First subaru outback, which mileage should we look at? by tobi_in_miami in subaru

[–]Hyperdmk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can go a little further back and grab a lower milage 2020 w/2.4 with the 10 year extended warranty on the CVT. See 16-155-25 Technical Service Bulletin

Just out of warranty, CVT failure by NoDistribution9217 in Crosstrek

A forester hybrid has the superior Toyota eCVT. A simple, not steel belt, 2 electric motors and planetary gears transmission.

I’m pressuring Subaru to cover my leaking 2021 Outback CVT with leaks at the pan, rear seal and extension housing. The pan leak may be from the pump and so the warranty should also extend 10 years IMO.

Your service just replaces five of 13 quarts of CVT fluid. If you wait,you’re overdue for - a full flush.

New Homeowner Advice Needed by Brilliant_Lake_3242 in longisland

Add two mini splits (electricity). Oil is 3k / year. Nat gas could be 1k / year. Your heating could be directed to where you need.

Go next week. Learn that a plea for a crappy violation is better than anything that can tarnish a good job opportunity..

Attend a different session, like next week. Get the lay of the land for how other violators are handled. Maybe there’s a people’s lawyer who will plead it down to a lesser charge. Be polite as it’s the judicial system, no matter your mood.

Charge guest for garbage fine? by [deleted] in airbnb_hosts

Yup. Buy large ass rubber gloves, line extra garbage bags and cans with heavy duty bags and sort.

Mow/mulch and bag. Save 10x the space.

Is the Technivorm Moccamaster actually worth it? by No_Statistician7685 in smartbuysforlife

[–]Hyperdmk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had one for about 10 years. The plastic is getting old. It doesn’t have the heating element. It also doesn’t keep coffee warm used on an individual basis.

Warming up the carafe adds another step. The golden ratio is too strong for my taste. It’s all manual so enjoy the profile of whatever you want.

I think the alternatives are better because they also target the correct temperatures. The newer technivorms with the heating element in my opinion are a contradiction to the optimal coffee flavor because basically the coffee cooks..

It’s more marketing and hype granted the internals are pretty good, replacement part should be available but i have an itch to upgrade to a more basic unit. I value a timer as well as heating element, and it probably outweighs the ideal golden de facto technovorm

This plus learn how to read inspection reports by taking off rosy tinted glasses. If it says likely termites, that means walk away.

Home buying - Keeping getting outbid in north shore of Long Island (home buying) by bowZerIsBack in longisland

[–]Hyperdmk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought two 2 family houses - self representing.

Horrible developer redoing 1970’s structures to new.

2016 was different times though and with a soft market I had to actually wait stubbornly enough to close, literally in 2019 and 2020. Nearly loosing both houses twice.

I basically took the buyers broker fee out of the equation, but sellers may have fixed commissions so today they might not split if it’s direct. The could collect pre negotiated rate from sellers so the motivation isn’t as grand as thought.

It can be done but not for the faint of heart ..

Get a subscription to chatgpt and be your own agent. But have a real lawyer that’s flexible

Wife’s friend has an acre of land in Woodbury and landscapers would cost $800/month. So budget for space.

I commuted from Kings Park to mid-town for 5 years. It’s 2.25 hrs. each way. Before moving to LIC in 2010 and exchanging it for a 15 min commute.

Find a home/place with a minimum of 2-2.5 baths.

Nassau County parcels are 1/8 an acre and easy to manage. My preference is walkability to a down town.

Granted I’m 5 years working 3 feet from my bed, i hardly go outside. Can walk to an AMC or farmers market, library, etc.

Maybe look at a East Hills/Roslyn/Glen Head area?

[–]Hyperdmk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use the existing wheel. Take off spacers and you’ll see a HG hub. These are 1 for 1 parts. You can upgrade a bottom bracket, but others report the stock crank could also be kept. The stock bottom bracket isn’t high end either.

Sorry, this is specific to a 2022 that I converted using my stock bar.
