TDU: SC?

Foam is indeed for A (Materials) and B (Liquids) (and the more expensive ones F (Fats)).

C is gases (Methane, Propane, Butane) although powder does more damage afterwards.

[civic spoke]

A = Ash
B = Barrel
C = Current
D = Dynamite

Those are the different classes.

Stuff that creates ash.
Stuff that comes in a barrel.
Electrical.
And lastly, combustible metals.

[white heart]

That is one ugly ass car

[violet meteor]

my car is a jetta 1.9 tdi

the timing belt has 40k km and 5 years, should i replace it or wait until i make 60k km ?

On the internet i see its recommended every 60k km OR 4 years, should i change it now since im past the 4 year?

[vocal mural]

Replace it with a chain

[violet meteor]

Not sure it has

[vocal mural]

Which Jetta? 3 or 4?

[violet meteor]

5

[fathom socket]

If it was cheap, i would own one if i could 🙂

[white heart]

I mean, any car cheap is good, I still don't like how it look

[hexed kayak]

@wheat hatch

[wheat hatch]

May it get back running again and last you a million miles

[hexed kayak]

Had this sitting around for 2 years and im throwing it on cause thr car is taken apart enough that i might as well

[violet meteor]

does this serpentine belt looks like needs replacing?

[civic spoke]

Looks fine enough to me?

May want to check the tensioners and pulleys if you can.

[fathom socket]

that is such a funky looking car. i like it.

[halcyon grotto]

doin the same job myself atm I think

hit a snag when I ordered the wrong damn oil separator

[white heart]

I "only" crashed 3 times

[wraith rivet]

the b1m >>

[hexed kayak]

on a volvo as well?

my car randomly shat itself and i already had the pcv kit on hand and was half way through a pcv job with what i was fixing on it so i just figured why not

I dont know for sure yet cause the car is still apart but im guessing this is throttle body issues cause it started 2 hours from home with a throttle actuator stuck code

Im giving the throttle body and intake system a good clean before i got out to a junkyard and pull one off a car that got crashed

it was pretty fucking gross tbh

its at 324k and it still got more in it

[nova vortex]

single player assetto corsa

[hexed kayak]

its only cost me 27$ in repairs over 2 years (tailight bulb and gauge cluster) so i hope i can get away with just a throttle body clean so i can still claim that

[violet meteor]

bad idea to put as reverse light?

[hexed kayak]

No

Your reverse lights have every right to be as blinding as possible

@violet meteor

[wraith rivet]

holy shit 😭

if someone's pissing you off in traffic push the clutch in and put it in reverse lmao

blind the shit out of them

No, can't recall i've seen it.

[white heart]

I like this one

[wraith rivet]

It looks like jay leno

Idk why lol

[stoic ledge]

Lol I can kinda see that xP

[stoic ledge]

Oxia is great tho

[cold cypress]

holy

[white heart]

This look like shit

[cold cypress]

well yes

[white heart]

Could be practical tho

[violet meteor]

Should I buy a continental or a dayco timing belt?

[halcyon grotto]

Yeees

Mine is just for the pcv though

[civic spoke]

All EQ products look bad.

[cold cypress]

no doubt it can carry a casket

[hexed kayak]

Continental

[violet meteor]

does it matter what car i have ?

what about water pump?

hepu or ina?

[civic spoke]

Continental are solid original equipment parts for the belts.

[languid spear]

Hi i coded my sweden audi a4 b7 to be canada about how the lights works is it posebole to code it some how the orange light is not thare its illegal to have it like that hare in sweden

[civic spoke]

Code it back to Swedish regulation. Or another region that fits your needs?
Guessing the lit corners is part of the regulations.

[hexed kayak]

it is

cars have to have "corner lights"

[civic spoke]

Just smash the lights.

[hexed kayak]

also sweden but an Audi instead of a volvo or saab

for shame.

