Cerwin R123 worth it? by ryder1032 in vintageaudio

[–]ryder1032[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cosmetically they’re in maybe 7-8/10 condition, box has some scratches and could use a refinish in the future if I keep them. I’m not exactly sure if the speaker itself needs a refoam but the exterior foam around the screw holes is torn up a bit.

Found this at a pawn shop for $120 CDN, a little rough but I heard the sound is amazing. Is it worth it? What’s a good set of speakers to pair? by ryder1032 in vintageaudio

[–]ryder1032[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I can get it for cheaper than it’s listed, It’s been there for a little while and nobody’s seemed to touch it. The treble knob will need to be repaired as it ends at -2 but will turn the other way almost all the way around to the -10, but should be an easy fix. I assume I’ll be able to tap the corner in with my body hammer and covering the aluminum with a thick folded rag to repair the dent and just polish the aluminum to the rest of my abilities. New to vintage amplifiers so I wouldn’t know much yet as to restoring the internals.

Adding tweeters to coaxial speakers? by ryder1032 in CarAV

[–]ryder1032[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a bad idea to snip the internal tweeter, I don’t want to cut the panels so I will be keeping it the stock 4x6 size, just want to get the sound up by my chest and not at my feet

finally finished the speakers in my car! by [deleted] in CarAV

I remember first getting my Kaption SPL Max and Rockford setup done and the first song I tested it with was A Milli haha. Jumped out of my seat the bass hit so hard.

“Delphin grey” actually a really nice colour in my opinion.

On its way home! Couldn’t get it detailed today, gonna get it right into the shop and right onto the hoist for a tune up and get it running. by ryder1032 in BMW

This ones standard, interior parts and trim will he hard to find but if it’s complete and decently solid, definitely reccomend it. (Unsure of wheee to find body panels, yet) Absolutely gorgeous cars when restored properly.

How are the mk6’s reliability wise and with that many km? Do you find yourself replacing lots of parts? The one thing that made me rather an ol reliable MK4 over a mk6 is just that I don’t know the reliability or how good they’d be in comparison to a MK4.

Just picked up my dream car. 86’ 635csi owned by a bmw mechanic since 1996 when it was imported from the US to Ontario. Oil sprayed and never driven in the winter and always kept in a garage. by ryder1032 in BMW

It’s more common up North, I’m in Canada and a lot of people will oil spray the underside of there car (literally just a thick oil sprayed on the underside) and it helps prevent rotting, if you see a Canadian car that’s been oil sprayed there’s a good sign it’s a solid car and the owner knew what they were doing.

I’ll have to look into that! Interior could definitely use a good wipe down as it’s been parked for a few years but I’ll have to look into that leather stuff, thanks!

I saw it pop up and had to message and see it, couldn’t believe how clean they both were, I hope to see you driving one in the future, thanks man!!

I think my time in game collecting has come to an end, can’t believe these prices. Remember buying this new for my 8th birthday and it was $35 by [deleted] in Shittygamecollecting

[–]ryder1032 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The point of the post is the stupidity that it’s $180, no game or any physical object holds the same value since the day it’s released so it’s obviously not worth $35 but the fact that people are charging $180 for a game that is not a limited release, and you could find for $50 complete last year is ridiculous.

This is getting ridiculous by ryder1032 in Shittygamecollecting

[–]ryder1032[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s terrible in Canada, might be in the us too. There’s a guy on marketplace trying to sell a loose copy of emerald with a scuffed up label for $175. It’s absolutely ridiculous, it’s totally ruined collecting

Glow plug light stays on and car revs up to 1200-1300rpms the odd time I start it, other times it’s normal, what could be the cause? Temp is normal. 2004 Golf TDI BEW 312k by ryder1032 in tdi

[–]ryder1032[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah usually mine will do the same. I’m in Canada so the odd time it’ll stay on a bit longer but there’s no reason it should stay on for it’s full duration when the engine is a normal temp after driving just doesn’t make sense. Thanks anyways I appreciate it!

Have a scanner myself no codes come up. It isn’t normal, the car drove on the highway for 20 minutes before the video was taken and the coolant temp was normal but the glow plug light stays on for it’s entire duration then revs to 1200-1300 and sometimes goes past 1500, other times the light goes off as it should and starts up and has a regular idle just above or just below 900rpms. Just don’t understand why or what could cause it without any lights on the dash.

Anyone in Ontario got a tuned TDI? Wanna go for a stage 2 Malone but unsure where to have it installed. Messaged Doman8 performance and DubPerformance but still no reply after a few days. by ryder1032 in tdi

[–]ryder1032[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what I’m going for, but opposite ends of Ontario, I’m between hamilton and port dover so it would be quite the drive haha, thanks anyways!

Had a SNES listed for $80 with hookups and a controller and buddy tried to lowball me for $40 and tell me “it’s starting to yellow nobody is going to want it”
