but anyways how did you manage to fuck up a... (honda motor here) that badly?

[civic spoke]

All engines can be pushed to their limits. Honda, Toyota, etc. Aren't expections.

[fair moon]

yeah

but how one takes that much of a rod bits of the rod escapes me

without going metal on metal...

[civic spoke]

Those rods got stupid hot.

You can see the misscoloration in them.

Dang.

yoopty

[rugged lynx]

idk who designs these front ends and decides yup that looks good

[zenith path]

So weird :/ .. I like the color though!

I'm getting frustrated with my car.. A couple months ago the alternator went out, no big deal and I replaced it myself. Then my brakes went out a bit ago and I was able to replace the front rotors and pads myself. Then I got stuck trying to do the rear ones when I ended up needing to do the caliper too, so I had to ask for help.

Now apparently I must have driven over a nail or tack and my tire went flat.

So this morning I jack it up and I got the spare on, lower it, and realize the spare is also flat.

I filled it as best as I could with my bike pump and then limped it to the gas station to fill it more.

I get it back home, turn it off, and it starts rapidly clicking and flashing the lights.

The battery was replaced early this year. Why now? just bad luck? What could I have done..

[toxic oxide]

If they would have color matched the front bumper completely instead of leaving certain parts black, it would look better

There's a company that makes little plastic pieces with 3M tape that can be placed on there to make it look better

The face-lift front end looks nice

[toxic oxide]

is this a BMW or VW?

There is a way.

[toxic oxide]

Yes. Cost will vary depending on how far, where the truck is coming from and going to, ect.

[wide hemlock]

[valid marsh]

so does it count as a towing company

or is it called something else

cause if its not expensive, i might just get the Ford E transit and then if i ever move, just use that service to have my EV transported to my new location / city

cause EVs are kind of busted if you are just staying in one area for a long time.

cause every you can get anywhere in 1 city with 100 miles of range.

[zenith path]

Lol no it's a 2007 Acura TL type S .. it does have over 200k miles though

Although I did three separate trips today to the gas station, gym, then target and it started fine. No flickering and clicking yet today!

Honestly yesterday though when I jacked it up I first tried on the rear drivers side jack point. Then it knocked a couple times and I have no idea why. I'm like 99% sure that I was on the correct jack point. I have no idea why it made that noise. Haven't heard it since then. I just ended up lowering it and jacking from the main rear jack point in the middle.

[toxic oxide]

Gotta love pinch weld jack points

[toxic oxide]

It'll be a car carrier taking your vehicle or a hotshot driver with a car transport trailer. Here in the US, cost ranges from couple hundred to over a grand.

[civic spoke]

Put a CVT in it. You won't.

I can say with a straight face that CVT is F1 tech that was banned for being too good.

[dull cedar]

A good cvt is great

You can just have constant peak power

[civic spoke]

The problem is just that no one wants to built a stout one.

I... Wonder if they would be ideal for rotary?

Since those normally have lower torque.

Could be a Series 1

Not a Series 3

But Series 3 had the V12, Series1/2 is I6

[wraith fiber]

heya, we've got a Nissan Xterra from circa 2005, it's turning over but won't start. I've heard lots of people say it's the fuel pump or fuel injectors, can we get any second opinions?

the battery is fine

[terse raptor]

It could be many things

Probably best to have a shop look at it or a mechanic look at it in person

[wraith fiber]

the thing is, it's on an island

[terse raptor]

Just seeing text like this it could be any issue related to spark, fuel, air or compression really

[wraith fiber]

it worked just fine a month or two ago when we last used it, if that changes anything

the only thing that's changed is the environment, it's a tad colder (but jumping it didn't do much)

[terse raptor]

It's most likely not a compression issue then, have you checked the spark plugs?

[wraith fiber]

we can, I'll bring that up too

this thing hasn't been maintained in years lmao, I keep telling the owner "you gotta service this thing"

[terse raptor]

I mean I'm not saying as like a solution, but definitely see if the spark plugs are good, could be fuel pump or injectors, I have a feeling it would more likely be fuel pump out of those 2

But first thing I would check as it's the easiest to is if plugs are getting spark, because then it is a fuel issue

[wraith fiber]

alright, thank you!

[terse raptor]

If you know where the fuel filter is, also check to make sure fuel is getting to it because if it is, then it's not the fuel pump

[wraith fiber]

how would we do that?

So happy that if my infotainment bricks i can remove it within 10 seconds and put a different one in

[stoic ledge]

Really depends, often it's only only interior mirror, but when exterior mirrors also have dimming I'd usually expect them both the be auto dimming

But it could just be that's how they configured it

Maybe try and find a price list for your model year?

