Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Meanwhile I am happy that my parents upgraded from a "6000er line" to a "VDSL 50" one. I had like 600 kb/s DL speed then and it improved to around 4.5-5.5 mb/s on Steam. Would be interesting to see how much an ever faster connection would be.

I never get full either. Or well rarely do. It's funny, mine will have variances of 100 mbit/s and that's /normal/.

My speed variance is more than what most people even have xD

I just got an 06 Civic SI as my first car. I've driven for years but never manual.

 

There's no way to Google it (I tried) so I'm asking the question here: When you park, do you put it in gear before or after you shut off the engine? Does it matter?

I used to be quite active here.

shouldn't matter. Tho I normally park on flat ground and my car will start without clutch depressed (I did this to squeeze all the life out of the thrust bearing that I could, per flyin miata's recommendation) so I just leave mine in neutral most of the time... only in gear if I think it can roll anywhere

 

I'd probably do it after though. just so I don't have a dumb moment of putting it in gear, and then letting go of clutch before turning car off lol

Manual Saabs you have to put it in reverse before it will let you take the key out if the ignition (with the key being in the center there's no steering wheel lock) 

 

So either way it should be okay

thats really interesting. 

 

I assume it gets permanently locked into reverse when you do that?

So many Thanks/Fan festivals happen at Fuji, it's truly amazing how their aftermarket scene is thriving.

Yeah the steering wheel will still move. But it's stuck in reverse until you put the key back in

Just a quick question, I am an apprentice at a surveying office and we have two T6 as surveying vehicles, both 5 speed but I don't really know how to put reverse in them :D My driver learner car was a 6 speed A3 and I could get into reverse by pressing the stick down in neutral, then going top left. I know that on Mercedes, you have to "pull up" in neutral, but what about those 5 speed T6? I don't want to break anything or look stupid when attempting to reverse the car, that's why I am asking here :P

they aren't labeled?

Also I wouldn't worry too much... You won't look stupid lol. Just ask someone who knows where it is before

Yeah, the end result is the exact same either way you do it. I've tried both and I can't tell which is easier to remember. I guess I'll just see which way I'm doing it in a few months.

Sold the moped yesterday, got €915 for it which is way more than I paid when I bought it in 2015 xD sucks to not have anything two wheeled though and I can't get my A2 lisence until September it seems -_- guess it's going to be just car all summer... 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

nice. we have gigabit so I most def will see a difference... but 30 mbit/s is kinda unacceptable lol

 

that and my family complains about the wifi so i'd like to make it better. this seemed to be the best option.

 

I did want the UAP-AC-PRO just was a bit more expensive and I *think* the LR model actually does have longer range than even that one. Rather the range so I can hopefully get the house down to only 1 AP rather than 2. (which btw we have two random AP's -- no auto switching between the two. terrible UX)

So the router seems to be the bottleneck likely?

I'm jealous of you gigabit service, I could get that but they want $180/mo for it. 

 

This will certainly be a huge improvement over your current setup. I can get my WAN in my detached garage through two walls of steel siding, which I find pretty impressive. 

 

Once I build a shop a bit farther back on the lot, I'll add another one in there to really cover all the lot. 

180???? holy crap, in my area, where it's not exactly technologically diverse, we can get fiber internet from ATT for 80 bucks a month. Comcast goes for 75 but it's capped at 400mb/s.

not router, wireless access point(s). Yes.

 

yeah and we have the gigabit fiber from AT&Trash for $80/month.

I hate their company. And their gateway thing is a stupid bottleneck sometimes. it's limited to 2000 simulataneous connections iirc. AND YOU HAVE TO use it.

just another way to turn off the engine right?

lol I've done the even more stupid thing of forgetting about my bypassed clutch switch, the car is in 1st gear, and I decide I just want to start the car....

thankfully everytime the parking brake has been on when I did that... car didn't move much.

Still stupid though xD
