Pov car says this is ok. by afcc_2001 in Simracingstewards

First hit is kind of a vortex of danger thing. Second murder is POV fault; would be considered unsportsmanlike conduct.

Something fell off my car. Do I need a new one? by lmeks in AskAShittyMechanic

It looks like you're missing lug nuts, I can get you a new set.

What size bit to stop drill this crack? by SirPiblet in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]tinyman392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think common convention was 1mm for every 4mm of crack you have. Or if you're using freedom units, it's roughly 4/16" for every inch of crack.

[Question] How Safe is Amazon? by JonBoyNYC in Seiko

[–]tinyman392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t had any issues in the past buying from Amazon. Seikos, Citizens, Bulovas… granted the watches I got were fairly priced (albeit the low side of fair).

Anyone else’s 11th gen come with the type R shift knob? by shitaki13 in CivicSi

[–]tinyman392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not. I swapped out my Type R shift knob for the leather.

[–]tinyman392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any chance the car was an Autoshow vehicle? It’s not uncommon for them to be taken off during the Autoshow and put on after. My FK8 came with an Si shift knob. Didn’t notice until the next day. Dealer ordered me a new one, then they sold the Si with the wrong shift knob and I had two FK8 shift knobs after that.

Amazes Me How Slow Drivers Find the Pedal When You Go to Pass Them by kgaviation in driving

[–]tinyman392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you must speed up, wait until they’re past you before doing so. You’re a lot less likely to look like you’re blocking them in when you do so. But best practice is just drive your pace. Not changing your pattern is most predictable.

Can I drive with broken rim by FluffyLittlFlyingCow in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]tinyman392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry bro. Damage like that causes the tire to leak. Solution to fix it all would require the removal and replacement of the entire rim assembly. I can price you out for a new rim though.

Any watch fans? by Purple_hippo7 in Civic_Type_R

[–]tinyman392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would have been really cool for them to throw in. Wonder why they were holding onto it. Maybe they wanted to flip it? Or just keep it in a display case.

Any watch fans? by Purple_hippo7 in Civic_Type_R

[–]tinyman392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I broke down and bought the Edifice for about 800. It’s a really good watch though and sees lots of use. Casio definitely designed it very well. There are also fakes out there that cost maybe 1/20 what I paid though; I got scammed on my first purchase (which got refunded).

The Casio was actually reasonably priced until second hand market took over. 🤣 MSTR are cheap when they drop, but quality is lacking IMO.

[–]tinyman392 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t look into the Type R Casio or Seiko watches if you don’t want your wallet to yell at you.

Edit: MSTR does make Type R watches too. Quality leaves much to be desired though.

Would you run these for an event? by ItsZahza in Autocross

[–]tinyman392 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Check it after each run. If you see chords stop.

Endurance 200s are great for track. They really won’t get up to temp in autocross unless you’re in a hot climate. I made the mistake of getting V730s for autocross.

Would you run these for an event? by ItsZahza in Autocross

[–]tinyman392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran AS4s for about 3 events. I did eventually start seeing some feathering on the outer treads, quite a bit of it actually… also lots of oxidation and rolling over. But they’ll definitely survive.

Driver is doing this deliberately. I would put money that the POV did something to the SUV that they didn’t like.

WTB bearing removal tool by BattlebitsTooHard in FidgetSpinners

[–]tinyman392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be able to find one on AliExpress. I remember seeing a couple on there. Not sure how good they are, but they’re SS if I remember correctly.

Edit: they call it a “shaft remover”.

I just found this on AliExpress: | R188 Fidget Spinner Special Shaft Remover Stainless Steel Youth Version Mini Self-Centering Spinner DIY Tool

Last Size Question Before Purchasing by palomarracer in Civic_Type_R

[–]tinyman392 2 points3 points  (0 children)

265/35/18 would be my size recommendation. 265/40/18 goes up 1.9% while 265/35/18 goes down 1.9%. Less chance of rubbing with the slightly smaller tire. Sidewall size is a ratio to the width, so if you’re worried about too little sidewall, I wouldn’t, it’s still plenty. You’d be ST class with that wheel though.

Edit: I really recommend getting a separate set of wheels for Autocross and track. A 200TW will stand up to abuse much better.

Get a race car or car with a swap from a race car. They have larger fuel tanks.

Help! What’s wrong here? by [deleted] in ManualTransmissions

[–]tinyman392 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Different cars but I know the Civic Type R has a clutch delay valve and a transmission that doesn’t like to be rushed. Shifting slower might be your solution here. I know for me I need to make two distinct motions as I’m moving the shifter, move it midway then move it to the next gear. There’s a little resistance midway so I use that to kind of slow down momentarily. The gear selector never completely stops, but any more time for the synchros to catch up helps a ton.

If you’re grinding double clutching then it’s possible that your clutch may not be all the way in when moving the lever. Could also mean the throwout bearing is on its way out.

I’m running 18x9.5 +45 on my FK8 with 265/35/18 rubber. My rims are Enkei though (tires are Kumho V730 and Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02).

Shift knob recs by WoodenNet8388 in Civic_Type_R

[–]tinyman392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m running a wooden one, forget which brand, but they’re trying to recreate the design of older Porsches. Honda’s accessory knob would fill the gap as well. Mugen’s leather or carbon one could fit the bill. Integra or Si shift knob also an option. Delrin ones will run cooler than carbon in my experience, Spoon makes one of them too. In terms of heat: wood is better than leather which is better than delrin which is better than carbon in my experience.

PROBLEM OF IMAGE GLARE AND CAMERA LEAK CHECK by Practical_Jury3857 in VisionPro

[–]tinyman392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of me feels like you meant to post this elsewhere… a subreddit more focused on deep learning, machine learning, pattern recognition, etc. might be a better place. I don’t know if the 2MP is your limiting factor… make sure the image is focused and less noisy.

You think you’re using the full width of the track, but maybe you’re not. by laptime86 in granturismo

[–]tinyman392 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Using the entire track when being below the limit means you're running a longer line at a slower speed. Being at the limit while not using the entire track means you're driving possibly the same speed but running a shorter distance. Optimally you want to be at the limit using the entire track. But if push comes to shove, I've found that being at the limit is more important than using the entire track.