The Touring Technology Package ($1,675 MSRP), which can only be ordered when combined with the Bose/Moonroof/Satellite Package, adds LED auto on/off headlights with auto leveling, LED daytime running lights, adaptive front-lighting system, rain-sensing wipers, auto-dimming interior mirror with Homelink, auto-dimming driver’s side mirror, heated side mirrors, heated front seats and Smart City Brake Support (SCBS).

Looks to be only driver side

[charred depot]

They realised how annoying modern headlights are so their solution is dimmable side mirrors too heh

Has anyone had matte PPF installed? I personally like the matte appearance and I drive on the highway a lot so my front bumper gets sandblasted regularly.

[tulip lantern]

Looking into buying a car within half a year. Was thinking that a hybrid might be a good choice, as here up in the North, the cold makes using full electric not make sense (it's currently -17°C). Just wondering if a plugin hybrid needs to be charged externally or not. My dad's wife has a non-plugin hybrid that charges while driving, and at my apartment there's no charging available so I couldn't charge my car more than max 3.68kW for 2h (7.36kWh).

[dusky torrent]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc1jxdwITGw YES

[tulip lantern]

Why an Audi?

[rugged lynx]

anyone else think its hard to find a car brand that doesnt have horrible commercials?

[civic spoke]

PHEV's usually have the option to plug in, or use the engine to charge up the battery. Plugging in to charge, even if it is at an incredibly slow rate is often worth it.

[stark sentinel]

I love this one

https://youtu.be/3wiuFnTdq8Y?si=jIIif7TXVFY7PPWR

It’s so well produced

I suppose it’s not quite a commercial but cool watch nonetheless

[tulip lantern]

We have outlets that have timers on them (max 2h) and these outlets are ment for small heaters to get rid of snow. I could charge longer than 2h but I would have to go reset it all the time.
Do you think it would make sense to even get a hybrid in my situation? You get a nice tax discount on road tax and on car insurance if it's electric or a hybrid so that's pretty much the only reason I'm looking into em

[civic spoke]

Then you're in a similar situation like me. We have those timers as well. And I'm not sure they are rated for lots of higher draw output.

Hybrid can still make sense for you, though. But PHEV makes less sense if you can't properly hook it up at home or work.

[tulip lantern]

At my current job we don't have any parking cause the office is in the city centre, so obviously no charging places but I'm probably leaving the company in around 2 months cause they aren't offering enough hours

One of the jobs I applied for is a job where you go to a job site and not an office so there would never be any charging either

[tulip lantern]

To be honest they actually might be behind a 10A or even smaller of a breaker so it might be worse.

But the 2h limit is still making life difficult

[civic spoke]

The outlets that we have in our garage is also just for small heaters like that.

50+ year old wiring.

you know that hybrids are not really that effcient? top gear did not a sientific test with a prius and a bmw with a v8 in it and the bmw got better mpg

Because they redline the shit out of the Prius and they didn’t use regenerative breaking effectively on a track

The bmw was happy and much more efficient in the lower RPM range

Meanwhile the Prius engines pistons were actively escaping the flame front

well said it ain't a sientiific test

but it showed that cars differ

[restive gazelle]

Plugin hybrids don’t have to be charged externally it’s just cheaper to do it with wall power. Get a Honda civic

[wispy cloak]

Diesel seems to be going down everywhere

[terse raptor]

Idk what any of that means

[civic spoke]

TL;DR - The world revolves around diesel. If diesel increases in price, so does store prices.

[terse raptor]

Well yeah

I was just making a joke because of the language and money

Well not a joke

Anyway, I had a truck that I bought right before diesel doubled in price in the states

[civic spoke]

Probably still worth it over petrol. tbh

Fuel consumption is so much better with diesel.

