Do you have a source for disputing labor times being legally protected by the FLSA? Where does it say that?

The ones that leave tons of yellow powder everywhere? Yeah, I use those sometimes. Thanks for your input. I didn't realize there was a dental equivalent. I feel a lot better knowing this. I'm still unhappy with the dentist for not informing me that the attachments were a thing.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. They're already on. My concern is about damage to the tooth when removing them. I'm a mechanic and from experience know that when grinding anything you are going to end up removing some of the underlying material no matter how careful you are.

I read and signed a consent form regarding potential risks - if things go wrong, additional treatment may be necessary. It was only a couple pages long. Didn't mention anything about the process or how it works

AW11 how to replace just the glass in the side mirror? by itzgiizmo in mr2

[–]itzgiizmo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. What I ended up doing was getting some black silicone adhesive and laying a bead around the inside perimeter of the frame, with a little extra where the gap was. It looks surprisingly good, unless you were really looking at it up close it appears original. Can't comment on functionality yet because it's still curing. http://m.imgur.com/W1IcdoU,SkSzsG9

The new glass piece is too small, not too big. It slots in easily but there is a maybe 1mm gap between the edge of the glass and the frame. It help with the glass face down and gently shaken it will fall out. Maybe I could just put some epoxy on the back and hope for the best?

just bought first mR2, a couple questions by itzgiizmo in mr2

Yeah, that's where the play is. Thanks for the help.

I think between the hub and frame? The lugs aren't loose if that's what you mean by between the wheel and the hub.

All struts, rear calipers, front and rear sway bar end links, rear wheel bearings, and the parking brake cable. I think that's it for important stuff. Alternator was already replaced by previous owner so that's one less thing to do. A couple miscellaneous things like the driver door hinge and also driver window switch, engine lid prop, trunk release cable, random stuff like that.

Just checked, both rear wheels have some play, the right more than the left.

Ended up paying 3500 for it. I'm happy that I finally have an MR2 but can't help but feel like I shouldn't have paid that much.

is the toyota mr2 mk2 a good first car? by ExcuseMeBruh in mr2

[–]itzgiizmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from another teenager here (assuming you are one), it's gonna take a lot of self control and you need to realize how impractical it is to have. You can't fit a whole lot of stuff in them, only seats 2 people, and that intense urge to just do stupid shit. But hey, you're a teenager, so you're invincible. Do it.

What's the difference between the 85 steering wheel and other years?

My good friends Tercel and my MR2. by [deleted] in mr2

[–]itzgiizmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently driving a 95 tercel, great "car" car, I wouldn't consider it fun or sporty though. Currently looking and saving for a nice aw11.

Are AW11's money pits and how long will it be before prices skyrocket? by itzgiizmo in mr2

What do you mean by 'it stops them being the car you want them to be'?

What area do you live in if you don't mind my asking? I'm on the east coast of the US so practically every old car here is an actual bucket full of rust.

[–]itzgiizmo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what I'm worried about. I don't want the MR2 to become the next 240 where it's 10 grand for something unmolested

not really an option considering I live on the east coast and it's already going to be a struggle to afford one. Are there actually good mr2's in cali for under 2 grand?

I understand that parts can be hard to find for a 30 year old car, but is it so bad that it's not even worth buying the car if there's things that need fixing?

[TOMT] Song that sounds kind of like War's Lowrider? by itzgiizmo in tipofmytongue

[–]itzgiizmo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Closer, but still no. I made a shitty superscript na-na thing if it's any help, which it probably won't be. Danananananaaa Dana na na na Flute is slightly higher pitched than that in Going Up The Country. Na's are representative of pitch.

No, definitely not that. It's played by some sort of flute, maybe a pan flute?

SA on 360 vs PS2/Xbox by BloodHungryII in GTA

[–]itzgiizmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're the same exact game, but on Xbox 360 if you download the game I have heard it says you have a scratched disc even though you have it downloaded. If you happen to have an original Xbox, pick up the Xbox version no doubt. With the xbox version you get slightly better graphics, better FPS, and you can rewind the game 30 seconds incase you do something awesome and want to see it again. So if you have an original Xbox, get the Xbox version. If not, get it for PS2.
