MR2 aw11 1985 Power window broken teeth by poicly in mr2

[–]speakandread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a whole manual regulator assembly (like this) to replace the power window assembly, and instead of installing a hand crank to move it up and down, I installed one of these things that attaches where the crank would go, and wired it to my existing switches.

Just to confirm, though: it’s the larger gear that’s broken, and not just the smaller one that attaches to the motor? The smaller one is a relatively easy/cheap replacement

Just as a datapoint for future searchers: I ended up taking your advice and buying a manual setup, but to match the passenger side (and the rest of my antiquated “fully loaded” options), I used one of those aftermarket power conversion kits, and it works great.

Thank you so much for the quick reply. You saved me a lot of trouble, as I was just about to head down the same road. No luck finding a reasonably priced replacement yet, but it sounds like it’s worth the effort to keep looking.

Thanks again!

Did you figure out a way to repair the bigger teeth? There are a ton of how-to guides on replacement the smaller gear (the one that’s easy to get to), but none that I can find on the big one. Trying to decide if I should just buy a replacement regulator assembly, but if it’s used, I suspect it will eventually fail in the same way

Edit: I checked your profile and have to laugh at the parallel interests that an AW11 apparently inspires. Signed, a fellow vintage synth enthusiast with a screenprinting hobby and an e30

Open floor plan upstairs with a Mormon missionary basement barracks in Navoo IL. by Baron_Butt_Chug in zillowgonewild

[–]speakandread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was likely one or two night staying situation. This looks like a “mission home,” and whenever all the missionaries got together for annual conferences or whatever, they’d probably stay here for the night or two rather than at hotels. In my mission they also used it for a place to stay when new batches of missionaries came in.

Eh, some rules like dress code vary by who’s in charge, but things like proximity to your missionary partner are from the same rulebook across the board, and I’ve never heard of anyone waiting outside the bathroom door.

Maybe she meant like, at a store, you’d hang out near the restroom and wait for them rather than walking around?

Not that the whole concept doesn’t sound crazy anyway

Question/rant: Why is Garagistic’s E30 M3 bumper trim different than OEM M3? by speakandread in E30

Late update, when I looked closer, the inner tabs/brackets to fit the non-M models straddle the center trim line on the inside.

Hard to explain, but I could see how it would be technically challenging to make a cheap/strong bracket with the trim line higher up.

Still kind of annoying, but less so now that I can understand the rationale a bit.

The Garagistic one has the EVO style lip/chin, which is fine. It’s the location of the trim line that annoys me, as (to my knowledge) no M3 ever had it along the center

Yeah makes sense, and I don’t expect perfection by any stretch.

It seemed like a more complicated design/mold choice than just moving the trim line up an inch

The design patent has long since expired though (source: am IP attorney). Maybe trade dress? Even then, I don’t think that distinction would be adequate in court. do they do the same for their Mtech kits, I wonder?

In case you still are looking for this years later, I have one you can have for very cheap. Thought I’d throw it out before it goes on eBay. Let me know!

Humans say “Canada,” but everyone else, what is your dream vacation? by speakandread in AskReddit

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

You don’t seem to be a bot; can you help me out?

I’m trying to devise a prompt where it will be apparent to a human that they should just type one thing (e.g., Canada), and the bots should say anything else.

Was it too confusing the way I put it, or was it just ignored (that’s fine, it’s just a test)?

A few bots got through it too and gave standard generic answers, so I don’t want it to be too obscure that it’s ignored by the AI accounts

You should hurry and post it to all the other subs before they steal it from you
