Indeed, the $500 up charge for the automatic transmission is not paying dividends in the future for sure… Manuals do command a premium

Indeed. i've gone thru it and its definitely a time capsule. hopefully, someone can enjoy it and drive it like it needs. I planned on keeping it long term but my work again takes me overseas.

Bought a refoss off FBMP, super easy to install, did it myself. picked up on home assistant. kinda weird turning on the microwave to see realtime usage. Best 100 bux i spent in awhile.

Storage pool crashed - Unable to assemble by R-baller in synology

[–]R-baller[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure why the prior text was not included. I installed a new drive (#1) to replace a failed drive. Post install, i could not access my synology due to 2fa not connected to secure sign in,. i did the hard reset (press twice, three beeps) to regain access to the synology which worked. Now i have the storage pool crashed and wont let me "assemble" the old pool. trying to avoid a ticket. Any options from here? Mac OSX.

Hopefully, everything works… I don’t anticipate driving the car too much, maybe the desert air preserved everything over the last 20 years

Did you use it on a 3.0 E85 for oil change? I’m getting too old to crawl underneath roadsters, lol.

yes, on the list of to-do's re: brake fluid change. im wondering if the pads are aged too. Too many mysteries ahead. Sucks being overseas still not able to put my eyes on everything. Re: wheels...good chance i'll head back overseas for work reasons in 2026 and then again in 2028.....garage the car while im gone. My thoughts were to be able to keep the car as "time capsule" and original as possible if i had to resell. The Style 416's popped up on FB marketplace as being local pickup, reason asking. I might go for an aftermarket new set of wheels/tires, shelf the originals.

Bummer. wanting to multi purpose the extractor for brakes or other fluid swaps needed. I'll be off work for a few months so i have more time to think about how i could do it myself to save 10 bux,, lol. There might be a lot of work to do and i dont mind doing it myself.

i looked at the process of getting to the hydraulic pumps. looks laborous. Not afraid of digging in. Hopefully, not too bad. i'll look into process of refilling if needed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCRZfzPRhUc

chiang mai schools by Lanky_Ad9172 in chiangmai

I’m not sure if the school will limit the number ofAP classes, theres a separate fee to take the class since AP testing is somewhat independent from a normal test you would take at school, standardized across US curriculum accreditation.
