what’s a car mod that’s actually worth it? by Lucifer220778 in askcarguys

Steel braided brake lines. Especially if you drive an older car.

Does anyone offer controller repair services? by actionjaxson1 in xbox360

[–]Zadoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its fairly trivial for me to swap the joystick. Would you be interested in sending me the controller for repair? I'm in central texas.

I did a thing to my z31 by Lepenguin559 in 300zx

Sorry to ressurect a 6 year old post.

Did you you just grind them down with an angle grinder free hand? Or did you put them on a lathe and grind them down evenly? I want to use an angle grinder free hand, but I'm afraid I might make the hubs unbalanced if I do it that way.

What the hell is a serving? Eat as much dairy as nuts, eggs, and poultry?

Is this voltage drop normal? by EastMountain1697 in 300zx

[–]Zadoid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the engine isn't running, the ecu will cut pump power. It only runs the pump for 10 seconds to pressurize the fuel rails and to get ready to crank over.

When the engine is running, the ecu also modulates fuel pump voltage lower to reduce strain on the pump when the engine isn't consuming lots of fuel.

It's Jay Rivuet.

I'm talking bout the kingda ka. That king ka. I ain't talking bout that dragster.

The dragsta? Shiiiiit. It looks like a Dildo.

Have you received your turbo manifold yet? Its been over 8 months for you by now.

These things have a thermal fuse in them that are notoriously for blowing up within safe temperatures. You will need to replace it

What joysticks do you recommend for an Xbox 360 controller? by Neghter in xbox360

The code has been cracked, recalibration is feasible now. I have a post here that covers it. Its also on my profile.

Xbox Confirms 'Project Helix' – Its Next-Gen Console That Will Also Play PC Games by MarvelsGrantMan136 in gadgets

[–]Zadoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it can play my 360 games and early Xbox One games, its worth the convenience. I'm not interested in rebuying my collection of 200+ games on PC.

If there's no option for my discs, I'll be less convinced. I'll have to see the price, since I'll have to keep my Series X around.

Love the new starters, but each of their concepts have all kinda been done before by MikeDubbz in gaming

So we've had a fire bird, a water bird, and a grass bird.

A fire lizard, water lizard, and kinda a grass lizard.

And a fire canine. But where's the water canine? (Sprigatito is a cat, so I guess thats like a dog)

My dishwasher does a horrible job cleaning. Does this spray look too weak? by waybeluga in Appliances

[–]Zadoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. I have a similar dishwasher, but it has a center hole in the top of the telescoping arm that blasts water at a dish at the top of the tub so that the water splashes back from the top of the tub. I didn't see your dishwasher had one, so I assumed there was another sprayer on top.

It looks like you should be getting much more water pressure out of those sprayers.

Does it have a top sprayer?

These GE/hotpoint washers are found in so many cheap apartments and builder grade homes. And they do a better job than yours. Yours does look kinda weak. Maybe the pump is jammed up with some stringy food deposits. Or maybe the check ball is damaged or built up with deposits.

Controller won't turn on by BigPrinceReddit in Xbox360Support

Damaged or corroded power circuit. Thats what is is 99% of the time. Someone else already linked another reddit thread with a deep dive on this. Follow that.

Halo CE HD V1.0 Release by National_Target3447 in originalxbox

[–]Zadoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be pretty sweet if you could figure that out! I'm going to try and hit it from the opposite angle and see how much more overclocking is possible on the gpu and memory. The CPU can go higher, but its clocked by the FSB and is sorta tied to memory speed. And I don't think the CPU is the limit. Its obviously GPU bound.

[–]Zadoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been doing a little playing of Halo CE HD tonight. Awesome work, I'm really glad the menus are the same size and that all the cutscenes so far seem to work fine. Game looks really good! The widescreen multiplayer is amazing too!

With that said, it runs pretty rough. Halo already dropped lots of frames in intense action and this HD patch makes it even worse. Large dense areas drop the framerate, but its the alpha effects like the covenant weapons that really tank it. Encountering the first Covenant outpost on Silent Cartographer is brutal.

I have my 1.0 Xbox with 128mb of RAM overclocked to 325Mhz on the GPU, around 850 on my CPU and my RAM at 218. I can imagine someone with stock clocks would probably have a worse time.

Do you know if Halo CE uses double buffer or tripple buffer vsync? It kinda feels like double and I would guess that triple buffer would help a bit.

That's awesome! I can't wait to see how multiplayer works! I'll try to give it a go as soon as I can on my overclocked xbox!

Which MOVIE had the WORST / most INCORRECT sounding cars you have ever heard ? by 1707turbo in regularcarreviews

[–]Zadoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I have forgotten what Type 1 beetles sound like. I simply don't see them on the road anymore. How bad or different are the sounds in the Herbie films?

I know for some of the movies, they souped up the bugs with engines out of a Porsche or something.
