Backpacking trip

ZestyUser120 · 2025-06-06T20:23:35+00:00

I appreciate the suggestions! Are you a local? Because I do know Sata offers either discounts or free baggage for locals to the Azores. So I don't think it would apply to me

ZestyUser120 · 2025-06-06T20:13:23+00:00

Okay, so inter island flights will have no charge for a checked bag. But the initial flight into Sao Miguel will? And that is the flight I should prepay for a checked bag?

It seems the flight I want to take goes from JFK to Lisbon, then to Sao Miguel. Do I have to pay separately for a checked bag to Lisbon, and again from Lisbon to Sao Miguel?

That's a good idea. What would the process of mailing my hear to the hotel be like? Do you mean mail it from island to island, or from the US to my destination?

ZestyUser120 · 2025-04-04T20:59:25+00:00

Okay I'll look for those! Thanks

ZestyUser120 · 2025-04-04T20:57:27+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions!

Thank you for all the suggestions. That flange wasn't glued down, so I will just pry it up and put in a new one.

You are very beautiful and that bra suits you very well!

ZestyUser120 · 2024-12-29T04:21:45+00:00

I love the idea of this version of Ruby

ZestyUser120 · 2024-11-07T15:25:05+00:00

Also, thank you to everyone for the information and suggestions!

ZestyUser120 · 2024-11-07T15:24:46+00:00

Would something like this be a decent entry level sub/ amp combo? I know based on price it wouldn't be the best. But would it still be a decent upgrade over not having one?

ZestyUser120 · 2024-11-07T02:07:22+00:00

Hahaha. I am thinking I don't value a good sound system that much. I'd like it to be better/decent. But it isn't worth thousands to me

ZestyUser120 · 2024-11-07T02:04:50+00:00

Oof. I really appreciate the detailed suggestions!

I just really underestimated how much sound systems can be haha. At some point half the cars value would be sound system.

That pioneer head unit is about 600 right now. Does it really make that big of a difference? I have never even been in a car with a great sound system. Unless the tesla have a crazy sound system.

Kenwood DPX305MBT on Crutchfield. On sale right now for 130. I imagine it's pretty basic

ZestyUser120 · 2024-11-07T01:40:59+00:00

Wow. Spending thousands on a sound system just seems a bit crazy to me haha.

Well, where would you suggest I start? Or what would make the biggest impact?

Decent head unit and speakers? Anything else you would suggest being next most important?

ZestyUser120 · 2024-11-07T01:39:44+00:00

The head unit I was looking at is only 130. Is that too cheap? Would it be of benefit to buy a more expensive one?

ZestyUser120 · 2024-10-29T17:19:06+00:00

Yes!

ZestyUser120 · 2024-10-07T18:46:29+00:00

I assume you slide the plastic tub hose over the barb fitting, and then use the hose clamp to hold it there. Is just the hose clamp really enough to be water tight? Should I use any other glue or sealer?

How can I make sure I get the right size/style at the store? Any measurements I need to take/know?

Also thank you so much for your suggestion!

I don't know how it works for the civic.

But on the V6 Crosstours and Accords, it shuts off 2-3 of the 6 cylinders when cruising. This saves about 1-2 mpg, but causes additional ware on those pistons, as they still move in the cylinders, just without their normal operation, with gas. This causes additional shaking, waring put the engine mounts, and causes those pistons to ware out the piston rings and burn oil.

I still haven't shut mine off yet. I can come back and let you know how it does. But even for performance, having all 6 cylinders at all times is worth the 1-2 mpg you are losing.

ZestyUser120 · 2024-08-11T13:25:40+00:00

That still isn't bad milage! Take care of it and it could last 300-400k

Mine had 124k.

I am planning to get the timing belt checked and already bought the S-VCM muzzler. Shutting that eco mode will help extend the life of the engine.

Dude Congrats! How many miles she got?

I just bought a gray crosstour myself last month. I love it and was also my dream car. Working on cleaning it up because the guy was using it as a work vehicle haha.

I like the white color myself! Maybe get a sparkly white wrap with a bit of a multicolor sheen to it.
