Wheel filler
FUCK THIS FUCKING WORLD
2024.05.21 02:41 fufu1260 FUCK THIS FUCKING WORLD
I found out I still follow discord boy on Spotify and decided to listen to the playlist he made that has over 200 songs and he wanted me to listen to all of them and now I want to listen to it all. augh this brings back memories. I remember when we were texting or voice chatting I was starting to listen to the playlist and he FUCKING PLAYED EACH SONG I WAS LISETNING TO just to make sure we were listening to teh song together and now I feel all bitter sweetness in my heart cause I miss this guy. I miss what we had and I know I say I'm not over bumble bro but fuck If bumble bro weren't on my mind, I'd miss discord boy. cause I still do sometimes miss him. I miss our long video chats. I miss teasing him about Andrea the girl from his game. I miss his good morning texts and I miss voice chatting him right after he was done working and while I was getting ready for class. we never got to look at squish mallows. fuck him for missing out on that. Fuck him for not letting me get a squish mallow keychain for his backpack. FUck him for being one of the better guys. I know he didnt' give his number. But fuck I miss what we had and now here I am listening to his longest playlist. Laughing at his sexy time playlist and kinda disappointed he hastn' added to that playlist. Augh. I wish I had gotten a chance to call him my boyfriend. He has so much potential. but alas I wasn't the girl he wanted. I just was a filler. I was just a backup and time filler. and I was the rebound for the girl he really wanted. GOd I wish men wouldn't do this. make a girl feel so wanted when they dont' actually want her. Augh I miss our voice calls. I miss our texts every day. I miss him. I need help. I need so much help. His memories were literally teh sweetest ever. I'm not over how he got a hot wheels car after going to both the farmers market and Kroger when we were together. I miss him trying to spend time with me before up to the minute before he has to get read for work. FUCK. FUCK Dating.FUcK Men. FUCK me for falling hard and fuck me for being needy and fuck me for not being enough for any of them. I swear to god I'm never enough. I know you all will tell me I'm gonna be enough for one guy one day who will treasure me, but rn my illogical brain tells me I want the guys who might have used me or whatever. Case Right now I just want to feel wanted. Fuck. I miss that feeling of being wanted. I miss feeling like I mattered to someone. I miss having someone who wanted to talk to me every day. Someone who seemed like they cared. but every guy I liked, I fucked up with them. I know I shouldn't blame myself entirely but I have no other reasons when they leave me the in dark or bumble bro shit, when I knew I was the reasons. Why is it so hard to find someone who wants me? I know that's a hyperbole but I mean it. Why can I find someone who I want that wants me back. Why can't I wake up with amnesia and forget all these happy moments, the happiest moment in my life in a while. I'm tired of being in a rut. I'm tired of feeling this way. I just want to feel wanted and desired and cared for. I want to talk to someone every day But no one wants me. NO one wants this basic ass white washed asian (And horny men of reddit, stay the fuck away, you all dont' count) I just want someone to want me. I'm thinking about so many people at once. I fucking hate it. But I had to swear off dating. I had to because people were worried bout e. telling me I need to focus on myself. I need to get over bumble bro. I know I do. But I literally need a distraction to forget him which is horrible. it makes me so sad. It makes me so sad to say I lost the guys who would have been my world. God if discord bro or bumble were here, either one, I'd be so fucking happier than I am right now. Cause right I sometimes wonder why I'm even on this fucking world. Why do I stay alive or why am I alive if no one actually wants me? My sister has her boyfriend and her friends. my odlests sisters have their families, My oldest brother has his family, MY mom and dad have each other, My other brother is fine with solitude. And my best friend prefers to be alone instead and maybe I'm even a chore to them. idk id' have to ask. They say they want me but barely text me and Balme their habits. when I bet they're talking to our other friends cause they would consntalty text and no one would constantly text me. FUCKING HELL WHY AM I ALIVE AND WHOEVER PUT ME HERE NEEDS TO TAKE ME OUT. PLEASE. I'm so fucking done (I feel nothing right now.i'm fine) god I just want to be wanted by someone I want but no one wants me. No wants this piece of rubble. im' too messy. there's seven billion people in the world and no one wants me. they have other people. everyone does. Augh sometimes I wish I could just kill myself so I dont 'need to keep feeling this way but I can't bring myself to do it when I know my family would be crushed, my best friend would not have me in their life forever like they imagined, my friends would have no drama to hear about, my dog would miss me. Discord servers would never know about my death and wonder where I went all their lives, pinging me, asking me where I am. can't do that to them. I can't do it cause they don't deserve it. no one deserves to lose someone to suicide who they could have helped. It's not their fault. I need to communicate better. but I'm too scared. Im' too cared to be too needy or to annoying or whatever. fuck. I hate living this life.i think I gotta turn off this play list it hurts. I need my sad music about missing people and losing people to suicide instead. augh. It hurts. It fucking hurts. And no one knows and since no one knows no one cares. My family thinks I'm perfectly fine. but I've been suffering. I've been suffering being told I might have BPD, being told not to date, being told I'm being a stalker for stalkers BEHAVIORS (that have rarely happened). I'm tired of being scruitienized. I'm tired of being a child and called a child. I'm tired of being confusing and mixing up what I say. I'm so fucking tired of It all. but here I am. FUck this world. Fuck whoever put me here (im sorry god but I'm not well, I want someone who I want to want me but there's n nobody) Like why doesn't god just take me? people tell me he wants me. I could surrender to the devil, just jump off a bridge or stab myself, but nononononono I can't....I can't do it when I have so many things to live for. I can't do it when I know it'll hurt everyone who loves me. I can't do it cause I dont' need discord boy coming to my page one day finding out I killed myself, seeing I talked about him, and how I was hurting thinking it's his fault for leaving. or waht if bumble bro has reddit ? what if he's stalking me???? I can't do it those people. they don't deserve to know that someone they once cared about killed themselves from being in pain because of missing them. I can't do that to them. I just gotta sit and silently suffer wondering why don't just do it. But ig gotta stop thinking about it cause some part me is thinking right now since I'm home alone I could just end it here . I could end it but I can't. but I could. But I can't do it. I wont' do its I won't allow the fucking devil to take me. but at teh same time I could finally be dead and not be in pain or be in a constant state of pain that isn't emotional and mental. I can't. I won't, I refuse. Fuck the devil!
please send some love. Please send some prayers. I'm so numb. I need help. But I'm fine. I wont' do it. I dont 'actually want to do it, I just think of ways I could do it right now. I'm home alone. I could go to my room where a giant pocket knife is sitting on my bedside table. I could I could I could. But I won't. I refuse to. fuck it hurts rn. I just want someone. I want discord boy o r bumble bro or my best friend. But none of them want me right now. And I can't talk to two of them but I dont' want to bother my best friend cause they're tired. So I just sit here and wait for my brother to come home at midnight. ugh. Wish me luck. Need therapy,