[terse raptor]

Well I went from a car that got 26 mpg to a truck that got 16 on a good day, while my drive was over an hour long

But the reasons were that I worked off a dirt road and had to haul stuff, and I wasn't going to drive my nice car out there

So I sold the nice car and bought a crap diesel truck so I could work better and then price doubled like less than a month later

However I know I can't complain compared to people in Europe because fuel is just cheaper here

[civic spoke]

I'm just happy that it's not $2.50 per liter anymore.

if you have the money

[versed fern]

thanks

there are others in between the price range but i haven't heard of those brands

[stable igloo]

had them on the car to keep the rocks off the sides. 4AGE 20v silvertop swap and a full resto

[dull cedar]

the engine makes up for those horrid red mudflaps

[stable igloo]

celica 6mt swap too

always wanted one with a Beams 3STGE in it

off to facebook marketplace

[dull cedar]

huh, how'd you get a celica transmission on an A engine

[stable igloo]

have to tap out the shifter imput

did it about 6 years ago, but from what i recall just drilling it out and sealing it

[dull cedar]

huh

what transmission is it?

very confused, there wasn't a 6 speed until 7th gen

[stable igloo]

want to say it was a C60

[dull cedar]

how on earth

and that was never in the celica except 7th gen

how does that mount to a 4A

unless you used part of the C50 case?

ah yep, gotta swap to the C50 front half of the case for it to work

[wet summit]

do i stay with sierra cluster or change to denali

the yukon denali has the cadillac cluster, the sierra denali uses the tahoe cluster

the second pic is a tahoe cluster

i finally got denali airbag and wheel

[civic spoke]

I know of a guy who changed out his whole Chevy Silverado with Escelade interior.

[wet summit]

i can do a cadillac swap but i wild rather a denali swap

i want to keep the jump seat

Don't buy a Stoopid used jaguar this thing has been sitting here for a month now because it smells like fuel when it's running

Biggest scam & loss for our family kekw

[charred depot]

mfw car needs repairs

[young fox]

Lots

Guy selling told perfect mech condition except the engine seems like scrap according to a mechanic

Some electrical systems don't work, door locks even don't work, yeah uh

[charred depot]

so much wrong and it was still purchased?

[young fox]

Person selling played it very smart, we were dumb enough to not check

They were experienced and they run that scam many times here. Saw many other JLR and other luxury cars being sold by the same seller

Outright lies, just nice exterior and interior and yeah the mech condition is just horrible in most of them

[dusky torrent]

u guys like the carbon fiber or no

[civic spoke]

I generally can do without it.
At least when it doesn't serve a purpose other than being a visual thing.

Is your E90 BMW really THAT much lighter with a carbon fiber piece for your drive selector?

[dusky torrent]

it's only for a visual purpose because i hated how the old one looked. and i didn't think an OEM shifter would look any better

[civic spoke]

You could have done far worse. tbh
Many of the OEM options are far from good.

[dusky torrent]

imagine if i had the money and time and skill to manual swap my car

a 6 speed auto gets boring. a 6 speed mt would be fun

[civic spoke]

Looks like they are some all-leather options.

[carmine summit]

pro tip: if you think you need a truck, you probably dont
source: i do more "truck" things than 99% of people and I don't need a truck

do we have a truck? yes, it makes some of the things we do easier, like hauling a 7000lbs bobcat

[civic spoke]

One 100%.
And you can easily add capability to tow, too.

[tropic mulch]

apparently it's getting more suspension travel when it's new shocks come in

also a snorkel

[charred depot]

Rear top mount finally disintegrated on my 305 saloon the reason why I didnt replace them before is the price :^ |

2018 genesis g80 sport 3.3 v6, twin turbo, awd.

Just got new intakes on and bov's today

And exhaust last week

[dusky torrent]

this is definitely perfect weather to use my rear fog lights

[dusky torrent]

🗣️🔥

[stable igloo]

were the stock BOVs not holding the pressure or did the stocker not make wooshing noises?

[fathom socket]

Stock wasn't holding the psi @stable igloo

28psi

Stock were plastic recirculating diverted valves

With rubber diaphram

The new bovs are anodised aluminum with brass piston and thick o-ring. Supposed to hold up to 100psi

[fathom socket]

ram air filter +30hp

[fathom socket]

Haha maybe if u tune for it but not on stock tune especially when ur pulling hot air from the engine bay.

[charred depot]

it is tuned for it anyway

theres no factory airbox for this application, didnt do it out of want was just the easiest way to stick a filter on.

[fathom socket]

Ah OK

U can try to make a heat shield

Or stick it closer to the finder

Or out the bottom near the lights

[charred depot]

my radiator has a massive gap above it as its the wrong one so it actually gets loads of airflow.

[fathom socket]

Ok but u still have heat soak from the engine bay

[charred depot]

you can see the front of the filter from the grille so its alright.

[fathom socket]

Colder the air the more density and more complete burn of fuel. If sucking hot air it defeat the purpose

[charred depot]

it has heatsoak anyway with the topmount intercooler

[fathom socket]

That's my setup

Have ram air vents through the bumper to the filters

[civic spoke]

Most OEM setups are generally good.

