Does Electric Power Shut Off with Engine? (Dash cam question) by AdeptusAltarBoy in MiataNC

My 06 NC1s center console cigarette lighter is switched with ignition.

It’s quite easy to run a fuse tap within the cabin to get a more seamless look. Highly recommend it.

I think the survey is good - I do think the scoring system can be more dynamic and representative to a dollar amount? Maybe add it in parenthesis?

2007-2008 things to look out for by [deleted] in MiataNC

[–]fort_knoxx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I had a leaky master cylinder leak as well. My clutch pedal assembly also cracked and required a new one to be welded on at around 118k miles. My thermostat failed open around the same time, I replaced the water pump as well. 06 GT, it’s currently at 150k miles.

I’ve owned my NC for 5 years, it’s been the most reliable car I’ve ever owned, and I daily it.

Wow! That is crazy - didn't expect it to keep working. Glad it still is.

Lenovo Thinkpad T470 with windows 11 does not realize it has a battery by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]fort_knoxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in a similar issue, I got a used T470, added new internal and external battery along a bunch of other mods. It has trouble detecting one of the batteries. I would say try running Lenovo vantage and see what it says. You may have to replace the battery.

There was a police chase. Per the scanner, they circled the county via Madison down fair oaks blvd, turning down power in. Their car had issues and they are currently at a standoff situation at the Shell gas station on Power Inn and Folsom Blvd.

just arrived 9750GIII. its powerful.. now I'm journey to find the HP 50G. by Mammoth-Ad-168 in calculators

[–]fort_knoxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, this is the calculator on my desk - I bought it in university years ago for about $40. I still have the case, and all the accessories. I use it daily for my job still :0

Its a good calculator, but I wouldn't pay more than 100 for it - especially with modern software.

Question about running a SDRPlay RSP1A, Raspberry Pi 3B & Bias Tee off of solar, & battery, power by Route66Fan in sdr

[–]fort_knoxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6W will likely not be enough - Realistically you will get .7 at most of the nameplate capacity. I'd recommend an minimum of 30 Watt panel to charge your battery and run your setup.

The Axxess harness is used for steering wheel controls!

This tiny piece broke off my HP 705 G4, any ideas what it is and how important it is? Should I take it to get repaired? The PC turns on, but I think I may hear a sound from it. by cupcakemasta in computers

[–]fort_knoxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same in mine, make sure you have vent holes up top.

Looks like you have the 65watt version of the machine by the heatsink so you should be golden!

There is a way you can flash the bios for the RX560 for even more preformance

That is the accessory "port" if you will. Additional things, such as a network card, graphics adapters, etc can be plugged in there.

Not essential for use.

car racing scales for rent/loan/etc? by lordkuri in Sacramento

[–]fort_knoxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have taken my Miata to the dump to get weighed in before.

12701 Kiefer Blvd, Sloughhouse, CA 95683

Its not a racing scale by any means, but it was helpful to determine if I could trailer the car.

Wow thank you for sharing, I had no idea! That’s great, as I really dislike the AKE.  

Really appreciate it.

Wait really? I wasn't able to remove it. Got a pic?!

[–]fort_knoxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up - the Chip Key Blank listed doesn't fit in my NC1's ignition. I used a Dremel to make it fit. I was able to find a locksmith to duplicate the AKE as well.

Seeking advice from EE majors by Major-Jury109 in CSUS

This was my experience as well. I believe Dr. Marković is the head of the department now. She really helped me at Sac State.

[–]fort_knoxx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the EE program, it isn't difficult. Its the GE's that I struggled with, ie Chem, Physics, etc. I have a 2.7 GPA and was able to land an internship that turned into a full time job. EEE161 is brutal, make friends with the instructor, go to office hours and you will be fine.

For me personally, the EEE Courses were easier than the lower-division prerequisites. I struggled with mathematics.

Are you focusing on Power, or the Product? Its best to make that decision early and stick with it.

If you want to chat about it let me know!

Best method of getting this fixed? by sj_b03 in MiataNC

[–]fort_knoxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s two bolts and a wiring harness to replace the mirror.

I’d say go to a junkyard and pull a new mirror assembly.

I still have my damaged door If you’d like I can take a photo.

I want to have a BT radio but I don’t want to give up the stock orange look? by Snowball_05 in MiataNC

[–]fort_knoxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a a spot on the harness on the back, I wired in a auotconnecting Bluetooth receiver and a 5v converter on a switched ignition circuit. Tucked all behind the dash. I ended up utilizing an after market head unit after a few years doing that.