[hexed kayak]

i know why

because you saw jay limo

@wraith rivet

https://pixarcars.fandom.com/wiki/Jay_Limo

[hexed kayak]

@stoic ledge

[languid spear]

I relly whant to have the other 2 lights without the corner lights beckuse now the low beam is on when the light switch is on and i whant the fog lights thare insted

[languid spear]

Its a Sweden A-traktor aka a "car" that only goes 30km/h

[halcyon grotto]

Will you be reusing the intake manifold gasket? It seems to me that you have to remove the thermostat or something to get the last manifold bolt out 😕

[civic spoke]

Can't you just set it to the parking lights while driving? And activate the fog lights?

[hexed kayak]

you can get it out with out taking it off

[civic spoke]

We all secretly (openly) hate A tractors.

[hexed kayak]

i did

[halcyon grotto]

Is there a trick to it?

[hexed kayak]

and my pcv kit came wih a new one

[halcyon grotto]

I tried undoing it but I just end up hitting the housing before the thread runs out

[hexed kayak]

ill show you the contraption i had

[halcyon grotto]

Ooo

[hexed kayak]

the bottom bolts dont need to be removed

just loosed

[halcyon grotto]

But for replacing the gasket I don't see how I can remove it without also removing the bolts

[hexed kayak]

The manifold comes off without removing any bottom bolts cause its all open @halcyon grotto

[halcyon grotto]

Ye I get the manifold

But the gasket

[hexed kayak]

After then manifold is off you just use a 10mm wrench

[halcyon grotto]

Hmm

[violet meteor]

whats the difference between all these color codes

[halcyon grotto]

For me the bottom left bolt gets stuck on the thermostat

So to remove the gasket I'd have to either remove the thermostat or cut the gasket

[languid spear]

True i just whanted to se if i culd do that without moving the light switch

[hexed kayak]

@halcyon grotto

[halcyon grotto]

Huh

For me that bolt just gets stuck on the thermostat

Maybe my model is slightly different

[civic spoke]

I replaced my shocks last weekend. Good thing that you can do it on the ground. 💪

[hexed kayak]

just force. it mine did too the first time

[civic spoke]

A little bit of seepage.

[hexed kayak]

mine is an 05 2.5 turbo motor

[halcyon grotto]

Mine is 05 na

[hexed kayak]

any whiteblock will be the same

[halcyon grotto]

I'll just try with more force then

[hexed kayak]

use a 10mm key wrench

[halcyon grotto]

Thy will be done 🫡

[stoic ledge]

LOL nice

[hexed kayak]

am i wrong?

[stoic ledge]

I've seen it so very likely that reference is somewhere deep in my brain

[hexed kayak]

that audi is probably so fucking mad about that

autobahn car doomed to live at 30kph till you get older

[languid spear]

Pffft we got it for 2k and it whas aboanded for 6 years before we bougt it beckuse the oil pump drive axel did not the spin the oil pump enymore but enginge survided the turbo did not so we just replaced the middel part now we have 0.8bar bost presure agen 😎

Its only the 103kw/140hp engine tho its sline tho (its the 8ed model)

[sturdy tree]

😂 when giving space to merge isn't enough

[hexed kayak]

@halcyon grotto what happened

[halcyon grotto]

havent had a chance yet

I'll let you know when i do

prolly gonna wait until I get the right part

[wraith rivet]

Omg actually

that’s where you speed up not go slower than a tricycle

then they cause everybody already on the freeway to hit their brakes and cause unnecessary traffic

[charred depot]

Especially annoying when you are driving stuff with 50hp alot of the sliproads here are downhill from a overhead roundabout onto a uphill motorway. Cant really gain speed once it goes uphill.

[wraith rivet]

yeah makes sense

[pale sluice]

I don’t think the dash cam speedometer is working properly…

[stoic ledge]

Average Dutch lease car driver 😛

[stoic ledge]

It is, GPS speedometer has a delay

[pale sluice]

That's a massive delay, I must say.

[sturdy tree]

Yeah me too, but most of us don't cut off others because we use our mirrors

[sturdy tree]

Why? I go from 100 to 75. It just takes a while to update lol

[civic spoke]

Think about what it has to do. And it isn't that bad.

Looked at the video. Delay isn't even that bad.