[fathom socket]

Along with heat shields to prevent heat soak

[fathom socket]

Not oem

[charred depot]

this is a old turbo diesel im not really going to improve anything, my power at the moment is limited by the lack of head studs.

[fathom socket]

U still want more colder dense air.

[civic spoke]

I know yours isn't. But I'm saying that most original ones are good. This is original, right?

[fathom socket]

Diesels run on compression and the more air u can get the more efficient they run

[charred depot]

its really not going to be noticable though, most of these in high power applications do not run a inlet at all. just bare turbo.

[fathom socket]

Yes those boxes are

Oem

[fathom socket]

Is a truck?

[charred depot]

nah Peugeot 305, didnt come with this engine but swapped in.

[civic spoke]

It's fine for you. Don't really have much to gain as it is.
Not to mention that I'm not sure you have a computer to know how to handle the difference.

[charred depot]

I just adjust a screw : )

The computer is my brain I watch in the mirror for black smoke

[fathom socket]

Even if u don't gain more power u will gain more fuel efficiency with colder more dense air

Cause has more O2 to burn the fuel

More O2 less black soot aka smoke

My wife's bmw x5m is a 3.0 twin turbo diesel i6

[civic spoke]

Ged's fine. Really.
Having an efficient car is the least of his worries. And I'm sure he knows it.
I enjoy seeing his effort to keep stuff on the road at all, honestly.

[charred depot]

Ill get a front mount eventually the air gets super heated anyway as this car was not designed for the top mount setup so has no ducting for it

[fathom socket]

Yeah top mounts suc I know alot of subie guys switching to front mount coolers

I'm changing my front mount due to the factory plastic ends

[civic spoke]

What year was it? Ged? 1980-something?

[charred depot]

They are all 1987's must have been a good year for 305's heh

[civic spoke]

Helps that they are the same year for parts. 👌

[fathom socket]

Had to change my factory plastic diverted valves cause they were plastic with rubber diaphram and wouldn't hold the boost

So I went with the gfb hybrids

And able to hold 28psi

[civic spoke]

If I had a decent E46, 330i. Then I seriously would have considered supercharging the car.

[fair moon]

I wouldn't supercharge it

I'd leave it as is

i'd rather keep the car nice and clean then mod it

[fathom socket]

Twin charging or seqntial Twin turbo more efficiency

[fair moon]

especially with the rear subframe mount cracking concerns

[civic spoke]

I know. The supercharger would have just been a nice extra. tbh

[fair moon]

I'd address that first tbh

[fathom socket]

My Volvo s90 t6 had a supercharger and a turbo from factory on that little 2.0 4 banger

[civic spoke]

Well aware of this.

[fair moon]

i figured

[civic spoke]

My 320i shouldn't have those concerns, tho.

[fair moon]

It should

They all had issues

Not just the M3

unless it's already been fixed

[civic spoke]

Not to the same extent. Since I don't have anywhere near the torque of the other engines.

[fathom socket]

My wife's x5md is a tourqe monster

Xdrive

And Twin turbos

[fair moon]

less torque just means it will take longer

actually it looks like torque might not matter as much

hmm

[civic spoke]

I know, I know. The car will likely suffer from other damages before the subframe becomes the issue. Is just what I'm saying.

[fathom socket]

Wish I could get my hands on a x5m550d has the 3.0L i6 diesel but has 4 turbos

[civic spoke]

Looking to replace the blower motor sometime this next week.

[fathom socket]

But apparently bmw isn't going to make that engine anymore

[fair moon]

yes

[fathom socket]

Just hate the big ass bulky air box ontop

Hers is 2011

Hahahaha

I tried to send image of the engine and flagged it as explicit

Stupid dischord

[fair moon]

740nm torque

[fathom socket]

Oh and all the emissions crap is gone lol

No dpf, def, or egr

Has been tuned and doesn't blow black soot it runs clean

3 inch turbo back exhaust with hfc and muffler

Had to do it kepped getting check engine lights for Def fluid tank heater then dpf then the scr, and bmw wanted 20k$ to fix since no warranty and 2011 so I said nope and got a tune for 1500, then the exhaust and labor for another 2k and no more problems

Sure is lovely to hear them turbos spool

Also deleted the swirl flap valves too

Cause almost had a flap come loose and go into the intake valve

[civic spoke]

I'm fine with my E46.

