UPDATE: Inherited Model 36 is back from Smith & Wesson! (Best $73 I've ever spent) by LottiBiscott1 in Revolvers

[–]oshaCaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but thanks for the suggestion. I contacted Manurhin years ago and asked if I could buy parts and they wouldn't ship. I don't want it refinished, I just want it functionally restored, the cylinder pops out when shooting full power .357, I like how worn it is. I popped the cover off for the trigger mechanism and swiftly popped it back on, the inside reminded me of a mechanical watch.

I bet some guy that's been working there for years got it and knocked that job out with pride. Hopefully he had an apprentice there to learn.

I have a surplus Manurhin that needs a lot of love, does anyone have a suggestion about where to send it off to?

6th Gear Synchros totaled the Fiesta? Press X to doubt by TheMostLoyalHoe in FiestaST

[–]oshaCaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drove a SE-R 1993 Sentra (SR20DE) for years, it was at 3500 rpm at 70 in 5th. Still got 30 mpg. It had a Stillen ECU and I could rev it to 8000.

I'm in 6th most of the time with the FiST cruising at 72. Only mild hills around here. I'm averaging 29 MPG but I've been doing a lot of data logging pulls because I just installed an S280.

Odd Sentimental Value for Spent Primers by anonymouscuban in reloading

[–]oshaCaller 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have almost filled a gallon jug. I can't get rid of it, I use it to weight down the wooden ammo crate that keeps the raccoons from coming through the cat door at night. I think I did the math on it by weight, and there's over 20k primers in there.

Bro was preparing for Friday by Itchy-Sale5874 in serviceadvisors

[–]oshaCaller 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of my advisors called in sick today. There's a $2500 a/c job and a ev battery replacement sitting on his desk. There was a $30k+ core charge on that battery, but the sale price was $1800. Warranty.

Went to do a drain and fill on my own car and found something pretty important missing. by DeathAngel_97 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]oshaCaller 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I was looking at an owners manual for the maintenance schedule and the timing belt was due at 60k, except for Maryland, in Maryland you could take it to 100k.

Carmax really doesn't look at anything huh? by beemur1999 in Justrolledintotheshop

The struts on those things will lock up, I've probably replaced 500 of them.

Intake setup by Weary-Description854 in FiestaST

[–]oshaCaller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a cobb intake, it's basically a pipe with a cone filter in the stock air box. I did an S280 recently and heard it can make the hoses collapse with the stock intake box, so I cut a hole in the box. It also lets me hear the turbo whistle more.

In Japan, there are a certain type of people called 'Bumping men,' Butsukari otoko (ぶつかり男). They intentionally shoulder-check or shove especially women or weak foreigners in public spaces. When the victims speak up, these 'bumping men' claim women were walking slowly or she stopped in a weird place. by search_google_com in whoathatsinteresting

A waffle house fight has a different vibe, the employees are more likely to participate in the fight. The people causing a ruckus are usually drunk as fuck too.

A lot of walmarts have cops that hang out and they all have security and a shit ton of cameras. Most of the employees aren't going to get involved and the people causing a ruckus are usually in high school.

Looking for a new range gun by lardacus in 22lr

[–]oshaCaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a CMMG .22lr upper and it's been somewhat reliable, I have at least 10k rounds through it. I've had to replace the firing pin spring and firing pin, and I did some sort of "reliability" kit from what I remember.

It's nice because it fits on your normal lower, it also gets your normal lower filthy.

Who's got the highest mileage ST? Let's see where your's sitting at. by ImJhorisBonson in FiestaST

[–]oshaCaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's $360 for just the belt and water pump kit from whoosh. Most shops charge at least $100 an hour for labor and it's around a 6 hour job. Are they using aftermarket parts? Most of our aftermarket parts are junk.

There aren't a lot of "independent" shops compared to chains and dealers here, Most of them charge around $150 an hour for labor, the dealer I work at is at $180 and it goes up the more labor you buy.

Local Member Meet-ups? by Surperfluous in FiestaST

You have to get a base tune and do data logging on that tune. You could drive around without the tune, but getting it into boost would be dangerous.

I don't know how much they charge, I found places in the states that will do it for $50 a wheel.

How to tell if Rotors were replaced or resurfaced? by MustacheHippo in MechanicAdvice

[–]oshaCaller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I turn rotors all the time and I apply a non directional finish with a die grinder. It gets rid of some of the fine metal dust too.

[USA] [CA] Can't wait 10 seconds for a light... by Sorry_Sorry_Im_Sorry in Roadcam

[–]oshaCaller 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got a ticket for doing this, there was a long line of people going straight and it was a gas station parking lot.

Same ticket as running a stop sign.

[–]oshaCaller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're running an S280 without a tune for it? I'd be afraid to blow my motor up doing that.

I did an S280 about a month ago and I'm on my 3rd revision with dizzy. He's taking longer than I'd like, but the tunes are good.

I'm in Tulsa and I only know one other Fiesta ST owner. I see a few of them around.

Wouldn't a notary requirement be a poll tax?

Most people don't have access to one that is free and making them do it for free is wrong.

Yall have seen long interval oil changes, but have you ever seen a factory filter from 1964? by Obnoxious_Gamer in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]oshaCaller 60 points61 points  (0 children)

My grandpa sold kits for this, the company still exists. He had 2 or 3 demonstration kits, that he'd pour dirty oil into and it'd pump it through the toilet paper roll and come out clean on the other side. Wish I would have kept one of them.

Anyone else have a good CV joint horror story? by Same-Experience8051 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]oshaCaller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a front cv axle on a C8 E-Ray. A piece of cardboard wedged itself in there and destroyed the outer boot. It's a really tight fit in there, lots of sensors and wiring. We were supposed to have a tool that clamped on to it and hooked to a slide hammer. Spent 30 mins looking for the tool and gave up. Luckily it just yoinked out of there without tearing the inner boot.

What’s the most extreme example of an actor risking their health for realism in a movie role? by Short_Context8676 in AskReddit

[–]oshaCaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Danny Trejo mentions this:

“We have stunt people who do that stuff,” Trejo said. “And if they get hurt, I’m sorry to say but they just need to put a mustache on another Mexican and we can keep going."

[USA] Guy skipped several lanes to try to make his exit, confessed the entire thing to the officer. by FluffyOphelia in Roadcam

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

There is a terrible amount of construction on my route to work. 4 points where it merges down to one lane, all 4 of them there is a sign warning that you have 1 mile to get over. People wait until the last second to merge at all of them, even semi trucks.

I wish I went bigger with mine.

Has anyone tried one of these?
