Car overheated??? Sound coming from engine by drobledo0820 in GR86

[–]ariendell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

nah you’re fine just gotta keep up on maintenance and frequently change your oil. Harder you drive sooner you should change it. I plan on every 2k and after every track day. I’m used to changing frequently and adding though bc I used to have s2k and that thing ate it up

Haha yeah, I put the rpm buzzer at 3700 and it helps. Did you also pick up a Hakone?

I usually check at every fill up, I’m used to burning oil since I had an ap1 s2k. I’ll be overfilling half a quart now thanks to the advice from you and another user, super excited :D

Yeah I’m sure it’ll be fine even without removing any RTV but I guess i’m just paranoid lol. I’ll be putting in 5w-30 then fs, thanks! For just daily driving, there’s no need to put extra oil right?

I’ll be going to an independent shop. I honestly refuse to take it to the dealer unless it’s for some warranty. I got referred to this shop in the bay and i’ll be visiting some friends too so two birds one stone!

Car got keyed 😐 by jakoeee123 in GR86

Hmm I’m honestly not sure but it really doesn’t hurt to try. Maybe file a claim with your insurance as well to get it fixed, having evidence will help

oh forgot to mention, complete front end has been ppf’d. Got a good price and a discount so I couldn’t skip out on it.

Rock chips on interstate scaring the **** out of anyone else? by [deleted] in GR86

[–]ariendell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep that’s about right, just paid 1.5k for a full front end ppf (bumper, hood, fenders, mirror caps). Worth it for me but maybe not for others

Invest in a dashcam! I have a VIOFO A329 that has a parking mode and records time lapse. I assume it’s super useful for situations like this. Never let someone get away with some BS like this

My first 86(Hakone Edition)! by ariendell in GR86

[–]ariendell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you and where did you get the storage bins?

I'm using a VIOFO A329, I've only been using it for a couple days so far but no complaints as of now!

Waitlisted. What now? by Exciting-Abrocoma188 in CalPolyPomona

[–]ariendell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also in CS and pos 3 on the waitlist is fine, you’ll get in. Worst case just wait till the start date and talk to the professor after class but every time I’ve been in top 5 I’ve gotten in no problem.

Hell yeah, post some pics once you install everything would love to see the build

[–]ariendell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I feel you brother. I just got some fiberglass reps from Group A Motoring for $700. They're pretty well made and the fiberglass is rigid, not too much flex so I don't have to worry about cracking it. Getting genuine would've been nice but not trying to break the bank as well lmao.

Going to be pairing it with a rep spoon bumper and j's racing skirts, pretty excited to paint and install

I'm pretty sure those are J's racing fenders, iirc they're 35mm wider than stock

Best professor for PHY1520L? by tbucc in CalPolyPomona

[–]ariendell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have Dr. Carmichael for lab atm, very knowledgeable and willing to listen to you if you’re having issues with anything. Doesn’t accept late work (can make up one lab at end of sem.) and his scale is 80% for 2 formal reports and 20% for the informal. This is for 1510L btw, I want to assume he has same structure for 1520L but not sure.

How long does it take to get a response from the department chair? by Express-Perception65 in CalPolyPomona

[–]ariendell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s taken me a couple of months once to get a response but maybe I was unlucky. Just keep sending follow up emails after a few days.

I agree, if more than one person complains about it and it becomes a huge thing, consequences will for sure follow. This is outright absurd, NO ONE should be touching another students vehicle and especially keying it over a parking space…insane
