So much work for no good reason... because cheap? *shrug*

Or upgrade brake it? It's simple Subaru 4/2 brake kits.

Hell, you could stop a tank with a set of those …

Well, my parents had a portable A/C (the kind with a vent to the outside) and it worked OK to cool down a small area (maybe like your bedroom).

However, I would recommend a window unit.

About extension cords. Be sure you plug it into a grounded outlet (3 prong). Also, be sure, if you have to use an extension, be sure to get a BIG one, especially if you have to bring power in from another room.


Stay cool!

I know. I was hoping somewhere local, so can fix it today. Might be doing eBay... who knows.

The irony is that I have full AC in Canada. Set the thermostat to 71 and switch from heat in winter to cool in summer.

It's easy to match up race pads, but street pads? I'm just not particularly open-minded when it comes to safety equipment. You can get big brake kits designed for the car, or not... very different price points.


I'm also unlikely to ever find a buyer for the OE Brembos from my BRZ because I don't want to give them away... if only ALL cars came with 'em...

Thanks for the info. I’ll keep that in mind.

Wouldn't mind.. But I think this small apartment building is from the 60s or 70s so doesn't have central anything.

I'd definitely do the kind that vents through the window. But I just don't think I can do it. Even putting the ventilation tube on the window sill wouldn't work too well since it's like this finished wood sill and the apartment manager was very strict about not damaging it, lol.

Meh.

Doesn't the window open? If so, just open it enough for the exhaust tube and fill the rest of the space with cardboard/plexiglass/plywood.

If the window doesn't open, Bubba says to cut a hole in the floor and vent the exhaust into the crawl space …

Meh.

The tubes go through an adjustable panel that fit where the window goes. The tube never touches the sill.

Apologies for picking on you. You're at least aware that it's not a perfect fit, but... still makes me cringe. Frustrating day here, lots of stupid observed (like someone ignoring an oncoming fire truck I had pulled over for and went into the oncoming lane to get around me... despite the truck approaching [and honking like mad at the idiot...]) and it all got dumped into your lap because you want to install mismatched brakes on the car.

back to your regularly scheduled program of slapping wrists for failure to read and follow simple for-sale rules.

Nah, you're not picking on me. You're giving your feedback and that's perfectly fine. It's not like I gonna get butthurt or anything.

*go to mod sec ban hamming cjd* lmao jk

But seriously, agreeing or disagreeing isn't much of problem w me. As long as give reason why and so forth, we can be adult and discuss... I know some days it's impossible in the forum or social media. lol

If you have those kind of day, just go home don't go any fb, instagram or any other social media and just chill w your drink and watch some funny youtube vid. That helps my day better.
