cars

[charred depot]

Friend had a few, called Subaru MV's here were a right pain to get bits for here in the UK, couldnt get brake shoes had to be relined no calipers or even pistons available to buy.

[native ermine]

this my first car got it like 8'ish years ago at this point

done a lot of work on it as well

[rustic night]

Hey friends kinda an emergency. Can anyone identify this locking wheel bolt?

[native ermine]

yep thats a wheel lock.... just take a smaller socket and hammer that shit on there

cause that shit is garbage

[rustic night]

Its spinning collar

[native ermine]

a drill

they also have bits that reverse it out

[rustic night]

We broke 5 drill bits on it

The reverse tools are like 200 quid. I want to try find the key type

[flint sable]

[feral reef]

Yeah, just the cool cars sitting on grass in a beautiful location

[charred depot]

My Allegro might need some tyres, good tread though

[feral reef]

Is the rubber even rubber anymore 😂

[charred depot]

holds air

[feral reef]

I hold air

[charred depot]

ill get some proper chinese tyres for it

need the authentic 70's experience

[rugged lynx]

the tires on my 1946 truck still held air. its been sitting in a field for probably 40 years

i seem to always get the old relics

[heady aurora]

You sure there wasn't a crime scene that was involved

Cool photo of our 300zx race car

[dusky torrent]

imagine how expensive and hard it will be to replace the bulbs on this 20 years later

[dusky torrent]

i was gonna assume that happened in socal, but it has euro plates

[misty mantle]

My Bronco is back up and running

Finally

[dusky torrent]

broncos are huge

[velvet ledge]

What car ya'll driving as a daily I've only got this atm but dam I love my ae102e corolla

[misty mantle]

This shitbox

[velvet ledge]

And my weekend off-roader for camping a Nissan Patrol gu

[velvet ledge]

I haven't seen one of them before is that an American only car?

[misty mantle]

North America, yeah

The little brother of the old Full-size Broncos

These ones are notorius for rolling over

[velvet ledge]

I'd like to give one of them a drive wish they had them in Australia

[velvet ledge]

Oh that not good😐,
We get lots of people in Australia taking out the sway bars in our 4x4 it's illegal but better for off road but they roll over quite easily if you're driving on road with them out

[dull cedar]

COROLLAAAA

[misty mantle]

I live in a mountain area with quite a few areas with OHV trails, this thing does great off-road, even with the cheap road tires it has right now

[velvet ledge]

Yea what engine you got in yours I've got the 7afe

[dull cedar]

5A

total shitter, but it goes

except when you're following an idiot down a pass and they never make it past half the speed limit

[misty mantle]

Wait, removing the sway bar is illegal for road driving down there in Aus?

[velvet ledge]

Ah yea I don't we got them ones in Australia if so they not very common I think we got the 1.3 1.6 an the big 1.8

[dull cedar]

this is an LX Limited jap model

1994, imported in 97

[misty mantle]

A true JDM

[dull cedar]

iirc everything made here either got a 4A or 7A

[velvet ledge]

Yes because it gives them too much body role and apparently you have less control over the vehicle at high speeds

[misty mantle]

Do they really even check if its installed

[dull cedar]

correction: 4A or 2/4E

so all ae100s built in nz were 4As

[misty mantle]

My Bronco II has Fords old twin I-beam front suspension, so no front sway bar

Its got a rear "sway bar," though, but I think its basically just sway bar links going from the suspension directly to the frame or something like that

[velvet ledge]

We have transport police which hang around police when they do alcohol breath testing and sometimes they will check under 4x4 cars and they get defected which means we have 7 days to fix the issue or the registration gets cancelled also 4x4 that are over a 4inch lift as well

[misty mantle]

Bruh, thats fucking bullshit

[velvet ledge]

Also anybody modifications made on a vehicle is illegal and requires Transport Police to check and put a special mod plate on the vehicle saying that approved for the body modification

[velvet ledge]

Ah cool your from NZ

[misty mantle]

Why......

I mean, I guess its a good way to keep cars with shoddy bodywork off the road, but.....

[velvet ledge]

Yea Australia government does not like car modifications
Example you can't have a cool air intake in most States without having a box for it

[misty mantle]

The new full-size broncos can be optioned with a electronic front sway-bar disconnect, thats a good way to get around that. Just drive around with it disconnected and if you get pulled over, just hit the button so it re-connects the sway bar

[velvet ledge]

Yea that's literally the reason

It sucks

[misty mantle]

I'm in california, and for some stupid reason air intakes like that are illegal, at least on higher-HP vehicles

[dull cedar]

seems reasonable lmao, a pod filter without a box is just dumb
(yes I know the rest of australia's car shit is worse than just this filter thing lol)

here, we can build entire fucking cars from nothing, following the car construction manual, and get it certed and registered

[misty mantle]

They would probably have a field day with my truck

[velvet ledge]

I like the sounds of that I've seen people have this way but connected with pins and every time they go off-road they just pulled the pins out but that electronic one sounds way better

[misty mantle]

I think i have a video of the front sway-bar disconnect working, let me find it.

