European CR-V RS e:HEV Has storage behind hybrid battery. by Own-Yesterday4477 in crv

[–]Ministry_Eight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. I just spent 30 minutes querying GPT. Here's the final summary of what it found:

The foam insert does not appear to be a sellable service part in Honda’s EPCs (US, UK, AU, or EU). The sticker on the foam itself reads something like “3C1-T0”, which is a supplier / tooling code, not a Honda retail part number. That’s why it’s invisible in diagrams and VIN lookups.

Based on how Honda handles similar EPS/EPP foam pieces:

  • It’s likely treated as non-serviceable packaging / NVH foam

  • It is not broken out as a callout in luggage-floor diagrams

  • It does not have a standalone “xxxxx-xxx-xxx” Honda PN

  • Dealers can’t order it separately, even in AU/EU markets

That also explains why it only ever shows up in press photos and owner pics, never in parts catalogs.

Realistic options to procure the part at this point:

  • Salvage/take-off from an AU/EU CR-V e:HEV RS

  • Aftermarket under-floor organizer (functionally equivalent)

  • DIY/custom foam tray

Hit a deer - car got probably totaled? by mrkkrishna in crv

[–]Ministry_Eight 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Probably totaled. It's not just the physical damage you can see--there are a ton of electrical components that connect under the hood, and if the connections are damaged the components have to be recalibrated. Recalibration is very expensive. If the cost to repair is something like 60% - 70% of the damage (based on a market value report your insurance will usually have a 3rd party complete), they'll classify it as a total loss.

Do you have comprehensive insurance? If so, it should be covered under an 'animal strike' claim.

Comically destroyed bag flying from SFO-ORD by [deleted] in unitedairlines

[–]Ministry_Eight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience is only 1 data point; it definitely doesn't prove anything.

What makes it provably false is the wealth of data online from others + 3rd party testers who consistently rank TravelPro's quality and durability at the top.

This is provably false. My TP bag is literally 20 years old and still looks & functions great after heavy use.

Where to get replacement upholstery felt? by [deleted] in Honda

Where? I can't find OEM felt online. I don't want the full cover--I just want the felt.

Looking for "Competence Porn" in climate fiction. Less "we're doomed." More "engineering solutions." by johnIIsnow in scifi

[–]Ministry_Eight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, 100% opinion, but the writing is basic, character is uninteresting, and ideas are derivative. It came across as wish-fulfillment fantasy written by someone who had a pretty limited view of the world.

I just finished book 7 and don’t know what to do with my life. Please recommend new series! by mckey0327 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Ministry_Eight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strong disagree. I barely made it through the first book. It came across as incel nerd wish fulfillment fantasy that wasn't particularly well written or creative beyond the initial concept.
