cars

[misty imp]

with manufacturers finding the good inbetween, they didn't find the best of both worlds,

they found the worst of both

[sacred yoke]

why would i buy a pagani when the t50 exists

[misty imp]

not really into supercars tbf

but I know for a fact paganis are expensive

[sacred yoke]

me neither, but the t50 is lowkey based

[misty imp]

and lewis hamilton had one and crashed it

[sacred yoke]

three seats, actual manual

[misty imp]

and the same bloke who bought it off from him also crashed it lmfao

[sacred yoke]

plenty of luggage space, more than you'd think

high enough to not need a system to lift itself

and soft enough to be driven daily

[misty imp]

homeboy if you're buying a sports car, you're not looking for practicality

[sacred yoke]

only sus component is the 11k RPM cosworth v12 lol

yeah but the GMA t50 is genuinely a driver's car, not just a garage queen

[misty imp]

if you want something to daily and you're feeling inadequate down in the bottom region, you can buy an m series

[sacred yoke]

its the kind of car i never though i'd see again

[misty imp]

or even an AMG

[sacred yoke]

and probably will never see again

[misty imp]

if you're trying to undercompensate for the log that you've got inbetween your legs

you'd go for a smart car

simple facts of life

[sacred yoke]

3 seats, manual, V12, what more does a man need? https://youtu.be/SoEgR-auxMo

oh did i forget to mention

it's <1ton

986 kg damn

that's on the ballpark of my mr2

except with a gigantic v12

[misty imp]

probably would be 1200+ if any average bloke sat on it

[sacred yoke]

tru

but still

wild that it exists

and glad it does, it's super cool

it's like a better mclaren f1

i can't believe this and the valkyrie are real

[misty imp]

just look at the koenigsegg gemera

it's fucking hilarious

[sacred yoke]

that's too much car i think

[misty imp]

4 seater hypercar

[sacred yoke]

its also heavy as fuck

[misty imp]

that has 2350bhp to boot

now that

[sacred yoke]

but the tech is very cool i admit that

[misty imp]

that is fucking hilarious

that's comedy right there

[sacred yoke]

i like cars with comical quirks

[misty imp]

Fucking absolute pranksters at koenigsegg

[sacred yoke]

it's sad you know, to see that these will be the final good cars

that the GR yaris is where it all ends

or maybe gordon murray's mr2 successor will be good too, who knows

[misty imp]

it wont end with gr yaris

ICE won't totally be bust

[sacred yoke]

he's making a 860 kg mid engined car with 215 hp btw

that's mr2 territory right there

it will also be manual

[misty imp]

meh, mr2 was kinda mid car anyway

[sacred yoke]

he also said it will e around 40k GBP

[misty imp]

with all due respect

[sacred yoke]

i mean, being mid is the point, it's in the name

midship runabout

[misty imp]

mid in a sense that its boring

[sacred yoke]

yeah i know LUL

[misty imp]

would rather drive a more practical corrola GR

[sacred yoke]

with that fuel consumption? nah

[misty imp]

yeah but how good of a fuel consumption do you think an mr2 would have

[sacred yoke]

mine does 6.7 l/100

[misty imp]

what's that in mpg

i'm too tired to convert

[sacred yoke]

us mpg?

[misty imp]

yeag ig

[sacred yoke]

35.11

its a corolla engine

[misty imp]

that's shit

[sacred yoke]

wym that's shit

that's great for a gigantic engine

[misty imp]

I get 50mpg while ragging my 4 banger

[sacred yoke]

the gr corolla does 21 mpg

or 28 highway

[misty imp]

drops to 47 mpg, if im extra ragging it

[sacred yoke]

well yeah, it's an engine from 2000

its quite good for how big it is

[misty imp]

it's a 1.2 4 banger

[sacred yoke]

mine's a 1.8

NA

[misty imp]

anyways good chat, i'm gonna head off to sleep

[sacred yoke]

sure

[misty imp]

mines NA

[sacred yoke]

good night m8

[misty imp]

thanks fella

have a good one

Probably would crash driving to a starbucks to pick up my drink tbf

[sacred yoke]

[misty imp]

that's just life innit

[fathom socket]

1.2 💀

half a two liter displacement goes crazy

[wraith rivet]

does getting a larger crank pulley (+ smaller supercharger pulley so dual pulley setup) increase wear on the accessories?

like alternator water pump a/c and such

would they be able to cope with the higher speeds or would they be off

[hexed kayak]

you cars alternator will make too much voltage and fuck with your shit

[solemn hinge]

I so badly want to completely overhaul my car

Almost cheaper to buy a v8 charger than just the engine

[fathom socket]

What kinda car

[solemn hinge]

Charger ‘06

[fathom socket]

You should get a V8 tbh

Might aswell

[hexed kayak]

they sound good but boy are they slow

[formal horizon]

Honder

[fathom socket]

Very pretty

[eternal cove]

The FJ now has a refrigerator and about two days of power.

[fathom socket]

Fuck that’s awesome

[eternal cove]

I need to take pics once I get thinks closer to finished. Prepping for a cross country road trip.

Would prefer wires not to be everywhere.

[dusky torrent]

clean. i love that rolls

[fathom socket]

You sleeping in there too?

[eternal cove]

Nah, wont have the space since I am putting all of my stuff in there.

[hexed kayak]

This is a better vehicle

[fathom socket]

[hollow pasture]

first project car
1995 honda civic ex coupe with a d16z6 mounted to a 5spd manual

first up is new suspension, and tie rods

[fathom socket]

Don’t forget a 6 inch exhaust and a straight pipe

[hollow pasture]

it's already straight piped with a 4 inch lol

[hollow pasture]

but I'm putting something different on it

most likely a 4-1 with a resonator, instead of the 4-2-1 with a resonator

[fathom socket]

Why

[hollow pasture]

makes the car quieter on low rpm

[fathom socket]

No I mean why straight pipe at all

[hollow pasture]

because why not

[fathom socket]

Everyone in a 10 mile radius hates you that’s why

[hollow pasture]

it's going to be quiet with the 4-1 till about 2500 rpm

[hollow pasture]

it's really not that loud

I've heard louder cars that just had the cat stolen

[fathom socket]

Are you using a cat at least

[hollow pasture]

no shit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQT18oPI9Wk&t=4

I prefer 4-1 because it's a little deeper and not as droney

[fathom socket]

That was painful to watch 😭

[hollow pasture]

hokay

anyways I'm super happy to finally have a project car

and it's my first manual as well

[civic spoke]

The question is.
Will it ever be finished?

