h4nd Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Wipes the system. Traditional warning to new users about the power of the command line, and not blindly typing in shit from the innernerds. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rm+-rf+%2F Finest compression avaliable under UNIX/Linux! Unfortunatly, there is no decompressor avaliable. I once used rm to remove a link to my mp3 collection. Unfortunately it was a hard-link. Holy shit linux deletes stuff fast in the 3 seconds it takes to realise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 heat gun can also be used to revive old LED screens (your microwave that only shows half the numbers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelies Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 point heat gun down metal tube, stretch wet sock over other end for insta-dry which of course means i had treasure-map edged leg warmers instead of socks for the rest of that day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingbrick Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Is there a difference between 85$ (pair) and $300 brake disks? They all look the same to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 i would imagine the material quality and finish is better able to handle heat cycles better without warping, dissapate heat better etc in reality they probably are exactly the same and just in a different box 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Has anyone looked into 3d printing W series gearbag speedo drive gears with the right amount of teeth to suit your final drive combo to keep your speedo accurate? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 i would imagine the material quality and finish is better able to handle heat cycles better without warping, dissapate heat better etc in reality they probably are exactly the same and just in a different box Yeah obviously there's some that have better cooling slots (I think DBA has better shaped slots) and some have holes and slots etc.. But there's still a huge price difference between discs that look completely identical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingbrick Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Yeah iv had a good look around. Seems the only way to be sure is to buy a reputable brand. DBA even heat treats their rotors which apparently something that isn't done by cheaper manufacturers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Has anyone looked into 3d printing W series gearbag speedo drive gears with the right amount of teeth to suit your final drive combo to keep your speedo accurate? whats the deal here, do you swap a pair of gears?

Raizer Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 whats the deal here, do you swap a pair of gears? Just the one gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Theres only 1 gear on the speedo drive which I believe comes in a few different teeth counts from factory so it would just be a matter of getting one made to suit swapping onto the speedo drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Which reminds me. I need to sort mine out on the Gloria. Datsun/Nissan runs the same dealio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 i'm obviously missing something about how you can change the number of teeth on a gear without changing the other gear, or the diameter. even though i've done this on my falcon. does that mounting widget rotate to change centreline? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 That very question used to keep me up at night. The hole is off centre and you can rotate the mounting thingy to suit whatever sized gear. Within reason ofcourse. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
