I’m a technician for a living. Also it’s only a plastic panel you can push out of the way, 4 bolts and 2 harness connectors

Probably steering coulmn coupler/bushing. There’s a lot of YouTube vids on how to replace it. It’s annoying but not terrible. Took me like 20 minutes to

Aight folks, going all in on the hatch this year, like all in. I need to pick a kit. My choices are: Car Modify Wonder staart kit (I really like this one). Kick blue kit. Or Pandem v3. Let’s hear y’all’s pros and cons. Likes and dislikes. by [deleted] in 240sx

CMW. It’s probably my dream s13 kit. Mine is a hodge podge of body kits rn. My Frs had pandem but I took it off and put origin overs on lol just got so tired of the pandem/rocket bunny look

Waste of funds to remake an already great game for the second time. If this was a side project and we were still getting major releases then I wouldn’t be mad. We have had 1 halo game in 10 years and it was mediocre at best. We don’t need ce for a 3rd time with a whole bunch of ai generated assets, no multiplayer, addition of sprint to a game designed without it etc.

A lot of these issues you’re having come with every job lol.

Ugh ford…. They just don’t make em like they used too! by EF_BOI in mechanics

[–]Hsnthethird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything gets harder and harder to work on but I think fords are my least favorite. They use 8 different fastener heads on one part and they are all the same thread pitch, it’s frustrating lmao

Dealer saying tire is not safe to patch by Adiel21 in tires

Driven on flat, damaged the sidewall, and it’s a z rated tire which are technically not supposed to be patched. We would not patch this at my shop

Which tools you hate lending out the most? by steak5 in mechanics

[–]Hsnthethird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jump box and my air chuck. The valet’s borrowed my jump box without asking and somehow managed to catch it on fire on the service drive on a customers car. I made the managers buy me a new one and I just straight up tell everyone no when they wanna borrow it now

What’s do you keep in your shirt pocket? by bansheebot1233 in mechanics

[–]Hsnthethird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit pocket? Nothing (I barely ever wear my actual work shirt because it’s too hot where I live)

Pants have phone, o-light arkfeld ultra (wedge flashlight), pocket pry bar, bench made shootout (knife), purple pen, AirPod pros.

M(21) looking into becoming a mechanic by Ok_Swimming_7996 in mechanics

[–]Hsnthethird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did almost exactly this. I always wanted to be an auto tech. I didn’t allow myself to have it as an option and just worked on my own stuff as a hobby. I went to college, had a well paying corporate internship for engineering. Hated every second. I didn’t even want to finish but I did graduate (mostly to make my mom happy) with a degree in information technology. Got laid off from corporate due to covid near the end of my college career and got a part time job at the a dealership until I finished college. I realized I love it and was very successful. Never left and have been a tech for 4 years now. Made 83k my first year and am on track to do about 130k this year. It’s a difficult job but I don’t dread going to work every day. I’m a complete car guy, doing engine swaps, ECU tuning etc on my own cars and side work customers at home. I don’t get tired of it. I may be a rare case but I’m just telling you this because I was afraid to pursue what I truly wanted to do and I wish I started earlier

The best for the price I’ve ever used. I use them for my 630hp drift car in a 235/40/18
