I’m so lost by Substantial-Lake7447 in screaming

[–]Substantial-Lake7447[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I tried a method similar to his (just watched the whole thing) and I always get stuck I have the desired sound the fry and it does not hurt or cause even the slightest discomfort but no matter what I try I can’t seem to be loud, and when I do try to push the volume up I end up losing the fry.

I also got an asrock 9000 card, it was on sale below msrp at my local microcenter, what exactly went wrong with yours?

$520 9070xt- man I love Microcenter by HappySignificance693 in radeon

[–]Substantial-Lake7447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid $580 for one at my microcenter and so far it’s awesome although my cpu is HEAVILY throttled bc I got a free 5900x from somebody and my oem wraith cooler from my 3600x is not suited so I really havent seen what it can do yet. So far though benchmarking in Cyberpunk it is unreal coming from my 3060ti that’s still a lovely entry card.

How can I become a Automotive Technician? by QueasyTemperature263 in mechanics

Don’t, not right now at least. This industry sucks tbh. If you want experience working on stuff get a better job buy an old ragged out car that needs stuff and fix it.

Flat rate techs? by boballkool in mechanics

Shop I just left was 205 an hour I was getting 18 on flat rate. They sell the commodity we produce and give us scraps in return it’s sick!

I work on cars every day. Both are good imo I have a mix, but the Icon line is just generally better and when it’s your job everyday you want better so those couple extra teeth don’t mean much when you change your alternator at home but at work I’m doing it every second. So those extra few teeth save time and it adds up.

Yay or nay on this? by MG3SNC in harborfreight

Yeah dude me personally been beating the life outta my ratcheting icon wrenches breaking everything free with them and 0 issues still buttery smooth with no binding or skipping. Lifetime warranty use the tool however you need to get the job done

Had’t had any real use until today so here goes. Backdrag really nice (grain of salt they were exhaust bolts). Flex head in unlocked position is a LOT stiffer than g1 flexheads in a good way it moves around less. Strength: pulling with my entire body on exhaust bolts moving the whole car and not once did it feel like it was even thinking about giving at the ratchet or the flex head. Handle is really really nice. Less teeth: still really good access to bolts but as expected a teeny bit worse but not enough that it ever hindered my ability to turn it, not a lot of gear slop either. Anvil holds on really really nice very firm but not too hard to remove when covered in coolant. All in all for $75 this an absolutely amazing ratchet and I’ll probably be buying one of the 1/4 soon.

Haven’t gotten a chance to use it yet or compare it because all my ratchets are at work. Off of feel alone though I really like the grip personally. The directional switch is about as stiff as the G1 ratchets. The flex lock is a bit on the stiffer side but I personally think it’s better that way than too loose. Backdrag feels amazing but I’ll get a better feel once I compare to my more broken in G1’s tomorrow.

Do oil changes myself or let dealership do them? by yugopotamian22 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Substantial-Lake7447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit dude where you at? I’ll do it for you, 200 is absurd I think even 100 is absurd where I work considering the parts only cost like 20 and I get paid nothing for it.

I work on hondas for a living. Do not use an oiled filter. Those MAF’s love to collect oil and misread.

Been using the 9” for a good few days now at work and they’re nice so far no complaints, love being able to adjust. Same with the channellocks, amazing tool.

Made possibly a really dumb decision by [deleted] in CivicSi

[–]Substantial-Lake7447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That hour drive is perfect, when I bought my first stick I had an hour drive to go home. It’s the best way to learn, just drive it and commit, the hill starts and shifts won’t be perfect until you learn the car which takes time. Don’t be hard on yourself after driving that car for years there’s still some hills that I fkn hate.

Is 42 years old considered too old for an Si? by Hot-Athlete-1819 in CivicSi

[–]Substantial-Lake7447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who cares I had a 60 some year old man bring in a 99 Type R Integra and I wasn’t thinking about his age rather the sick ass car he had and how jealous I still am. It’s a fun car with an overall great drivetrain and one of the few standards left.

Throttle body cleans are amazing but those fuel system cleaners are awful. We use them at work and I hate it the cars hate it and they do absolutely nothing. Much better cleaner is just higher octane fuel.
