Is it "Kupolen" in Borlänge. Fun fact Borlänge is known for being be the ugliest city in Sweden. https://www.expressen.se/allt-om-resor/resmal/europa/sverige/sveriges-fulaste-stad-framrostad/

[vocal mural]

Yes

The ugliest city, but one of best musical cities. Miss Li and Mando Diao is from Borlänge

@stoic ledge What do you think about this? https://youtube.com/shorts/v1IJQrX-ib0?feature=share

[civic spoke]

Overweight. And probably too wide.

[fathom socket]

maybe we need a food channel here?

[stoic ledge]

In this case, not smart.... But with a dedicated trailer, the proper signs etc not a bad idea 😛 Although that can only work on wide highways

[fathom socket]

would not this be oversized transport?

all trough laws are different in every country

[stoic ledge]

Usually yes, but idk what country this is

[bitter compass]

Is it Aldi Süd or Aldi Nord

[vocal mural]

[civic spoke]

I pay with my phone on Circle K.

It's actually not too bad.

[stoic ledge]

[vocal mural]

I normally tank at Tango (Q8), but I wanted to test it out by prepaying in phone with Apple Pay/Shell app

[stoic ledge]

I can't pay with my phone at the gas station I think

[civic spoke]

It's sort of neat. If you ask me.

And you get a digital receipt as well.

[stoic ledge]

Dude go away

Thanks Momo

[vocal mural]

You can, at Shell with their app

[civic spoke]

Appreciate it Momo.

[stoic ledge]

[stoic ledge]

Yeaaaaaah no

The Shell is like 30c more for everything than any other station

So no thnx

[civic spoke]

I'm really disliking that I have to use Shell to fuel up the truck.

[stoic ledge]

Literally the BP on the highway is cheaper than the local Shell

[civic spoke]

Any manned station is a bit more expensive than unmanned stations.

But it's also nice being able to use their facilities.

[fathom socket]

man

the car mechanic is trying to upsell me

they don't want to fix my 5th gear alone

because my 3rd one does not have synchro at all

[stoic ledge]

The BP at the highway is also manned

Dont think I've ever seen an unmanned station at the highway

[stoic ledge]

Wasn't it just that bolt or whatever?

[brittle totem]

Why use the shell app when you can just use samsung pay or Apple carplay directly ?

[fathom socket]

The 3rd gear was always broken

I just double clutch or rev match

or IDK if the double clutch actually works or I'm just revmatching by that time

[stoic ledge]

Followed each other until I got to my exit

[tropic mulch]

is your ND an RF?

[feral reef]

It is not, why?

[tropic mulch]

i'm going to be in the market for one soon and i'm debating if the rf is worth the extra cost

[feral reef]

I’d like an RF, but the RF really isn’t a convertible

It’s also heavier

From what I’ve been told the RF is almost like opening a sunroof

[tropic mulch]

the rf is still under 2500lbs

so i'm not too concerned about that

the rf is more likea t top from my undersanding

[feral reef]

Well yeah, but the engine isn’t exactly powerful

[feral reef]

Yeah pretty much

[tropic mulch]

the power to weight is better than my old nb miata and that should be enough, but i also have a tubro kit picked out if my butt dyno isn't satisfied

[feral reef]

Haha nice

[fathom socket]

[fathom socket]

I guess new gearbox time

It's cheaper than replacing the gear it self

[fathom socket]

Riding a bike almost 6 km ls up hill is killing me

[static jasper]

I too rode my bike today. 10.5 freedom miles, 17km

Sorry about your gearbox. Typically it is cheaper to replace the hole things. Usually, the labor to take them apart vs replacing the whole thing is much more than the labor to take one out and put one in whole.

[fathom socket]

I literally have no condition to ride up the hill.

[fathom socket]

You can pull out the gear, but finding the right part is going to be impossible here.

I have to go to Italy and find matching gearbox

[stoic ledge]

I see them for sale here used 160-260, or rebuilt 650

[civic spoke]

That second car came back.

[wispy cloak]

My audi has an active recall

From last year

It's a 1997...

Airbag recall

Probably Takata related

[ashen onyx]

@dusk ocean this is my current shitbox daily lmao

[dusk ocean]

ha wow that is quite the shitbox

I thought that was a dead pig next to it then I realized its a dog lol

[ashen onyx]

yes lmao, its been through 4 deer lmao. still runs and drives fine tho with 410k miles on it now.

current state of my truck

and the truck that will get dallied when the transmission is fixed

my forgotten project

And i have another car i cant find a picture of

o wait here it is

its got a blown motor

[civic spoke]

I'm getting my airbag recall done.

[wispy cloak]

I have to call the audi dealer to see if it applies to my car

Prodemand says that my car is affected but the nhtsa doesn't say that it is when I look up my vin

[civic spoke]

I gave them my license plate number. And instead of an E46 320i showing up. They just told me that I had a 740

[wispy cloak]

If audi wants to give me an rs4 or s4 that's fine by me

(Very equal trade)

[civic spoke]

I just have to figure out how to get myself to work and back on that Friday when I'm surrendering my car to BMW...

Getting home is less of an issue. Getting to the truck is the main issue.

I wonder if I should just take an Uber or something.

Ugh. About €40 for a fare.

[brittle totem]

I guess that it is the same recall that my brother got on in e46 330I 3 years ago. Did you get the recall now or have just waited for a while to do it ?

[civic spoke]

Known about it for years and years. Just taking care of it now. And letting them do an alignment while they are at it.

[brittle totem]

Try to convince them that you should get a loaner probably not possible but maybe it's an recall after all.

[civic spoke]

Always worth a shot to ask

[brittle totem]

I hope that your alignment isn't this bad. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMFr9QFh1/

A quick look at the dash cam record the boy definitely did fell to the cops leading questions.
He admitted something that even can't possibly happening lol.

And the cop happily get another performance bonus. (possibly)

And the dealer must be like "Wut what were you talking about"

[hoary pine]

BTW given the track record from some cops they will just make another excuse to issue a ticket.

Brod

I have questions

Firstly, is that jarred shrimp?