[sturdy tree]

Probably slightly slower than most phones tbh

[civic spoke]

Which wouldn't surprise me. Slower processing and all of that.

[stoic ledge]

Americans be like "What's a Mondeo?! It's a Fusion!"

[spring basin]

they discontinued the fuckers and I’m sad

The US is just allergic to fkin sedans suddenly

everything must needlessly be a crossover or suv

[stoic ledge]

Same for Ford in Europe tbh

In China they have a "sedan" e.g. raised sedan shape cross-over as Mondeo/Fusion replacement

Ford Evos, or now Mondeo Sport, and a low sedan also apparently (Mondeo, non-Sport)

[fathom socket]

2024 Chrysler Halcyon Concept

[civic spoke]

A Fusion of what? /s

[white heart]

look like a car from cyberpunk, its also just bland as fuck

[fathom socket]

Judging by older concept cars from other decades, i bet this is the standard look cars will have from 2030 and forward. Sadly

[white heart]

sad

I parked by myself for a fucking reason dickhole

Punishment for not reversing in the spot

Tbh, they parked at the side where probably nobody is getting in or out of, so it's actually safe like this

[wraith rivet]

Hey @hexed kayak I’m still on the jetski adventure. Taking it to the lake rn, gonna baby it and hope to burn off the water in the oil

Do I have to keep the dipstick cap off a bit so the steam can escape? Last time I had it running that thing was billowing steam lol. I just don’t know if that steam pressure could cause any problems or if it has somewhere to escape

somewhere to escape already*

[hexed kayak]

google if that motor has a pcv system

[halcyon grotto]

Luv a pcv system

Still haven't got the part yet but the company is happy to swap them so that's good

[stiff bloom]

What car? 🤔

[charred depot]

Mazda 2, would be worse if it was a Mazda 3

[stiff bloom]

o jeez

[wraith rivet]

It did well

At first it was bogging down when under throttle but at the end the oil looked to be the correct color

And not milky at all 🎉🎉

I’ll change it one more time and spark plugs and it’ll be golden

[pure pond]

this must be safe right

[compact grotto]

@dusk ocean ahh the good old days (i'm going through old pics again, also that's not me but a buddy)

I have no memory of this

but that is certainly an M3 steering rack onthe ground

another.. carnage

[dusk ocean]

Booo lux m3

[compact grotto]

so slow

[dusk ocean]

Or 328?

[compact grotto]

its an M3

[dusk ocean]

Looks like OBD2 intake but hard to tell

I think that's OBD2 throttle

[compact grotto]

one of the purples, my buddy was all about it

violet something

[dusk ocean]

Yeah it techno violet

But doesn't have the sport twist skirts

Ltw wheels so prob a like 97?

[compact grotto]

I haven't talked to that guy in years but I remember he had that purple M3 an a black M3 vert

That picture was like 2015

I dunno which year it was

[dusk ocean]

Was he doing a z3 rack?

[compact grotto]

tbh I don't even remember that happening lol

that aluminum floor jack though, best purchase ever, its still alive

bought that in like 2010

it still lives at my parents place.. only a little leaky

[dusk ocean]

Yep I have that one

Devcon has about another week to cure then we can drill coolant passages

[violet meteor]

can i drive with yellow/amber OIL Indicator?

at least until home

[spring basin]

I wouldn’t until I checked oil levels

and/or oil pressure if I could

[civic spoke]

It usually lights when oil is reaching low levels.

But it could also mean a bad sensor, idk

[violet meteor]

Yeah is it bad if i wait that light to come up every few months?

or should i check regularly

with the stick

[civic spoke]

You should check the stick with every other fuel up, usually.

[violet meteor]

so waiting for the light can damage the car?

[civic spoke]

Amber lights are warnings to alert you that stuff needs attention.
Preventative maintenance is key. Deal with stuff before they ever has a chance to become an issue.

