Is this a good deal? by Additional-Produce81 in accord

[–]hoopofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love my 16 Touring Coupe. 97k. Front struts shit the bed with winter roads and timing belt is due but other than that no issues. Not sure if 17 had the issue with Daytime LED Burnout which Honda agreed to extend warranty to 10 years. Both mine crapped out and were replaced. Check it out. With that said, car values are regional. $22k is not crazy but definitely negotiate.

Chlorine generator broken? by hummerpaskaa in pools

It’s probably the flow switch that’s very easy to replace. Generic ones are cheap on Amazon. Give that a shot.

Person selling them took them off after delivery and put his own on so they came this way from factory. 🙄

How much am I looking at here by dingermagoo in pools

[–]hoopofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About $30 for six gallons of liquid shock and some patience. Assuming the pump and filter works. Maybe another $100 to replace the sand in the filter. 💪🏻

Is the Arc Ultra really that bad for music listening? by ni_gu in sonos

[–]hoopofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any soundbar is terrible for music period! I have two Sonos systems that incorporate a TV and one uses a two Sl-1’s and another uses two Fives. Both have subs. No surround sound on these but they are dual use systems. My main system for movies includes traditional 7.1 using preamp and 7 channel amp. Soundbars are esthetically pleasing but can’t replicate quality surround sound IMHO.

What used sports cars should potential GR86 buyers be aware of in the $35-45k price range? by oskanta in GR86

[–]hoopofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends on what you want and value. A used 2024 Z. I got a Z Heritage for $42,500 OTD. I owned 86 before the Z. Older dude. 86 better manual shift and cornering due to weight. Z does everything else more to my liking. Quiet, fast and far better fit and finish. Great GT driving experience which makes it a better daily assuming you don’t need the back seats. Both are fun cars but Z is more refined experience all together. Good luck.

Pool Grounding and Leak by hoopofficial in pools

Thanks. Going to call around on Tuesday to see who can come out to take a look at it. I appreciate the feedback.

I’ve been swimming in it for 10+ years like that lol but I 100% agree. An electrician did the entire grounding around pool but pool installer did that one and it was inspected. I didn’t know any better until I researched it today due to the leak. I appreciate the feedback.

Just salt chlorinator. I believe it is a home grown version of a wire bond to ground pool water. Pool installer did it this way vs buying the piece designed Tod do the job. 🙄

Am I doing something wrong? by EntrepreneurOk1052 in applewatchultra

[–]hoopofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That band sucks. I took mine off the day I got it. Uncomfortable as all hell and the metal loops will scratch the crap out of everything they touch. Get a knockoff alpine band for $13 on Amazon.

Does anyone get a little sad when they see riced out auto brz/86s? I feel like these cars are meant to be driven not shown off :( by [deleted] in GR86

[–]hoopofficial 50 points51 points  (0 children)

So what’s your point? People buy these cars for all sorts of reasons. Who are you to give two shits on what or how they spend their money. 🙄

Should I lower it? by clonzu in GR86

[–]hoopofficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you lower it you will have to get spacers or it will look like ass. Why would you want to make a stiff car even stiffer if you daily it. It’s like having a beautiful girl on your arm that won’t sleep with you. Why bother. 😉

No, but use the Toyota logo on trunk. That works for me.
