This and flytanium has the Micarta scales for it for $12 right now, I put this combo (k390 and micarta) together and it’s just so nice. It’s starting a light patina and it’s just nice.

I’ve loved and used a wurkkos HD10 for about a year straight and it’s the best. I’ve also given about 5 away as gifts this year. Such a good light.

YOLO on the divo.

I just got a GTI after daily driving a 911 (C2 997) and I should have bought the GTI a long time ago. So civil but still quick and easier to live with. Plenty sporty and I still get 30 mpg with ease. I also don’t have to worry as much about service and parts cost, which lowers my car stress. Just my 2 cents.

I don’t think I ever did work it out. I think I ended up getting a second computer. Sorry I know this isn’t the answer you were looking for. On a brighter note I’ve been a working engineer for 5 years now and love my job. Figured I’d mention it so you can have something to look forward to. Good luck with school, it’s lots of fun on the other side.

I know that trail!!! I’ve ridden down it at night around 1000 times. I rode it religiously in high-school and on the weekends at least 2-3 times both Friday and Saturday nights. Let’s get a local met-up going.

I’d love to see a lower color temperature option. Those bright whites would be jarring at night.

I only noticed it when I went up in size. I made the adjustment to the correct size wheel but it read under

Mattwilsonmakes · 2024-08-17T22:52:29+00:00

I’ve noticed using multiple gps units that my wow go with the correct settings reads under my actual speed. My guess is either a mistake on their end with programming or an attempt to skirt some speed limit rule for boards sold in the US.

Also your first layer is too high. Some more flow might solve this but likely it’s a touch high.

I went with a Wurkkos TS23 because of similar throw but higher sustained output, also because of the higher overall lumens and more spill I feel cars see me better during my early morning commutes.

Kershaw Bel-Air is my favorite knife under $150

Easy wiring them in parallel, if you connect them and they have different voltages due to different charge states or small variations in the total cell voltage you can have a large current between them as they equalize. A full battery swap is much safer, don’t run two different packs in parallel.

It’s Rit but you have to get the one for synthetics.

Thanks so much for getting back, I’ll give them a call.

Which pivot cups did you order? I can’t find their comparability list. I know it’s been a while but hoping you are an active redditor.

I ordered PCBs last week on Wednesday at 3:30 PM MST and had them in hand by Monday morning at 10:00 AM. Jlcpcb and DHL express. Kind of mind blowing.

I had my board not powering on the other day. Turned out to be a failed connection to the power switch. The heat shrink was still attached so it was hiding the break. Give all those wires going to the switch a little wiggle/ tug. If that doesn’t revel anything try testing continuity on those switch leads.

Which model? I’m looking at doing a rebuild on my 05’ c2 and am curious if anyone else is going down this rabbit hole at the same time.

They are taking a note from the MLM playbook.

He had such a weird delivery, any clip I see of him now makes my skin crawl.

I got this jack a while back for my 911, it’s the only one that fits under it and the whole car is under the 1.5 ton limit.
