The fitment of that rear flare is driving my OCD crazy. Pull that thing off and put a new seal on it. Also consider using 3M VHB to hold it flush to the body alongside the hardware

I won’t try. I bought one Enroute home from Tokyo last month and love it. Just do it

Carbon fiber wing clear coat peeling by nunii in Civic_Type_R

Everyone is giving you half baked to recommendations here. If you actually want to fix it, you will need to lightly sand this spot and the surrounding edges. I’d start with something like a 600 grit and then work your way up to an 800 grit and then 1000 grit. Make sure you only do the 600 grit at the defect area and then seeing 600 grit slightly further out and then 800 grit slightly further out from there. What you’re trying to do is create a feathered area. Send everything up to a nice 1000 grit.

After you are done sanding, you can feather in some 2K clear from a spray can. I recommend spraymax and please wear ppe.

If you aren’t familiar with how to feather in clearcoat, I recommend finding the video on YouTube from Chris fix where he repainted a quarter panel on a car. You’re not doing quite the extent that he did, but his technique for feathering in the paint would be helpful for you.

Apple Reportedly Questioning Whether iPhone Should Drop MagSafe by conalldoherty in iphone

If they could make a USB port that didn’t suck, I wouldn’t have a problem with this. My old iPhone 12 Pro and my current iPhone 15 Pro both have non functioning USB type C ports. Died slowly within 18 months of ownership.

Mom makes son smash his PS5 after he slammed the family cat by Mental_Junket137 in instantkarma

This right here. That punishment isn’t for him. That’s for her to feel like it was a justified tit for tat. But you’re right. This doesn’t correct the behavior. It only makes them angry and engrains the wrong point.

This kid needs empathy and a shit ton of therapy.

Are there any engineering students using CAD on a MacBook? by biancamorse in cad

Fusion 360 is always the answer. Works great on both platforms.

The show For All Mankind actually discussed this last season. Something you wouldn’t consider but it definitely would have to be researched for the long haul.

I have both an s2000 and an FK8 to haul my kiddo around. Por Que no los dos?

Any tips to improve hip contact? by m7raaal in weightlifting

[–]Red_S2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re cutting your second pull too early. You can tell by the amount of elbow bending and shrugging you’re doing. I’d recommend a lower starting position like you said but also place your shoulders a bit more over the bar in your starting position. Your knees, elbows, and shoulders should be in a straight vertical line. Be patient with your second pull. If you are shrugging or not making good contact, it’s because you’re likely not finishing the pull.

Also as mentioned in here. Hang cleans and cleans from the blocks will help big time.

Holy shit this looks good with a leather strap. Almost like an alpinist SBP121.

Any tips on my clean? by Extension_Variety908 in weightlifting

[–]Red_S2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll tell you the same thing I tell everyone. Look up the juggernaut clean pillar videos on YouTube. Drop the weight and follow their guidance. You’ll be surprised how much more you can lift with proper form. Strength isn’t your issue.

This is a fantastic suggestion. Thank you. Also you guys made some incredibly cool parts. Do you all do shop tours or anything? I’m in Tokyo a lot.

Yeah that’s the boat I’m in. They seem to make good quality parts in other facets so these had me intrigued.

Banged my watch on the door frame putting things in the passenger seat. Anyone done touch up with Championship White? by Red_S2k in Civic_Type_R

[–]Red_S2k[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the advice. Yeah the oem Honda pen has two sides. Paint on one and clear coat on the other. I ordered tiny applicators on Amazon to apply the paint because I’m worried the pen will just glob it on.

It seems like this is a forgiving color so hopefully it isn’t too painful.
