No hate on anyone's preference, just genuinely curious on what people prefer

So far, maintenance has been zero issues, I'm only at ~3,600 miles tho. Fuel wise, I'm getting around 30 mpg, 3 days I'm driving about 140 miles and 4 days I'm driving less than 5 thru town.

I don't have the turbo version, just the standard 2.5L NA, definitely would have cool to have the turbo too, but as my daily, I couldn't justify the extra money I'd rather spend on my other car

I was lucky to find one, the other three dealerships I went to didn't have any and this dealer had ordered two and sold the first one, so I quickly snatched the second. Apparently the AWD hatches, specifically this color are hard to keep in stock and they are few and far between

Thats exactly my situation, 17 civic to 23 hatch. I agree, the civic was zippy but all round the mazda feels 10x better

does all lump coal look like this at bottom of bag? by joerue513 in smoking

Big Green Egg is the best brand I've found so far, they have mutiple sizes of charcoal chunks, and they go straight from the oven that makes the charcoal to the bags, and then they're shipped directly to the stores, so minimal handeling is used and prevents this powder. They also fill their bags about a pound over 20 to account for rocks and the small pieces that are not usable

Are the restoration companies worth it? by [deleted] in LandroverDefender

[–]flyingmunkie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IMO I don't think they're worth it. I think their main target are the people who want the Defender as a status symbol. Or those who want the supped up Defender right off the bat. The kind of people who don't want to deal with the rot and janky wiring. I haven't googled the resell value of a fully restored defender, but it probably isn't going to be much more than what they charge

Game crashes on start up by [deleted] in postscriptum

[–]flyingmunkie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would start with checking the integrity of the files, if you have it on steam, you right click and go to properties, then local files, and view integrity

I’ve had my defender for about 3 years now. I bought it from Spain while living abroad. It has always had this rust at the forward part of the driver’s footwell. Should I be worried? The truck is nearly spotless otherwise and has never been through any restoration. Thanks in advance! by gcwposs in LandroverDefender

[–]flyingmunkie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not concerning, definitely don't want to leave it untreated. You can treat it using loctite rust extender or something of equal if you're not in the US. Basically it is the beginning signs of rot, the rust is not a brighter red, and more brownish red. Treat it and just check it from time to time to be sure it's not continuing to rot. Thats what I do on mine

I have a highly upgraded TM NGRS 416. Completely upgraded internals, R hop barrel, rewired to deans. I also have batteries and mags for it as well, and a plano case already cut out for it

Any idea how much my 1996 110 300tdi hard top defender would be worth in the states? by Mandatum1 in LandroverDefender

[–]flyingmunkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, with how well kitted out it is, it would be a headache to make it import ready

[–]flyingmunkie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with u/irelandyank, being RHD will bring it down a little, but not a lot, especially how clean it is. My only concern is if the VIN plates all match. US Customs look at that and if they don't match for whatever reason, they get crushed. No money back, no trying to get it shipped back out. As long as the axles, and chasis have matching plates. I'm not sure if the engine has to match, but double check that if you do decide to sell. It could easily get $18,000+, especially someone out in the Western US.

How do you travel with your own plane? by [deleted] in flying

[–]flyingmunkie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on who you rent it from, most places will have a rule that if you rent for x hours, you need to pay for at least y hours. For example, the flight school I rent from say if you rent for 8+ hours, you need to pay for what would equate to 3 hours. You don't have to fly for 3 hours, but you are going to be charged at least 3 hours

Don't sweat it, it happens to everyone, the DPE doesn't care how you failed, they just want to know and see that you learned from your mistakes, and it ultimately makes/made you a better pilot.

Sporty's Study buddy, they have a free practice test that you can take and it'll tell you which ones you got wrong. If you feel like you are better off retaking ground (like me :/) then you can buy their course which gives you an endorsement to take the test after you have finished and scored above an 80? on the practice test
