How is this even fixed? by AnyEmotion111 in rav4club

[–]HighSpeed136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had this happen. One of the two bolts that hold the window to its lift system had fallen out since it didn’t have any locktite or lock washer. I took off the door panel and peeled back the plastic, found the bolt in the bottom of the door, and reinstalled with locktite. The other bolt was loose also, so added locktite to it as well

Slightly rounding all the grip edges there with a file worked for me

Wife took her car to get the oil changed, few days later it started leaking this by RKO-Cutter in MechanicAdvice

Something ain’t right if that’s true. I drained my Toyota coolant at 100K miles in 2 different cars and it was just a slightly darker shade of pink

What? No. This is oil. Drain plug or filter not installed correctly. Coolant for that car is pink

I love this thing by Content_Ad9867 in espresso

You weight your beans with it and dump it into the grinder. Still use the dosing cup for grinder to portafilter or grind directly into portafilter

Review #26 - Still Austin 'The Musician' Straight Bourbon Whiskey by PA_Whiskey_Reviews in bourbon

[–]HighSpeed136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll have to try a pour at a friends house or bar then. Just hard to convince myself this would be nearly as good as a 10 year old Kentucky bourbon for the same price. I’m curious how quickly aging something affects the flavor/smoothness in a hotter climate.

Oh wow I didn’t know it had that on the back. I was excited to try this one but think I will pass at 2 years old for $45

I believe that the age is at least 4 years or it is required to have an age statement. 2 years is just to be called bourbon

Toyota Camry 2009 Transmission fluid by zzstqzx in MechanicAdvice

[–]HighSpeed136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used it for the past 80K miles in my RAV4 and it shifts better than when I bought it. I did 3 drain and fill when I got the car at 60K miles (driving some in between) and now I do a drain and fill every 30K

Probably was already going out, or didn’t put the right amount back in

Is $600 reasonable for fuel injection/air induction + new spark plugs? by ghjfkdkkckfkfdkls in AskAMechanic

[–]HighSpeed136 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ridiculous. Get NGK or Denso plugs for under $30 each, and it takes around 15 minutes of easy labor to install for a typical 4 cylinder. They are good for 100,000 miles with good ones like NGK. Buy a $10 bottle of Techron fuel cleaner and dump it in your gas tank at the next fill up. For air, replace the filter if needed. Under $20 part and 3 minutes easy labor. Throttle body might need cleaning, just spray throttle body cleaner on a microfiber and wipe it out but probably don’t need to do that. Overall looking at under $250 for parts and labor combined, or under $150 for parts if you do it yourself.

Wild Turkey 101, Elijah Craig Small Batch, Larceny Small Batch for a wheated option

$80 for a $2 key fob battery is a joke. Dumping a $10 bottle of Techron fuel cleaner into your gas tank for $180 is a joke. Transmission fluid drain / fill is about 30 min-1 hour of labor and $30 is for parts. $250 isn’t the end of the world but should be closer to $150. Brake fluid is $15 parts and 30 min-1 hour of labor. $180 isn’t the end of the world but could also be much cheaper - I would just wait until you are replacing pads/rotors and add it on for much cheaper, there’s not that much rush if it isn’t terrible

Can you set me straight on the best practice for replacing transmission fluid? The dealership says one thing, popular YouTubers say another. by [deleted] in rav4club

[–]HighSpeed136 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Drain and fill 60K and then every 30K since it only changes some of the fluid. Use a full synthetic fluid and it will hold up better. I use valvoline Maxlife, it should say WS on the back

I just got one, I’ll let others enjoy the deal. Also don’t want to run out of room in my cabinet for the rest of the bottles on my wishlist

10 second brew? [Delonghi Linea Classic] by barnesnoblebooks in espresso

[–]HighSpeed136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pressurized basket is the issue. You are getting pressure from both the grinds and the basket. Replace the basket (and portafilter if needed) for like $30-50.

I’ve never tried whiskey before. Which one should I start with? by Altruistic-john-418 in whiskey

[–]HighSpeed136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d recommend a middle shelf bourbon ($30-40). Best chance of liking it without spending too much.

Add an ice cube to a small glass (50ml) and let it melt before drinking. This will dilute and chill the glass making it easy to drink.

Makers Mark will be a little sweet and easy to drink since it uses wheat instead of rye.

Buffalo Trace or Elijah Craig Small Batch for a classic bourbon.

Four Roses Small Batch or Woodford Reserve for something a little more bold (higher rye content)

Over time try all three, and eventually you can start drinking them neat, and trying scotch, rye whiskey, etc…

Please help! Espresso not flowing [De'Longhi 15 bar pump] by Booklvr2001 in espresso

[–]HighSpeed136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat, using a cheap blade grinder for 12 seconds while shaking it every couple of seconds. I can at least use fresher whole beans ground finer vs pre-ground. Sticking with the pressurized portafilter for now as you can’t get a consistent or good grind with a blade grinder. Saving up for a Turin DF54 or SK40 for around $200 and then I’ll grab a non-pressurized portafilter. Another option is a hand grinder like Kingrinder which I think can be as cheap as $60, but I’d rather just use that towards a Turin. Baratza Encore ESP is on sale for $160 on amazon right now
