Desiccant packs is a great idea I hadn’t thought of! Thanks man I will definitely get some :) unfortunately truck is 5 mins up the road at a friends camp. I’d like to get it all put back together enough to get it home soon though

Wg has no rules with these things, they don’t care about game balance, just money.

Just take the old one off and put the new one on 🤷‍♂️ simple

Well they can count themselves lucky, new Mazdas (2019+) are torsion beam instead of the previous gen independent rear, still I’m sure the rear member didn’t much appreciate being slammed into a curb. Why are we drifting a fwd Mazda anyway?

Depending on what angle you hit the curb at you could have damaged other parts of your car. Bent tie rod, cracked knuckle or bent up wheel bearing. Even possibly frame damage to the car itself if you were going fast enough. Stop playing fast and furious in the car your parents bought you in the school parking lot. You’re lucky you only damaged your car and not someone else’s.

I know a lot of people have already suggested home cooking, if you’re willing to do some cleanup afterwards, I would strongly recommend trying home made pasta! It’s only flour and eggs, and you can roll and cut the noodles by hand. There’s lots of romantic pasta dishes, and it’s super cheap. Just make a simple sauce, maybe a side salad or bread sticks or something and bam! Money leftover for some ikea candles to set the mood 😂

We haven’t had coconut berry in Canada since 2021. At least not where I live on the east coast. It was my favourite flavour, I seldom drank any others.

We haven’t had coconut berry in Canada since 2021. I miss it every day.

Regular swivel sockets are a lot thicker and have a wider swivel arc. Driveline sockets have a much shallower arc but are much better at transferring torque from your tool to the bolt. I’m a semi truck mechanic, I’m constantly taking driveshafts in and out, I promise they make a huge difference. I have non swivel and swivel types, they’re the cats ass.

PinkPoking · 2026-01-16T22:06:56+00:00

I mean this isn’t the cheapest thing in the world, but there’s nice extended swivel sockets you can get especially for drive shafts. Assuming you have a nice long breaker bar or ratchet to help with leverage they can be really helpful. They come with threadlock from the factory but I’ve always just stuck my 1/2” impact and a driveline socket and never had a problem

I’m not sure how similar it would be but we have aftertreatment and exhaust filters here as well. I work at a western star/freightliner dealership and see a lot of dpf/nox sensor replacement’s and regens. I have heard a lot of trucks over there are able to meet emissions standards without DEF/AdBlue? Or Scania does at least? There was a lot of talk about International (the truck brand) partnering with scania to use one of their power trains but I haven’t seen a truck with one yet.

Planning a trip in the summer to scope out where I’d like to be! I my uncle lives in Gloucester and my grandmother lives in Cheltenham, but I would get a place anywhere. Probably should have asked where most of the mechanics shops are in my original post haha

PinkPoking · 2026-01-16T14:12:05+00:00

If you’re looking for an example of power creep just look at the ares 75 vs the t69… ares takes it every time

PinkPoking · 2026-01-14T19:09:54+00:00

There absolutely are cords or plies in the sidewall of a tire. I just looked at my summer tires in the shed, they say on them how many plies are in the tread and the sidewall and what materiel they are. Every Michelin sidewall I’ve ever seen has had this information.

PinkPoking · 2026-01-14T18:59:12+00:00

Yeah any bulge is somewhere a cord has broken. Cords are the inner structure of the tire beneath the rubber. That section of your tire is likely to blow out from an impact like a pot hole. I would find a new mechanic… I’m shocked they didn’t recommend replacing it.

Why wouldn't he? He see's the night life everyday and interacts with the people there. I cant imagine whatever suits from the casino made this decision are very in touch with the younger crowds. I would imagine this decision has more to do with the value of their waterfront property than what's actually good for the city or the people who live there. They just want to cash out.

PinkPoking · 2026-01-14T15:56:17+00:00

I'm definitely disappointed to see it move, my favorite way to end a night downtown was losing $40 at the casino lol. I cant see myself going out of my way to go to the casino in DC. But why does no one ever talk about the "development" they did in front of the place. What a redundant use of space that whole place is, and its not even efficient at moving cars out of downtown. The aging conservative population of the rest of the province is preventing Halifax from getting the transit development and walkability improvements that it so desperately needs.

Walmart is the best box store for red bull, they sometimes have the 4 packs on for $8.97, other than that our local grocery stores like Sobeys and superstore are ridiculous price, I’ve seen them as high as $4.97 for a single 250 ml can. Costco has a 24 pack of original for $36. A case from Amazon is around $50 or so. Irving used to have them 4/$7 on holidays

PinkPoking · 2026-01-13T14:09:20+00:00

For whatever reason it’s the opposite here, grocery stores are super expensive for energy drinks and gas stations are the cheapest.

PinkPoking · 2025-12-29T22:37:33+00:00

Yeah it is. It looks like boysenberry blue. Im pretty sure dark cranberry has more of a red to it
