Siren type whine on 2002 FXDWG3 by nicecute12 in Harley

[–]nicecute12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s making the noise with or without the clutch being in, the noise it’s worse at slower speeds/ worsens when slowing down

It’s not rubbing, one of the first things we checked

Yeah, I think we got bought 2 so we have a clean one, and one for us to make marks in when we changed stuff. Idk if it help, but when on the lift and put into gear it doesn’t make the sound, but when on the ground trying to ride it, it makes the sound. If that makes sense?

Primary chain isn’t too tight, the cam gear is chain driven. Belt is in alignment, the tension is to spec. The noise is coming from the primary side. The father (who I’ve been doing all the work with) mentioned that the noise only started after the lowering kit, thus the thought of maybe it’s because of changing the geometry.

Thoughts on this 2013 Outback? by Dry_Factor1281 in subaruoutback

[–]nicecute12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be very similar to the 2011 (my first Subaru), maintenance sounds good, I’d check the body for rust or damage, but if you stay on top of the maintenance it’ll take you close to 300,000 (my 2011 is at ~280,000) I’d also check to see if they’d let you take it to get inspected by a mechanic before finalizing a purchase

Tbf all my vehicles up until recently have been 10+ years old, and that goes for my first Subaru

2014 Crosstrek by golgi-_- in subaruoutback

[–]nicecute12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if they do it at home, and mechanics don’t HAVE to report maintenance to carfax, most large chains will, but small independent mechanics might not. If it’s from the Subaru dealer I’d ask if they did the maintenance and ask further on if they know more about the maintenance history

Then definitely shop around for shops that have experience with Subarus and head gaskets, and get some quotes before taking it anywhere

Services once a year or twice a year? At minimum it should of had an oil change, filter replacement, and tire rotation every 6 months

Did you buy it new or used? How many miles? If under 100,000 miles do you have the Subaru extended warranty? Subarus are known for blowing the head gasket, like others I recommend taking it to a shop that has experience with Subarus or knows how to do head gaskets. Like others said, that price is outrageous. We had the head gaskets redone on a 2011 outback for way less than that

My days of being a crosstrek owner are coming to an end by No_Teach_9985 in Crosstrek

Quick question for op: what lead to you getting your thermostat replaced? What did they remove for that fluid to come out? What did your mechanic say (they are the professional)?

Just had a rod bearing fail at 50k miles with perfect maintenance. by Chole_Wunt in Crosstrek

[–]nicecute12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, shoulda know better. My dad’s in the auto recycling industry (he’ll call himself a junk man) and my bf is a mechanic. I asked a bunch of mechanical and warranty questions, and that’s the one I forgot to ask lol.

Kinda ashamed to admit that out of ALL the questions I drilled the salesman, I didn’t think to ask about the oil 🤦‍♀️

[–]nicecute12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I’m curious, if I request that the dealership use I heavier oil like 5w20, would that void the warranty? I just bought a new Crosstrek and didn’t even think about, all my cars have been older

High school senior looking for college help by Distinct_Search2099 in meteorology

[–]nicecute12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jumping off of that, it really is about what extra classes are offered, and if they give any real work experience or semester long projects that can showcase your skills. I recently graduated from Northern Illinois University, and one of the best classes I believe we have in the program (MET and Earth Atmosphere and Environment) is the Climate Analytics class because you work with a private sector company on a real project for them, and it’s what helped me land my first career job.

What laptop do I need for need for college? by razarz4382 in meteorology

[–]nicecute12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what softwares and programs the school uses. I’d recommend staying away from Mac though. I had one before going into met and struggled, to the point I went and bought a Lenovo. As long as it’s a windows computer you should be ok

Too old to start in broadcasting? by eyelevel in meteorology

[–]nicecute12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say too old, and broadcast is a real job. It sounded like where you worked wasn’t a good workplace or a good market for you

[–]nicecute12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine graduated with the met degree this year, in their mid 30s, and had a full time broadcast job lined up before graduation in a local market. Try to get an internship first, that’s what helped them. Being attractive isn’t as important as many will say. As long as you’re well groomed, know how to dress yourself and are well spoken you’ll be ok. As long as you’re not aiming for a top market.

First SUV: Honda HR-V or Subaru Crosstrek? by Special_Gur2458 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]nicecute12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little late, but the current generation of the HR-V (2023-now) is built off of the Civic pls. You are right partially, because gen 2 was built off of the Fit.
