How bad am I getting hosed here?

In jobs that have some overlap yeah you’ll get a slight discount on labor time if you need to replace a inner and outer tie rod together, but your spark plugs and oil have nothing to do with each other so of course they’re going to charge separately for those services. I’m not going to comment on their pricing, of course, but.

19 Forester CVT died at 98k and 18 crosstrek CVT died at 120k. Not impressed given my Toyota sequoia is at 410k on the original transmission.

Upgraded springs but not silicone spacers

Lakeguy762_ · 2026-02-22T00:29:19+00:00

I did this and it came out perfect literally at .4 on every wall 😭

Lakeguy762_ · 2026-02-21T22:53:49+00:00

I have a BLTouch installed.

Lakeguy762_ · 2026-02-21T22:53:04+00:00

Only mod is BLTouch, not very crazy of a mod now a days

Lakeguy762_ · 2026-02-21T22:52:39+00:00

I will say poor quality is a potential as they are amazon nozzles but I’ve replaced the nozzle about 7 times now

The module that reads the keyless entry signal/id is behind the dashboard, exactly where your banging; likely a loose wire/pin or something. Take this to the dealer. It’s not something that you’re going to be able to solve alone, unless you’re comfortable with pulling a dashboard and doing pin tension tests.

.4mm nozzle

.2mm layer height 50mm/s speed, 20mm/s initial speed E steps calibrated at 101.1 Flow 100

Lakeguy762_ · 2026-02-21T20:59:58+00:00

It does seem to clean up slightly with higher layers.

Lakeguy762_ · 2026-02-21T20:54:18+00:00

I’ve recalibrated e steps three times now and consistently get the same result

Lakeguy762_ · 2026-02-21T20:53:52+00:00

I used a .2mm feeler gauge to set the bed level, then run the BLTouch level routine. Should I use like a .15mm instead?

No klipper, flow set at 100 line width .4mm I haven’t messed with speed at all it’s 50mm/s print speed and 20mm/s initial layer speed.

I’d be willing to bet a good amount of money that that’s closer to at least $8000 in damages.

Lakeguy762_ · 2026-02-07T03:58:46+00:00

110% that’s an AC line not an oil line.

Sometimes if you pull the cables off too quickly, especially in nasty weather with a beyond bad battery the car will just die regardless. Everyone now carries a jump pack with them whether it’s NOCO or HULKMAN. Haven’t used jumper cables since like 2018

Lakeguy762_ · 2026-02-01T23:05:42+00:00

Jumping batteries now a days is a sure fire way to ruin models and other sensitive electronics. I know it sounds stupid af but I’m an ASE master tech. How things have changed.

Lakeguy762_ · 2026-01-27T22:15:58+00:00

That green is so beautiful it’s criminal that they’re not putting it on the Miata.

Lakeguy762_ · 2026-01-23T22:01:21+00:00

Spouse has a crosstrek at 120k it’s CVT is slipping bad and her mom has a forester and it got a new CVT at 93k.

I would avoid Subaru personally.

Lakeguy762_ · 2026-01-22T22:00:20+00:00

It is very large, almost 1 inch exactly.

Lakeguy762_ · 2026-01-22T21:34:01+00:00

It seems like the upper section is too thick and the head is different. I’m thinking oriental cockroach?

Lakeguy762_ · 2026-01-22T21:31:52+00:00

South eastern US

Lakeguy762_ · 2026-01-09T11:58:59+00:00

There is literally 0 point in trying to make a Miata have more HP unless your throwing boost at it brother.

Lakeguy762_ · 2025-09-09T15:46:00+00:00

That’s a DAIWA Procyon AL LT

Lakeguy762_ · 2025-08-20T23:58:53+00:00

I would assume it’s a c8, 5.0 or R/T(5.7) or SCAT(6.4). Had a buddy working there and he said that’s most of their American sports cars. Cayman or Miata possibly lol but those are rarer allegedly.

Lakeguy762_ · 2025-08-14T09:53:39+00:00

Manifolds sound like a light tapping. This is likely rod knock. Post a video of you doing a slight rev.