[hollow pasture]

the stage 3 clutch is a little but tricky in reverse

[hollow pasture]

yes?

I am able to clock in on my day off at work and work on my car

so every Monday will be dedicated to the car

[fathom socket]

I have a stage 9 clutch

Get on my level

It doesnt even have reverse

Its so aggressive

It adds 900 whp

Clutch alone

Poor, get a stage 69 clutch

[civic spoke]

I'm in 10th gear going 30 kmh

[fathom socket]

The whole stage marketing really took hold huh

[hollow pasture]

the main difference between stages is material used and catch point

[civic spoke]

I see it as amount of effort to make more power.

Stage 1-2 requiring no mods. And then beyond that, that's where you start to require stuff like injectors, or whatever.

[hollow pasture]

yea I didn't buy it because it has a stage 3 clutch

I bought it for $2200

[civic spoke]

"Stage 3 clutch"
Doesn't really say much.

[hollow pasture]

advanced auto

[hollow pasture]

what am I supposed to say I didn't install the part all I know is it's a stage 3 clutch and a lightened flywheel

[fathom socket]

O’reilly better than autozone but that’s not saying a lot

[hollow pasture]

the company i work for owns part of advanced and employees get a huge huge discount there

I'm talking cost with no tax

[civic spoke]

What matter is really just how much torque the clutch can handle.
A lightened flywheel can be nice, too.

But less good for daily driving.

[hollow pasture]

oh yea

she's a bit finicky sometimes

it's gonna take a while

but this is the project

all I have planned for right now is a gasket rebuild, and a new exhaust manifold after the coilovers and tie rods

[civic spoke]

I say, start making it more drivable to start off with.

[hollow pasture]

duh

all it needs for that is new coil overs and inner and out tie rods

I also hate how low it sits

I want to raise it by like an inch and a half maybe 2

[fathom socket]

Excellent

Love a higher ride height tbh

[hollow pasture]

cause I don't like how much stress it's putting on my power steering rack

and I hate riding static to begin with

[fathom socket]

There’s really just not many advantages to static anyway other than looks

[hollow pasture]

I can't even list one

don't get me wrong I want this to be a street car

but I also don't want it to be stupid

a good mix of the 2 is required

[fathom socket]

“It looks cool” is the only one I can think of

[hollow pasture]

the goal is about 345whp single turbo at some point

I'm sitting just under 200 with this tune and setup

[fathom socket]

God damn

[hollow pasture]

she's a rocket ship already

[fathom socket]

Why turbo over a supercharger? No judgement just preferences

[hollow pasture]

that's exactly why

[civic spoke]

I say that if you can get away with a supercharger, then that is the better option. Tbh

[hollow pasture]

also the only supercharger kit worth it for the d16 is 3k vs like $2300 for a full turbo build and tune

[civic spoke]

But I also like linear power.

Turbochargers also have a high cost to them.

[fathom socket]

Same
But at the same time fuck it, was just curious

[hollow pasture]

ye I'd prefer a supercharger but it's not in the budget lol

[civic spoke]

N/A is still great. Tbh

[hollow pasture]

gotta build within my means yknow

[civic spoke]

Especially if you have 200 hp

[hollow pasture]

dude I've never been in a N/A civic that can chirp the tires on a roll

[fathom socket]

NA is cool too
If I could get 200hp NA out of my miata I’d be a very happy camper

[hollow pasture]

let alone in the roll and from 2nd to 3rd

4th chirps a little bit but not as bad as 2nd to 3rd

[hollow pasture]

I think if I were to keep it N/A I'd chuck velocity stacks on it and say fuck it who needs a filter when you can just S U C C

[fathom socket]

Yea fr
For now though, leaving everything stock as it’s my daily

[hollow pasture]

I mean this is my daily

only a project car when I'm off work lol

[fathom socket]

Fair enough

[charred depot]

Just get some 20 year old tyres sorted

[misty mantle]

Try driving on severely flat-spotted tires on a truck you just revived

[charred depot]

Been in loads of stuff with ancient tyres, they usually fall apart pretty quickly on the motorway though.

On a 500 mile journey and coming back we didnt even realise the tyre was going flat and coming apart it had been that shit throughout the entire journey.

only when the cords started whacking fuck out the side of the car

[fathom socket]

amazon

[misty mantle]

Only tire I've every destroyed was a wagon tire that I had underinflated like a dumbass. Found out that it shredded itself after it went flat again after I had that wagon full of wood and was towing it with my ATV. Wagon was really wobbily

[fathom socket]

stfu or ill blow you, you bald head ass mf

[misty mantle]

Not that bad, tbh. Got a clutch and flywheel from Orileys before for my bronco

[fathom socket]

mr clean that mouth you kiss your mother with

Id still kiss your dad

[charred depot]

Ive still held onto these wheels, god forbid I ever have to use them again

still pretty good but no grip in them

[dull cedar]

those are a danger to you and anyone else around you when they fail to grip the road

[wispy cloak]

My audi is still on bald tires that are date coded 2003

[charred depot]

The car I had them on had a really old ABS system and anytime coming to a mild stop BRBRB BRRRRRRRRRR

I only swapped them out as the engine mount broke making controlling the wheelspin impossible.

[misty mantle]

When you pay for the whole tire, you use the whole tire

[wispy cloak]

The funny thing is that I didn't even pay for the tires

[dull cedar]

this is the sort of shit that made people think the viper and cgt are dangerous

[wispy cloak]

This is also why I don't drive the audi in the rain

[misty mantle]

Indeed

[dull cedar]

shouldn't be driven AT ALL on those tyres

[boreal sleet]

is this worth buying 😅 its a 1986 w124 estate 😍

[charred depot]

Id never drive with illegal tyres as the punishment here is 3 points per tyre.

