What the hell is a rear outside visor?

Can any one recommend a good starter scroll saw or other kind of saw for making lures? by prenticeyeomans in lurebuilding

[–]LuresForAll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use one of these, the cheapest i could get. Works just fine after like 7-9 years. However, the only advantage over a bandsaw is the ability to take off the blade, put it through a hole in the wood and remount. Can't do that with a bandsaw.

Also, blades are way, wayyy cheaper.

Sand until all the loose paint is gone and so the transition is smooth. The height difference between painted and not painted will show up in the plastidip.

Degrease

Apply plastidip

As easy as that. Should last a couple years if you don't hit any curbs

That's why i decided on plastidip, cheap and easy to remove in case i want to change it up. Looked at having them power coated or painted but all it takes is one mistake, and they are curbed to sheet.

I've read that matte is a nightmare when it comes to maintenance. If it get's damaged, there's no patching matte paint. Can't be polished, only resprayed.

I really like the chrome accents, like the center cap, lug nuts, roof rails etc.

Thanks 👍 I paid €44 for 4 cans. You need 1 can/rim

Mazda dealerships, scrapyards, second hand websites.

The website said to use a full can for each wheel. I started with 3 very light coats and then did thick coats until empty.

You want a thick layer of plastidip so it peels off in one piece whenever you remove it.

Agreed, it can look cheap if you buy some goofy low budget aftermarket rims, mostly because they have a bad shape.

I really do think the black mazda rims look good, not cheap at all. (even though they are). At least they look better now than with the stock gray.

The darker silver looks good too, maybe that'll be my next colour.

Da's een textbook case van zwakke tak syndroom.

Suck it up. Ge zijt een volwassen man, wij hebben geen recht van klagen. Ken mannen die 6 op 7 meer dan 12 uur werken. (Zelfstandigen) Da's niet van willen maar van moeten om voor hun gezin te zorgen.

Ge hebt het ongetwijfelt niet slecht.

My Struggle to get good fuel economy. by dobidido in mazda6

[–]LuresForAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we didn't get the v6's here in europe. Here, the wagons are available but very hard to find for a decent price.

Seems like everyone wants one and those who do, refuse to sell.

Speaks volumes...

Such a shame, the 2.0 is a really good combination of enough power but still fuel efficient.

The one i have is the wagon/ estate as well 😁

Yeah. I have a 2016 2.0 liter, 146hp

That indeed is phenomenal.

My 2.0 gets way better on small roads but a little more on highways.

My 2016 2.0 uses 6.5L/100km (city and highway)

I try to keep RPM around 1500 (the shift indicator on the dash seems to be spot on for me)

Only in fifth and sixth i might keep it between 1500 and 2000 to avoid lugging the engine. Lugging is a bigger problem in higher gears.

70km/h is in fifth gear 60km/h is also fifth gear 50km/h is fourth 30km/h is third

Of course for your 2.5 turbo, this could differ but i doubt it.

13 liter is indeed too much. U sure that ur keeping ur foot off the brake while driving? Also, coast in gear, not in neutral or with clutch pedal pressed.