2024.05.19 22:44 trh351 AMT(MPC) 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona
 | Another one started thirty some odd years ago. AMT converted the Charger 500 into this car which ironically had once been a Charger Daytona before becoming the DOH kit. This old mold had been around. I stole sol Me parts from the Revell Daytona that weren't needed for the race version. I used the kit decals...regretfully. I really had no options. The color is Testors dark red over black primer. I also used Fireball resin wheels and huncaps. The last picture was the filler I used way back when. Super glue and baking soda. A lot of my old models have had this filler fail. submitted by trh351 to ModelCars [link] [comments] |

2024.05.16 00:50 Nervous-Algae-4452 Update on my kids ranger
 | After 38 deliveries, 7 returns, 3 sets of fenders, headlights, tail lights, front bumper (cheaper and easier than original replacement) front assembly, 2 tailgates, and for some reason an accidental F150 grill, we’re back to fully drivable. Time for some body filler and sanding and then we are going to raptor line it the original color. I roll my eyes as I type this but she also wants to do wheel spacers and some sort of roof rack/bed rack. “Makes it look way cooler” -14 year old girl. Thanks for all the cool comments on the last post, she enjoyed reading them! submitted by Nervous-Algae-4452 to fordranger [link] [comments] |
2024.05.15 18:41 lostinthevoid___ Prime and paint front or back of wheels first?
First time painting wheels. About to repaint 4 Oem wheels. Sanded out curb rash and used metal reinforced filler for deep spots and sanded smooth. Cleaned and degreased surface. Tires are still mounted to wheels.
My question is about the priming and painting process to prevent drip marks on front face of wheel?
When priming/painting do I:
-flip sides between coats?
-prime one side or both sides before painting?
I might be over thinking it. Any suggestions welcome.

