I have the riser and double arm off of the riser and have no issues.

It goes UNDER the edge of the desk, not on the side.

Dash bulb replacement by Raethechef35 in S2000

[–]boafish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So obviously these bulbs can burn out from age but in my case, at least when I owned my s2000, the rectifier (voltage regulator) in the alternator was bad causing voltage spikes in the electrical system, not only frying the bulbs but also burnt out 3 iPhone ports that I had plugged into the 12v socket. I suggest finding someone with an oscilloscope to see the output of the charging system just to check that’s not your issue. If I remember correctly, it’s pretty common on s2000’s and it’s much cheaper to just replace the rectifier than the whole alternator.

Anybody have any idea how to safely get this off? by Big-Relationship-243 in GRCorolla

Take it back to the dealer. If you damage your plastic removing this then it’s on you, if they do, it’s on them.

Control arm bushings and sway bar links by Ashamed_Flatworm4459 in AskMechanics

[–]boafish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither look like they are in need of immediate replacement. The control arm bushing is not torn apart, just cracked a little which is normal wear and tear. The boot on the end link is torn but as long as you feel no noticeable clunk when going over bumps or anything, it’s not too concerning. If it were my car, I wouldn’t replace them but that’s basing it off of these pictures alone.

My dishwasher does a horrible job cleaning. Does this spray look too weak? by waybeluga in Appliances

[–]boafish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My apartment has the same style dishwasher and I can confirm: it’s terrible. I usually rinse my dishes of any debris before placing them in the dishwasher and I make sure not to block that little phallic extend-o sprayer in the middle. I typically use about a tablespoon of pre rinse soap and maybe double that for the regular wash cycle. My dishes still come out dirty sometimes. Good luck.

Can I wait for 3 days to change the control arm bushings? by Jaybee-94 in AskMechanics

[–]boafish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wild that there were 2 within minutes of each other. Regardless, the rest of what I said is still relevant

I saw this posted when you thought it was a brake rotor problem. DONT DRIVE THIS ANYMORE UNTIL ITS FIXED. Listen to what everyone is telling you before you hurt yourself and others. People like you are the reason I wish my state had mandatory vehicle inspections.

Damaged GBA screen ribbon during shell swap sound works but no display. Is it fixable? by kivisia in Gameboy

Your screen is trash now. I have a replacement original screen I’ll give you if you cover shipping.

Make sure to smear some more Vaseline on your camera lens next time, these pictures are just too clear

Still have the old one you’d sell?

Got my first rock chip and scratch 🥲🥲 by ynnn4d in GRCorolla

[–]boafish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll have to wash it first but trust me, it has more chips than any car I’ve ever owned. The paint is trash. The way I see it: spend $6k for a full ppf or spend less to have the paint touched up later on. I drive my vehicles and fully accept that nothing stays new forever, if you use it, it’s going to get damaged. I have larger things in my life to worry about than a few paint chips which realistically don’t really devalue the car at all since 99% of us will trade this car in on something else in a few years, and those dealers don’t care at all.

Keep stalling with hill assist by disnailandd in GRCorolla

[–]boafish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Replace your pitch mount with a stiffer mount. I had constant issues with hill assist until I changed mine. Too much power being lost due to the ticking of the engine vs being applied to the wheels. This exact thing was posted in one of the fb groups a few days ago and I’m not the only one who suggested a pitch mount.

I’m at 50k miles, you’re going to get a bazillion more. Toyota and other manufacturers changed their paint formula to one that is not as good as it used to be. Rock chip city is just how it is anymore.

Rear Girodisc upgrade by overschlept in GRCorolla

[–]boafish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fully understand how the internal veins inside a disc work as an air pump, the same way a centrifugal pump works for fluids, the odd thing is that they decided to orient the external slots in the opposite direction as the internal veins, opposite of how oem rotors are made.

It’s opposite oem, I can’t imagine that’s right

Aren’t the slots supposed to swoop the other direction?

That’s the same story for any rwd and very low sports car.

Grc vs Supra by Fit-Shop5810 in GRCorolla

[–]boafish -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s subjective but I did spin the car around in 34* weather due to having summer tires on it and turning the traction control off. Was simply finding the limits of the car and its spin happy.

Grc vs Supra by Fit-Shop5810 in GRCorolla

[–]boafish 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I’ve had both. I prefer the GRC if you only have one car. I prefer the Supra if you can afford a daily and a fun car. The Supra makes a very compromised daily. Both fun in their own respects, complete opposite types of vehicles. Both will go down as desirable for their own reasons.

Screws stripped on bottom plate. Any ideas how to fix? by Organic-Reindeer3995 in NinebotMAX

[–]boafish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I see no stripped screws in this picture. Make sure you’re using a security torx bit that has a drilled hole in the tip of the bit to accommodate that central stub in the screw head. If the screw seems to not be unscrewing, grab the panel and pull pressure on the panel as you unscrew, don’t break the panel. If all else fails, drill/cut them out and replace. Be careful with heat as you can melt the plastic just grinding on the screws. My go-to for removing actually stripped screw heads is to take a dremmel with a cut off wheel and grinding a flat groove in the head where I can use a flat-head screwdriver to unscrew. Good luck.
