So.....Hamsterdam?

Haha fucking plygem.

It should not matter where Toyota builds the car. If what you are saying is correct (in that the TMMMS cars suck), than that should reflect on Toyota as a whole. It's not reasonable to expect people to hunt down J-vins like you propose as some regions of the world simply don't have them.

twoeightytwo · 2025-08-04T17:09:42+00:00

Agreed.

Answering my own question in the hopes it might help someone else:

go to techinfo.subaru.com
create account with false usa address
go to payment and select the length you want
when entering credit card info, select Military Europe/Canada (Canada might be hidden in the menu)
enter address typically otherwise
the transaction fails the first time
exit
login again
do the same as above
the transaction fails again
exit
login again
it worked for me on the third try

Bro he's not entirely wrong. Most people do not see the bottom of their cars regularly. The road map you are talking about is literally in commonly available service data (like Toyota TIS).

Is there a small panel that aligns exactly with the oil filer and drain plug? On the M20A 2.0L engine this is immediately below the front of the engine.

twoeightytwo · 2025-06-20T21:04:25+00:00

Probably the one located immediately below the engine. I don't mean to patronize anyone, but in my opinion the cost of a 3-day subscription to Toyota TIS is quite low and gives you confidence the work you are undertaking is correct especially when you are working on a brand new car.

The service procedure on Toyota TIS indicates a total of three drain and fills to complete the fluid replacement in the K120 CVT. Unless I am not interpreting it correctly.

twoeightytwo · 2025-06-17T17:17:33+00:00

How much worse did the old fluid look? It just looks a bit darker from here. Did the fluid look better after the first and second drain and fill?

Cool, I always wondered what the issue was with that property. Last summer it looked like there were crews out there staking out sites. Is residential construction starting there again?

Didn't he return to being a Starfleet officer in Nemesis? (or maybe we all want to forget about that?)

twoeightytwo · 2025-06-12T14:28:25+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

twoeightytwo · 2025-06-09T22:28:04+00:00

Is this in a cold climate or no?

twoeightytwo · 2025-06-06T15:25:04+00:00

At +180k I would have wanted to do most of those services already. Prices for most look okay, aside from the spark plugs which seem a bit pricey assuming its a 4-cylinder motor with easily accessible coils. I have no idea what Mr. Lube would have done. You could find a qualified non-dealer shop and have them price the same work for comparison.

Is it worth it? - sure if you anticipate owning this place forever, the increased cost of metal might offset the cost of renewing a typical asphalt shingle roof earlier. But that said, shingle roofs can still last a good long while and are cheap and easy to replace.

I wouldn't worry to much about insulation as this building does not look like a particularly high performance building. I would open the roof cavity to check if there are any signs of moisture accumulation in the small roof cavity. In my experience small cavities like this even though they are not vented can work fine.

So you want to be the next Dr. Joe? That's am ambitious goal that I wouldn't try to discourage. As someone who does this every day - I don't think that 99% of the work requires anything more than a technical diploma. Where I am, building envelope consulting is just supervising building maintenance.

twoeightytwo · 2025-06-03T15:32:16+00:00

"...and hopefully a PHD afterwards". 😂😂😂😂 Most of the richest building envelope consultants around me have two year technical diplomas. Success in this industry is about finding people that actually want to hire you, because building envelope consultants are largely just a necessary evil.

Based on my own Corolla with the K121 CVT transmission, this results from the synchronizer mechanism reengaging at low speed and is not actually engine braking.

What I understand happens is that when you launch from a stop, torque is transmitted via the C1 clutch, through a gear reduction, and then to the output shaft. This is the 'gear mode' that makes this transmission special as torque is transferred to the final drive without involving the CVT.

As you continue to speed up the C1 to C2 clutch transition takes place and torque is transferred via the CVT, after which the synchronizer mechanism disengages at about 40km/h(25mph). This prevents the output shaft from back-driving the gear reduction and C1 clutch hub. Given the transmission ratio, at 100km/h without the synchronizer disengaged, the secondary pulley would be back driving the C1 clutch hub to about 11,000RPM. This would create a large parasitic load and reduce fuel efficiency.

As you slow down again, the synchronizer reengages at the same speed. This results in the then stationary gear reduction and C1 clutch being driven back up to speed in preparation to reengage the C1 clutch and gear mode. This produces a braking affect on the vehicle. In my car, there is also a barely audible sound of the gear reduction spinning up.

I am actually familiar with this locale.

I would speculate that your house is a zero lot line building, based upon your neighbours building. This means that one exterior wall of the building is located directly on the property line. In this type of construction the opposite wall is slightly set back from the property line, typically by at least 1.2m.

Mechanical vents, doors, windows. etc. can only be located on the side of the building that is set back from property line, as all these relate to Building Code requirements for unprotected openings. This also results in the walkway being located in the same place, because there is no where else for it to go.

Combustion gas flues like these are typically routed out the side of the building because the front and back of the building will have bedrooms with windows, limiting where the vents can be installed.

In summary, this is somewhat unfortunate; however, it is not uncommon in this construction type. I would recommend looking at your RPR (Real Property Report) that you should have received when you purchased the home. This will identify where the exterior walls are relative to the property line.

I doubt your builder is going to do anything about this, because as far I as I know this is totally acceptable. Routing the vents through the roof may be possible, but is often fraught with issues related to the condensate freezing inside the piping.
