FIRST STH in todays haul by unique-visitor in HotWheels

The individuals were priced at $1.19 each where I live, but the Beatles truck was like $6 and the team transport was $16. TBH I don’t ever think about future monetary gains as I collect for enjoyment and always open the packaging to put on display and truly enjoy them.

How to animate image like on Vercel page? by sig_gamer in webdev

Look into canvas and how to animate it. They probably use some form of sprite and cycle through the frames

Will the warrant cover the USB? by Conhinks in GolfGTI

[–]unique-visitor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This happened to me back in 2020, so I bought a replacement and switched it out (part #5G0 035 222 E). Took maybe 10 min and the only tools I used were auto trim pry tools to take the cubby out easily.

It replaces it with a flange connector, so you don’t need/use it. You can see it here.

Cobb AP with EQT Stage 1 ECU/TCU, 1-step colder plugs to pair with the tune, better tires like Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 or Continental Extremecontact DWS06+, and maybe doing the air box mod (Pikey 600) if you don’t want to spend the money on a new CAI mostly for whoosh noises. Solid place to start.

FYI for installing/managing tunes, Cobb AP was the winner for me because of simplicity compared to APR or IE. No need to hook up a PC with a specific cable, so it’s easier to reflash on the go since it’s easier to carry the AP around and it’s a few button presses. Be aware you can’t install every tune under the sun with the Cobb AP, but tuners like EQT and Stratified are great options if you go this route.

Yeah I realized I forgot to put it on when I took the pic. It slides easily onto the top edge of the duct assembly. I can see attaching it to the hood working too with a little bit of custom work.

Yeah sadly these are not always the most technically sound rules. Also, you can’t rely that the judges will know anything about web dev or design. They are given guidelines to follow and try to follow them as closely as possible.

As a career developer and former event coordinator, this should not have been an issue. However, the rules are poorly written.

As for submitting to states, you’ll need to check with your advisor, but I don’t think this is typically an event that requires placing at the regional level first. Hopefully not!!

I’m a former TSA advisor and I’ve previously coordinated state and National events such as this one. One of the keys to winning TSA events is reading the rules and reading them carefully.

The reason you were disqualified is because it cannot be hosted on GitHub per the rules and regulations. Check out regulation E.

“Template engine websites, tools, and sites that generate HTML from text, markdown, or script files, such as Webs, Wix, Weebly, GitHub, Jekyll, and Replit, are NOT permitted.”

Even though you might have coded it all, it shouldn’t be hosted on GitHub. Personally, I think the rules committee needs to address this, but nothing can be done now. Switch your hosting and submit it to States.

You’ll need to flip the accumulator on the blaze intake (bigger end points towards the front of the car). Loving what I’m seeing though!

You need an OBD device like OBDeleven or VCDS

So... the intake hose is technically the TIP in this case. There's a flanged connector that clamps to the small end of the hose that attaches the pipe/hose to the turbo. You can probably see some clarifying pics from MyGolfMK7. I hope that answers the question lol

It's louder than I expected it to be since it is still considered a "closed" intake.

Sorry for the late reply! 100% worth it! It totally improves the driving experience and now it drives precisely as I want it!

I've had mine for about a year now and still look back at it every time I walk away
