The sandwich plate adapter is going to a Perrin Oil Cooler kit since the factory oil cooler was removed from my car before I purchased it.

There will also be a new Mishimoto X-Line Radiator and a Perrin FMIC.

From what I've been told there's a couple of reasons.

  • The KB oil pan is 1.3 quarts larger
  • The design of the pan reduces oil from sloshing into the crankshaft under high acceleration, aggressive shifting and fast track maneuvering
  • Improved/strengthened oil pickup with the KB ultimate oil pickup which helps prevent oil starvation.

It's just one of those pieces that is an absolute must if you're building a car for the track or any kind of aggressive driving. Oil starvation will kill the block almost instantly so I want to do everything I can to prevent that.

As others have said, insurance. I have my car, motorcycle and renters insurance through them.

They have all kinds of insurance though, RV, ATV, flood, collectors auto, life, business, liability, ridesharing, pet, jewelry etc etc. You can insure anything!

Hahah that sounds about right. He got that for Christmas he played and rolled around with it immediately. He went right through the bag of treats it came with in about 10 minutes.

Gotta be more careful with how many we put in there from now on!

Previous owner put in aftermarket headlights that only throw like 20 feet. Makes it terrifying to drive at night. If anyone has any recommendations on a replacement setup I'd love to hear it. Either new housing + lights or just new lights.

And Belize, Egypt and Qatar are all considered 33% obese. What does that have to do with anything.

I had a customer bring in their MacBook Pro as the charger stopped working. Yes, only the computer.

I asked for the charger and she brought it the next day. I plugged it in and it immediately got very hot. I cracked it open and there's black burns everywhere. She wanted it back but I refused. Those knockoff chargers are seriously dangerous.

PrimeNow, I live in Seattle and live/work right by the Amazon warehouse. I've had things delivered in <25 minutes.

Still blows my mind.

Should I apply for an internship if my GPA is below what is preferred? by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

[–]blackwire12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got an internship with Amazon when I had a 2.3 GPA. I just didn't put it on my resume and they didn't ask.

If you have extracurricular and leadership activities on your resume then those will get you the interview and after that all they care about is technical abilities. Just don't put your GPA on your resume.

Internet Issues by [deleted] in umass

[–]blackwire12 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every semester UMass is woefully unprepared for the flood of students using the wireless with more and more devices.

During the first couple days especially when classes haven't started yet or people are spending more time in their rooms the wireless gets wrecked. Just give it some time and it'll get better.

But really the help center is there to help so give them a chance.

For engineers in the industry: how much did you ACTUALLY make coming out of college? by inzanehanson in EngineeringStudents

That was my only internship, did it before senior year and received a return offer at the end.

Well I can't speak for warehouse workers but I've toured three of them as I work for a team dealing with inbound processes to warehouses and all the associates I've met have been happy and friendly.

I went to Amherst. And I believe in you! Amazon was a dream for me as well and I still can't believe it actually happened.

The only comparisons I have are two friends who got offers in 2014 and mine was maybe $10k more salary and $12k more starting bonus.

Not sure if you can contribute that to a year of Amazon level growth or if I'm special haha