[bitter compass]

I love reading other germanic languages

[bitter compass]

I mean why not

What's the difference between a can of shrimp or a jar

[dusk ocean]

I would never consider purchasing either

I am not sure we can even get shrimp in a can/jar here

[vocal mural]

Where?

[dusk ocean]

US

[bitter compass]

I have seen canned shrimp

But its like fish its just kinda weird

[vocal mural]

There is everything possible

[dusk ocean]

I've seen dried shrimp at asian grocers

but canned/jarred is new to me

is jarred/canned shrimp common in sweden

[brittle totem]

Nope its just hand peeled shrimps.

[dusk ocean]

Right

is that popular in sweden/

[wheat hatch]

It is a pretty normal thing yeah

Popular? Probably

[dusk ocean]

What do you do with them?

[wheat hatch]

Food

[dusk ocean]

ya but how

just crack that jar open and go to town?

[wheat hatch]

No u make a dish with it

Two I can think of directly are 'smörgåstårta' and 'räkmacka'

Just google those two

'Skagentoast' is also a thing

[brittle totem]

Why shrimps are so good. Specially shrimp sandwich.

[dusk ocean]

I love shrimp but i buy out of seafood counter we don't have jars - that makes me feel.... uncertain

[stoic ledge]

Just eat meat

[wheat hatch]

We have that too, but sometimes it's just easier to grab a jar of hand peeled shrimp

And it's not even bad or anything

[wheat hatch]

Yes

[dusk ocean]

Listen if its the same/similar I am down

[brittle totem]

Yes its common here.

[dusk ocean]

I just have never seen a can or jar of peeled shrimp

we have frozen pre-peeled bags for like $25 USD

[wheat hatch]

Don't think that's a thing here

Frozen un-peeled however does exist here

But pre-peeled is from what I have seen, always in a jar/container with water

[dusk ocean]

is jar cheaper?

[wheat hatch]

Compared to?

[dusk ocean]

frozen

[wheat hatch]

More expensive I believe

It's considered a fresh produce, so should be more expensive

[dusk ocean]

interestiung

[wheat hatch]

Don't take my word for it though, I haven't bought those in a long time

Maybe @brittle totem or @civic spoke can chip in

[dusk ocean]

In the US things in cans/jar are GENERALLY considered lower preference

[wheat hatch]

I guess it's down to regulations and how long things are allowed to be stored and such

But generally from my experience, the ranking is always:

• Over the counter
• Jar/Container in the sea food section
• Frozen

[dusk ocean]

cool!

[brittle totem]

First one is peeled non frozen and 2nd one is frozen unpeeled.

[dusk ocean]

ok that aligns with us

whats "better"

[wheat hatch]

Between the frozen ones?

[dusk ocean]

can vs frozen

or jar

[wheat hatch]

Can/Jar 100% imo

[brittle totem]

Not sure we usually get the non frozen peeled ones in a can. Not sure how big of an difference there is between them.

[dusk ocean]

what dish might you make with them

[brittle totem]

Mostly "räkmacka"/Shrimp sandwich. #cars message

[dusk ocean]

oh ok - yeah that's not a US-cuisine. Anything cooked/warm?

[wheat hatch]

Soups I imagine

Wait, why are we talking about shrimps in a car channel

[dusk ocean]

LOL I forget

but I am going to make a swedish shrimp sandwich

[wheat hatch]

Go for it

It's good stuff

Sounds like a great idea especially if you like shrimps.

I should have my dad do this with his Mach E lmao

[dusk ocean]

Let's go!

Not a deal mustang

Real*

Or deal

[civic girder]

idk, I have yet to drive the Mach E

Seems like its no worse than a v6 mustang, besides the SUV part

My dad only bought one bc its pretty much one of the only actually decent EVs on the market rn

Regardless of how you feel about Ford or the Mach E's mustang name, its leagues ahead of Tesla in quality.

[deep zealot]

Thats not saying much because 95% of the market is ahead of Tesla in quality

[dusk ocean]

Having owned a number of Fords I cannot imagine the incompetence behind an EV service by them

[civic girder]

True. I bet even the Nissan leaf is better than Tesla

[dusk ocean]

My only main issue with Tesla is horrible body panel fit up in general water leaks

[deep zealot]

I have beef with the Mach-E because it ruins the Mustang name in a fundamental way

[civic girder]

Don't forget the Mach E powertrain is straight VW parts

[deep zealot]

and the GT is very very dissapointing

[dusk ocean]

You say that like it's a feature lol

[civic girder]

I mean, its not Ford parts

[dusk ocean]

Worse it's VW haha

[civic girder]

true

my limited experience with VW isn't very good

But from what I've seen and heard from my dad, it's good

[deep zealot]

BMW is the best german brand besides Porsche now

[dusk ocean]

I had a lot of experience years and years ago with Mark 3 and Mark 4 VW's involving twin Turbo s4s and such and it put such pain in me

[civic girder]

tbh I think it's just Porsche

[deep zealot]

Porsche has always been at the top but thats like, top tier stuff

For everyone else, there's BMW

[dusk ocean]

Eh

Porsche IMS bearing and conrods

[deep zealot]

Werent those fixed by 991

[dusk ocean]

Sort of?

Also 991 is like still unaffordable..so..

[civic girder]

Porsche understands how to make a car, particularly sports car.

