This is a big transition for me. I've been working with these guys as a consultant for 10 years with their design engineers. Funny thing is, my core work involved fail over data centers
That's next level installs.
Do you support your own helpdesk or do you guys outsource?
And there's a lot of people that realize that our software just locks down a web browser, but they still need someone to write a web app that actually does the work.
It's common for us to identify that we need to support a device for a project, add support for it into our off-the-shelf product, and then start the custom dev work, and leverage the device from the web app (via javascript)
(the off-the-shelf product usually provides a simple javascript layer to interact with the device)
Very good thank you - the weather has decided to become wintry now. Grey, cold, wet (sorry @Bob if you are still in Scotland) but having a good Saturday
I'm still working to get the vacuum lines figured out. I have it about 90% ... but as with most early 90's engines, there's a lot of them.
I bought a couple of 5' sections of vacuum line yesterday, two different sizes, to replace a lot of the hard and brittle ones on the engine. That makes it easier, but I have some more which may need different love.
I looked at your blog post and had a look under the bonnet of my WRX and Forester just to see similarities. The vacuum lines on mine seem to be much more flexible than yours - not sure why that would be different
You know I mentioned a concern about the CV joint on my Forester near side. Took it to the garage this week - they took it for a quick drive and diagnosed wheel bearing. I had thought CV because of how it was associated with the amount of turn on the wheel
Luckily they were scrapping a Forester XT and the bearing is identical so I'm getting that
With wanting to sell your car (this is the "for sale" car?), I'm sure you don't want to dump a ton of money into it.
Also, as hard as the old lines were, it seems they came that way from the factory. They aren't really brittle ... just hard like solid lines ... why anyone would want to use them is beyond me. On top of these hard/flexibles, there's also a ton of steel tubing in between a lot of them.
I bypassed some of the steel lines and just ran regular vacuum lines under there. Seems there'd be less of a chance of leakage ... Thinking: Less connections = Less chance of leak
I'm going to rewatch some of the "taiden" videos where he's working on the intake manifold. I'm hoping I'll get some osmosis going and glean the rest of the info I need to get it back together.
Morning @anonymous2 ... I'll say that, then I'm going to go start breakfast.
The badge which always strikes me as funny is the Famous Question badge ... seems like the badge just comes out of nowhere to slap you in the face. Had that happen on SharePoint.SE yesterday. I'd asked a question on there about three years ago and it finally tipped 10k views, lol.
That's a weird one alright. Only had that happen once in "real time" off the back of a tweet I sent out. The other ones have been years later at random
Oh - this election has got me my outspoken badge here :-)
And unconnectedly, I finally got the sportsmanship badge. Don't think those other two election badges are coming soon though
@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 I noticed it was an easy one to get, so why not, right.
I had also seen the leather question before, and since I've been looking into restoring a '72 Mercedes with leather seats, I've been wondering about the leather.
I can usually take it as well as I dish it ... I don't mind people giving me heck for things. Keeps me on my toes. I tell people, if I am not teasing them (or giving them a hard time), it means I didn't love them any more.
@Myself - I agree with your point for the most part. I bought a Harbor Freight $20 1/2" torque wrench less than a year ago. They have a good reputation as a cheap/good wrench. 4% accuracy isn't perfect, but well within reason. If you don't have the major funds like with the one I posted above, this is a good choice to go with.
I just want an electronic one with the angle gauge built in.
I'm a little more anal than that ... well ... a lot more anal than that. Not saying what you're doing is wrong, at all. If it works for you, good on yah.
depends on who you ask really, as a mod myself Ive learned each mod has the strengths and weaknesses but if the site mod team communicates all will be well.
@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 nah ;) That is a voluntary fire brigade, and I am also involved. It is usual in our location that someone does a bit of work for the community
There is some for paramedics, but not as much. Since you have to have a lot of medical training involved with paramedics, I wouldn't expect they'd come flocking to do the volunteer work like that on a regular basis.
I'm looking to get new tires on my motorcycle and picked out different brands for front and rear. Both are radial tires.
I didn't think this was a problem until a friend mentioned it to be a terrible idea.

@Zaid - I was wondering the same thing? The question is setup (it would seem) to prove a negative and the single answer I saw was reinforcing that idea.
I was hoping @DucatiKiller would come on and throw something at it.
I'm sure he'd take a look at it and wonder the same thing.
@BobCross ahh - well, yes, up the back of beyond doesn't have modern things. Of course that's half the attraction of places like Skye
Took my wife's Honda Jazz out for a wee drive today - really odd handling. Got home and had a good look at the tyres. The inside edge of both is massively worn. I'm thinking alignment must be badly off
@RoryAlsop - Personally I don't think any car should have a setup like the Acura above. It's a styling statement, sure, and if that's what they are going for ... so be it. I would think having the tires sitting full on the ground with complete contact patch, and zero deflection out of the suspension joints would serve the vehicle much better.
I can see a bit of camber/toe-in for performance aspects. I'm sure there's also some deflection at the joints going on as well, which takes up camber under hard cornering.
Even if it wasn't, there is nothing likely to develop in 3 months that could cause this, so it must be a problem that they shgould have seen on the previous set
Grumble... I have spent the day in the garden, hacking at some trees. Finished the job, loaded the cuttings into the car to take to the council recycling depot - then find they now close at 4pm... So I now have a car full of tree until tomorrow!
@RoryAlsop I'd much rather they retire in the proper recycling place. And object to the fact that I pay for it through my council tax, and they are making it ever harder to use
@BobCross In far eastern Europe you need more paperwork than words. Where the "paperwork" must show the images of deceased prominent american or european people. It is advisable to have plenty of them and hand out them generously
