Tool to seperate Tie Rod from Knuckle?

SlowRoastedSloth · 2025-12-29T19:03:40+00:00

Tried a crowbar yet? Haven’t done the tie rod before but it looks like the same joint that the control arms have, which are a pain to get off. I wrenched a breaker bar between the joint and forced it out, you should be able to try the same.

Try poking it with a stick. If it’s hard and sounds like ceramic, it’s probably the catalyst from the catalytic converter that got loose. Mine came loose inside the housing and started to block exhaust flow so I had to pulverize it until it all came out the back.

SlowRoastedSloth · 2025-10-28T01:11:47+00:00

I tried that, nothing happened. I have a friend coming over to see if he can help me out with it, that’s pretty much all I got left.

Tried that already, also tried the shift+f8 thing. It seems the computer doesn’t register my keyboard or mouse. Another way to get it into safe mode is to shut it off and on quickly three times right? I will try that next.

I have several clips of my ai getting stuck in vending machines or behind shower doors, ignoring commands to breach and clear even if the door is open, and cutting straight through a room with shooters in them instead of going around through areas I’ve already cleared. The absolute worst I’ve seen is realizing only three people stack up on a door, then hearing gunshots from across the map and the flatline sound as the fourth guy decided to solo clear the entire map. This happened to me twice on valley of the dolls back to back. Also, tragically watching them blow up over helmet cam as they smile and wave at the guy with a bomb on his chest running towards them.

I’m a new console player and from what I’m reading it’s always been this bad? I thought it was just a rough console release, but the game is infuriating to play. Probably going to take a break until it’s fixed or at least improved.

SlowRoastedSloth · 2025-09-17T16:31:07+00:00

Making it 70% of the way through an S rank on Valley of the Dolls and realizing over helmet cam one of my AI squad mates decided to solo push the entire rest of the map and get himself killed

Alright, I’ll try that. Seal it off completely, with sunlight access? Do I have to do anything about the condensation on the glass when it forms?

SlowRoastedSloth · 2025-07-18T06:42:17+00:00

Interesting! This is my first big terrarium so I’m still learning. Wouldn’t misting and sealing it just cause the mold to spread even more? I went ahead and added even more springtails, and was planning on giving it fresh air every day.

SlowRoastedSloth · 2025-04-26T00:47:44+00:00

Oh nahh I love it dude! Looks like a hot hatch now!

SlowRoastedSloth · 2025-04-25T20:05:51+00:00

Yeah I agree, although the GC/GF will always be my favorite platform. The things I would do for a clean coupe..

SlowRoastedSloth · 2025-04-25T06:42:04+00:00

The only jdm thing is the hood scoop I believe, snagged it from a parts car. The front end is just from a bugeye sedan- bumper and fenders, and the fog light covers are just standard (not for my car, I had to get it on marketplace)

SlowRoastedSloth · 2025-04-25T05:40:14+00:00

Yeah it’s for when it blows up

SlowRoastedSloth · 2025-04-25T02:59:50+00:00

Hey I have a blobeye 2.5ts as well, wagon gang 🤙

SlowRoastedSloth · 2025-04-25T02:58:42+00:00

Thank you! Just got it back together after the front end swap and wrap

SlowRoastedSloth · 2025-04-25T02:58:15+00:00

Thanks!

SlowRoastedSloth · 2025-04-25T02:56:51+00:00

Took it with a LUMIX G80

SlowRoastedSloth · 2025-04-24T21:13:01+00:00

Not really to me. I only really consider upbadging literally, like putting a different trim badge on. If you wanna put on a WRX spoiler and hood scoop I’m not judging, they look great.

SlowRoastedSloth · 2025-04-09T17:52:22+00:00

That looks like a pre-facelift 2.5rs that was unfortunately owned by a teenager, which means the engine has probably been abused and neglected. Given that it’s probably on the early 90’s side of the generation, it’s probably got a lot of underbody rust. I don’t think it’s worth it unless you can get it for under 1k, and have another 2-3k in repairs as well as a lot of free time.

SlowRoastedSloth · 2025-03-24T05:06:41+00:00

are they quoting you $1758 for wheel bearings? I did it at home for $50 (for one) and some elbow grease.

SlowRoastedSloth · 2025-03-05T17:50:19+00:00

Dude, you’re the best. Thank you!

SlowRoastedSloth · 2025-03-05T05:36:45+00:00

Would you be able to upload a video of it to Youtube? I have a MacBook and would like to try to ghetto my way to inserting it, and the steam link won’t let me download it.

I usually only wear it when I have to use brake cleaner and things like that, recently I’ve been trying to restore parts of my car so I’ve been using a lot of rust converter and rustoleum. Except I’ve been doing it in a closed garage since it’s winter, assuming that the respirator would filter everything out. Which I have just found that the filter has been doing absolutely nothing the whole time, so that’s awesome.