2024.05.15 03:00 Just4Ranting3030 IMHO- TWD is consistent through S10 Ep 16- then....
This won't actually go into specifics of the plot or characters, so no real spoilers, but I've been re-watching the entire series for the first time- I made it through season 3 or so when it debuted, abandoned it forever, came back to it like a month ago and I am now on Season 10 Episode 18 and counting....
There's been a lot of debate around here about if/when the series jumps the shark, is at its best or it worst, etc. and although it has some stronger moments and some weaker moments- occasionally some awkward dialogue or some poorly justified and basically incomprehensible changes in an otherwise consistent character, etc. I thought the quality of it remained basically steady from Pilot through Season 10 Episode 16- and then COVID hit and they added 6 extra episodes to Season 10 and tried to bridge it to the final season to properly conclude the whole story.... and you can tell they're filler episodes and you can tell its a COVID Protocol Production.
I've read up on it and I am unclear why they added six episodes when Episode 16 was supposed to effectively be the season finale, if not potentially the Series Finale? And then COVID hits, they add six episodes and... again, you can tell they're shot for COVID protocols, you can tell they're spinning their wheels- ultimately as a viewer I don't mind. The crew got money, which is always a good thing.
But yeah- seems like it'll pick up decently enough in Season 11 and conclude on an alright note?
Anybody else feel this way? I keep reading that people think Seasons 9 post-Rick and beyond are considered the weakest by many fans, but I felt like the quality remained the same and I personally didn't miss Rick. I felt like Michonne and Daryl, etc. picked it up nicely as the leads and even after Michonne took her leave, Daryl and Carol and Co did a good job of picking up the Lead Character Energy and providing a solid core/anchor for the show's abundant supporting cast.
I am still 5 episodes away from the conclusion of Season 10 and 24 episodes away from the conclusion of Season 11/the entire series, so I have no idea how it goes from here, but it seems like apart from unplanned 'bonus' episodes/COVID restriction era episodes, I imagine the series will regain form and I'd consider it successfully consistent through its entire run, even as it gained and lost characters.

2024.05.14 19:46 Boondoggle_1 Any of you guys/girls upgrade from an earlier (current body) to a 2024?
I've got a 2019 Sierra Denali. I drove a 2024 Denali Ultimate today, considering an upgrade. We arrived at a number for the new truck that I'd be very comfortable with but I can't get over a couple items on the 2024's.
First, I don't like the 22" wheel. Not at all. I vastly prefer my 2019 20" wheels with the larger tire. It just looks more "truck". If I went with the '24 I might actually ask them to swap wheels/tires between them.
Second, allegedly most/all of the more recent 24's are missing the full fender fillers in the rear? I'm not sure if this was entirely accurate since some of the others on the lot had the full rear filler. I really prefer the more finished look with the fillers back there. Is this an easy aftermarket add?
I guess other than those items the 2024 is slick. I was on the fence about the black grill vs the chrome I have now, but it was harder to hate the black in person (on a silver truck). The interior is quite an upgrade, for sure. That bigger display would be life changing. I didn't try the Super Cruise but I bet that's pretty slick too.
I promised to decide one way or another by this time tomorrow. I'm hoping some of you fine people on this sub can help sway me one way or another. Thanks in advance!

2024.05.14 19:14 Repulsive-Cod-1571 Hating myself.. don't know what to do
29, female. Basically, I hate myself. I have a 4 year old son, and I feel like he will grow up hating his childhood because he had a depressed mom.

- I hate driving. I'm convinced I will die or my son will die any time I'm behind the wheel. This has caused me to not really be able to drive him anywhere without my boyfriend. I'm afraid he will think that his step-dad was the only one who cared
- I hate the way I look. I'm constantly chasing this "unapproachable" look. Bleaching my hair, saving up for lip filler, spray tans, etc. Like, I want to look like a mean girl. I don't know how to explain it.
- Even when I'm "excited" about something, I still dread going when the day comes. I have eras tour tickets for May 19th, and I'm dreading it. I've been excited up until now. Now I'm just nervous.
- I can't live in the moment. I am 24/7 living in the past or being afraid of the future.

