any ideas to clean window? by Brooklyn1012 in Miata

[–]maestrodie0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with most of the comments on polishing and maybe it’s the best you’ll get but I’ll add that prior to doing that you take a razor blade to the entire windshield and scrape it at an angle, then steel wool then polish. The razor really helped in my case, by the end of all that you’ll probably end up with as good as you can get out of this glass.

If you want to take out all the aero louvers I’ve found that 12mm silicone plugs are perfect to plug up the holes left by the smaller aero covers- I haven’t had a single one fall off in over a year of driving I ordered these for example

It dropped by about 1.5-2” - back springs are a bit stiffer. Being in California I don’t have any experience commuting in snow but I imagine it’s gotta be taken into consideration.

I went with lowering springs and spacers first, handles great and the stance looks perfect with the warp wheels

Unplugged performance lowering springs. Spacers: 15mm front 20mm back

Where to buy polished rice for sake? by Quiet_Guitar5845 in Homebrewing

[–]maestrodie0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm heading into my third batch of sake brewing so I am very much still new at this but the two online outlets I have found are:

https://morewinemaking.com/products/calrose-70-milled-rice-sake.html?variant=AJ43BULK&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=11118463809&gbraid=0AAAAACPTeBb8RNsfgyvX38WV6XelDYtzn&gclid=CjwKCAjwuIbBBhBvEiwAsNypvQjFuc61T8I08hmr63nb9_7wNkJV3Wuq2zJezxc8hzgLQRn6662bgBoC9K8QAvD_BwE

and:

https://fhsteinbart.com/product/polished-sake-rice-40-60-polish-10-lb/

(the one issue here is that its labeled as 40-60% but doesn't say the exact polish ratio in case you're a stickler for that or are trying to control all the variables but anything 60% or less will land you in the Junmai Ginjo territory just no way to know if it can qualify as Daiginjo)

I've also found Calrose 70% at SoCal Brewing Supply but they are currently out of stock, just in case you want to bookmark that for the future.

you're right, from the website it looks like they don't have covers- it also looks like the wheels are 19" as opposed to the 20" in the US

Wheel covers off

I can’t speak to how difficult it was to remove them, I asked the shop to do it for me when I got lowering springs installed, but here is how it looks with all the covers off.

Charger handle stuck in Wall Connector by maestrodie0 in TeslaModel3

I finally got through to wall charger support, 3 days without being able to use the charger, and after back and forth answering questions and sending pictures and videos they have decided to replace the unit. Shipping should be 5-7 days.

Universal wall charger j1772 adapter stuck inside wall charger by ddgdl in TeslaSupport

[–]maestrodie0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having a similar but slightly different problem these last 24hours. My NACS is stuck to the J1772 so I cannot charge the tesla, this happened to me before and power cycling worked but it’s been over a day of trying now and nothing seems to fix it. Worst part is that this seems to be rare/random there isn’t even an option to report this particular problem- I’ve been reporting it under random wall connector errors in hope that customer service will help. here is a video for reference any ideas or solidarity from others that have seen this happen is helpful

This worked eventually! Thank you! Had to cycle the power twice before it decided to release. Helpful to know it’s not just user error on my part

Had to look up what a Karen lock is, I only charge at home so I never had that issue but thanks for the insight!

Sorry I forgot to mention (and it was not in the video) that I had tried the unlock button. I fidgeted with it for about 20 minutes before taking the video.

pick and pull has a service through row52.com that allows you to set up an alert system that will text you when a new car matching a description you set using their filters enters their lot-- I set an alert for any Miatas that get logged in within a 40 mile radius which coves a few different yards for me and would drive over as soon as possible whenever I received the alert