[fathom socket]

That would have been a new motor

[fathom socket]

All the e70 35d and x5md that shared the same motor had problems with the swirl flaps breaking off and grenade the motor

[fathom socket]

Nice vehicle

I think the 335d sedan also shared that motor as well

Except they made one with a single turbo and the high output with the twin turbos

For that diesel

Then came the 450d with 3 turbos

Then the 550d with 4 turbos

Insane motor

Who would want to work on that complex monster

There is absolutely no way I would attempt to

I think that's why bmw discontinued production of that engine line

Also we can't get these diesels anymore in the states from bmw or vw

Cause of the emissions thing

[fathom socket]

Volvo woot

Nice but very heavy cars

My s90 t6 awd was like 5200lbs

And had a twin charged 2.0l 4 cylinder

Supercharger and turbo

Direct injection

[wide hemlock]

I only like s40s cause they have mitsubishi suspension

I have eclipse brakes and an FTO swaybar on it

Evo 3 rear alignment bars

[fathom socket]

What I use to have

[wide hemlock]

I haven't learned how to use flash yet

[fathom socket]

It's nice tho

They are well built

Just too heavy

Imo

It's cause of the boron steel frame is why it's so heavy

Crash ratings are very good

[wide hemlock]

35mm

[fathom socket]

Still nice volvo

U even have the same prancing moose on the side like I did

I also had on on the back that was vertical

Took the Volvo letters off and painted the crome on the front ppl thought was a Ferrari at first glance

Lol

I was like no is a Volvo

Had the peanut butter color interior

Black exterior

[fathom socket]

Are those bbs wheels

What about the gauges hitting u in the face if airbags deploy

[wide hemlock]

Closed casket

[fathom socket]

Very dangerous

Lol

I have mine on blue tooth obd2

Through my phone

So I mount my phone on the windshield

[wide hemlock]

I had plans to do autocross with this car but I don't feel like working on it constantly

Now I can just get it up to 220kph on the highway without being scared

[fathom socket]

Would love to have dash mount gauge tho

[wide hemlock]

I did this myself

The factory radio sucks

I even found rare 1din pocket kit

[fathom socket]

Nice

I have a good radio in mine but sux that I can't get wifi or sos crash thing or auto updates anymore

Due to 3g towers turned off

That whole 2g/3g sunset thing

That effected alot of cars

[wide hemlock]

Idgaf about car wifi

I like driving a car that I'm the boss of

Doesn't even have seatbelt chime

[fathom socket]

Shifty thing is the auto manufacturers knew that Verizon and att were doing away with 2g/3g networks since 2010, when it was made public knowing but still made my 2018 with 3g modem

[nimble trout]

Kissimmee florida Mecum Auctions event dodge experience.

[fathom socket]

Nice

To bad I can't sling my car around like that, 😕 awd

[stoic ledge]

They also go bust a lot, and then you have a 16k bill to get it fixed

[nimble trout]

Change it

[fathom socket]

Awd is awesome straight line and corners especially on summer tires but can't break traction for shit unless I turn off stability and traction control but then the computer goes crazy and thinks something wrong and goes to limp mode

Till I reset everything and reset the ecu

All the suspension and awd systems are ties into the tcu and ecu

[coarse jewel]

AWD is amazing, but it's not great for low-speed drifting, the traction can be a little awful. I've also had issues with my ABS and Traction control fighting at below 10kph and trying to stop.

[fathom socket]

Yup its a night mare if turned off

I just leave it all on

Especially if ur car has tourqe vectoring like mine

[coarse jewel]

I drive a 2015 WRX, my couple of no traction control experiences was that it was no issue. Only in like harsh blizzards have I actually seen my traction control light come on. Mostly it comes on when I'm trying to stop in like foot deep snow.

As soon as the car gets below 10kph it just starts sliding and freaking out. Pumping or threshold braking doesn't help either, it's just hold the brake as hard as you can and hope.

[fathom socket]

It's wierd the electronic dampening suspension, torque vector awd

Makes it for interesting times

All through a zf 8speed with paddle shift and sport mode

[coarse jewel]

I know my suspension is purely mechanical, I forget what torque vectoring is but iirc it's just the clutch plates on each wheel which all Subaru's have, I forget which year it was added but I know my WRX has those.

[fathom socket]

Also in normal drive mode it's mostly rear wheel drive 90% rear 10% front

And sport is 50 rear 50 front

Or what ever end need most traction

2018 genesis g80 sport 3.3t awd

[coarse jewel]

I'd expect normal to be 50/50 or like a FWD bias, and sport to be a 40f/60r bias.