BMW, VW, Audi, Merc, all they have made in recent times are overpriced mediocre cars. With BMW, Merc, and to some extent Audi costing an arm and a leg in maintenance and repairs

[deep zealot]

Yeah thats why Porsche has always been at the top when it comes to that sort of thing

[civic girder]

Like there's been some pretty solid higher end BMWs and stuff sure, but they're still so ridiculously expensive to own

[deep zealot]

BMW is still the proper driver's car, Audi is very comfortable and the most daily driver, and then Mercedes has been on their downsizing trend

[civic girder]

I haven't heard anything good about german cars (excluding Porsche) over the last few years

[deep zealot]

Theyre getting way better lol

BMWs are now reliable enough to be used in Toyotas

[civic girder]

I have beef with the Supra over that lol

[deep zealot]

Despite what anyone says the Supra mk5 is an amazing car

[civic girder]

but to be fair, at least it doesn't use Nissan parts

[deep zealot]

Nissan is a dissapointment

The new Z doesnt even have an LSD as standard

[civic girder]

Yea, I don't doubt that for a second. But I still suspect long term reliability to be iffy

[deep zealot]

It wont

[civic girder]

wait wait wait. This is the first I've heard of this

It doesn't surprise me, in fact I'm almost happy

[deep zealot]

Toyota themself have tested BMWs B58 all the way up to 700 hp

[civic girder]

Fucking Nissan lmao

the more I hear about them the more shitty and disappointing they become

on top of my personal experiences with Nissan products being beyond subpar

[deep zealot]

Ever since the CVT issues they’ve been just crap

A proper real CVT should be one like in the prius

No belts or any bullshit

[civic girder]

yea sounds about right. Excluding the GTR, I don't think Nissan has had a single decent product since the 90s

[brittle totem]

The car is not a bad one maybe a bit expensive its just then branding thar runs it for me they should just have called it Ford Mach-E.

[civic girder]

and at this point the GTR is a recycled outdated car, just like the Charger

[civic girder]

I agree, it should just be the Mach E. But eh, free marketing ig.
EVs are all expensive, but the Mach E is cheaper and better than Tesla, so you can't complain in that department.

imo the worst part is that they used "Mustang" on an SUV.
I absolutely despise SUVs

the EV portion doesn't bother me

But in my dad's defense. He wanted an EV, the Mach E was the best option, and sadly SUVs are becoming the norm

[civic girder]

Tell that to Honda. Their "eCVT" isn't even a transmission

[brittle totem]

I haven't been in Mach-E yet but I have driven and a model y this summer and quality where not bad at all. But the one I was in was an brand new 2022 which where build I Germany and the German and chinse build one is way better then the us build ones or that at least what I have heard.

[civic girder]

It's just an electric motor directly driving the wheels and occasionally using a clutch to use the ICE to drive the wheels through the entire drivetrain's final drive

[stoic ledge]

In the new Civic Hybrid isn't it almost always EV driven with the engine as a generator and a fixed ratio for highway driving?

Ah basically that yes

[civic girder]

Yea I've never seen a German or Chinese Tesla. Only US built. And dear god the Model 3 I was in was a complete shitbox.
I rode in a Mach E with my dad when he test drove and it seemed pretty solid. He took delivery of his a couple months ago but I haven't been back that way to actually see his inside and out + test drive

[stoic ledge]

They even make the engine shift under acceleration in sport mode even while the engine isn't connected to the wheels

[civic girder]

what

My Insight doesn't do that

[brittle totem]

I have driven an Nissan leaf too and quality it obviously worse in that car but its way cheaper so that should be expected but the Nissan leaf felt cheaper then even an VW golf too.

[stoic ledge]

Uuuhm lemme see if I can find a video of it

It does in the latest Civic

[civic girder]

I mean, its a Nissan. What did you expect?

[stoic ledge]

Idk about the Insight, not sold here

[civic girder]

That's completely pointless

[stoic ledge]

https://youtu.be/1hh4WE4Yveo?t=0m31s

[civic girder]

Insight is essentially a Civic Hybrid. Same chassis and engine, as well as mostly same interior.
But the Insight hasn't been refreshed to be on the 11th gen platform yet afaik

[stoic ledge]

True but it does make is feel more natural

[civic girder]

Infinity gears ig

Fast and Furious is now real

[stoic ledge]

[civic girder]

I wonder if it'd be faster to not shift

you'd have continuous full power output

[fathom socket]

I see lots of garbage trucks that are rhd for some reason

[stoic ledge]

If the engine still generates enough electricity, it probably won't matter

Fake shifting cvts are slower

But the engine doesn't drive the wheels here

[fathom socket]

Don't really get why if they are getting loaded manually

[civic girder]

https://youtu.be/t7qbv_5EeZA

Same as my car

[civic girder]

true

My issue with Honda's ""eCVT"" is that highway mpg is kinda shit for what it is. Toyota's Hybrid cars get way better highway mpg due to having an actual transmission

When I went on a road trip back in feb, I was getting 34mpg at 70mph in 38F ambient temps

Absolute trash

[brittle totem]

Well the mech e is 1k more expensive if you want compare them in a similar spec. And ev wise the Model y is a better car its more efficient has better range and charge faster then the mech e. Rest is just personal preference what you like the most.

[stoic ledge]

I've heard decent results of the new hybrid Civic

[civic girder]

It's partly due to the fact that for some reason my Insight gets shit mpg in the cold already, and then the high cruising speed doesn't help

[civic girder]

Maybe its better. The insight uses the 1.5L from the shitspec Civic, just pairs it with the hybrid drivetrain

[stoic ledge]

To get close to the curb? Idc

Ah the new one has a 2.0 iirc

[civic girder]

Mach E is cheaper in the US iirc. At least when my dad bought his.

[stoic ledge]

Atleast I don't vomit every time I see an Mach-e

[civic girder]

And don't forget that the Insight is based on the 10th gen Civic, not the 11th gen

[civic girder]

[stoic ledge]

We never got a Hybrid of the 10th gen I think, only a 1.0T and 1.5T

[civic girder]

ah

[stoic ledge]

Oh and a diesel apparently

[deep zealot]

I raced my friend's mach E once

[stoic ledge]

I bet that sold well

(not)

[brittle totem]

Well my friends dad choosed the model y over the mach e,ev6,ioniq 5,id4 and skoda enyaq. He test drove them and all and liked the model y the most. But everyone is different and has their own preference.

