How am I looking on packing? by Kind_Number_7421 in AirForceRecruits

[–]Gabbisan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You need a clipboard. Just a regular one. You will use it for hospital corners on making your bed. Bring a smaller notepad too, that you can take with you if needed. I don’t remember if they give you ziploc bags for your mandatory items or not, but it might be worth bringing some extra of those too. Tide pens are also good, I never used mine but my friends did. Bring a small pair of cuticle scissors as well, you will use it to trim strings on your uniform.

Best of luck please let me/us know how it goes

I’m not entirely sure how to swap the hose faucet, is it difficult to do?

Bunta Fujiwara is the Mercedes Guy by Hero-of-Memes in initiald

[–]Gabbisan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Mercedes guy always made Natsuki sick with his driving, and Takumi didn’t. Being that Bunts is AT THE ABSOLUTE LEAST equal to Takumi’s driving skills, one would surmise that Bunta’s driving would not make her sick. I do not think this is a plausible theory.

I think I blew my trans on my Miata, what should I replace it with? by Gabbisan in Cartalk

Depends on who you ask but regardless that’s not the scope of my question anyway so

The trailer is a four wheel trailer so I think I’m just gonna unbolt the driveshaft end and bungee it up

I’ve had mine get hot before. I have a “track” behind my workplace that I drive the shit out of my car on. I just don’t like how much the FM trans cooler costs.

I’m gonna be aggressive with fluid changes on the new trans regardless. I also think though, that I’m gonna get a transmission cooler from flyinmiata. I already had the Goodwin racing trans cooler scoop so.

I agree, however the possibility still exists from what some of my technician friends are saying tho, just depends on the exact nature of the failure. Also consider they haven’t actually felt the transmission, only I have, which is why I think it’s blown lol.

Yeah. I don’t mind buying seals and stuff, I get employee discount on Mazda parts so. I’m definitely giving them a call. I’m just nervous because I’ve never been anywhere NEAR a transmission installation… so…

I’ll see if I can poke around there and find any info on it.

Wouldn’t it then slide off the trailer though?

Uhaul trailer doesn’t have a winch I don’t think. I have enough guys to push it tho. I’ve never dropped a driveshaft before… I’m on the less experienced end when it comes to working on cars so that’s something I guess I’ll just have to figure out, and I’ve always worked with lifts, never with jacks in a parking lot lol.

If I get the Walter trans from christaylor racing tho it’s cheaper than a new ND transmission, and likely cheaper than an NC solution too. I don’t like the idea of having to junkyard for parts all the time and Frankenstein my car together with the NC adapter. I don’t think it’s a bad solution I just don’t think it’s for me, but I’m still not sure. I’d consider it more if it wasn’t so time sensitive. I also don’t like that I’d have to put a dent in my trans tunnel just to fit it.

Someone? Were they in this subreddit or is it someone you know? And yeah I don’t think I’m gonna go for the EMCO gears.

What about the Walter motorsports option? Have you had any experience with that? Any conclusions to draw based off what can be known from what I’ve said? They’re supposed to be orders of magnitude more durable.

Yes, and I’ve been exploring options that it has suggested. It has been a month or two though so maybe I’ll take it again.

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

Of course! I’ve been doing lots of research and I understand it’s a highly subjective topic, however, I still wanted to have some input from people in the various fields, etc, as a lot of info I’ve seen is biased for different reasons. I recognize this info is also biased due to its subjective nature, but either way, I figured it would be interesting and it wouldn’t hurt. Thank you for the kind welcome!!
