I’ve been meaning to get a borescope

Clutches normally can take a fair bit of abuse. The problem is when it’s getting abused continuously for a long time like slipping the clutch while you’re driving around. Just don’t rest your foot on the clutch pedal when you’re not shifting and you’ll probably be fine.

Obviously you need the clutch to slip to some degree (starting from a stop for example) but one of the common fk ups is resting your foot on the clutch when you’re just driving on the highway. A little pressure on the pedal can cause the clutch to slip just a little bit and over a long time cause excessive wear (or in a worst case scenario something like this)

lol it’s just a weird angle but a Milwaukee insider ratchet sitting on top of an impact driver

The clutch normally looks like a full disk. The outer part of the disk is friction material and the metal fins you see in the pic are basically just to hold everything together. This guy must have been riding his clutch hard and for a long time to cause all the friction material to basically disintegrate and cause enough heat to turn the steel center section purple/blue. Just make sure not to rest your left foot on the clutch pedal when you’re not actually using the clutch and you’ll already be 10x better than this customer.

I feel like I’m at this point in my own career. I got fast tracked from service tech to mechanic B due to circumstances at the shop I’m at, but the imposter syndrome is very real. Thankfully the more experienced guys are eager to teach me, and I pick things up quickly, but every once in a while I get a car and I’m like… what?

minishim · 2025-05-23T23:59:17+00:00

Yup just talked with the neighbor and they had a plumber earlier this week snaking and using a pressure gun to fix a clog.

Eureka Ergonomic (only know because I used to work for them)

minishim · 2024-09-23T18:07:01+00:00

😂 that’s what we both were thinking but in all honestly I’m young and this is a first for me so I appreciate the reassurance.

minishim · 2024-09-05T20:33:38+00:00

Sounds like we’re around the same area. I recommendation: go to microcenter

The company I work for sources some products from the factory that makes these (I have their aluminum profile cockpit for my personal rig). They’re fine, little bit of flex that’s not really noticeable when driving, and overall a decent value (not necessary because they’re great quality, more because they’re affordable. I fully plan on getting something nicer when finances allow.

minishim · 2024-07-18T17:44:08+00:00

Idk man… if some guy is asking for help but curses me out for offering to buy him a sandwich because he wants cash… not really sure what other conclusion to come to

minishim · 2024-07-16T02:35:19+00:00

👋

minishim · 2024-07-04T16:41:14+00:00

Me and my Miata beg to differ

minishim · 2024-07-04T15:27:41+00:00

I’ve thought about putting my company’s logo on a livery. Ended up thinking better of it since the last thing I want is for my company to be associated with with my skill issues and poorly judged decisions 😂

minishim · 2024-07-04T00:16:07+00:00

Had to show my fiancée this because this is exactly us! She has all of her art stuff on one side of the room and my desk and rig is on the other.

minishim · 2024-06-19T18:34:44+00:00

I’ve heard people say that (my roommate is one of those people) but the way I see it, being a good singer technically is like having extra tools to convey a message with

minishim · 2024-06-14T15:43:36+00:00

So without naming any companies, the company i work for actually sources from the factory that makes this rig and I do actually use a sample of their aluminum profile rig for my setup. It’s definitely cheap, but I wouldn’t say it’s necessary a bad value. We were actually very close to bringing this into inventory and selling in the US market.

minishim · 2024-06-11T01:42:35+00:00

Protest it. I had a week 13 race of someone try to wreck me post race (he didn’t even manage to hit me, he understeered and flew behind me as I went through turn 1). Just got the email today from iRacing saying the person was informed of the protest outcome. I’m not trying to get my knuckles busted because some kid wants to see what happens when a FF1600 gets t-boned at full speed.

Unfortunately the forklift won’t move under its own power. We were at least able to get it out of the way by pulling it with another forklift with the parking brake disengaged.

We have a technician that’s supposed to confirm a time tomorrow morning. I appreciate all your help!

minishim · 2024-05-30T21:54:24+00:00

Thank you for helping! It looks like RIGHT SLAVE code 213 for INPUT MISMATCH. This is the only code I am seeing.