[fathom socket]

Genesis had to be wierd I guess

They hired a bmw and audi engineer to design the platform

Shares the same motor as the kia stinger gt2

3.3 twin turbo

V6

[coarse jewel]

that sounds like an awful combo

[fathom socket]

Yup

U know they always over engineer things

Even stock the motor has forged crank, forged rods and pistons

From the factory

[coarse jewel]

Kia/Hyundai can't build an engine for crap, Germans over engineer everything so that platform is probably expensive AF has more than enough points of failure but it won't fail catastrophically at least.

[fathom socket]

Yup is why the genesis g80 sport 3.3t awd cost 75k new

Only difference between the stinger and my g80 engine is the bost merge pipe on the kia it's made of plastic and mine is aluminum

Same front mouth intercooler tho with plastic ends

That's going soon

Going with mishumoto

All aluminum

Just like the diverter valves were plastic with rubber diaphram

[coarse jewel]

Why'd you get it? Wanted a car you knew would require work or was it a good deal used?

[fathom socket]

Changed those with gfb aluminum bov with brass piston and rubber o-rings

Got it used

Was a good deal at 30k

And I knew the potential

Right now with current mods I'm at 500hp to the wheels

Waiting for turbo upgrades wmi and hpfp. And I'll be at 700whp

On e85

Also gona need new tcu tune to I crease line pressure so I don't burn out the clutches

[coarse jewel]

Dayum. Can the transmission handle that?

[fathom socket]

Zf 8 speed one of the best tranys out

[coarse jewel]

fair

[fathom socket]

Just gota increase the line pressure and change out the torque converter

Also the silinoid plate

For billit one

And gaskets

Other then that no major upgrade to the trans

[coarse jewel]

fair

[fathom socket]

Line pressure simple increase through tcu tune

Along with shift points

[coarse jewel]

yeah

[fathom socket]

Also the factory box is very restricted in flow Also the tubing there is a sound resonator infront of the left side turbo

And the k&n piping I plugged the left side reserc cause it's not needed

The right side I added a 1in k&n breather filter due to the pcv vacuum hose and valve cover vacuum hose along with brake vacuum line attached to the tube. To alow for volumetric effeincy when the turbo is pulling air from the main large filter it doesn't have to fight for air from the other vacuum lines atrached

And don't need reserc valves as my motor don't have a mass air flow sensor

Is why I went with bov'

Due to it being speed density

Only boost pressure sensor, and a map sensor

To make the ecu control the electronic wastegates

So far I have primary cat's on, since they are monitored and have O2 sensors, secondary sweeper cat's are deleted as they weren't monitored no O2 sensor, 2 1/4 inch dual exhaust from the flanges to a 2-1 merge collector that go to a single 3in all the way back to the rear axel, then dual back out to 2 1/2 in pipe to 2 twin loop mufflers.

@coarse jewel

[coarse jewel]

Nice

[fathom socket]

She is a beast

Have drycharger filter socks to keep rain off the filters from the intakes

Factory intake horns were more recessed into behind the bumper

So I got velossitec big mouth ram air snorkels that mount behind the grill

The little blue color squares behind the grill

Are the intake snorkels they feed fresh cold air to the filters

[fathom socket]

@coarse jewel

She sucks alot of air lol

That's at first start

[fathom socket]

I think wastegates are open at first start

For a self check

Is why the intakes are loud at first start

Apparently to hurry the air temps for the cat's to light off

[fleet magnet]

Had the old ones out for a scoot today.

[fathom socket]

Nice

[restive gazelle]

I love it, the older and the shittier the better

[sinful creek]

Thinking about getting a mk8 golf R but I’m seeing some other used options that might be good. Mostly interested in a 6-speed manual, AWD, reliable and cheap to maintain. Not interested in Subaru’s, any advice/recommendations?

[fleet magnet]

GR Corolla

[civic spoke]

Do you require the AWD? Civic Type R or GR Corolla comes to mind.

There aren't too many options for the manual.

[sinful creek]

Yeah definitely require AWD live in MN so I want something that’s gonna handle snow well

[fleet magnet]

Cammisa just did an episode of the icons I think it was that has all the answers to this

[sinful creek]

Is the GR Corolla really that good?

[fleet magnet]

https://youtu.be/auLseKQSaFk?si=FUjzodLsppJhL9vc

Yep, they're so cute and can be so powerful 😄

[civic spoke]

If you don't already. Get a proper set of snow tires.
I say this as someone who dailies a 20+ year old RWD car in Sweden.

