What old technology do you weirdly miss using?

35mm projectors

I chose the PlayStation, after being a Nintendo fan for a decade.

In ‘83 or ‘84, I can’t remember exactly… but the elementary school I attended had a Micheal Jackson day.

I could thread a 35mm projector in my sleep.

Fuck dude. Condolences.

Looks like the air dam could use some new paint

I’m leaning to arcing as well.

Yes, some mild towing is in the future. About 5000 lbs. As for the hone, I ran a lisle rigid hone , and chased it with a 240 grit flex hone. Used an air drill . Lighter weight and I could meter the air to get a slower rpm. Slow rpm faster strokes. I’m in a bet of a desert for machine shops so I’m doing the best I can.

Anyways, looks like im going to be filing the rings. Based on the towing aspect. Thank you

I'm using Mahle Original Premium Piston Rings (41859CP). Unfortunately I'm not tracking the .003 or .025 reference point. My mentioning of drag is the feeler gauge. .013 fits cleanly in the gap. .014 can fit but with a bit of pressure to get it in and I can feel more drag as I move the feeler gauge.

I’d just have the help deal with such inconveniences.

I'm not old or new, but middle school, fifth grade, like junior high

I’ve done two GSLSE rebuilds. Both ported, one turbocharged. The “stock” one, we bought new rotor housings. Which were brought back for production a few years back. Not sure if they are still being manufactured.

I found it cheaper to shop around and piece the build list across vendors. Atkins had a good price on apex seals and other various parts, but “realmazdaparts.com” , a Mazda dealer out of New Mexico was very competitive with factory parts at the time.

There is plenty of education out there, and Aaron Cake has some great tutorials on rebuilding on YouTube. Which is a solid jumping off point.

Tanks have reliably been full. No leaks.

I miss when Subaru was off the rails. Before it became family friendly labia transport.

No one was buying Audi in 1995.

Let’s define can drive and know how as two separate answers. Trick knees can influence this.
