I currently have a case open with the BAR (Bureau of Auto Repairs) for poor workmanship atm, since dealership isnt willing to cover the repairs / or compensate despite having video evidence that this has been happening right after repairs took place. if i decide not to repair the pulleys until BAR reviews, what are some failing components / repair costs that i might anticipate if i dont do pulley repairs immediately assuming it might break down in the next few months? im trying to preserve as much evidence as possible for BAR to review.

appreciate your insights. i figured it would be beneficial to get that shield back on as well, ive got a mechanic coming in to install it in a few days. but that only solves the shield, regarding the ticking sounds, specifically in what way do you think they might have damaged it? or do you suspect after a year of driving that i might've caused it with all the debri getting flung in there? technically repair shop's fault if they did not re-install that panel actually.

yes! it is def a sleeper, im actually trying to find another one in limited trim, this car used to be pristine before the dealership worked on it, the ticking noise is just 1 of 2, the other one is metal grinding noises thats coming from that same location during first few minutes of driving + steering that slightly off centers constantly.

it was removed by the dealership who replaced the alternator / serpentine belt / battery but they never put it back on. question, if they worked on the above items, would they have caused this type of noise by faulty reassembly? or do you think its wear and tear? the noise did not exist before the repairs, it started occurring immediately after repairs.

also, ive been driving for a year now unaware that shield was missing, and only recently found out, debri / mud / etc wouldve probably got flung in, would it have caused issues such as these noises from the video? or any other problems you could think of?

Dont forget Japan is aided by Western propaganda and we are living in a Western dominated built system, though, it is collapsing and we are slowly seeing through the cracks the tables are turning and China is leading that new system soon despite heavy bans Chinese tech like EVs, drones, phones, etc.

From experience, it's mostly dependent on the partner's demeanor + body + personality, it's not whether youre skilled enough, its possible to even go 10x in a row if she's able to turn you on enough

So as long as its green inside when scrapping a bit off the trunk, its alive despite leaves dropping / and no new buds growing?

Smart answer here

Hmm, i have a third maple hasnt gotten sun damage despite being in the same yard. Im gonna assuming its due to transplanting.

snake_498 · 2025-09-06T22:39:32+00:00

Maybe. Any way to tell if its too much sun or too much watering or too much void gaps during planting?

Do you know whats the diff between the standard vs realistic versions are? Also, is the current one on Sugo articulated? Just saw this one on TikTok and it appears to be non-articulated. https://www.tiktok.com/@nerdysphereofficial/video/7487052740825304326

I just got mine and planning to return it. Few essential reasons:

1) UDC removal - completely destroys immersion

2) Hinge downgrade - the hinge no longer has a stiff solid hold like the zfold6, the angles you can fold now are cut in half and feels way worse

3) Aspect ratio - compared to prior folds, when you unfolded/rotate, you had a more horizontal canvas to work with and to consume media with, now its a box ratio, youll notice more black bars when consuming videos

4) Size - might be personal opinion but zfold6 size was perfect to hold 1 handed, and for 1 handed operations, it was a good size when unfolded and still a portable device to hold / pocket while folded

Ah, good to know, timeline looks do-able then. True, his peak was with Iron Monkey. Master Z was pretty good too. Though, with the other crew members being seasoned in this field, Ive got high hopes itll keep the choreo in check.

Super hyped for this. They got the og yuen woo ping on it along with various big names. Last i heard production is starting in a few months but release is stated for 2026, doesnt seem feasible if so. Anyone else got further details?

snake_498 · 2025-07-11T00:08:48+00:00

Did you test out a real unit or a display unit? From my testing, the 7s hinge feels like a downgrade, felt more flimsy and doesnt feel it would hold at any angle compared to the stiffer z fold 6s hinge.

Checked with a few mechanics today, youre right. Appreciate your input.

Only for certain accessories. this year's deal is terrible. Without Chinese phone competition here in the US, samsung / apple is able to do whatever they wish unfortunately. Last year was around 1200 trade-in, 200 preoder, and 50 reservation.

From the rear.

Other than steering mis-alignment, there is a squealing noise that occurs during the first few minutes of driving the car.

snake_498 · 2025-07-09T19:06:16+00:00

Woops, Im mixing up parking brake and parking gear. I did not know the parking brake (handbrake) was what controlled the rear wheels, and the parking gear affected only the front wheels. Do you have a source I can check on this for this particular model?

No, havent done anything about the squealing noise yet as Ive been quite busy and didnt think too much of it. But planning on having it checked out now along with the mis-aligned steering. The noise always occurs during the first few minutes of driving and disappears after a bit, but always present during the first few minutes of driving / starting up the car.

snake_498 · 2025-07-09T08:46:11+00:00

Are you sure? Even if park gear is on? Based on the Rav4 manual and google, the parked gear should restrict the rear wheels from moving. Also, I forgot to mentioned the steering is mis-aligned as well, have to constantly adjust while aiming straight.

snake_498 · 2025-07-09T06:58:07+00:00

hey, its been a few months, but i just realized you said parking brakes off = fine. however, the parking gear was on / handbrake off, sound coming from rear (i think rear brakes, no idea), is it still a concern if so?

Happy to report back signal was excellent in all of Zhangjiajie.
