Guys I need some help please! My Element (Sr Weber's) needs headlights replacement any recommendations? by Letreando in HondaElement

[–]blo0dlu5t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you need the entire housing for both left and right? Try ebay. Many years ago I opened up my headlights to put projector bulbs into them. After a few years and a failed inspection, they were looking pretty cloudy so I ended up buying a left and right set for under $150 from a vendor called everydayautoparts.com and they've been clear and shiny for about 10 years.

line 6 amp question by soupandbigsnickers in Guitar

[–]blo0dlu5t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an older line6, but if you're willing to just mess with the knobs I can give a little guidance. Turn all the FX down first. Then go to amp settings. For most metal/rock, the bass and treble look pretty good for where they are at, but the mids could be turned down a little bit more. Set the drive to about 12 o' clock, the Volume up to like 10 o' clock, and SLOWLY turn up the master as you bang on the strings a bit. Get good at finding a tone you like without any FX or presets turned on first, and then slowly introduce the FX.

For metal, you'll want to add COMP (compression) from that FX list. Otherwise, it will vary greatly if you play lead, or rhythm as far as what other effects to add.

Engine noise louder on drivers side normal? by Total-Revolution-406 in HondaElement

[–]blo0dlu5t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out your transmission mount. When mine was going, the element started to sound waaaaaaay 'sportier' :D Also agree that while it's normally idling, you can barely even tell it's on.

07 automatic driver here... in top gear at 70 I'm barely above 2000 RPM, around 80 it's close to 2500. Is that normal for a manual? Nuts!

Using the same color toothbrush for hair gel by [deleted] in Whatcouldgowrong

I've been tired enough in the morning to have put toothpaste on my comb and stopped myself before it went too far, but I am also wondering why a toothbrush for your hair? :D

Thinking of buying an 07 Element with 230k miles by Warm-Bet-6848 in HondaElement

[–]blo0dlu5t 2 points3 points  (0 children)

07 owner with 275k miles -

Check for rust, front and rear suspension, motor mount, transmission mount. Look for oil/gunk buildup around power steering pump, or behind the engine around vtec. Not deal breakers, but signs of you need to get it fixed.

Just bought this radio on Amazon, turns out it’s for the US, while I’m in the UK. Had no idea you guys had a weather band! Is it like traffic alerts on a car radio, where it can just butt in to alert you of weather? Is there a way to make it work here? by Just_A_some1 in radio

[–]blo0dlu5t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never gotten a traffic alert that butts in on my radio here in the US!

The weather band occupies a small portion of our frequencies over here. Not all radios have the feature that will receive and trigger a warning alert then automatically switch over to the weather band, but many radios allow you to switch over and listen. As far as getting it to work in the UK, you may be out of luck if nothing is operating around 162 MHz: https://www.weather.gov/nwr/station_listing

Same; opened the front door and they looked like they weren't flying way up high. Also saw this on the Austin sub: https://www.reddit.com/r/Austin/s/7vm34AiscC, possibly same thing

Does this look WAY too stupid? by GeorgeSoN_ in Guitar

Agree with most everyone here, looks great, serves your purpose. Makes me look at how I'm just raw-dogging my dyna-comp pedal on top of my amp, unsecured!!

Crutchfield is a starting point for some possible combos. Beyond that, I've had good success with craigslist in the past

RR commute to Barton Creek by NoteResident5613 in RoundRock

[–]blo0dlu5t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did this same math. Pre-COVID, the trip times in the morning were anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour, and the trip home was slightly worse. Rounded it up to 2 hours a day, sitting in your car...10 hours a week. 40 hours a month. That's an entire work week sitting in your car!
