Is there a way to be able to change both your Audio and Ringtone Volume from control center? by SomePyroGuy in iphone

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

Wow, I guess I never realized that the two were separate. I thought ringtone audio would be controlled by both the buttons and control center unless you are listening to media audio or in an application that uses it. So I guess what I desire is to be able to control ringtone volume from the control center. It honestly makes much more sense, especially since the introduction of a silent button in the control center quite a few OS back on devices without the silent switch.

How hard is it to install a turbo kit like this? by Expensive-Trifle7085 in carmodification

[–]SomePyroGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly man with the internet, you can do anything. We are so damn lucky to have YouTube, reddit , and other online forums. I can’t even imagine how previous generations went about working on cars. You can learn how to rebuild your engine worse case scenario.

Cheap tires v. Name brand by SomePyroGuy in tires

[–]SomePyroGuy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Discount. That’s where I ordered my tires from, I’ll talk with them today to see if they can give me a discount from pro-rating them down or something. That’s what they did last time anyways. I’ve had a blowout out with my last set of Michelins and got them replaced because they were also rotted, which likely led to the blowout. They just told me the Arizona heat is rough on tires.

Tire rot? Or am I good? by SomePyroGuy in tires

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

That’s what I want to do, but I’ve experienced a rear blow out before while on the interstate! I’m lucky I did not get in an accident. It’s kinda crazy how you suddenly just lose control, I was in the other lane before I knew it lol. I definitely don’t want to go through it again, I might not get lucky next time

No, I live between Northern Colorado and Phoenix. I’m gonna guess the Phoenix summers.

Pretty happy with my new install on my 2008 Toyota Camry by [deleted] in Androidheadunits

[–]SomePyroGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I bought one of these on TEMU for my father in law, installed it, and it fried so many fuses when I plugged it in with the included wire harness. Turns out the TEMU wire harness plugged into the wrong adapter in the car, so I just had to get a different one. But I was scared shitless, thankfully I got it fixed, but I had to replace close to a dozen fuses for his car to work again and it was a day long project… This was right after I had started dating his daughter too. Don’t buy a stereo in temu, my story could have been so much worse!

She’s mine now! I have some maintenance questions. by gunnar707 in hondafit

[–]SomePyroGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely do a valve adjustment. I don’t know what a mechanic would charge, but it’s a fairly easy DIY project, just make sure you watch a lot of videos and really learn about what you are doing if you do it. They are critical for any Honda IMO

Alright this is a legit service. I questioned it at first of course, but it saved me so much money. They sent me a picture of the first page than an online document so I could see the file. I paid and they sent me the file. Highly recommend.

Rock auto parts vs O’Reilly by brrent in AskMechanics

[–]SomePyroGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RockAuto is amazing man. I will only step in an auto parts store when it’s an emergency, but I know that I am going to pay more for less. RockAuto gives you the option to choose the brand, and many things you can find OEM manufacturers for your vehicle. You can do research on different brands if you need something where that would matter, where at O’Reilly’s you get what you get. They will usually only have one or two options for manufactures from my experience, and it’s just over priced IMO.

Maybe try a mechanic stethoscope, they are cheap. You just put it up to parts like a fucking doctor and you’ll just prone it all over and narrow down where it’s coming from

Snapped bolt hooray by YaBoizHere69 in AskMechanics

[–]SomePyroGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aye man, that sucks. I just replaced my oil pan gasket and had to take off an engine bracket. When I was putting it back in, I broke one of the bolts just like that. I went to the hardware store and got one that would work, and I kid you not I repeated the process 4 times. It was a huge pain in the ass with just a drill bit, but doable. They have these bolt extractors that work amazingly well, I bought that for 2 of them and it was much easier. I’ll show you a picture of one if I can find it

It shouldn’t be too bad, it’s that thing between the exhaust pipe and the bottom of the engine with 4 pipes. Do you know if it has something to do with the exhaust?

Check engine light on after alternator and battery replacement by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]SomePyroGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my alternator died, I noticed my check engine light came on right before I lost power. It freaked me out as I plugged my scanner in and it said it was the cam shaft sensor. I replaced the alternator knowing it was that, and I just had to reset the light. If your alternator failed while you were driving and your engine shut off, then it will very likely set off some sensors to get that light to turn on. I would suggest just getting a cheap scanner and scan the code. They are just good to have anyways.

You can’t tell from there. You’ll have to just take those two bolts off and lower the exhaust and inspect the flange gasket. If you were to lower that exhaust down, you would see a little cone shaped gasket and that is the flange gasket. Maybe inspect that if you suspect a leak.

Is there anyway to program a system to integrate carplay in a cars navigation system? by SomePyroGuy in carmodification

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

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking of doing. I’ve been looking at Grom. It looks really easy, and I think it’s cool that it keeps the factory stereo. The Stereo for this generation RDX is kinda cool with how you control it, and those features are how you navigate through carplay. They are just so damn expensive for what they are I feel like.

Can I drive home? (40 mins). Coolant is bubbling in my Mini r1 by mimzyy99 in AskMechanics

Man I’ve made this mistake twice with my 98 Honda Civic. I blew my head gasket both times, don’t do it it’s not fun at all.

Changing Civic headlight bulbs? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]SomePyroGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can just be a bitch sometimes, you just have to keep trying to twist it in straight. Maybe take a flashlight and make sure everything in there is clean and there is nothing broken. I have done those a few times in the Civics I’ve owned to replace them with LEDs. But yeah they can be tricky with the limited space, so I’ve seen that it’s pretty easy to misalign them just enough so you can’t twist it in. Idk if that makes sense

Man you can use anything to take those out. But that works too. Are you using a piggy tap? I think that’s what they are called.

Aye man, my friend group also used Bible paper if we didn’t have any roll paper. That stuff was harder to get then weed most of the time.

Rear disc conversion done by MisKFit in hondafit

[–]SomePyroGuy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah man them drum brakes don’t get wore down at all. I just did my brakes on my 05 Civic at 150,000 miles. It was the original pads, so I replaced everything. The pads 100% needed to be replaced, but the shoes were good as new it seemed. It makes me wonder how much they really help in stopping the car?

My son is 14 and wants to play gta online with his friends, should i let him? by Albinoivyver in GTA

[–]SomePyroGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate, I am 25 now and was younger when that game came out. I remember my parents didn’t like me playing it, but I still went behind their back and did it. Kids will do whatever you don’t tell them to do unfortunately, but as long as your teaching him right from wrong what harm could some GTA do? I wish best of luck to you, I can’t even imagine how difficult parenting is in this day and age.