[charred depot]

I dont understand people in cars with modern power steering and yet straightline roundabouts the height of laziness

[white heart]

SUVs driver are geniunly the worst

[hard sandal]

So the 2.3L Kompressor in my gf’s car is stupid easy to do a headgasket on

Had the head off in less than 4 hours

Could’ve had it done same day if we could’ve had the head machined and had a slide hammer readily available

[mental finch]

thats M111 for you, simple yet dead reliable

my familiy used to have a W202 C180 that was rusted through and through, almost falling apart but that car just kept on driving. sold it in 2017 to a guy from africa. pretty sure that thing is still driving around down there somewhere

[hard sandal]

Being in North America I get shit on constantly for liking German cars but they’re really not bad

[mental finch]

they're good if you take care of them

i got a E46 318ti Compact right now as my first car after selling my bike

fun to drive but needs some work, suspension and bushings are done for after 200.000km (125k miles)

[hard sandal]

Yeah

They aren’t bad to work on either

[compact grotto]

which picture looks better? I mean from a photography standpoint neither of them.. but I really wanted those tails for my USDM Mk6 GTI

[limber whale]

One was taken with an iPhone, one was taken with a modified film camera from 30 years ago. Professional they are not lol

Couldn’t tell you where I got the taillights from though. I bought the car and it had them already installed

[violet meteor]

how often you change accesory /serpentine belt?I bought a SH car and idk when he changed it but it looks like this

does it need changing?

[pure pond]

for what i see its still good no cracking and still got grooves

[violet meteor]

can it go for at least half a year from now?

[pure pond]

yeah i think so, and if it breaks its not that terrible

[dusky torrent]

the honda accord kinda fell off

[civic spoke]

The sedan fell off.

Can't even get a normal car from many manufacturers these days.

[hollow pasture]

The accord isn't selling very well because the average consumer wants suvs or subcompacts

[civic spoke]

That sounds really fun

At least ur intercooler doesn't look like this

[violet meteor]

my car always made a hissing sound but idk

Thought its normal

[violet meteor]

?

[violet meteor]

damn

how

[hollow pasture]

Well, it was already cracked and unusable

So it became my hitting object when I got mad

[civic spoke]

And then you have the guy who gold plated his for like $20k.

[terse raptor]

I saw a black wrapped one on the road the other day

It's funny how they make it available in one option but everyone else just covers it up with a wrap or some other stupid expensive things

[terse raptor]

It was Jerry rig everything and it was like 60k

Without labor

[civic spoke]

That's what it was.

[tepid wing]

I saw one the other day and man it's ugly and looks like it shouldn't be legal.

[hexed kayak]

There has to be atleast one

First stainless steel car in 40 years it gotta have atleast one kicking around to “be like” the delorean

[hard sandal]

That almost looks like a rendering I thought it was GTA at first

[native ermine]

ngtl that looks pretty cool

[terse raptor]

That's exactly how I have my delorean painted in GTA

[native ermine]

MasterCard DeLoreans

they were gold

you were supposed to be able to get one with a high enough credit score

gonna use this to keep track of maintenance

That's a decent idea, I generally put the receipts in the glove box.

[wispy cloak]

@hexed kayak there's a Cobalt SS on power tour

[hexed kayak]

show

[tepid wing]

Cobalt SS?

[wispy cloak]

Don't have pictures

But it's purple

[wispy cloak]

Yes

[tepid wing]

I didn't know there were sport Cobalts, interesting.

[white heart]

So I just learned this exist I kinda want one now

[wispy cloak]

They're supercharged

[tepid wing]

Or turbo charged apparently.

[winged raft]

How is this worth like 5k still

[tepid wing]

Is it like a Ferrari where they will rebuild it?

[civic spoke]

He obviously knows what he has.

[winged raft]

Hell no

You can get a running one for like 6k

[civic spoke]

Btw. Can't rebuild that. Far gone.

[winged raft]

Low mileage like 50k miles for less than 10,000

[civic spoke]

It's worth at most scrap value.

[winged raft]

Exactly

Engine doesn't look good either

[wispy cloak]

Early ones were supercharged

The one on power tour is supercharged

[tepid wing]

I looked it up on Wikipedia right away, it's kinda cool.

