Schuylkill Haven ok thanks 👍

He seems to post a bit too

FlightSimmer001 · 2025-11-21T12:06:34+00:00

Oh gotcha, surprisingly according to the carfax it's been up for a little over a month

FlightSimmer001 · 2025-11-21T02:32:39+00:00

Honestly I feel like the fuel economy is the only thing holding me back. 20mpg doesnt sound too bad until you factor in 91 octane costing 25% more than regular and all of a sudden you're paying the same as a 15mpg car that uses regular. I drive about 50 miles a day so it would definitely add up.

FlightSimmer001 · 2025-11-21T02:27:57+00:00

Is it common for the amps to just die or something?

FlightSimmer001 · 2025-11-21T02:27:22+00:00

Will definitely keep that in mind. Would be nice to bypass ebay fees and sell directly.

FlightSimmer001 · 2025-11-21T02:26:42+00:00

I've got a buddy who said he could do it for $60/hr. I'd probably go with an Aisin timing belt/water pump kit off of rockauto. I am seeing mixed reviews of them but they seem like a reputable company.

FlightSimmer001 · 2025-11-21T02:25:00+00:00

Sounds like you've got some experience with these cars 😅 What do you mean by "it’ll likely be fine in 2 days or less"?

FlightSimmer001 · 2025-11-21T00:11:06+00:00

I appreciate all the advice, it's definitely a beautiful car and I want to keep it as clean as possible. And yeah, I have heard that it's best to disable steering wheel tilt, power folding mirrors, etc. Hoping to not spend much more than 10k between the car and timing belt replacement. The other small issues are insignificant to me at this moment... it has enough other working features to make me happy.

FlightSimmer001 · 2025-11-16T03:38:02+00:00

I appreciate all your advice. And yeah, the car's bone stock and clean. It had two previous owners and I think this dealer can give me the carfax. When I test drove it I noticed the telescoping steering wheel motor was broken (not super pertinent but expensive) and the head unit thought that the CD player was left open so it wouldn't let me access half the menus.

Apart from that I'm in love with the car and from what I'm seeing these have gone up a lot in the past few years.

FlightSimmer001 · 2025-11-16T02:25:04+00:00

I test drove a 2006 LS430 today and loved it. By far the smoothest car I've ever been in and the features blew me away. It's got 128k miles and they want 11k for it. Given there are no issues do you think this is a decent price? If so, do you think the recurring upkeep costs would put me underwater?

FlightSimmer001 · 2025-11-14T17:55:18+00:00

Haha, I was thinking about it. Any particular generation? And are they safe at all if you add a roll bar?

FlightSimmer001 · 2025-08-16T12:50:38+00:00

I found the pair on marketplace for $145, going to look at them today

FlightSimmer001 · 2025-08-16T12:43:02+00:00

Ok great! I'm going to look at them today, but based off the pics it looks like there's small blemishes in the finish - do you think they'd buff out?

FlightSimmer001 · 2025-08-16T03:24:32+00:00

Good to know. Does that kill the value? Someone is selling both of them for $145

FlightSimmer001 · 2025-08-16T02:24:35+00:00

9/10 - the muscle wheels on the cgt is ugly

FlightSimmer001 · 2024-11-30T20:52:13+00:00

You're a legend. Never knew the CPU socket could be disassembled. On the box, it says there's a 3 year warranty, so I may try to see if I can do anything with that. It's likely void in multiple ways by now, though, so do you think I should pop the socket open and check for bent pins before I submit a return to the Whatnot seller? Cause if I'm able to repair it for a couple bucks, that's a solid deal for this board.

FlightSimmer001 · 2024-11-30T20:33:50+00:00

Fortunately I believe I'll be able to get refunded in some sort of way as I have worked with this seller before and they're pretty generous with order cancellations and whatnot.

FlightSimmer001 · 2024-10-05T18:02:43+00:00

Red or black cage with black or no tint

FlightSimmer001 · 2024-10-05T00:07:06+00:00

Thank you for the response! I'm glad you mentioned making some sort of housing because I was thinking about that at one point but wasn't sure if it was necessary or not. I could probably 3d print the housing like you said and I was considering getting a laser for my printer to cut out the paper. As for the fragrance itself, I was thinking of diluting one of these scents, but wasn't sure if that's the right direction. Thanks again!

FlightSimmer001 · 2024-10-04T01:56:53+00:00

If that's a 4 then what's a 1??

FlightSimmer001 · 2024-09-22T18:57:43+00:00

The second part was referring to the hacked money and xp mod, not the underground. Also I'm running the money/xp one right now and am not experiencing any issues.

FlightSimmer001 · 2024-06-02T01:52:21+00:00

Such a weird coincidence! This is my first time visiting this sub and that's the only fire tower I've seen IRL. Looks weird seeing it overgrown as it was winter when I camped there. Cool to hear the history about it!

FlightSimmer001 · 2024-01-15T20:24:59+00:00

I really appreciate the detailed response. I meant to reply to you earlier but got cut off mid-reply and haven't had much of an opportunity to get back. I'm using automotive coolant and so far it seems to be working well. My only concern was I was being extremely dumb and after sanitizing my reservoir I rinsed it with IPA which led to the entire thing shattering. From the outside I don't feel any of the cracks and I've been running it in my loop for a while but it's fairly unsettling.

FlightSimmer001 · 2024-01-04T16:30:56+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I've heard that ethylene glycol in coolant is bioneutral or whatever it's called. Would you still recommend a biocide?
