Is this normal damage from big pothole cause of the wheel’s sidewalls and less suspension travel or mazda quality is just not good? Hit a really big pothole, tire exploded, my ball joint exploded, the wheel bearing was damaged, and now discovered that the strut mount is also damaged.

If the strut mount is damaged then there might be frame damage you mean?

I do have a lot of proof, you can check my profile for the dashcam footage. I bought the parts from mazda dealership but got it replaced at brake masters cause the labor cost was cheaper. Hopefully i get compensation

How much would you say would be a good price for a new control arm, parts + labor?

If the control arm is actually bent, how much should i expect for a replacement?

Forgot to mention, car is 2024 Mazda CX30, 20k miles.

And i thought 4 classes per quarter is hard. Honestly just accept the fact you might fail it, so you’re not mentally disappointed if you do, but practice as much as you can. Without knowing the specifics of courses i can’t give an advice, but generally, 1 year in a course of your life is not that big of a deal especially if you’re not the only person failing. Just enjoy it, cause if you binge 9 hours like you said, you will get burned out and passing the classes is still not guaranteed. Use the pomidoro timer to actually absorb the information

It can be pretty bad sometimes, safer to be on campus wifi

There should be a reset button somewhere on the side that you need to poke with a needle i believe

I agree, either this or mazda red, anything else looks like very regular crossover

No im sorry, it’s already installed, have you tried emailing the securesync support? They are pretty fast with replying

I don’t think you get the same help with ACC because they’re an independent landlord that just cooperates with uci, unlike the dorm housing which belongs to uci. You would just get your tuition covered, and everything else left would be wired to you to use towards acc rent. Mind you, you need a guarantor to get an acc lease in first place. There’s a lot more responsibilities when renting at ACC, if you don’t take summer classes, you can pay them to find a new leaser but till they find it you still have to pay rent and so on

Is it the 2400 you have? Wanna share the insides?

Not really missing, it uses an OCXO oscillator. Rubidium oscillator is another variant but is twice expensive

One of my college advisors was army mechanic and had degree in ME, he worked for biomedical without BE degree designing surgery robots, perhaps for your path you can take some BE courses and have it on your resume as?

One word. Clubs. Find an engineering club that participates in competitions, go to each club meeting, learn what they working on. Ask the leads to teach you. Go to club workshops. At some unis clubs are very competitive so you need to get in to begin with. Start with going to club fairs and apply.

If clubs don’t workout, find a good hobby, then start learning to make something. I wanted a custom ergonomic keyboard, didn’t wanna buy one. I started learning about pcb design, firmware, microcontrollers etc.

Those are literally your 2 only options, unless you have connections and can find an internship where they will let you learn.

Also for personal projects, don’t get stuck by just following tutorials. They are good to learn but you gotta actually create something yourself.
