540i's done right can look awesome too

I snapped this at Steelstacks years ago, speaking BMW's

And the independent german car shop in Doylestown owner Chris who I used to go to drove this.

[dusk ocean]

phoenix yeller

err austin yellow*

Yes Chris @ Zygmunts

I used to buy a lot of parts there when I was in newtown

[compact grotto]

Does he work there now? He was out of Doylestown Auto, did all euro stuff

[dusk ocean]

This was ages ago

[compact grotto]

https://doylestownautoshop.com/

[dusk ocean]

Ah he used to be here https://www.bimmerparts.com/ for a long time

[compact grotto]

Weird dude to work with but his shop is right now the street from me

[dusk ocean]

yes very odd dude

shortish brown curly hair? glasses?

[compact grotto]

Yep!

[dusk ocean]

kind of has like a lisp or speech thing

[compact grotto]

My dad takes his Macan there now

[dusk ocean]

or maybe add/austism, i dunno

[compact grotto]

yep, that's him

[dusk ocean]

nice dude though

[compact grotto]

Yeah

Always has neat stuff parked outside

[dusk ocean]

he ran the online side of Zygmunts which was across from the mercer museum

[compact grotto]

Yeah i'm pretty close to the center of town and that shop is well known for BMW's

[dusk ocean]

Nice nice - I go to Thompson a lot

[compact grotto]

Buddy has a clapped out E36 M3 that practically lives there as its always broken

[dusk ocean]

hahaha sounds like an e36 owner

[smoky gull]

twinsies

well not anymore but at a time it seems we were

[feral reef]

Oooooooh , I really like that

The does things to me

Just the different colors work so well together

[smoky gull]

the rear end picture is my favorite

[bitter compass]

Why are the foglights yellow?

Is that a us thingy?

[smoky gull]

It’s a tint

[bitter compass]

Kinda sticks out to me 👀

[smoky gull]

It’s definitely a look that isn’t for everyone

[feral reef]

I love it

Might actually be one of my favorite parts

[timber oar]

I don't know which vw that is but it doesn't look too bad

Actually kinda like it which is rare

[feral reef]

I'm impressed that you don't recognize a Golf when you see one

[timber oar]

I generally stay away from European cars because it's rare that they don't annoy me

Used to want a 2000s convertible 1.8t audi

Then i worked on a similar generation jetta my friend has xD

My dads customers car

Glasspar G2

First fiber glass car

My dad would’ve finished it but the guy didn’t pay 2k so he threw him out

[ornate juniper]

Dodge has the best red

[sinful creek]

Some cars at my mechanic’s shop

[misty mantle]

ooh, Bronco II

[sinful creek]

favorite color and trim on a bronco

[ornate juniper]

Cool cobra is it original?

Looks like a 289

Wait no it’s a 427

I don’t like the 427 flares it ruins it imo

I like the 289

More reliable

[sinful creek]

I don't really know, from the diamond plating on the dash it seems like a restomod

[ornate juniper]

U can tell if it’s real if

U check if it has the vin on the dashboard

It will be on the drivers side

[sinful creek]

I'll check if it's still there lol, my mechanic generally doesn't like people snooping around customer cars

[ornate juniper]

Me and my dad do classic car restoration he did a red 289 for the drummer for Elvis Presley

[ornate juniper]

Damn

What car u got

[sinful creek]

oh nice man

I've got an RD1 CRV that's getting a motor swap

[ornate juniper]

He also worked on a super bird that sold at barret Jackson for 1 million

He didn’t get the million unfortunately 💀

[sinful creek]

I've also got a 5th gen Turbo prelude in storage

[sinful creek]

Dannnngg

[sinful creek]

Clean

[ornate juniper]

Ye

He painted it

That ain’t his shop he gets most of his work from a place he use to work

It’s a private business and it goes around by word so only certain people hear abt it

[ornate juniper]

Cool

[sinful creek]

pushes like 300 wheel on ethanol

[ornate juniper]

Im not really into imports but looks pretty cool

[sinful creek]

It's nice but needs a tune bad lol

[ornate juniper]

I like American muscle

[ornate juniper]

Damn

[sinful creek]

NA American muscle is pretty badass and rowdy

[ornate juniper]

Ye

Im 15 I got a 69 dart Gt i bought for 500 dollars

54k original miles

It has a slant six right now we are going to put a 408 stroker in it

This was it before restoration

After restoration

@sinful creek

[sinful creek]

You're 15 and you got it for $500????

damn dude

[ornate juniper]

Yea

Some young girl she didn’t know 💀

[sinful creek]

RIP

[ornate juniper]

It’s light add

Asf

With the slant six and it being a GT

It’s 1900 pounds

[sinful creek]

Looks super fun

[ornate juniper]

Oh yea

It’s gonna be a monster with that 408 in it

[sinful creek]

fr

[ornate juniper]

Quarter mile in 10

[sinful creek]

My friend's dad has a 69 Pontiac GTO with the 4 speed

[ornate juniper]

And it will turn good since it’s. Gt

[ornate juniper]

Pretty cool

[sinful creek]

It's about as light but super floaty

[ornate juniper]

Is it a judge package?

[ornate juniper]

GTOs are heavy asf

[sinful creek]

🤷

[ornate juniper]

They have a full chassis

[sinful creek]

I'm not sure it has the filler neck behind the license plate and it's midnight purple with the drop top

[ornate juniper]

Wing?

[sinful creek]

ye

[ornate juniper]

Judges are usually orange but my dad uncle had one that was midnight blue with a black top

[ornate juniper]

Might be one then

[sinful creek]

Might be a respray tbh, but yeah it's pretty cool

[ornate juniper]

Cool

U got insta?