2024.05.13 20:49 wisconny Fitting Rear Hub on Farley Frame
Hi all, Attempting to fit a 1500w rear hub motor on my Farley 5 frame and am running into issues… I’m most used to drop out’s and am not sure what the name of this oval wheel attachment point is, I know that my prior wheel had the pass-through rod and it had several filler pieces to make it fit right, which do not fit once I get the motor in place. What washespacer would you recommend? I have plenty of room between the motor and the frame, so will likely require washers. Haven’t had any luck identifying a kit to pickup for this fit yet, any assistance would be welcomed!

2024.05.12 06:51 New-Quality-1107 Fixing melee
I will try to keep this short so it is useful. These are my thoughts on fixing melee for next patch. Overall, melee isn’t terrible at endgame. A relatively geared character feels decent, the issue is how bad it is to get to that point. Bosses punishing melee more is a separate issue and that requires boss mechanic adjustments so I’ll ignore that since it’s a separate issue.
Some filler items: Ailments are mediocre, bleed is better with bow at the moment and impale feels like it needs pride watchers eye, both these could use some love. Give a pass to melee focused ascendancies, champ is good but the rest could use some love. Slams were fun for a minute, bring that back. Reduce some weapon requirements, the skills have them and so do some supports it’s annoying to break your skill because you put in close combat or something.

- Weapons - rolling weapons is awful. Base damage of weapons is too low. Phys weapons require too many high tier affixes to be decent. There are too few uniques as a bridge to get your good rare in most cases. Keep power the same for rolled items but massively bump up base damage, lower mods to compensate. Staves are super annoying to roll.
- Attack speed - stop with the 70% attack speed on gems and stuff. Endgame it doesn’t matter a ton but early game it’s awful. This makes it feel too clunky.
- Totems - ffs, this horse has been beaten so many times. Just no. They give too much damage to not use them, but you’re not investing enough into them to keep them alive. This is essentially a -30% multiplier if you don’t use them. That’s too punishing for such a clunky mechanic.
- Weapon passives - this hurts so much. They are cool and add flavor, but if I find a sick axe but I’m specced into swords either I break a bunch of passives or lose a good item. At least give masteries to make x also affect y or something to minimize the pain some.
- Accuracy - it sucks. I’m not sure the ideal fix here, thematically it makes sense. In practice though melee has a tougher time with defense as is and losing suffixes for accuracy is painful. I’d rather have chaos res.
- Additional strikes - this is great that it’s a mastery, but attack masteries aren’t available enough around the tree. Just give this mastery in more places or make more attack wheels. The monsters cannot block mastery is good too, usually it’s tough to get more than one of those.

2024.05.11 23:30 highfives_ghost Advice/ feedback before doing the other side
 | I am doing some rocker repaint on my girlfriend's 04 GLI. I did not use any filler on this side. Just sanding with primer, rock guard, paint and clear coat. I started with a 120 grit flapper wheel and then block and hand sanded with 320 grit before primer. I am not a body guy at all, this is my first real attempt. How could I have made the transition from metal to original paint nicer? Thanks for your time. submitted by highfives_ghost to Autobody [link] [comments] |

 | Today I had some smoke/clouds filled in around the dharma wheel on my chest and I’m wondering what folks opinion is about filling in the negative space inside the wheel. What are your thoughts? I have another appointment in about a month where I’ll finish blasting over the nips and around the outside of the pec and into the armpit with a filler similar to the smoke, but stylized a bit more like watesplash to tie in the fish. Would love to hear from any tattoo artist. Thank you 🙏🏻 submitted by DaiRinZen to tattooadvice [link] [comments] **please keep any negativity to yourself, please 🤐 |
2024.05.10 10:10 Fun-Opposite2426 Flux for stainless steel?
I’ve been trying to fillet braze with stainless steel to make racks. I’m using nickel silver (GS-72) and gas flux type b. I can get an ok joint but I think I’m burning the flux because it leaves a nasty black coating that’s almost impossible to remove, the wire wheel won’t make a dent in it. I am trying to keep the heat as low as possible to still wet the filler out. Is there a better flux or filler material to use? I’ve had great success with that flux and filler using regular steel. I’m getting the surfaces super clean too because I know that’s a factor with stainless.
Cheers!

