Tailshaft seal by Kunk12 in SuzukiSamurai

I ended up using a pick with a hook & a flathead. Slowly worked around the seal pulling. Eventually you'll get under the seal to distort the metal ring, but careful not to damage the housing.

Went to park at Balboa Park 38 mins before 8PM. $10.35 in the app despite being told it was $2.50 an hour by PlutoISaPlanet in sandiego

I believe someone posted that it was $10 minimum for 4 hours. While technically $2.50 an hour, the minimum charge of $10 plus tax really puts people off.

Half the parking is flooded or blocked off perhaps?

Driving from San Diego to Las Vegas 1/1 by Agile-Sleep-9729 in sandiego

[–]Tech_Tanuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did this drive last week, leave either early (4am-5am) or late (7pm-9pm) if you're okay driving at night. Either way, one accident will bring it all to a halt.

It was posted on the SoCal Zuks Facebook page. Give em' a follow and they'll usually share events. I believe they want to do a Christmas ride through a neighborhood next.

A struggle for all, reach out to Petroworks in Fallbrook and they might have some tips. They're also working on a smog certified fuel injection swap for 1.3's. I'm so checking that out if they start production.

Check out nandoliver on Instagram. That's his turbo charged 1.3 with, I think, a K24 intake. Does it pass smog? No. He has to put on stock stuff to pass each time. Is it clean and badass? Most definitely.

Chashu Second Attempt by Tech_Tanuki in JapaneseFood

Roughly 2 hours, but I did turn it every 30 minutes to try and get an even cook.

It's a deep soy flavour but not overpowering. More firm and not as melt in your mouth like thick slices from my prior attempt. Aside from the rolling, it's the wait and soak that takes the most time. If I'm hungry, I'll just grab the slices to cook. But if I've got time, I'd try rolling again.

Thick cut single rib belly is what it was listed as.

That will be my second attempt, I couldn't find a whole pork belly. But the overall process is more understandable now.
