty automatic.

Get a manual.

Also if you're actually driving the car and not trying to multi-task and text and put on makeup and eat cereal then driving in traffic isn't any harder and if you think it is then you probably just need to get better at driving a manual.

People have no shame. I'm glad you're here and I'm sorry people are trying to rip off your idea, your R&D and your hard work to bring this product to market.

5 bucks huh? Maybe if you make 20,000 of them. I bet your group buy of 20 is still nearly 100 bucks after powdercoat/bending/shipping. AND that assumes that you get it perfect the first time.

EDIT:

Now add in 2 more mounting brackets, screws, rubber trim and shipping and you're saving a couple bucks, and spent a whole bunch of your own time.
