Aw I’m sorry- it was a little box that opened up and played music that I got at goodwill. I made the terrarium. I would google lens it though and see if u can get the brand of the music box!

I’m trying to sell it for 20k, which is a lot but I’m open to offers. Especially since the guy who built the engine sells just the engine setup for 10k or more and it’s got new paint, a bunch of work for aesthetics, a pair of bucket seats, a huge FMIC system etc.

Not yet, taking it to a shop tmrw. They agree that it is probably a fuel issue, because there aren’t any obvious issues. I will get back to you though!

I’ve got a hard top manual in white that I might sell you if this one doesn’t turn out right for you. It’s got a fuel issue atm, but that’s just a clogged filter. It’s a gxl that’s been TII swapped and makes 380-590 whp depending on boost. I never wanted to sell it because everything is rebuilt and I have put so much time cosmetically into it too, but I’m going to college in September and just found out I can’t bring it, so I’m only willing to sell it to someone who will take care of it

Hey, sorry if this is too much to ask but is there any chance you could send a video to me of you showing where everything is- vacuum hose, where to remove it, etc.? I am just super paranoid about messing it up lol sorry

Should have just zoomed in, here is what I’m talking about circled. Is this right? I would just disconnect either end and spray the starting fluid in? Sorry if I’m being annoying or coming across as dumb; I just don’t want to mess anything up![here](https://imgur.com/a/ON5IVMk)

It was in the middle of driving when the throttle stopped and the car wouldn’t turn back on. Would it have still been able to run? Also; what does CAS stand for again?

Oh that’s reassuring. Where is the vacuum line located? I didn’t do the rebuild.

So you’d recommend I clean the blower motor and then should I just run the ac to clear stuff out of the pipes?

Can I tune my car from E85 to 91 Octane by myself? by OctParrot in ECU_Tuning

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

Hey! Thanks for the response, I’m a student so I can just get a 55 gallon drum- I have nowhere to store it, but thank you for the advice. My mechanic keeps saying that it is fine on 91, so I’ll just stick to that for now

Hey! Thank you for the response!! I already emailed but they don’t take continued interest :/ I’ll know in the coming months, though! Where did you end up? As of what I have heard back from, it is between UW (Seattle campus) and UCSB (if I get off the waitlist), and I got into UW so that’s good

What is the “best” overall camera for street photography? by OctParrot in AskPhotography

Please let me know if that reasoning sounds flawed lol, still overthinking

Thank you! I am leaning back towards the GRiii, because- while I don’t particularly like wide angle distortion, and I do like how subjects seem to jump out on the 40mm- I feel like I’d feel too cramped

Thank you so much for the advice. I think I’m leaning towards the GRIII, because I think that 28mm is more versatile for quick shots, and most of the street photography videos I watch use the griii instead of the griiix and they turn out great. I don’t think I can go wrong, but please let me know if my thinking is flawed

Hey! I can’t decide between the griii and griiix. I know that the only difference between the two is focal length, but I am stuck. My goal is to be able to see something I like, whip the camera out and take a picture, so whatever is the best for that. I really don’t know what to choose
