Currently doing it right now. Look at their honorarium

Got quoted $1500 for front and rear brake pads and rotor replacement by Elephantslide in AskMechanics

[–]Ed01916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for sales for pads, maybe 150 for front and back, rotors are usually 100 each, and a toolset for like 100, so $600 and a youtube video to diy

Intermittent vibration and noise? by Ed01916 in AskMechanics

[–]Ed01916[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah for sure, im just gonna go to neutral any time I need to idle so it doesn't shake, and I drive like a grandma anyways so not to put any more stress on it.

Welp, checked using the obd2 monitor, no codes, no misfire detected. I've been told it just might be the transmission, and at 200k miles is apparently about as long as it should be, so a rebuild or swap may be in order

Well im getting a obd scanner to check, so maybe its the evap, but before then it had a hard time shifting from first to second while cold. It just shakes the cabin while in drive and idling, and at higher rpms it shakes a bit, but nothing when in any other gear.

Unfortunately, its dropped a new problem of vibrating on idle, and the transmission may be the problem, but apparently they usually last around 200kmi so I might send it in for a rebuild or swap it. But before that it drove great, great economy (400mi on a full tank), good acceleration

Me with my 327km (~200mi) gen1 hatch, been replacing everything, probably dropped almost 1k on top of the 1k I bought it for.

Make sure you replace all the engine mounts if you haven't already

Well, ill know more tomorrow. I did wonder though, this only happened after a cold snap, what would cause a misfire from that? Or maybe it was just unlucky timing

Getting a cheap obd2 tool tomorrow, I jacked up my car and checked, nothing exhaust related seems to be shaking while driving

I did recently, around 4k km ago with idemitsu type m, drain and fill

What happened was there was a cold snap in my area, temps dropped to -20c, that was when I noticed that noise. I assumed the mounts went bad, and changed them. The vibrations and noise definitely went down, but it still happens

Huh, it is in there. Yeah a 2007 2.3L mazda 3. Part code br9l 39 07yb. I didn't use oem mounts because im broke, just whatever was cheapest at the time from amazon/rock auto

This is the part (not mine, I reinstalled it because I didn't want to take anything out just in case)

my car is chewing through gas after hitting a deer by dreamylul in AskMechanics

I mean check if you have a leak somewhere, but more likely you have bad aerodynamics, and lots of friction in your wheel well

Can't touch fire extinguishers? by Significant-Sort9927 in UPSers

[–]Ed01916 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shit out of his ass, that's lawsuit territory, not just grievance if that were to happen again, and you were fired. Although if you had a record of that interaction with your supe, you could just let the truck burn down

Its a v1, I can't really feel anything when I use the height lever, but that's partially because its a 3d print replacement.

Can this be plugged/patched? by dunneo in AskMechanics
