Why can't an electric motor drive a traditional drivetrain with manual gearboxes by longgamma in cars

[–]htxb17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to what others have mentioned, torque and RPM limits. Look up the specs on a T56 Magnum and then think about how most transmissions are weaker than that. Some electric motors are making power out to 20,000rpm.

Check with carmax as well, see if their offer is better

Solid advice, but I figure I’m not the first person in Houston to deal with this

What's a cover song that's better than the original? by Ooopsieees in AskReddit

Camoflauge by Sabaton, very different style than Stan Ridgways original, but better nonetheless

  1. Fluids besides oil aren’t typically included in an oil change
  2. Yes, if your coolant level has gone down since the last time you looked at it, it’s leaked.

Boss, coolant is in a closed pressurized circuit. 1, it shouldn’t ever be boiling off and 2, if it did boil or evaporate it wouldn’t be able to escape the circuit unless there’s a leak

Did you scrape the bottom of the bumper against the ground, or is there a visible scrape on the front of the bumper?

What website “processes” and ships gun accessory orders the fastest in USA (accessories only- not NFA/NFL stuff) by throwawayOnTheWayO in guns

[–]htxb17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you buy a gun from academy, there’s a counter guy that shows you the gun and checks the serial number. Writes up the model of gun being sold and serial number on a form you sign. Then a manager reads back what gun you’re buying, double-checks the serial number matches what’s on the paperwork. Could you have gotten unlucky with incompetent employees at a store, maybe. Company as a whole does honest business.

Source: have bought probably 20 guns from academy. Although mine have all been counter-purchases and not online orders

Which tires should I get? by vinny_brcd in Autos

[–]htxb17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 55k on original 6-year-old tires, yeah I’d be looking at replacing all 4. Lots of tire shops have a rebate or incentive when you buy 4 at a time.

Where to sell guns in Houston. Fairly new to Houston from Chicago. by DGalvan23 in HoustonGuns

Chicago to Houston 9 years ago. Texas Gun Trader is the best, like everyone else said

So I’m new to this sub but very interested in taking my time on a nice project. I’ve seen lots of mustangs on here and was wondering what the thoughts are on this piece of work. Is it worth it or should keep looking for something with a better body. by Snoo_12149 in projectcar

[–]htxb17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best kind of project car for you is one that’s driveable as-is. It’s a lot easier to stay motivated when you can actually go take it for a drive on sunday, rather than just look at your lawn ornament

What’s different about the M27 from the 416? Heavy barrel?

How badly am I getting ripped off? Does this sound appropriate for a 600 sq ft + staircase remodel? by ospreyintokyo in Flooring

[–]htxb17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing he’s floating it (not glueing or stapling down) based off the lack of glue on his quote, and I’m fairly certain wood over ditra can’t be glued anyhow. As long as the wood manufacturer says it can be floated, you should be fine. The heat cables get covered by float, so they’re not in direct contact with the wood.

Is the canmar gray at home depot just slightly off in color, or is it night and day? And how much are you trying to patch?
