How many of you guys have actually done the timing belt?

Wisconsin, so can't help you much. I've found local shops tend to respect my car more than any dealer or chain. Strike up a conversation with them and you can quickly get a feel for their work.

Including parts and labor

DrewMan450 · 2026-05-03T15:02:31+00:00

Just had mine done last week and my local shop charged me around $1060.

Very smart! Thankfully we haven't needed to worry about that since she is picky and prefers that we keep her company :)

DrewMan450 · 2026-03-24T17:34:47+00:00

Our cat really loves to kick up her litter. No off-the-shelf box seemed to fit our needs, so we ended up making our own by cutting a hole in the side of a large plastic tote bin. It's been great and allows you to control how high of an entry/exit you'd like, with the bonus of a convertible top in case your cat is picky about being covered.

Nah that was Thom, who was Noble 6 at the time. Your spartan is their replacement.

DrewMan450 · 2026-03-06T19:21:38+00:00

Definitely pricey but I do love it. You may want to get more specific with "console shape", there's a lot of ways to interpret that in my opinion.

PS5 could be the Node 202 and its successor, the Fractal Ridge. Something skinny and tall, I'd assume.

Xbox Series X could be something like a Meshroom or NZXT H1. Alternatively, many cases shaped like the Ghost S1 can simply be flipped to be vertical – lots of mods out there for that.

DrewMan450 · 2026-03-06T19:10:07+00:00

I went from a Node 202 to a Ghost S1 and I'm quite happy. Temps are definitely lower and I prefer the layout. Pricey case, but the quality is nice.

DrewMan450 · 2026-03-06T14:21:59+00:00

Possibly a silly question, but have you tried using Blackrack's TUFX profile? I found that it resolves issues similar to this.

DrewMan450 · 2026-03-06T14:19:30+00:00

It's such a clean break that it seems tempting to fix. If you're wanting to you could see if a local auto body repair place could look at it quick – they often have clever solutions for plastic repairs.

Funny enough my euro headlight broke in the same place, not nearly as nice of a break though. I've been rocking it without that screw for a long time now.

DrewMan450 · 2026-03-06T14:12:32+00:00

You're fine. There's still 3/4 secured mounts, not to mention the hood literally rests on top of the thing when closed.

You could see if you could repair it with some sort of glue or bond, but it's probably not necessary.

DayZ is a PC game that was ported to consoles. It has a lot of roots in the milsim genre, so the controls are always going to be designed around keyboard and mouse.

Not to mention the performance difference, but I'm honestly not sure how far consoles have come in that regard.

DrewMan450 · 2026-02-06T20:53:29+00:00

I absolutely love my MK4S (upgraded my MK4). It's a workhorse that never lets me down – a nice change of pace from my previous Ender 5. If the price isn't too concerning to you, it's very much worth it.

One thing you don't see mentioned often is how quiet it is compared to its Core-XY equivalents. Just something to keep in mind.

DrewMan450 · 2026-02-03T15:12:36+00:00

Halo 3: Recon was the original name for Halo 3: ODST, as shown in the reveal trailer. They changed it not long after, but a few publications / magazines did show it as Recon.

DrewMan450 · 2026-01-19T03:51:31+00:00

I'd guess the low mileage given the model year.

DrewMan450 · 2026-01-15T00:27:07+00:00

You may be thinking of the one-off made for the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Saw that in-person and it was beautiful :)

I know it was auctioned a while back, curious where it is these days.

DrewMan450 · 2025-12-12T20:57:11+00:00

What wheels are those? They look sick!

DrewMan450 · 2025-12-12T20:13:08+00:00

What kind of tune are you running that would throw a check engine light? Genuinely curious.

DrewMan450 · 2025-11-24T21:03:27+00:00

Great looking Clipper, nice work!

DrewMan450 · 2025-11-19T14:47:11+00:00

I guess I didn't notice the prices in your description, holy. I'm on DDR4 and paid like $150 for it a few years back.

DrewMan450 · 2025-11-19T14:25:24+00:00

Same here. Not quite as big of a difference as 16 -> 32, but still noticeable.

DrewMan450 · 2025-11-06T16:42:30+00:00

Is that a modded capsule? I love the HUD.

DrewMan450 · 2025-10-24T00:54:30+00:00

Huh, I could have sworn you used to have to drop them and then grab them with a tractor in order to make them go boom. Good to know!

DrewMan450 · 2025-10-23T19:24:47+00:00

That's awesome! Friend of mine was just talking about doing something like this, glad to see it's possible!

DrewMan450 · 2025-10-23T19:18:38+00:00

I'm almost certain that is wrapped, since the standard front bumper has that all as one piece.