12 points to lose your license : )

[wispy cloak]

We don't have that here

[misty mantle]

Depends. Do you want to be stuck with a car that is expensive as fuck to repair? /s

[wispy cloak]

You can get a fix it ticket for tires but that's about it

And they have to pull you over for something else

[boreal sleet]

I always loved the old school benz looks, but no idea how much they cost to repair and such haha

[charred depot]

They do just random vehicle roadworthyness inspections all the time here

[dull cedar]

that's convienient, a whole set of old tyres makes you lose your license

[charred depot]

"no thank you"

[wispy cloak]

I don't think any of my vehicles would be roadworthy in that case

[charred depot]

Im only really worried about "rust which could cause injury"

[misty mantle]

Tbh, I couldn't tell you exactly how much it would cost to repair one of these. I'm american and only own old Fords

[wispy cloak]

Emissions delete, bad brakes, and some slop in the steering on my f350

[charred depot]

dont tire yourself out over it

[wispy cloak]

Bad tires on the audi

And nothing else is registered right now

[misty mantle]

The death wobble is standard. Comes with it from the factory

[charred depot]

Annoyingly straight pipes are illegal here regardless of the actual noise output

A straight pipe on a turbo diesel makes like a whistle

[wispy cloak]

No death wobble actually

Steering damper is fine

[charred depot]

Legally has to have atleast 1 silencer box even if it does nothing

[misty mantle]

I missed the /s when I wrote that, lmao

Here in Cali, as long as it has lights and passes smog, its legal

[civic spoke]

Eco tires.

[misty mantle]

No fucking kidding

[hollow pasture]

still fun

[charred depot]

Because my cars take such narrow wheels its always eco this eco that

normal please

[hollow pasture]

it's not full break of the tires just a quick chirp when upshifting

[civic spoke]

You can sometimes have more fun with Eco tires with poor grip, than with high performance tires.

But I still rather have higher performance tires, cause I like going fast through corners.

[misty mantle]

Front tires on my ATV are nearly bald. Do I give a shit? no

[charred depot]

I like having garbage tyres for in town driving as the rear will kick out on FWD stuff.

[civic spoke]

I feel like you should be able to fight that with the rental company for providing you a vehicle that wasn't road legal.

[misty mantle]

My dad had to install the front plate mount on his '23 bronco when he first got it because it wasn't installed from the factory, and I'm pretty sure the dealer charged for that chunk of plastic with some holes in it. Had to drill holes in his brand new front bumper.

[charred depot]

Drivers responsibility this and that probably usually the way it goes here : /

[misty mantle]

Officer that pulled you over was probably having a bad day

I see cars w/o front plates all the time

Even though they are required here in Cali

Rip

[civic spoke]

Oh, this reminds me. I looked up what I thought was a heavy light duty box truck. That you can still drive with a normal car license here in Europe.

The vehicle had a total weight, or GVWR of 3,500 kg. Which is normal. The max for a normal car license here.

[charred depot]

You can drive them here as long as they are plated to 3.5 tonnes which makes them functionally useless but people just "overweight" them all the time

[civic spoke]

But the kerb weight was 3,160 kg. Meaning that it couldn't even load 400 kg.

[charred depot]

same with alot of recovery trucks here, they are illegal.

[civic spoke]

It's a bit different with recovery truck, I think. Unless you mean flatbeds.

[charred depot]

They are always "overweight" here

usually a transit with a bed fabricated from steel which leaves you such a small amount of weight leeway for modern cars.

[misty mantle]

Oddly specific

[civic spoke]

26,000 lbs or lower.

Higher, then you require a higher license.

[misty mantle]

You can still haul quite a bit with a class C here

[civic spoke]

I'm able to load around 15.5 tonnes on my truck.

[misty mantle]

As long as its secured correctly

All they really care about

[civic spoke]

The higher weights you're able to drive in USA is why they have hotshot drivers.

With a truck + gooseneck trailer.

Gooseneck trailers aren't really a thing here in Sweden.

Since you go over the weight limits, etc.

So it makes more sense to just get a proper truck for the jobs.

[charred depot]

We have a decent amount of scales built into motorway's and whatso to help catch overweight stuff

[misty mantle]

Probably because you don't really have the pickups to tow them. A lot of times you can hook them to a semi as well though

[civic spoke]

We do have them. But they are expensive, and the weight limits we have don't make sense for us to use one.

[charred depot]

fines will cover that heh

[misty mantle]

Your tax/fine dollars at work

[civic spoke]

Tbh. Having a large truck for hauling goods makes so much more sense here in Sweden and Europe in general. At least if you're doing multi-day trips.

With how you can just have a tractor unit, or a normal truck with a sleeper.

Instead of having to find somewhere to sleep.

Even the dump truck I have has a sleeper.

[misty mantle]

We have day-cabs as well as 2 different sleeper options on the majority of semis sold here in North America

[civic spoke]

The conventionals don't fly here tho. Cabover is where it's at.

[charred depot]

Didn't realise they were getting this strict already heh

[misty mantle]

Your roads cant really handle our long-nose trucks anyway

[civic spoke]

A friend of mine saw this. Which is a bit of a ???

[stoic ledge]

Oh yeah if your AdBlue is empty, you can't drive

[civic spoke]

Yeah. Which is why they don't fly here.

[stoic ledge]

Similar with Eolys additive

[misty mantle]

Comically smol "trailer"

[civic spoke]

Someone I know tested it.

[stoic ledge]

Peugeot owners being happy their car doesn't have AdBlue until they realize they need to change the Eolys pouch

[civic spoke]

Technically just a truck. Since they attached the container to a 5th wheel mount thing?

[misty mantle]

Couldn't they just program a limp mode instead of a full on no-start?

[civic spoke]

They want to look like a cop.
And pretend to have authority.

[charred depot]

I hate eveyone that has boring colour volvo's and BMW's here.

[civic spoke]

It warn you plenty early. You just need to know what it means.

[charred depot]

ffs get something vibrant so I can telll you arent unmarked heh

[civic spoke]

Silver.

[stoic ledge]

As it's then considered not complying with environmental rules and an environmental delict, it's not legal to move hence it won't start

[civic spoke]

Then again. My car is 20+ years old.

