Welp, at 170k my og clutch is begging for mercy. OEM is fine, right?
I’m not tuned, don’t plan on being tuned, drive “spiritedly” from time to time but I truly don’t bang on it. My clutch is absolutely shot, high revs going into every gear with no speeding up, and I can put it into all 6 gears with no clutch pedal with the car off. It felt soft-ish when I bought it and I tried to baby it as long as I could but there’s no denying it anymore. I always hear to get the RS clutch, is that as in the OEM RS clutch, or an aftermarket one? Or is another OEM st clutch fine? I plan on doing it myself, how much am I going to hate my life?
[actives] My first attempt at a grow, harvested this morning after seeing a few veils pop
These are GT, but I have some APE3 I started at the same time that’s still colonizing. Figured I’d try out something easy and something more difficult. Probably harvested a little early as they seem small but oh well.
[actives] My turn to be that guy 😅 my first grow, are these pins or a bunch of aborts?
This is my first grow and I did a few different tubs using different methods. This one got “straight to fruiting conditions” and has these little guys all over when the substrate isn’t anywhere near fully colonized. There’s decent condensation on the walls, though I’ve noticed there’s less in the last two days than there has been. This tub was started on 7/12 with a 3lb GT spawn bag with a 1:1 ratio of CVG and a pseudo-case. I DID notice (even though it’s my first time) the genetics seemed to be super aggressive and forgiving. I haven’t opened the lid at all, I’ve had duct tape around the rim like you can see the entire time because there was a decent air gap between the container and lid. The container is also very tall for its footprint. Do I have too much FAE? I freaked out this morning and added another layer of micropore tape to 50% of the holes, both small and big. The container is in a grow tent so the air is pretty stagnant in there, I have an exhaust fan on the floor that runs for 2 minutes every 2 hours but that’s it. Is that enough to create a chimney effect and trigger pinning too early? Please ease my hyperfocus crash-out 😅
The black censored area in the second picture is covering something that was in the reflection, not something to do with the container.
Cup holder eating styrofoam cups? Grab your cup and twist it.
The oleeeee cup twist. I hadn’t had a cup bust until last week, I had always twisted. For some reason I did not last week 😅 hope this helps someone
I have a rattle that’s going to make me lose my mind.
My car has developed a rattle in the front driver side. I have replaced my entire lower control arm, front struts with Bilstein b8’s, transmission mount, RMM, passenger side motor mount, front sway bar end links, and have had the front end apart over 10 times over the last month tightening anything I can find. Every time I replace something the noise goes away for about 10 minutes. Except for when I replaced the RMM, that made it WORSE. To me it clearly sounds like a solid piece of metal banging around but I cannot find it to save my fucking life and I’m about to lose my mind. It is bad on side to side movement, it doesn’t happen every time I hit a dip but is bad on sharp bumps or gravel, anything that “jostles” it. It seems to not be as bad if I’m not in gear. It feels like it’s coming from right on the other side of the firewall by my feet or slightly higher. It’s like an insane fucking riddle that’s going to end with me driving off a cliff. I’ve tried getting a video but the sound doesn’t show up well for whatever reason on video. I replaced the struts probably 4 months before the noise started happening and I was terrified I had somehow blown them already but on smooth dips, even if kinda harsh there’s no noise. It also rattles at idle sometimes so I doubt it’s the strut. I will say all the motor mounts were shot when I changed them, like shot shot. My engine had been sitting at a weird angle since I bought the car and I had no clue because that’s how I got it. Since changing them it feels like a different car completely. Is something possibly damaged from being at a bad angle for so long? The new RMM making it worse had me thinking that might be possible.
The mirror deer
idk why my voice sounds so weird in the recording but "fuck" was the only reaction I had haha. Drove down to where I could turn around and went back to get my mirror out of the road and make sure the deer wasn't laying there suffering. Bambi-ass
Deer took my mirror. Do I just need a new mirror setup or is the door fucked? It looks like the studs are still there and fine on the door
Rock auto said it would fit, the other mount I ordered under the same info fit. Was there a change from the PFL that is messing this up or something? Or is this an SE mount?
