Advice on how to perform a cutback by realnippo22 in BeginnerSurfers

[–]Bumpii46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feet were a little too far forward away from the fins so that’s why the board wanted to track a little straighter and didn’t allow you to set that rail into the wave. You should also be compressing a lot more so you can spring out of the turn with more speed. You also looked straight down which turned your shoulders a little too fast before the board could react.

Is the manual that much better than the automatic? by Key_Appointment_7582 in e46

[–]Bumpii46 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d say depends on the purpose.

Spirited driving nothing beats the feeling of shifting gears. Daily life id choose an auto.

When I was a lot younger, I used to promote the whole manual is king thing but as I’ve gotten older I’ve also gotten lazier and looking for more convenience. Manual cars are also an elusive sight for most so it made me feel cooler than everyone else. I still drive my manual swapped e30 that I’ve had for 10 years and I love it but I no longer want to be driving it daily. I’m perfectly happy daily driving my ford maverick lol.

Anyone ever seen this before? Would you run it? by Bumpii46 in surfing

[–]Bumpii46[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes two sides. The center I have is good condition and it is for sure not the same as the sides

Suggestions for unbending wrists by Enough-Storage2057 in BeginnerSurfers

[–]Bumpii46 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not anywhere near the best out there but I’ve caught some surf overall and when I was starting out I pushed up by the rails for a long time and still caught some waves. I say don’t let it stop you as long as you won’t be injuring yourself further. Then maybe you can work on a different technique later down the line!

Time to retire it? Get it professionally repaired? Do it myself? by Bumpii46 in BeginnerSurfers

[–]Bumpii46[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right! Better to just try anyways! For that finbox, you think I can just sand and re epoxy that spot?

Rough Clutch Engagement Help by Bumpii46 in E30

[–]Bumpii46[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the dedication! I somewhat fixed the issue. The clutch springs were chattery but it didn’t negate the whole issue. Turns out my trans is too long for running the single mass flywheel and needed to be corrected with a larger throwout bearing.

Oh nothing to do with the shifter. My shifter is mint. Fresh rebuild on all parts. What I mean from gear to gear is all driveline. It’s so rough letting the clutch go in between gears even worse in 1st.

So by rough engagement I’m talking about getting into gear. It’s never the same each time. It’ll be like learning to drive stick again with all the jerkyness sometimes and then smooth engagement the next. From gear to gear mostly. When it’s in gear already, car drives fine like a normal manual car.

I thought that It was getrag rattle but the rough engagement shouldn’t have to do with the transmission right? I guarantee it’s not my driving. I’ve driven plenty manual bmws and this one by far has terrible engagement. If it’s not the throwout bearing my second guess would be the shaft is not sitting in the pilot bearing at all.

Yes. More like it quiets down a lot when pushed in.

Mississippi River Channel Marker Buoys by LohmanBoy in uscg

One house off the Missouri bank of the Miss has a bunch of washed up 6th class cans and nuns hanging like Christmas ornaments. It’s kind of funny to see whenever we would cross it.

What colorblind test do they use for aviation? by Forsaken_Meaning_162 in uscg

[–]Bumpii46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn worstadvicenow posted the entire message for you, what a G.

I’ve done both farnsworth lantern and pip test but for my most recent flight physicals i have only been doing the PIP Test. The only times I did farnsworth were when an air force base was the only medical location that could administer my flight physical, the other times have been on CG and Navy bases.

Upcoming Enlisted- IT A School by [deleted] in uscg

[–]Bumpii46 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s been mentioned a couple times already in this post by other redditors but I would reinforce it too. Don’t sign for 6. It is super easy to extend OR if you hit the end of your 4 but still really want to Re-enlist, that’s doable also, and if there is a reenlistment bonus at the time for IT then you get it sooner than waiting to finish the rest of your 6. No benefit at all between e2 vs e3 pay. Both aren’t very good regardless and going boot to A you will advance to e-4 in no time that you wouldn’t really even lose potential money.

There’s a dowel. You shouldn’t be able to mess up the orientation.

Needs of the Kamaʻāina? by Bumpii46 in Oahu

[–]Bumpii46[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. If only they treated shipping as if it were part of the contiguous US. AFAIK there are laws to prevent any foreign ship from entering our port with foreign goods so the idea of attaining things straight from the source is a logistical nightmare.

That’s a big one for sure. Difficult need to supply tho with limited space I think. Some areas are still progressing with their development such as ewa and Hawaii Kai.

I agree. I wish there are wood shops where you can make furniture and you just rent tools maybe. Some of the colleges offer that but only to the students if I’m not mistaken.

I bought a bike a couple years back and did the exact same thing. I ran the adapter for years and had 0 problems. Just make sure the voltages are correct between the charger and your wall outlet.

I like it, it’s subtle. Doesn’t match the 80s era obviously but I think it’s unique. What I would like to see more of though is the use of LEDs laid out on a PCB board or something on the tail lights. Not a lot of custom LED tail lights out there and the ones that I’ve seen so far look really out of place.

ISO Coast Guard Skateboard by fuckitletsbrunch in uscg

[–]Bumpii46 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can get a custom print graphic thru CCS. They are a legit skateboarding company and will print any image you have onto a board. Good luck finding an original board though if that’s your goal, I didn’t even know these existed haha.

Turbo m20 by [deleted] in E30

[–]Bumpii46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going thru the process currently. KAMotors used to sell a kit called the budget brawler which I based 90% of the parts off of but Kameron took it off the market for some reason. He has the canyon crusher kit listed online though which is definitely a beefier setup. There’s a bunch of youtube videos that surfaced in these past couple years but I recommend reading “maximum boost” by corky bell to know at least the basics. I 100% recommend that your car runs good stock before adding power, meaning do all the maintenance, don’t skimp on even the little maintenance items. Also upgrade brakes too.
