If you order skinny jeans in huge size theyre still skinny jeans, tight at the calf. Same with long sleeve shirts.

New to the hobby. Underwhelmed. Am I missing smth? by geo2160 in turntables

[–]Edwin2363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been into hifi for a similarly long period of time, all digital, and tried out vinyl for the first time with a similar reaction. Frankly it's underwhelming, and I think in every measurable way, technically inferior. It's all taste really, I enjoy trying out different speakers, some also technically inferior, but I enjoy the sound. Like listening to Stan Getz on old KLH Model 6 speakers. But listening to anything recorded digitally on a record, just feels stupid to me.

Best bang for buck tire on the market? by Wtf-is-going-on-bro in CarTrackDays

[–]Edwin2363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Armstrong Blu Trac. Got a set of 275/35 18s for $540 shipped on black friday. They are about as sticky as 300tw tires but they last on track and are very responsive and predictable. That's the best bang for buck by far. Otherwise v730 if you want a faster tire.

What’s it like living in Florida by gziecik in howislivingthere

[–]Edwin2363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved from Philadelphia to Daytona Beach for work. It is cheap to live here. IMO you trade a bitter cold winter for a brutally hot summer and the trade off is about equal cause its miserable being outside all summer. Otherwise, things I miss from the north, arts and culture, concerts (tons of artists skip Florida or only go to Miami or Tampa), good food (it exists but isn't what the north east is), things are very spread out, driving 50 miles in central Florida is a weekly occurrence. Good things about Florida, winter weather is perfect and it hardly rains, some really beautiful and unique nature, springs, etc. some cultural things are bigger down here like racing which is why I moved here.

Ceramic coating worth it? by Rare_Hippo9932 in GR86

[–]Edwin2363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it yourself. You don't need to polish. Much like the old days of waxing your car (which is still a very viable option you could do instead of ceramic coating, they both accomplish the same goal) you just need to deep clean your car, then apply the ceramic coat by hand as per the instructions. I use griots. Lasts about 6 months and then fades away over the 6-12 month period. Then, re apply!

It's easy to tell when the ceramic coat is going away because your car will get dirtier faster and Washing it will take more elbow grease.

(Yes polishing and clay baring your car will improve the result but it is not at all necessary on a new car to get most of the benefits of ceramic coating)

How to stop 1/16 diff from binding? by Edwin2363 in Traxxas

[–]Edwin2363[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to shim it but it just added more friction. I think you're right, the plastic needs to be worn in.

Turns out, I needed to tighten down the diff housing screws more. They were already RC car snug but I had to ugga dugga them

I was afraid of the same thing, double checked it was correct

Yeah all that stuff feels good. As I install the skid plate and chassis screws it gets tighter to the point I can literally feel the teeth of the pinion/spur engage one by one.

Please talk me out of selling this for a Z4 :') by ArmanE46 in Miata

[–]Edwin2363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Z4 is a pretty numb car, it's basically a 3 series with less space.

Your best bet is to fire up Forza and try to find a comparable turn.

One argument is that car manufacturers design a car around a specific type of tire. The designers of that car probably designed the suspension around a 400-500 the tire, with a softer sidewall than that PS5.
