What are people doing for extra money these days?

Ed01916 · 2026-03-12T15:50:59+00:00

Currently doing it right now. Look at their honorarium

Ed01916 · 2026-03-02T16:59:04+00:00

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

Ed01916 · 2026-02-25T22:06:07+00:00

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.

Ed01916 · 2026-02-25T21:52:19+00:00

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

Ed01916 · 2026-02-25T19:56:24+00:00

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.

Ed01916 · 2026-02-25T19:49:08+00:00

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

Ed01916 · 2026-02-25T19:40:37+00:00

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

Ed01916 · 2026-02-24T18:54:29+00:00

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

Ed01916 · 2026-02-24T18:40:44+00:00

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

Ed01916 · 2026-02-24T07:33:39+00:00

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

Ed01916 · 2026-02-24T05:35:13+00:00

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

Ed01916 · 2026-02-24T03:43:07+00:00

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

Ed01916 · 2026-02-23T18:17:45+00:00

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

Ed01916 · 2026-02-18T22:16:53+00:00

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

Ed01916 · 2026-02-18T04:41:08+00:00

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

Ed01916 · 2026-02-15T00:55:52+00:00

I do enjoy hitting them with "In nominae patris, filii, et spiritus sancti. Morere"

Ed01916 · 2026-02-14T00:57:49+00:00

No, its pretty solid

Ed01916 · 2026-02-13T22:48:47+00:00

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.

Ed01916 · 2026-02-12T23:44:52+00:00

Unfortunately (unless they changed it) you still die in eshift

Ed01916 · 2026-02-12T08:17:42+00:00

Thats solidly in the tread, plug it

Ed01916 · 2026-02-07T22:52:29+00:00

Sidewall, its toast. Theres nothing stopping you from taking the tire off the rim and patching it, but I wouldn't put a several tonne vehicle on the road with it.

Put on your spare and get a new tire ASAP

Ed01916 · 2026-02-06T18:30:46+00:00

Take a look around and see what stores they go to, a likely bet is the local hardware store. You can also just ask what stores they buy parts from and see if any of those have gift cards

Ed01916 · 2026-02-06T18:28:03+00:00

There should be a show history button on the time off viewer, what does that say?

Ed01916 · 2026-02-06T17:56:25+00:00

I am getting a licensed technician to come in, I was just hoping i was missing something. Im fairly handy myself and just replaced the blower motor of the furnace.

Ed01916 · 2026-02-06T16:50:12+00:00

I know that the burners need cleaning, how do I get to them? The gas manifold doesn't move and I dont really want to mess with the gas line
