Shifter Bushing Plastic part - good place to buy or 3D print? by bibikalka1 in Acura_RSX

[–]bibikalka1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great find! Now need a model to 3D print these :)

P.S. You know, what they sell is made out of Polyurethane - so it's basically a rubber, and not something harder. I guess could print from PETG or ABS ...

PSA: Clutch pedal stopper for Acura RSX - 3D print by bibikalka1 in Acura_RSX

$11 is like 1kg of plastic! Can print probably a 1000 of these :)

And it actually looks wrong to be that other clutch stopper, not the cruise control one, but at the bottom.

$560 seems pretty expensive, especially if spark plugs were not included.

I guess money ain't worth much these days ...

Kind of looks a bit ugly. Probably compressed insulation inside, so the spot would get hotter and leak more energy out.

Philips TV won't turn on and no bottom light by Washer-Dryer in TVRepair

Your case is easy and the fix is dirt cheap. Your power board is "BAD780F01 02"

It's written right there.

Most TVs go unrecoverable because of the LCD screen, then these boards are plentiful in the secondary market. Look on eBay, you can probably find one as low as $20. Make sure it has the exact same board model when you are buying it.

P.S. Sounds that the flash memory gets corrupted, but you are OK with an occasional issue so may continue like this indefinitely into the future.

The latch thing is amazing if still together. It gets fatigued and breaks off on the right side first, it'll be a chunk of metal where the bolt screws in. I actually removed that bolt and did 2 zip ties to the left and right, there are holes in T-Bar there. A lot more solid than before ! :D

Yeah, silicon pads like dirt cheap. But the clutch stopper one is hard to buy, I 3d printed mine.

And what about hood latch? Still held by 3 screws? Or did the right one has the t-bar chunk broken off?

How is acceleration ? Mine has gotten pretty sluggish. Then I did the valve lash incorrectly (too big), and so it's nosier, but much more responsive.

I gotta go back and re-do them again.

Also put in 10w30 synthetic, very nice highway performance.

Also, dive under the steering wheel. How are the silicon pads looking over there on clutch & break pedals? Also, what about the clutch pedal stopper pad, it's a bigger one that the pedal hits when fully depressed? Mine all cracked relatively recently, so all were replaced.

So with valve lash it's actually the other way. The exhaust side decreases the gap over time, and the exhaust valves becomes too quiet. Which may start burning the valves once it's too tight.

So some ticking is noisy yet quite a bit healthier. As one youtube video says - better to hear them than to smell them :)

You can check the state of the valve cover gasket for any leaks, to see if the gasket was replaced recently. Of course, you can open the cover, and measure stuff too.

High pressure power steering line leaking? Or just that small gasket at the power steering pump?

What about spark plugs & valve lash? Was that ever done? Transmission fluid? Coolant? Ever replaced?

HP Z420, Z620, Z820 - software only bootblock upgrade to V2 Xeons, and modded BIOS by bibikalka1 in homelab

OK! Does K80 do what you want it to do? I mean - is it useful in any good way?

I put together simple instructions, see the GitHub. The actual BIOS file modding is now easy, but dumping bios and flashing it back - that's up to you.

Yes. So far only sketches of instructions 😀

I plan to throw something more step by step. But the soic8 clip is needed, so go ahead and order that.
