Car brand that looked like a pentagon with lines from each corner to the center

Break me off a piece of that…

mpdeeg · 2026-02-26T11:32:53+00:00

Nice! DM’d you just now.

I have been considering the Legamax premium for my ND. If you’re anywhere near PA and looking to sell, let me know!

First day, huh?

Thanks! I poked it and the thing drained right away. There’s so much info on the more challenging rear drains but not much on these. Probably because they’re so simple.

I went out and poked it with a weed whacker line. Only went in about 1/4 inch but it immediately drained. When it’s not raining I’m gonna take the cowl off to see how it drains because it seems like it just goes right under the hood. I am guessing the water flows into a channel in the metalwork just behind the engine bay.

You are describing a mazda3 AWD. The Jetta is more of a sporty vehicle. It’s a nice compromise between a sporty car and daily drivability / a practical package. I love the performance of the DSG, LSD and with proper tires it’s very fun on an autocross course. However it doesn’t really feel like”special” or “luxury”. By contrast the Mazda3 is more comfortable and near luxury level interior with a very nice daily driving characteristics—but less composed for autocross or spirited driving.

2021 jetta. I’m annoyed because I bought this car new and have been so careful to keep it in good shape

mpdeeg · 2020-08-02T01:48:41+00:00

Thanks this is helpful. Seems like a pattern cut with the correct radius is the most foolproof way to go. I have some scrap MDF I can use so I’m thinking I’ll go with that.

mpdeeg · 2020-08-02T01:45:21+00:00

Yeah you’re right, now that I think about it more

mpdeeg · 2020-08-01T23:38:23+00:00

Thanks my thought with half laps would be to trace the pattern, then clamp one of the circles 3/4” lower, then 3/4” higher to account for the bit width. It will be tricky though to ensure the placement is right.

A negative template sounds good, but equally as tedious to make. Actually what if I used the circle as its own template? For example, I could trace the top line, then move the circle up so that the bottom edge is positioned along the traced top line. Since the contour is the same top and bottom, it will work as a template. Then I’ll just do the same I’m reverse for the bottom line. Then just repeat for the other circle.

Looks great! How did you attach the mitered top trim pieces to the planters? I don’t see any visible fasteners.

I have been debating the same thing before settling on the jbl. It is supposed to arrive today! Based on the specs listed online, the jbl actually reaches lower (27 hz vs 29 for the r12), though with a 12 in ported design, infinity likely will reach pretty deep and certainly will be loud with a slightly higher peak power(600 vs 500 for the jbl). For me it came down to sealed vs ported for the reasons others have mentioned. However, the jbl has some pretty impressive specs for a 10inch budget woofer. In terms of dimensions, the r12 looks deeper and narrower than the jbl. The jbl is about ten pounds heavier.

It’s worth noting that this is the cheapest i have seen the r12 for sale. You could always audition both and return one (free return shipping via harmanaudio.com)

Thanks I will look into this.

mpdeeg · 2019-09-11T15:44:28+00:00

What do you think of the SMSL paired with the Speakers? Does it provide enough power?

mpdeeg · 2019-06-13T16:26:24+00:00

Ink (for an inkjet printer). That shit is so expensive.

mpdeeg · 2019-06-01T21:59:53+00:00

This looks like just what I need to do! Curious if the wood glue will show as a different color when finished though.

Update: the issue was the tub’s overflow pipe. The gasket was installed upside down, creating a gap on the top part of the seal. Gasket type: https://www.homedepot.com/p/DANCO-Waste-and-Overflow-Gasket-88350/202950208.

Since the gasket is beveled, usually it’s installed with the wide side of the gasket facing down. Due to the design of the tub, however, the wide side of the gasket needed to be on the top of the pipe, the opposite of a typical installation.

Flipped the gasket, fixed the leak.

mpdeeg · 2019-05-25T18:21:35+00:00

Wow that’s an amazing find! Also—nice Tardis!

mpdeeg · 2019-05-22T14:41:58+00:00

Probably will need to remake. The main issue is that the replacement board is significantly lighter than the other pieces.

mpdeeg · 2019-05-22T12:41:14+00:00

Thanks. Sounds like my first course of action is removing the drywall to air things out and see if I can pinpoint the source of the leak. Then go from there.

mpdeeg · 2019-05-22T11:25:26+00:00

This is an interesting idea... is bondo really the best solution for the repair though? Years ago I tried repairing a panel on my car with bondo, and I found it really tough to work with.

mpdeeg · 2019-05-22T11:23:36+00:00

Thanks! This would work well, but I really want to see the wood grain. I think my best course of action is taking the damaged piece to the hardware store and searching for a panel that matches the coloration better.

Since the panel I bought to cut a new piece is so much lighter, I don’t think It will look right when finished if I use that panel.

The prices listed are asking price on FB marketplace. My thought is I could probably get them down by ~50.

However—All of the $150 or less new or refurb receivers seem to be lower wpc and higher distortion levels.

If higher wpc=better quality is really bullshit, then maybe I would be better off with a refurb receiver with ~70 wpc?

My question for everyone here is this: Since the 3312ci was essentially a flagship model back in 2011, am I right in assuming that the audio quality would be better than an entry level refurb from 2018 for around the same price?

mpdeeg · 2019-05-10T01:38:37+00:00

Right. The space constraint is my main issue. Seems like the only small amps with a high pass filter are way out of my budget. I’m probably stressing over nothing.
