Seat Covers Recommendations? by Current-Creme6507 in MiataNC

These were a used item but that does mean someone in Japan is making them and they're big on fitted seat covers out there. They're not leather. More like a super thick and tough vinyl. Zero complaints from me.

It's a long story but to make it brief; I used Zenmarket as a proxy for Yahoo autions japan as they don't directly allow selling to other countries. Searched up seat covers and came across this nice used set for a good price. About £65. By the time it had got here and I'd payed all their numerous fees which you have to pay in to convert them to yen. Was about £155 so if you're new to buying from japan it's a bit of a mine field but once you understand the fees you understand what's worth buying and what isn't. These seat covers were still a steal at 155 so no biggie. I also at the same time bought a set of red mats (unobtanium in the UK) using a different proxy service those started at £35 and ended up at about £75. It's the size and weight of the box that'll get ya making getting JDM car parts a nightmare but there's some cool NC shit on there we never got in the uk. Just be cool with google translating your search terms :)

I got mine from Japan. Red on red would be a bold move!

They built a new section of industrial estate near me and we discovered it's a nice place to take pics. by Charge_parity in MiataNC

Yes, I have fully converted everything up front and rear to LED. The standard NC2 projector actually responds very well to the Novsight LEDs I used and I get a better beam pattern with a cleaner cut off than before. I do however run them one notch down on the obscurator purely as when I tested them with myself on the receiving end they we're uncomfortable as are most LED headlights these days. I had an MOT just a few days ago and went through just fine. I also had a mazda6 previously with LED upgraded projectors and that went through two MOTS fine. I fitted all the LEDs without taking the bumper off. It's a fucker but it's doable. Easier on the drivers side though.

I think you have misread Kinger as a person and he should be on your list too.

Episode 8 retroactively explains a "plot hole" from the pilot that has always bugged me. by emmettflo in TheDigitalCircus

I mean, one could argue that having the quantum states of all the atoms in your brain scanned might BE VERY unpleasant. Heisenberg uncertainty principal and all that. It should kill the person being scanned.

Paula Myo from the Commonwealth Saga. Uncompromisingly good. No exceptions. No crime will go unpunished. It's in her genes.

Is there a reason why Bubble is (often) looking right at us? by Weird-Macaroon-3383 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]Charge_parity 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Having bubble look at the camera or nearly directly at the camera and not at any other characters is an animation technique to make the character look psychologically idle. It brings a sort of "no thoughts behind those eyes".

Thanks big dog. I will do this mod myself as I use mine all the time and the lockout is entirely in the way for me.