[stoic ledge]

But ngl, they bug you like 1000+km ahead so just add it at your next refuel

Filling it once and you can go 20-30k km again

[misty mantle]

Damn. Our emissions regulations allow a limp mode until the def tank is refilled

[stoic ledge]

For many things yes, but not for AdBlue

[civic spoke]

Not to mention that you can easily just find a truck pump and fill up with adblue there.

No need to get a bottle of it.

[stoic ledge]

Some cars have their AdBlue fill under the cargo floor tho, very convenient

[stoic ledge]

Yeah basically every station has it

[misty mantle]

The majority of truck stops and auto parts stores here carry adblue

[civic spoke]

Filling up with bottles is just crap.

[stoic ledge]

Eolys pouches are a bit harder to swap tho, need to access it from the bottom And ofc, it's all plastics

[misty mantle]

That basically just adblue in a hard-to-replace pouch?

I've seen literally 1 hybrid truck, and it was a cateye silverado

[civic spoke]

I just checked on my fuel usage over the last three years.

I have paid close to 100,000 SEK fueling up my E46.

[stoic ledge]

Not really, it's an additive which is automatically added to the fuel to reduce soot particles iirc

I think there are even cars with both Eolys ánd AdBlue

[misty mantle]

https://tenor.com/view/disgustang-disgusting-disgusteng-havinashet-shet-gif-12520181

[stoic ledge]

But the Eolys lasts like 120k km so it's not that annoying

[civic spoke]

So it's a pre-treatment? Instead of post-treatment?

[stoic ledge]

Basically

[civic spoke]

[stoic ledge]

I think it was also a thing used more before AdBlue was a thing

[misty mantle]

Couldn't they just add it into the fuel when they make the fuel instead of having it in a separate pouch that has to be replaced every hundred thousand kilometers or so?

[stoic ledge]

I really have no idea

Apparently it's not something every diesel car had

Mostly Peugeot's and those using the same engine

[misty mantle]

https://tenor.com/view/understandable-have-nice-day-have-a-great-day-have-a-good-day-nice-gif-20850110

[stoic ledge]

The famous FAP HDI engines, hoping I won't get censored for that as it's literally the name they gave it

Oh it's ok, good

I think it's maybe also only required in certain conditions, such as when the particle filter is being regenerated? Idk

A friend of mine had it on a Citroen DS 3 1.6 e-HDI, if it's empty it tells you in the driver display it might harm/clog the particle filter

~110k km

[misty mantle]

Laughs in sawzall
Cant harm or clog the particle filter if it aint there 😈 /s

[stoic ledge]

Fact

[civic spoke]

Probably there to aid it not clogging up? Idk

[stoic ledge]

https://youtu.be/87naJsApSWc

It's not too bad if you have lift

[civic spoke]

I would really love an EV truck

[stoic ledge]

Likely

[misty mantle]

The amount of times I've wished I had a lift I cant even count. Nearly said life lmao

[civic spoke]

If you're fine with not being able to remove the wheels. Then just have a ramp to drive onto.

Or dig a hole that you can drive over.

[stoic ledge]

Heh very understandable, I'm pushing for a friend to buy a lift so I can steal it

[misty mantle]

I've got 2 bottle jacks, a floor jack, and 4 jack stands.

Need to grab the ramps my grandpa has

And probably that old floor jack he has and reseal it so it actually works

[dull cedar]

can confirm, doing things without a lift sucks. especially trying to weld things to the frame of a pickup while it's barely higher that ride height

[misty mantle]

Try doing a clutch in a 4WD without a lift.

Speaking from experience here, its hell

[dull cedar]

eh, we did it without a lift. wasn't as annoying as doing the welding

[misty mantle]

Funniest typo today

[dull cedar]

shhh

[charred depot]

Imagine not having a lift :^)

[stoic ledge]

Bruh to change tires I already need to steal my brothers jack

[charred depot]

I always have a hydraulic jack in my boot among other things

[stoic ledge]

But you own a French car, that's different

runs

[charred depot]

Ive never really had to use it on any of my cars heh

my tow rope jack and stuff is usually for other peoples sake

Unrivalled towing service

[misty mantle]

The hell happened lmao

Ah.

[fathom socket]

bruh

[hexed kayak]

what in the shit is that

[charred depot]

one of the standard vans on oorope

[hexed kayak]

that thing is really gonna stop driving in 200miles cause the emissions system is having a fit?

@charred depot

[charred depot]

probably

[hexed kayak]

burn that car to the ground

[charred depot]

just fix it or dont buy moderns :^ |

[hexed kayak]

modern vehicles are a shit show

my gf totalted her car and they gave her a rental Passat. every single stop light that thing would make noises and try to turn the parking assist on because it though the stop lines were a parking spot

[fathom socket]

Tbf it’s a vw

[misty mantle]

Das Auto

[hexed kayak]

[empty valve]

Whats yalls opinion on the 2010 audi a3 with the 160hp 1,8Tfsi?

For my first car

Expensive golf

[empty valve]

Golf has a reputation over here in germany

[fathom socket]

You’re wrong

[empty valve]

I work at volkswagen and i still would never drive a golf

[fathom socket]

Good thing audi is just vw in a suit

[empty valve]

Listing price is 4.8k with 120k km down

[supple anchor]

Golf’s are kinda cool

[empty valve]

Audi is test piggy

[hexed kayak]

A cheap one at that

Off the rack

[supple anchor]

Doesn’t show the 10 k you have to dump for repairs

[empty valve]

Yes but over here they have a reputation that the driver is always a pedo

[fathom socket]

Bruh what

Ain’t no fuckin way

[supple anchor]

You’re a pedo @empty valve?

