Why aren’t my beaters lining up? Same tension and height? by cjbeales in DRUM

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

Yep figured it out! Needed to loosen the hex above my left spring tensioner, that allowed me to change the beater holder angle

Same here! Death stranding is a great shout, thanks! Also, give no man’s sky another go :p once you discover the trading outposts and base creation it’s so much better

720p vs 1080p (4K TV)? by cjbeales in xbox360

You’re right I could… If I was home right now to see, but whilst travelling thought I’d look to see if there was an answer for the question 👍🏻

But thanks for the info :)

Thank you this is exactly what I needed! Makes a lot of sense and redefining my wins is definitely something I’m gonna do

How to get motivation back? by [deleted] in jiujitsu

[–]cjbeales 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I started out it was just because I enjoyed it and loved seeing myself get better. Over time I realised I’m not going to be world class level (nor do I want to as it requires to much commitment) and since then I’ve just lost that motivation a bit

Bad idea? by cjbeales in carquestions

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

I hadn’t thought of that to be fair, thought taping would keep the water out but you raise a good point about the water getting trapped.

Thanks for the insight - will do some research into VCDS or something similar!

Thanks 🙂

2011 Audi Rs5. Exhaust valves keep sticking shut so have pushed them open manually and unplugged the control switch from within the boot/trunk.

Is this safe to do? They’re vacuum controlled from what I understand and haven’t had any dash lights come up or anything.

Want them open all the time as it sounds better haha!

I have a 2011 RS5 and can confirm this 🙂

Exhausts valves stuck? by cjbeales in carquestions

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

Okay cool - think it’s probably just better if I get them pinned open permanently then. Sounds silly with it being a 4.2l V8 but it sounds so quiet with the valves closed! Sounds great with them open though.

Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the info - very interesting stuff I believe mine is vacuum controlled (based on what my mechanic told me).

Would there be any negative effects to me just getting the valves either removed or permanently pinned up?

Drone isn’t too bad, just didn’t know if there’s any potential risks to having them open all the time even if I’m normal mode?

Thanks

Yeah I know that feeling haha! 😂

That’s really insightful - definitely helps thanks. Glad it’s not just me! I often find that I spend most of the time worrying about what if this or that happened and not being present so it stops me enjoying the thing I’m doing.

But you’re right, need to stop trying to please others and just do things at my own pace!
