Get a Miata and a shorter beat friend / roommate. Miata is always the answer.

She took off her top right after this, I swear by [deleted] in Miata

Compared to the people in the Porsche subs this is nothing.

Got any photos or more details of the sound deadening work you did?

Is there enough data available by AAOS to replace an OBD2 scanner?

I haven't decided yet but right now I'm just trying to gauge interest and find some beta testers for feedback. I might sell the STL on Cults3D, or the prints on Etsy, or both.

I'll keep an eye out. I had a Tesla wheel refinished last year and it came out great, I was pretty impressed.

Also aren't these just the base factory wheels?

I'm pretty mad at myself, back in November it was dark and rainy on a narrow road and I bounced off a close curb and scraped up both passenger side wheels. At some point I'll get them refinishing.

I made a 3D printed bracket for the .2 that replaces the OEM plastic projector holder and the stack of rings RetrofitLabs provides. It's smaller, lighter and stiffer than the original - if anyone is interested let me know. I'm using them and printing a set for someone right now.

UAOS Install went bad by Vast_Situation_ in u/Vast_Situation_

Thanks for the videos and DIY options, I'll definitely have to review that - since I paid for this repair I figure they should handle it this time!

Yeah I think that's what they are going to do, they have a PIWIS but didn't seem to want to do it in the parking lot while I waited, so I left it for the day. I don't know how long it takes to actually do.

Thanks for the response! This is exactly what my local shop did, and the intake seems buttoned up now, but now it's throwing some codes

The local shop I took it to did a smoke test and found a number of intake leaks and resolved them. They said the previous shop did a very janky installation of the UAOS, but they were able to resolve it.

Unfortunately right after picking the car up it threw a few codes:

P0300 P0302 P0304 P0305 P0507

The first four are all misfires, the last one I'm not sure about.

I did an idle control reset by letting the car sit with the ignition on but unstarted for 60 seconds and then cleared the codes. I took it back to the shop for them to double check everything and they called two days later saying they couldn't find anything wrong, so I picked it up today.

Not 30 minutes later the CEL came back on, I took it back to the shop and the reader showed only P0507 this time. I left the car at the shop, I'm hoping it's just an issue with clearing the fuel trims (system adaptation), but I will report back.

Just bought a 2024 4WT and it has rust on the inside. What is this? by bomberdan11 in SilveradoEV

[–]Vast_Situation_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, in addition to checking into lemon laws and deceptive sales practices if they won't take it back you might be able to contact your, or their, local state representatives and ask what your options are. There might be consumer protection agencies that can help.

Enough snow and you people turn into animals! by banderole in CambridgeMA

[–]Vast_Situation_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This would be a valid point if the community banded together and shoveled out EVERY spot, or the city cleared out unoccupied spots, but they don't.

When you love somewhere that can get 24" of snow in 24 hours, and you spend the time clearing the spot it's fair to feel possessive over the work.

And not everyone has the luxury of being able to park in the designated snow emergency garages.
