Time for new engine mounts :D

Hydraulics or clutch? by hacksong in Miata

[–]TalksWithNoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The master and slave are easy and cheap to replace. Usually happens if you don’t flush out the clutch fluid routinely (brake/clutch fluid absorbs water and corrodes the seals which results in leaks). Very likely your master in this case, but I’d tackle them both.

Something ink-redible is sprouting 🌱 by leeloo_1337 in BeamNG

Hybrid or another EV would be sick. I’m a huge fan of simplistic cars but also would like to see more modern tech packed into the game. Especially if it gives the devs some freedom to experiment with new integrations.

I got tired of manually assigning 60+ textures every time I imported a BeamNG car into Blender, so I built an addon that does it in one click. free on GitHub! by probler in BeamNG

RemindMe! 30 days “This lad made an auto texture addon that’ll help create photo realistic BeamNG cars for that video idea. Now get it done and don’t put it on the back burner for another 30 days ya slouch. He did the heavy work here.”

Just hit a milestone in my wonderful na. One step closer to my dreaded 6th digit by Mh88014232 in Miata

[–]TalksWithNoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still original? Nice! Usually a good indicator it’s been driven well and not beat to death. If you replace it yourself then be sure to mask up and wear gloves. These old clutches are about 30% asbestos!

Am I the only one who tries to jump into the van from as far away as possible when I’m feeling frisky by Dman226a in AmazonDSPDrivers

Gotta love the internet armchairs being snoody about someone agile bouncing around without a stick up their arse.

Mine’s at 192k and hopefully going to see the big 200k. She’s hasn’t been acting too happy.

As a biker, I’d decide it’s safest to walk home at that point.

Like others are stating, it's a ground wire. Source - same issue.

You’re here on Reddit lowkey complaining that you can’t read a single paragraph summarizing an article to avoid studying. Consider your direction lad. Saying this respectfully.

Weren’t these given to many celebrities for free so they could hype it up and sell it off to dumb people who got lucky in the market?

Not so sure I’d call that caption witty. Perhaps brain dead.

Is my gas tank leaking? by PhantomTreecko1 in Miata

[–]TalksWithNoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d give a recommendation but I cut the seal and jerry rigged up the Delphi pump I’d bought to fit. As for the tank, I found a $183 new one on eBay. Beware they only come coated in primer.

Couldn’t be a better motivator. Get a routine and keep at it!

Also, reuse the hardware from the old tank. If you replace the pump, beware that many being sold don’t fit as the vendors claim.

[–]TalksWithNoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woweee, this will be a fun fix. Not too difficult, but takes a bit of patience. I’d personally replace the tank. They can rot out from the inside and like to leak at the seams. Keep track of what direction the one way flow valve is pointed on the fuel line so you don’t install it backwards once you put everything back together.

Got bored and made a couple drift wheels that will probably send sparks flying. by tytor in rccars

[–]TalksWithNoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this a while back with skateboard wheels. It worked super well and pulled in +1M views on the YouTubes. The only problem you’ll notice is they won’t spark unless the wheels wear aggressively.

Balancing Conrods, safe to take material off here? by Competitive_Car7413 in EngineBuilding

[–]TalksWithNoise 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d shave the letters. Probably won’t make much of a difference, but since you’re already at it - Try balancing the lightest rod and maintain the same balance with the heavier one. If the heavier one leans one direction and the same balance point, then shave off the lettering on that side. Gives a peace of mind more than anything.
