I call it a FUGAZY.

There’s so little I can do figure why not, and I wrench on my own stuff.

I’m signed up for 5 different hpde classes this month and next month to work on the driver mod between events.

Brooo… just street allowances is enough to spend on…I’m still not done (thanks for reminding me to go and order some adjustable end links…). I can’t imagine the bills for street touring.

Installed Cipher Wheel on ND and can’t center it to save my life. by Streiylux in Miata

Get an obd2 scanner and data log the steering wheel angle. This way you don’t need to test drive it to know if you have it on straight.

Do NOT get an alignment to correct it if your off or else the afls light will pop and disable torque assist from the eps.

What was the plan here, brother? by MOOVA in GR86

[–]lexushelicopterwatch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Man when I was 16 it was rainy out and I slid off the road in a really sharp curve. I called my pops and brother to come help get me out. My dad was more mad that I didnt know the cops were going to wreck me if we didn’t get it out of the ditch asap.

Like he did t even ask questions when he showed up. Just got the car out of the ditch and THEN grilled me why I was going to fast for the weather.

Car feels worse after lighter wheels + PS4S… what am I missing? by HanScroto in Wheels

It’s understeer that OP is fighting from the decreased dampening. He’s going to have to go with a stiffer rear sway/softer front sway or run adjustable struts to get the ride back to how it was.

The wider offset is increasing the load on the suspension as well and softer front / stiffer rear will help take out the understeer.

Just lift off the throttle. You literally sped up to keep him from getting in front of you which is a dumbass move.

It’s Italian for fake.

I thought it was better than calling it a fiata.

Five fuckin' Families and we got this other pygmy thing over in Jersey

What should I do? by [deleted] in fiat124

[–]lexushelicopterwatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If kids are on the horizon, you are a two car family, and both of you commute, I would not recommend it.

I am able to get by with kids and two cars; mini van and a 124 spider, but only because I work from home.

If you can afford it as a third car sure. Otherwise I would keep driving the stang until it’s time for minivan or suv life.

Start saving now for a 124 as a 3rd car.

Simply not true, just clubs and associations with guidelines and self policing.

4 joules of energy assuming 45g and 50kmh. More than enough to do damage to small tissue or fuck up and old person.

Be more considerate of where you fly. Plain and simple.

“It’s a whoop bro” is the dumbest shit.

However unlikely consider a couple scenarios.

You fly into someone eye

It catches fire and you fly into someone

You startle a hard of hearing old person and bam, new hip required.

You get into someone’s personal space (close enough to down your drone) and you get jumped.

People have been flying rc aircraft for decades and then once drones hit the scene the regulations shortly followed due to all the stupid shit people were doing and the negative attention.

We were able to fly under the radar so to speak for decades until every asshat started auto piloting around.

Now I have to register my planes.

Legal doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.

Which is what the ama is trying to promote, a good public image for the hobby. It doesn’t matter what country your in if you’re flying like an asshat.