[dull cedar]

the real problem is, australia doesn't appear to have a way to have properly done work certified, they just blanket ban shit

[velvet ledge]

That's really weird they don't even do much only thing it's done in my Corolla is made my accelerator more responsive

[velvet ledge]

I know an you guys can put LED lights underneath the sides as well

[misty mantle]

Oh god, underglow 🤢

[velvet ledge]

Ye that probably would they have nothing better to do

[velvet ledge]

100% agree with that🙄

[velvet ledge]

If it wasn't illegal for me I wouldn't put it on any of my cars anyway I only like it on some cars that have the right look

[misty mantle]

Think they would hit me with a ticket because of faded paint and cracked fiberglass on the back hatch?

Turns out 1 letter can really change a word

[velvet ledge]

Nah I don't think they would for that but if you get a transport cop on a bad day if they find one thing they'll pick at everything but must won't be that bad

[misty mantle]

Honestly, my truck isn't in that bad of shape, all things considered. Sure, the interior has been worse for wear, the paint is faded to shit, and the rear hatch could use some fiberglass repair, but it aint too bad

I doubt they would really find anything to really ticket me on.

Unless you wanna count a half-installed shifter boot as bad

[velvet ledge]

Yea maybe not but I an thinking that'd I reckon that'd try find something to get you for the electric sway bar thing knowing the cop over here

[misty mantle]

Here's the electric sway bar working.

[velvet ledge]

Nah they wouldn't care about that now the kinda stuff the ones on a bad day would sook about

😂

[velvet ledge]

Works good I'll have to check it out on yt sometime

@dull cedar @misty mantle thenks for chatting 🙂 been a slow day

[dull cedar]

[misty mantle]

No problem! I need to be sleeping rn, but aint because I aint really tired

[dull cedar]

https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/toyota/86/listing/4557201699 someone's about to get a cheap body for a race car lol

[misty mantle]

$2,582 USD for a 2015 86

[dull cedar]

get an 86 for 10% of it's original price with this one trick! crash sounds

[misty mantle]

Probably would be another 5k in parts just to put it back on the road, though IDK how the titling/registration system works in New Zealand

Or just build it into a race car

https://tenor.com/view/kachow-cars-lightning-mc-queen-pixar-disney-gif-5931942

[dull cedar]

assuming the engine is fine, it wouldn't take too much money if you did it yourself

[misty mantle]

Do wrecked cars end up with salvage titles down there like here in the states?

[misty mantle]

Listing says engine is fine, damage is purely on the very front and cooling package

[dull cedar]

never trust a damage car listing's description lol

it's ability to run does not mean it's not damaged

[dull cedar]

.

[misty mantle]

Its a JDM version, its got VVT

The Subis we have here in the states don't have VVT

[dull cedar]

there is no non-vvti FA20D lol

[misty mantle]

My bad, I'm not very knowledgeable on Subis as I'm a Ford and slight GM guy. I know one of the Subaru boxer engines has a VVT version and a non-VVT version

[dull cedar]

subaru has been making boxers for decades lol, of course there's older engines without vvt

[misty mantle]

Did a bit of research, I was thinking of the EJ20 and EJ20X/EJ20Y

[dull cedar]

https://global.toyota/en/detail/7901843 here's a bit of history

the first D-4 engine

the 3S-FSE

[native ermine]

yall we could have had this

😔

look how happy the car is too

[hexed kayak]

have you seen how much they are on the most basic of new cars?

[native ermine]

naw at least its a little better then what we got

[hexed kayak]

i used to have a 2017 Hyundai Tuscan that i bought new and the light got smashed out 6 months in and it was 760$ to replace it. now imgaine the cost of lights on a car that is worth much more than the 30k a tuscan costs

[native ermine]

but yeah new beemer is pretty bad

thats what i have to say about that

yeah thats kinda more or less what they had

ye but like anything is better then thee actual car

there was a guy putting the G80 front end on e39 and literally EVERYONE wants to kill this guy

why would you do that to an e39

must protec this girl

idk i kinda like it

its like a e46 but LARGE

M5 is sick

but this just a 530i

no

its an auto

not even worth it

if i had the money id put a lot of much needed love into that car tho

turn it into a M sport car

also replace thee entire top end cause its got bad lifter tick

M54 design flaw... thank gods my E46 doesn't have that issue

naw

i like what i like ok

[vestal blade]

It’s got that lawnmower sound

[wraith rivet]

it sounds like a Harley lmao

it's hilarious how even with the smallest car cover i could find, it looks giant and oversized on the miata

Yep. Those are indeed white vision ultra

[hexed kayak]

Yall ever seen a space heater cold start

[hexed kayak]

Lol what? My buddy still has bulbs in his mustang date coded to early 1994 which is when his car was built

And All the bulbs in my gfs car are from 2007

[hexed kayak]

Its like a 7.3 with bad glow plugs

[charred depot]

250 hours is tragic heh especially with how much of a pain some moderns can be to change bulbs in

Unlike most people here I run headlights 24/7

[vocal mural]

Luckily it is very easy to change in a Spark.
1: open bonnet
2 disconnect plug
3: remove dust cap
4: replace bulb
5: do the reverse of 1-4

🤔

[charred depot]

suprised thats legal where you are, it isnt here.

