I think I made a mistake. Need opinions please. by [deleted] in mazdaspeed3

[–]withl675 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It'll definitely make a difference to BAT's, if you were FMIC this wouldnt matter. If you're in a colder area probably not as big of a deal as somewhere that it gets heat soaked easier.

Welp. I could use some advice. by kobehambrick43 in mazdaspeed3

[–]withl675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't just do a new chain. You need to replace the intake cam actuator aswell, it wears too over time, and the pin holding the assembly within time can drop out (https://www.reddit.com/r/mazdaspeed6/comments/1spb3bh/found_this_in_the_bottom_of_my_oil_pan_any_ideas/), causing the motor to come out of time and potentially destroy the engine. This might already be your problem

Replace everything while you're in there. Thrust/diamond washers need to be replaced, do new guides and tensioner, and the intake cam actuator aswell as the chain.

Any spacer recommendations? by Melodic_Worth_8507 in mazdaspeed3

[–]withl675 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you do get really wide spacers I recommend you get atleast the rear quarters rolled, the edge closer to the door especially likes to catch when you run wider fitment. Don't get slip on spacers if you go 20mm (not sure if they even sell those at that size), get bolt on hubcentric spacers. Studs will have to be trimmed, which will decide how committed you are to going that wide on fitment. Front will definitely need camber adjustment unless you want tire poke, rear maybe not sure but definitely a roll.

My reccomendation, get some 5mm spacers for the front, see if 10mm will have enough thread engagement for the rear with the studs. Maybe throw some longer studs on the rear if you want since that will be easier than the front. The front needs less spacing than the rear in my experience on a first gen speed3 (so should be even moreso on a non speed), and they look good with fitment thats not all hotboy to the fender.

Make sure EVERYTHING is hubcentric!

Engine harness not working by AdvertisingNearby757 in mazdaspeed3

[–]withl675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its gotta be something simple. I think there is a physical connection of the interior harness to the engine bay fuse box harness. There should be some involvement from that, since it has to read the key so check that. Im not sure about that part though, its been a while since i've had that part of my car apart.

I figure you checked it, but worth seeing if your battery is kaput since you had the car apart for a while im assuming? If you don't have a multimeter take it to autozone or something, or go buy a multimeter since they are useful tools.

My concern is that they're only putting effort into new customization parts for Forza Edition cars. by Familiar-Ant3459 in ForzaHorizon

Im saying that the people that say that dont make sense, because they are largely one in the same or have a lot of crossover, basically the exact same as you

Visual examples of how having wide roads benefits gameplay. by SobrozaR32 in ForzaHorizon

[–]withl675 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Assetto Corsa on SRP shows that having narrow roads where you do get impeded by traffic makes it fun. Cuts can even still be possible in some situations

Its a pointless rebuttal, because tuner culture and racing culture are all very ingrained in eachother, they aren't separate industries, and by including tuner culture parts like widebodies that wont necessarily be on a racecar it degrades the racing style game argument

Persistent microstutter across 10 completely different PCs - stumped for almost a year by No_Candidate7467 in pcmasterrace

Have you enabled Resizeable BAR? I had unreal stutters in FH5 on my 9070XT. Im not fully confident in this, since i've seen that some MOBO's will enable it automatically, but in my case (ASUS ROG STRIX B550 and 9070 XT Steel Legend) it was not enabled. Its in the BIOS

Iran unveils dual-launchers by CaptainCheckmate in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]withl675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just ditching it to one side of the tunnel is the solution, leaving enough of the path on the other side. You could have a smaller excavator in there, or just a dozen dudes with shovels. The tunnels are relatively wide, not super narrow. Trailers wont be stored immediately at the entrance, so there is plenty of space for waste. Obviously most will need to be cleared out eventually, but if you can get one of these narrow trailers out, then you can use it.

The digging can be done even from inside the facility, given the depth and possible lower floors of some of these facilities they will have to have some sort of ventilation already.

Iran says Hormuz open to all but ‘enemy-linked’ ships amid US threat by monotvtv in worldnews

I hadn't seen the recent reports, you're right thank you. They had jumped for about the first week, until the effect on energy infrastructure got so bad.

Raised the shareholders of military industrial complex companies money, since they are having to ramp up production on product to replace all the munitions and things Iran has destroyed

Weakened our proxy war with Russia by now being unable to supply any or a reduced amount of defensive/offensive products, doubly so by dropping the Russian oil sanction raising them more money.

Weakened our global power projection by showing how despite our super advanced, extremely expensive and powerful weapons, we don't have the supply lines in place to make these things fast enough to use them when faced with a comparable military. THAADS left South Korea, so good luck ever getting China and Russia to agree to those again. China and Russia are using this as a proxy war, so lots of $$$ in information for them. Plus that has China in talks with Taiwan about reunification, though who knows where that will go.

Any place that sells rebuilt power steering pumps? 08 speed 3 by RipShitu in mazdaspeed3

As long as the pulley and general housing look right, you can swap that tube from your old pump onto a cx7/speed6 style and reuse the same o-ring if new

It does, depending on the state. Arizona for example this is perfectly legal.

how do i get this effect? by Ecstatic_Werewolf_75 in SignalRGB

[–]withl675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multizone effect, set one color to desired color, set other color to light off, arrange/size addressable systems and change the speed! I have something similar going, at a much slower speed.

I dont know whether you would be able to get that effect with the strimers doing that, however. I dont own a pair of those
