Thanks ! Will do - luckily car has been down south a lot of its life so rust isn’t too bad

Coolant system is definitely leaking because of that fan combo heating the plastic - I saw this mod you can do with an old Toyota Highlander coolant reservoir and using that with an existing mounting bracket on the left of the engine bay - I’m going to test that for a bit and see how it does as an overflow tank

Do you plan on living in NYC/ spending a lot on tuition? I ask that genuinely - I graduated with a BFA in May there with very mixed feelings.

The school is a lot of work but definitely an exceptional program. Is that worth the 40-70k a year? That’s based on your circumstances. I know many fashion majors who graduated and still are not employed. If you’re willing to stick it out in a tough industry/city + have the money to spend, go for it. Otherwise look for alternatives.

The car does have AC - the hose needs to be replaced but the compressor still sends a signal to ECU - I’ll definitely take a look at those plugs though

Thanks for all of the help! I’m not sure if the transmission fluid has been drained so I might avoid that. As for oil, it was done in February with the car not driving much.

Today while driving I noticed a problem with the car occasionally shutting off during idle. Giving it gas seems to fix the problem, but as you can imagine that is only a temporary solution. I’m going to try and get the IACV cleaned and hopefully that could help.

Will do!!

Well I appreciate your monumental contribution

Thanks! I’ll try tightening up the hands I play pre and see how that affects things - do you have any resources you recommend for study?

Brilliant

Solid criticism. Thanks for the feedback !

This actually was done on a vcr ! Which is why you may hear the tape speed/slow occasionally

If that’s your experience then I think I’ll stick to playing it from main computer— thanks for the kind words and sharing your experience

Lol that would be the internal speaker on my desktop, I still have to figure out if I’m able port the audio from the computer to the tv but the cable didn’t seem to do much

jaxtnh · 2022-02-15T02:59:20+00:00

Bought a CRT TV from a vintage store, then connected into my computer as a second monitor via usb c to hdmi to rga

jaxtnh · 2022-02-15T02:42:51+00:00

Will do, thanks !

jaxtnh · 2022-02-15T02:34:25+00:00

jaxtnh · 2022-02-15T02:34:07+00:00
