Motronic posted:I guess I didn't phrase it well, but that kinda is my point. It's already getting to the point that the "average" person can't really afford to buy something already existing. Building on your own is rarely ever cheaper than buying something that already exists unless you literally have the cash to just make it happen and also somehow know all the right contractors and GC on your own. And I guess don't have a job other than "be the GC for my house" for a year. Yep, bespoke building is for the rich, even out here in flyover country. To the point that even the stock builders are either running out bi-attached houses on postage stamps, or doing only rough-in on walkout lower levels to keep their numbers down enough that people can actually get a loan to buy.

The Honda dealer rips out the JIS bolts in the brake rotors in my partners car every time because they "round off" because they're using a Phillips head so I have to keep a bunch of bolts at home to replace them with. Also they believe in over torquing the hell out the lug nuts Edit: they go to the dealership because they can change out the oil for less than I can even buy the materials moist turtleneck fucked around with this message at 14:10 on Dec 26, 2022 |

moist turtleneck posted:The Honda dealer rips out the JIS bolts in the brake rotors in my partners car every time Those are assembly screws and serve no function other than ensuring that the rotors don't fall off inadvertently during the build process. What you describe is very common among dealers / mechanics since those POS screws seize like crazy and don't provide any meaningful function to the average mechanic. Source - 15 years of continuous Honda ownership and about that many brake jobs on Hondas.

drat, they always felt like they kept the rotor square when putting on the wheel One time they somehow torqued the wheel onto the rotor at an angle and wore the pads down super fast and I figured that was part of the problem

Not really the thread for it, but drive a stick shift and your brakes will magically last a lot longer. I took a Kia Soul to 120k miles on factory everything but tires, wipers, lamps and fluids. A clutch is cheaper to replace than an automatic/CVT.

What Cat Hatter said. I'm also struggling to come up with a scenario where a new rotor isn't on the hub square that doesn't involve an enormous amount of rust or a defective rotor. In either case you'd be experiencing an incredible amount of shuddering when you applied the brakes. Side note that good rotors are becoming really hard to source in our capitalist hellscape. I recently had two major failures of Centric premiums after less than 24 months. I had never seen an actually visibly warped rotor before then.

My husband and I both drive stick, but (A) aging knees and (B) harder and harder to find if you don't drive a sports car. For at least two decades, the stick model has been in the lowest trimline of any model of car we're interested in buying.

They were tearing through rotors every year or so and then I did changed the pads and rotors myself with Wagners and they've lasted 3 years with barely any wear But yeah I agree the dealership was doing something wacky, one time the rear wheel was making weird noises when making a turn and I looked back there when I got home and the wheel was holding on with a single loose lug nut. It was a few weeks later so I assume they finger tightened and forgot to torque that one wheel and took a while to work their way off. moist turtleneck fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Dec 26, 2022 |

I'm sure you do now, but always double check lug nuts, radiator caps, and oil plugs if you didn't do them yourself.

I didn't realize it was a thing! very cool. these were just a series of single loops (like staples). I'd never seen it before, despite being in an area with a lot of beaten-to-poo poo cars.