[civic girder]

Yea the Insight is 1,5L n/a with presumably the same drivetrain as your new Civic Hybrid

[deep zealot]

Model Y looks super ugly I cannot stand it

Almost as bad as some of these modern BMWs

[civic girder]

Tesla is just revolting in every way

[deep zealot]

If not worse

[civic girder]

Definitely worse

I'd own a Nissan Sunny over a Tesla, and that's saying something

[stoic ledge]

The Electric motors produce 184hp in the new Civic

Idk about the Insight

[civic girder]

the 2019 Nissan Sunny rental I had was utter shit and broke down

[civic girder]

combined peak hp is 154 iirc

[stoic ledge]

Hmm then it's all new

[civic girder]

Its a complicated answer

bc the 1.5L ICE makes 107 hp. iirc the ev motor makes more than 160hp, but according to the specs, it is virtually impossible to see more than 154hp at the wheels

and from what I understand about the "transmission" is you will almost never see that unless you're at WOT and near top speed

but the wheel torque is going to absurd. Not as absurd as Toyota's I don't think tho, bc again not a real transmission

[brittle totem]

Yeah its designed to be functional and efficient over looking looking nice. However I don't think it looks that bad if you choose the right color the blur or the red one. But their is defiantly better looking evs out there but they all suffer efficiency wise.

[stoic ledge]

Hmm so Wikipedia says 146 for the 2.0, 184 for the Electric motors and 215 combined, but Honda only lists the 184hp

For the 11th e:HEV

[civic girder]

Interesting

I bet the drivetrain is essentially the same, but I wouldn't be surprised if they used a more powerful motor

plus you're getting a 2L

But from what I'm seeing, the Insight and new Civic Hybrid have virtually the same 0-60 time

which is even more interesting

[deep zealot]

the fastest 2.0L does 0-60 in 1.9s

[brittle totem]

The mach e gt is 100k$ in Sweden so line 20k more then the model y performce.

[deep zealot]

GT is also slow

Very dissapointing

[civic girder]

I don't know much about the Mach E GT

[brittle totem]

Yeah specially for that price tag.

[deep zealot]

My 2.0L 328i 4 cylinder walked my friend's Mach E

[civic girder]

I do know that the Teslas are shit, so there's that.

[deep zealot]

Unfortunately these EVs have no top end

[civic girder]

yea bc they have no transmission

[deep zealot]

Taycan / E-tron does

[civic girder]

Yea, but those are also like $100k USD cars lol

[brittle totem]

And the worst part is that the gt version overheats after like 2 laps on a go kart track during a rainy summer Day in Sweden.

[deep zealot]

So much for being a "mustang"

[civic girder]

So do Teslas

Plus the Model S Plaid's ""brakes""

[stoic ledge]

I was just about to say this

[stoic ledge]

Not only the Plaid, also the 3 and Y

[civic girder]

Like, everything circles around to current EVs being garbage

[deep zealot]

An E36 with no interior will wreak havoc

[stoic ledge]

Consecutive breaking is a no go

[brittle totem]

Not on a go kart track yeah I know that tesla isen't that Great on track ehiter.

[deep zealot]

Taycan is good on a track

[civic girder]

No matter how decent a Mach E or any other non-Tesla EV is, it's still shit compared to equivalent ICE cars

the tech just isn't quite there yet

[brittle totem]

Well its an porsche and its meant to be really sporty so yeah of course its good on track.

[civic girder]

imho Hybrids need to be more prevalent until good EVs are a thing

[deep zealot]

The BMW 545e is an amazing hybrid with so much potential

[stoic ledge]

Model 3 Performance vs Polestar 2 with Performance Pack, 100km/h - 0km/h

Model 3

• 1st try: 35.3m
• 2nd try: 36.5m + overheating warning
• 3rd try: 40.4m

Polestar 2:

• 1st try: 33.9m
• 2nd try: 33.9m
• 3rd try: 33.8m
• 4th try: 33.8m

[deep zealot]

B58 + Electric motor = Havoc everywhere

And with adaptive dampers and a tune with M sport suspension with upgraded brakes, will destroy the track too

[civic girder]

yea but what's the fuel economy like

[brittle totem]

Is that with the optinal performce kit on the polestar 2 or just the stock one ?

[deep zealot]

daily commute runs just on electricity for 35 mile range

[civic girder]

so does my mom's Chrysler. What's the hybrid mode mpg

[deep zealot]

if it runs low or its a longer trip or you want to drive fast, youve got a 6 cylinder turbo charged powerhouse

[stoic ledge]

Os there a stock one? I think there's only one, which also includes the Öhlins dampers

[deep zealot]

I dunno mpg but a quick search online says 122-170 mpg

[civic girder]

cap

[brittle totem]

Not sure but I would guess that the performce kit gets you better brakes too its like 7k extra.

[deep zealot]

Its a supra engine with an electric motor bolted to it and in a big family sedan

[civic girder]

That's empg, which is the most bullshit measurement ever

[deep zealot]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Its efficient, comfortable and fast

What more could one ask for

[stoic ledge]

It does, Brembo iirc. But the Model 3 also gets upgraded breaks, atleast that's what they say

[brittle totem]

Yeah on hybrids it so bad it like the car manufactures are chaeting just to get lower taxes and lower emmsions like diesel gate.

[civic girder]

I can't find actual mpg values for it. They only talk about the EV efficiency, which everyone also claims as mega cap

[deep zealot]

Well its a 6 cylinder, its not gonna be great mpg

But its still going to be really good

[stoic ledge]

Model 3 P is also basically a 6k upcharge from the LR, which is basically an LR with a different tune

[brittle totem]

Well my brother Abarth has brembo brakes too.

[civic girder]

Finally. Actual mpg for the 454e

[deep zealot]

Thats better than I expected

[civic girder]

That checks out bc the Supra gets about 30mpg

[deep zealot]

Shame its not available in the USA

[brittle totem]

Well my brother e91 325i hade an average consumption of around 7,5l-8,0/100km so I would guess that a modern 6 cylinder would be better then that.

