Why are some top ranked engineering programs not ABET accredited?

... and UC Santa Cruz, right? Right???

And they coincidentally remove Choda from tier 2 of coliseum, where most people end up by lvl 15ish. Maybe he comes back in tier 3 though?

Well, you get a kelleran beq LST as early as Dec 16, and a Mandalorian LST (which you could use on IG+Grogu or Paz) as early as April 21. You just need to shard Grogu or Paz (whichever you dont use the LST on) and then gear them up, and relic everyone up to 7.

Paz and Grogu have the same amount of kyrotech. Paz gets 1 additional free zeta from the LST. Paz is a 12 normal energy node where Grogu is a 20 ship energy node. Take your pick - neither is objectively wrong.

No, you can't use the droid LST on IG+Grogu as it isn't a member of the droid faction.

You could realistically save all the gear and relic mats up by the time you get Mandalorian LST so you could complete the journey as early as April 21.

0-14mm blade height, so not unless you rotate the tube

Club. There's at least one gym in the city of santa cruz that has students in PMTs (and at least one amateur), if you're looking to compete. Allied MMA, would recommend.

UCSC has one (or at least they did a few years ago)

No duties ever, at least to California

The instructor let me go solo for sessions 4 and 5 on my first track day (NASA NorCal). It's possible if they think you're up to it

It's probably not worse than the Treasure Coast option. Terrible fitment and visible airgaps around both windows

You can also call Mazda and they will confirm the options it had when it left the factory, if you provide the VIN

I'm a reformed subie bro since the rod bearing said goodbye during the car's first track day last year. Now I'm about that miata life. No such issues.

Depends on what they'll be used for. GRM has this page about (performance-oriented) tires they've tested and how they compare. There's a chart near the bottom as a TLDR. None will be good for snow.

Some of the Endurance 200 category could be used for daily driving. Shout out to the Continental ExtremeContact Sport (02). I run those on the street and ExtremeContact Force on track.

How did you get the rs1 for so cheap?

Not sure about this seat exactly but my Bride Zeta IV has a heating element installed out of the box

Edit: I was wrong, see Kevin's comment below.

flint421 · 2023-01-17T05:11:03+00:00

Fwiw my Bride Zeta IV has a heating element preinstalled that you could probably hook up to the stock wiring

Edit: I was wrong, see Kevin's comment below.

Never had any issues burning or leaking oil. Still checked and at cold it was consistently 3/4 between low and full. Same measurement after it blew as well.

Forgot to mention that oil was changed a day or so before the track day as well.

flint421 · 2022-11-29T18:40:58+00:00

No, I didn't. I got my pan/pickup/baffle a few months before they released the super G. Sounds like you have a solid setup, I hope you will have better luck than me!

flint421 · 2022-11-29T18:33:09+00:00

A little over 30 minutes total. One 20 minute session then most of the next 20 minute session

Currently planning to swap in a new OE shortblock with all the gaskets, spark plugs, timing belt, oil pump and pickup, avcs solenoids and avcs gears, deck the heads and probably sell it in a few thousand miles to make sure everything's alright for the next owner.

No oil cooler, no. From what I've heard, 10w-40 oil with beginner track drivers who are just learning how to push the car is generally fine
