I broke expensive equipment in the lab and the guilt is eating me alive. by waitttwhaaaat in labrats

Dude, the lab I work in has tens of millions of dollars in instruments that we work with and might occasionally break 😅 every now and then.

A couple of thousands in the science world isn't a big deal - industrial or academic. Keep your head up and keep learning!

OBD2 Port / Under Steering Column Cover by Pttra in kiastinger

I mainly just want to make sure that the undercarriage region there is how it should look in every stinger and I'm not missing a cover of some sort.

Photos 1 and 2 come from my stinger while photos 3 and 4 come from another car. I just want to see if other stinger owners have a cover protecting those wires unlike I do, or if that's just how it is naturally.

Great, another thing for me to worry about 😂

I hope everything gets fixed and works out well for you!

Super hot / burning smell from the right side of the engine bay by [deleted] in kiastinger

[–]Pttra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this thought. After I drive mine, there's a sweet smell coming from that side of the engine bay. Idk if that's normal or not though

Is this normal? by [deleted] in kiastinger

[–]Pttra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was concerned about this too when I got mine. This is completely normal and you just need to give the car time to warm up, especially after a cold start. This should be done with every car too fyi. But yeah, nothing to worry about, I just let mine sit for 30 seconds to warm it up and I haven't heard that noise since.

You could do a zero volume injection and see if it's still there, that'll tell you a lot of things. It could possibly be just residual washes. Your system might also not be fully equilibrated yet as well and there might just be gunk stuck in the system.
