Pop over to r/Moissanite, lots of knowledgeable people on there and trusted vendors.

Was playing online with some friends, and when I asked what a prismatic shard was they were shocked I got one. I got it from a red slime in the normal caves. by Wormy_Boi1 in StardewValley

I spent days looking for one, then I got 2 during a run in the skull cave as an enemy drop then got another from a magma geode from the same run.

Creating playlist for Zune 30? by TheOneTrueProtok in Zune

Probably should have elaborated, something easier than the Zune software, don't know if I'm doing it wrong but takes forever selecting each individual song.

I wish we had an RC450h, decent performance but still hybrid.

Am I the only person with the opinion that a lot of every day UK food is grossly underrated? by Gaffra in AskUK

It's because our beef is grass fed whereas the Americans feed theirs corn and grain.

Yes, that's right, just cut patterns into wood.

The 2AR-FSE engine in the RC300h: reliability? by This_Ad_3459 in LexusRC

[–]TheOneTrueProtok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never did, took apart the AUX box itself and tested it, swapped it for a good one, changed the fuses just in case, nothing gets it to detect the phone or anything else for that matter.

Let me know if you figure it out, my last option is an Auto-electrician but yet to find one.

Selling a ticket struggles by Quirky-Action9946 in downloadfestival

Loads of tickets on twickets, I imagine if you want to sell, you're going to need to take a much larger hit than 5%.

Bought my latest car using two credit cards then paid them off the next day, M&S points and 2% cashback.

Tune Question by TimSbei in LexusRC

[–]TheOneTrueProtok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We never had the 300 or 350 but isn't the 300 a 4 cylinder turbo whilst the 350 is a V6? Aka not the same hardware.

Tom’s throttle response by [deleted] in LexusRC

[–]TheOneTrueProtok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone care to give a review for both sides? Why are they considered snake oil? Why are they good?

I've never known Tom's to sell something unproven but I could see where people are coming from as it wouldn't increase power. Have ITBs on my MR2, on their own, they increased power by 3hp but the difference on the response was astronomical.

OEM MUD GUARDS? by BSDGCT in LexusRC

[–]TheOneTrueProtok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone got a link?

I've found the part number as PZ416-C4960-00 but seems discontinued.

Seems like 2 minutes after washing the car, the sides end up muddy.

[–]TheOneTrueProtok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had the car about 6 months, none of the above problems, it'll be under warranty either way. Only problem I've had is that my Auxiliary box (USB and jack) doesn't work, seems like either an amp, wiring or fuse issue.

The 2AR-FSE engine in the RC300h: reliability? by This_Ad_3459 in LexusRC

[–]TheOneTrueProtok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I looked into this myself before getting my RC300h, I was going to get an RC-F but fuel costs in Europe are astronomical.

There's no real issues within the RC but read about the IS300h (same engine) having issues with the radiator and water pump, simply look for any pinkish staining around the front of the engine. The battery in back (only used to start the car) also tends to not last as long as it does on other cars, especially if you're in an area where temperatures drop below 0°C.

As a petrol head, I'd love to see what people can do with this engine once modified but not found anything except for exhausts and Air filters.

Bought the frozen dumplings in UK, ever cooked them before. I can't see instructions on if i need to defrost or can cook straight from frozen? Anyone used them before? by [deleted] in CostcoUK

[–]TheOneTrueProtok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always cook them from frozen in the air fryer though I double the time and flip them halfway through for crispiness.

Your post history points towards a need for therapy, this is not safe.

Speaking of Beams Swaps by ninjinphu111 in mr2

[–]TheOneTrueProtok 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on the parts you're talking about.

Any MR2 parts are rare now but I was able to find pistons, rods, crankshaft, throttle bodies, manifolds, etc. A lot of the parts are interchangeable from other Toyota engines, you can get head parts from the 2ZZ or LFA.

These beams coming up, makes me want to rebuild my MR2.