One of these days I'm going to want to buy a car to convert and I'm wondering how important having the motors go through the same gear ratios is. I know the top speed would be limited by the "slower" gearing, but besides that I'm not sure if it would be problematic.

[winged raft]

I want to buy an E92 and B58 swap it but that shit would be too complicated

Germany will cut out on 95 E5 petrol in favour of HVO100 “Biodiesel”

Sources: NDR and Top Gear

[civic spoke]

So the 95 will become E10? Or...
HVO is understandable. But that's diesel. Can't put that in a petrol car.

[stoic ledge]

Now Germany has for petrol 95E10, 95E5, 98E5 (and then sometimes 102)

So changing the pump 95E5 to HVO100, for petrol you'll only have 95E10 and 98E5

Same as in NL or Belgium

[civic spoke]

Okay. It was as I thought then. Makes sense in my eyes. Tbh

All 95 is E10 here in Sweden.

[white heart]

Kinda cool ngl

[vocal mural]

Some stupid leftist moves that will junk the engine

[civic spoke]

I guess. More ethanol content with E10.

[fathom socket]

Looks like your head woud stick out, but the carseats go deep so probably not.

[white heart]

Good point

[vocal mural]

Normal diesel does also contain “bio” stuff. Up to 7% vegetable oil

[civic spoke]

Yeah. But HVO is 100% renewable?

[violet meteor]

is that thing an issue ? (serpentine belt)

tried blowing on it but wont go away

[pure pond]

thats fine

[fathom socket]

Kerosene would maybe work? If you own a Ford Model T, it would definitively work.

[hollow pasture]

Just run e85 smh

It's cleaner for the motor and environment

[vocal mural]

No. I run on LPG, cheaper, cleaner burn and 110 octane

[vocal mural]

It can be

[hollow pasture]

The only benefit of LPG over e85 is the price, and knock resistance

Otherwise it's e85 all day

[civic spoke]

Milage.

E85 isn't as energy dense.

[tepid wing]

110 octane? Doesn't it cap out at 100?

[hollow pasture]

I drive a 500hp turbo honda, gas mileage is gonna be mediocre at best no matter what

My buddies b18c1 swapped del sol is only on 8psi for right now and it's already making 330 to the wheels

Motor is built for 16psi minimum

28psi on the top end

[paper sandal]

my car runs super bad on e10 ptrol

but back in poland even the 98 was e10

it's either my car does not like e10 or the fuel quality is carp

[hexed kayak]

How old is your car

[paper sandal]

2001 yaris 1.3 vvt

[hexed kayak]

Its just old and worn thats why.

The older and more worn an engine gets the more it needs premium fuel to run normally

[paper sandal]

but it's funny how I get better fuel economy than a newer same car

[hexed kayak]

New cars suck

[paper sandal]

I mean it's the same car, but a 2005 model and half of the km on it

alltrough never ran it on e10 becuase none is sold here

[hexed kayak]

I used to have a 2.0 n/a 2017 hyundai tuscan. My much heavier 20 year old turbocharged 5cyl volvo thats almost driven to the moon gets better milage than it

[paper sandal]

with my 2001 yaris on e5 I get 640 KM on highway range

with e10 I get just 520-560km range

I should probably get a better car.
Going on 4000 KM trips with a subcompact car isn't the comfiest

[violet meteor]

am i blind or theres no fluid here?

[hexed kayak]

How i leave the weed dispensary every single time in this car. first gear is uselsss in this car

[civic spoke]

Probably right at the seam. Shine a light to make it easier to see. You can also see the color of the liquid if you do.

[violet meteor]

I do shine a light in the pic

or you mean closer?

[civic spoke]

Yeah, just hold it against it.

[violet meteor]

i think this is the fluid below ?

[civic spoke]

It's probably right around the seem of it.

Brake reservoirs like to do that.

[civic spoke]

I'm sorry. But did you take this picture with a toaster?

[vocal mural]

LPG is now €0,68 today. Meanwhile petrol is around €1,99

[violet meteor]

is it enough though?