[stoic ledge]

They do, depending on the market it's called SX4, SX4 S-Cross or S-Cross

[sinful creek]

Oh huh, Suzuki doesn’t make new cars in U.S. from what I can tell 🥲

[stoic ledge]

True

[civic spoke]

Someone I know is wanting a Jimny.

[stoic ledge]

Who doesn't

[civic spoke]

Can't get them as a normal 'car' anymore, they are just being sold as vans. 2 seater and a caged out rear

[stoic ledge]

Only way you could even get them in NL anyway

Lol even that is 43k here

No thnx

[charred depot]

:^ | guy that sold me the alloys gave me the wrong wheel bolts for them

Why peugeot has 3 different ways of securing wheels for one car I do not know.

[stoic ledge]

Alloys and steelies are often different

[charred depot]

yeah they gave me C and the alloys I have needed B which is for early style alloys

Managed to order some I remember they used to be a pain to source with people scavenging scrapyards

Friends bought alot of pugs that have had the wrong bolts fitted so have a wheel vibration.

[dusk ocean]

why would the wastegates being open affect the intake noise...

[fathom socket]

I dunno it only does it at start up during fast idle till it does self check, the wastegates are electronic controlled and internal into the hotside of the turbos

[dusk ocean]

Yes, but that will not change induction noise, in fact, it would stall the turbos and result in less induction noise

[twin jasper]

snow is epic

[rugged lynx]

salt isnt though

i saw an r8 driving around in the salt today. kind of pissed me off

[twin jasper]

they dont salt in az thank god

[rugged lynx]

i am really glad i have a company car i can drive in the salt and leave my cars at home

[grizzled crypt]

I love preludes

this is my Civic Si

[rugged lynx]

i was thinking about getting a current gen si. but id have to void the warranty immediately to make the changes i care about

might just build a 2022 used si

[wraith rivet]

If you wash your undercarriage very often is it an issue at all?

[rugged lynx]

no. most people dont though

[wraith rivet]

Lame

I’d imagine self serve places where it snows would have a tool for that

AWD is overrated, winter tires are underrated

[dull cedar]

the civic type r isn't AWD lol

[twin jasper]

my lude was 5k

pretty minty when i got it tho

[grizzled crypt]

Fwd is better than rwd in the snow tho

[grizzled crypt]

Mine was 4.5k

but its 170k miles & salvage title

It runs great tho

[twin jasper]

real wish my lude had a lsd

yall si owners get lsds

[grizzled crypt]

Tbh i havent done any spirited driving

my rear passenger side tire 😭

its really a whole mess with the alignment rn

[twin jasper]

so glad lude is full double wishbone idk wtf is going on here but i hate it

[twin jasper]

looks like a camber or toe problem i have the same issue on the fronts

[grizzled crypt]

Yeeah look at the other sides control arm

so one side has an aftermarket part & one side has the stock part lol

i got the ome for the other side

need to get it aligned soon

hows ur bumper

has it fell off yet

[grizzled crypt]

Basically LOLLLL

nah its not bad lol

[twin jasper]

just wait till the clips die

[dusky bobcat]

My Toyota is less than 2k away from quarter of a million miles, and something in the ps is leaking a bunch. So much for Toyota being reliable, can’t even make it to 250000 miles

[grizzled crypt]

Lol

[dusky bobcat]

It’s fixable but the cost to fix is prolly more than it’s worth

Like parts alone

[twin jasper]

whens the last time you changed ps fluid

[dusky bobcat]

I noticed it was very low so I filled it like 10 days ago, and was working on something else like 5 days ago and noticed it was a bit low so topped it off then too

But it was very low today, and I noticed the leak

[twin jasper]

ps delete ez pz

problem solved

[dusky bobcat]

I’m considering it…

[dull cedar]

power steering leaking is common on any car

my celica's was leaking, the corolla leaks

rubber doesn't tend to last 30 years

still functions fine

[dusky bobcat]

Yeah fs, just annoying asf, bottom is soaked though, I don’t think it’s just a leak, I don’t want to top it off every other day so I can drive 15 miles a day

[twin jasper]

my ludes doesnt leak if it did i couldnt delete ps anyway without getting a accord rack lmao dumb variable rack

[dusky bobcat]

Also it’s only 26 years… lmao

[dull cedar]

26 is still many more years than rubber lasts

[dusky bobcat]

Yeah i have no idea if mine works without ps, or how to find out ngl

[dull cedar]

you definitely don't want to delete power steering

[dusky bobcat]

Oh fs, I’m surprised more isn’t dead by now…

You callin me weak?

