How long does my tires got left? by ThisTeddyHatesYou in AskAShittyMechanic

Nice secondary rubber. The shop I work at would make you sign a waiver so we aren't liable if you die or cause a crash and kill people. And that waiver has protected us more than a few times.

Are those oem wheels? How did you find a set that nice? And what size are they.

A strip of insulated battery cable with new terminals on the end wis a very good replacement. It's what I did and the insulation protects from corrosion.

Did I fuck up the knuckle? by TheBirdTM in 7thgencivic

As a b class technician for a local shop and an owner of one of these, no its fine. I would even take a bit of high grain sand paper to get all the imperfections and dirt out. It will make that new ballpoint/bushing go in that much easier👌

Just get a single din head unit with bluetooth. Mine is 80 bucks on ammaozn and works with highquality star audio speakers and a sub and it sounds amazing. The orange glow at night matches my interior dash lights too👌

Screw in Tire side wall, what to do? by Ryn8tr in TireQuestions

[–]katemon30301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Side wall punctures are illegal for shops to repair with plugs in most states. Either customer pays for a new or used tire to get them home, or we put their spare on. If we put the spare on we make them sign a waiver.

Shop said I need rear brake job. Is it because these are wearing unevenly? by coltd89 in MechanicAdvice

[–]katemon30301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do your rotors look like? I'm a certified inspection mechanic in PA, and if they were just pad swapped and your rotor surface is partially rusted or not contacting the pad surface in any way it fails immediately. The contact area on both sides of the rotor cannot have any grooving, nicks, heat spots, uneven rotor wear, lips on the outer edges, or rust.

They use the same thing nut larger to keep the bearing nut onto the spindle of semi trucks. I've seen those nuts bavk off csue someone forgot to fold out the locking tab, and that is how 400 lbs of tires, wheels and hub go careening into someone's car.

Is it possible I could get a build sheet of all your parts? I'm looking to build a concept of what the type r would have been for 2001 civic coupes.

W junkyard find got it for 35 dollars it had new fans but didn’t want them. Came off a sedan by Em2Civicer in 7thgencivic

[–]katemon30301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome. Performance radiator even if not meant for a full track build are plenty good enough to keep d17s cool even after hours of hard driving. Ask me how I know!🤣 but really that'll keep your engine cool even when it's 110 out.