[empty valve]

Completely running last Tüv 2 months ago and all checks done at audi

That means literally nothing

[empty valve]

My gf is 22

If anything i like older women

[supple anchor]

Bruh

[fathom socket]

I’m so fucking confused how this logic makes any sense

[supple anchor]

In America that would be illegal

[empty valve]

Golf gti is just called pedo car in germany

That’s not cap, that’s a whole ass sombrero

[empty valve]

For 4.8k its cheaper and more reliable than a 1996 civic with 300k down for 3k

[fathom socket]

Who said anything about a 30 year old civic

[empty valve]

"Cheap"

[supple anchor]

Best first car 💪💪💪

[fathom socket]

Sounds like cope and goalpost moving

[empty valve]

True but i want abs 😂😂😂

[stoic ledge]

Any modern diesel with AdBlue (or similar) does that due to regulations

[supple anchor]

Abs is for people that can’t drive

[stoic ledge]

Ngl, AdBlue costs like €10 to fill the tank and then you can drive again for a year

[fathom socket]

Active Bitch Syndrome RAHH!!!

[empty valve]

Sounds like something i could have

[supple anchor]

And in that car there’s no need for tcr lol

[empty valve]

No need for anything even the steering wheel is optional

[fathom socket]

I’m just shitposting
I’ll take all the assists

[empty valve]

Just drive lmao

[hexed kayak]

Throw it away

[stoic ledge]

Probably what manufacturers want, AdBlue empty = throw away and get a new car

[hexed kayak]

Throw away the adblue system

[fathom socket]

Go electric or bust

[stoic ledge]

Some cars literally have it under the boot floor, have fun adding it when you've loaded all gear

[stoic ledge]

I bet the car won't operate, and if it will it'll fail the first inspection

[wraith rivet]

did something change lol I don’t see it

[supple anchor]

You don’t?

Fancy new seat covers

This screams afterthought

[stoic ledge]

Peak French design

[charred depot]

I was about to buy a Citroen BX and double checked the insurance on it before

£1500/y uwotm8

The same quote for a 305 with zero no claims is £400

[stoic ledge]

Kek

[charred depot]

My top spec TZD Turbo BX was like £650

I don't get it

Really I am just as much of a liability in any of the XUD powered PSA vehicles, its not like repairability comes into it as they will just immediately write any of them off.

Bit annoying.

[wispy cloak]

Def is stupid

Hate it so much

[sacred yoke]

guys it's so over

gordon murray cancelled the mr2 2

he was making an affordable sports car but his partner (yamaha) changed hands and now they don't want to do it unless its an EV
but then it wouldn't be 890 kg like he wanted so he cancelled it
:(

[fathom socket]

Let’s be real that shit was never going to happen

[hexed kayak]

Just bought a new toy

54k km

16 years old

[misty mantle]

Ah yes, a chevy cobalt

[fathom socket]

Connect a motor to the transmission then cowards

[misty mantle]

For your gf

[hexed kayak]

Yup

Just did the transfer today

I have to deal with 3 of the things now

[misty mantle]

rip lmao

I doubt this one is gonna be stock for much longer

[hexed kayak]

Most likely the only thing its gonna get is a second set of wheels for winter tires and an upgraded sound system

[stoic ledge]

Is it at least a manual?

[hexed kayak]

sadly no.

[stoic ledge]

🥲

[hexed kayak]

4spd go brr

[stoic ledge]

What's it then, 2.4L I4 N/A?

[hexed kayak]

2.2

[stoic ledge]

Ah they came also with a 2.2

[hexed kayak]

base was only 2.2 n/a ss/sport (different depending on year) got the 2.4 and the boosted ss got 2 different 2l motors also depending on year

im now only missing a 2.4 car and ill have all the motors

[stoic ledge]

4th car soon

[hexed kayak]

it will be the 5th

[hexed kayak]

i have the s60 as well

[misty mantle]

My dad has had every engine that the '93 through '11 Ford Rangers got

His '97 Ranger he got when he was still with his part of the family back in Kentucky, The explorer sport trac that he gave my mom after she sold her canyon, I think the '13 Explorer she traded the Sport Trac in for had one of them, and then the '97 that was gonna be mine but then the Bronco II happened

Think his old Ranger is still on the road over there with whoever bought it when he sold it

[versed fern]

do wheels really depreciate that much

800 euro for a set of speedline prodrive pff7s with tires

[fathom socket]

Wear and tear is 100% a factor

[versed fern]

the thing is at least the ones that are shown look immaculate

I'll post the listing idk if it'll be visible if not I'll send screenshots

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1015984116078000/

[hexed kayak]

Those tires are like 3 months from being at the wear markers

[fathom socket]

Which indicates poor maintenance or they were driven hard

[hexed kayak]

really hard lol

i put my front indy 500s through 10 hours of abuse on woodward ave and 2700km of driving in 4 days and they are barley lower than the rear indy 500s tread

and not much lower than when i left

[fathom socket]

Ship turbo moment

[lucid orbit]

That's what it is ?

I thought it was for those trucks in cobalt mines

This thing

[fathom socket]

Could be who knows

But we do have turbos that big on our ships

[carmine summit]

nah those turbos arent that big

[stoic ledge]

@charred depot same thing was just recommended to me on FB

Although uncertain what they meant by "our solution to combat the issue"

Unless it's just replacing the Eolys bag xP

[civic spoke]

Reminds me of how I ended up watching a bunch of dpf diags and repairs

[lyric tide]

my bicycle needs this

[lucid orbit]

How would it work though

[wraith rivet]

hold on

if the emissions are weird it’ll prevent you from driving the car? am I getting that right

[lyric tide]

just stick it on the wheel

[lyric tide]

a little more 💀

bros trying to turbo charge the titanic

[formal horizon]

Mr & gr

[civic spoke]

The emissions control is required to be legal. So if they are malfunctioning, then you're not legal.

Then they will just put a stop to you.

[vocal mural]

Something stupid leftist thing, better to build engines that last (like the T4 TDI 5 cilinder ) than 3 cilinder Up engine that needs turbo to get decent power.

FIAT 500 engines sound like lawnmowers

[hexed kayak]

Can confirm

New cobalt go brrr

Much better vehicle than this bus

[stoic ledge]

Uhm so if a certain emissions related fuel is empty, yes you can't start the car anymore

Not specifically weird emissions, that'll usually just throw a code

But if Eolys or AdBlue is empty, then yes you can't start it

[vocal mural]

From 4 down to 3 and now 2 cilinders.

