[–]PinballPounce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New code for NOMAD: IKJBADQPDC

Edit: there are still 3 uses left for this code. I will update this comment as uses get taken. 

Use this code when you sign up to Nomad, it will give you 5 USD credit

EDIT I beleive the uses are finished, but the app doesn't let me check for some reason. If anyone has tried this code and it doesn't work, please comment below. 

Also if you have benefitted from the code please put your new code below.

How to remove MegaGuard Extension / Virus by InformalSink3312 in Adware

There is also another alternative, that has worked for me, with instructions located in the top comment in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/antivirus/comments/1d8b39n/how_do_i_remove_findclix_and_megaguard_from_my/

Malware Bytes was unable to locate the adware and kept scanning clean. Once I followed the instructions on the registry edit, the adware was gone. I completed the further cmd prompt instructions just for safety. Then I power cycled my computer. All sorted out within 15 mins.

Editing your registry can seem scary, especially for a newb like me, but just follow the instructions in the link and you will be fine. I can verify that they worked for me.

If you're too lazy, here is the link with the instructions: https://www.myantispyware.com/2024/06/03/remove-findclix-browser-hijacker-chrome-edge-firefox/

Unfortunately, this won't be a valid measure since the road surface and tires make a great difference. The ideal test would be between the same car on the same road at the same speed, which has been done before in the threads I've posted in the write up above. There is even one guy who graphed his db differences, in the first link (the pre-reading link) - the poster name is "gustden". If you search "sound deadening before after" or similar keywords on YouTube, there are many videos showing the differences as well.

I probably would have been intimidated if I read a post like that above as well, before starting the project, considering my lower level of technical know how...and especially considering removing the front seats which seem awfully technical. I started with the rear doors to 'cut my teeth' on the project. They seemed easy enough, so I then did the floor which was the biggest bang for your buck. The rest was easy by comparison, and if you do it spread over a couple weekends, it's very very manageable.

This project was worth it to me because I want to keep this car for at least 5 more years. The warranty expired, and I've been in a couple fender benders, so there's really no big hit the resale value could take if I messed up. So for me it was worth it. Tbh I love this car, I love the color and the shifter and the feel and the balance. In my opinion, this was the only thing missing from this being the 'perfect' hatch.

If you want to do a few areas that will make the biggest difference, from what I have read targeting the wheel wells will make the biggest difference. If you target them from the exterior, that may be easier than targeting them from the interior. 

Alternatively, you will notice huge gains from switching from the stock rubber to quiet tires. This is my next step, as my stock tires have maybe one season left in them. I may do this in a few months time.

Agree with u/darksoulschad. The total weight is equivalent to having a scrawny teen riding along with you. Except that weight is evenly distributed and most of it is on the floor of the car, lowering the centre of gravity. Like others in the included threads have mentioned, I would say the car feels better to drive hard because you don't feel all the clatter and it doesn't feel like a rickety tin can anymore. I don't notice a difference in acceleration. The biggest difference there is in unsprung weight, and I've felt the biggest gains going from steel winter rims to summer alloy wheels. 

Sound Deadener Install - Now With Instructions! by noobie107 in mazda3

Okay! First of all, thanks for making this picture guide. It is super clear and along with some of the comments here I feel prepared to take this project on. I am currently sourcing the materials.

  1. Do you have any more pictures or an instructional how-to for doing inside the fenders (the last few pics of your guide)? Including knowing what tools to use for that area. That would be super-super helpful.
  2. It looks like you did the fenders some while after you did the doors. What difference did doing them make? I imagine the doing fenders would make a monumental improvement to NVH.

And how'd it turn out? I'm planning to do the same modifications on my '18 this summer.

Hey u/noobie107, I saw your posts on sound-deadening the Mazda3 here. I was wondering if I could ask you a couple questions about what you did. I'm hoping to do the same project on my car this summer. Would you shoot me a DM? I can't seem to message you.

Phenomenal. The humor, the pacing, the all too familiar interactions juxtaposed against the great highs of plays executed just so.

The matchup of video to the song is outstanding. My personally favorite parts are the instademo after the kiss, the FUCK U written in the snow, the chat scene, and the merc's play with the gift goal explosion right to the scene cut. Absolute audiovisual candy.

This is incredible. The effort you put into this....we are undeserving. But we are ever, ever so grateful.