2024.05.09 18:15 SERPSI Petrol filler rusty screws replacements
Hi All, just bought a 2020 595 Competizione after way too long away from owning one (last one was in 2009!).
Does anyone know if the screws that hold the filler pipe on (see pic) are easy to remove, ie. is it a straight unscrew and replace one at a time, or do I need to take the wheel arch liners out and get it jacked up to get at a nut on the other side?
Also does anyone have a part numbetype of screw they are?
Thanks in advance :)

2024.05.09 00:23 Arayvin1 Loud whistling sound
Hey guys, I need some help identifying a loud whistling sound coming from my 2000 GT.
It sounds exactly like this video from another person, this is not from my specific Mustang.
https://youtu.be/L-9VSIg4UEc?si=0ky1ouAYh7NoQ27r
It only happens when the car is moving, and it only happens after 15-20 minutes of driving. Once the whole car is warmed up, it whistles like this constantly unless the car stops moving.
I cannot figure out where it’s coming from, it only happens when the car is in motion so I can’t pinpoint it
Thanks for the help

- The whistling noise still happens when I push in the clutch, I have a new TOB with only 10k miles.
- It still happens when I press the brakes, and I’ve checked all four of my brakes and nothing is rubbing on them, and none of the rotors have any gouging or scraping marks that would indicate the source of the noise.
- My differential is freshly rebuilt with new wheel bearings and I haven’t had any issues with it well before the whistling noise. All four of my wheels also have no play in the wheel bearings.
- I have a new IAC valve and the noise still occurred before I replaced it.
- The noise still happens when the car is moving in neutral, I thought it had to do with a vacuum leak under load but I’m not sure.
- I have a new accessory belt, I don’t think it’s a tensioner issue because it only happens when the car is moving, no matter what the engine RPMS are.
- I did just replace my fuel filler gasket, and my fuel pump is also new with only 15k miles on it. But I don’t know much about fuel systems and EVAP systems and I know whistling noises may occur from that.

