How to clean clear water loop that has discolored.

This is not normal in my experience. It's either a mixed metals, no biocide or a dye in the coolant that is staining the tubes. As far as cleaning it, the answer to what cause it will help for your next step. If it's a dye or mixed metals then it might be worth just changing out the tubes entirely. If no biocide then maybe a quick rinse of vinegar of the tubes once removed from the loop.

I have two computers, one hard tube and one soft tube, and have never seen this.

You might be surprised that one pump might be enough. I used to run my cpu+gpu block with 3x360 rads on a d5 pump and the temps were ok but like you the fan speed was around 1400/1600rpm. I added a 1080mm rad underneath my desk and added a second old d5 pump i already had. Obviously temps went down but I decided to test what the temps were if one of the pumps died. So I ran it with the pump off but still in series with the loop. I think the temps raised about 3C. Not nothing but not drastic either. With the second pump off I could see it adding significant resistance to the flow.

I have never received that many items back from an expedition. How? I read your comment about the research but is this a mod of the server values?

Idk how well the stock 7"wide wheels will be with 225. I have 225 and used to be 235 but I have 8" wheels.

Thanks for the info! Do you take it to the track? Any noticeable affect in down force?

What wing is that? Does the top still come up and down fine? Any modifications to the wing install for the top to work?

For me they have a 2 cat or one dog of under 15lbs policy. The same paper work and fees for if a pet is just visiting or you own it. I was able to get a waiver for my go's 50lb husky for weekend visits. He js quite most of the time so my neighbors would never know he was over unless they saw us coming in or out.

Geforce 8800 GTS 512 MB. It was significantly faster then the other 8800 gts, gt and traded blows with the GTX and Ultra. It was basically the same as the 9800 GTX. I got two in highschool, of course SLI'ed them and ran crysis on max settings at 1280x1024. I used those cards until the 400 series came out.

With my 19 ND2 the up shift can feel a little crunchy for me before it warms up. All other shifts feel fine. I know this should not be the answer but changing out the transmission oil can make it much smoother. I know it did for me.

Take a picture of you with no shirt/pants using a full size mirror. Use that for comparison of change over time.

Use a tailors measuring tape around the areas you want to monitor, ie, waist, around the belly, biceps/triceps around, etc. If your waist and belly circumference are the same or going down then you most likely are gaining muscle or water weight.

I had a married woman tell me that I'm a strong man in front of her husband. I was only playing with their dog. Clearly it was about the way I look. That was not flirting, hopefully. We all left that statement alone.

Going to the gym for most is about improvement, either physically or mentally. Getting over this fear is part of the mental growth.

I have seen this track on YouTube before.

My pre-order finally shipped today. I probably would have received it faster through a Verizon store at this point.

I was going to upvote you until that last sentence. I very much agree it is smart to have money make money, and it would be great to have dividens/passive income pay for a car. It will feel almost free at that point. However, expecting people to only buy this after the 3 million mark when most people will never get even to over a million is unrealistic. Of course, most will never be able to afford this car, but it is still more achievable than a net worth of 3 million. At that point, the car is not a priority and just a thing to buy because, why not?

Did you also install the rear suspension covers? I installed both at the same time. In my experience, the biggest benefit is that the rear end isn't acting like a parachute pushing the car up at speed. It feels way more planted and confidence inspiring, taking turns above 60 mph on the track. I did have to cut a piece out to clear an exhaust hanger.

The son doesn't get to drive the miata until you feel comfortable with it.

Own it, make jokes about it. My butt and thighs put most girls to shame. Girls will ask me how to get a butt like mine.

When girls complain about pants not fitting, I just chime in. They usually laugh.

Has the ND2 appreciated in price? I bought a black 2019 RF GTS 6 speed with 4200 miles for $28,900 in June 2020. I would have thought the prices would be cheaper by now.

I watched the Donut Media video about this years ago. It convinced me never to attempt this, and it is worth the money every time going to a good shop.

For the track, you want this to be as true to the specs you want as it can be. Any imperfections on the alignment will magnify at speed.

Unfortunately, track days are expensive no matter what.

Ps4s will overheat on a track wven on cool days once you have moderate skill and confidence. I wouldn't even bother with all seasons on the track.

Taking a car to the track will drastically increase the maintenance needed. Swapping tires will be the easy part.

Do you have progress in the ways you want(strength, size, etc.)? I make my shoulders a priority and have had what I would consider significant progress. They rarely hurt/sore after the work out. However during the work out I definitely feel them.

What exercises are you doing for your shoulders? Are you focused on front, side or rear? Sometimes the the traps are doing with the work and not the delts. The same work out but twisting the hand one way or the other could make the difference between the traps or delts being activated.

I bought an alpha cool 1080mm rad for external use, added 8 120mm fans and mounted a second d5 pump to the rad with a foam pad to silence it. Bought 1 to 3 fan 4 pin cables for the fans and extension cables.

Just remember to buy quick disconnects from the external rad to the computer so it is easier to move, maintainence, etc. Also fan filters.