[charred depot]

Same on all of my cars, I ocassionally help with changing bulbs on modern cars and want to kill myself

[vocal mural]

I wonder if it is. Because I’ve reflector instead of projector

[charred depot]

Most H4 housings are reflectors, cant really think of any cars that have halogen projectors that dont use H7's.

Illegal here regardless, people still do it and it is bloody awful.

[stoic ledge]

Yeah well that's with those "extra bright" bulbs, their lifespan is shorter

Those LED's aren't legal here also

Pls don't

Or I'll highbeam you 😛

[vocal mural]

It is. Although only on a couple of models. Mostly VW

[vocal mural]

This bridge will be demolished in a few days

[vocal mural]

Actual footage

[civic spoke]

Why does it have a height clearance?

[feral reef]

Probably an easy sureties way to keep heavy vehicles off the bridge

[civic spoke]

Maybe.

[feral reef]

Tractors and lorries aren’t allowed on

Most would probably ignore it if it wasn’t for the height clearance thing

[stoic ledge]

I was thinking the same

[civic spoke]

Saw a truck and trailer drive pass a 7.5t place today. 🙂

[stoic ledge]

Always fun when trucks ignore the 6m restrictions and get stuck

[civic spoke]

Especially those running hazard goods...

Looks like UN1073? Love me some oxygen. 🙂

[hexed kayak]

with the roads there how havent you guys come up with steer axle trailers yet

could get that truck through there like nothing with one of those

[stoic ledge]

AirLiquide is mostly in Nitrogen and Hydrogen and stuff iirc

But looks like UN1073 on the back

[stoic ledge]

Most do, and this one probably has one also. This is just a very sharp turn

And not the "main" entrance to our town, although that one isn't much better

[hexed kayak]

must be a rookie. cause it doesnt seem like hes using it

if he got the truck straight and then turned the trailer wheels all the way right he could crab walk it forward enough to to get it so it wont take out the fence on the inside

unless there is some big wall there thats behind the truck

[vocal mural]

Because the bridge is heavily damaged. Without the height restriction, lorries will still enter despite ban.

New bridge is being built in the the next few months. (Closed from Thursday on)

According to the municipality of Lochem, the new bridge will open in July.

[stoic ledge]

The truck is already on the driveway of that house there lol

But even if he got through that corner, he would've gotten stuck at the next corner which is even tighter

[wraith rivet]

my beloved

[limber whale]

Awh poor baby

280ZX just sittin there.

in the very back of a neighbor hood at a dead end

[misty mantle]

Don't those have massive rust issues, or am I getting it mixed up with the Miata?

[limber whale]

idk but if they have rust issues this one got the worst of it

[dull cedar]

basically every old car that wasn't a porsche with their galvanised bodies had rust issues lol

there's something like 14 rusty Zs in a field near here

haven't seen them clearly in person, but I've counted them on the map and had a peak at them from the fenceline

[misty mantle]

Probably enough parts there to put 1 together

[dull cedar]

yeah lol

[limber whale]

Now that’s a project

[dull cedar]

at some point I may figure out who owns the land and offer to buy whatever the most useful shell is

[misty mantle]

Just buy all of them and a small warehouse, inventory all the useable parts

[dull cedar]

I ain't rich

[misty mantle]

There's a old station wagon on a abandoned property a few miles from where I live, I may try to find the owner if they're still alive or family of the owner someday and see if they want it revived and fixed up

I also know a guy with a un-molested Pontiac Fiero that hasn't been on the road since '08

[hollow torrent]

I went shopping today and found this in the underground parking its apparently been there since 2021

[native ermine]

[misty mantle]

If you guys ever get your tools stolen and want a chance in hell at getting them back, document both the name and serial numbers in the Milwaukee one-tool app so you have something to show the police to prove that those tools are yours, and they have something to reference IF they ever turn up in a pawn shop, the serial numbers will the flagged and a good chance the person that stole them caught

Doesn't matter if its a actual tool sold by milwaukee or some $20 pile of shit drill off amazon, if it has a serial number, document it unless you don't care about it

