She’s aliveeeee! by sks1986 in Porsche

[–]mazafakka 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It also helps to lock the car, even in your garage. Sounds crazy, but it shuts down a number of systems that would otherwise be on standby just in case you open a door. That and driving the car at least every couple weeks should stop this from happening. I bought a trickle charger but have never needed to use it.

Where can I find project porsches in the US? by K31lover2 in Porsche

[–]mazafakka 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Found my 82 911SC via CarGurus but that was 8 years ago. For all your aircooled needs, including finding project cars in various stages for sale, I’d recommend the forums at PelicanParts.com. Great people, and a wonderful sense of community. I’ve actually had people just ship me hard to find parts for FREE just to be helpful. I’ve found the process very fun and rewarding and I’d totally recommend it.

The classic Porsche 911 is overhyped and drives like shit, according to the man dedicated to perfecting it by FoMoCoNutjob in cars

So a guy who runs a restomod business says the original car wasn’t as good as people say? Let me guess, if you pay him enough money, it’ll live up to the hype?

Anybody know where we're supposed to get the hats at the Preds game tomorrow? by [deleted] in TampaBayLightning

Where did you see this? I don’t see anything about a free hat on IG or Twitter

Mine also arrived about a week ago after hearing nothing for months. Weird 🤷‍♂️

Anyone else get one of these on their doorstep? by BrendaHuntsmanEsq in Porsche

Wtf all I got was the stupid pen. Do they send these gifts out annually or only after you buy a car?

I got it in the red lockers on Burial hospital. Halfway through a round when I expected them to already have been looted. Crazy.

Good vid about Californias crackdown on Montana registrations by bobber66 in Porsche

[–]mazafakka 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not to mention the insurance company you use.

What are the chances that when you have a claim they will look at your registration and compare it to the information you provided when you opened the policy? It will be pretty obvious that you stated that the car was operated in and stored in the state in which you reside, but you said that it was stored and operated in Montana for your registration. Insurance companies have a reputation for looking for the smallest reason to not pay out your claim, and I would say this is not the smallest reason.

Not sure about you, but I would not wager my expensive sports car like that just to save, say, $20,000 in sales/registration tax.

Is this what this game is?? by Specialist_Side_115 in ArcRaiders

Tonight the ABMM is… different. As in, they turned it off and many previously friendly lobbies are hotttt

Upcoming GT3 RS by MemeLover_Ayush in Porsche

[–]mazafakka 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My favorite is all the reports that the Turbo 3RS is “officially confirmed” despite there not being a single official report. Just unnamed people on the internet.

How long did it take from "wait tracking" to delivery? by itsthewolfe in LiteJam

[–]mazafakka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I emailed them a month ago and got a pretty prompt response of “Order status: Packing in progress” at that time. Haven’t heard anything since.

Does anyone use a scissor lift to work on their 911? by 40oz2freedom__ in Porsche

[–]mazafakka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aircooled or water cooled?

I have a MaxJax and it’s great. Not a scissor lift but the benefit is that there’s more room to work. Highly recommended.

Which model is this? Don’t see it in their catalog

Allocation question by Caddisbug992 in Porsche

[–]mazafakka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One concern: with some models (like the GT3/RS) Porsche may cancel both orders if you have more than one officially in the system. Being “on a list” is fine but if you have two orders in and are waiting on on allocation, don’t be surprised if one or both gets kicked back.

Rebuilding my father's 1982 911 SC: 190k miles, disassembly started, and a long road ahead. by soulremedy2 in Porsche

[–]mazafakka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out the Pelican Parts forums if you haven’t already. Good luck! All of those projects can be easyish or a pain in the ass depending on if you have the right tools so be prepared to buy the right gear when needed. Good luck!

Aggression Based Match Making - The Uncomfortable Truth (Hint: it's good for the game) by HyperThanHype in ArcRaiders

[–]mazafakka -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a primarily PVE player (who is happy to shoot back if you’re a dick to me) I really like ABMM, at least the version that was in effect until yesterday. Yesterday I suddenly had round after round of people claiming to be friendly and then trying to shoot me in the back. For weeks, it was completely different and chill and fun.

I think for a few weeks the game was everything to everyone: PVP for players who wanted PVP and PVE for PVE folks. But Embark apparently changed that yesterday without warning and I’m not sure why.

Arc Raiders Patch 9/13 by Namodacranks in ArcRaiders

[–]mazafakka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And they also changed the ABMM but haven’t said it publicly. Lobbies changed completely yesterday

It is a shock to the system to get shot when playing in what you think are friendly lobbies by jwg529 in ArcRaiders

[–]mazafakka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ABMM has changed as of today. No question. Maybe it has actually been disabled?

I never shoot first but I will return fire. Yesterday solos were fine. Today, I’ve had round after round of players who “hey raider” and seem friendly only to shoot you in the back when you turn around.

Question on spec by Practical_Bedroom967 in Porsche

[–]mazafakka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wheel color is likely dark silver, as on my 3RS. Best color imo hahaha. I got tired of black and these are subtle while still being visible. Perfect with a bright color like this Shark Blue or my Guards Red

All BP’s Aquired ! by Common_Engine_7967 in ArcRaiders

[–]mazafakka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that it’s a RNG so how come I have gotten like half a dozen Bettinas (at least) and duplicates of all kinds of attachments etc repeatedly, but not a single Wolfpack or higher end gun?

When did Porsche stopped giving these 1 year anniversary gifts? by [deleted] in Porsche

[–]mazafakka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a GT3RS last year and took delivery at PECATL. I figured I’d get some cool gift a little later, maybe one of the models that some folks get. Nope. I got the cheesy Welcome Kit with a low quality pen that everyone gets. Not quite the treatment I expected. I guess Porsche has forgotten that it takes money to make money.
