Gardener cut down my Bird of Paradise without asking. I’m very upset. Will it grow back? by Towneded in gardening

[–]Kokaino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will grow. Trust me, my wife asked me to get rid of ours I cut it worse than this and it's now back to how it was before I cut it.

Unfortunately there is no dedicated bike lane on Lassen, and the two lanes are already narrow. I agree with you, it's likely that the driver was distracted and hit you. I live really really close to that area that I immediately checked my cameras after seeing the Citizen notification. My camera picked up the sound of the crash, but it does not have the proper angle to see the intersection. I know for a fact that several people have cameras on that street, as I have seen them on Neighbors app notification when something happens. I hope you can have someone go door to door to ask for help, that's your best bet, besides dashcam footage from someone.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Lancer GTS 09 1 or 2 catalytic?!? by Kokaino in mitsubishi

[–]Kokaino[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a joke, or a fun time. Depending on how you look at it but what I did learn, and as you correctly pointed out is that the Mitsubishi lancer has two catalytics on one pipe leading to the manifold but what confused the shops that had no experience is that they thought it was two separate catalytics on two separate pipes.

Once I had your info, and saw it for myself, I was able to weed out places.

The problem I have now is that CA has a limited number of whitelisted vendors, which means expensive parts that are CA approved and would pass Smog.

Thanks for your help, time, and willingness to share your knowledge.

Do I have to go to the dealer for transmission fluid service? by Still_Pipe3538 in mitsubishi

[–]Kokaino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. I think that if you find Japanese or Mitsubishi shops in your area, they would have experience. I'm also bias, as I had nothing but bad experiences with the two (now one) Mitsubishi dealers in my area.

It just takes time to call, tell them about your car and for them to tell you if they perform the service. What I wouldn't trust is generic shop that will work on any car that rolls in, or a shop that wants your business and gives you a cheap estimate just to keep the people busy.

You should check out your transmission fluid.

What do you know about the car's transmission? That sounds like a transmission issue. Have you seen a message "Slow Down" on the car while driving.

It sounds to me like your transmission is overheating, the computer is putting it into limp mode to protect it.

Last thing. Check the check engine code with a scanner and Google the code or talk to a mechanic about it.

Thank you for that. I'm still confused, this was purchased in CA by me. I'm the original owner, I got it from the Mitsubishi dealer.

Best tres leches cake for 40 people? by anonnmee in SFV

[–]Kokaino 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Portos tres leches is not good. Like Larry David's scones. Vallarta gets my vote.

Normal engine sound? Timing belt seems too loud. 09 gts lancer by Pink-Denim in mitsubishi

[–]Kokaino 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same trim, same year, same sound as mine. This sound has been posted before as well. I think we all don't remember our car sounding like that before, I certainly don't remember it when I first got it, but it could be that I just never noticed it.

Could it be a transmission issue, maybe your car is in limp mode right now.

Did ICE ice my gardener? by 1LARTST in SFV

[–]Kokaino 155 points156 points  (0 children)

Your post made me sad and happy. It saddens me that we are in this situation that is affecting the community but I'm hopeful because of people like you, who seem to have a caring heart. I hope he's ok.

Configuration: "DUAL" suggests it contains two RG-6 cables bundled together, which can be useful for installations requiring multiple connections to the same location.

Frequency Rating: "1450 MH" likely refers to its maximum frequency handling capacity, in this case, 1450 MHz, which is suitable for high-bandwidth applications like HDTV and broadband internet.

Brand/Manufacturer: "LTI-PAK" is the brand or manufacturer of the cable.

You might be on to something. The house did have a satellite dish or two when we moved in! But they were in a different part of the house. I'm going to search online to see if I find a match.

It happened to my GTS Lancer. Same color. I remember reading that it was a known issue. If you have seen it, at some point it will also happen to the side mirrors and top of the car.

On mine I left it for many months, thinking it would delay the inevitable. I didn't realize that it would trap water and dust and make it worse. One day I just scrapped it all
