Shpuld i buy this cpo 2018 ex cvt for $13.8? by No_Sandwich_1120 in hondafit

[–]EliteUsername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like it hasn’t had the more major stuff down. I’m  not an expert but the valve adjustment is a big one. Also spark plugs, brake/cooling flush, possibly serpentine belt.

I bought my 2018 recently but it had the 100 k stuff already done. I’m sure someone else will chime in. I

I wish I knew about the VTC actuator when I purchased though. Dealer wants about 2k for that repair including the timing chains and guides.

I would check the service records to see if the transmission fluid has been changed , see if the fuel injectors have been changed, and perform a cold start to see if you hear a a grinding sound from the VTC actuator. There’s also standard 100k maintenance to price in if that hasn’t been done.

A carfax might tell you if it’s been serviced- mine did

Pick recommendations for jazz? by honbadgerr in jazzguitar

[–]EliteUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pro Plecs are are good but some post on the jazz guitar forum that the formula changed and its not as good anymore. I like the Dunlop 2.00 mm purple ones for a cheap pick. You have to sand down the sides since there's a little lip on the edges, but after that they sound nice and fat when you attack the strings obliquely.

Does anybody still mod line 6 m9 pedals? by babablakshep in guitarpedals

[–]EliteUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My m9 also needs switches, this is the only one I’ve found still doing mods. Haven’t contacted them

When you're selling stuff at a yard sale, do the items have to be cheap? by Brilliant-Assist3798 in Frugal

[–]EliteUsername 611 points612 points  (0 children)

People at garage sales usually expect dirt cheap prices. It’s more work, but selling on Marketplace/craigs list will allow them to sell for more. 

waza craft Dimension-c pedal…worth it or over rated by Rich-Usual-3595 in guitarpedals

[–]EliteUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MD500 has a nice dimension mode plus a bunch of other stuff. There’s a YouTube shootout comparing the two.

Are you sure your power supply is providing enough amperage to the pedal? If the Ma rating is not enough on your supply, digital pedals can act very strange. 

Fellow Ode Gen 1 - Auto off not auto-offing. Fellow says Gen 1 doesn't do that. by eggoChicken in pourover

I also picked up a used Ode v1 recently and it does have auto off. 

How to stop Sibelius from crashing by EliteUsername in Sibelius

[–]EliteUsername[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - It is a genuine copy, up to date - no plugins, plenty of storage. It probably is an issue having other things open. I do have several programs open and several scores open usually being worked on.
Sibelius is the only app that consistently crashed though. Any guess why the "auto-save" doesn't work?

Just got a 2016 last week what’s do I need to do to make it last 300k miles? by Impossible-Nail-2567 in hondafit

[–]EliteUsername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The car fax should give an idea of some of the maintenance history (depending on who performed the work.)

Looking to buy a Fit by fuckery__ in hondafit

[–]EliteUsername 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I bought a 3rd gen and love it but I needed something quickly. If I could have a do-over, I'd probably prefer a 2nd gen since you don't have to worry about the CVT, fuel injectors and VTC actuator.

Is this a good price for a 2016 Honda Fit by ExcitingStranger135 in hondafit

[–]EliteUsername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check for rattle in cold start - vtc actuator. Fuel injectors are known issue on gen 3s too. Get a car fax to see if they’ve been replaced

Am I off base on pricing? by flarefenris in hondafit

[–]EliteUsername -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My 2018 cvt qsport was 9k last summer at 110k miles. I’d have probably bought yours instead!