Cant drive cause you ran out of piss

It notifies you over 1000km ahead

Shouldn't be a Problem

Our passat notfies when it like 1500km left to empty and you can refill it at nearly every gas station.

[civic spoke]

I wonder what kind of airflow those even need.

[fathom socket]

A fuckload

[eternal cove]

Only thing that will get your car to accelerate with the subs you have in the trunk.

[fathom socket]

Boost in 3.7 years

[eternal cove]

10 year old you would.

I can already hear the license plate rattle.

[fathom socket]

The MK5 isn’t

[misty mantle]

More like 3.7 decades

[timber oar]

I don't get why people make subs dim their fking tail lights for example

They don't need to hit that hard to sound good

[misty mantle]

Not a big enough battery for the amp

[fathom socket]

It’s not about good it’s about loudness

[misty mantle]

No kidding.

[fathom socket]

Another fuse won’t do anything
The battery doesn’t have enough power to supply everything, period
Same with the alternator
There’s a reason professionals doing crazy builds change out batteries and alternators for more powerful ones

[timber oar]

No that wasn't my point at all

You just don't have the sub cranked like that

That's utterly ridiculous

The builds my friends have done just make up for the lack of low frequency because of road noise

Doesn't come anywhere near overwhelming the electrical system

[misty mantle]

My dad had gotten a rental Nissan Altima a few years back because his truck was in the body shop, the headlights on it would literally brighten up as you revved the engine because the alternator that it had from the factory was too small

[topaz vessel]

This was pretty common in 90s economy cars.

[misty mantle]

This was a new one at the time, like 2019 new

[topaz vessel]

Rental fleets are kind of notorious for being in ill repair.
I'm not saying it's not possible, but an Altima is up market enough that I would not expect it to be engineered that badly.

A Chevy Spark on the other hand... Or the Nissan Versa, maybe...

But even then I'd be a little surprised.

[hexed kayak]

sounds like the old alt on my first cobalt ss. it was going out so i had to stay above 3k rpm to keep my lights bright enough. 5 mins from home the alt munched its bearings

[supple anchor]

How much

[misty mantle]

At least it failed 5 minutes from home instead of 5 miles from home

[misty mantle]

He meant the Miata will fit in it

[hexed kayak]

so does mashed potatoes

I mean... there are a LOT of things that work with this, fluid dynamics and all that.

Juat 🍞 Tips.

Yes.

[fathom socket]

3.7 decades later

Good thing the interiors vary widly

Our GT4 is nice

[hexed kayak]

yeah the car didnt run after that happened though

cons of your power adder running off the drive belt

[misty mantle]

Supercharged?

[hexed kayak]

yup

[misty mantle]

Sweet

I'm sure if you let it run long enough the computer would probably change the tuning to act like the supercharger isn't there, but that would be bad

I would hate to be the guy changing that alternator

[hexed kayak]

Fairly easy to get to once you pull the supercharger off

Its the belt tensioner that is an unholy nightmare

[misty mantle]

Sideways engine issues

[fathom socket]

I wonder if I could have an NA tune done for more power out of my miat

[hexed kayak]

You need cobalt ss

[wet summit]

cobalt junk ss

[misty mantle]

Is that a fart can on a cobalt I hear?

[hexed kayak]

thats stock

[misty mantle]

Stock fart can

[hexed kayak]

You should hear how bad supercharged cars sound with a worn out stock exhaust

[misty mantle]

you miss-spelled good

[hexed kayak]

You sure?

[misty mantle]

Genuenly sounds good to me

[hexed kayak]

See a doctor

[wraith rivet]

ah gotcha

[hexed kayak]

I put a fb marketplace special on the car

[misty mantle]

I imagine it happens at the worst times too

[timber oar]

I got a Napa replacement alternator for my 4runner, as I was driving the voltage gauge started going apeshit and I kept getting charge warnings. When I got home I saw a random bolt they left in it when they rebuilt it and it was shorting a stator coil to the housing

Glowing bright orange I might add

[misty mantle]

rip lmao

[timber oar]

Needless to say I took it back and was like WTF. They gave me another one 😂

Also had the voltage regulator go out on my goldwing, had to find that out the hard way

Bikes don't seem to have no-charge warnings

[misty mantle]

battery died and wouldn't start?

[fathom socket]

Not a chevy person personally
Far too many bad experiences

Idgaf what other people drive though

[timber oar]

Nah my gauges and lights just got dimmer and dimmer

And eventually the ignition failed too

So I coasted it into a gas station

[charred depot]

I had a voltage regulator go on my 305 so was charging at fucking megavolts destroying my battery

hissing and leaking

[timber oar]

Mine just output nothing at all

[charred depot]

Other than that caused no issues as no fancy electrics

[fathom socket]

Avg alternator L

[timber oar]

I pulled it apart and tested continuity on the stator coils and rotor coil

Rotor coil brushes, etc

All was fine

[charred depot]

I have loads of PSA alternators so just swapped it out quickly, takes 4 minutes vernice

Spoilt for room sometimes, go to do something on a modern car and am like aint no way I have to remove all this.

[misty mantle]

Had the voltage ragulator die on my dads tractor because of a mouse nest, had the battery slowly die a little per start before it finally didn't have enough juice to crank that little 3-cylinder diesel

[timber oar]

Ironically harder to swap alternators on the goldwing compared to that 4runner

[timber oar]

Oh yeah you a transverse mount setup

GG

[misty mantle]

Harder to do a alternator on any bike or atv, really, because its in the engine case behind the clutch and flywheel

[timber oar]

It's right on the side on the goldwing

[hexed kayak]

install a magneto

[timber oar]

Just has a frame rail behind it that makes sliding it out of the case or getting to it's connections annoying

[misty mantle]

Engine is fully exposed on both sides on this beaut

[timber oar]

👍

[misty mantle]

Don't even need to really take any plastics off to do maintenance, though this is a shaft drive, so I would have to pull the engine to do a clutch or get at any of the internals anyway

But its a honda, so I shouldn't have to get at the internals. Got 129000 miles on it and still going strong with regular maintenance.

With my dads '20 Honda Foreman, you gotta pull the entire center plastic just to do a oil filter. Doesn't even come with a factory backup pull start like mine did.

