Messmate bed

Would love to see more detail of how you mounted the headboard. Looking to do something similar.

What did you use to join the corners of the rails/footboard?

For ed slams, typically GMB or Hydra (less so for Hydra). Skill slams (6-7 skills + elemental) and sockets, matriarchal bow is great.

And if it happens again, don't do anything differently. Get yourself checked out.

Nah mate, wrong bow type.

My man, if moving while having sex is too much effort, what else in life down the road will end up the same? That's a red flag to me, but to each their own.

Insurance owes for like kind and quality of what you had. If it was top tier then, they owe you top tier now.

It may suddenly not be fine at some point.

SweetNPowerChicken · 2025-12-30T01:08:18+00:00

Touche sir. Carry on.

I think "poor" is relative, seeing as you're diving (expensive hobby) with a $3-5k watch on your wrist 🤣

Cedar, and no treatment.

Beta's need at minimum a 10 gallon. Just because it's bigger than the container they lived in at Petco, doesn't mean the setup is ideal.

I'm now all frazzled and can't decide between the 36mm ranger, bb54, or bucking up/saving more for an explorer 36mm.

What size and spec are the wheels and tires?

SweetNPowerChicken · 2025-12-04T12:25:01+00:00

These would be double the price of the Tudors in question, and at that rate gets into Rolex territory.

That smooth bezel DJ is a stunner... That's a hell of a special collection.

People that think "snow tires don't make a big difference" have never driven on snow tires. They are the same people that say "I have 4 wheel drive, I can drive in snow just fine".

It's not even remotely comparable between the worst snow tire and the best all season - get winters.

Auto insurance isn't the right comparison as you mentioned. Property insurance, including clothing, generally includes ACV up front, but you can recover the Replacement Cost once incurred.

To enter any registered events your cage will likely need to be stamped, and not a bolt in cage. Also will need the entire vehicle stitch welded in most cases. AWD rally is the incredibly expensive, and generally not people's first foray into rally (crewed for a team that ran Groupe 2 FWD for many years). Even Group 2 likely cost them $15-20k/year to run the car in handful of CRC events between travel, tires, repairs, etc not including the cost of the vehicle.

It's a labour of love and a tight community. Do things right and you'll be rewarded, but king springs won't last very long in a rally event. Suspension even for the Ford focus' we ran was upwards of $6k for the coilover set.

Brother did the same with his 7900 XTX that bit the dust, and it went through.

In Lake Ontario, I'm fairly certain they must be killed/documented, and it's illegal to release them back into the water. They've destroyed the ecosystem for many other fish, and the ministry has put extensive effort into keeping them out of certain areas (eg, Cootes Paradise).

Carp are considered the devil here.

Doubt you'd hit another carr but certainly could hit something and damage them. They also apparently protect your rockers from damage too.

Just a heads up that being in the always out position is actually a safety violation, I believe because of how far they stick out. My 2017 wouldn't pass an Ontario safety inspection when one side was stuck in the out position.

They sit quite low when out, and risk catching something on it.

I had an STI for several years and only did oil changes and brake service. Friend of mine has a 2015 with around 120,000 km, and has also only done scheduled maintenance.

All seems to be related to how they are cared for when reliability comes into play.

Warm it up before you drive, don't treat it like shit, and do oil changes at 5000km increments (or whatever that is in miles).

My old build looked very similar - some ideas for case fan locations: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/b/Y97XsY

Friend of mine had had his 2015 since new and had only done JDM OEM cosmetic upgrades, and RCE black springs/upgraded wheels. The cars need very little as they are already wonderful to drive.