@sinful creek

[sinful creek]

I do but I don't post

It's Sk1ng0

[ornate juniper]

Mines linked to my discord

I lost what we work on on my insta

Some are from car shows tho but most are what we work on

[sinful creek]

Oh cool

[ornate juniper]

I’ll follow u

You might like the Supra we did

@sinful creek the engine is imported from Japan

[sinful creek]

Saw it, pretty good sleeper lol

[rugged lynx]

you can mod those and get some ok power

its already light so its probably decently fast

people been putting things like rotary engines in corvettes since the v8 muscle car is so overdone

[misty mantle]

I've seen people put standard engines in cars that had rotarys, but not the other way around

[rugged lynx]

yeah its easier

finnigan put a 2jz in one of his chargers

[misty mantle]

Yeah, I've seen the video floating around on youtube

[rugged lynx]

slant 6 is stock, so it should be easy too

only thing that kind of sucks about them is the stroke is too long so you risk melting piston rings above 5500rpm

I was planning on putting a gm 250 i6 in my clapped out 240z

also a long stroke i6

i have a second 240z that has a 350 in it, but there is probably thousands of those in usa

would love a 4 rotor but holy crap that look hard to build

[wraith rivet]

does anyone know what might be going on 😂

[stoic ledge]

I guess that's probably like maintenance mode?

The mode you have to put them in to switch the wiper blades

[wraith rivet]

I never thought that would be a thing

you’re probably right I’ll look into that

this has happened a few times now, I start up the car and the wipers start wiping even thought they’re in the off position

just started like a week or two ago

[ornate juniper]

ye its like 100k kit and it dose a quarter in 6

[dusky torrent]

Analog gauges >

[rugged lynx]

sounds like some fast and furious quote

[dusky torrent]

Fellow analog gauge user

[ornate juniper]

nah

[rugged lynx]

idk about 6 seconds a lot of v8 cars dont do that

[versed coral]

I miss my chevy cav- it had roll up windows

it had a cassette deck

[ornate juniper]

Slant 6

[rugged lynx]

what is "does a quarter in 6"?

[ornate juniper]

6 seconds

If u don’t know what ur talking abt don’t correct me

[rugged lynx]

im just quoting you

[ornate juniper]

?

💀

[rugged lynx]

lol, the whole, i don't remember saying that stick

[ornate juniper]

Dawg

[rugged lynx]

dont gas light me bro

[ornate juniper]

Ur English is ass

rephrase and I’ll understand

[rugged lynx]

your memory is worse

[ornate juniper]

About a slant six going a quarter in 6?

[rugged lynx]

how about you just become smarter?

[ornate juniper]

Yea what about it

beuh

U thick in the head

I explain something so simple what don’t you understand

A slant six doing six seconds in a quarter mile

If you also read the other stuff I said

I said 100k to do it

[rugged lynx]

na, im pretty sure if i got some second opinions what im saying is perfectly understandable. I think you are some kind of narcissist that gets off making others mad on discord?

[ornate juniper]

what

How am I making you mad

What did I even do

You started this

[rugged lynx]

you clearly dont know how to talk to people

[ornate juniper]

I do?

U being a bitch for what

[rugged lynx]

i just quoted you and you got all defensive, sounds like you are the mad one

[ornate juniper]

That’s not even a Quote

[rugged lynx]

it literally is, and I'm not overusing the word literally because it is a quote

what are you even arguing about?

[ornate juniper]

“Idk abt 6 seconds a lot of v8 cars don’t do that”

Simple

[rugged lynx]

yeah?

[ornate juniper]

Yea

[rugged lynx]

cool!

[ornate juniper]

fr

[rugged lynx]

and?

[ornate juniper]

And what

[rugged lynx]

is that somehow wrong?

[ornate juniper]

Ye

[rugged lynx]

oh really?

have any links?

[ornate juniper]

Yes

https://youtu.be/GHkEidYitcI

[rugged lynx]

still not 6 seconds

nice google lol

[ornate juniper]

It’s not

[rugged lynx]

100k to go 10+ seconds is almost a fast and furious quote

[wraith rivet]

real

[feral reef]

I much prefer digital gauges actually, an specifically a digital speedometer

[civic spoke]

I like what you could do with VAG products. Where you can have a digital readout in the middle.

[feral reef]

Yeah, that's a good combo

My car doesn't have it, so I just use the cruise control target speed as my speedo, haha

[wispy cloak]

Mopar does that too

[brittle totem]

This is my personal favorite one two screens on the side an analog one in the middle.

[wispy cloak]

Two tiny trucks parked next to each other

Basically mini trucks

[torn walrus]

+1 for the analog gauge club lol

Plus it's getting a new bumper today

[timber oar]

My dude one of those looks like a super duty

[timber oar]

The chrome looks nice but it won't ever stay nice

[wispy cloak]

Maybe

Both 6.0s

[timber oar]

I was like

how is that a small truck 😂

It's no semi but it's not a small truck xD

[feral reef]

That bumper is so shiny I think I can see myself in it

[timber oar]

Lmao

[civic spoke]

What does this sign mean? Anyone? I'm clueless.

[ornate juniper]

Train

[civic spoke]

Where can you find these signs? What country or whatever.

[ornate juniper]

Idk looks like the train thing

[civic spoke]

Doesn't look like anything to do with trains to me. but I also have no idea what the sign actually means.

[wraith rivet]

is that in a construction zone just on a road?

i'd assume something to do with either there's a gap in the sidewalk because of work being done or a gap in a train station platform for... whatever reason

Anybody in the U.S. have any favorite stores to get tires at? I might need 4 new tires and i'm not trying to overpay

im looking into some kind of pirellis

[stoic ledge]

Renault Sport Clio V6

[wraith rivet]

4 in a row

are renaults super super popular in europe?

[stoic ledge]

Mwah not super popular, just "normal"?

Quite common tho

But not these, generally, I think this was a meeting

There were a lot of Renault RS cars there

Those aren't common

All Renault's in that picture are also Renault RS

There green/yellow one there is very rare

Also very special

Those go for 70-80k

For a 20 year old small car, that's insane

[feral reef]

Drielandenpunt?

[wraith rivet]

[torn walrus]

Even if it doesn't, the old one was tweaked so still better

[feral reef]

Yeah, most things don't look as new forever

[wraith rivet]

are there any protection products you could use to extend the life?

[stoic ledge]

Yeah this was Wilhelminatoren near Drielandenpunt

[stoic ledge]

I mean they're crazy, they have a rear seat delete and a V6 in the rear, usually FWD but these are RWD

1309 of these "Phase 2" were made

1555 "Phase 1" and 159 Trophy's (Phase 1, race/cup car)

[charred depot]

who needs gauges anyway

[charred depot]

A murderer

[stoic ledge]

[charred depot]

Still not sure what im going to put that engine in

I should bump into my old 205 tomorrow, maybe he will swap it for my BX.

it would be really fun and dangerous in the 205

[wraith rivet]

How the hell did they cram an engine in the back

[wraith rivet]

that’s crazy

[charred depot]

probably more room in the back than in the front

[wraith rivet]

probably but wouldn’t they have to completely chop the floor up?

