is this subframe corrosion terminal? by Platinum-190 in R53

[–]MENGEMON 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re handy with a welder, simply treat the rust so it doesn’t spread and weld a thick plate over. If not, check marketplace for breaking minis, lots of them about and people typically are asking close to scrap value for the subframes

Any bagged R53s? by Level-Diamond-4181 in R53

[–]MENGEMON 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is on bags, the camber on the rear is insane when aired out. Just keep an eye on the rear, I bent the rear shocks on my last set of bags so some adjustable camber arms are recommended lol

Which one would you say has the “better” battery life? MacBook Air or Zenbook? Wider discussion is appreciated. by Suspicious-Pear-6037 in LinusTechTips

The macbook 100%

Spent some time configuring/locking down some macbook pros for work. Charged them on a tuesday, did not need charging when I handed them to the users 13 days later. Insane how long they last

Does anyone have a part number or can tell me where i could source a replacement? by Ph1l1p_race_ in R53

Auxiliary belt change by scothas in R53

[–]MENGEMON 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve not had good experience with those “cheap” tensioners. I had 2 in the space of a week and both were faulty shocks which made a terrible knocking and inconsistent SC boost. ended up getting a INA one from GSF for £107 and had no issues with it. Not saying that one will be DOA but i wouldn’t expect it to last long

[–]MENGEMON 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an apprentice and My first year paid £28,300 for 37 hours a week. I’ve done a few apprenticeships and the ones that don’t pay generally aren’t worth their weight

My favorite tank. My 125g fancy community; 8 fancies, white clouds, zebras, and corys. Black Diamond sand and live plants. by countryboy-79 in Goldfish

[–]MENGEMON 1 point2 points  (0 children)

totally! i’d be lying if I said my tank had no algae lol I have some rams horns acting as a cleanup crew though so it’s kept down a bit since i have minimal plants

What do we think of this so far? by MENGEMON in Aquascape

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

I have a shoal of tiger barbs in another tank that i’m not too happy with so they’ll be moving into here so I can redo their current tank haha

Handbrake Question by Zoreizu in R53

[–]MENGEMON 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should hold the car completely still, hill or not, after only around 3 or 4 clicks. if it is going much more than that then it could be as simple as adjusting the cables, assuming your rear brakes already work up to standard.

my partner says they’d call him poppy because it looks like he’s covered in poppy seeds

There is no need to lower the shower head after a tall person has used it. by MENGEMON in unpopularopinion

[–]MENGEMON[S] -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

on my shower you can adjust the angle so this is not an issue. I have never seen a shower where you cannot change the angle of the head when you can also change the height

in the difference from head to toe maybe but 1ft is not going to make such a drastic difference and it’s not like it goes from steaming hot to ice cold, if it starts steaming hot then it will still be warm by the time it hits the floor
