it had a replaced Frame in 2012. its bent af not rusty lol

 

Morning gents. Anyone else waking up sore from a failed transmission swap this morning?

 

Nope.

 

Wait did the transmission fail or the swap?

 

Swap technically. The new one is out of an 01-02 which has a deeper pan and the dipstick is mounted on the passenger side instead of the driver side like I need. The filter is too tall to reuse my old pan so I’m not really sure what to do. I don’t think there’s a place to bolt the dipstick on the passenger side of my engine and I don’t think it would clear my LCE header either

 

Ah thermal paste, anti seize equally as evil cousion

 

I'm still a "dot in the center" kind of dude...have been for +20 years

 

Im a Drip the whole temp sensor in a tub of it and swirl it around kind of guy

 

I used to spread thermal paste but I decided I don't care after seeing how as long as you have good pressure nearly none is as good as way too much

 

I still don't understand how anyone puts on a heatsink (whether fan-cooled or aio) and accidentally leaves the plastic on the contact surface.

 

I've never done it, but I dunno, first time I saw a heat spreader on a CPU I was like "why'd they put this garbage on?" I was like how the hell does this shit come off

 

Just glad I never had to pull apart anything like your old laptop

Thinkpad engineers should really get together with those in the automotive industry, their freaking laptops are so easy to service

 

@Wulf

Decided to get an optical drive emulator for the Saturn - didn't know it was a thing but it replaces your laser assembly for one that pulls data from flash memory IE mini SD card, usb, or ssd

 

Does that mens you can have a halo HUD in real life

 

Just needs a gimp cage

Saw a rally car at the junkyard today



It had three pedals and very convenient fuse placement