2024.05.08 13:40 Express-Stand-2767 What to look for when buying a used car
I see that a lot of people here are looking for used cars but don't know how to look at one properly. So, with my experience in inspecting cars, let me share a brief checklist so that it helps all those who are in need.
Headlight plastic mounts are a good giveaway that a car has been involved in a front collision. It is fine if the seller has repainted the bumpers, just check for the thick steel beams underneath for any damage. Nobody expects you to get under the car for inspection (though you can with the help of the inverted foot mat). Don't feel embarrassed. You are buying this car with your hard earned money.
Next comes the glass. Factory glass always have brand's marking. If it doesn't, ask why it has been changed.
Pull the door handle, the door should open without much resistance. If you have to pull it with force, you might be looking at a repaired door (after an accident, of course).
On the inside, look at the door card's door handle for flathead screwdriver marks. Ask what all repairs has that particular door has seen - window regulator motor, denting etc..
If the car has around 50-70k km on the odometer but has new seat and steering cover, you maybe looking at a rolled back odometer!
On the centre facia and console, look for same screwdriver marks. To change the evaporator coil, one needs to take the whole dashboard out. Also, there can be coolant leak repair too (from the heater coil). The evidence for the same could be seen at the steering wheel. Look at the steering wheel side for marks ( the access port is at the side of the wheel where it meets the dash). Ask for what repairs has been done here? Could be a sign of airbag installation/removal.
Be weary about the misaligned roof mounted AC vents. It is a typical sign of a rolled-over car. Some crooks are just lousy when it comes to repairs.
On euro-spec cars, see if the roof-liner is sagging. You cannot repair it at that particular spot. It needs to come out and a new liner is installed then. Also, while you are there, any visual reminiscence of water on the liner should tell you that the sun-roof isn't working well in keeping the whether out.
Start with inspecting hoses all around. Developing cracks and lumpy ones would need replacement. Be vigilant especially about the radiator ones.
Next, see for any oil traces on the top area (valve cover gasket), then oil filter housing (on some euro-spec cars) and in the back area of the engine (where it meets the transmission). The top one can be fixed easily but can be an evidence that there were times when the owner skipped on oil change. The back oil leak (main seal) is expensive to fix.
Next, check for extra unplugged wiring couplers. These generally are aftermarket. So, ask the owner whether they have done any other fittings on the engine or anywhere else in general. If the work doesn't look quality, then its better to move onto the next car.
Check whether the head and block has evidence of repair (extra adhesive spilling out here). It is fine to buy a car that has been overheated in the past, given it was repaired at a good garage or authorised service centre. If the seller can provide the proof, then it is fine. The car needs to come at a discounted price, though.
Check the coolant's colour and level. If the colour doesn't match with the OE coolant then you know that the maintenance hasn't been ideal. And if the coolant level is below the 'min' marking, then it is possible that the car has an overheating problem (where it is drinking coolant).
Start the engine. Ideally, it should start like new. But we don't live in an ideal world, so it may start with a delay. You'd be able to hear the starter motor taking the load and turning the engine over. If the delay (turning the key and engine firing up) is more than 2.5 seconds, then make a budget for starter motor service/replacement as well.
Go at the front and take out the engine oil dip-stick. There shouldn't be excessive oil droplets coming out here. If that's not the case, the rings or the PCV is at fault. Light blue smoke out of the engine oil filler cap is NORMAL (it is just blow-by).
Take out the radiator cap (make sure the engine has has its day's first start in last 5 minutes) and see if there's steam coming out. There shouldn't be any air present in the cooling system.
There should not be squealing (bad belt) or chirping (pulley problem) noise from the belt area. Check for the cracks on the belt as well. If the car has over 80-90k km and the belt is stock, then you are looking at belt, tensioner pulley and most likely water pump replacement.
Shift the gear in reverse and feel if there is a jerk. Also, rev up, there shouldn't be excessive movement on the engine. These two things along with creaking noise from the dashboard tells you that you need new motor and transmission mounts. Some cars have motor mounts that can be easily spotted. Look for their rubber condition (or oil leak on some high-end cars).