[deep zealot]

These things would ROCKET

[civic girder]

ironically its about the same mpg as my mom's Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid

except much faster lol

[stoic ledge]

The shape probably has an impact on it

[deep zealot]

It also gets such a nice interior

[civic girder]

Yea. ICE only v6 minivans traditionally only do about 20mpg

[deep zealot]

G30 has stepped up its game

[civic girder]

ngl that interior is mostly ass

but that's a common trend with modern cars

It's not mutually exclusive

[deep zealot]

Last time I used it was the 2nd most comfortable interior I sat in

The first being a RR Cullinnan

[civic girder]

I'm not saying the seats can't be comfortable

[stoic ledge]

I did I did 1:17.02 - 5.875L/100km - 40 MPG US - 48 MPG UK in my parents minivan

But it's not really a minivan to US standards, it's Ford C-Max sized

[civic girder]

I'm just saying the design is garbage and it looks horrible

[deep zealot]

Only thing I dont like about it is the Piano black

[civic girder]

Yea, probably a 4 banger too

[deep zealot]

[brittle totem]

And my dads pure diesel passat gets like 45 mpg on avrage but its an diesel so they will always be better the petrol cars even hybrids. Not sure why only mercedes makes hybrids with diesel.

[civic girder]

Yea but the problem with diesel is emissions, and in the US diesel fuel is waaaaay too expensive

My buddy used to get 45mpg in his diesel Jetta 5spd, but his operating costs were triple that of my Prius which was getting slightly better mpg

[deep zealot]

This one is my dad's Hybrid Avalon

Gets insane MPG no matter where I go

Big family sedan getting 75 MPG is insane

[civic girder]

That's using empg tho, which is again bullshit

[deep zealot]

Nah its actual MPG

[civic girder]

cap

[deep zealot]

It is

the battery has a literal range of like a mile

[stoic ledge]

1.4 Turbo

[civic girder]

yea so ofc you got 40mpg lol. A Honda Odyssey has a 3.2L or something v6 and is bigger

[stoic ledge]

Well yeah xD

[deep zealot]

It’s super easy to get way better than this

I consistently get above 44 mpg if i try

[brittle totem]

Well you can't complain if you live in the US we pay around 28sek/l which is a bit over 10$ a gallon of diesel.

[civic girder]

I mean yea, all cars should be easy to get above epa ratings. But 30mpg over is excessive, there's something wrong with the calculations there for sure

[deep zealot]

It’s not, it’s just smart use of the CVT and using regen instead of actual braking

[civic girder]

oh right. I forgot the EU was scamland. Even premium gasoline isn't that expensive, even in California

[deep zealot]

Using MG2 is always priority in a hybrid toyota

So if you can drive around MG1 then you can get super high economy

[civic girder]

Oh I know, I had a XW20 Prius for a while

[deep zealot]

basically only tapping into engine power when going above 40 mph for overdrive

[civic girder]

I got like 5-7mpg over epa ratings, but that was my cap.

Even if I held up traffic I could not get higher

[deep zealot]

Then you know it’s not eMPG lol

[stoic ledge]

75MPG US for an Avalon I don't believe, even the most efficient smallest 800kg diesels don't get that, like an Audi A2 3L

Or from Toyota, a Yaris Hybrid does max 60 MPG US if you drive Slower than a grandmother

[deep zealot]

Same trip, different day

[civic girder]

30 mpg over is cap. 100%.
My Honda rarely even uses the engine to drive the wheels, but it doesn't calculate 70mpg

[civic girder]

Yea, where the Yaris is a tiny lightweight shitbox so it makes sense.
The current gen Prius is rated for like 55 iirc. And the most I've seen in my Insight is 55mpg

No way a top end mid sized sedan is getting more mpg than an economy car

[stoic ledge]

Imagination trusting the on board computer, fill it up and come back with the results then

And how is it the other way? If I go downhill in 1 direction I can also get amazing fuel economy

[civic girder]

even just in weight alone. You'd have to be driving downhill for multiple miles

[deep zealot]

Longer trip with highway driving mixed in

[civic girder]

See, that's believeable when comparing to the EPA ratings

[stoic ledge]

Keeps going down, getting closer to reality here

[civic girder]

You know what

I bet he's resetting the avg mpg meter and then going on a mostly downhill drive with lots of coasting

[deep zealot]

Nah

That’s my daily commute

[stoic ledge]

Yeah basically what I mentioned 😛

[civic girder]

bc if I do that, I can get 88mpg avg in my Insight

[deep zealot]

And that’s not how the computer works either

You can’t reset it

[stoic ledge]

But just calculate it at the gas pump

That's the only real measurement

[civic girder]

I don't even calculate it myself

I just plug numbers into Gasbuddy and it does math for me

[deep zealot]

Pulls nicely too

[stoic ledge]

I use an app which does it for me yes

[stoic ledge]

https://youtu.be/Io7LrY6dAy0

Doesn't beat a 3 cyl 0.9L turbo with robotized manual

[civic girder]

I unfortunately don't have any summer trips plugged into gasbuddy for the Insight. But best I've seen since I started using it was 51.8

[deep zealot]

Driving slow cars fast is a hobby of mine now

[civic girder]

which 51.8 is essentially on-par with the expected EPA combined avg

I have seen 55mpg on the dash, but I have not yet proven the accuracy

[deep zealot]

Out of all my launches i’ve been able to do 5.6s 0-60 in my 2L 328i

the transmission is the best part of the car

[wheat hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/smile-nod-yes-robert-redford-beard-gif-10489927

[stoic ledge]

Babo

[deep zealot]

This weekend i’m planning to rent an M3 Competition

And then drive it very slow

[wheat hatch]

How about renting it, and then not driving it at all?

[civic girder]

ew gasbuddy changed their UI

[wheat hatch]

[deep zealot]

Big brain

[civic girder]

now it doesn't tell me the mpg for each tank

[deep zealot]

Will do this

I have meets planned

[brittle totem]

And i have gotten 5,9 sec in my moms "mpv" BMW. Not sure how fast it was in this video without launch control on a wet road.

[deep zealot]

This is ZF8 right?

[stoic ledge]

F

[deep zealot]

That’s also some very nice shifting

I like a nice, fast transmission

[stoic ledge]

No 2AT never got the ZF 8HP

[deep zealot]

Ah

That’s still very fast though

[stoic ledge]

6spd slushbox iirc

[civic girder]

What App?

[stoic ledge]

It's the FWD platform

[stoic ledge]

Spritmonitor But European focused, however you can select US units

[brittle totem]

@deep zealot well if you asked me its not ZF8 but it shifts nicely and reacts fast when you floor it even without launch control.

