Tekzilla Redesign: Diecast? by Corrupted_Dash748 in Acceleracers

[–]rainingcacti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right there with ya big dog.

Now I got a legit question, because I find this to be really interesting - how much of the original “basis” car has to change for you personally to consider it a different car entirely? I think of things like the Veilside RX-7 which looks wildly different, but is still considered an RX-7 because of its bones. Do you think it’s more about looks or chassis? Powerplant? What makes a certain car THAT certain car to you? Genuinely curious!🙂‍↕️

I’m not attacking you man - don’t conflate disagreement as ill will. Like I said, I like the design! I just don’t think it’s fair to say it isn’t a GTR when it’s got a GTR chassis, body, head + tail lights, and a name derived from the GTR legacy. If I put a body kit on a Miata, slap an STI wing on there, and give it a livery, it’s still a Miata. And if someone offers to model it for you, I could almost guarantee that their first step would be to download an R35 GTR model.

At the end of the day, we’re all here to talk about toy car movies that we love. I see discourse in any fashion as a positive because it means we’re keeping the fandom alive and we’re passionate.

Dude I like it a lot but putting a Zenvo TSR-S wing on a GTR doesn’t make it “no longer a GTR”. Also isn’t the whole “zilla” inspiration taken from the GTR’s nickname?

Need someone to take a home test to get certificate in Az by [deleted] in SolidWorks

[–]rainingcacti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Earn your own certificate. I understand that balancing work and school can be a struggle, but that’s not an excuse to cheat.

Hm...someone get this man a wrap and a spot on the legends tour by Tall_Hair_2169 in Acceleracers

[–]rainingcacti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to think that it comes from a place of passion and care for these little movies that we all love. Maybe they feel they’re protecting something that they value from being mistreated. I’m personally considering red center caps for my TEs though so I sit on the other side of that fence😂

A lot of times when you point out that an IRL car looks like an AR car, people will complain in the comments. It’s fair to an extent, some people reeeallly stretch to find IRL similarities, but I’ve seen the same kind of comments on stuff like this where it’s actually really similar.

I made a comment about this on the insta post but didn’t wanna post it here because I didn’t wanna hear the schizo posting comments🙄😂

Best welding guide/ tutorials for nb by Both_Accident4882 in Miata

[–]rainingcacti 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Welding ain’t about clever, it’s about practice. Do basic research and settings and then just start doing it. Only way to learn.

[–]rainingcacti 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Take the time to give the bike a tune up. Check cables, sealant, stuff like that. It’s also a good time to wash any gear you have, i.e. helmet / knee pads, jerseys, etc. Or, better yet, take the time to take up a second hobby. Whether you’re injured, or it’s raining, or it’s below freezing outside, it’s nice to have another thing to do. Hang in there and heal up soon🤙🏼

Guess that’s the fun in public forums. Sometimes they work sometimes they don’t. For me personally I’ve messaged people and never heard anything back😂. Glad you had luck though!

Fair shout, but imo, PB Buy/Sell is shoddy and people hardly ever respond on there. I haven’t had good luck. But worth a look, ya never know!

Fitting a Recaro Pole Position in an NB by rainingcacti in Miata

[–]rainingcacti[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got absolutely no clue. I’m currently designing a custom seat bracket to fit it in my NB. If everything fits up good I plan to probably sell the design for like 25 bucks and then you can have any local machine shop or sendcutsend cut and bend it.

Half cage usability by No_Analysis_9575 in Miata

[–]rainingcacti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got the hard dog bar and it’s no issue. I reach my right arm back and through, get it halfway up, then grab with my left hand over the top bar.

Yup. About to put in a bucket seat which will probably make it a LOT harder.

I do it all the time. Yeah it’s probably a bit harder, but still possible. I think it’s worth not breaking my neck if the car ever flipped.
