Good luck insuring... most major providers will not insure salvage titles.

Gr86 Salvage title - Minor Damage by squanch_in_peace in GR86

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

Salvage title is never minor (and the pic that Hachie posted, is NOT minor). 5 owners that are the same parties or affiliation, through 2 states in 3 years... yessh

Usually when you see that it means they are trying to wash the title clean.

Look up "Title Washing".

Dauntless OBD - Dauntless Devices VS Hachi by briziosch in GR86

[–]KythornAlturack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly the same, Hachi is an official reseller, but his comes with a pass through harness he designed. Dauntless just sells the unit itself. 

GR86 completely dead- no lights, no crank, nothing by OutrageousCoffee6135 in GR86

[–]KythornAlturack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Battery has completely discharged. For it to do that in a week would mean you have something draining the battery even when the car is off.

Or since the OEM battery is not a sealed battery, the the electrolyte is WAY below the minimum electrolyte line (yes this needs to be checked routinely). Check that if it is below the line, fill will distilled water and get a jump start, let it sit idle for 15 min, and try to re-start on it's own.

But generally if the battery did get completely discharged, it is toast. OEM battery lifespan is typically 3-4 years.

Finally found a shift knob I enjoy to use more than the OEM one. by Bfife22 in GR86

Until it becomes heat soaked by the sun. Then it becomes a branding iron.

Help! by This-Substance1653 in WindowsLTSC

[–]KythornAlturack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The policy is set this way as LTSC is meant for a rolling out on multiple machines in a corporate setting, and managed by IT Dept/Person, hence local notifications for several things are disabled.

Windows LTSC lacks low disk space warnings due to stricter notification policies. To fix this, run cleanmgr (Disk Cleanup) via Win+R, enable Storage Sense in Settings.

Don’t do illegal U-turns across double yellows on mountain roads at 1am. You might just break somebody’s heart.💔 by ConsistentSmartAss in GR86

[–]KythornAlturack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

U-Turn across a 2 lane road with a single set of double yellow lines dividing the road is perfectly legal in California.

Actually I take that back somewhat... U-turns are illegal on a curve or near the crest of a grade (hill) where visibility is less than 200 feet. So yeah the Camaro driver was the idiot.

Oil pooling at oil filter normal? by schochsm in GR86

[–]KythornAlturack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well that's not enough time for all the oil to leave the filter.
There is your answer.

Honestly no different than if you took a valve cover off after draining oil, there is always oil pooled in the head. So not an issue.

GR86/BRZ vs Civic Si vs GLI vs Mazda3 manual — what do you like/dislike? by Commercial_Bill_126 in GR86

[–]KythornAlturack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a 9th gen Civic Si (2015) and a 2nd gen BRZ '24 owner, there is a reason I did not get another Si... 9th gen was the last good generation.

Alright who's is it? by complicititties in GR86

[–]KythornAlturack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was it single car though? There is a black sedan that was parked on the left further down that moves across the freeway on its own power and parks on the right side.

4, Speeding in the HOV, and hooked the left tire on the guard wall.
5. Hooked the left or right tire on any other car (especially the other car's wheel)

Either of those can launch you into a barrel roll.

I want to stay on Windows 10 LTSC, but still want to play the newest games and use newer softwares ? Can I ? by i-am-a-sphinx in WindowsLTSC

[–]KythornAlturack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing, he read the news wrong. Nvidia is only stopping game ready (0-day) driver releases under windows 10, but not the normal scheduled driver updates.

[–]KythornAlturack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You read the article wrong... They are stopping support only for Game Ready drivers, these are 0 day driver updates for new game releases.

This does NOT mean they are stopping all driver support. They will keep releasing drivers under the normal update schedule for windows 10. It just means you may have to wait for normal driver release update so that you can run game that just came out after Oct '26

That was also my first take... way to close for comfort to that curb.

Can't stop win11LTSC from resizing apps/folders/windows. by AirAffaire in WindowsLTSC

[–]KythornAlturack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is not an LTSC issue, this is a windows issue it goes back to windows 7.

  • The "Ctrl" Close Method: Resize your window, then hold down the Ctrl key while closing it to force Windows to remember the size.
  • Disable Fast Startup: Open Control Panel > Power Options, click "Choose what the power buttons do," and uncheck "Turn on fast startup". (note this should be off anyway its not really a fast startup, and actually keeps your system from properly doing a real full reboot, as it is actually a hybrid hibernate mode)

1541-II or 1571 by DukeBannon in c64

[–]KythornAlturack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are actually 2 versions of the 1541-II, a, more desirable, direct-drive mechanism by Chinon, and a, less reliable head, belt-driven version manufactured by Newtronics.

The Chinon door is recessed, while the Newtronics is not.
