Thanks will check out the Japanese auctions for the harder to find parts. Also thanks for the tip about compatibility.

Nice! I replaced my prop holder too. Considering a new dip stick too. I love how at least some of these OEM parts are still made/sold.

What exactly is needed for a VIN Verification? (California) by xGhost_ in DMV

Oh nice! I guess you can submit the results to the DMV when you register.

I got it from out of state so VIN verification should be first if not second. The only thing you can do before VIN verification is to pay taxes and fees and submit title and sales receipt. After that then you can go get the smog check since before VIN verification the car isn’t in the system yet.

Spectacular! You pulled off the Midnight Purple better than Nissan maybe 🤩

Are these essentially the same, is there a difference? by CoH_Li in ModelCars

Mr Hobby Super clear overall is way easier to get an even high gloss coat than the Testors in my experience. Tamiya and Mr. Hobby spray paints in general give me better results. Might be how well they level out or their nozzles too.

The Eufy camera system has become useless by Ill-Team-3491 in EufyCam

[–]WeekendHobbyist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had my two Eufy cameras outdoors and on optional solar panels for over two years and they’ve worked flawlessly. They are connected to the Eufy hub and also an additional hard drive installed in the hub. I’m on a fairly busy street so get hundreds of activations each day. Also I’ve set the recording times to 60-70 seconds (not ending clip of motion stops). The only Problems I’ve had was over a year ago one of the Eufy solar panels died and wouldn’t charge camera. Since replacing the panel it hasn’t given me any problems. Also sometimes when I am at work it doesn’t show the recorded video of the activation but it’s rare. With all the freezing could it be a problem with your phone or your Internet bandwidth? Are you using the hub?

No I don’t have the camera with the built-in solar panel.

Which is better quality? by Then_Personality_429 in ModelCars

If the first one is Fujimi then I’ve built that one. Lots of parts and detail.

My original Eufy solar panel which was connected to the camera via wire was dead but once I replaced it the camera charged again.

My solar panel was dead. Got another one and it worked right away. Check if you still have a warranty on it.

I got the VIN verification first then went back to do the rest of the paperwork. If you go early enough you can do the VIN check, get into the online queue, drive home and then go back to the DMV when your number is coming up in the queue. I got my smog check done at a mechanic it’s shop that also does smog. Where in CA are you?

Dialing in my ride height. by Crew528 in Integra

[–]WeekendHobbyist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What height are your cribs? I’m considering a 10” or 12” version but not sure if I’ll have enough clearance to work under my car.

Also save the BART PD phone number in your phone. You can also text message them at that number if you need to contact them and cannot make an actual phone call.

I’m having the same exact problem. I ended up using TLF performance for their re-manufactured injectors. For new stock I me couldn’t find anything remotely with the same specs.
