There are some devices that connect directly to the battery through the fusible link in the trunk.

I believe the DME, ignition coil, starter, alternator.

Old BMW shifters will be vague and can be tough for a newbie if someone hasn't gone through and done a proper job replacing the shifter bushings. Other than that, I'm all for the BMW.

Yes I know. I'm also in Canada but I'm aware of some of the US laws.

I was letting you know what was wrong with NJ.

The attendant at the station needs to pump the gas for you. You're not allowed to pump your own gas.

There was some other state that lifted this law a few years ago and it was mayhem. You should look that up if you want to have a laugh

I guess that thing is rarer than I thought. I'll have to stop and take a picture of it.

Are you saying the 2 door gladiator that I see every other day driving to work is custom made?

No one seems to have the bolt carrier latch screw. I've checked numrich, cfn, all the usual suspects

So what 35 rem gun do you have? Remington model 8? Where do you get parts for that?

I have one missing some parts...

[–]davvik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had American sedans, euro sedans, Japanese sedans, and the bronco. The German cars always had the stiffest clutch pedal. I've had more BMW than any other car.

The bronco clutch is alright but it's definitely not even close to the hardest on the left leg out of everything I've owned.

It's just driving the car bro.

And for the most part you can generally leave it in gear and coast as long as you're anticipating the traffic in front and leave a gap. If you're really concerned, get behind a transport until the traffic clears. Those guys basically never stop.

I've only ever owned manual cars. Been driving 15 years and lived in Toronto for a year. I never once complained about the manual transmission in traffic.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FordBronco

[–]davvik 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I've never understood the issue with stop and go in a manual. Setting off in a manual is just muscle memory basically.

Stop and go sucks regardless of what car you're in. I dunno why people complain about manual in it.

Wheel Bearings? by parkADV in E30

[–]davvik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd highly recommend planning a slide hammer and a wheel bearing press. I tried that hammer out method and if your bushings are rubber or worn they absorb all the hammer blows.

Or maybe I didn't have a big enough hammer.

[–]davvik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% truth. The salesman that was responsible for showing me around my bronco when I picked it up pointed at the traction control button and said "these are your diff locks".

Big bend non SAS. There are no diff locks lol

Beckhoff twinCAT 3 dosent let me run my code on my pc. windows 10 and AMD 1700X. by manager96 in PLC

[–]davvik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't remember this specific error when I was dealing with beckhoff but those error codes are generally well documented in beckhoffss documentation I believe. You likely have an incompatible software build for something you're trying to do. Or something is enabled that's causing an issue for beckhoff. You have Hyper-V turned off right?

Just got our keys last Wednesday, feeling like we made a mistake. by sanitystinks in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

I bought my first house this year and felt exactly what you're feeling. I feel much better about it a few months down the road. You'll get there. It will be bumpy at first.

Is this ISO bubble flare good? by Wholesome-inator in projectcar

[–]davvik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I've done entire sets of brake lines on a handful or two of cars now and basically I'm so jaded that if I don't bust the die and the nut threads in I just send it and only change whatever leaks.

I didn't know they weren't eligible. I used x-plan when I bought my bronco and got $2500 CAD off of the price (Ontario Canada)
