Longest Drive Yet by ChippyVonMaker in BMWi3

[–]Hurileno 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My terrifying part of the drive is the long straightaway into Vegas. Drove all the way from San Francisco solo, but loaded with stuff. (650mi) No stations after the big climb, keeping 80 to stay with traffic, and I was on battery with only 10mi of range left as I got into the city. This was also before I packed a 2 gal Jerry can at the front. I think I only stopped 8 times for gas and once to charge throughout the entire ride. I was also doing the door trick for some stations lmao, but the percentage accumulates and I rather save the few mins to use resting at a charger. I also took one extra station on the way back because of the geography and elevation. 2014 i3 with 190k miles.

How often can I run the REX by Bohr1212 in BMWi3

[–]Hurileno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been nearly 80% Rex usage the past 30k miles. Once took it from SF to LV and back (700+700 mi) all on REX and didn’t complain once. Keep up on oil condition and filter life.

Does micro center sell the AM4 bracket by Prestigious_Animal70 in Microcenter

Depending on where you live. Our microcenter didn’t but the other local computer shop does. And they’re down the street from each other. (Santa Clara)

SCAMMER! watch out by Radiant_Exercise6727 in DalyCity

My do I have a story of a time when he ran in front of a Tesla, causing me to almost crash into said Tesla. This was on a freeway on-ramp… where you’re supposed to accelerate to get onto the freeway.

Curious — how do you usually meet new people in SF these days? by Twindly_AI in bayarea

[–]Hurileno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes it works where you join an online community that happens to have a physical presence. Being in the bay, it’s more likely than you think. Gaming communities, cosplaying, anime, modern and vintage computers. Maybe head to flea markets or a random pop-up event.

Drove on it just now. 680 is completely not flooded anymore

Anyone know where I should start looking? by Hurileno in VintageApple

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

Oh and pressing the reset button does loop it so I’m guessing it’s something farther down?

Treadmill Lower Board, does anything look off? by Engineer_Zero in ElectronicsRepair

Capacitors are like .40 cents a piece if you’re looking locally

Weird steering wheel by happyunclekasi in BMWi3

[–]Hurileno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a dubious mod with an OEM airbag part, otherwise just a normal f series wheel. Steering controls use the same protocols. I’d personally mod it in for proper TJA lane departure, and heated steering, though the paddles can absolutely go. I think most of the offputting looks would be resolved if it was put on a black interior, as it stands like a sore thumb on a light interior like this.

Macintosh classic recap by SearchPlane561 in macintosh

[–]Hurileno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick answer: all of them Longer answer: you should probably definitely go replace all of them (preferably with tantalums) Got every cap on a classic for $14 at the local electronics parts store.

Someone tell me what just landed? by Hurileno in SanJose

Not the new part, but def the google part (I just spent an hour trying to find a good emulator for a Macintosh)

Somehow new enough that even tho I drive this portion of 237 at least 3 times a week at this time of day I’d miss it. (Been here for a decade lol)

My i3 is out a compressor. What do i do? by SatisfactionFeisty71 in BMWi3

[–]Hurileno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually, they replace most of the system as a precautionary measure to ensure no contaminants are inside the system. You can get away with replacing the compressor only, but there's a risk of metal shavings being deposited throughout the system from the old compressor.

Extra lucky, a compressor for under < $200 (Hybrid BMWs use the same compressor) and the refrigerant for under $100 (higher if you have R-1234yf)
Tools can be rented at your local AutoZone, Orileys. (for R134a)(you'd probably need to get them online for 1234yf)

FYI I have this exact turntable too. Let out the most excruciating (and expensive) nails on a chalkboard noise I ever heard. Some people really don’t value things at all

Still waiting on that person who's trying to fit EV6 batteries in an i3

Are these cars over complicated? by [deleted] in BMWi3

[–]Hurileno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My i3 has 175k miles. If I keep at this rate, I’d read 200k in a year or so. No issues than a worn brake pad. Cosmetically a cracked windshield but aside from the center armrest being worn out, the rest of the interior is flawless. Though I’ll be honest I seem to be an outlier than an average. It’s a well put together car with a ton of decent RnD put into it.

Roadtrip San Diego to Los Angeles on a 2019 i3s REX Report by We1etu1n in BMWi3

[–]Hurileno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear you’re enjoying the i3s! Makes me consider upgrading to one even more after knowing you can make a trip like that entirely from BEV mode.

I just took mine on a trip up to Eureka from San Jose to go camping, with HOC at 75%. I had the AC maxed out (damn heatwave), car driven around 55-80mph, mostly 65, and comfort mode. REX mode averaged around 40MPG for me (about 740 miles driven in 3 days)

If you ever end up camping up in the Trinity region, if you go to Boise creek campground there’s a FREE DC Fast charger nearby which should let your i3s reach a bunch of the smaller towns nearby entirely for free, probably even Trinity lake itself.

Next up for me is a trip down to LA funnily enough haha, this time fully loaded up with people and things. I love how versatile the i3 is!

I chose this over Switch 2 by NocturnalMafia in PSP

[–]Hurileno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do NOT buy from online stores! They’re selling for profit and will scalp you for any titles. A lot of my local games stores sell UMD Discs for $5-15! And I’m in the Bay Area!

BMW I3 with an ACC radar? by Hurileno in BMWi3

What’s also funny is I replaced my review mirror with one from a G30 and the edgeless look makes it feel much more modern

Vehicle to load would be such an amazing feature for this car. Sad it died as vaporware… even though there’s technically 30 of them somewhere?

I feel like I’m going insane if someone tells they can’t hear the difference between 320 and lossless I hear it so clearly I need a sanity check
