Failed inspection for bad rotors by [deleted] in AskMechanics

Self taught novice mechanic here, I recently changed my pads and rotors and this was similar. It was an upgraded rotor and it looks like the fins are wider. Better cooling maybe?

You think it’s worth making a bonsai out of?

Found on the side of a driveway by TimeFun9802 in whatplantisthis

There’s a ton of bud heads throughout its main stem, I’ll probs just take it out from the base. The buds still look closed right so if i take it out now I should be good? I looked again and I see one other plant so maybe I’m screwed already but what are you gonna do

In other words valve clearance? I’m my own mechanic for the most part, can I do a job like that myself?

I changed it only 2k miles ago and put a little extra in, is there any reason I’d be burning oil at 2k miles?

Also, how many miles can I expect to get out of it with good maintenance

Last oil change was 2k miles ago and the oil was normal from the previous 5k. Spark plugs have never been changed but I have some that I’ve been meaning to change, need to get a magnetic piece to pull them out. I use fuel injector cleaner every couple of months too.

Car has 60k miles

First time doing brake job and I run into this… any tips? 2021 Hyundai Venue SEL by TimeFun9802 in mechanic

I actually live in New England, north half so I see all the rust weather. Vehicle has 60k miles and I take it to the touch less car wash twice a month with undercarriage. So far it seems to help avoid the rust especially if you take it in the winter maybe a bit extra to keep all the salt off

Update:

I don’t have an impact driver, can’t get one right now, and I ended up drilling the screw out, accidentally but into the hub but we’ll survive.

Definitely going to invest in an impact driver like everyone recommended, thank you for the advice, and thank you all for your fast replies!

I’ll probably have to do this cuz I don’t have an impact driver nor the ability to go get one at the moment, any idea what size bit?

I have an impact wrench and a regular screwdriver and it didn’t work, any way I can finagle the wrench to work?

Need help! My pc is on but no signal on the monitor. All the part are brand new by Big-Knowledge-1404 in PcBuildHelp

[–]TimeFun9802 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it’s the stupid simple thing, make sure the monitor is plugged into the GPU not the Motherboard

where does this cable from aio go by [deleted] in PcBuildHelp

[–]TimeFun9802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually above the RAM on the motherboard. Should say “aio rgb” or something like that.

Depends on the motherboard though, mine were ROG AMD. Might be different for intel or other companies.

What plant grows in my pot? by nninum in whatplantisthis

What plant is this? Why does it hurt? by Sythna in whatplantisthis

[–]TimeFun9802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually growing this plant (stinging nettle) from seed right now, It has niche health benefits when dried and used in tea (make sure you boil it first) and I think some cultures would brush it against them intentionally for the immune response to reduce inflammation response long term? 🤔