[stoic ledge]

€1.738 for 98E5

Still €83 🥲

i thought you had one

[wispy cloak]

All gas is e10 here

[wispy cloak]

That's like the same color as the one I saw on power tour

[vocal mural]

That is Belgium

[stoic ledge]

Yes

I love how I was able to out 47.74L in a 48L tank

47L tank even

[hexed kayak]

my cobalt ss took 52L yesterday to fill up

the tank is only 50

[stoic ledge]

Classic

I think they have like a 5L buffer or something

[vocal mural]

I once had 25l of LPG in my 23l tank

[stoic ledge]

Nice, but possible as the tank is actually 28.75L then but you're only allowed to use 80%

[hexed kayak]

ive been wanting to find out how much gas a cobalt truly holds for like 8 years

maybe one of these days when im super low on gas ill let it run out in the parking lot of the gas station and then just push it to a pump and fill it till it spills out the fill neck

[prime pumice]

it has a reserve tank as do all older vehicles

[hexed kayak]

who told you that load of horse shit

[vocal mural]

I have 2 tanks. One LPG and one petrol

[flint sable]

Good morning, let’s bmw

Lil bro is used to dually trucks and bikes

It's ok

[hollow pasture]

Have you considered getting a tial blow off valve and wastegate?

Tial fucks fr

[limber whale]

I am a pro at burning 10 miles of range in 3 miles

[hexed kayak]

i had one and took it off cause it makes little weenie noises

[hollow pasture]

Aw man

Bro just doesn't have a big enough turbo to support the full wastegate and blow off

Ez fix

[hexed kayak]

[hollow pasture]

Real shit do you have the stock turbo or nah?

[bitter compass]

Excuse me my ignorance but camaro still exists doesn't it?

[versed fern]

The Camaro was discontinued at the end of the 2024 model year. Production ended in December 2023.However, Chevrolet has stated, "This is not the end of Camaro's story."

[wind peak]

Yo how bad of a mistake would it be if I said yes to this lol

(Ignore the 16.55% interest rate, they did try to get me on that but I've got a credit union who'll do lower)

[novel relic]

North belgium to cap d ais, monaco, nice to Barcelona, to then now nearly paris, and tomorrow homm, heavy week for this old girl, the alps aren't kind to my rusty radiator

[spring basin]

16.5K for a 10 year old base model mustang? quite a mistake imo lmao

oh I just saw the mileage lol

but still.. meh

[wind peak]

Yeah, it's a clean, low mileage example. One owner, summer car, bone stock, all that jazz. The difference in price going from a V6 to a V8 in my area is 10-15k, which is why I'm even considering it in the first place

[spring basin]

14’s… that’s around when the cyclone V6’s started right?

[wind peak]

Cyclones were 2011 to 2017 so yeah

[spring basin]

If so, they’re still pretty fun

idk if I’d want to pay that much for one though

[wind peak]

The market is kinda screwed right now yeah. I've heard people being able to get clean low mileage Coyote's for 15k back in 2019. Now they're 25-30k.

That V6 stickered for 22k back in 2014, and now they're asking enough that the final price, after all the fees and interest and junk, would be 19.7k. For a ten year old base model car with 30k miles

part of me wants to wait and save up for the next four years and buy the car I actually want, an S550 Mach 1. But part of me is so impatient that I just want any car to satiate me until that becomes a possibility. Even if it means just dropping 5k for the V6 50k mile new edge mustang down at the local used car lot in my town, just so that I have something other than my boring daily to have fun with for the time being

[charred depot]

didnt think id be doing 30 year old shitbox patches on a 10 year old normie car

every corner basically a patch this size

was still welding to rust so is quite shocking but hidden behind plastic covers so no worries.

curse shite tyre places using these areas as jacking points wrecking all the coating

[hollow pasture]

Doing a clutch upgrade on a 23 si today

[supple anchor]

0 to not fast enough run

[hollow pasture]

It's getting a lightweight flywheel and a stage 2 clutch to handle the power, stock clutch started slipping really bad at 280ft lbs

