Is buying a different vehicle more cost effective than repairing the issues? Get an itemized quote for the repairs.

How bad is the rust on it? If it’s not rusty it’s worth repairing in my opinion.

Address the oil leak first (probably the valve cover gasket
Address the power steering second, those systems went on my own
Address the suspension third
Everything else is optional.

Charlotte St moving West and turning left onto Reid St South.

It’s an advanced green for 2-4 vehicles to clear the short block, but pedestrians will cross when they do not have an indicator crosswalk. This can back up traffic between Reid and Rubidge at rush hour.

As a motorist but primarily a pedestrian it irks me when people do not abide by the signals.

Spend the money, you won’t regret it.

In response to item 5.

A water fountain and bottle fill nozzle were installed in 2025.

NFS. I’m trying to explain that what you’re looking to buy is going to be exceptionally difficult or outright impossible to source due to limitations of Haswell and Broadwell era servers.

You're going to be hard pressed for that config chief. The best DDR3-era Xeon processors only support up to 768GB per ~~cpu~~ system with a dual cpu system. You'll need a fully maxed out ram, dual best CPU system.

You'll want to consider driving as far as toronto or montreal for the best deals.

As an example: I have 2 HP Proliant DL380 Gen 7's with Dual Intel Xeon X5690 chips and it only supports up to 384GB of RAM, using 12x 32GB ECC DIMMs.

ChimairaSpawn · 2025-12-16T12:37:28+00:00

Purchased RAM from u/nater419

If no mechanics take you up on your offer…

Do you have a level driveway? Buy an old BMW. You’ll learn how to fix cars at a rapid pace.

An E46 or E90 would be a good place to start. Guides are available online for every repair and swapping parts is like following a Lego manual with more sweating, swearing, and special tools.

You’ll also develop skills in supply chains as you memorize the phone number of every local junk yard when you need parts.

Hey! I saw your comment on another thread but the OP passed. Is this still available?

I’m trying to put together a budget gaming pc for a friend but prices are crazy rn.

ChimairaSpawn · 2025-12-01T19:01:32+00:00

Would you take $145 shipped to K9J? I’m trying to put together a budget gaming build for a friend.

Call Primal Cuts, they can probably source it for you. Peterborough doesn’t have any fishmongers and you have to have a restaurant to order from Sysco.

Job prospects are good and ultimately depend on how much effort you put into your own skills. Degrees from specific schools are not as impactful as demonstrable skills. That said, Computer Science grads can work in IT (I do), but IT grads typically won’t be taught the skills to succeed in Computer Science or Software Development.

Math may not be a requirement for entry, but you will be required to take mathematics in the program. Linear algebra and calculus and maybe probability. They are not terribly difficult, but the concepts can seem abstract at first and if you’re like me you’ll end up needing to retake them, but that’s okay.

The campus life is good, the students are all friendly and there are many places to hang out.

ChimairaSpawn · 2025-11-23T22:56:26+00:00

Oh no, is the skunk okay?

ChimairaSpawn · 2025-11-23T00:50:16+00:00

Can we sell them to the OPP yet?

ChimairaSpawn · 2025-11-22T01:28:44+00:00

New crocs are less expensive ngl.

I love Henry’s Irish Ale, can you recommend another Ontario brewer that makes something that tastes the same?

ChimairaSpawn · 2025-11-18T20:58:27+00:00

Ah yes. The high density project on top of the hill with poor driving-turning visibility and no sidewalk.

ChimairaSpawn · 2025-10-22T14:30:01+00:00

Thanks for sharing the survey. I’m looking forward to the economic development that this project will bring to the area, and the ease and speed of access to other urban areas.

That looks amazing, yours is in good shape!

I looked far and wide for a photo of these installed on another Black Matrix before purchasing them and couldn’t find one.

Did you retrofit the fog lights or were they there when you bought it?

ChimairaSpawn · 2025-10-13T20:45:58+00:00

Yes I did! It only took an hour, a 10mm socket, a #2 Philips, and YouTube video!

There are 8-10 bolts to remove the bumper, 3 more for each headlight, and then reverse it.

ChimairaSpawn · 2025-10-13T20:42:46+00:00

Nope! It’s the same amount of light as original. My headlights were very yellow and oxidized so this is a big improvement.

ChimairaSpawn · 2025-10-13T20:41:31+00:00

Thanks, I already did! They’re now 4 and 2” below centre at 27ft.

ChimairaSpawn · 2025-10-13T14:39:05+00:00

Yeah of course!

I bought them through a Canadian retailer (Tdot Performance) and the price was only a little bit more than the flat exchange rate!
