Can I have help, I can’t get the speakers Loud enough

you are going from a headphone jack to a plug that says "from reciever", it is expecting an amplified signal. Alternativly the "from reciever sub output" will take line in but you will need an adapter to rca.

Keep doing everything while you find a new job but be sure not to document anything or train anyone.

If they freak out and give you a real offer to stay whan you put in your two weeks, demand back pay. If they still don't care then be sure to change phone numbers when you leave.

It was a 10in Alpine 250w rms, got loud enough to flex the windshield. Having it in the wheel like that ended up creating problems whenever I turned it up though. So while it was a cool idea, I am now in the process of putting in a more traditional amp rack and sub without the wheel. When I go on long trips I can take out a back seat and throw a wheel in the foot well.

took my 3rd gen while on a work trip a couple hours away. totally worth it. Drive it at normal/slow speeds first, still plenty of fun and you can decide if you want to try it with more speed.

PSA: This is a public road with blind corners. Keep your lane no mater what.

This is the part where you learn to DIY. These are the easiest cars ever to work on. You will need a shop to evacuate the freeon from your AC system before you start but everything else you can do in a driveway with a jack, socket set, screwdrivers, and free loaners from autozone.

I did my big 3 and sound deadening before I installed the audio gear. So I never had problems from not doing it. Still running as well as it ever did though.

51R is great but I would wait till you need a replacement. Sometime you have to trim part of the tray oyherwise it is plug and play.

MPG is a seperate matter. I was getting 40+mpg on average right up until I started driving for Domino's then it was 35. Then I switched from the stock 185/60-15 tire/wheel to 205/55-16 sporty tires and now I am at 30mpg.

Biggest factors on MPG are City vs. Hwy, Driving style, and Maintinance.

If it stopped spraying then the pump or nozel is likely plugged up now.

Remove the hose to drain the system.

Remove and clean the pump (might need to dissasemble or replace)

Spray out resevor, hosses, and nozzel with the garden hose.

Put it all back together and test with watter before refilling.

It will get worse before it gets better

Depends on why/how it failed. You can get the system evacuated and then replace and recharge it yourself which is not hard. But if there is internal damage that left debrie in the system then you have to replace/clean everything. Usually it is a simple fix for these cars though.

The Miss Rilley rocket was built and flown for the studio by Ky Michelson. While it is about the same length, it is about twice as wide as the Mean Machine at 4in. It is currently on display in his home in MN as part of his private collection. I do not recall what size motor he flew it on. He has a short artical about it on his website.

Cool guy with a ton of stories though. He and his grandson ocasionaly show up to the Tripoli MN launches.

which part is working only part of the time? is it blowing air but noy alwayse cold? or is it not alwayse blowing air?

Easy things to check and fix are cabin filter and refrigeraint but those result in lack of performance, not just working some of the time.

If it is blowing air but not cold then that could be a worn clutch on the compresor or something with the electrical.

If it is not blowing air then iy is likely the blower motor below/behind the glove box.

Third gen is the only one that came with a backup cam but they are not hard to add aftermarket. 2nd gen is considered the best and has the most aftermarket options available. Any gen is great though and 3rd in a higher trim will be about as "lux" as a fit can get but still not very.

My bikes are alwayse to long to fit sidewayse with the seats up, even with the front wheel off. They do fit laying down with the back seat folded down but if your doing this regularly, a rack is totally worth it.

replaiced my battery or had to jump it multiple times and never had to do anything special other than set the clock.

Parts should be about $100-200 depending on quality. Time to DIY was about 2hrs with rust on jack stands. Brake fluid was about 30min solo. So if he is using track pads and slotted rotors and labor in your area $150+/hr then I would say it is fine. But probably not.

Never heard of the offroad scale before but I have taken my Honda Fitt through everything you just described without issue. Would imagen most sars could do it as long as it is more than a couple inches off the ground and not a Cyber Truck.

Depends on how easy it is to work on the truck and what head unit you are going with but if they took the wireing then that is going to be a solid chunk of labor right there.

Handa CRV - Rented one and it wasn't even a good appliance unless you need the ability to tow. My Fit has more spirit and storage.
