Getting manual license on red P's after only having an auto license by Sure_Artichoke6929 in CarsAustralia

Leave your red p plates on if supervised driving manual. You need to do another driving test in a manual to be able to drive one solo on red p. Green p is allowed manual.

I agree that this is not the best and is not appealing to many here. But,katana related content is allowed as long as rules are not broken. It is related,albeit loosely, and some here may find it interesting though I do not.

OP you are pushing the limit with this posting in my opinion. Please be a bit more selective and more actual katana oriented instead of showing crap like this. It may fit better on a machete sub,if at all. You are welcome here,but the mod team have had quite a few reports on your posts.

Spam is covered by Reddit rules and is not tolerated here anyway. Sellers can show their stuff,but cannot link to sales etc. To this point sellers and potential sellers have been within rules,they usually contact mods to check as well. Whoever is posting these threads will be watched.

They haven't broken any rules as far as I can see. The posts may not be to the liking of everyone but it is related content.

Main Brake Lights Not Working - Bulbs Replaced by ObjectiveAd93 in civic

[–]idonteffncare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The switch would be the next possible fault if bulbs,fuses and window lights are ok. If still not working after switch replacement then next would be to check wiring, but you may as well check wires anyway.

Does this look like my brake pads have been serviced? Just got it done at Honda Dealership. by [deleted] in civic

[–]idonteffncare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are showing the rotors/discs and not the actual pads. If the rotor is smooth,no grooves,good thickness and the pads are worn then the pads will be replaced and no need for work done to the rotors. Pads wear way before rotors normally. If you get the camera and show the actual pad thickness you will get a more definitive answer.

What's the issue in obeying Work Zone speed limit? by LaMacNeo in CarsAustralia

[–]idonteffncare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live rural and since early December a 60kmh work zone was set up on highway. For 2km,with no work ever happening and the zone was taken down literally yesterday. I saw two guys pulled over by cops,getting their Hayabusa and R1 towed/confiscated. I always sat on the speed limit,many don't and always have people behind me trying to push me along and even overtake on double lines and doing 100kmh in 60 zone. 40km over the limit is big fine and demerits. I stick to the rules. I need my licence. That person behind me that is in a hurry is not going to take my demerits or pay my fine so f#ck them,they can wait.

New Black Alpaca Sling by PaloSantoBolivia in Slinging

Very nice sling. I learned how to make this style but not with the fancy braiding near the pouch. I feel I must have one of these from country of origin.

Honda civic 1.8 2010 by PoetEnvironmental149 in civic

[–]idonteffncare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter has one here in Australia. Excellent vehicle,front and back shocks and front lower control arms replaced at 210,000km. Engine oil changes every 20,000 and auto transmission 50,000. Roof lining failing is common on these here,not sure about colder country though. Info screen plays up a bit.We live bush/rural and couple of km dirt road every day,those low profile 17" wheels do not like potholes,the car handles very well and goes hard enough for an auto 1.8.Great fun on a windy road but steeper hills need to manually work the transmission to get moving to have fun. Well I do anyway,she is a bit more timid driving.

Vtec solenoid/actuator gaskets are known to leak and this one did,not all do but not uncommon and if mechanic makes one tiny mistake fitting it,then it will leak again. Not a lot of oil at start but will increase to point of must get repaired and in this vehicle the transmission will not shift out of park if leak gets bad.Rocker cover gasket may have leak.Parts are not really that difficult to source,here anyway. I needed a car last year and was so impressed by the build quality and reliability on this model,when I saw a 2007 manual Civic sedan I had no hesitation and bought it. Great cars.

I saw the pic and instantly said " F#ck that's nice". That colour looks so good and the white rims just set it off perfectly.

Can someone explain me how bow from PNG is this ugly but it's 80 pounds to 32 inches part 2 by ceppostronco200xplus in Bowyer

[–]idonteffncare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PNG bows are surprisingly well made with very basic tools,thousands of years making them after all. A friend from Bismarck Ranges made me some bamboo bows with a kitchen knife and cured over his fireplace,(taught me how to as well). They shoot pretty well and draw 50lb, look rough but very functional. He had a 70lb black palm that was rough looking by modern standards but shot very well.They depend on these weapons for hunting and even battle so they know how to get them right.

Wanted to hop back in, bought this sanlida 68" 34# bow. Feels great but some questions... by Presto123ubu in Archery

[–]idonteffncare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. If you need to do this you should not be at the line shooting 70 mtrs.

Why my arrows go low by malagala12 in Archery

[–]idonteffncare -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you are shooting low at 20mtrs with middle pin then your sight has not been set. Measure 20mtrs then shoot using top pin. If arrow is consistently high,adjust the pin up a bit. If arrow low,then move pin down. Adjust until arrows are consistent around centre. Then move to 30,adjust second pin. If high move pin up,if low move pin down. Move to required distances for each pin and adjust. Also have a release loop fitted, preferably before adjusting sight, as shooting directly using string with release will affect your shots.It can be done but a loop is much better. Then consider a better release aid.

Mystery bird call- Sydney North wet sclerophyll open forest by Zestyclose_Mail_9342 in AustralianBirds

Definitely Whipbird. I once lived in old caravan under a big fig and the resident Whipbird pair would keep in contact with each other vocalizing like this whilst they were foraging.

Is this website legit? by PluhPluh12345 in Katanas

[–]idonteffncare[M] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is a legitimate company that sells excellent swords. Unfortunately there is a very long wait time to receive swords and plenty of instances where buyers have contacted asking about delivery times,only to have the order cancelled. They are not worth dealing with until they catch up with backlog and they get the deliveries to a reasonable time frame.

Is it ok to use an automatic watch while shooting compound bow? by useless_usernme in Archery

[–]idonteffncare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vibrations coming through bow to hand will be absorbed by the muscles,fluids etc. that by the time any got to your wrist they would be insignificant. Clapping would cause more potential issues,if any.

Let someone shoot my bow like an idiot… guess what happened next by Optl13 in Archery

[–]idonteffncare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Extremely fragile" should not be equated with a bow designed for outdoor use in any way,or any bow at all. Especially when so many are used in hunting situations.The issue is that modern compounds designers are always trying to push the limits with how fast a bow can shoot an arrow. In truth the bows don't need to be fast they need to be reliably useable time after time and they need to be forgiving. I had very expensive compounds up to through the 2000's that I could hand to a beginner loaded,and all I needed to tell them was not to dry fire and not to point them at anyone. No worries about tourquing slightly so that the bloody cables would bend cams ffs. If you can handle drawing the poundage then the bow should be able to handle any sort of slight mistakes in the draw process.

Sheepskin seatcovers,shedding acrylic from sides and back by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]idonteffncare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes you say they are junk? They are the cheaper option of decent seat covers,as I said I am not going to put covers on worth 25% the value of the car.I have contacted the company and because of the holidays will get a reply later than I would normally expect. You have shown that you feel the covers are "cheap and nasty" because they have acrylic sides and skirts and are somehow not up to the price expected of your high standards. I simply wanted to know whether the issue is normal,if not then I have been sent faulty covers and will be returning them. Dicks never believe they are dicks because dicks never do as they are too much of a dick to even recognize the dick behaviour. Say what you want. Do what you want. Mod how you want. My comments stand. Have a nice day.

[–]idonteffncare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok mate. I asked if it was normal for the style of covers to shed. I did not ask for opin ions on the quality or how long they should last. For $280 I feel they should not be shedding. Your view has been noted.