[charred depot]

worth it

[stoic ledge]

Very low production, and yeah they had to make a lot of structural changes to make it work

It's the spiritual successor of the Renault 5 Turbo, which also had the engine in the rear

Well read mid engine (both of them)

The R5T was initially intended for rally iirc

In response to Lancia's rallying success with the mid-engined Stratos, Renault's Jean Terramorsi, vice-president of production came up with the idea of creating a new sports version of the Renault 5 Alpine supermini.

Yes

[past copper]

"I light a match to see the dash

Tight steering? What's that

[fathom socket]

average ford

[torn walrus]

Well, new bumper is on 😁

[fathom socket]

nice

i just got my car today

[feral reef]

Nice, your first car?

What did you get

[fathom socket]

2023 civic touring

[fathom socket]

yes

[stoic ledge]

Isn't the Touring discontinued years ago?

Ah no not the body style, the Touring trim

[dusky torrent]

My BMW 3er

Great steering feel

throeback to when i got it

[wraith rivet]

squeaking a bit 😦

maybe I’ll try the deodorant trick

😛

[dusky torrent]

Nordschleife?

[sinful creek]

Holy shit, imagine having to remove the wholeass transmission for a starter lmfao

[fathom socket]

yeah

[timber oar]

Isn't that the stupid ford transmission i heard was like that

[rugged lynx]

its porsche

and idk about the bottom one. bmw loves doing that under intakes though

[timber oar]

As if i needed more reasons to avoid bmw

Lmao

[rugged lynx]

bmw parts are expensive in usa

some of the cars with normal grills look nice though

[raw cosmos]

what does this mean

[stoic ledge]

They're only allowed 3 turbochargers per season per driver

Going over that will result in grid penalties

https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.the-beginners-guide-to-formula-1-engine-and-gearbox-penalties.2TSy7BFgEvdNLojGLWS3F1.html

This article explains it pretty well

[pearl tiger]

yep

[raw cosmos]

“a driver may use” sounds like the power unit is fully modular, and these things can be pulled in and out of the engine. Are those connection points just a source of weight , risk and complexity? How do they optimize all the combinations of components?

oh now I get it, it’s a reliability and part replacement limit (not types that you swap out per race depending on what you want)

[dusky torrent]

F1 turbo hybrids aren't twin turbo?

If they were twin turbo, that number would be 4 or 5

[plucky flame]

Indycar is twin turbo

Look at that little snail back there isnt it just the cutest

[civic spoke]

Wait a minute. It's not a compressor?

[plucky flame]

Follow the carbon fiber tube coming from the intake

[civic spoke]

But that doesn't seem to be attached to the turbo in any way.

[plucky flame]

Listen man i didnt build the engine

The little plaque thing says theyre twin turbo v6s though

[civic spoke]

A turbo normally has a hot side, and a cold side. Hot side is where the exhausts goes to drive a turbine compressor on a normal turbo.

[civic spoke]

Can you call it E85 if the 15% of 'normal fuel' is race gas?

[plucky flame]

Sure

I figured it out

Thats from 2015 though

[civic spoke]

Yeah, I saw that picture. And that makes more sense.

[plucky flame]

Heres the 2019 model

Thats different from the one at the booth though

Wacky

[civic spoke]

Yeah, it's wild.

[plucky flame]

Maybe the guys there just decided to put it on wrong to be quirky

[stoic ledge]

I think single nowadays

Regarding BMW, visited a friend yesterday who works at a BMW dealership... Tried to sell me an M140i they have their

Not really a good fit for my current situation, unknown how much I need to drive etc for work

[dusky torrent]

I wonder how a 1.6 liter single turbo V6 makes 1000 hp

[stoic ledge]

3d 140i tho

[dusky torrent]

f1 is really a science experiment

[stoic ledge]

True but if I want to buy a house somewhere in the near future it might not be the best financial move

[stoic ledge]

Single or twin turbo doesn't really matter for output, twin turbo just makes it have a larger powerband

Not really necessary for an af1 car which is 90% in the high rev ranges

Yeah That's what I'm trying

[dusky torrent]

Also, my guess is that F1 cars suffer from really bad turbo lag

[stoic ledge]

Current car isn't exciting but at least it's cheap to run and very reliable

[stoic ledge]

They have some hybrid stuff to cover that

[stoic ledge]

Although I took it for a drive through the hills yesterday... Can still be fun utilizing every HP .. and 9/10 times there's a slow tourist blocking you anyway

car

Pulled over to take a wizz

[plucky flame]

Dont listen to captain slow about speed

[stoic ledge]

Even with 83hp I have no problem going double the speed limit on back roads

After almost 7 years it's nice to get something else... But still 25k which can towards the downpayment of a house is also nice

The 140i he tried to sell me btw

No big screen navi

[brittle totem]

And I guess that it goes for like 60k to.

[stoic ledge]

"Just" 30k... But also had 140k km on it already

Which explains the price

And 3d are priced lower

[brittle totem]

Which model year is it ? 30k sounds cheap,

[stoic ledge]

2017

It's the cheapest in the country

[brittle totem]

The cheapest one here is €29,5k but it has the big iDrive and harman kardon sound system.

[brittle totem]

Yeah you should obviously go for a apartment/house before a car.

[stoic ledge]

Yeah that's what I'm going to do

Not sure when yet

[bitter compass]

Do you even know what a hill is flat country man

[stoic ledge]

I live in the only non-stupid part of the country... The most South East part which has hills

[plucky flame]

I hear hills?

I have to walk uphill to school both ways

[civic spoke]

How this works.
You walk to school, only uphill.
Get a ride back from school, they drive past your house, and you have to walk uphill from there.

[plucky flame]

Hold on.

Thats how you walk uphill both ways

[civic spoke]

That, too.

Having to walk up and down a hill to get to school, also works.

[feral reef]

That's the most boring color imaginable

[wraith rivet]

it might be cool with a chrome delete

we used to have an m2 in a color similar to that but everything was blacked out

it was a good little car

[civic spoke]

They only lit up when there are wildlife nearby?