You can even document outdoor power equipment and vehicles in the app

[hexed kayak]

probably some old dudes that died of covid

there is a classic Maserati and Lancia near me in a parking garage in that situation

[hexed kayak]

cars were always seen around and detailed so perfectly they looked brand new but they they stopped showing up on the streets in mid 2020 and in early 2021 i found them in an apartment parking garage covered in dust while working at a welding jobsite

according to people who live there the guy who owned them went to the hospital with covid and never came back

70s Maserati indy 4.7 and 70s Lancia scorpion

there is only 300 something of those Maserati's ever built worldwide

Word I actually got one for my phone I'll actually do that

[raw cosmos]

2021 tyres would be super flatspotted by now if they actually didn’t move at_all but those are some epic old garage finds BMW, Lancia, Maserati . Could still be some old people died from covid if they move much less frequently and became dusty

[hexed kayak]

thats not really a thing anymore with modern tires

This car here has 2018 firestone winterforce 2s on it and it hasnt rolled since 2020 and i put those winter tires on my volvo s60 a couple months ago and drove around with them over inflated to 50 psi for 150 km then dropped down to 35 and it was like they had never sat

You can even see the car has sunk into the ground a bit

[hexed kayak]

Rove r2 4k

I use it and its pretty good

@vocal mural

[charred depot]

Me and friends have driven lots of cars that have been parked for ages with over 20 year old tyres. I tend not to anymore as it is very annoying when your tyre randomly comes apart on the motorway.

even more annoying when you realise the car doesent have a jack in it

[hexed kayak]

a volvo wouldnt give 2 shits

my s60 is a few weeks away from having gone through its second winter with bare unpainted metal showing and it hasnt rusted yet

its got nothing that can go wrong

seats are manual

it doest have the haldex pump and bevel gear which like to fail on awd cars and is really expensive to fix
no power seats so that can never break,no sunroof that can leak or break, no premium audio with an expensive proprietary amp in a place that gets wet often, no 4c suspension that can fail

[worldly oasis]

P2 is invincible

[hexed kayak]

the one in this video is the same spec as your car

[worldly oasis]

So what you’re saying is I can run over deer no problem?

[hexed kayak]

i know someone who hit a deer in theirs

one sec

[worldly oasis]

😭bro knows everything

[hexed kayak]

You can see the fur still on the fender

@worldly oasis

[worldly oasis]

That’s baller

[hexed kayak]

[hexed kayak]

That s60:

[worldly oasis]

It would buff out

Anywho, when mine hits 60k miles I have some new spark plugs for it too

[hexed kayak]

how you found the service guide at the back of the manual yet?

[worldly oasis]

I’ve read through that thing like 20 gajillion times

But now that you mention it I’ll read it again

[hexed kayak]

if you follow it your car should end up like mine

[worldly oasis]

Like the maintenance interval thing

[hexed kayak]

minus all the weird eletrical issues you will have

[hexed kayak]

yes

[worldly oasis]

Imma stay on top of that yeah

Timing belt is at 70k miles right?

Along with the bearings and water pump

[hexed kayak]

[worldly oasis]

Ok we get it trucks had cool commercials

[hexed kayak]

if yuo wanna do it properly you are gonna be doing alot more than plugs at 60k. 60k is a full inspection of fluid level and wear on everything

[misty mantle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rJACm79UPU

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD6cvAJWPbc

[worldly oasis]

We will check on that too yeah

[hexed kayak]

my cars milage has gone past that service paper

[worldly oasis]

Tragic

[hexed kayak]

so i just started over

[misty mantle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu-EXx65JkE

[hexed kayak]

it ends at 150k and the last one i did was the 45k mile service

[misty mantle]

I wish I had the book for my bronco 😢

Or at least the window sticker....

[hexed kayak]

you should see what its like for cobalts

there was never any service guide at all for them

[worldly oasis]

It’s a Chevy they aren’t supposed to last anyways

[hexed kayak]

so people just winged it and its led to a never ending facebook group argument about what the proper way to take care of them is

[worldly oasis]

I do have a 2001 jeep Cherokee with 265k miles

[misty mantle]

I'll probably nab a owners manual for my truck off ebay eventually, and probably find one for my grandpas '96 silverado too

[worldly oasis]

Love the 4.0 for that

[misty mantle]

Best engine ever put in a Jeep

[worldly oasis]

So true

[misty mantle]

The pentastar V6 is absolute trash

[worldly oasis]

Transmission knocks like crazy when that gives out I’m manual swapping it

[hexed kayak]

it feels weird to me that all this info is just readily available owning a volvo

[worldly oasis]

Oh yeah do you have all weather floor mats Bob Ross?

