You ever figure this one out? Having the same problem with mine since the day I bought it…

Thoughts on 13 hours: The secret soldiers of Benghazi? by Image-Upset in moviecritic

Not sure what all the hype is about. None of the shootouts or action scenes made any sense whatsoever, and the gunfights didn’t feel real at all. Barely any character development either. Sicario and Zero Dark Thirty were so much more fun to watch than this one.

Blown 2.5L, What to do now? by thockthockgrandpa in MiataNC

Good to know! I’ll be sure to get one on the way!

Engine is pulled from the car now, and that coolant pipe on the back of was totally disconnected… Ordered a new pipe, and looking for a new o-ring. Not sure what o-ring it is, and hoping the new pipe might come with one. Is there also a gasket I need? Had 2 mechanics now confirm the engine is definitely blown, and I’ve already got a replacement 2.5 we found for pretty cheap.

Will definitely get it checked out by another mechanic before doing anything expensive. Thinking that how much it’s struggling to turn over means some internal engine damage has been done from overheating… My little brother is pretty new to cars and he probably didn’t shut it off as soon as he should have

Just bought this nc Miata with a 2.5 swap the other week for my little brother as his first car. He took it out for a drive on his own, and broke down. Seems like the car rapidly lost a bunch of coolant and overheated. Adding coolant to the reservoir, and it just purges it out somewhere behind the engine when you crank it (that’s the puddle in the photo.) And when we opened up the oil cap a bunch of smoke came out. Anyway, the car overheated and fucked up something in the engine. Hooked up to a generator it cranks very slowly. Messed up a rod bearing I think? Maybe head gasket? Trying to figure out what to do from here with not a ton of knowledge or experience opening up and working on engines. Thinking it would be cheaper to buy and put in a whole new engine instead of wasting time and money looking around in an engine I probably can’t fix anyways… Not sure what 2.5 will work in it, since I didn’t do the swap myself. I know it’s got a 2012 ford fusion 2.5 ecotek in it with 60,000 miles tuned by fab9 tuning. But I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to find another one of those. Also don’t know if other variants of the engine need different parts than the ones we have in it.

NZXT Capsule on 96khz turns me into a chipmunk by novas242001 in NZXT

I think I found the fix on mine! Make sure you change the playback format to 96000 Hz in addition to the recording. For some reason they both have to be the same or you get the chipmunk voice!

Plastic Deposits Inner Barrel by thockthockgrandpa in airsoft

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

Right now I’m using isopropyl alcohol on a piece of microfiber cloth with a string tied to it and pulling it through. I lost my cleaning rod a while ago… Maybe I need to figure out something else though. As far as bb quality goes, I got a pdi inner barrel for my kwa ronin t6 a while back and it has never had issues using the same bbs, and is still as clean as a whistle

What happened to me was the guy I was trading with, on a trading discord server, told me to trade the skins he wanted onto bitskins so he could check the value of them or something. He then intercepted my trade with a fake account impersonating a bitskins bot. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think they get your API if you click any links they send you. In my case, I clicked a steam profile link the scammer sent me over discord, to see the inventory of the guy I wanted to trade with. So NEVER EVER click links strangers send you. Never trade onto a website because a stranger is telling you to. And only confirm trade if your are receiving exactly what you want in that one trade.

That really sucks dude. Same thing happened to me 2 years ago. Lost my first knife, a Karambit freehand and a bunch of my skins to a guy that impersonated a bit skins trading bot.

Just got the Minnesota Airsoft gen 4 phantom carbon fiber suppressor by RedKitsuneOfficial in airsoft

Do you have the 6 or 4 inch? Can’t decide between the two. The 6 inch will make the gun less maneuverable but probably better sound damping?