The injector and lifter noise should be rhythmic (that tic-tic-tic noise) and idle should be constant. Have someone keep the rpm at 2k and check for smoke from the tail pipe. Initial burst of black smoke in older diesel motor is normal (it should disappear after a second). Other colours like blue (it is very light) and white should not be present there.
Transmission
Engage the handbrake to 6-7 clicks and start the engine, Make sure nobody is standing at the front.
Take it for a test drive and shift in all gears. It should be all smooth. If the car has over 80-90k km, ask the seller whether they have had the gearbox oil (and filter in case of automatic) changed. Request for a proof as well. Slight resistance shows that the transmission is running on its stock oil. More resistance may indicate that the shifter cable bush may have worn out.
There should not be any rubber-band effect (except for CVT). It is not a big expense on manual but can be an eye-watering one on an automatic.
Suspension and Steering
Rock the steering wheel gently side-to-side. There shouldn't be excessive play and a clicking noise present. Start the engine, turn the steering wheel to extreme left/right, there shouldn't be any whining noise while turning. Stop the engine and take your phone camera out.
Start making a video pointing the camera just behind the car wheel. Replay the video to see if there
Electricals and misc
Let's start with checking all the window regulator buttons. Both the master (on the driver side) and individual buttons should work. No noise should be present. Also, observe the speed at which the each window goes up.
Check for seat controls and the full range of motion. Same goes for the ORVM.
Are wiper jets working or they just spraying anywhere but windshield? Check for the fluid level under the bonnet. If it isn't empty, and no spray is coming, it could be a clogged/broken line. If it is empty, fill it with some water and check for any leak underneath.
If they are working, what about the efficiency of cleaning the dirt off the glass? Wipers go bust after some time and replacing them costs money (shows the amount of effort on seller's side as well).
Then, put the key into ON position (just before the crank position) and see if all the warning signs light up (especially the check engine warning sign). A lot of crooks would just slap a black tape on the CEL and people wouldn't notice (common on VAG cars).
Next, check all the lights inside and out. Have a friend to see whether your input correspond to the associated light output. On older Honda cars, see if the the brake light goes off after you release the brake pedal (sometimes the stopper breaks and switch wouldn't deactivate).
Stereo controls should all be working. Pay attention to the volume knob. All the speakers' output should be crisp.
Check the sunroof if it is working at all positions without making any funny noises. While it is open, take your head out and look at the drain channels for gunk. If there is gunk, then you know that the seller hasn't cleaned them often (or never), which may lead you to spend fixing future leaks.
Lastly, open the fuse box(es) and look for broken relay or shady fuse play (shorted fuse with wires). Don't buy a car that has shady electrical.
AC and heater
AC should blow cool air with the engine running at idle. If the cooling performance increases as the car moves, you may be looking at a worn out compressor. And compressor replacement also includes replacing condenser and cooling coil, cleaning HVAC lines, and flashing expansion valve. Do take a decent 50k for this job.
The air distribution from all vents should be normal (centre ones with more punch). If the car has rear vents do check them for air throw as well.
Check the heater operation. If any warm air doesn't come out of the vents after switching ON the heater, then the seller may have blocked the heater coil (instead of replacing it). This also can mean that the car has seen overheating issue as coolant might have been leaking into the cabin through heater coil.
Next, check whether a slight change in air throw and temperature is felt when you turn to fresh air mode. It is common for the blender motor to break.
Tires and brakes
Look at the tires. Ideally, they all should be of same age and brand, but driven wheels wear faster (and people forget tire rotation), so it is fine if you find front pairs different from rear.
Check for uneven wear as well as major cracks. Heck, check whether the rims has all the studs!
Looking at a skew angle, you should be able to see the meat brake pad has. Run your finger over the disc rotor (make sure the car hasn't run in the past 1 hour). If you feel that irregularities are deep, just make note of it.
Just behind the rims should be the brake line visible. Make sure it has no cracks on it.
Next, hop in and go for a test drive. Post 15 minutes, you take the car to 80 km/h and apply brakes. Here's what you need to observe.
Also, was there any squealing or RTC bus like noise present while you applied brakes? Worn out brake pads squeal and dry calliper pins make those bus sound.
And that's pretty much about it. If you have some more points, do share them, I'll edit them into this post.
Happy weekend, lovely folks! :)