[dull cedar]

it's a toyota, of course nothing else is dead yet

no matter how strong you are, driving a modern car without power steering will not be fun

[dusky bobcat]

Tbf there’s been a lot of fixes but surprisingly not many, main thing is upper ball joins but it’s lifted with bigger tires so… to be expected

[dusky bobcat]

Yeah no fs, and synchros are fucked so I have to hold the shifter in first, so I’d have to steer with one hand too

[dull cedar]

synchros being fucked are the result of a skill issue lol

[grizzled crypt]

what if he bought it used lol

[dull cedar]

I didn't say it was their skill issue

[dusky bobcat]

A skill issue and a quarter of a million miles of wear…

Also it’s my parents, just started driving it a few months ago when I got my license, so not my fault

[dull cedar]

a quater million miles is nothing for a transmission if looked after properly

[dusky bobcat]

And it was used before they got it

[dull cedar]

wouldn't be surprised if it has brass synchros and has had non-yellow metal safe GL-5 gear oil put in it

[dusky bobcat]

It’s gonna wear over time though still, it’s inevitable

[dusky bobcat]

I have no idea. I think it’s all generic atf we use

[dull cedar]

atf??

[dusky bobcat]

Also yeah why do they use brass in those gears, that just seems dumb

[dull cedar]

what vehicle is this exactly?

[dusky bobcat]

I think so. That’s what the power steering uses, would be surprised if it wasn’t. Again tho idk, I probably helped with it before but I was too young to ask logical questions

[dusky bobcat]

97 4Runner

[dull cedar]

yes, toyota use atf for power steering, I was talking about the transmission fluid though

[dusky bobcat]

It may not be, just seems logical to make a transmission that uses atf if you have ps that uses atf

[dull cedar]

atf is for autos

[dusky bobcat]

Oh actually there is a automatic transmission version, maybe the ps has atf because of that version

Hollup lemme look it up

I don’t wanna go grab the manual rn tho

[dull cedar]

it's definitely meant to have regular 75W-90 GL-4 (or yellow-metal safe GL-5) gear oil

[dusky bobcat]

Oh yep it says Multipurpose gear oil API GL-4 orGL-5

My parents have brain cells, they fs put the right thing in, no idea about the original owner though

[twin jasper]

idk if 26 years old is modern

[dull cedar]

"modern" in this case counts as anything past the mid 80s

and especially a 4runner, screw turning fat tires without power steering

[twin jasper]

trueee

hondas without ps are like the same as with 😭

[dull cedar]

because your tires are as thin as dinner plates

[dusky bobcat]

Not wrong tho…

[twin jasper]

16x6

lighter than a 4runner too tho

[dull cedar]

damn, that wide? must be pretty rubbish power steering then

[fallow mesa]

who's waiting for the new car reveals for 2024 season!

[twin jasper]

it can barely handle all 165ft lbs of torque 😭

[twin jasper]

snow on da eclipse

[vivid rover]

Hyundai friggin excel

[versed fern]

anyone know any temporary repairs for a corroded fuel line so i could get it to a mechanic

[fleet magnet]

Rubber line splice

[civic spoke]

You'd have to cut it off, and splice in a temporary line.

Or just pay up for the tow.

[versed fern]

well he's like 300-500 meters away from my home, if it runs is it fine to just drive it there?

[civic spoke]

I would probably do it. Since it's such a short distance.
Else you can grab some friends to push it.

Or wait. You mean that the shop is that far away, or?

[versed fern]

well it aint a shop sorta he's my neighbour he been fixin cars up for other people and my family but ig it's the same thing

with pushing there's the concern about the highway, will it be possible to push across it quick enough

[charred depot]

I just have mines replaced with rubber hose the entire length too lazy to bend new pipes

[civic spoke]

Yeah. This is probably the go to for DIY.

[versed fern]

even though i really wanna get into DIYing mechanics, I don't have the tools or even basic skills for it so I'm definitely not gonna be able to do it myself

electronics seem much more straightforward

[charred depot]

flathead screwdriver hose clips and a knife for me but more modern stuff might be more annoying.

[wraith rivet]

That truck is clean

[civic spoke]

Saw this today.

[fathom socket]

Err darn tpms light on I hope it's not the module

I'm hoping it's a battery dead in one of the wheels

Not the module

[vivid rover]

oh no

Yeah the sensors are pretty easy to replace

[fathom socket]

Yup searching for the rdc on one of the body modules will be a pain

Also not cheap

Then it's gota be coded

I've tried to reset via connect drive but won't reset
