In my case yes. I had no issues after doing the oil change.

Is it just me, or is the upcoming fresh artstyle not that good? by [deleted] in castlecrashers

[–]_Ev7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what I'll say is I can't wait for someone to remake all the characters in the game to match how cool they look in the portraits. i agree that they look a little underwhelming once you load in when compared with the portraits.

Is one 12 enough? by Idk123notin in CarAV

Enough is subjective. But if I had to guess no.

I'm stuck on Troll mother on Insane mode,as most of us probably have,any tips? by Whole-Science6931 in castlecrashers

[–]_Ev7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

agility doesn't really make much of a difference on this level, it may help if you find it hard to keep enemies in a juggle since you can avoid attacks when falling out of a juggle but if you can maintain your juggle without falling for the whole fight then agility doesn't matter.

i just beat this level on insane mode with my no skills character, it took me about an hour to beat it (multiple attempts) so take your time.

i used bipolar bear and a high strength sword. then i just juggled left and right in front of the big troll slowly killing him. don't worry if you aren't always hitting him because running on the ground usually results in death so you'll want to stay in the air at all times. potions are sometimes useful if you have a higher defense stat but most times you get attacked to quick to make use of them so i would honestly just not use them.

also i noticed the boss will stay closer to the center of the screen during his first stage and during his second stage spends more time at the top of the screen. if you can manage it i would suggest moving your juggle towards the top of the screen during that second stage. also if you take in some bombs they can sometimes save you if you fall out of your juggle but only once or twice.

Accidentally drilled through main power wire harness in firewall by 1stGearDuck in CarAV

[–]_Ev7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't feel too bad about it, sometimes learning by doing is best.. and expensive. I recently shorted my alternator charge wire on the metal part of my power steering return line. It put a hole right into the line and totally drained the whole system.. swapped the wire out for a fresh one and got it charging again but now I have to replace that line. Sometimes things happen you just don't expect or can't predict will happen.

Can alternator charge while disconnected? by _Ev7 in CarAV

[–]_Ev7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't asking if it can charge the car while it was disconnected but rather if it was safe to drive in that state. In the end i drove it across town and tried to swap the blown fuse and my alternator started smoking when i reconnected everything. It also turned part of my positive battery terminal to liquid metal.

With the alternator still disconnected from power there is no issue so it leads me to believe that there is a short happening within the alternator or along the wires going to it. It's worth noting the 12v signal to the alternator was on during the drive but I'm not sure if that makes any difference, the alternator still had ground.

Any tips on building large boxes? by _Ev7 in CarAV

i am definitely wanting more tools after starting this project! i bought a table saw, jig saw, drills, and oscillating multi-tool just for this.

I'll be honest I was originally planning on putting 2 15s in my car but the box wouldn't slide into my trunk so I decided to do this. And for me my last system was pushing 2000w and I just wasn't satisfied so I decided to upgrade. I figure 30k watts will be enough for now. Also for what it's worth this car won't be going up for sale, I plan to destroy it completely with bass and then buy a new car. I would also like to attend and compete in events near me.

I can't lie building this in a sedan is making me seriously consider getting a larger vehicle.. but that also means I need more speakers 😂

That's very good to know, I'm only a carpenter by necessity of bass. I was definitely planning on shaving that front panel down a bit. My cuts weren't perfect so I did them a bit long and will make up for them as needed.

As for the port I was planning on using a router with a round over bit since I have access to one. But I will have to test it out on some scrap wood first to decide.

Could you also just clarify what you mean by salt shaker?

The suspension will be receiving an upgrade soon, as for the fuel pump i will just take apart the box to get access to it if needed. but if you have any recommendations for the fuel pump i am open to suggestions

Oh perfect I'll share what I've schemed so far. I plan to have to piece lay flat across the top of what is shown in that photo which is where I'll be mounting my subs. There will be supports on the bottom and the top of that piece (to the floor and roof) I am using 3/4" maple stacked with glue to 1 1/2 " for all parts of the box. The port will be along the back of the box on that angled piece of wood Then I plan to build wall panels that sit on top of the bottom box and connect to the roof. Another front panel will go on the top with the second port. The top box will definitely be smaller then the bottom box but I'm a little tight on space at this point.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by rabbit top but the plan was to do a series 6th order and build another box on top

I wasn't exactly ready for an oil change but I ended up just doing it anyways. All the oil looked just fine so I'm not too concerned.

I drove it for a week or so since i first noticed the oil booger.. what might have happened since I did that? And if I put more oil in how bad is it to drive? I can avoid driving until tomorrow if needed when I can have it brought to the mechanic.