[vocal mural]

Yes, although i didn’t see any.

[stoic ledge]

My current car is white... So I better say nothing

[feral reef]

White is way more interesting than grey

[charred depot]

need more maroon cars with gold pinstripes!

[feral reef]

I say that as a person with a white car, although technically mine isn’t white

[vocal mural]

You see every dirt on white, with grey not.

[feral reef]

My car is either white, silver or grey depending on the lighting

[stoic ledge]

That's why mine is white with a black roof, so it's both dirty very fast and very hot in the summer

[stiff burrow]

I’m in London now. There are a lot more automatic cars than I was led to believe, lol

[charred depot]

it is fuckn london

[stoic ledge]

Cities aren't representative imho

[charred depot]

apparently the toyota prius was the most crashed car in the UK for a year

[stoic ledge]

Many new cars, especially London with emissions/LEZ, many hybrid/EV

[charred depot]

I like never see a toyota prius

[stoic ledge]

All automatic

[stiff burrow]

🤷‍♂️

Just my perspective

[bitter compass]

Ye big cities are not really representative

[dusky torrent]

the red bulls have unbelievable pace

[stoic ledge]

Yup

[dusky torrent]

F1 multi viewer

[charred depot]

ive only been in 4 or 5 autos thusfar most of them being in the past 2-3 years

[stiff burrow]

It’s still cool to see all these tiny cars and brands I’ve never seen before like renault

[charred depot]

get the megabus up to scotland

[stoic ledge]

Modern Renault's look quite nice

[stiff burrow]

Yes

Was the car also beeping?

[sudden pecan]

no thats from the music lmao

although the traction control light flashed on momentarily

[feral reef]

Did something happen at 0:45?

[sudden pecan]

think that was me pulling the car back to the left a bit

something on the dash probably rolled into something

[charred depot]

welcome to britin

[civic spoke]

You don't recognize Missy Elliott when you hear it?

[charred depot]

bit of sliproad here which is always totally flooded at the bottom causing cars to have to join at like 15mph. You'd think with it raining so much here in Scotland we would know how to do drainage.

Not bad at all.

[rugged lynx]

hydroplaning that close to a guard rail sounds like a fun time

[feral reef]

My car on my summer set seems to be practically immune to hydroplaning

Didn't realize this video was out already https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZsWD4N0yds

[pearl tiger]

nexen all the way lul

[charred depot]

Spare I fitted to my 305 is a 30 year old michelin with the cool old tread pattern.

I should probably change it after many experiences of my friends running similarly aged tyres permanently and mfw blowout who would have guessed

[civic spoke]

I have the Pilot Sport 5 as my summers. 👌

[charred depot]

colour me suprised

Have a set of falken summers and a set of goodyear all seasons for the 305.

I wouldnt have bought the goodyear all seasons just got them "free"

[stoic ledge]

Kek thought the song ended, only heard the beeping

[stoic ledge]

Yikes

[charred depot]

period correct tho : )

[stoic ledge]

The tree around which the car will be wrapped probably also 😉

[charred depot]

its just for temporary use

[brittle totem]

So Alonso did get p3 in the end

[brittle totem]

https://www.formula1.com/en/results.html/2023/drivers.html

[honest stone]

alonso p4 due to 10 second penalty

[stoic ledge]

Extremely disappointing

[brittle totem]

According the resualts on the website he got p3 maybe its not uptaded or something. But he did post 41 mins ago that he got his 100th podium.

[honest stone]

look on the f1 standings

pushed back to p4 due to time penalty i think he is yet to update his instagram

[hidden bloom]

austin princess in beige, absolute peice of cheese

[brittle totem]

Oh my bad i checked the championship ship standings that why it said p3.

It would have been fine if they told him diretcly so that he could push a bit more to gain some seconds but waiting until the race over is just wrong.

🙄

FIA...

Article about it

But what a FIA shit show again

Almost tradition nowadays

[dusky torrent]

Yeah

This is getting ridiculous. For two races in a row, drivers have been getting penalties for serving penalties incorrectly

[wispy cloak]

1. Leak
2. Issue
3. Fixed (for now)

[dusky torrent]

I think Ocon had a total of 3 penalties in Bahrain

Alonso had 2 but the FIA ruled out the last 1

[brittle totem]

And the Hamilton fanboys didn't like that they still brings up Abu Dhabi 2021 over 1,5 years after it happend.

[elfin stone]

@stoic ledge updating my UHP

If something goes wrong, my Handsfree will be bricked

Fun fact: Initiating the process deactivates the interior lights of the Center console

Radio is active btw

And the Instrument cluster is blinking like a Christmas tree on steroids

[slender mural]

My M3 was showcased at the Motul booth today at Springfest! Also enjoy the Veilside RX7 and Carbon Wheels on the 3RS

[stoic ledge]

Very unfortunate sequences of events yes

[stoic ledge]

Heh classic

They'll probably whine about that moment on their death bed

[stoic ledge]

What's the benefit of updating it?

I also casually update modules in my car at 3AM 😛

[stoic ledge]

Kek, my car literally every time you plug something in the OBD port... I think it's the LPG computer in-between messing with it

[plucky flame]

How have you found 3 cars i really like

[fathom socket]

So I got a new ride

a 2001 3 door Toyota Yaris

I always get older and older cars

the pain looks like crap tho

[feral reef]

a 2001-3 or a 2013?

[stoic ledge]

A 3 door from 2001?

[feral reef]

ahhh

That makes a lot more sense

Semi related, the GR Yaris is such a good looking car

Even the regular Yaris looks good

[stoic ledge]

A 2001 is not

[feral reef]

hahahahha

[stoic ledge]

Could be worse tho... could be a Yaris Verso

[feral reef]

That's almost Multipla levels of bad

[fathom socket]

eh

[stoic ledge]

It's worse than a Multipla imho

[elder sand]

why is it bad? (Idk abt cars bro )

looks fine to me

[stoic ledge]

It's the most dreary car in existence, if you bought one of those you gave up on life already

[elder sand]

oh

[stoic ledge]

The car itself isn't inherently bad, they're fairly reliable and quite spacious

[fathom socket]

yes

[feral reef]

Yeah, I'm sure it works

But it doesn't exactly ehhhhhh

[fathom socket]

My mom has a 5 door from 2005

[fathom socket]

at least is more practical.
would rather get this one than hatchback, but I really had to get something to get my by while my 307 Sw is absent

[stoic ledge]

The door of the Verso on the back is massive

[elder sand]

what car you got?

