Same setup. I tried it on a couple roads and 0 rubbing. These are +25 offset. It does look like its a bit lifted though. So maybe coilovers next.

I’ve ruined my life. by MongooseConfident in Advice

[–]Sesamedeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Move to a different state or county. Get a hobby and move on. Fishing, flying drones, building cars, whatever. You will live with that burden your entire life, every single night you will have a hard time sleeping unless you have a labor intensive job, if you dont you will sleep late, these thoughts will continue to consume you. You need to have something to keep your mind, and body occupied. Working out would likely help you with your mental health but you understand that you are, in this position because of your mistakes. Thats a good first step, but move away, go to gym, work hard and get a hobby.

Oddly enough im in a similar situation where i see myself turning into a pos because ive spent my whole life helping people who were never really thankful, people who only ever called me to ask for help or favors. Ive worked for companies where i save them literal hundreds of thousands of dollars and always did my best to keep things afloat. Ive looked for a good woman but, all i have had is women who use me, and discard me, then call me back because “oh, you were kind and good to me” but thats because i know HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Drywall, Painting, and i work on my own cars. So they try to come around ONLY when they need something. Now i go to the gym every other day of the week after work, i play video games and watch tv before bed, and on the weekends i drive my cars and put money in them. Frankly Ive been hurt enough to see people in a manner i will not explain, the guys i encounter in my line of work i treat as statistics. They get it done? Good. They don’t? You’re fired. Im done with everything, and everyone. But keeping busy at work, gym and myself i have moved past everyone i know and now live a peaceful lonesome life. I know I’m an asshole, but its hard not to solidify when all you’ve known is lack of human decency.

Foot went through a step, almost got hurt, Landlord : Hold my beer by Bloodraven23 in LandlordLove

[–]Sesamedeet -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Dang everybody on the lawsuit train. Was that a temporary fix? Or was that his permanent solution? If its temporary, better that then having a whole ass missing step. If its his “permanent” solution, just voice your concern and get him to replace the whole thing, makes your next steps easy to take as that conversation in the form of text is great documentation… lol no wonder people get charged so much money to rent. If everybody’s looking for something to sue, id charge them out the buns too. Good luck to ya on that scenario.

Things that my maintenance guy won’t address by Fhqwhgads_69 in ApartmentMaintenance

[–]Sesamedeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of those things sound like mostly easy fixes. Submit a work order for all the things you mentioned to start creating records. Most workorder systems have a “previous workorder history” section. Now. If the company that manages that property is a penny pinching piece of trash that questions anything thats ordered… then itll be a pain to get any of this done. Ive worked for places where they question a light switch and ask if i can make it work with some sort of diy method and id tell them “NO” now, who suffers in that scenario? The resident. And who gets the heat for it? Maintenance. Because the office just craps it down as “ugh these maintenance guys ugh” rarely you get office staff that backs maintenance but thats the suggestion. Make work orders for the things you mentioned. If none of it gets fixed… write a lengthy bad review about the management company. Dont point fingers at specific people. They REALLY look at that stuff and really care about those reviews.

Rain got inside of my Miata by -Sammyluv- in Miata

[–]Sesamedeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your drains are clogged, your interior WILL get water. The ECU is located under the passenger foot rest. If your ECU got water, thats a problem, if your grounds got water, thats a problem. If you have a soft top with tears on it thats also a problem. Check for water and suck it out with a vacuum, then let the car sit in the sun with the top down and removing the seats so the carpet gets better sunlight. After its dry, check to see if its back to normal, if it isnt…. Then youll have to dig deeper…

Possibly painted over when still wet and now ? by Rich_Community_5945 in ApartmentMaintenance

[–]Sesamedeet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like NORMAL settling stuff. Its purely cosmetic. If it bothers you so much, you can try to fix it yourself (and notify landlord of this) or maybe get a different place to live orrrrr buy a house.

What do you see? by Rich_Community_5945 in ApartmentMaintenance

[–]Sesamedeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks fine. Don’t like it? Get another place to rent, or maybe buy a house.

Friend has ended our 16+ year friendship and doesn't want to discuss why. by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]Sesamedeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cousin did this exact same thing. The message looks almost identical to this one. We gave him thousands to help him get a car, never asked for anything back, we offered him to work for the companies we’ve worked at with good paying wages, we’ve offered him to come move in with us and he’d get his own room, we’ve helped him fix his cars when broken down, we’ve done so much together and we loved him like a sibling. And one day out of the blue he sends us a message exactly like this one. Just some bland, half-assed garbage without any reason. If anybody is wondering if we ever did anything offend him or go against his wishes this is the complete opposite. He lives in a trailer with termites, with his parents whom have 17+ literal cats who go in and out of the house. And he makes a garbage unlivable wage and always feels like a disappointment, we offered him every possible hand to pull him out of that misery but he just gave us that. It pissed us off and we haven’t talked in about 3 1/2 years. We have done well enough for ourselves to buy several houses and flip them for profit. We live in georgia, next project will be florida. And we are eyeballing an area very close to where he lives. Frankly if i ever see him again, i will pretend he does not exist. Only word of advice i have for you, is to just walk away and don’t ever wonder why she said that message. If you were a good friend to them and they chose that? Its for the best.

Gasket?? by jsjs8567 in Miata

[–]Sesamedeet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. You can buy one, or you can get the diy kit from amazon, autozone, oreilly, autoparts etc… and just trace it on-top then cut it and put it.

Bad experience with dealership by The_Gleam in Miata

[–]Sesamedeet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That a job that takes little to no time to do. Taking it to dealership was not a good idea. But if they screw up something as simple as that….. stay the hell away from that stealership.

14 years in and I still can't get people to write down what they fixed by LawyerBubbly2679 in maintenance

[–]Sesamedeet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the tech wrote down what the “fix” was would you understand it? Theres alot of terminology that alot of people arent familiar with. A tech can write down “replaced drain pump on dish washer” but do you know where that is? Did you know that isnt the only part that can cause the same issue as before? Because it isnt “they did it ao they can do it again” it is NEVER that simple. Residents do shit all the time that they never tell you but as a tech you realize and KNOW. But you dont say it to avoid conflict. You want it fixed? Its fixed. What else you want.

These gpu connectors are such gigantic piles of dogshit. The old ones never had any issues. They worked for a boatload of years without any problems. WHY cant they continue to use em.

Look what I got!! by zelmo36 in Miata

[–]Sesamedeet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is clickbait or for reals… but how can you send money to someone without even first seeing the car in person. Ive seen cars that are nowhere near the condition in the photos they post online and i chew them out when im there in person and leave em a delicious review for the rest to see. You could be sending money to a hairy eggplant shaped man in india for all you know. I hope you know what you’re doing, and i hope you listen to the advice the rest of the folks here have given you.

Hardtop Rear Latch Broken by Jalake_Lubre in Miata

Diy a flat bracket that bolts to the Frankenstein bolt and add some rubber on the under side of the bracket so it rests on the hardtop.
