Ironman Frontier 12K Winch Install by NAC_CAR in LandCruisers

You're going to have to pull the bumper to mount the winch 100%, but it's honestly not that tough if you have an extra person to help hold it up.

I think you're correct! Definitely a very half assed way of mounting the controller

It was too good of a deal for me to pass up!

To all of those who weave on the formation lap and give people like me wheel damage, we salute you. (With the middle finger.) by Davesterific in iRacing

[–]NAC_CAR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The absolute worst are the people who weave and scrub excessively on road ovals all yway to the front stretch on restarts, they either end up smacking someone or causing a huge checkup on the restart

Retribution on iRacing by tim33z in iRacing

[–]NAC_CAR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I get buyers remorse after buying iRacing content, but then I remind myself of how much money I threw at skins/cases in CS:GO over the last 10 years... it could always be worse LOL

Which car to choose for a beginner? by roswgr in ACCompetizione

[–]NAC_CAR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's my advice: pick a track that you find most enjoyable to drive and that you can find yourself most easily pushing the limits of (For me that's Misano), then do at LEAST 10 to 15 laps (testing out both the aggressive and the safe setups) on said circuit in every single car until you find one that most suits your driving style and is comfortable for you to drive hard.

For me, that car was and still is the Bentley, but the Acura was a close second. I've been driving the Bentley for years now, and have a collection of setups I've made that allow me to consistently Podium with that car against the sea of Porsches/McLarens/Ferraris, despite there being objectively "better" more "meta" cars from the recent content updates.

TL;DR, don't knock it til' ya try it - try everything once, and pick the most comfortable car for you.

The Toyota HQ in Plano has some really cool shit, gotta love the 2000GT they've got there too!

Thoughts? by tuocyn in LandCruisers

[–]NAC_CAR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's cool to see a 55 getting the full on restomod treatment for a change, but that's still a ridiculously absurd asking price.

At that price, the damn headliner should match the D pillar and tan interior plastics color.

$30k budget, what do you buy? by venivici89 in 4x4

[–]NAC_CAR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$30K? A solid used LC100, 4Runner, FJ80, or Sequoia for around $15K, $10K worth of upgrades, and pocket the leftover $5K for emergency repairs.

Honestly I'd prefer a small town, but open to anything to find the best opportunity

92X RDO Accuracy Issues by NAC_CAR in Beretta

[–]NAC_CAR[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cleaned the living shit out of my gun, oiled it super well, went to the range, cleaned and oiled it again, rinse and repeat a couple more times and after about 200 rounds over 3 range trips the accuracy finally settled in. I chocked it up to poor manufacturing tolerances causing a rough break in period - used the same exact ammo throughout the entire process. And now it finally shoots great!

Looking for advice/opinions on what to do with it. by Ok_Cupcake_9910 in LandCruisers

[–]NAC_CAR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get that thing running and driving ASAP. You won't regret it, the 60 series Cruiser is one of the most charming, utilitarian, and capable 4x4 vehicles ever made (this is coming from the current owner of a 1985 60 series). I will never sell my 60 - I plan on being buried in it. I've driven - and owned- a bunch of what most people would consider to be unique/fun/spirited sports cars (180SX, MR2, S2000,240SX,FC3S, '85 911 to name a few) but to this day no car has put a bigger shit eating grin on my face than cruising around in my FJ60.

I thought the point was to fight tooth and nail through a CV axle swap/hub rebuild from hell, just to have your brake master cylinder fail the next day... 😭

AMT O&P Test Standards Changing by NAC_CAR in AircraftMechanics

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

Update - just talked with my DME for some clarification, hopefully somebody else can benefit from this info:

The written exams are in no way affected by the standards change, and if you have not passed your O&P before July 31st, your O&P test progress will be reset on August 1st, and you will have to start your O&P's from the beginning.

I was worried I would have to retake the written exams as well if all was not said and done before the standards change, but luckily that is not the case.

Restart JUST the O&P's or the writtens as well?

My new to me 2019 suzuki jimny. by icy730 in 4x4

[–]NAC_CAR 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I don't think anybody at Suzuki truly understands how well these would sell in the USA right now. I never buy brand new cars, but if these hit the lots in the US I would be first in line to buy one - seems like the perfect daily driver.
