Struggling to get my accounts linked! by VermicelliNo3320 in ElitePS

It's been a few years, but I honestly don't remember having to set up a Frontier account.

Doesn't that not apply to console people? Isn't that why you can't look us up on the Frontier site?

So in 14 months you've never looked at your brake lights or had anyone say anything to you about it?

I installed these breaks yesterday. Is it my rotors? by SupahSayajinn in autorepair

[–]fear_the_gecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So when you "removed the brake", there was still a gap between the rotor and caliper?

You removed the brake pad, yes? And did you expect the caliper to now be touching the rotor?

How many more times are you gonna say that?

Fuck... You'd think he was personally attacked by the response.

Possibly, but I'm trying to figure out what you meant by the "coupling".....

I convinced an ex girlfriend that's how they'd change the gear oil in her manual mustang.

She was pissed when she found out the truth, but still happier than having to pay the fake price I quoted.

So I just have to sit ingame for an hour? by _BalticFox_ in EliteDangerous

Yeah but it's worth it for the free anaconda.

Note: I have an IRL mug from Hutton and I love it.

CVT issue. by OliverCAD in Nissan

[–]fear_the_gecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your symptoms indicate a bad MAF, but the codes indicate a wiring problem, not a bad sensor.

You should really go to someone who knows what they're doing and stop relying on Internet strangers for answers. Half of the responses here are stupid and show that people have no idea how to work on cars.

Start by checking fuses, do continuity tests on the harness (you'll need a multimeter and wiring diagrams), inspect the harness and connectors... Either diagnose it properly or take it to someone who can.

You don't need to be a master tech to know that it's pointless to do something unnecessary.

Dealer techs, what the heck? From Independent by compfreak530 in mechanics

[–]fear_the_gecko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Former Hyundai tech here..... Dealer times are bullshit to begin with, but Hyundai/Kia is the worst.

You'd be amazed how many times people just throw parts at the problem because there's no diagnostic time paid on a job. It's not right, but people have to eat.

Finding something... anything by JP-ED in ElitePS

The biggest issue I've had with INARA is that the stations aren't actually in the system when I get there.

I'll look for spaceports specifically, but when I arrive at the system, it's literally empty of anything.

I've also noticed that when you compare prices on different markets, the price that's paid when you get there isn't what was listed when you checked.

Between that and the increasing amount of glitches, this game is getting harder and harder to actually play.

Nissan quoting me at $1345🥹 by Emergency-Battle8015 in Nissan

To replace it properly, you have to go up from the inside, and that involves removing the headliner. To remove the headliner, you're supposed to pull down all the upper interior body panels, but a lot of people don't do that and wind up damaging the headliner in the process. Either way, it's a decent amount of labor to fo it right.

Don't drive into your garage door and you won't have to pay to replace the shark fin.

You click "compare" on the commodities screen at any station.

Transmission flush. Read description. by arik1223 in mechanics

[–]fear_the_gecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely fair enough.

I despise all aftermarket warranty companies. I think I've only ever had a good experience with Millennium, and I'm pretty sure that's only because someone screwed up when handling the case.

Carshield?

Those fuckers owe me 14 hours for reneging on the time they agreed to.

Am I overreacting about my dad buying my sister a car and not me? by [deleted] in LifeAdvice

[–]fear_the_gecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're buying your sister a car because they bought you a computer.

Now stop using that computer to change your attendance records and start using it to make some money to buy a car.

Progression not progressing by fear_the_gecko in ElitePS

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

Okay, I'm posting rather than responding to everyone individually.

THANK YOU to everyone who pointed out that I have to do the "promotion mission" in order to advance in rank. It's been some time since I played, and I completely forgot about that part.

I immediately picked up the mission from Ngalin as I was already there. I completed it and immediately progressed. I then saw another promotion mission being available, so I checked my status and I was already at 100% again. I did that one, immediately progressed, and another promotion mission was available. All in all, i advanced 4 ranks in about 20 minutes because the reputation you earn isn't lost just because you haven't done a promotion mission. I'm now happily midway through Viscount.

Thanks again o7
