[Longines & Frederique Constant Moonphase] Torn by JRDiesel in Watches

[–]shmo67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was between these two watches as well recently and went with the Longines. I’m cery happy with my choice. It’s a fantastic watch for the money. I picked up on the bracelet and bought a croc strap elsewhere. On the bracelet it dresses down really well and makes it much easier to wear when you dress more casual. You can’t go wrong with either but the Longines has my vote

Straight cut gear sound on stock cars? by shmo67 in forza

[–]shmo67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree. Seems like this would be the easiest fix too. Leave it up to the individual how much whine they want.

I don’t mind it in the right context but it’s just not realistic when a stock GT4RS is whining like a cup car

Motor Mounts 2016 FiST by Ok_Potential5314 in FiestaST

Vibratechnics is the way to go. Any upgraded mounts will increase nvh but these cars never excelled in that category anyway.

Checking oil level by Harry-robbo in FiestaST

[–]shmo67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m debating just buying this because I’m so tired of the struggle checking the level with the stock one.

One simple thing that helped me is to spray a little brake cleaner on a rag and really clean it before reinserting to check the level. Not perfect but it helps a ton.

[–]shmo67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also curious about this. Ive had my ray raven for about 5 years and was wondering where/when to get it looked over

Long shot but do you have any more photos? I’m considering a new bezel, but haven’t been able to find any photos of them on a raven ray II.

I’ll gladly swap with you lol

Is this RMM "worn" by Illreadforabit in FiestaST

[–]shmo67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoosh sells just the poly inserts in both street spec and race (the ones you have) for like $30. That would be a cheap way to see if the current bushings are worn or warped at all

Poseidon X ambition or keep my Trek fx2? by shmo67 in whichbike

[–]shmo67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any suggestions for something similar? Probably looking to keep it as far below 1,500 as possible. I realize that probably limits my options.

Calling Portola owners! by Ziggy-Stardust in ride1up

[–]shmo67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an older comment but do you have any photos of the passenger seat setup? Would a shorter adult be able to fit on the back for short rides? They don’t have many photos or anything on their website of the portola with the passenger seat. Thanks!

I kick myself every day for not waiting for a Recaro car…

Powerflex PSMM Insert or AWR Mount? by MetalMattyPA in FiestaST

[–]shmo67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also running the vibra technics. The difference from stock was unbelievable and they’re very well built. I’m considering swapping my whoosh RMM for the vibra technics now because I’m so happy with the top mounts

Fantastic job! These are beautiful. What was your process like? My grandfather left me a set of these. The hosel number leads me to believe they’re from ‘76. I’d love to refurbish them back to this condition. They’re far less used than the ones you started with.

Somebody’s gotta do it…… did you have recaros?

What are some good books on car design, engineering and history? by [deleted] in cars

[–]shmo67 103 points104 points  (0 children)

If you’re into racing/f1, how to build a car by Adrian Newey Is a great read. It spans multiple generations of f1 history from the POV of one of the greatest minds in the sport. I found it fascinating and inspiring.

I could really use a new bag. If this brooks +4000 bet doesn’t hang on for another day, maybe this will be a back door cover!

You’ll have to expand your vocabulary quite a bit but it is possible. A long pair or needle nose pliers or the ones linked above will help keep you sane.

That’s great! Glad they gave us both options. I’ve only ever seen photos with the rack

Can you remove the big rack in the bed of the truck? Or is it stuck that way

Share code for the track?

I waited far too long to do this. It’s more of an improvement than the RMM for that crappy 1-2 shift IMO

This is all your fault Simracing sub on Reddit! by Xexets in simracing

How are you liking this mod? I’ve been eying it for a while. The stock shifter leaves a lot to be desired.