Cosmetics
Start with visually inspecting the car's paint at each panel. Make sure there is no fading and orange-peel effect. Then there's the overspray to check in the panel gaps, lettering and on weather strips. Look for inconsistent panel gaps, too.Headlight plastic mounts are a good giveaway that a car has been involved in a front collision. It is fine if the seller has repainted the bumpers, just check for the thick steel beams underneath for any damage.

2024.05.07 18:35 Tyzlohh Tire Sizing and fitment issues
 | hello all, looking for some opinions in how to fix some rear fitment issues, my car currently rubs on the fuel filler neck so trying to get a good fix, obviously first thought is tire size, currently i run a 255/40 and the wheels are 19x10 +40, thinking about dropping to a 215/40, have any of you dailyed anything close to this? i think the smaller tire with a small spacer is all i need. just looking for a little feedback submitted by Tyzlohh to Stance [link] [comments] |
2024.05.07 18:29 Popsychblog Balance Can Make the Game Better, but Nerfs are Only One (Ugly) Part of Balance.
I wanted to highlight a key issue I’ve been seeing with the balance philosophy over the past few years: I think it tends to hurt players more often than it should, and delivers them joy less often than we’d prefer.
While it’s a good thing that adjustments are made more often these days when it comes to keeping experiences fresh and attempting to keep meta dominant forces at bay, there’s a lot more to balance than nerfs.
Consider a tier S deck. It is by far the best thing to do, and if you don’t do that, you lose more games. These are your Undertaker Hunters and Ashes of Outlands launch Demon Hunters of the world. The best and uncontested by anything. These things do need nerfs to bring them back down in line with other decks, to give players the ability to explore other strategies, and so we face more variety in opponents.
Those goals are good as they give players more options to explore and more chances to find something to fall in love with, as well as reduce frustrations from clumping up in one particular area. Frustrations will always exist so long as losses do, but it’s important that play experience is varied to ensure those frustrations don’t come from the same places over and over again. As they stack from the same place more often, they tend to get more frustrating and the game more repetitive. We don’t want to add that level of frustration to the game experience.
Now that’s all well and good, but there are downsides to nerfs too, which tend to get less appreciated in players anger to get revenge on their opponents deck.
First, nerfs take things away from players. They can invalidate parts of collections and decks that people really enjoyed playing, leaving one with a sense of loss and that their time/money put into crafting a learning a deck was not well spent.
I remember many years back when I first started playing and was really into the original miracle rogue deck. While I knew it was a wasted investment, I decided I liked it so much I was going to make it gold. As I was part way through this process, Leeroy ate a nerf. I realized that this entire investment I was making was suddenly devalued (as I didn’t get a refund on all the other related cards) and it felt like shit. The same thing happened next time auctioneer ate a nerf. My good times playing the deck became much less good.
Were those nerds deserved? Sure, maybe they were. But it also felt like shit all the same because I was losing something I loved. Ideally, we want to minimize that feeling in players. Imagine how you might feel if you spent $50 on a signature Sif because you like the deck so much just to watch your Rainbow Mage eat nerf after nerf (even when not really warranted by win or play rates) until it’s unplayable trash. That’s a horrible feeling we’d like to avoid.
Second, nerfs do not create new strategies. It’s a strictly subtractive process. Now if one strategy is way too oppressive you need to substract sometimes so other decks can breathe, but if there is really nothing in the game, or an expansion that is viable and appealing to you, in terms of play experience, then nerfing the top decks won’t actually fix your problems. You need somethings to enjoy more than you need nothing to hate.
As an example, we can consider spell mage right now. That archetype sucks. It even got buffs and still sucks. If you enjoy the idea of spell mage, it’s unclear how many nerfs it would take to make it viable but, so far this expansion, that number seems to be “probably more than 30”. The number of times you’d need to delete other strategies and other peoples fun to push mage into the meta is unreasonable and undesirable. The same can be said of many archetypes, like Taunt Warrior, Combo Rogue, or those Demon Hunter cards that synergize with drawing cards. Nerfs to the best strategies don’t make those archetypes work because they’re extremely imbalanced.
Imbalanced, in this case, meaning exactly what it should: they are far from the average power level, just in the negative direction. The way many players focus on imbalances tend to be in terms of pulling top performers down, likely for the very simple reason that they see the top performers. It’s easy to forgot how many dead archetypes might exist but don’t because of how very weak and imbalanced they are.
This is where buffs can come in to really save the day. By bringing up weak and unplayable cards into the realm where people might start thinking about them as options for decks or role fillers, you can really create more fun, as you increase the ways to play the game (without getting harshly punished by losses), increasing the chances people might find something they really enjoy and increasing the variety of opponents you face on ladder, reducing frustrations and boredom.
Consider Henchclan Burglar. A 4 mana 4/4 pirate that discovers a spell from another class. That card will never go into a real burgle deck because it’s irredeemable trash right now. Like Shell Game, it’s a card that is bad and would be weak even if it was better. The number of nerfs that would need to happen to the meta for that to be a real card in decks isn’t reasonable. So right now the card, in practice, doesn’t exist. And it hasn’t existed for years. But if you buff Henchclan up to, say, a 2 mana 3/2 it’s now a card that might go into some decks without any fear of it being too good (as we already have the reference of Kajamite Creation).
There are dozens or even hundreds of cards in standard you might consider for changes in this way, across all class. You largely don’t need to worry about power creep in these case for the simple reason that it’s not power creep. It’s just taking a bad card and making it less bad. And hey, even if sometimes the process makes things too good, you can just nerf them back down. Balance is, after all, an iterative process.
In the ideal world, Taunt Warrior could be a 47% win rate deck some players enjoy instead of not existing. Same for coin rogue. Or spell Mage. Or draw demon hunter. Or deathrattle DK. Or anything in any other class. The more packages of cards get released that just suck, never get better on their own, and never get buffed to the point anyone might play them, the less fun there is to find in the game.
So in discussing balance, let’s really focus on balance, and not just try to tear down the top performers to replace them with new top performers that get torn down until everyone loses a deck or two they love without getting new fun things to do.
[Additional information: Let's get a concrete handle of the situation, using VS's last report:
In Warrior, buffed cards include: Shield Block (and Gift, by extension), Slam, Bash, Bladestorm, Armorer, Aftershock (after being nerfed), and Craftsman Hammer
In Rogue: All excavate cards (Scorpion), Flint, Velarok, Antique Flinger, Fan of Knives, and Tess
In Druid: Aviana, Wild Growth (ie. Gift), Swipe, Chia Drake, and Woodland Wonders
In Hunter: Ball of Spiders
In Paladin: Grimestreet Outfitter, Acolyte of Pain
In Priest: Pip
In Shaman: Hex, Lightning Storm, Hagatha, Altered Chord, Jazz Bass, Ancestral Knowledge, and Spirit Claws
In Warlock: Sludges, Popgar, Sludge on Wheels, the Fatigue Package, Furnace Fuel, Spirit Bomb, Molten Giant, Felstring Harp, and Symphony of Sins
In Deathknight: Much of the Rune system, Maw and Paw, and CNE
In Demonhunter: Going down swinging, Kayn, and Metamorphosis
In Mage: Manufacturing Error
These are cards and decks that are seeing play, in part, because of buffs. And that's a good thing. We just want more like it in more packages of cards and classes]
