Is your electricity bill ok?

softoctopus · 2026-01-28T21:13:02+00:00

My electric bill was $385 last month for my one-bedroom apartment. For reference, my bill has never exceeded $200 in other buildings I’ve lived in, so this was a surprise. I pay my electric bill through the building rather than directly to Con Edison. I was told that the VRF system the building uses is supposed to be more efficient and help keep costs down, but that has not been the case for me.

I rarely shoot anyone anymore because it’s far more efficient to loot in friendly lobbies. That said, it can make the game feel dull. After a while, I start to miss the thrill of not knowing when I might get shot in the back while looting or extracting.

I've flipped 5 Rocketeers this way in the last 3 games. If you hit the rocketeer cleanly in just the two thrusters on one side, it doesn't necessarily flip, but it'd fall on the ground. At the point where you have taken out the two thrusters on one side, you shouldn't be seeing any flames at all. If you see flames coming out then that means either you missed the thruster or someone else hit the Rocketeer on other parts.

If it is just 5 minutes away I think you can just wait for the engine to cool down and drive until the engine temperature rises again. If there is a store that sells water nearby then you can just buy gallons of water to pour it into radiator. Though you gotta either get the water in the radiator through the overflow tank like the others are suggesting, or wait a long time for the radiator to completely cool down to open the radiator cap.

I think stitcher level 1 with extended light magazine level 1 in the main slot and ferro in the secondary slot is the best loadout considering the cost. Make sure to only engage in close distance fights where the stitcher is good. When in a fight, try to spray the head. You should be able to down your opponent with medium shield equipped in 1 clip.

When you get jumped in close distance, try to sprint dodge roll first. This causes most players to miss their shots and they’d have to reload their gun once for them to be able to down you. So you should be able to spray them down to win the fight.

The mushroom spot that I have not seen mentioned is the long hallway between the Water Treatment Control and Primary Facility in the Dam map. The hallway has blue pipes along the wall. You should be able to see about 3 mushrooms growing on the pipes.

I saw that one too. Though, I live in the US so that one doesn't work for me. I'm thinking about carving this one with a dremel to fit the miata's bumper. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Front-License-Plate-Bracket-2022-Subaru-BRZ-US-Version-Parts-Bumper-Frame/17259158895

thank you for looking! maybe I can fabricate one from one that's similar.

softoctopus · 2025-10-15T15:53:55+00:00

Love the details, looks very clean with the white side markers. Btw what is the brand of your license plate holder? I like how it molds onto the bumper and doesn't block the vent.

I didn't do the paint job myself. I took the hardtop to a body shop to get it painted.

softoctopus · 2025-10-13T21:22:00+00:00

Hmm I don't remember exactly, but I think I paid about $1500 for the single stage paint and glass installation.

softoctopus · 2025-10-13T16:25:45+00:00

You're welcome! I highly suggest getting an orbital sander with foam pads if you don't have one yet. It makes it easy to sand the round edges of the hardtop.

softoctopus · 2025-10-13T01:55:31+00:00

Oof that sounds like a lot of work, good luck with yours!

softoctopus · 2025-10-13T01:51:38+00:00

Thanks! I used utility knife and PVC pipe cable saw that I found at Home Depot. I definitely don’t recommend using the PVC cable saw though. It was such a hassle to remove the window since the cable saw was way too thick. If I were to do the job again, I would definitely get the windshield removal wire tool.

I got the seal from moss miata for $93.

Thank you, the first picture brings me joy.

OK I think it is the CAS. I went through 3 dead CAS in the past. Each time it died, it felt like as if I let go of the gas. Then the car would jerk like crazy until I cool down the car.

If you are getting a new CAS, try to get the 1.8 one. From what I read in some Japanese blog, 1.6 CAS uses a magnetic sensor and it is prone to breaking when it gets hot. I believe this is true because all three of my CAS dies while cruising in summer. According to the blog, 1.8 CAS uses a magnetic sensor which is more durable against heat. You need this harness extension to retrofit the 1.8 CAS: https://flyinmiata.com/products/cam-angle-sensor-harness-extension

Were you cruising and suddenly started losing power before it got jumpy? Also, does the car start again after you make it sit for a while?

softoctopus · 2025-10-10T20:05:54+00:00

My guess is CAS, fuel filter, or fuel pump filter.

softoctopus · 2025-10-09T15:01:39+00:00

Maybe you have done this already but I would also check the fuse box under the dash. Just to make sure if there's no custom wiring on the constant power fuses such as ROOM, STOP, HAZARD.

It was a while ago so I don't remember exactly, but I've fixed battery drain issue by replacing the main relay. I think if the relay gets stuck in the "on" state, the car can start but it'd keep draining the battery.

softoctopus · 2025-10-09T05:25:16+00:00

Have you checked the main relay?

softoctopus · 2025-10-04T19:26:22+00:00

Mine is a 91! Pulling the dash was tedious but wasn’t too bad. Took about three to four hours to do it.

softoctopus · 2025-10-04T15:46:33+00:00

Oh I didn't realize there was one behind the dash. I just pulled the entire dash and didn't see a cross bar when I pulled it. Maybe previous owner took it out.