[hexed kayak]

i hate any vehicle where removing parts is needed for an oil change

only thing you should have to unsscrew is the drain plug and oil filter

[misty mantle]

Its understandable if its just like a engine cover, but anything more than that is just stupid

[hexed kayak]

all the charge pipes and the airbox had to come off my gfs 500l to get to the filter cover

my s60 the oil filter and drain plug are 3in from each other and on my cobalts a 34mm socket and extention is all you need to get to the filter

[brittle totem]

🇸🇪 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHBR5nWIhAs 🇸🇪

[brittle totem]

You can even option it with a carbon fiber roof racks and carbon fiber skibox 😎

All that and it still weights less then a Bugatti Chiron😂

[timber oar]

100 percent agree

[solar rapids]

Jeez, that's dumb.

[wraith rivet]

only other thing I have is just the undercarriage protecting shield thing

just a few screws and it comes off and reveals the drain plug and filter

[hexed kayak]

i hate those too. they dont protect shit

and the one on the tuscan i had was 26 bolts to take off

[wraith rivet]

🤷‍♂️ I noticed a lot of scrapes on mine

idk from what lol but it did something

[charred depot]

sump protection?

MOT center parking

punctured on one of the parking space locks

Haven't seen an Xsara in years

[charred depot]

This specific car has tailgated me hard on the A92 in heavy traffic which I feel bad for remembering

Need a Xsara / 306 hdi to make a 305 into a hdi so I should probably buy it.

Although I really cant be fucked dealing with anymore engine swaps at the moment especially involving smelectrics

Its too horrible to be hanging around my yard for a few months.

@misty imp what do u think

[misty imp]

wheres your degreaser

and your iron cleaner

[wraith rivet]

i have degreaser and wheel cleaner

im gonna sand entire wheel to get old crusty paint off so idk if iron remover specifically is necessary

+rims are aluminum

@misty imp

[misty imp]

It would be you don't want contaminants getting into your paint layers

so best to clean it off

also iron remover should be on your wheel cleaner tbf

[wraith rivet]

i'll hit it with some dish soap first, then royal purple, then the actual wheel cleaner

rinsing in between of course

As someone else said.
The new GT is just an SL with a roof.

[fathom socket]

Hot take
Fuck moonroofs, they take away too much headroom

[hexed kayak]

i loose 1/2 an inch of headroom by having one in my cobalt ss

and a dome light

[fathom socket]

We had an 09 corolla with a sunroof (weird) and my partner’s head (5’7”) was touching the roof
I fucking hated that car

Considering I exclusively drive small cars, headroom is important

[hexed kayak]

did he consider lowering the seats?

[fathom socket]

You couldn’t in that car. It was forward and backward that’s it

[hexed kayak]

all cars ive had you can drop the seats by 6in with a handle

[fathom socket]

That thing was just fucking weird
XLE with cloth seats, moon roof, navigation, no cruise control, “premium” sound system

Whoever ordered it was an idiot

[hexed kayak]

a sociopath ordered that car

[fathom socket]

And didn’t maintain it. We bought it at 70k miles and it blew the engine gaskets at 80k, despite us doing extensive maintenance

[hexed kayak]

what year was it

[fathom socket]

Ironically I’ve never had a toyota that wasn’t a piece of shit

[fathom socket]

09

[hexed kayak]

rip i though it would have been something like an 01 that was parked for 6 years and all the rubber dried out

[fathom socket]

09 blew gaskets at 80k miles, 16 blew timing chain at 42k miles, 20 camry infotainment completely failed at 7k miles

Yet our crosstour is bulletproof

[hexed kayak]

this is why i keep buying cobalts

not a single one i have ever owned has given me major issues

and i had ones from 0 miles to 300k miles

like my 400hp cobalt ss has 4x as many km on it as the basemodel i just bought

both are flawless cars

[fathom socket]

Supercharger

[fathom socket]

Ironically the BMW we had made it to 100k miles without a single problem

Traded it in because lol it’s a 100k mile BMW

[hexed kayak]

i doubt the next owner had a similar expirence hitting 110k

[fathom socket]

Probably not
But we did impeccably maintain it

[hexed kayak]

bmws arent really that bad

they are just bought by people who are rich enough to buy them and too poor to own them

[fathom socket]

Exactly
It was just a 328 though so a simple turbo 4 banger

Thing had a shitload of interior rattles though

More than my miata does

[fathom socket]

sometimes I wish America got on the wagon market a while back i’d much rather have them then whatever crossovers and giant “mid-sized” SUVs these companies are pumping out

Ok?

[fathom socket]

makes my car feel more special than it actually is lmao

I understand the crossovers honestly.
Our roads are really trash where we live and it’s a fairly wealthy area

my acura’s a fwd which is the only problem I have with it honestly but it’s a super fun car to drive

Meh no one does FWD better than honda so enjoy it

vtec in it goes hard on highways

[fathom socket]

here are two other problems with it 🫤

at least it’s not the whole hood that’s been faded

yeah

it’s a clear coat scratch iirc

maybe deeper

Avg 00s-10s honda clearcoat failure

it most likely is it’s a different layer when i rub my finger against it

i may do the repair myself a shop was charging 2k for it but the car’s only worth 7,900

yeah, that’s true, i took it to calliber

[fathom socket]

For the damage or paint?

[fathom socket]

total repair (there’s a similar damage on the other side)

hmm sounds interesting

wonder if California trade schools do that

[hexed kayak]

Resisting the urge to buy 3 cars in 1 week

[fathom socket]

300k km on that hhr

That turbo is ready to pop, they already had bad luck before

[hexed kayak]

i have a 35k km drivetrain in my storage unit and a bunch of turbos

i could make it work

that white cobalt is uber rare though

its one of the only colors with no available production numbers and was only offered for 1 year

people esimate less than 150 of them exist

[formal horizon]

Mpg so good, you almost forget it makes 100hp per cylinder

[hexed kayak]

basically exactly what im doing

i averaged 34mpg in my cobalt ss driving to and home from the woodward dream cruise and its a 400hp 4cyl

200hp per litre

[misty mantle]

Just cement off one of the cylinders in a 4-cylinder. Boom, 3 cylinder 😈

[plucky flame]

Remove the injectors and spark plugs

Whatre they gonna do about it? Show me a little light on the dash?