[hexed kayak]

like the extent of advanced documentation i have for cobalts is 6 pdf versions of gm performance books on how to build the ecotec/ factory build guide books

[misty mantle]

lol

[worldly oasis]

Rensi makes baller ass floor mats on ipdusa’s website

[misty mantle]

I wish weathertech made floor mats for at least vehicles as old as '80

[misty mantle]

I would grab a set for my Bronco II in a heartbeat

[hexed kayak]

yes i have the oem ones for the s60

[worldly oasis]

Fancy

I couldn’t find those anywhere

[hexed kayak]

my car came with them

[worldly oasis]

Dang

🥰

[hexed kayak]

have fun with those though. water still gets under them and into the carpet but because of the mats it never ever dries

[worldly oasis]

Yippie

[misty mantle]

Rip, my truck has some sort of leak on the passenger side front, I think it may be the heater core going

It gets wet even when I haven't driven through a puddle

[hexed kayak]

go undo the clips for your air filter box and rev the engine

[hexed kayak]

dash revomal time

[worldly oasis]

Ok I’ll do it next time I go for a drive

[misty mantle]

Meh, I don't know for sure yet

Water pump also leaks, I wanna get that fixed first

[worldly oasis]

Do you keep em unclipped permanently?

[hexed kayak]

no 💀

[worldly oasis]

Ok just making sure

[misty mantle]

Good way to kill the engine because of dirt consumption

I wanna 302-swap my Bronco eventually

That 2.9 V6 has got some power, but that truck could definitely use more power

[worldly oasis]

I did find a cold air intake for the 2.5t

Might get that eventually

[hexed kayak]

just leave the car alone and it will last forever

[worldly oasis]

But that’s boring

[misty mantle]

My mom had a GMC Canyon with the I5 when I was little

[hexed kayak]

thats why you buy something to mess with. like my purple car. there isnt onepart of that car that hasnt been tampered with

[worldly oasis]

So basically I sell my jeep and buy a more fun shitbox

[misty mantle]

Nah, MAKE the jeep a more fun shitbox

[hexed kayak]

the extent of my fucking around with the s60 ended at ripping out all the junk stock speakers and the headunit

[worldly oasis]

Impossible

That jeep is already amazingly fun

But like inoperable on public roadways 😍

[misty mantle]

There's always turning it into a full-on crawler....

[worldly oasis]

Ew no

We have 2 other jeeps for that anyways

[misty mantle]

Oh

In that case......

[worldly oasis]

All with the 4.0

I need to save up for moving out anyways

[misty mantle]

Thats fair

[worldly oasis]

I’m at least putting new wheels on the s60 the old ones are insanely curbed

So curbed there was a 1” diameter chunk all the way to the sidewall wire of the tire when we got it

[hexed kayak]

Stock with a head unit vs a bunch of cheap kicker speakers and a 1000w amp

[misty mantle]

I just recently put a new transmission in my truck because Ford

[hexed kayak]

No sub woofer even

[worldly oasis]

I need to do new speakers soon

[coarse jewel]

Just realized this might be a good place to ask, anyone familiar with head-unit swaps on cars? I'm planning on swapping the head-unit in my car with something that does android auto and shit. From what I've been reading I have basically the one trim level and model year of my car that makes it stupid easy compared to every other trim level or model year.

[misty mantle]

I've got the factory rears and the front dash speakers are out of my dads '23 Bronco Big Bend

[hexed kayak]

https://www.crutchfield.ca/S-tfv7Y5xjfR8/

search by your car

it will tell you what works

[coarse jewel]

[hexed kayak]

what car?

[coarse jewel]

I have a 2015 WRX, Sport-Tech (not an STI, highest non-STI trim level)

Harmon-Kardon speaker set and stuff

[hexed kayak]

does it have nav?

[coarse jewel]

yeah, touch-screen and stuff

This is almost what I have, just without the buttons around the climate control stuff.

[hexed kayak]

gonna have to spend like 320$ to make it work in your car lol

[misty mantle]

Car audio equipment isn't cheap on newer vehicles

[hexed kayak]

it is on old shit

[coarse jewel]

Oh, is that kit not included in the head-unit stuff?

[hexed kayak]

18$ harness adapter and a 12$ volvo antenna adapter was all i needed for my s60

[misty mantle]

I know, I got a cheap Kenwood head unit for my truck for christmas

Install took me about a hour

[hexed kayak]

no its different for every car

[misty mantle]

Crutchfield makes it a bit easier to get the parts

[coarse jewel]

Subaru was about 5 years behind on entertainment systems back then. Which is why it doesn't have android auto ;-;

[hexed kayak]

my purple cobalt needs a module to keep turn signal sounds and a few other features but my black one doesnt lol

[misty mantle]

GM moment

[worldly oasis]

I got the fancy can adapter for steering wheel controls

Worth it if you want to splurge

[hexed kayak]

i never use it in any car i have so i never buy them

[misty mantle]

I would have kept the "factory" AM/FM/Cassette head unit in my truck if the amp in it wasn't fucked

[hexed kayak]

find some old eletronics repair dude on deaths door and get him to fix it

[coarse jewel]

There's a place not to far from where I live that does the swap, the guy on the phone roughly estimated $1100, I'm waiting on a more detailed quote via email.

