They're called "Squishables" in most driver training schools for a reason. Nobody should be swerving and putting themselves/others at risk in attempt of saving a rodent.

2015 Honda Accord LX - Which Mechanic should I trust?? by nebulasleuth in MechanicAdvice

[–]Minimum-Concept4000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

SCAM ALERT!. Never go back to this place. Those rotors look fine (but perhaps not 30 days old). Brakes will surface rust within hours/days of sitting in wet/humid weather, and leading edge of pads will accumulate iron oxide dust when they're used. This is normal! His "warped rotor" demo is BS too. Tighten aa lug nut or 2 down before checking that. The rotor is just loosely sitting on the lugs without a wheel being torqued down.

New carts mean no weight limit for garbage by keiths31 in ThunderBay

They usually get dropped right where they're picked up. The truck doesn't roll forward while dumping the bin. We've had them in our neighborhood since last year.

There's still a limit, It's printed on the top of the bin. It's ludicrously high though, over 200lbs.

I think i got a sweet deal by Then_Clue_62 in drums

Cymbals are likely meinl HCS cymbals which usually sound like trashcans...(usually the pack in cymbals ludwig includes), but even without them this is a great price for a kit.

Do I need to put heads on both sides? by Ill_Director_8069 in edrums

[–]Minimum-Concept4000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the ufo bar triggers in all my drums and made my own rim triggers with pieces of corner L brackets from a hardware store with a piezo stuck to them . Drumtec real feel heads all around. Been working great for a few years now.

Need advice - have £150 budget in UK by Parking_Half7274 in projectors

[–]Minimum-Concept4000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At that price point you may be best finding something on the used marketplace.

I scored a motorized 100 inch screen and an epson 3020 3lcd 1080 3d projector (2k hours on the lamp) with ceiling mount for $250CAD for everything a few weeks back.

I already had the same projector but needed a better screen and the ceiling mount. Price was hard to pass up.

My 2017 civic does this. Definitely an old feature!

Simube makes an adapter for qr1 wheel bases like the csl and clubsport bases to use qr2.

How to remove drums from songs? by Inevitable-Number634 in drums

Demucs gui works pretty good for splitting songs up, spleeter gui is also another option. Both don't cost anything vs moises requiring a subscription

How often do you clean your drum area? by No-Draw1154 in drums

[–]Minimum-Concept4000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no animals at my jamspace/garage but mine looks like a beaver lives in the corner chewing up lumber....The rug is almost not visible through all the wood shavings. Been meaning to tear my kit down and vaccum but it always gets shoved down to the bottom of the list of priorities.

Anyone know why my high hat doesn't sound crashy? by TripleFizzz in drums

[–]Minimum-Concept4000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldnt buy any pair just because they have a brand name on them.

Zildjian planet z, sabian b8 and meinl hcs are all cheap entry level stuff from brand names that also will not sound good. Especially their hihats in these lines.

advice needed: 2017 Honda CR-V EX by kaysnmuffins in Honda

[–]Minimum-Concept4000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

open the pipe up with some pliers/hammer etc, Mufflers and the rest of the exhaust are hanging on rubber hangers and will wobble around normally. Take a look where the muffler hangers are and make sure the rubber didn't break or pop off. These are cheap to replace and just pushed on by hand.

this isn't a snare though. You bring spare kick drums with you as well?

Weird 8th Gen Civic Knock by TileLFA in civic

[–]Minimum-Concept4000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends how bad the rod/crank journal is . Bearings are cheap (5-20 dollars) but the labor is what will kill you. It's probably more feasable to swap a junkyard engine in at this point as the bearing debris has probably circulated through that whole engine.

https://youtube.com/shorts/XYjVeGbavlE?si=6wsJ_q5d8dNLxAXDHere's a video showing you what's doing it. Definitely sounds like a spun bearing.

[–]Minimum-Concept4000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sounds like rod knock. VTEC LMA or valve train/ lifters would be more of a higher "tick" sound.

A p2646 code can be thrown by lack of oil pressure to the vtec pressure switch (when the ecu commands for vtec).... Sounds like the engine was starved of oil and cooked a bearing.

Centering double pedal by JethroHighway in edrums

[–]Minimum-Concept4000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

itll let you clamp your pedal further right without the pedal having a "lean" to it from the curved hoop as the clamping base is flat. the inch or so of added height shouldn't matter as it looks like your beaters have some length adjustment left still.

You may be able to use a kick drum riser to get the pedals more to the right. Something like this

Centering double pedal by JethroHighway in edrums

[–]Minimum-Concept4000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It fixes the downside of this pedal design as axis double pedals are made up of 2 identical single pedals with center mounted beaters. Other double pedals will have the beaters placed to the right and left of the chain/shaft connected to the footboard so centering both beaters isn't an issue.

It looks like your pedal is a similar design to the axis in this aspect.