[deep zealot]

Does it show DS or S1 in transmission sport mode

[brittle totem]

S1

[deep zealot]

Ya then you have sport transmission in that car

BMW transmission tuning is very good in my opinion

[brittle totem]

8spd*

[stoic ledge]

My brother has the ZF 8HP mounted to the 116i

[deep zealot]

Very based transmission

In my opinion every car should have either DCT, Manual or ZF8

[stoic ledge]

Ah right the 6spd was the 225xe. 225i xDrive got the Aisin AWF8

[deep zealot]

Or for Koenigsegg, LST

[stoic ledge]

Manual > automatic
ZF 8HP > Aisin AWF8 > all others including DCT

[deep zealot]

For daily driving I prefer ZF 8

[stoic ledge]

Lower powered FWD BMW's get a 7DCT

[deep zealot]

But for fast cars I like the PDK, M DCT and DSG

[stoic ledge]

Magna 7DCT300 iirc

[deep zealot]

Not Getrag?

[brittle totem]

I guess the DSG shifts alrights too

[deep zealot]

Yeah I like DSG

My ZF 8 feels like a DCT in the first couple gear shifts

[stoic ledge]

As far as I know, it's not

[deep zealot]

Hmm

[stoic ledge]

Ah Getrag is owned by Magma apparently

Since 2016

Or 2015

[deep zealot]

Ah

That makes sense

Getrag has been making DCTs for BMW since 2008

[stoic ledge]

Same transmission is also in Mercedes and Renault's iirc

[pearl tiger]

Anyone here watching FIA rallycross?

[vocal mural]

@stoic ledge

[stoic ledge]

1.159?

[vocal mural]

[stoic ledge]

You sure that ' isn't lost?

[vocal mural]

I hope so

[stoic ledge]

Oh no wait

Huh

the upper - also appears to be there

Ok no it's not

Yeah the ' is lost then probably

[vocal mural]

Did an online search €1,159

[stoic ledge]

Yeah makes sense

[brittle totem]

Super plus petrol most be so good 😱

[pearl tiger]

Just 98octane

Just get the sweet ultimate with 102

[vocal mural]

Why? No such need with most engines

[pearl tiger]

I use 98 on my shitbox

That 5cents diff won't hurt my pocket

[brittle totem]

In Sweden we just have miles and miles plus miles= 95 and miles plus = 98. Same thing for diesel but not sure what the difference is between them.

[vocal mural]

Extra additives

[brittle totem]

I haven't noticed any difference in fuel consumption between miles and miles plus with diesel.

[feral reef]

Often also “E0” which any car benefits from

Petrol car obviously, don’t wanna put it in a diesel 😂

[civic spoke]

98 octane isn't always the same as E0. Most of the time, then 98 is E5

[feral reef]

That's what I'm saying , it's usually "E5" but E5 isn't a minimum, it's a max, they can decide not to put any E in it

Like premium gasoline at some gas stations here it's effectively E0 but labeled "E5"

Off the top of my head it's Shell, Total and another

[charred depot]

Tescos pwemium is like that here its E5 but actually no ethanol if I recall right

[fathom socket]

Anyone can help me

I need to find a matching transmission for my car

is there a website that could breakdown my vin to parts numbers?

[shy pike]

depends on the car ig

[fathom socket]

it's a Peugeot 307

I know the negine is ew10j4

[civic spoke]

You should be able to find a parts list for your car. I'm sure of it.

[fathom socket]

but can't really find where

[brittle totem]

We have quite a few gearboxes for the 307 in Sweden not sure if you can ship it to your country and if its possibal it would probely be very expensive. https://www.bildelsbasen.se/sv-se/pb/Sök/Bildelar/s1/Peugeot/a/a/Växellåda-&-Drivaxel-&-Mellanaxel/Växellåda-manuell-5_vxl/Alla

[fathom socket]

I found code for automatic

finally

managed to find

it's 20DM37

[fathom socket]

I think I'll find one from poland since my cousin works in a shipping company that drives to Italy

[civic girder]

yea. I hate it.

Just sell flat E0, no bs

E0 is lovely.

[stoic ledge]

That's just the shifter?

https://catalogs.ssg.asia/peugeot/?lang=en

[brittle totem]

I think this is the part number for for the 5 speed manual gearbox.

[fathom socket]

I need entire gearbox

3rd 4th gears are on bad shape and 5th is completely mangled

[stoic ledge]

Yeah but the part number you mentioned is just the shifter, not the actual gearbox

Gearbox should be something like the 2222 XX like Bjoorn mentioned

[brittle totem]

You can use that website i linked earlier to find the part number for your gearbox.

[charred depot]

Period correct

[fathom socket]

everyone is selling them with shifter numbers

I don freaking know

I need to find correct

I'

I've managed to find the gear it self

it's costs 2/3rd of the entire gearbox

[vocal mural]

@brittle totem Did you say Max?

[brittle totem]

I don't se any halloumi/grilloumi burger but the Frisco one is nice too. And you don't get that shitty "hamburger paper wrap" with the non grand deluxe burgers.

[vocal mural]

And did somebody say Mjölbypotäten?

[vocal mural]

I did get the Frisco indeed, but did the patties change?

[brittle totem]

Have you seen this place north of Tierp. Such a weird thing to build in the middle of no where probably why they did go bankrupt in the first place.

[brittle totem]

Nope I meant this ones like the paper around the burger it self.

[civic spoke]

Ahh yes. Dragon Gate.

I remember that there was a bunch of issues with the working conditions of the construction workers.

[brittle totem]

Yeah I have heard of that too. But how would that place even make it financially anyways.

[civic spoke]

Well off Chinese businessmen.

That's what it was meant as. A meeting ground for Chinese to make deals.

[brittle totem]

Yeah but the location is so weird.

[vocal mural]

I think so, i was on that part of the E4 the latest time in 2018

[vocal mural]

Still about 200km to go

[civic spoke]

https://youtu.be/Wzr0GYfRsKI

[deep zealot]

Ive discovered that these cars put out a lot of warning signs when they detect an accident

[brittle totem]

That's the guy that crashed in middle of Stockholm right and run away ?

