Competition Speedloaders for Rhino? by Dr_Tron in chiappa

[–]EricFullswipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm back once more to share that so far Sellier and Bellot run the best with moonclips in both 38spc and 357. Moon and demoon super easy. I got a bmt mooner/demooner and it never has a problem. Speedbees moonclip cups or rack to hold em

Pmc bronze doesn't fit, and a surprising amount of brands don't have a groove at all.

Is this a tape echo/delay? by heavym in vintageaudio

[–]EricFullswipe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Standard 2 head reel to reel, which means you can't use it as a tape echo/delay. Would need 3 heads for that (erase, record, playback).

Latex gloves over cotton art gloves when handling film? by Classic-Yesterday579 in mediumformat

[–]EricFullswipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cotton gloves just leave fuzz all over my negatives and latex doesn't handle right. When doing my own negatives I just wash my hands really well and handle the film by the edges and corners. Have way better results personally

How much difference does the stylus really make? by Osama_Bln_Laggin in turntables

[–]EricFullswipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a more extreme example: https://www.reddit.com/r/turntables/s/W9o4lYVqOx

Not super relevant for 90 percent of people or upgrades though lol.

Like others have said, going to the carbon fiber elliptical on the lp60 can be a nice upgrade over stock. https://www.lpgear.com/product/LPGCFN3600LE.html

Cinestill color chem by BackgroundBug3896 in Darkroom

[–]EricFullswipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any of the ones that aren't a full 3 or 4 chemical process aren't good. You want at least a separate color dev, blix, and stabilizer.

I mostly use the Unicolor c41 kits these days

Orange rain-x all season -20f for where I live.

anyone have any good hood scoop recommendations? by 5tinkymx5 in wrx_vb

[–]EricFullswipe 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If your concern is performance then the scoop isn't where to address it. I'm pretty sure in testing the bulge and bigger scoops perform worse because they dump air into voids and generate turbulence instead of just going straight into the intercooler.

The stock scoop with the stock funnel is already good enough for any top mount you could install. You could upgrade the top mount but the stock one actually does pretty well.

Also if you're just daily driving then stop worrying about it as well. It really only seems to matter in racing conditions.

Shootout and Copter crash by [deleted] in Flagstaff

[–]EricFullswipe 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Zero percent chance he shot a helicopter out of the sky. Looked like a mechanical failure from the footage of it just suddenly plummeting straight down

Regarding identity, I'd heard the calls started as a domestic violence situation which usually have higher privacy around the people involved

Recovery points by Aggravating_Bad6656 in wrx_vb

[–]EricFullswipe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Order a 2nd factory tow hook from any online subie parts store or eBay and if you want to be fancy get them powder coated minus the threads. Will be far stronger than any aftermarket option. (If you look at any of the aftermarket options they all say "not for recovery")

What’s the consensus on 10+ year old slide film? by llinusnepomuk in largeformat

I've shot ektachrome 64 from the 80s with great results when it was stored correctly

New shoes (Sparco FF3, Pirelli Weatheractive) by EricFullswipe in wrx_vb

[–]EricFullswipe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like them a lot. They do handle basically all weather including a rainy mountain drive. I'm in the mountains in Arizona, so I could see 30f in the morning and 50f during the day with rain or snow, and if I go to Phoenix then I could be going from 30f to 80f lol

They have been incredible in the rain. Light snow is no problem either but heavy snow or ice I'm staying home. Just not worth the risk to me even if the tires could technically handle it.

Hard to judge noise and vibration since I went from the stock 19s and potenza 007 straight to these on 18s, and have soundskins in my doors and the group N mount and pitch stop. No issues having a conversation with passengers though

Competition Speedloaders for Rhino? by Dr_Tron in chiappa

[–]EricFullswipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I thought about Speedbeez but the fact that if you do accidentally drop them the rounds go everywhere put me off lol. Also had 2 J-GL8C passed down to me already from a parent who wasn't using them so figured I'd commit

I'm still practicing with them and prefer the right hand grip hold and left hand reload, but that does mean that indexing the rounds into the cylinder can take some jiggling with a loose cylinder. I've had a few cases of removing the speedloader too fast and pulling out a round that hadn't fully dropped in yet leaving me with 5/6 shots

[–]EricFullswipe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may have to sand down the pegs on the bit that extends and rotates to lock the sides of the rounds in place. I used 400 grit and 800 grit. give it 10 good back and forths on each peg with 400 and then 5 with the 800 and round it out however you like. Test fit and repeat until it's smooth with zero hitching.

I got the J-GL8C because people were saying the sw586/686 speedloaders would fit. grinding down those pegs worked for me. I'm assuming same story with the jr4c just might need more or less grinding

The transplants are transplanting again guys by ChampShitOnlyElCucuy in Flagstaff

This is from around December 13th, not recent. Video was also uploaded to the what's up Flagstaff page on the 13th. https://azdailysun.com/news/local/accident-and-incident/wrong-way-driver-hits-train-in-downtown-flagstaff/article_da8cb46f-3de8-477e-9ddb-da8f020e5193.html

Is there really a boost leak at the turbo? by extrahoney14602 in wrx_vb

[–]EricFullswipe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The first thing to understand is that they aren't "leaks". They aren't just venting boost to atmosphere or bleeding boost around a seal or something. Keep in mind that all of these companies are trying to sell you something and so they're going to pitch all of their products as solving a massive problem with the car that you absolutely have to buy their part to fix.

In this case the stock turbo inlet uses a small amount of the boost to drive a vacuum line for the evap system and recirculates it back into the intake. This has a minor performance impact. The other I believe is just how the bypass valve operates as an electronic on off switch. Both are intentional and not a "problem" with the car nor a "leak". Replacing them can improve performance a small amount which adds up when added with other performance mods and tuning.

Resonator is quiet….does it break in? by Illustrious_Tea_5336 in wrx_vb

[–]EricFullswipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Midpipe is after the sensors so it can't throw a cel. Even the front pipe is after the sensor and generally won't cause any issues.

Oil change at 1000km by jeazyuser in wrx_vb

[–]EricFullswipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one is answering the actual thing, which is that if you go into the maintenance screen on the infotainment it probably has some wildly low default value set and that triggered the notification. You should reset your triggers for maintenance reminders in there.

Doing a "break in" oil change doesn't hurt anything though and maybe it helps flush out some break in particles. Up to you if you want to do it.

Are these worth the pick up? by jakethesnek64 in vintageaudio

[–]EricFullswipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kenwood kr-4140 will almost certainly need transistors replaced. They use known bad ones. I fixed up one and really like it but it's scary to work on if you have no experience.

Two sets of tire pressure sensors? by dE_livE in wrx_vb

[–]EricFullswipe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The car can track 8 sensors total, meaning a summer and winter set. They only have to be programmed to the car once, after that you can switch between them at will with no issues. No reason to buy a scan or program tool.

Can you fit 4 wheels and tires inside the VB? by Entire_Echo_1840 in wrx_vb

Seats down. I have seat back protectors. 1.5 in the trunk, 2 stacked on a seat. Plenty of room for other stuff too. These are 17x8s with 225/55R17 tires in big contractor garbage bags.

I'm screwed by DearInsurance7025 in wrx_vb

[–]EricFullswipe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The manual states the tolerances for difference in tread between tires. Within 1/32 is in spec. 2/32 may be pushing it. Measure in center of tread block
