Oh Roadkill how I missed you.  EDIT: Random but hoping someone can help me out. All the Android devices in my home are slow as balls on the WiFi. We have 3 different Android phones with 3 different OS versions and they all operate at a snails pace. The one iPhone works fine. The PS3 and my PC on WiFi run fine as well as a Kindle tablet, 3 Windows laptops and a Macbook. Super annoying. Super Aggro Crag fucked around with this message at 14:10 on Sep 6, 2015 |

LloydDobler posted:What kind of car? If it's a common car and a common color, just getting a junkyard trunk lid might be cheaper than trying to have it refinished. If it's down to primer there's not much you can do but that. 2014 Toyota Corolla and what seems like the most common color. No idea how many junkyard lids are out there yet. meatpimp posted:Yeah, no real repair short of a respray, but the scratches would mostly come out. I'd probably use Dr. Colorchip and it'd be almost unnoticeable after a few applications build up. Tell me more about this Dr. Colorchip. Is it easy to use? And how expensive is it? Her car has acquired quite a few scratches.

Indie merchants also usually have better quality inventory. I called up all the big places looking for Baltic birch ply sheets and all they had was garbage tier 3 ply poo poo with veneer faces. Found this one local place that had the real poo poo, 10 ply, no voids and only the odd jigsaw patch. It was soooooo much nicer to work with than the stuff from the bigger places, so straight and true. Heavy as gently caress too.

Was going to post the exact same thing, Race car was going too fast, go figure. It sucks that those people got killed, but honestly it was a risk they were willing to take.

some texas redneck posted:the claims of "4G" on the box refer to HSPA+. Honestly H+ should be plenty fast for anything you typically do on a phone. I was in a similar situation back in May, the hand me down Note 3 I was using decided to have its sim tray fail and I had to have a phone because I was unemployed and spamming my resume. Ended up with a LG L90 (basically their version of the Moto G), which has no LTE modem. IIRC average download speeds were above 8 megabit up & down, although tower support for H+ in your area/on your carrier may be worse. e: just powered the phone on and checked my speedtest logs from June, looks like it averaged between 8-10 down and 2-4 up.

IIRC there's no standard for 4g so hspa+ and Lte can both be considered 4g. Theoretically, hpspa+ can be just as fast.

There was a nice BF 323 in the local yard that we walked by while pulling seatbelts for a different car. After 50% off day it will probably be picked clean even though it's about to get snowed on.

It's apparently either saturated in my area, or they stole some bandwidth from the HSPA+ radios for LTE. I'm only getting 1-2 up and down. I've hit about 25mbit on HSPA+ before, but that was a couple of years ago.

Half-assed $20 bedliner job turned out decent: Masking and painting the tops of the bed really finished off the look. Little bit of seepage under the tape but I'm happy enough with how it turned out.

InitialDave posted:Yeah, especially with rallying. At a circuit, you generally expect that the runoffs, walls and fences should make it unlikely that a car can hit spectators, but that's a world away from "If it looks a bit sketchy, I'll jump behind that tree real quick like, and try not to drop my scotch egg". I had to google what a scotch egg was, looks.......interesting. mafoose posted:Awesome, thanks for the info! Most of the places I've come across are eerily quiet now. You know what I'd love? Canadian seat belts. Especially since the drivers one gets stuck halfway on the track. Once you post enough one of the Canadian guys would probably find some at a yard and send them to you, or just keep an eye on ebay, they pop up from time to time. But yeah gently caress those automatic seat belts they are the worst. One of the reasons i want a BF and not a BG

On my way to work tomorrow morning I will be stopping at the best motorway services in the UK (Gloucester services - run by the same people as Tebay but at a new site) where they sell these. I will probably eat scotch eggs for breakfast and lunch tomorrow and probably also on Tuesday. Decent ones are amazing.

Do you mean in the inner spider (sliding 3-roller) ones? Yeah, they can drop a bearing and either vibrate or just shake to death. It's not unusual to happen, but you can pop the boot and put it back together if you catch it before you drive it.

The worst part was the guy wanted to replace his S-Line suspension with Koni struts and H&R springs which he bought himself so I only got labor for the whole thing.

Who the gently caress looks up Alldata for struts?!Ive had CVs pop out on plenty other applications and have always just popped them back in. Live and learn i guess. Yeah, thought so. If they do come apart you can pop the boot, and just reassemble. Stupid that the bearings aren't fixed onto the spider like some are though. Had it happen myself a number of times. InitialDave posted:No, I think VAG use regular type CVs for inners, not the "tripod" joints. Some VAG autos use inner spiders, i think all manuals use a regular CV on both ends. InitialDave posted:I had a tripod joint come apart in a Panda. The joint is internal to the diff itself. loving needle bearings everywhere. /Fiat. Usually the ring gear parts company with the diff before the CVs need work. Shitheaps.