[stoic ledge]

Not really relevant to the discussion

[elder sand]

ik just asking man

seems like you know lot abt cars

[fathom socket]

I have to transport a lot of stuff back home and to the truck

[elder sand]

so asking what u got

[stoic ledge]

2012 Opel Corsa

Known the be the best car

Ever

[elder sand]

looks good to me

[stoic ledge]

Woah

[fathom socket]

I prefer astra

Corsa is too smol for me

at least I could not fit in Corsa B and C

[stoic ledge]

3d is perfect for me, I sit way worse in way bigger cars

Corsa D is waaaay more spaciois than the B and C, and also the new F

It's the only small car I can actually properly fit in

[stoic ledge]

I quite like it, more than I initially thought when I bought it almost 7 years ago

[fathom socket]

I just barely fit in first gen yaris

[elder sand]

woah how old are you

[fathom socket]

but the 3rd gen yaris is wayyy to small for me

[stoic ledge]

It's not fast but the interior is very spacious and it handles really well

[stoic ledge]

24 lol

1st car

[elder sand]

am 14 .-.

[stoic ledge]

heh

[elder sand]

for how much did you buy it?

[fathom socket]

I'm not really older and I already have 3rd car

[elder sand]

for 7 years, it looks really neat and good

[stoic ledge]

Not really going to disclose the full price, but ~ half the new price (cars are now way more expensive so you can probably figure out what a current one would cost right now)

4 years old at the time

[stoic ledge]

Well it's 11 now

[elder sand]

nice

seems like you take care of it

[stoic ledge]

Heh well I had a BMW to flip, and almost bought a car to replace the mighty Corsa... but I think I keep it for a while

[stoic ledge]

Oh yeah probably the best taken care of Corsa in the country

I even detail it and stuff like that

[elder sand]

noice

how many miles

i guess hmmm 80-90k? Or more.. idk

[stoic ledge]

99400 miles atm

(159900km)

Almost 100k miles

[elder sand]

sheesh

[stoic ledge]

Not that crazy, for one of these it's actually quite low mileage

Most of these for sale have ~250k km on them

[elder sand]

oooo

[stoic ledge]

(~150k miles)

[elder sand]

what country u live in? us?

[stoic ledge]

Nope Opel doesn't sell in the US

[elder sand]

idk abt cars and where they sell

[stoic ledge]

🇳🇱 (The Netherlands)

[elder sand]

xD

o

Nice

you watch cricket?

[stoic ledge]

nope

[elder sand]

oh

[fathom socket]

what the heck is cricket?

[elder sand]

oh lol

it's a sport

[stoic ledge]

🏏

[elder sand]

Yeah that

it's like baseball ig

[stoic ledge]

Baseball with a flat bat and weird rules basically

[elder sand]

yes

Ima go

[stoic ledge]

cya

[fathom socket]

Basically I have 2 cars, but I might flip the toyota

fix the paint on

[stoic ledge]

About this, I went to look at a 2015 Astra K... I actually have slightly more room width-wise in the Corsa as the Astra K

[fathom socket]

Can't really afford to own 2 cars tbh

But I might decided that later on I'll get a 2016+ toyota Hilux with extended cab

[stoic ledge]

Quite an upgrade

[fathom socket]

I guess would be more convenient than a station wagon with a trailer

Going with a new one because emmision class

[stoic ledge]

I'm actually quite intrigued by this picture lol, it's a RHD Opel which I thought was only sold in Ireland... and the "Victoria - The place to be" plates are from Victoria - Australia? Opel's weren't even sold there as far as I know, and also the Corsa D wasn't sold there even under a different nameplate I think?

[stoic ledge]

Get an American pick-up on LPG

[fathom socket]

LPGTQ+

I would need to sell my bodyparts to pay the taxes

[stoic ledge]

The Corsa D was briefly available in Australia under the Opel brand name, rather than as a Holden as the Corsa B and C had previously been, during Opel's short-lived foray into the Australian market. Less than a year after launching, Opel Australia announced it was ceasing operations, removing the Corsa from the Australian market.
I did not know that

For the first time ever, the Opel brand was introduced to Australia on 1 September 2012, including the Corsa, Astra, Astra GTC, and Insignia models. On 2 August 2013, Opel announced it was ending exports to Australia due to poor sales, with only 1,530 vehicles sold in the first ten months.

Damn

[fathom socket]

Maybe I could get hard bed cover

[stoic ledge]

Bed covers do impact bed usability tho, as they usually have a slightly fixed area, especially hard covers

With a hard cover you're probably better off with just a van

[fathom socket]

or maybe something like this

[stoic ledge]

I wonder how that's really more convenient than just a van

[fathom socket]

I want something more heavy duty

and that I could turn it in to a camper If I need

[stoic ledge]

https://www.autoscout24.com/offers/fiat-ducato-28-2-2-multijet-kh1-actual-uniek-geen-motor-en-diesel-orange-94bf3970-739c-441e-b818-6aaaf6e46e31

The perfect solution

[stoic ledge]

By removing whatever is in the bed and dropping in a camper unit?

[fathom socket]

ye

but I also want to use it as a daily car too

[bitter compass]

Because i need it for work, vans are for camping duuuh

[feral reef]

Well that's amazing

[fathom socket]

I want a car for everyting

maybe not racing, but something at least I can take camping, transport heavy stuff and capable going uphill

[stoic ledge]

It's sick right

[stoic ledge]

Ford F650 Super Duty

[bitter compass]

Unimog

[stiff burrow]

You can always take the bed cover off if something doesn’t fit

[fathom socket]

true

[fathom socket]

I don't think that could classify as a passager car

[brittle totem]

Meanwhile my brother have already hade 6 cars since 2019 and he is 23 turning 24 this year.

[fathom socket]

that's like 3 more than me

and I just turned 25

what does he do that he went trough that many?

[brittle totem]

He just get bored of them and and want to try something diffrent. But most of them han been biught under market value with some small issues and he has sold them for a bit of a Profit every time. The car is has hade for the longest is he current abart 595 compatizone that he bought back in july. But he is going to sell it after this summer.

