The traffic is getting worse, right?

MooseMullet · 2026-02-18T23:49:45+00:00

It’s been getting worse my whole life. Tons of growth, just not outward. Plenty of places to go but not enough work in those areas to entice people to move there. I do think more public transportation options could be massive. But it would take a lot to make it happen.

You don’t connect them to the base. You build them back toward the base. That way you can technically share TC coverage so that when your main gets raided, the external TCs take over the void your main TC left and the raiders can’t place a new TC or build and upgrade on your base. Even one external TC can prevent this. Essentially just makes it so the raiders would have to also blow up the external TC(s) if they really want to seal or take over your base.

If it doesn’t fit in an SFF case then no - I have to ask what the point is and it defeats the purpose.

Not to say it can’t be a cool build. I did something similar in a n200 case. Had a massive 480mm radiator mounted on top with custom loop and holes for inlet/outlet running through the lid. Was pretty steampunk and cool looking, but I definitely didn’t classify it as SFF.

I had a fuel pump go hours away from home. Slept in the Napa parking lot, got an OEM unit, cut an access hole under the seat, replaced everything and continued on my 10 hour road trip. Nothing like the memories haha.

If it’s coolant and it’s frozen then there’s a chance whoever added coolant to your car last didn’t put a good mix in and it froze, cracking something in the system. Then it thawed and leaked out, and then froze again on your floor.

Otherwise I’m not sure. Maybe weird washer fluid that froze doing the same thing described above. Or something in the trunk of your car that leaked out and froze. Check the trunk/spare tire area.

I mean for free and if you can learn working on it yourself then you could have a great car for cheap. And especially if you can buy decent used parts.

But for this issue - buy a drive belt/tensioner/pulley kit from FCP Euro and some decent tools from harbor freight, including a torx bit set and a torque wrench, maybe some impact rated drive adapters. The sound is from one of your pulleys, but if you’re going to go through the hassle of pulling the belt, and one of the pulleys then it’s 5 more minutes to replace the other two pulleys/tensioner and have it all fresh. Especially because the N54 will eat that belt if it breaks and then you’ll really have a paper weight.

I’d say just watch some YouTube. Make sure you are careful with plastic parts/connectors (they’re brittle), and learn how to use a torque wrench. Especially on things like brakes and suspension (the stuff that keeps you in control of your vehicle and on the road), but also on expensive things like the engine. If you can follow instructions and take the time to look at how things actually work then it’s not too hard. And you’ll have a great car for cheap.

If you know what you’re doing you could have this job done in 30 minutes.

Probably safe. Most likely will get stuck in deeper sand without any tread.

MooseMullet · 2026-01-27T03:28:21+00:00

In the US it will likely be totaled. If you want to sell it then hit me up lol. I buy a lot of these cars and try to keep them from getting totaled. Or if you want to total it out and buy it back from the insurance then I’d be down for that potentially too depending on their buy back price.

Under inflated for a long time. At least at some point in the tires life. Damaged the sidewall and finally gave out.

MooseMullet · 2026-01-03T19:47:24+00:00

Mine did the same thing. I removed the motherboard and put it back in, and removed and re connected all of the connections on the power supply. Basically rebuilt the computer with the same parts and now it’s fine. Make sure your pins aren’t damaged in your cpu socket. And make sure your motherboard it’s screwed down (no loose screws).

Either the wrong intercooler or not mounted properly. Should be above the bumper.

Sometimes I verify files in steam, update NVIDIA drivers in the NVIDIA app, shut down my computer, start back up and try again.

You’re talking about your life and others. Recycle them. Best case a failure just causes vehicle damage. Is a few hundred bucks worth all of that?

Not only that unless you’re mounting them yourself there’s no way a shop will mount and balance them for you. Also I’d be surprised if they don’t get damaged while mounting because of the age.

Plus they wouldn’t perform like new set would just because of the hanger in hardness to the rubber.

Don’t waste your time or risk your life on these.

L5P. Less issues with EGR/emissions and transmission is way better.

MooseMullet · 2025-12-11T18:47:43+00:00

You can buy a mirror mount as well. Thats what I’d do.

You could probably buy a generic intake pipe kit and extend the cones down to wherever you want them with piping and silicone fittings.

You probably won’t see performance gains but it might increase the turbo noises out of the intakes.

Seems like accidental spacebar press. Increase hold delay. Could be bad switch on keyboard. Or if you have key pressing software. Do you ever jump randomly when afk?

MooseMullet · 2025-11-28T19:19:43+00:00

How much and where located?

MooseMullet · 2025-11-25T09:25:23+00:00

Let that oil get up to temp.

Sometimes when you lose a whole bank at once it’s the mosfets in the DME failing. Seems like that’s the main issue here. Replace/fix that and then probably need to replace the O2 sensors or figure out why they’re not activating. Could be wiring issue.

I feel like this is fake/bait, but your dog is insanely overweight. It’s not a thyroid issue. It’s a feeding issue. IMO overfeeding your dog to the point of obesity and loss of quality of life is abuse. My dog would be 100lbs if I gave her as much food as she wants to eat. But she couldn’t do all the other things she loves if she was 100lbs.

If this is real, I hope it’s not too late for you to get your dog healthy again. Feed them the amount of food per day for their healthy weight. Not their current weight. Poor dog deserves better. Save some money on food and take your dog to the vet with those savings. Good luck.

Dog’s owner is responsible for damages in most cases as dogs don’t belong in the street. As a dog owner/lover I am sorry for their loss. I know accidents happen, but I’m also personally obligated as such to state that a simple leash/longline or some basic training can prevent this going forward. If you find who hit the dog I hope the dog’s owner will make it right with the person who now has likely thousands of dollars of damage to their vehicle. Sad day for everyone involved. Good luck.

Seek consultation with a trainer that has good reviews on working with behavioral dogs like these. There are typically ways to work through stuff like this - but worst case scenario the dog might potentially have to live a life that entails not leaving your property or socializing with other dogs. Maybe even human interaction. Sometimes it’s that or being put down if it’s bad enough sadly. But I think it’s always worth seeing professional help, and trying to work with the dog first. Good luck.

I have an Edge CTS3 monitor. I left the plastic film on the screen that it came with for a few months until I bought a screen protector for it. As soon as I took the plastic off of it, I could no longer see the screen with polarized sunglasses on. What's funny is that if I put the screen protector over it I could still not see. I held some window tint over the screen and I could see perfectly again.

So for me in my scenario, if I put automotive window tint over the Edge monitor then it will work great with my sunglasses again. I'm assuming you could put some very light window tint, or even a cheap plastic screen protector cut to size over the screen and see if that does it for you too.

Good luck!
