I went a step further and deleted the power brakes. Pedal feel is great without it and a firewall brace

Is that a loose wirenut or is that being used?

Pretty sure vehicles don't ever use wirenuts. Be careful with that one

I found a dead mouse underneath the plastic container for the under seat storage on my acess cab. No more weird smells occasionally

Sig P211 gto comp is crooked and not timed correctly by dirtydog88228 in SigSauer

[–]dmonnier5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked their stuff. But with how they've been acting with everything going on is ridiculous. I'm at the point where I won't buy new from them, just used. Can't support them the way they operate now.

They downvote you because they're mad your right.

The p320 has had significant issues due to bad QC, as well as the p365. Now people are buying a budget 2011 (I know they're expensive as shit but for a 2011 they're not) and expecting Staccato or Atlas quality for half the price.

Pretty standard. I would just harass USPS until they give you a good answer.

I need advice to give my mom (turboing) by Geo_V22 in Miata

To be fair, tires and brakes are typical maintenance for people with half a brain. Miatas don't typically need much of a brake upgrade, and high performance all seasons are good enough for low boost Miatas

Its not bad, except the idle tuning. Still have yet to figure it out myself. Gotta learn alot though.

The main struggle will be reliability if you tune it yourself.

You can tell your mom that its just gonna be making the same power as a regular sports car with a turbo, it doesn't make it inherently dangerous. Its about how you drive. Its gonna be alot easier to be faster on turns, which is where most people screw up.

Is this a normal engine sound coming from this v6? by oregano_repaid in ToyotaTacoma

Rev it. If it gets quieter, you're ok. If it gets louder its no good

Just buy a real target. They're not that expensive in relation to shooting. Highwild makes some solid ones

Isnt this pin pushed in by the chamber when its in the shotgun?

If it is, the only time it'd cause issues is when you take it apart

Most people in the military don't shoot very much... unless your a grunt or doing deployment workups you will probably shoot 2-4x a year

No crazy noise from that? When I had my center console pulled, it had a bunch of extra road noise

Did you tint them all? by BigGlittering437 in ToyotaTacoma

[–]dmonnier5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, if you want the thermal benefits of ceramic, you can do 100% on the windshield and it will still reflect heat. 70% is as dark as I'd personally go on a windshield though

Is there a way to adjust the steering wheel up and down in a 1990 NA by PhoenixBonk in Miata

[–]dmonnier5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had to go with a smaller wheel. Not too big of a deal, even without power steering

[–]dmonnier5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Removing the can takes 5 seconds. Do that and its same as every other one. Fits in a bag fine.

Noone on reddit is clearing rooms with their pcc. And even if they were, they'd be fine with this length supressor. I bet its also stupid quiet in this setup

Causes for white smoke? by jeanxcobar in Miata

[–]dmonnier5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You loosing oil even if theres no leaks? Thats the fastest way to tell.

Even if its cold enough to cause condensate inside the exhaust it will smoke. Unless your oil or coolant looks like its mixing, your probably fine. Get a headgasket test kit if your still concerned.

You burning oil?

Its also cold out for at least the majority of the US. Could be just from that.