[stoic ledge]

Could've done the same but I don't really have the time to do such thing.... and it's affordable to run, which is/was important as a student

Money I saved I used to invest 😎

[brittle totem]

It worked out for him in the end the money he hade from those BMW was enough for the down payment on his apartment so that one way to save money to. But I guess it way harder to flip 330i in the Netherlands.

[stoic ledge]

Yeah that won't fly here or you must have some really good connections and be able to buy cars at trader prices

Registering it for 2 months your potential profits basically y33t away

The only reason I made any profit on the 118iA I flipped was as I basically sold it already before buying it

And I bought that at trade in price, only reason I made profit

Although that definitely wasn't enough for a down payment lol, I'd need like 10-15-20 of those for that

[civic spoke]

120 liters of fuel used today.

8 hours of driving.

Hmm. Maybe 4,000 sek profit after fuel.

[fathom socket]

car or truck?

[civic spoke]

Would be dang impressive if it was a car.

[fathom socket]

that's what mine consumes

when I got on autobahn 170 kmh

but also you drive smaller truck

would use 120 liters in an hour

[civic spoke]

But yeah. It was the truck.

[fathom socket]

I've seen fuel consumption like 324 litres/100km

[civic spoke]

I usually have to fill up every other day.

I believe that it's a 300 liter tank.

I like having it topped up if possible.

[wispy cloak]

I need more boost

[fathom socket]

I can't even top off mine due to limits on fuel cards

[civic spoke]

Oof.

Single transaction limit?

[charred depot]

2nd BMW ive helped that had run out of fuel, he was trying to push his car while off in 1st gear too.

broke mfers going around on reserves

[feral reef]

That shit never made sense to me

[charred depot]

I never really go below 1/4 tank but thats because often I cant trust my gauges heh

[wispy cloak]

Same

Also getting low on fuel in a diesel is scary

Because if you run out you need to go through and prime all of the injectors and filters

[stoic ledge]

I know how far I can go on a single tank, gauge is sometimes spot on but other times completely random... Just reset the trip fuel meter and go based on that

[stoic ledge]

LPG gauge*

[stoic ledge]

And if it goes on empty... I still have petrol left

Lowest I've gotten it was ~2L left

[charred depot]

305 gauge doesent have enough power to move up if you go below like 1/4 of a tank

just sits at empty below that

you can see how much fuel you have briefly if you hit a pothole though

[stoic ledge]

Why go 1/2 -> 4/4

Why not 1/2 -> 2/2
Or 2/4 -> 4/4
Or 1/2 -> 1

[charred depot]

The amount of people that warn you about speed camera vans here is impressive

cars coming the other way flashing their lights and the truck I was passing was flashing its brake lights

[stoic ledge]

I don't warn people, their risk

[charred depot]

wasnt even speeding

[stoic ledge]

Most accurate fuel level indicator

[misty mantle]

My Ranger: "Laughs in semi-functioning fuel level indicator"

[stoic ledge]

[charred depot]

They were watching over a temporary 40mph construction zone limit with zero construction happening.

[misty mantle]

I recently replaced the fuel filler neck and it won't take fuel either

[wispy cloak]

My truck hovers around half a tank for a few days and plummets from there

It's interesting

[misty mantle]

I think the 2 issues are related considering it took fuel and the level gauge worked with the old filler neck

[stoic ledge]

My petrol gauge is funny, from a certain point, it just goes down a predefined path, it just keeps dropping while driving even though it's using 0 petrol

[wispy cloak]

The fuel gauge in the audi just doesn't work at all

It always says that I have a half tank

[misty mantle]

Talk about owning a gas guzzler

[wispy cloak]

I'm guessing that the float is stuck

[stoic ledge]

But that makes sense, it's intended behavior as it can't properly measure that amount, and the gauge is unaware of the LPG system

[charred depot]

Removing injectors from a modern diesel

[misty mantle]

True. Very fucking true

[stoic ledge]

Corsa

1.3 CDTi?

Cheap ass spec tho

[charred depot]

yes, another company that cant round properly lol

[stoic ledge]

Yeah 1.248cc or whatever?

[charred depot]

mhm

[stoic ledge]

Technically 1.2

[charred depot]

the 1.8 XUD some cars they called it the 1.7 and some cars they called it the 1.8 heh

[stoic ledge]

[charred depot]

same brand

1769cc

[stoic ledge]

Atleast they consistently called it 1.3 here

Even across multiple brands

(Fiat/Alfa Romeo/Suzuki also)

[feral reef]

I usually fill up when the gauge is eteeen 1/4 and 1/2 full

So usually I add about 20 to 25 liters of fuel to my 45 liter tank

[civic spoke]

I usually just fill up my car whenever I barely have range left.

I fill up so that I never have to fill up in the morning before heading to work.

[feral reef]

That's not great for your car

Like it's fine, but it would be better if you left in a little more

[civic spoke]

Because of junk collecting at the bottom? Or pump possibly going dry?

It's normally around 5 liters left when I fill up.

[misty mantle]

Mostly the junk at the bottom, if it makes it through the filters, it'll gum up the carb/injectors

[feral reef]

Yeah, junk is the main reason

[misty mantle]

A carb is easier to clean than most injectors, but you still don't want to run your tank empty

[errant shore]

i had to remove all 8 injectors on an engine once, wasnt fun

[bitter compass]

Ram the forks into it, that's how you deal with an opel

[civic spoke]

All depends on the engine in question.

[errant shore]

Audi 4.2 TDI

[errant shore]

pretty much

[stoic ledge]

[pearl tiger]

le ring

[lunar cypress]

This is from different times of 2022

[dusky torrent]

I like that Flying Spur

This is a hot take. Out of all those cars, I'd take the Flying Spur. Even over the Pista

[deep zealot]

the flying spur will be worth like 1/8th its price in 4 years

[civic girder]

still wild my buddy bought a Lotus

seeing that elise just reminds me of his exige bc same color lol

[wet summit]

id take that purty 4c

[misty mantle]

Where big American V8 pickup truck?

[wet summit]

i miss my truck

[misty mantle]

What was it?

[wet summit]

2007 dakota

laramie, 4wd, 3.7

quad cab

[torn walrus]

ive got a '95 dakota with the 5.2L V8

great trucks

[wet summit]

is 95 a 1g or 2g?

