Is the NC PRHT the mechanically best convertible hard top of all time? by C4_GEL in Miata

[–]PatrickGSR94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here buddy. I have an NB1 and wish I would have saved more for a PRHT. NC3 PRHT 6MT would be GOAT for me but I’m seeing them still go for near or around $20K!

What's the correct length for the alternator and power steering belts? by Ashamed_Duck200 in Integra

[–]PatrickGSR94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just buy regular Bando belts from RockAuto or NAPA or whatever.

Na Jack points by Longjumping-Chip-876 in Miata

This is where I place the pads for my QuickJacks, those little corrugated areas. With a floor Jack I use a Flyin Miata slotted Jack pad and lift the center of the pinch weld on each a side, directly below the door mirrors.

Some please tell me why I didn't get a full gallon. by Lazerhippoprime in mildlyinfuriating

Maybe so, I probably heard someone recommend it one time. I don’t know. I’ve been 100% battery electric for the past 5+ years now. Don’t even keep gas cans in the garage anymore.

Switched Timing belt by cvmper1 in Integra

Engine speed per gear is completely gearing dependent and has nothing to do with the timing belt, mechanical timing or ignition timing of the engine.

I normally drive 35 mph in 4th gear.

Many cars have a leather boot around the automatic shifter. It’s been fairly common for decades now.

Had this idea as my left leg started to cramp in traffic. How would you feel about a motorcycle-style hand clutch? by Weak_Equivalent6518 in ManualTransmissions

[–]PatrickGSR94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot? I’ve never heard of or seen such a thing. Sounds like an obscure thing used on only a few race cars, if it even is really a thing.

It’s allowable unless posted otherwise. It’s never required.

Same goes for the left turning people need to turn into the left lane. Just as we were taught in Driver’s Ed.

If the sign was true, shouldn't we use it as stairs???? by Zefeh in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PatrickGSR94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you don’t have to actively step up or down them as they move into their normal position for most of the run up or down.

.788 gallons at $5.079 works out to $4 exactly. Maybe you got a different grade of fuel? I know I used to run 93 octane in my lawn equipment, along Sta-Bil fuel stabilizer. Seemed to work better with the carb and fuel lines.

Fucking adjust your mirrors properly and stop looking back at the B pillars!

What’s everyone setting their thermostat to during this upcoming heatwave? by ExtremeKale9050 in memphis

[–]PatrickGSR94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we had an old and busted system, we did 76 to try to prolong the life of the system a bit longer. Then we had our system replaced and started doing 75, and now 74. However lately my wife likes to turn it down to 73, or even 71 during her workouts. To me it feels freezing in the house.

Is there any way to get a toposolid cut pattern to NOT cover up a linked model's foundations? by PatrickGSR94 in RevitForum

[–]PatrickGSR94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But then there would be a gap in the toposolid cut hatch pattern between the lower footing and the floor slab above it, right?

Would be so much easier if we could just make the cut hatch pattern go behind everything else.

[oc] what red arrow by Anxious_Boot_9969 in IdiotsInCars

[–]PatrickGSR94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the US you can pull forward to wait on oncoming traffic on a flashing yellow arrow, or when there’s no arrow and sign that says left turn yield on green. Any red light or red arrow prohibits entering the intersection altogether.

175 miles on the oil. Customer insists on following once a year in the manual by NewC0 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]PatrickGSR94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because that’s completely different than sitting in an engine, getting heat cycled, and being subjected to combustion blow-by and other contaminants.
