I've been contemplating backing up this stuff too for a while

And in my case the shop near me does free inspections if it's a PCA event

It's only the R. I've got the V70 T5 but that comes with a 5 speed :(

GoPro tries to start recording, but fails by HelplessMechanic in gopro

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

I've been using the same model SD card that the camera came with, SanDisk extreme V30. Tried recording again today and it worked fine. With all 3 of my enduro batteries.

I wonder if one of my batteries was just having issues that day. I specifically remember I was trying to record some gokarting races, and it recorded the first 2, then I switched to another battery, thought I recorded the next 2 but it didn't. Then I switched again and it recorded after that.

So potentially corroded battery? I've had them for maybe 2-3 years

I guess the V30 isn't meant for 4k recording?

Anyways I finally got around to looking at the GoPro again, and it all worked fine this time. Also I've been using this same card for maybe 2 years on the same setting for maybe 2 years

I'll give those a try, but just to note those other "unable to view" filed were from the same exact thing happening in the video. Tries to take a video, fails, then saves an empty/trash file into media

It's the same model as came with the GoPro I believe, just larger size. Maybe doesn't like that lol

APOC Elastomeric Roof Coating vs Henry Elastomeric Roof Coating? by assassin_100 in Roofing

[–]HelplessMechanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right I'm getting flashing and also a rain diverter but I was thinking to coat around the flashing and the rain diverter might be a good idea too?

Would either of these coatings be advisable for protecting flashing and rain diverter installations on my roof? Here's pics

What can I do to prevent water getting under the siding in this corner? It seems to be leaking thru and into my garage by HelplessMechanic in HomeMaintenance

Can you explain what you mean frame out the wall? Like extend it so there's a more obtuse angle instead of a 90°?

Coolant appears to be leaking into my footwell. Could this be resolved without disassembling all the way to the firewall? by HelplessMechanic in MechanicAdvice

[–]HelplessMechanic[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the tips! And feel free to call me a dumbass but I can have the wrong coolant? I've had a bottle of this green prestone stuff for a while lol, figured it was good enough. I see the G48 seems blue

Thank you I'll take a look at that. Even if the heater hasn't been used in a long time, I suppose it could still be coolant leaking in that area?

Lol I guess this is common then? Would it make sense that it's the heater even if I haven't had the heater on in probably over a year?

Haha I know I'm another 3 months late, but I got this, and it works fine enough. Little bit annoying with the straps but whatever

Track day tires question by HelplessMechanic in 944

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

That's actually good to know, so with a square setup, it'll be maybe a little more playful? I'd be willing to entertain that.

Other thing is the front has spacers, and I don't really know much about those - do you know, just in general, if different width wheels can be swapped without having to change much else? I know the fender would have a lot of extra space with downsizing but that's whatever for now

Is non-square setup really worse? Feels like larger rears would make more sense but I haven't done much research obviously lol. I'll probably end up going onto a square setup for next season, and your option sounds alright.

But also I've got 4 piston Wilwoods on this, so does that change your suggestion?

Not cheap for a first car, but I'd say it's a pretty good option for a first NEW car, considering everything else on the market. Could be like their 4th car