[torn walrus]

still 1st gen, but with the facelift

[wet summit]

i love the 3g but the 3g refresh is awful

[torn walrus]

yeah, i'm not really a fan of them either

still drive nice though

[wet summit]

oh you betcha

im doing a cheat code to add 2 liters and cylinders to mine within the year

[torn walrus]

my first job, tail end of highschool was working at a chrysler dealer so i got to drive lots lol

oh?

[wet summit]

as of right now i have a transmission thats broke

[torn walrus]

oof

[wet summit]

the 42rle is not a good transmission

[torn walrus]

thats a bit of work... are you rebuilding or just replacing it?

[wet summit]

but... its gonna be a getreg or 545rfe

replacing

[torn walrus]

ah

swapping to a manual would be worth it

[wet summit]

im getting a new trans with the hemi so im gonna return the one im getting

[torn walrus]

ah kk

[wet summit]

yeah, i should be able to post updates on the hemi swap soon

[torn walrus]

a hemi in a dakota will sure move

updates would be good to see... what are you doing for control?

[wet summit]

its going to be too much power

[torn walrus]

ie ecu, wiring etc

[wet summit]

ram 1500 ecu and harness

[torn walrus]

youll definitely want a limited slip at least

ah nice so should be a fairly straight forward swap

[wet summit]

yeah i already have 4wd so i should be able to retain it

9.25 3.92 rear end soon

[torn walrus]

thatll be good

planning to race it at all?

[wet summit]

yes and noi

more of racing my buddies

[torn walrus]

ah nice

i did a lot of drag racing in high school

always loved it, looking forward to eventually being able to get back on a track

[wet summit]

well i finally have the money to do it so its reasonably possible

before it was just too damn expensive

[torn walrus]

there was a track not far from my place that you could run in the friday night street legals for around $50

mind you, that was 15 years ago lol

[wet summit]

theres a track near me i have no idea on pricing

[torn walrus]

hmm, be worth checking out if you want to do any racing

[wet summit]

have you seen the cleetus oval racing?

freedom factory

[torn walrus]

how long until you get your hemi and trans?

I havent seen his oval racing but i've seen some of his stuff

[wet summit]

im getting everything within the year i dont really know yet

it should be like a 3 week swap

[torn walrus]

uhg, i know what it's like waiting for parts to do your project

3 weeks isnt bad for a swap like that though

[wet summit]

the worst part is that i have to learn to weld

[torn walrus]

motor and trans mounts?

[wet summit]

swapping the harness ecu engine and trans will be 2 weeks

motor mounts only

[torn walrus]

thats not too bad then

is the ram harness plug and play or do you have to do a lot of homologation of the harnesses?

[wet summit]

id do the entire swap now if i had a truck to pick up the engine and trans

its plug and play with a tin bit of splicing

[torn walrus]

sweet

i'm going to eventually be swapping my ram to 4wd but need to collect the parts first. thats all a bolt in deal though

probably be a year or two

[wet summit]

once the hemi is done my little baby 2.2 in my cavalier is getting boost

a LOT of boost

[torn walrus]

ooo, i love turbos

[wet summit]

supercharger maybe

its gonna be like 300whp

so i have tio change everything

[torn walrus]

I've got a '91 Daytona Shelby with a turbo 2.5L in it, need to dig into it though. It has a lot of bolt ons but developed a miss, and then got stolen and im pretty sure they cracked a ring land

[wet summit]

daytona shelby is badas

ill probably end up with a different engine in my cavalier like a gm 3600

[wet summit]

😩

thats a great shot

[torn walrus]

forged pistons, ported t2 intake manifold, ported exhaust manifold, t3/t4 turbo, +40% injectors, stage 5 cal, massive intercooler, stage 2 or 3 cam, adjustable cam gear, walbro 255l/hr pump, full 3" exhaust, eibach springs, koni shocks and quafe limited slip

[wet summit]

good on ya for building an already boosted engine. much more headroom.

thats a wild car

[torn walrus]

its fun. only drawback is its an 8v head so limited flow in the top end.

oh yeah, the head is actually ported too with oversize valves. i forgot about that lol

but i didnt build it, i bought it like this. but ive been playing with these old turbo dodges for years

lots of torque though... before the miss and getting stolen id guess it was 250-300whp but probably in the neighborhood of 350ft lbs

the cavaliers can be quick too... i remember racing one that had head work done among other things but still n/a back when i had my turbo shadow and it was quick

much faster than a lot of the hondas i raced lol

[wet summit]

ive been shoving dollars into my computer which is unbelievably stupid considering my truck need a trans

i dont have the tools

[torn walrus]

do you have another vehicle?

[wet summit]

my cavalier

i really want to buy a challenger after a while

[timber oar]

Last time i checked

Transmissions are important

[wet summit]

no

[timber oar]

I think at least

[torn walrus]

if thats on the road then not such a big deal if your still working towards getting your truck done

[wet summit]

youre dumb

[misty mantle]

Slightly, yes

[wet summit]

they do nothing

[timber oar]

Lmao

[wet summit]

lmao

[torn walrus]

🤣

[wet summit]

its a reaaaally good car for what i need it to do

i have tio buy tools tmr

[torn walrus]

what do you need?

[timber oar]

I think they take the power from the wheels to turn the engine

[misty mantle]

If you really want to shed a a few hundred pounds, just connect the driveshaft directly to the flywheel

[torn walrus]

might want a clutch in there too lol

[timber oar]

Has anybody ever tried this lmao

That would be full time 4th gear

[misty mantle]

To be honest, I have no idea

[torn walrus]

i wouldnt recommend it. would be the equivalent of always being in 4th

lol

almost like, oh idk, we need gears to get up to speed haha

[wet summit]

delusional

all you need is 1 gear

[torn walrus]

i remember breaking one of my shifter cables in the daytona once, and having to limp it home only having 3rd gear. thankfully it wasn't far and it has the torque to start in 3rd

[timber oar]

Don't top fuel drag cars just have a single use clutch they slip to get up to speed

[torn walrus]

albeit with more clutch slip than i was comfortable with

[wet summit]

yers

[torn walrus]

possibly? idk much about top fuel tbh

[wet summit]

top fuel is the worst motorsport imo

[torn walrus]

not really a fan either, kinda pointless. My preference is racing stuff that is actually street legal

[wet summit]

i like illegally racing street legal cars

[torn walrus]

at least you can drive it and enjoy it other than just once in a while on a track

i guess thats a thing too 🤣

Woah, Dodge is releasting a new Demon for 2023 apparently... 1025hp, 945lbft, 8.91 quarter and 1.66 second 0-60

[wet summit]

i heard it wasnt true

[torn walrus]

https://moparinsiders.com/the-demon-is-back-meet-the-2023-dodge-challenger-srt-demon-170/

[wet summit]

im playing mw2 rn so late replies

[torn walrus]

No worries. I'm playing nfs porsche unleashed rn haha, then probably horizon 5 or American truck sim

[wet summit]

damn horizon 5 sounds like fun rn

[torn walrus]

im in it now

[wet summit]

horizon 5 is one of the games i dont care to setup my wheel for

beamng? of course. asseto? you becha. forza? maybe...

