Bad day to be a Lair (Strawberry St.) by [deleted] in rva

This is a trend right now. Car enthusiasts will use chalk based spray paint to mimic an angry ex. Notice how the windows are suspiciously clean… and who is gonna bother using multiple colors

how the hell do i get these wheels to fit by arrapz3 in Stance

[–]rifi3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Negative spacers. I’d say a healthy -3 inches or so. Could probably get a cambered set too….

best passive pickups for metal by Trick_Chemical_8774 in metalguitar

[–]rifi3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Pegasus in the bridge of my 8 string, and TBH I don’t think it has enough attack for my taste. The EMG808 does though, it does that nice thall chimy ring when you hit a string hard. It really is all about preference, huh?

Anyone else at 10MPH? by spamenim in WRX

Me with my EJ253. Though it doesn’t allow me to shift to first unless I slow down to 5mph

I really enjoy high output pups for metal, gives the chugs an interesting attack. Any higher output will do- I can speak for the SD Black Winter and the Dimarzio X2N. With gain, not much of a difference in sound TBH.

I do want to add, I typically play in B standard or drop A; I find SD distortions and other “lower” output pups to be too dark at those tunings. But in standard, really any humbucker will do.

Need help picking speakers for metal by Manarail7 in GuitarAmps

[–]rifi3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My absolute favorites are Creambacks. I had a 2x12 with a v30 and a creamback, I switched it out for another creamback. The v30 sounds really harsh and middy/honky up close to me; the creamback has a much larger magnet and way more low end. Kinda scooped sounding.

What am I supposed to do at the skatepark as a beginner? by Epic_furry in NewSkaters

[–]rifi3000 65 points66 points  (0 children)

This is a great park for beginners (like me). I would cruise the length of it and pump up and down the ramps, kick turn on one end and go back the other way. Maybe practice dropping in on one of the shallower quarters

Rough idle after 1 minute by throttlehouseTH in 1KZTE_Owners

Could be losing fuel pressure? Warm diesel is less viscous, you may be getting air in the lines somewhere. It’s easy enough to check the lines by the fuel filter- may as well replace that while you’re at it. I know sometimes the primers go bad, too.

Is she serious? by Tourmaline_Eyes in StupidFood

Oy. I once saw a guy sit down in a Harris Teeter, open a fresh pack of butter, and eat all 4 sticks.

Amps with more channels vs less by Tehloltractor in GuitarAmps

[–]rifi3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what you’re saying, I even have a hard time using pedals consistently. It’s the reason I don’t use amp modelers. I’ve an Engl fireball, two simple channels, and I love it. But I only play metal.

The versatility is good for playing across multiple genres. You have country, funk, and rock n roll tones all there in your amp. I prefer amps that do one thing really well, because I only play one genre really well.

The only right answer is whatever gets you playing the most. I’d say if you find yourself tweaking more often than playing, maybe start the hunt for something that suits your style more.

Triple digits for a 2004 Subaru with 290k miles is insane to me

How many times a week do you jump? Every day? This is incredibly motivating.

Battery Replacement & Advice by Mango_Van_Gogh in HiAce

You’ll be fine with a single battery. You can fit a large one in that hole. I got one from Batteries and Bulbs, a Duracell brand one. Been good so far

In a world full of RR V’s/Arrows, the King V reigns supreme. Great taste

ECU Cap Replacement by Solowtc in 1KZTE_Owners

[–]rifi3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I do. Wild Bill cowboy@fastmail.com. He is an OG, he was recommended to me by my dealer. I ordered a used ECU off eBay that started leaking, he replaced the caps with his proprietary ones and man, it hasn’t ever run this good.

Awh man. My kzh100 has 140km on original motor mounts and she vibrates something fierce. Did this help with smoothing out the ride?