I rent a unit this isnt my home heh

My home garage cant even fit a car but thats UK garages for you

Max length of like 4.18m

[misty mantle]

My grandparents garage barely fits a '13 Ford edge with all the stuff my grandparents have in there

[charred depot]

Can barely get out even in old cars, moderns are nono

My garage fits a Bronco Sport AND 2 ATVS, as well as all our tools and everything else thats in there

Not that bad

I like how you keep all your wrenches in the drawer organized, but the top is a mess

My box in a nutshell

I need to get a few more Milwaukee packout boxes

[charred depot]

The work table

[hexed kayak]

i did this once. i had a coil die and my car wouldnt stay running on 3cyl for some reason so i pulled the i plugs and injectors off the dead cyl and cyl 1 so it would run the correct firing order for a 2cyl

[misty mantle]

Half the pistons = half the power

[hexed kayak]

it only made 140hp on 4

[misty mantle]

I'll get a pic of my part of the garage when I get home

[hexed kayak]

it worked well though it was gutless but ran smooth till i got to a parts store

[charred depot]

My storage area

[wispy cloak]

Do I win the garage competition

[charred depot]

Not enough mess

[wispy cloak]

Oh god

You haven't seen the loft

[misty mantle]

Missing the F-350

But I think your mowers outnumber your cars/trucks

[wispy cloak]

I have more mowers than I remember

At least 15

[misty mantle]

Hol up, is that a Foxbody 'stang next to the fire truck?

[wispy cloak]

Yeah

[charred depot]

Weve had a car inside before but you have to do a billion point turn under the lift to get through these pillars

[wispy cloak]

I moved it for the mowers

The geo is also in there

[hexed kayak]

i need a geo

[misty mantle]

The crapsman just a parts machine?

Shitty internet?

[hexed kayak]

makes me wonder what my place is made of

[misty mantle]

Meh, could use an engine

[hexed kayak]

i get full wifi signal in the garage 4 floors below my router

[misty mantle]

Damn, thats a good router.

I have to have 2 access points so my whole house gets internet

[misty mantle]

[hexed kayak]

Fat ass doesnt know when to go away

[misty mantle]

lmao

[wispy cloak]

She blowed up

[misty mantle]

Ah. Sounds like a kolher if ive seen one. Just waiting for the crapsman mower my grandpa has to die

[wispy cloak]

It's an unbranded engine

Probably a briggs

My 42" has a kohler with a bazillion hours and it's still going

[hexed kayak]

Had to shit bad enough that i couldn’t waste time turning them on

[misty mantle]

Shit now, lights later

[hexed kayak]

Mf is recharging his batteries or something now

[fathom socket]

Look at that load

[hexed kayak]

hope they have smell-o-vision

[civic spoke]

There are probably some people who believe that those weigh less when they are filled with a light gas.

[fathom socket]

Is it normal for this light to come one when abs activates?

It only does when I brake really really hard

[stoic ledge]

Don't think so? Probably indicative of a bad wheel speed sensor

[civic spoke]

Do you feel the ABS actually functioning?

Tho, that really just looks like the parking brake light, if it's red.

[fathom socket]

I feel it working.

But the abs light does not come on and last time I've checked I have no speed sensor issue

[civic spoke]

[misty mantle]

Have you checked the manual?

[fathom socket]

Lemme grab by scanner and check

[civic spoke]

It was a Yaris, right?

[fathom socket]

I have no El Manuel

[fathom socket]

Ye

[misty mantle]

Should be able to look the manual up online.

[civic spoke]

Looks light it might be low on brake fluid.

[fathom socket]

The thing is it's full

[civic spoke]

Which could make sense when your braking hard, so should be less fluid in the res.

Hmm. No idea then.

Another suggestion that I find is that you might have worn pads?

[fathom socket]

Now I need to wait for my scanner to boot. Thank you slow flash storage

I did a brake job recently since it has air trapped

[misty mantle]

May still have a bunch of air somewhere in the system

[fathom socket]

It seems to brake fine now. Not as well as my moms Yaris, but pretty much 10x better than before

[civic spoke]

Reminds me when I got towed by a coworker once...

I hadn't screamed that loud in my entire life.

[misty mantle]

lmao

[civic spoke]

The shift linkage had broken in a Citroën Nemo, and when I tell him that we won't take the freeway. GUESS WHERE HE GOES.

[misty mantle]

The freeway

Bet that was a fun ride

[civic spoke]

That's ducking right. It was the ride of my life.

He was getting up to like 60-70 kmh.

When the towing limit is 30 kmh.

And I barely had brakes.

[misty mantle]

Only vehicle I've ever towed was my Ranger when I rode the clutch like a dumbass and killed the throw-out bearing and the slave cylinder

[civic spoke]

So I was pretty much standing on the brakes the whole ride.

[fathom socket]

Isn't that illegal!

Towing on the freeway?

[civic spoke]

It sure is. You're allowed to to from one exit, to the next.
But no further.

[fathom socket]

Also it seems I have code p0420

Could use the p0069 just for the memes

[civic spoke]

Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1?

[fathom socket]

Yep

I think I have similar code on my iveco stralis too

[civic spoke]

Brother from another mother.

[fathom socket]

Idk if this has to do that my Yaris is low on power

Because can feel it in 0-50

[hexed kayak]

thats a e brake light

[civic spoke]

Probably also comes on when it senses some faults with the braking system.

[fathom socket]

Some cars have separate lights

[misty mantle]

Yee. The parking brake light on my ranger was on when I first got it, issue was some dumbass had used self-tappers to secure a office floor mat to the carpet, one went right through, and specifically through, the wire for the front ABS module, frying the module.

My bronco II doesn't even have a parking brake light, just a ABS light for the rear ABS

[hexed kayak]

my volvo has no chill

if it senses ANY momentary issue with the abs the a red light comes on the dash and the display says "brake failure stop immediately"

only happens in the winter if one of the wheels gets crammed full of snow

[misty mantle]

Volvo is gonna volvo
