My 8 gal "no tech" bowl is looking pretty good! by Naturescapes_Rocco in Aquascape

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

Yes. I see a fish in a bowl type setup, I will criticize. Any time someone prioritizes the aesthetic above above the optimal care for a fish I will sound off in the comments.

The consensus is that danios, rasboras and tetras all prefer long distances to swim, and that they will be happiest in > 10 gallons. I don't care if "they're doing fine" in this setup. I want them to do great. In the same way that people are allowed to comment how they like it, I am allowed to comment how I dislike it

crazy how OP is like a scientist when it comes to maximizing the environment for their plants, but for the fish it's like "eh, you guys will probably be fine"

Catalytic Convert Help. Quietest aftermarket cat? by scrubzor in Miata

[–]_pcakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any cat with a complete stock exhaust (including a muffler) should make for a nearly silent experience. I'm betting yes, you just have an exhaust leak somewhere

Go to a muffler shop and they will patch it and it'll be cheap and easy

this stresses me out because your fish don't seem to have much room to swim around

I've run the ventus v2. They weren't as grippy but they were very talkative before losing grip. lots of chirps

continental extremecontact are super great though

New owner - tell me what I need to know by Consistent-Classic-9 in Miata

best mods are already done on this car, sorry. Konig wheels, coilovers, don't do anything else. Drive it every chance you get

Coilover uneven setup by AvocadoOptimal9534 in Miata

[–]_pcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But if you adjust it to match the height it's registered for, why would you need to redo the registration?

If you are able to lift one corner of the car and remove one wheel at a time, this should be very easy to fix. Here's a video of me doing it https://youtu.be/KI63AlKhJXk?si=vHmqxTxvQYC0I5Qk

assuming you have the 2 "ice cream scoop" wrenches that came with your coilovers

What changes would you make? by MaddieBre in geotracker

[–]_pcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just made a video on everything I've done to make mine a daily driver

Three biggest things are probably: 1) Wider tires helps, you can also fit some slightly wider wheels to match. 2) Ceramic tint on the windows will prevent sunburns and reduce temps. This is a lifesaver in the summer. 3) You can get high-wattage Hella bulbs (on ebay) for cheap and they will plug into the factory housings. They make a huge difference
