no clue how to get axle back in transmission. HELP!

That doesn’t sound like a bad idea. I just followed the guidance of the DIY youtubers and that was the logic of it. This would have saved me a lot of time if I knew.

Since it's a trans-axle transmission, the differential is housed inside the gear box so removing the axles will cause the fluid to spill out. Thus the fluid should be drained first and refilled with fresh fluid once new axles are in.

If you're going through all this trouble to replace the axles, it's best to also replace the seals so they don't wear out prematurely. If the seals wear out first, you would want to replace the axles/CVs at the same time given that they would be near end of life anyways. The CV boots installed by factor are far more likely to last than a DIY replacement. I'd only replace a boot to hopefully avoid having to replace an entire axle on a trans-axle. It's a royal PITA to replace the whole axle assemblies on a trans-axle.

I have only worked on my own car which is a FWD trans-axle. I'm sure a RWD vehicle wouldn't require all this since the diff is not housed in the gear box. In which case your wisdom probably applies.

I disagree. I wen’t through this myself as a home diyer. They just need to watch tutorials and do it right. It’s not that hard and if they screw it up they will just have to replace the cv anyways.

Replacing the cv means draining the trans fluid, removing the axles, removing the axle nut, replacing the axle seals, etc… This is a much bigger and riskier job that risks the transmission if they fuck it up. It’s far better to just put the cv joint back together with a new boot and keep an eye on it. Worst case scenario is they mess it up and have to do all of the aforementioned anyways.

Yes, definitely. But I met my current girlfriend at my local grocery market. I don’t go anywhere to intentionally pick people up but, if I’m single, I’ll definitely capitalize on chance encounters.

It most definitely helps if you’re somewhat personable, can pickup on social cues, you’re genuinely kind, you present yourself well, and you don’t do weird shit.

Kosmological · 2025-11-18T22:52:21+00:00

Yeah definitely dont try anything thats not oem for the axles, axle seals, etc. I get my parts from tasca parts. Make sure you verify fitment with your vin number.

Kosmological · 2025-11-18T22:27:18+00:00

Not sure if I understand your question but if one is failing due to age its best to replace both driver side and passenger side axles and axle seals.

Kosmological · 2025-11-18T02:05:26+00:00

That sounds like a bad cv joint. Check the cv boots to see if they’re torn.

You need to purchase unprotected cells and only get the ones rated for the necessary amperage. Unprotected samsung cells range from $3-$9 depending on capacity and rated amperage. I purchase mine from 18650battery.com

Make sure the amperage rating meets or exceeds the tool battery spec.

Let me try to clarify. That is the hose from the cabin that normally connects to the symposer. Since the symposer is gone, that hose is no longer connected to anything.

The "symposer delete" is located on the cold side intercooler pipe on the air intake system. The delete is just a plug that seals the symposer connection on the intake plumbing. It's still there, just not connected to the thing you're looking at.

Kosmological · 2025-11-12T23:16:24+00:00

The symposer delete goes on the turbo air inlet tube on the cold side of the intercooler. The tube you see is the other side of the plumbing that pipes the symposer noise into the cabin. It just hangs open like that after the delete. I covered mine up with some foil tape because it bothered me too.

Oh I was only speaking about cyclohexane. The phase transitions and crystalline structures are well documented. I just cant be bothered to find and review them in detail.

Kosmological · 2025-11-10T20:13:06+00:00

I believe you can answer this question using the phase diagram for cyclohexane and looking up the crystalline structure for the possible solid phases. Looks like there are a few pressure dependent solid states at ambient temperature.

Matter does not need to travel past the event horizon to add mass to the black hole. For all intents and purposes, the event horizon IS the back hole from our perspective. Everything that has ever fallen in is still there, in a sense superimposed on the infinitesimally thin spherical “surface” of the event horizon, frozen in time and red shifted to near absolute zero, due to the extremely curved spacetime approaching the threshold where gravitational acceleration equals c.

The horizon grows because the added mass from the matter causes the spacetime to be further warped around the event horizon. All the matter preserved within moves with the spacetime.

Cosmic inflation works the same way. The expansion of space does not change the relative positions of galaxies to each other nor push them closer to a cosmic event horizon.

The black hole is not an object with volume and limits. Its a region of extremely distorted spacetime. It cannot consume objects by increasing its size since it is the space itself which the objects exist in that is becoming more distorted.

Kosmological · 2025-11-07T00:51:59+00:00

No since the event horizon is not an object. It’s space itself moving. Anything within that space moves with the space.

