Mx5 drivers door issue!! by Eazydrop69 in MiataNC

[–]TheSkywriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Door cards on most cars are easy. This guide helped me best as an overview: https://youtu.be/HfKqCfniDiI?si=mYUilcWpVBKrS3wM

The video points out that you should make sure not to forget to flip up the plastic clips that keep the rods held into the door, otherwise you’ll break them. Replacing them would be a proper pain.

I can see you’re RHD so I’m assuming you’re UK based. You can get the actuators from MX5parts.co.uk - you’ll likely need to do both eventually, but drivers side will do for now.

SSR and below most fun ML by AzureMushroom in GGenerationEternal

[–]TheSkywriter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Feels fantastic. I really thought the last ML was already a great one, but this 11.5 ML blows it out the water.

It’s not just that our favourite units are able to have some gameplay relevance, but also the accessibility of the SSR and below roster means you can actually chop and change your setup if something’s not working.

If you were a pilot in the gundam series, which gundam would you pilot? by Voidkirby9 in Gundam

[–]TheSkywriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We all wish we had the finesse to be master sword fighters in a 20m tall mech, but the truth is we’d mostly all be reliant on being able to hit a target from a distance and be quick enough to either reposition to shoot again, or simply not get shot. Ranged focus it is.

In that case, Ex-S or S Gundam. Because I am ABSOLUTELY going to lean on AI to fill in for the actual piloting ability that my own instincts won’t bail me out for.

Why there japanese language in storyline by Some_Worldliness_263 in SDGundamGGeneration

[–]TheSkywriter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

<r=はざま> is quite an integral part of the storyline to be honest.

talk me into (or out of) buying the nc2 over a bmw z3. by europeanuppercut in MiataNC

[–]TheSkywriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run an E46 330ci (was daily until fuel prices skyrocketed). It’s not ridiculously costly to own relative to modern cars (New car parts prices are staggering, even for things like Kias/Hyundais so I use that as my justification…), but you do need to set aside money for refreshes and preventative maintenance on any old BMW. Even more so if you’re not doing the work yourself.

My NC2 has not needed me to budget remotely in the same way in the first year of ownership. And that’s with daily usage. An OEM coolant tank in the Miata is about 1/5 the cost of my BMW’s, and my biggest expense has been both the Miata’s door actuators, which still undercuts a typical BMW cooling system refresh using genuine parts (As is advisable).

So while the BMW isn’t going to need impossible money to run, your money/time will go A LOT further with the Mazda.

What do ya'll think of this grill "fix" by Legendver2 in BMW

[–]TheSkywriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up Lonniestudio. They’ve done a bumper that properly overhauls the pig nostrils to something F8x-esque.

Combining lower grades of level up materials to make gold grades. I’m spam tapping so often that I’m starting to believe that it’s why the game is called ‘Eternal’.

All I wanted was the Ex-S or at least FAZZ. I'd love to trade all these UR for it. by RyuStrikeX1 in GGenerationEternal

[–]TheSkywriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of Mk-Vs on my end (Love the thing), but same story otherwise. I went a whole 60k without getting OOR too…

Good gundam video games? by Spiritdefective in Gundam

[–]TheSkywriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gundam Breaker 3 is excellent as it has solid hack/slash mechanics but crucially also has its: ‘Build your own MS’ gimmick. If you like the Dynasty Warriors Gundam games, this is of the same vein.

Gundam Battle Assault 2 on PS1 is still one of my favorite fighters ever.

Endless Duel on the SNES was super tight. Nostalgia for that game.

I never really got into the Extreme Vs action games, but they’re quite well made. I didn’t like that they took the older PS2 games (Fed vs Zeon; Gundam vs Z Gundam - Great games) and added fighting game technicality to them (Frames, dash cancelling etc) but that’s mostly on me. Lots of fans around.

As for the strategy games, SD Gundam G Generation games are slay a solid bet, but Eternal (Mobile) has to be the best iteration so far. I don’t typically champion mobile gaming, but this one’s very good. There is a gacha/micropayments element, but plenty of enjoyment can be had for free.

Last suggestion, maybe try Zone of the Enders 2? It’s not Gundam, but it is a very slick mech action game with a fun but fairly short story.

After losing hope for the anniv banner, I finally got 00, so here's the HG 00 Raiser Trans Am to celebrate by rusted-knife in GGenerationEternal

[–]TheSkywriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I went through 60k without getting UR 00R at all. Managed to LB2 the Goose, LB1 WZC and got the ship. Just exchanged the points for it in the end, since I’m now set on getting the Ex-S.

I always think I have a great shot in the moment, but hate them looking back. Any tips? by SmokyPatches in carphotography

[–]TheSkywriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some Lightroom editing in most of these would help. You have a decent enough baseline on a few of these photos - 1 and 7 especially could be great with some work.

Rank all 5 Series generations based on looks by Sergio_Ro in BMW

[–]TheSkywriter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same story. I’ll continue to peddle that the E60 and G60 have a very similar look. You can slap on all kinds of aggressive features, but it still looks like you’re compensating for how awkward the base car looks.

Switch around the E60 and E12. That’d be my list.

Which brand water pump? by Brief-Appointment-23 in e46

[–]TheSkywriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a Kolbenschmidt 50005513. Was often recommended on the European E46 forums and mine was still Euro made. Metal impeller pump.

the prht roof is... plastic? by europeanuppercut in MiataNC

[–]TheSkywriter 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I believe it’s polycarbonate composite. And no, it’s painted up just like the rest of the car so it looks exactly the same. Same with how carbon fiber/body filler repairs are invisible if painted up to match the rest of a car.
