>>28949797Last time I had tires replaced they simply didn't balance them at all and I had to come back a week later. That's a 50% miss rate for me on new tire balancing. I'd take the risk of slightly worse balancing versus no balancing any day.

>>289497213.4% is the area where inflation is going to consume the value of the reinvested portion eventually, 3% keeps it level.Me personally, I would pay myself whatever calculates out to the yearly necessities and withdraw in chunks for whatever needed/wanted.In either case the goal is really to maintain the value if not outright increase it, and pass it on to the next person.

Hi, anons. I am taking an admission exam for a mechanical engineering project in Brazil focused on building a "Baja" vehicle (a kind of small off-road vehicle designed for 4x4 competitions). The suspension system currently used is the swing axle suspension. The exam question is: "What would be the best geometry for this type of suspension, considering its advantages and disadvantages?"Could you guys help me with this?Pic of the current prototype

I've been running Rexing because I really like the form factor and how they tuck into the windshield behind the mirror but they keep fucking failing to record, after a while they stop working and a month later I'll pull the footage and realize they haven't been working. I've only got one working out of five (I run three and have already replaced two due to failure). Again I love how they fit but I just can't risk losing footage and not knowing it.What is the most die hard long lasting dash cam brand? Bonus if you can read the fucking plates in the footage.
>>28946476I don't do slides burnouts or pulls because I'm an adult. Cameras are for recording the stupid kids like you who can't even drive stick. Shit you're probably a no car if you don't understand how fucking stupid the normies out there are.>>28946480like this guy. project much? Camry acceleration would make anyone bitter.>>28946383are you... unironically recommending reddit? that's so fucking disappointing I'm using boomer ellipsis...>>28946449this guy drives. yeah the first thing the manufacture blames is the cards, high end class 10 recommended brand in all my cameras, formatted in camera.
Dashcamtalk.comI ended up buying a 70mai A510S front + rear hardwire setup, it has parking mode timelapse recording and it has the sony starvis 2 sensor (which is the thing right now). Was like $130 for the whole setup. Plates easily readable on the front, not so great on the back but it's enough to capture what's going on.
>>28947654>>28946449I'm leaning toward the A800SE it's supposed to be more heat resistant. What's stopping me is it's unclear what I actually need to capture damage or disturbance when the car is parked. There are several kits like the UP05 that are unclear in purpose and it's unclear if the unit has any sort of battery itself or if I actually need what looks like a UPS brick. I've got three vehicles that need cams and two of them sit enough they need solar trickle already and the third is my daily which gets driven multiple times a day usually.
>>28947828You'll need the brick to not drain your battery. Mine has an option of shutting off parking mode after 12 or 24 hours and I don't use the battery brick, but I drive everyday and my hybrid vehicle doesn't use the 12v battery to start the engine, so I don't use the brick.

>subaru sway bar links end in a hex socket>supposed to be able to thread the nut out by holding the bolt with an allen key>rounded out, zero grip anywhere what do? I think I destroyed the link as far as it can be destroyed easily dremel or angle grinder doesnt seem promising
man, fuck trying to remove sway bar links when they've been marinating in a water-salt-mixture for a few years. unless the previous mechanic was smart enough to put some decent anti-seize on the threads (almost nobody does so it seems) then it's always necessary to use an angle grinder or sawzall to get it out of there
what is this thing
>>28950782wheel or drive shaft spacerif there is a spring on the inside, its a seal.
>>28950651>wrenchlet finally realises that you can turn anything into a bolt head with a grinderYou could literally grind that sucker down until it fits a socket with tighter tolerances than a store bought bolt.
>>28950663You don't need a dust shield especially on a car that shitty.please replace the shocks and axle.
I finished my project 2011 328i, and now it's been a reliable daily for the past few months. What should I work on next? Thinking about something cheap and different. Any recommendation is fine.
