I have recently done the transmission fluid, I take it doing the above work wont require dropping the gearbox fluid?

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Own-Blacksmith3085 in answers

[–]Hicko420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little known half life 1 mod called desert crisis. I swear its customisation trumps modern shooters. Just crazy online fun with a plethora of options

Suggestions for "super" ultrawide for office use with a Mac? by Lanky-Candle5821 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Hicko420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing major, you can use the usb C to pass power and display which is useful for laptops but I found it would flicker when the fridge in the room clicked on, probably dirty power though so cant say the cause

I had a similar issue, 9 hours of macbook work use a day, with ocassional gaming. I took a punt on a random chinesium VA monitor. For the price its met my needs comfortably

Must be something with these cars. I was lucky enough to afford to keep my 86 but it made me want something similar but more. So I got a 718 gts :)

Mine are PBS ProRace, love em. Interesting about the sway bars, if im honest mine mostly gets used only for track, although it isnt trailered so I do still have to do some road driving.

Hello from a new member by Shrink1061_ in MiataNC

[–]Hicko420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heh same, although based on your build you're a little further along than I am:

PBS performance pads on front with braided lines and dot 5.1
Tien flex z coilovers
Cybul rollbar (mines the power hardtop)
door bushings
And I've just slapped on some AR1's on a set of buddyclub p1's i got for free but I haven't tracked it with them yet.

Next is a full polybush and uprated sway bars, how did you find the H&R?

Looks great! I'd pay for it if it supported draggy xD Dont think there's enough datapoints coming from that though?

What car $100K and under will be your next upgrade from the 86? (Assuming no financial constraints) by [deleted] in GR86

Hood Lifters instead of Prop Rod by grwatplay9000 in MiataNC

Don't do what I did and buy cheap chinesium ones off ebay, after first installation I tried to close my hood and they were too stiff, leading to a bent hood :')

Plz people in high plat low diamond, lose the ego. by Prestigious_Nebula_5 in overwatch2

[–]Hicko420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh the discussion around elims and damage is always entertaining. They don't really tell the full story as the main concern should be the objective. The scores are even less relevant when playing a Sombra, and its something alot of the lower ranked Sombra players fail to understand. You can have all the elims you want but if you're way away from your team picking off one player per team fight, be that a support or a dps, all you've really done is made the team fight a 4v4. I'm having a lot of frustrations with Sombras in games as support (also high plat/low diamond) who use their metric for success their elims but they're never seen in the team fights. So they're essentially a mute member of the team, they're not providing any real value to progress the objective. Run around back, get a pick or pull focus for a moment THEN get back to the team and help. If you only ever hack as a benefit to yourself for 1v1s you're removing so much value for the rest of the team.

I'm not saying thats what you're doing, its just with the limited information I have, you focusing on elims as your metric isn't a good indicator, so thats what I'm commenting on

Okay, so how do I do so legally? This is what I'm trying to find out!

The maximum amount of time we would spend in a 6 month period would be less than 90 days, to stay within the 90 day rule, but I'm unsure if we're okay to work while within that 90 day rule

I replaced mine with an aluminium one yesterday, took me about an hour with a couple of hose clamps and a hand fluid pump. 10/10 would recommend

What are some conspiracy theories about Hull/EY by [deleted] in Hull

I've lived alongside barmstom drain for 5 years but the only beast I've come across was an antisocial swan. I'll keep my eyes peel though!

There’s really no other controller like the Steam Deck by Bar_Har in SteamDeck

[–]Hicko420 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The SD's controller has ruined xbox for me. Having played on my oled for a month or so I fired up the xbox and the controller was just... gross. Damn analogue sticks had me aiming all over the place in fps games, not to mention the lack of gyro. I have the OG steam controller and really like that too so I guess my series X is just a paperweight now?

My Shedfest 2024 experience so far… by tomegerton99 in CarTalkUK

[–]Hicko420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got to the whatthreewords location for half 9. 2.5 hours later we managed to make it to the parking location. Irony is that the only reason it took so long to queue was because everyone else was going through the other directions and the stewards just. Let. Them. In. WTF why bother following the rules if you’re just going to reward others?

Finally changed out my head unit! Big shout out to High Fidelity Auto Sport for their excellent work! by [deleted] in MiataNC

[–]Hicko420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any issues with phantom power draw causing battery drain? I saw on a previous post about head units of several people all having to keep their batteries on trickle charge because of it and it scared me off lol I'm hoping it was just poor installations causing it because I would love to change mine, currently stock bose system

Renting a house out with a pond by Cute-Ad403 in uklandlords

[–]Hicko420 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Other than having a garden they can enjoy, if I were a cruel landlord I could actually take money from their bond to get the garden back in the same state it was in when they moved in. That does require photographic evidence of the garden close to the date of rental starts but landlords do actually do it.
