i recommend getting a non-slip heavy duty liner for the drawers if you haven't already. this way you can just place your tools and it wont roll around....plus saves space.

Yah, she's more familiar with Cantonese. And ya gotta know: before I placed the first tool in my chest, I bought the best liners I could!

did you replace your helper spring yet? that helps quite a bit on the take-off. i think LMB still sells them?

thanks, mr.alcheng. yah, it's really similar to how i compared it to my software piano latency. the initial latency is still there, how the throttle input quickly ramps up is just different. and so yah, not buying it.



indeed.
Mr.kenchan...!!!

any idea what are you going to do with the old unit??

Looking forward to see installed pics with the re-wrap bezel..

I have the helper-spring completely removed, like the feel of the clutch pedal itself, although it does have a slight play.. but it could be got used to quickly

Mapo Tofu -- 麻婆豆腐

It's a very popular Sichuan Province(四川) style dish. Most of the Sichuan dishes are spicy, if you wanna try, I will suggest another Sichuan dish which is also very popular:

Kung Pao chicken or Gong Bao chicken (宫保雞丁). It's a bit more dry than the Mapo Tofu, we also serve it with rice, (well, rice in Chinese cuisine is like pasta in Italian so it's almost a must to have white rice )




If you are curious about is it a Mandarin dish or Cantonese dish.... mmm.... consider it as Sichuan dish

Different provinces from China has their own style of cuisine, it's difficult to categorize them just into two but you will look smarter if you can tell people what specific Chinese cuisine is it

You know, we Z people drive smart, post smart, talk smart and eat smart..!!!

Really, that's weird I don't remember anyone saying they liked the OEM feel better. Most people either liked a different spring or no spring at all, but like people have said no spring has a little play at the top of the pedal.

That's cool though different strokes for different folks and now you got that sick RJM pedal replacement which is even better

that's what I didn't like was the play at the top, so a bunch of us started to try and source the springs