[misty mantle]

I might some day

[coarse jewel]

I was debating between DIY and doing it through that store.

[hexed kayak]

i paid like half that for a stock to full sound system install on my car that i did myself

[coarse jewel]

https://naturalsound.ca/product/kenwood-6-8-dvd-receiver-with-bluetooth-ddx6706s/

This is probably the unit I'd be getting if I did it through the store.

[misty mantle]

Though that radio was cobbled into the harness because that truck originally came with a AM/FM radio because its a XL trim, and one of the previous owners put a AM/FM/Cassette radio out of a XLT trim Bronco II in it

Speaker connector pinout isn't the same between the 2

[hexed kayak]

[misty mantle]

Worst part of the previous owners install was they used wire nuts instead of butt connectors

And 0 electrical tape

[hexed kayak]

2 12in subs 6 tweeters and 4 6in speakers all packed into an economy coupe

[coarse jewel]

tbh despite the massive sub in my car it's actually not super bassy, which I like because to much bass can drown out the engine noise.

[hexed kayak]

its probably out of phase

[coarse jewel]

No it's just well balanced and I tend to listen to classic rock where the bass is moreso in the background.

[misty mantle]

I have my radio cranked because I put a new shifter in and the factory shift boot doesn't fit, so I can hear engine noise from the shifter hole

[hexed kayak]

Thats what bass knobs are for

[wraith rivet]

I appreciate it not being overdone

a lot of people I know just wanna throw the biggest sub they can in for a tiny car and I’m like..

it’s gonna sound like shit if it’s just all bass

yours seems to be tuned very nicely

[copper salmon]

less than 10k miles

I'm just waiting for my connecting rods then it's all coming out

I'll be doing a clutch and trans rebuild around after the break in period of the motor

I'll probably end up putting longer gearing in it cause haha cam and turbo

[hollow pasture]

Dam thats mintish

[misty mantle]

Some gas and a battery and it'll run for sure

[hexed kayak]

honestly it probably would. making it so it doesnt fall to peices when you put it in gear is another story

[hollow pasture]

if it doesn't just throw giggle juice at it till it coughs or throws a rod to orbit

[misty mantle]

It'll be fiiiiinnnnneeee

[hexed kayak]

id buy it and a base model 87 monte and take the floor and trunk pan from it and put it in that areo coupe get an okay frame for it annd then watch the boomers be mad at my numbers matching nascar

[misty mantle]

Haters gonna hate

[brave egret]

Has anyone here installed a sub in a dodge challenger having some issues could use help

[rugged lynx]

looks like dayton reference but its silver looking?

[tepid wing]

I'll hopefully be getting a car in the next few months!

I'd really like to have a plug-in hybrid but I'm guessing those are either going to be really expensive or really high mileage?

I also have no idea what mileage should be considered the upper limit for what I buy.

That doesn't look like a lot

[limber whale]

It’s easier to see in person

[wraith rivet]

that is a lot

Mercedes downpipe for my Peugeot 305

Just a built XUD with Merc sprinter turbo strapped to it

Nothing too crazy turbo wise, just more modern and efficient so will spool up quicker and not make so much heat.

[misty mantle]

You're asking in a chat where 1/3 of us drive shitboxes......

[wispy cloak]

Kar

[feral reef]

That's a nice spec

That shit near the horizontal fan is a crime though

[viscid atlas]

It's just scent

[feral reef]

exactly, a crime

[viscid atlas]

I like how it smells lol

[feral reef]

😂

[viscid atlas]

Air quality isn't the best here, when I drive with the top up I need something that smells nice

[feral reef]

Okay, but surely you won't deny that it's an eye sore

[viscid atlas]

It's not that bad, atleast the color matches

I could've put the blue silver one instead

I did move it to the left though, on the right it was blocking in inside fins of the vent

[feral reef]

I've got a magsafe phone holder close to the same spot

[viscid atlas]

I use the cars multimedia for the phone so I don't need a phone holder

I do have one though, somewhere

Also I had to get a USB thingy from Motorola to make it work with Android wirelessly

No wireless Android auto on these

[feral reef]

Don't the new ones have wireless AA? or does that only work for Carplay

[viscid atlas]

Mines a 2023

[feral reef]

mhh, must be only Carplay then

[viscid atlas]

It has AA, just not wireless

[feral reef]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying

[viscid atlas]

Yeah, it works like wireless AA with the Motorola thing though

Basically just mimicks having the phone connected

[feral reef]

I'm aware, considered getting one

Not really a fan of the compromises though

[viscid atlas]

It's a bit slow to connect, otherwise it's ok

[feral reef]

