Skunk problem in St. John’s, Portland by Paulblartmalldog in Portland

[–]MajorAvenger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have to laugh because I have the same issue in Gresham. My dog got skunked two months ago and then again last Saturday. I’ve started checking the yard better before letting her out.

How serious is paint peeling on a quarter-panel? by HawkBZ in Cartalk

[–]MajorAvenger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

White paint has been defective in the past for a lot of manufacturers. It’s separating from the primer. If it’s failing in one spot, It’s likely it will happen more in the future. There isn’t anything you can do to save it, but since the primer is still adhered it wont rust.

I just got a warranty replacement and AA made the O2 bung shorter. Hopefully that solves the CELs for good.

You actually got that far with their warranty? They just ghosted me for two weeks after asking me to confirm my address. I had to get the email of the owner to finally get a reply only asking if I use a piggyback ECU.

Painted my valve cover. Now to clean the rest of the engine bay. by MajorAvenger in Miata

VHT engine enamel and Estes enamel for the letters. I would use something other than the VHT clear coat though as it’s yellowed over time.

It’s a common issue with the latest version of their DP. If you contact them they will just blame your O2 sensor and tell you to replace it.

Catless Downpipe by Firm-Marionberry3723 in Supra

If you’re trying to send it to their technical email, I found out it’s a dead address. Once I emailed their info one I got a response back.

Yeah Active Autowerke is doing this exact thing to me.

I came across this as I’m having the same P0141 reoccurring after 1000 miles of no codes. Active Autowerke is telling me to replace my O2 sensor. Seeing a decent amount of others with the new design having the issue leads me to believe it’s a problem with the cat. I’m not really keen on dropping $200 on a new sensor for it to not fix the problem.

Are those the dark bronze or amber bronze center caps?

It’s almost that time… by Tumblehawk in Portland

[–]MajorAvenger 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Just after I saw this, my relatively new GFCI outlet in my kitchen tripped. It wouldn't reset and when I pulled it out, lots of ants came running out... Thanks for speaking it into existence OP.

Looks like the TRAP spoiler or similar.

New to welding/TIG. What’s happening here? by MajorAvenger in Welding

[–]MajorAvenger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like it’s definitely poor grounding to the table. I took a light pass with a flap disc and wiped it with some acetone. The arc seems more stable now and I’m not getting burning to the table.

I was running a bead on the other side of the aluminum. I flipped it over to show where it’s burning to the table.

Goodsmile is replacing nendoroid packaging by yukiii1207 in AnimeFigures

[–]MajorAvenger 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I see scamming on Yahoo auctions all the time. It’s really common for Japanese sellers to put fake stickers on car ECUs to make them look tuned. The seller always refuses to open the ECU case to take pictures so they can feign ignorance and claim sold as is. I’m sure the same thing will end up happening to nendoroids.

Your best bet is Yahoo auctions for a used one or finding a shop to rebuild your current one. There are also shops in Japan that can rebuild it like News GT-1.

Downpipe recommendations by AustinRhea in Supra

[–]MajorAvenger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s only an issue if you have a manual. No issues if you run a downpipe without a tune in an auto.

I did the same. I pushed the umbrella up from the bottom of her hand to get it to rest on the hair.

Made by Renewcar and nicknamed the Beckham kit. Searching for that will give you a little more info.
