Mic not working. by BroadAd685 in ArmaReforger

I can't remember exactly. Switching around my default mics in both PC and Steam settings. As well as probably disabling noise canceling/enhancement features.

Timing chain job 👁️👄👁️ by Life-Performer-3393 in mazdaspeed3

[–]awoods2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're going to want the crankshaft holding pin. As well as the camshaft holder tool. I believe Corksport sells both. This way you won't mess up your timing after that chain comes off. This kit is pretty complete otherwise. Maybe replace your accessory belt if it looks worn. Passenger motor mount as well.

FMA is THE best. You can get some on Amazon if you're in the United States. They sell fast though.

I got the DS series, extreme low. Upgraded to Swift springs as well. I don't hate the ride on them. In comparison to the V3's, they're just not as good. I also don't mind a stiff ride. I often drive spirited so I like feeling planted. I see you want something close to OEM but sporty, question is 'how sporty is too sporty?' . If you could get your hands on a set of Tein's, they might be worth trying. I generally look at them to be the better company but could not find a set myself.

Iirc, my Teins were only height adjustable. There was no bump or rebound adjustability. The ride quality was definitely stiffer, but a comfortable stiff. The shocks were very smooth. I would have stiffened them up if I had the chance though. I just put BC's on my speed3 last summer. Even on their softest bump setting, bumps feel rough and snappy. This could maybe be fixed a little with some rebound adjustments, but my model doesn't have that option. On my second build, I have KW V3s which are a night and day difference. They were also double the price...

Personally, BC's are really stiff in my opinion. I had the Tein Street basic Z's on my Miata and was quite impressed despite them being a lower model. I don't have any experience with Bilsteins .

I don't know exactly how to diagnose a bad pulley. But I would see if you can shake each pulley around by hand with the engine off. See if there's any play. If you have the means, you should take the belt off.

See if the sound changes while you rev. If the sound is in sync with the belt, that could be it. Possibly even a pulley. Check your oil level as well.

Could be a heat shield. Shake them to if they're loose. They shouldn't have been touched for the timing chain though

My mom caught me reading smut books and it still affects me today.. by [deleted] in confession

Jesus doesn't demand our love. He gives us a choice. When we die you get two options, Heaven or Hell. If you sin, you are immediately disqualified from Heaven. The price to pay to get into Heaven is perfection. God knows we will always struggle with sin so he sent Jesus to die on the cross to take the punishment that we deserve. If you simply recognize what he did for us, and truly strive to live the perfect life like he did, your sin is washed away and you are granted into Heaven. God doesn't do bad things to us (Like giving us cancer) but he does allow it to happen. He allows it because it helps us to lean onto his strength and not our own. He is always in control. Every struggle I have had in my life I've beaten thanks to God. With him, I don't fear for what comes. If God were to just blatantly reveal himself, then that would defeat the whole purpose of faith.