And I kind of like the current setup

Cable from the port is like the exact length required, so look super sleak

[viscid atlas]

I have a fold, so a phone holder and this phone would just take up too much XD

I do need a shorter cable

[feral reef]

I was going to call that a crime too but didn't wanna be too negative

[stoic ledge]

I have a wireless dongle, because the AA port charges so slow it drains my battery

[viscid atlas]

Yea the cables just what I had on hand. Finding a quality USB A to C cable that's that short is difficult

Yeah the AA port charges way too slow. The normal port is good enough though

[stoic ledge]

Yeah same, so I have the dongle in the AA port and then the phone charging from the regular charge port

[feral reef]

Belkin

They make really short ones

[feral reef]

So on mine the original ports were awfully slow

But with the CarPlay upgrade they make the ports actually useful

[viscid atlas]

I wanna turbo it, the 1.5 is kinda too weak

It's rly good once it's going though

[worldly oasis]

Just get a 2.5t Volvo 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[fathom socket]

yeahh.....

meant it as a joke

and a lot of us can't drive

[nimble trout]

Hello vehicle people, i plan on lifting my 2002 Ford Ranger (leaf and coil suspension) 2 inches, i am not really a car guy but what new tire size would i need and would i need spacers?

[wraith rivet]

lmao

temu turbo anyone

[nimble trout]

Reimburse me and I’ll put it on my truck

[wraith rivet]

💀

does that reimbursement count for when it blows up too

[nimble trout]

Nah

[wraith rivet]

Lol

[nimble trout]

U a truck dude?

[wraith rivet]

Nah I wish

[hot fjord]

how to blow up your engine 101

[charred depot]

wuhan war whistle

[dull cedar]

Step 1: sell ranger
Step 2: buy hilux
Step 3: lift hilux
Step 4: put 17 inch steel or real forged aluminium wheels on it with 265/70/17 tyres on it

[novel relic]

Bruh temu turbo. That arrives, turns out its made out of plastic, and its 5cm large

[feral reef]

How much did you pay for it?

[rustic night]

It's now a 3 man job. We have to drop the WHOLE subframe cos its the "sports" version with rigidity bars that mean we can't drop the gearbox through the bottom

[native ermine]

smallest people always have the biggest vehicles i swear

[wispy cloak]

Just like me

[charred depot]

mines hidden down the back, fun if you need to remove it. I generally just remove the entire engine doesent take much longer and saves pain in the long run.

know someone that was going to fit a hx35 to a XUD

[wraith rivet]

If I put on rims that are .5 inch wider than stock do you think it’ll rub? need spacers of any kind?

of course my rims are shit and peeling still so it’s either spend $600-800 to get them powder coated or just buy 4 new ones for $800, but 7.5 inch wide rims are rare, everything’s 8

[charred depot]

stick your hand in and see how much space there is

when people fit silly rims they are usually a lower offset than OEM stuff so likely cancels out

lots of factors, best to just measure or if your car is common enough do some research as its probably been done before

[wraith rivet]

true

I’m just not trying to lower it or anything silly

a lot of these rims im looking at now have a 40mm (1.5”) offset built in, kinda making it even wider than how the rim is only 1” bigger

looking at 8.5” now that seems most common

oh crap

I’m looking and apparently the stock rims I have right now are already 48-52mm offset

[misty mantle]

Oh no, what happened to the 6.0?

[misty mantle]

Honestly, I would strip them and get them powder coated

[wispy cloak]

Old picture

From when I put new turbo in

Yes

Yep. A Ford F-350 Super Duty

[limber whale]

finally got my exhaust back on it’s rubber hangers

may or may not’ve just had it sitting on the metal support bars

[misty mantle]

Not wrong. Could use a 7.3

The diesel the excursion got was the 7.3 Powerstroke

The gasser is got was the Triton V10

[wispy cloak]

The excursion also had the 6.0

This is a 6.0 excursion

[cold anvil]

why is that car so big

are u carrying humans or elephants

this is why i believe suv owners should pay for 2 cars parking

if they take 2 spaces up

[wispy cloak]

That's an suv on a 3/4 ton truck chassis

Also it fits in one parking spot

And most parking here is not paid

[vocal mural]

The new bridge, 1km east of this bridge, have collapsed during lifting. 2 dead and 2 critically injured.

News article:

[misty mantle]

My brother in christ, THIS IS CLASSIFIED AS A 3/4 TON TRUCK

[misty mantle]

Didn't know the excursion got the 6.0 too, though it only had the 7.3 in terms of diesels

[wispy cloak]

The majority of the diesels add probably 6.0s

[hexed kayak]

Because its a truck that can pull your house off it’s foundation

It ain’t a car g

It’s a truck

[misty mantle]

We have a 7.3 Gas V8, and had a 7.3 Diesel V8 years ago

thats still crazy for towing?

what are u towing? a mansion

I've got a '03 Fourtrax Rancher 350

[worldly oasis]

Ily

[edgy locust]

1 have one from 1928 from tornax (germany) motorbike

[misty mantle]

My grandpa has a '60s Honda 55

[worldly oasis]

I should be getting a 49cc mini bike eventually

It’s chilling at my grandpas

[misty mantle]

I had it running a few years ago, but sadly snapped the kick-start shaft off

[edgy locust]

Honda has only generators and cars ?