[deep zealot]

Yes in his famous Highway series

Fragglarn

[brittle totem]

All "premium" cars from like 2014 and up calls sos when the car detects an accident of the airbags blows.

[brittle totem]

Only 20000km to basically brand new I think it was his friends car or something like that.

[deep zealot]

They held an interview with the driver in Sweden after he was released from the prison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzpD8qE7f1w

It was a company film car

He explains everything behind the accident

[brittle totem]

I think he was in prison because for tax fraud and not for his dangerous driving. that's just how it here in Sweden tax is more "important" then real criminals.

[deep zealot]

Yeah that was funny for me

[brittle totem]

Fun fact the longest real word in Sweden is of course a word for a type of tax 💸.

[deep zealot]

[brittle totem]

I like how the check engine light didn't came on. How can the engine be in a good chape after a frontal crash at like 120km/H.

[deep zealot]

It wasnt frontal crash, he was drifting and he hit a large stone on the right side which caused him to drift opposite way and slide across the left divider

[brittle totem]

Yeah but he hade a big impact with the barrier after that at around 120km/h

[deep zealot]

This was the barrier impact

This was stone impact

1st picture different angle

[brittle totem]

Well it looked way worse in the pov video looks like a driverside frontal impact right into the barrier.

[deep zealot]

Yeah see, S55 engine is located behind the front axle

Since he impacted at an angle it didnt cause engine damage

[stoic ledge]

POV: you drive a tiny car and you still can't park it, so you just stop in the middle off the road

[vocal mural]

Do I need to come with a forklift and tow it away for you?

[stoic ledge]

Please do

[brittle totem]

Typical taxi drivers in Stockholm. Like they park wherever they want when they picking up somebody or typing in a address in sat nav.

[stoic ledge]

Lol

But usually they don't leave their car for over an hour 😛

Oh the MiTo moved

It's not like that's any better

[sudden pecan]

how did it move

[charred depot]

4 bodybuilders

[stoic ledge]

The owner did it, I missed it

[sudden pecan]

they moved it 2 feet?

[charred depot]

Parking half on the pavement is normal around here

[stoic ledge]

2 feet forward and closer to the kerb yes

[stoic ledge]

I always park half on the sidewalk here if I park out front

[charred depot]

too lazy to walk more than 5 feet for fish and chips

[stoic ledge]

Classic

[brittle totem]

This is exactly how the taxi drivers parks in Stockholm and they make the right turn impossible to do in safe way.

[charred depot]

I hate people that park on junctions

especially when its some stupid suv shite that you cant see through

or people that go too far past the stop line at roundabouts

well great now I cant see without going further out

[wheat hatch]

Ngl, never understood thrill of running from Swedish cops

Like... Aight, you are escaping Volvo's, congrats lol

[charred depot]

with the right coordination it wouldnt really matter what cars they had

[deep zealot]

Its less about the cars and more about the “euphoric feeling of running from people that abuse their power”

[brittle totem]

I don't even think the police drive as fast as possible either, they are probably trying to do it in the safest way possible and they don't want to risk anyone else's life either.

[wheat hatch]

Which is even more awkward, because Swedish police are very tame LOL

[wheat hatch]

Exactly, and their cars are extra kitted which probably makes them heavier than usual as well

[wheat hatch]

I can get it if you think it's cool if you are like, 15 years old, but a grown man doing that is just embarrassing

[deep zealot]

it’s some dude in his late 20s

idk i’m just relaying what he said

[brittle totem]

The worst part it that they doesn't understand that they are risking innocent people lives while they are doing this.

[wheat hatch]

Ah yeah I know, I saw the interview as well, just found it funny lol

[round turtle]

Also aren't those volvo's extra tuned to have more power because the extra weight?

It's true for pretty much any Dutch police car

[wheat hatch]

You think they have the brain capacity for that Bjorn?

[wheat hatch]

Maybe, but can't mask the weight on corners

Any performance car will outrun it eventually in the corners

[brittle totem]

Well the person that was crashed that m3 has kids if I remember correctly so he should be smart enough to know that.

[wheat hatch]

You overestimate their critical thinking capabilities

[round turtle]

Only with good drivers. Criminals don't tend to be good drivers. How else could the average Dutch Mercedes MPV car catch a decked out BMW involved in armed robbery

also helicopters are a great back up 😛

few years back they even used an apache because of the night capabilities

[wheat hatch]

Well, newer cars can make the driver seem more competent than what he is

[wheat hatch]

Also, here in Sweden, even if they bring out the helicopter, just think about how much it costs to keep that thing up in the air for ok me car chase

So it's not likely they keep it in the air for very long

[round turtle]

Those costs are lower than one or more killed bystanders because of the speed if cop cars are close by

[brittle totem]

If you decide to go to max again you should consider to try their "new" chicken burgers they are very good too and very crispy.

[wheat hatch]

Hm... Maybe so, but usually the helicopters come out for shootings here in Sweden

[round turtle]

Hell it's even official strategy of the Dutch police. If the car has to stop, but refuses to stop and thus keep speeding, the chopper will be called in

[wheat hatch]

Car chases are given up on fairly quick

[round turtle]

because chopper is cheaper than killed/wounded bystanders

[wheat hatch]

Because like @brittle totem the chase has to be conducted in a safe manner

[round turtle]

however it sounds that a police chopper get's called in way more in the Netherlands than in Sweden

even a simple burglary can be used as reason to call in a chopper

[wheat hatch]

Probably, but with the increase of shootings here, the helicopters have been up more recently

[wheat hatch]

Also just a note to this, our roads are quite different, we have quite open roads, so police don't stand a chance in terms of handling or top speed

[brittle totem]

Well they used to an helicopter for this stupid motorboat chase. I guess that it was the same guy that drove the m3 into a stone that "drove" this boat too. https://youtu.be/7k8HPxvNh2U?t=62

[wheat hatch]

[round turtle]

Someone doesn't know that the Netherlands has the second highest density of freeways in Europe

[wheat hatch]

But you are talking as if you know our roads

I'm telling you, dipping on Swedish police is easy

[brittle totem]

Do you know if they managed to catch the guy who shot Einar exactly one year ago?

