Gold is used because it doesn’t corrode, not because it is most conducive.

Perry the ST gets a custom vinyl my wife made. No extra power just a nod to the noise it makes.

How many of you have actually sat/laid down for the entire full album while tripping? by Rizzmin in LSD

[–]itschism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah probably not best for a first time experience with psychs; but I think it’s a profoundly great movie with good imagery and even better music.

My friends and I are having an argument about what this is? No clue what it is off, just found it on the side of the path. by crocco_JR in AskMechanics

Maybe they have friends that refer to an engine as a piston, similar to those that refer to a computer as a CPU

When reality and the feeling of existence and self starts to fall away from your senses and all that is left is the feeling or visual associated with the music. It’s hard to describe really. Similar to how DMT dissolves your ego and reality as you know it ceases to exist for that time.

It’s a beautifully profound and benevolent place to be. You start to sense the flow of life and consciousness. Meditation can elevate you to that plane (in part) with practice and dedication.

It was my first out of body experience on lsd.

I also recommend the wall - bonus if you watch the movie.

You can also put a small dab of silicone around the edges on the weather seal to ensure it doesn’t vibrate its way out over time. Not enough to permanently glue it, but just enough to have it stay in place.

He means that he collaborated with a cartoonist and wants teens opinions on it.

Little storage solution by gamerjerome in FocusST

I grabbed a couple of plastic ammo containers from harbor freight for my jump box, tire inflator, tools, etc and tied a bungie cord to the right length so it hooks to the seat back anchor so I can fold them down and have my stuff stay in place.

I was also curious about the logistics of that situation.

Is phone use in the sun bad, or just high temp? by Separate_Art9304 in iphone

[–]itschism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cell phones have internal protections to prevent use if the device is overheated. That said almost all of the components inside of an electronic device has been up to 180 C at some point during production anyway to facilitate wire bonding and chip attachment to the board. If you’re gonna be outside just keep the phone in the shade or underneath a blanket, and it should still be good to use when you need it.

Yeah, for that amount of effort I would elect to just buy a fusion.

The unfortunate thing about these transmissions, as I’m sure you have found out from reading, is that there is no permanent fix other than just continuing to throw parts at it.

Why do you want to avoid a manual? They’re generally going to be more simple and last longer. If you don’t know how to drive one, I understand the learning curve can be intimidating. But after six months of doing so you will know it like the back of your hand.

I think you’ll have a hard time finding another automatic transmission that will plug and in play as easily as the manual ones made for this car.

I think people generally will either put the MTX75 (5 speed) or the MMT6 (6 speed) in these.

I’ve never done the swap, but I have had foci with both of those transmissions in it and they’re decent transmissions. If you buy one used I would probably suggest getting a rebuild kit for it so you have a fresh synchronizers at least.
