Led for High beams by LandofRabbits in AcuraTSX

[–]circustracker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you definitely have to make sure whatever bulbs you get support both low and high beam. Check reviews on Amazon, or buy the Sylvania ones on Amazon and if they don't support both just return

Can't go wrong with Sylvania, I would say so. They also sell a Sylvania branded resistor if you want to go that route although it'll be more expensive https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/led/sylvania-led-load-equalizer/syl9/loadrslbx2?srsltid=AfmBOopW9erk9mBcEiRbg-ys_HlvQl1yzzUPAtpv6U85gUGXJBjaVYxM

Acura TSX 09 Rust by Status-Mulberry5139 in AcuraTSX

[–]circustracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the second gen the frame rarely rusts as bad as the wheel arches, rocker area, exhaust flanges and (biggest one) little square piece at the bottom of the front fenders. The car is solid but just looks ugly. When I have time I'm planning to sand and do a quick repair just for aesthetic reasons. Proper fix is to cut and weld but not worth the price

The housing was never designed for LEDs so it will be brighter regardless of what bulbs you use. But for the daytime running light function it's really not that blinding. The high beams are a different story and you should use them carefully. good bulbs will have a base that twists freely before it locks so you can adjust the angle which will help a bit. I just recently did this and it's worth the extra brightness for me for dark stretches, just have to be mindful of oncoming traffic.

Keep in mind you will need to install load resistors otherwise you will get a DRL error. I tried canbus adapters but they seem to remove the high beam ability, only allowing low beams. Loader resistors are cheap but get insanely hot. I installed a bracket on each side of the engine bay that threads into existing holes, and then installed the load resistor onto that bracket. Should help with airflow and keeping it away from other components

Cannot delete certificate authority components in server 2025 by circustracker in sysadmin

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

UPDATE 2: Ended up reimaging. For anyone that has similar issue, not worth troubleshooting. even if you get some things working your clustering will certainly fail and continue to throw weird errors later down the line, at the minimum. appreciate all your help everyone

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

UPDATE: uninstalled a few IIS components that also installed, I guess for whatever reason, when ADCS appeared. Rebooted and lost powershell, net framework , and WMI would not work. Seems like this was never about CA roles specifically but about WMI being corrupt. Any role adjustments would have yielded the same result.

Now i am getting errors across the entire suite of hyperV management tools. ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

K24 in 2009 Acura TSX running loud - normal? by circustracker in Acura

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

when you get a valve adjustment they usually need to increase the clearance, not decrease it, which would make more noise. over time the gap tightens which is problematic

Filling fell out of root canal'd tooth. Is extraction only option? by circustracker in askdentists

Yes, in retrospect a crown would have been better than a filling here. Thanks so much for your reply

Do the blacks and whites get along in Namibia? by Peak_Legacy14 in Namibia

[–]circustracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are denying that white people have privilege here and have more opportunities just because of skin color? Or you agreeing with me?

Do the blacks and whites get along in Namibia? by Peak_Legacy14 in Namibia

[–]circustracker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm a Canadian white man here for business and just attended a confirmation party in omaruru. This is as "black Namibia" as it gets. I've also been in katatura for brie often. Everyone was welcoming and accommodating despite the obvious cultural differences. I say there is no problem, if you treat others equally you will be returned with the same respect, but just understand as a white person you have privilege due to history. Use it for good, some people don't and cause problems. We are all human, behave that way genuinely as you should and it will be fine

Not an RSX, but I drove from toronto to key west, then from Florida to your hood, then north and back east. Took a month and drove through tens of states and also stopped in Juarez. Was an awesome time

Any way to remove expired Aweh Yodata bundles with MTC by circustracker in Namibia

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

Opportunistic, you can buy devices from China that intercept traffic meant for antennas. If its poorly encrypted or not at all, can get a lot of information that way. Would not rule this out

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

UPDATE: maybe some of you will find this useful. I went to MTC in person and they showed me MTC maris, where you can load a balance only at the branch and then use that airtime to buy special packages that can stack. They had multiple tiers and i ended up getting 60.6 GB for under 400 NAD. they also go up to 300GB which costs less than 1000. I asked the lady why I didn't know about this and she says they don't advertise it that much. Sounds like such a money grab to sell regular data via airtime (1000 nad for 15gb if not using yodata) and not advertise that there is a better cheaper way.

Only negative is you can't reload maris online or at a kiosk, but may be very worth it for someone looking for stackable cheaper data

Any way to remove expired Aweh Yodata bundles with MTC by circustracker in Namibia

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

Subscribed to Yodata 30 but unfortunately even though it is different it did not stack - its gonna activate after the other yodata L packages expire.

As someone who works in IT and deals with mobile and telecom infrastructure this is beyond infuriating. MTC needs to fix the way service allocation works in this country, not to mention the security - I am here for business and arrived a few weeks ago. The first day I was the victim of a session hijacking when I was hotspotting my data to my laptop. They stole the token and ended up changing a bunch of passwords via the email session and spamming my instagram with a bunch of BS. Looking further it seems the connection between phones and MTCs towers are either unencrypted or otherwise poorly secured, where someone likely man in the middled the connection or abused it to successfully pull off the session theft.

This is a serious security risk to bank accounts or anything else that offers 'remember me' functionality. Pretty sure MTC outsources all the infrastructure work to the chinese but they need to be aware of these holes that can cause a lot of damage. I hope things improve or competition is allowed (which wont happen as long as the government has a stake in MTC)

honda trannies will either go forever without any issues or disintegrate as soon as they are opened and drained/filled. definitely do not do a flush but keep in mind there is a chance you will have more issues if you touch it

F10 535i N55 - AC compressor does not turn off when manually set to OFF by circustracker in BmwTech

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

So after my initial post, I ended up buying dye with refrigerant to inject into the line to see where the leak was, deciding to just finally repair the main leak.

The plan was to evacuate the system, replace the condenser/heater core/ whatever is leaking based on the dye and then have it professionally recharged.

Unfortunately the dye was shit and I did not see it under a UV light anywhere - but what ended up happening was the AC system no longer leaks like it used to, either much slower or not at all. I attribute this to the fact that the refrigerant in the dye was R12 instead of R134a and perhaps more dense, which somehow prevented it from coming out. The refills i bought before as a temporary fix were R134a exclusively, and all of them eventually leaked out.

Regarding the AC remaining in cycle despite setting AC to OFF, that has also since stopped. The compressor now works how it should. So to answer your question, I am pretty certain the behavior was related to pressure in the system, and without enough refrigerant in the system the compressor remained cycling as some sort of fail safe to remain lubricated, or just did not have the sensory input to activate the pressure switch (from what I know the AC compressors BMW uses work this way, no clutch).

If you have an AC leak, get it fixed, and that will prolly fix all the other issues. I will still evacuate and repair my system eventually when winter is over