[wheat hatch]

Unsure, I just know it's connected to Vårby nätverket? Not that into Swedish rap and the hood politics around it

[stoic ledge]

Hood politics

[brittle totem]

Not me either but I quite liked the music that Einar used to produce specially the one who he didn't rap about criminal stuff.

[wheat hatch]

[brittle totem]

Yeah he was supposed to be in court against vårby nätverket on that coming Monday.

[wheat hatch]

Yeah, but that's what got him in the end sadly

¯_(ツ)_/¯

It's only at 70k after 5 bids

[tepid wing]

That's a lot of money.

[vocal mural]

I had several on E4 yesterday. And even one without any taillights on.

French car 💀

[stoic ledge]

You see that basically every day

Same with fog

No, in fog it's even worse*

[civic spoke]

A big problem that we have today is also that the headlights become dirty and more diffused.

[vocal mural]

😡

I cant use my money that i put in my Swedish bank account yet.

After 24/10 available 😡😡😡

164,03 - 42,95 is not 21,50

[vocal mural]

Why show it then, as positive but not useable

Isnt it that instant money is obligated by European law nowadays?

For personal SEPA transfers

[wheat hatch]

When did you put the money in? As in, when did you start the transfer?

[vocal mural]

Yesterday morning

Around 8:00

[wheat hatch]

Well make sense that it arrives on Monday then

[brittle totem]

Well it says 10/24 so I guess it will arive on monday.

[brittle totem]

Just why ?

[timber oar]

He forgot he didn't drive his dual sport that day

[vocal mural]

He wants to show it like a piece of art

[brittle totem]

My golf gti is finally fixed just need to reset rhe service light and do the inspaction on monday.

[brittle totem]

Nah he just payed extra for xDrive better use it at all times when its possibal.

[civic spoke]

If the alignment fixes my ABS stuff I have going on (really hope that it does), then I'll probably book in an inspection shortly after I have swapped out the headlight lenses.

If I don't swap those out before.

[rustic night]

Just picked up this Vauxhall Zafira. I'm going to turn it into a gaming limo. Dunno what specs yet because I want to set up the seating and layout first

[stoic ledge]

Gaming Limo

[rustic night]

Gonna put a steering wheel racing rig in the back and find some sort of mobile computer and VR sensors

[brittle totem]

Got bored playing car games with a controller so I bought my first steering wheel for my PC today.

[rustic night]

Gotta find a way to make VR work when moving though

[fathom socket]

I actually managed to make work with Phone Vr

[charred depot]

Oh oh

[hollow frigate]

[wraith rivet]

[wraith rivet]

nice g29

I’ve got the g920

pretty much the same thing

[charred depot]

modern car wankrs

I literally have a wobbly cable driven speedo and I can maintain a speed, they have cruise control and all the shite plsbro

[brittle totem]

Do you know some nice settings for f1 22 ?

[wraith rivet]

I don’t play f1 but I’ve found for all games never use max force feedback

max is just too much it’s not realistic

and because the wheel itself if pretty small you can’t really wrench on it if you know what I mean

smaller diameter

anyways between 30-60% force feedback does me good you just gotta change it in game settings

[charred depot]

I hate when people flash when there literally isnt anywhere for you to go yet like

I see you I will move over at the nearest actual opportunity

[sudden pecan]

if i drove a car i didn't care much for i would have braked

[stoic ledge]

Oh yeah love that

If I'm already doing over the speed limit

I lift off the accelerator

And then I move over veeeery slowly after I'm done overtaking

[charred depot]

I do the moving over very slowly thing heh

[stoic ledge]

Classic Vauxhall driver

drives off in the 🅱️ased Opel

[charred depot]

Driving on the A9 with the average speed limit has me losing my mind

[sudden pecan]

his plate says v8 but he be driving a 2l diesel

maybe thats why hes mad

[charred depot]

when it goes to a dual carriageway and is a 70 the guy will do bang on 70, when it goes back down to a single carriageway they do 45 in a 60

[stoic ledge]

I had some BMW do that to me recently... Few miles further down the road he was behind a row of other cars which he couldn't past and I caught up... So I did the same to him

Dude went mental, you could see it from behind

[sudden pecan]

lmao

[charred depot]

there was an audi turning left at a roundabout really slow onto the A92 so I immediately go into lane 2 and right as I get maybe a car length ahead of them they start undertaking me

so I went fuck you then and moved over right infront of them, fuming

silent hill vibes

[stoic ledge]

11/10 here would drive there without headlights

[wispy cloak]

It made it

I lost the clutch a few miles away though

It seems like I either have a leak or I need to bleed it

I'm hoping that I just need to bleed it because I just did the clutch master, slave, and the like between the two

[charred depot]

Has it got one of those internal slaves where you need to seperate the engine and gearbox to replace

Friends A3 Quattro had one of those proper faff

[odd steppe]

Ay lmao

[charred depot]

all good

until it isnt

[wispy cloak]

No

You just have to have snake arms and a vacuum pump

[stoic ledge]

is that an dynamic island

Does it really say 166km on a 100% charge?

But nice, you finally got it 🥳

Does it have the correct roofliner (and other options?)

[feral reef]

When I see someone approaching like that I always speed up so I can get out of the way quicker

[brittle totem]

And i thought 200km at 96% where bad.

[outer glacier]

Anyone know if a 2009 Chevy Impala 12 volt outlet turns off when the car turns off? I bought a Bluetooth adapter for my phone. I wanted to Make sure that My car wasn't going to get drained if I left it plugged in.

If it doesn't then is there a way to have the outlet turn on when the car turns on?

[remote ridge]

All the cars I have turn them off automatically, you could always just leave your phone plugged in and check if it charges over like 5 mins but I would be surprised

[outer glacier]

That's smart

I'll do that

[civic girder]

I haven't encountered modern cars that leave the outlet on, but I have seen a few cars that do leave it on

[wispy cloak]

A fair amount have one that's always on and one that's off when that car is off

[sweet ginkgo]

Sent it a little to hard

[cursive forum]

Cody sent the skyline a lil to hard

[wraith rivet]

Turtle wax wax n dry works great