[worldly oasis]

Nope

[edgy locust]

I have one

[worldly oasis]

Honda Motorsport is huge

[edgy locust]

In germany not

[misty mantle]

Nope. They make UTVs, ATVs, and motorcycles too

[worldly oasis]

You name it they have it in the states

[edgy locust]

Interresting

[edgy locust]

I know them but they are quite fast here

[worldly oasis]

That’s the one that has the rusted up diff now

[misty mantle]

This unit here is a utility quad

[worldly oasis]

I wonder why it’s rusted

[misty mantle]

[edgy locust]

Ahh i see

[misty mantle]

The fast ones are sport quads. I had one before I got this

[worldly oasis]

No wait that’s the shitty one that’s still working

The other one is in much better shape

[edgy locust]

You only see them here with sport, rinding on the autobahn with 220

[misty mantle]

They run them on the autobahn? jeez

[edgy locust]

Yess

But bikes are faster

[worldly oasis]

I want to motorize a shopping cart and drive it down the autobahn

[edgy locust]

It is possible

[misty mantle]

I'd get a dirt bike, but I still live with my parents and my mom would kill me

[worldly oasis]

Become a certain scenario with an rs6 all over again

[misty mantle]

Once I move out, I'm getting a old Honda dirtbike and ATC

[edgy locust]

I see me too but yeah i am doing my car driving permit at the moment later bike

[worldly oasis]

I’m moving to the city when I move out so I’m limited to what I keep in our sheds for stuff to ride

[wraith rivet]

@misty mantle @wispy cloak what size was the ford v10 that went in the excursion?

that engine is legendary (but explosive)

[worldly oasis]

7.3 iirc

[wraith rivet]

Oh really?

[misty mantle]

6.8L

[misty mantle]

No, thats the diesel

[worldly oasis]

Nvm 6.8

[worldly oasis]

And Godzilla

[misty mantle]

And that

The Powerstroke is better, tho

[worldly oasis]

Silly itty bitty engine

[edgy locust]

Haha

[wraith rivet]

but v10 truck 🥺

[worldly oasis]

I have half a v10 🥰

[edgy locust]

V6

[misty mantle]

I was saying the powerstroke is better than the godzilla, not the triton

[worldly oasis]

Mid

I5 best engine frfr

[misty mantle]

My bronco is a 2.9 V6

[edgy locust]

Audi rs6

[worldly oasis]

That’s a v8 goofy

[edgy locust]

No we put v6 in

[wraith rivet]

ohh I see

[worldly oasis]

What

[misty mantle]

My dad has a Trition V10 sitting in the warehouse at his work, its a generator and runs on natural gas

[wraith rivet]

the Triton is pretty cool

I’ve heard they can be finicky though

[worldly oasis]

4.6 modular is where it’s at

[misty mantle]

Would be better if the early 3-valve V8s didn't kill cam phasers and break spark plugs

[wraith rivet]

:o he converted a triton v10 to run on natural gas??

[edgy locust]

But you can do a v6 in it and .... and you have enough horses

[misty mantle]

Nah, it came from generac like that

[worldly oasis]

But why add a smaller engine 💀

The v8 sounds so good

[misty mantle]

Generac got the engine from ford and slapped a generator head and natural gas mixer on it

[wraith rivet]

that’s cool af

[edgy locust]

Enough, more then 500 ps

[misty mantle]

I think one of his co-workers had it running on propane at some point

[edgy locust]

280 on the autobahn crusing so

[worldly oasis]

Holy shit

[edgy locust]

Is it in the us not possible?

[worldly oasis]

We have speed limits here sadly

Not very well enforced tho you could easily do 280kmph on an empty road at night but also our roads are shit

[misty mantle]

I have to floor my truck to even stay at the speed limit

[worldly oasis]

L

[misty mantle]

2.9 V6 from the '80s moment

[edgy locust]

Ahh and we have better drinking age

Legal drinking age

[worldly oasis]

P2 Volvo is peak Swedish engineering, planning on cold air intake, tune, exhaust, and lowering with new wheels eventually

[misty mantle]

Don't you also have free healthcare?

[edgy locust]

Jup

[worldly oasis]

And yummy coal power plants

[edgy locust]

Nearly free so 40 euros

[edgy locust]

Is your drinking age 21?

[misty mantle]

Yeah

[edgy locust]

Oh

[misty mantle]