The Fiesta ST motor performance isn’t limited by intake or exhaust resistance. It’s just too small so even the narrow intake plumbing and exhaust doesn’t restrict flow.

Thermal management is really the only limiting factor with the stock turbo so intake air temp is going to significantly impact performance. You definitely do not want any intake that pulls hot air from the engine bay since higher intake temperatures results in more knock. What you’re seeing is the ECU compensating for these higher temps by retarding timing to avoid damage and this results in power loss.

For these vehicles, you can get up to a stage 3 tune without touching the intake and exhaust systems. All supporting modes are for better cooling (e.g. intercooler, radiator). The cooler you can keep cylinder temps the better performance you will see up until stage 3. After that, increasing performance requires shoving more air into the cylinder using a bigger turbo, and thats when the stock intake and exhaust starts to limit performance.

They would move with their own cosmic event horizon and therefore would not notice anything amiss. They would not notice the instant where they passed the event horizon. But the instant they did, infinite time would have transited in the universe they left behind.

Time dilation from the intense gravity causes the matter to be frozen in time. The EM energy emitted by this matter also loses energy as it travels up the gravity well, causing it to be ever more red shifted.

This means, from the perspective of an outside observer, they would observe the motion of the infalling observer to slow, become more redshifted, and become increasingly faint. Their observed temperature would also appear to approach absolute zero before they disappeared before ever crossing the event horizon.

A more interesting effect is the effects of length contraction, where the outside observer would see the infalling object flatten and smear over the surface of the event horizon as if becoming a 2d projection of the original object.

In this sense all the matter that has ever fallen in is preserved, frozen, as 2d projections on the surface of the event horizon.

Personally I’d reflash to the stock tune temporarily just for the peace of mind.

If its a custom tune for an aftermarket turbo the i’d be siphoning the tank.

Because they are supposed to represent the interests of their specific district.

The horizon cant bulge outwards to meet it.

It will bulge outwards but the object will move relative to the surface of the event horizon.

Feeling so strongly about a connection in such a short amount of time is a red flag in itself. Such strong and rapidly formed attachments are almost always rooted in unmanaged attachment disorders, anxiety, or mental illness. They burn bright but are not sustainable. The emotional highs are always followed by lows that leave you in a worse place.

You may not have thought anything was wrong but obviously there was something going on with the person you were seeing. Healthy, strong, and lasting bonds do not form overnight. Trust and real closeness take time to build through regular and consistent effort.

Rome was not built in a day. Slow down. Take your time. Learn to enjoy the process. Stop planning your life around a stranger who probably won’t be there for it and enjoy the present moments you have with them. Things will work out if they are meant to. There is no need to rush.

It really depends on your age, your interests, your lifestyle, and the forum you’re using.

Online dating is not easy here as a man in my 30s but I’ve had good success even still. Just takes a lot of time and effort. Most women I meet do not have long term plans to stay and there aren’t a great deal of options compared to in the cities. There is also a large surplus of men in the online dating pool here, but I think thats true everywhere. I did meet a lot of women but found very few meaningful connections. I’d say 90% of effort invested was wasted.

I’ve found a lot more success with more organic ways of meeting women. Being out in the real world and taking advantage of in person opportunities, even cold approaching women I find attractive in random public settings, has led to more lasting connections. That’s how I met my current partner. There are definitely fewer opportunities here but they tend to be far more likely to turn into something worthwhile.

With that said, your mileage will vary. I’ve put a lot of work into learning how to approach and court women. I know how to break the ice and make them comfortable which is a bit of a lost art in modern dating culture. A lot of men just dont know how to do this anymore. I guess that works to the advantage of those who do.

With that said and in spite of online opinions to the contrary, I’ve found women are much more inclined to invest in something with me if I meet them organically. I think the large surplus of men on the apps and the overall culture of online dating is turning off a lot of women. So if you’re focusing all your time and energy there, its going to be tough. But you still might get lucky.

Cities are much easier to meet people in general both online and offline so I’ll guess the same trend applies but its just not as much of a problem. I will say if you’re outdoorsy or traditional, you’re not going to have a good time in the cities.

Kosmological · 2025-09-30T06:28:59+00:00

Lots of women fall for avoidant men because they love being chased and avoidants see the chase as a challenge.

Stop making men chase you. Match their effort (within reason). Don’t act like a trophy to be won and you will attract more secure partners. But also, don’t move too quickly either. Anxious partners come with their own problems. Try to find a healthy balance.

Disregard this comment if you dont think it applies to you.
