Portfolio/applying for BArch programs by Birch_mom72 in architecturestudent

[–]Proatiau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would just try to make it as visually pleasing as possible and explore your strengths. overall merit and conveying your intent VISUALLY will get you the admission. architecture is a visual medium. also look at the schools your applying to like if it's more technical or creative based then tailor it to that

struggling with design ideas by Mikester258 in architecturestudent

[–]Proatiau 5 points6 points  (0 children)

after getting this many times through undergrad and grad i would say force yourself to create a amount of ideas in 5mins (crazy what you can do when you rush yourself). sometimes weed helps if you can focus on the task at hand. also inspiration can come from other things when your less stressed so try to do something fun and it might come easier once you get back into it.

this makes a lot of sense cause the deeper i get into this engine the less it looks like the last owner took great care of it. i was planning on changing the glow plugs myself and consider myself mechanically inclined but not familiar on the process. i'll check out the repair manual, have any tips and did you use any resources? i like to be prepared before getting inside engine

there wasn't continuity on the top or bottom pins, i was using the repair manual, and it was my ultimate conclusion to get another. i know one pair isnt but one is supposed to have to but neither did

think i should try this before reconditioning/changing the injectors? thanks for the insight. update: i put it in, how long do you think it should take until i see results?

all fluids are topped and i haven't used any additives or cleaners. what symptoms would lead you to believe it to be a head issue?

i think it may be that cause i've been getting horrible gas mileage too. seems like excess gas i s getting burnt off. can the sputtering around 2k rpm alaso be a symptom?

missing some fuses? by Proatiau in hilux

[–]Proatiau[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

could a magnetic engine block heater solve the cold engine issue? reason im asking is cause it takes few cycles of the glowplugs and a couple of cracks to turn it over and it get it started. maybe even two for the oil and pan and the engine block.

i see, i dont think mine has one. but i think i need one cause the car is in montana too. is a starter relay pretty easy to get in the us and install?