[torn walrus]

i play with a wheel but controller is good too

basically any driving game i use a wheel, normally

[wet summit]

it really depends on the game fr

[torn walrus]

although older driving games i usually use a controller

[wet summit]

i wont for the crew or dirt showdown

[torn walrus]

i use an H shifter so driving games with it are too much fun lol

[wet summit]

i have the g920 shifter

i despise how short it is

[torn walrus]

yeah it'd be nice if it was a bit longer... still better than not having it though

[wet summit]

my cavalier has a fairly long shifter that feels amazing with how much travel you get but my g920 is like an inch long

[torn walrus]

you have basically the same wheel and shifter i do

[wet summit]

they make aftermarket shift knobs

like 40$

[torn walrus]

though i have an attachment that goes under the knob for a range selector and splitter for ATS

doesn't add much length though

[wet summit]

a fucking range selector?

thats BADASS

[torn walrus]

adds 2 toggles, one for range select and another for the splitter so i can simulate a 9, 10, 13 or 18 spd

LOL

yeah i like it

[wet summit]

i do wish i had one, as in beamng in a semi truck i have to switch to paddles above gear 6

[torn walrus]

i still have to do that, beam doesn't support range selector toggles

ATS supports actual toggle switches, beam doesnt

[wet summit]

ok, il have to figure it out, might get a sequential mod

[torn walrus]

rollin a Hemi Cuda in Horizon rn

oh yeah, that'd be sweet

if you like the truck in beam id really suggest checking out American Truck Sim... especially with Zeemods sound mods

[wet summit]

ive seen it before, ill have to see about buying it

[torn walrus]

ive had it basically since release... have all the dlcs for it and some payware truck mods... and all zeemods sound packs

i have way more time in it than i care to admit lol

i love it, great way to relax. grab a load and hit the highway

[wet summit]

i got my wheel for 40 usd so i basically immediately bought all of the games

[torn walrus]

nice

thats a crazy deal for the wheel

[wet summit]

the shifter was 60$

still worth it

[torn walrus]

i think for the set including shifter i was about $350cad

so wheel, pedals and shifter

shifter attachment was about another $40-50cad

[wet summit]

i think the previous owner lost the power cord but other than that it was like new

[torn walrus]

that really is a crazy deal

[wet summit]

literally, no blemishes anywhere i was amazed

[torn walrus]

i bought mine new

[wet summit]

i did them returned it

2 years later i got this one

[torn walrus]

i need to pull the pedals apart and clean the pot for the throttle though

[wet summit]

i took the rubber stopper out of brake pedal

it makes it feel awful but fuck the original feel

you can't get to 100% with it

[torn walrus]

i may do that with mine too, but i do like the effort it takes. only thing is if im on them hard i push myself back in my chair lol

[wet summit]

its absolutely optinion though

that was my issue

[torn walrus]

a lot of games you can adjust the point at which the brakes register 100% though

[wet summit]

i can't use the hooks because my carpet isn't far back

[torn walrus]

so if im having issues i just set so the game registers 100% with the pedal about half in

[wet summit]

so the whole assembly moves and turns and shit

[torn walrus]

ah yeah

[wet summit]

it still has good resistance

[torn walrus]

thats why in my old place i used a dead cdrom drive to hold the pedals from moving backwards lol

[torn walrus]

had it between the back of the desk and pedals... linus comments on it in Tech Hoarders lol

i can reach the bottom with my hand

i had to set the video to 720p because at 4k it gets above the non nitro limit after 1 second

[torn walrus]

yeah, will def have to consider pulling the rubber

[wet summit]

when it stops moving that's the bottom

it doesn't have a lot of travel

[torn walrus]

maybe so but it must be nice to be able to easily use the whole range

[wet summit]

yeah, it kills the realism but i prefer it as opposed to not being able to reach 100% brakes

it also doesn't feel good from what i remember, hitting the rubber was awful

[torn walrus]

meh, maybe im just used to it but i think it feels fairly accurate

maybe a bit stiffer than real but depends what your used to driving too i guess

[wet summit]

yeah its definitely preference

both of my vehicles dont have crazy hard pedals so it feels closer to irl

[torn walrus]

daytona and ram the pedal is stiff and takes a fair bit of effort, dakota otoh is pretty soft

oh yeah, just got the new bumper on this past weekend too

[wet summit]

i wish more games had the first gen ram

[torn walrus]

no kidding

this is my second first gen, but my first diesel

[wet summit]

i want the 2g dakota 5.9 rt in games

its a race truck

[torn walrus]

ah yeah that'd be a beast

actually, the 5.9 should be a drop in in the 1st gen daks too

[wet summit]

i was behind a dually door and a half 2g ram cummins

it was amazing

lifted with some rust

[torn walrus]

could get the 5.9 magnum in 93+ rams

yeah, i def like it. this one is a 5spd too

just dealing with registration though which is a hassle as it's ultimately from an estate sale

ie no paperwork

[wet summit]

farm truck

youre from canada?

[torn walrus]

nah, ill get it done. pretty close actually just waiting on ICBC (provincial insurance)

yeah, in BC

[wet summit]

its not too hard to get the paperwork here

[torn walrus]

just moved up to Salmon Arm in the summer, from Langley

its not really that hard here either, just icbc takes their sweet time

bit of a process but not a hard one

[wet summit]

thats aggravating

[torn walrus]

yeah

very