Shits only got 15k miles

[hexed kayak]

that thing would be perfect for where i live

Too much cause it's a used bmw

[silk crystal]

OEM 17" to RX-8 18" wheels

[misty mantle]

Well, did some 4x4ing with my dad and a few of my dads coworkers today. Had one of his coworkers in my Bronco II with me, I think it either ran out of gas because my fuel gauge/sender is fucked up or he kicked the inertia switch while we were going over some bumps (didn't think of this until we were already half way home after my dad circled around and picked us up). Gonna take a couple cans of gas out to it tmrw and throw it in and check the switch to see if it was tripped
Currently parked on the side of a main trail on National forest land

Hoping it just needs gas or it was the inertia switch

[silk crystal]

Yeah true

[tepid wing]

I'm doing a little road tripping this weekend, I definitely found my limit but it just happened to be my destination anyway so that's a win.

A little under 300 miles for my first one isn't bad.

[novel relic]

Everything seeeems to point to waterpump so getting it towed back

[misty mantle]

@wraith rivet Any update on that jet ski?

[misty mantle]

Boutta head out to recover my truck

[cold cypress]

just found a v10 phaeton for 9k ffffffff

mileage is insane

LOL WTF

[wraith rivet]

its all good 😎 😎

took it to the lake, at first wouldn't start but just the battery was dead

over the day took it easy for the most part and kept an eye on it and the oil

the color slowly went from pure white milky to perfectly normal oil by the end

gonna change oil+filter one more time and also plugs and she'll be golden

no high pitched noise at all so i guess my theory about it being out of water was correct

[misty mantle]

What ended up being wrong with it?

[brittle totem]

Yeah that sucks 💸

[civic spoke]

Rip that Egg.

[bitter compass]

Great an audi with 100k km and someone messed with it a lot

[cold cypress]

all for the low low price of 50k

[wispy cloak]

Goodbye second gear

It was nice knowing you

[wraith rivet]

nothin it just got flooded from the hose but it didn't do any damage

just water in the oil

no bad bearings or seals or anything it's all good

[misty mantle]

Update on my truck. Got out to it, turns out a combination of no battery hold down and a badly corroded ground wire was the issue. Got the ground wire secured to the terminal and put a strap on the battery to hold it down and drove ‘er home

[misty mantle]

The grinding noise was just the jet drive being out of the water, then?

[wraith rivet]

I think it might've been the seal around the jet drive specifically

something called a "carbon seal" that's used on sea doos

goes over the shaft from inside the hull to where the jet is or somn

[misty mantle]

Assuming the noise stopped after it got out on the water?

[wraith rivet]

Yea it never came back

even started it for Iike 10 seconds out of the water before and no noise

[misty mantle]

That's good

[wraith rivet]

So I guess it just heated up too much from being out of the water, even with the hose that seal doesn’t get water so you’re not supposed to run it for super long

yeah fr

big relief

[misty mantle]

One of the Dakotas?

[frosty dust]

Audi A3 2013 with Stage 1 Software Tuning, pretty good for my first car :D.

It may only have 150 hp but this thing is so light, that it feels like 300 hp easily, second gear on this guy is stronger than first.

With the Tuning it has 184 HP though

[civic spoke]

Probably more the size that makes it feel faster. Still a fairly heavy car.
180+ hp is healthy for any car of that size. 0-100 kmh in what? 7 seconds?

[frosty dust]

Its 1300kg

And If shifted right its under 5 Seconds actually.

Its a CR Version so the Turbo is Double the size of the usual A3 models

:D

[flint sable]

0-100kmh eventually

[civic spoke]

I've done 100+ kmh with my truck.
It's limited to 90 kmh.

[charred depot]

youll need 300hp generally for a under 5 second 0-60 in ideal conditions in a 1300kg car

[civic spoke]

Yeah. Kinda pressing X to Doubt the sub-5 second time.

It's the TDI?

[fathom socket]

Will cars in the future be powered by gaming?

[charred depot]

Lada on the right has atleast 280hp its fucking lethal.

[civic spoke]

I'm also guessing the A3 is around 1,400 kg. Too. Tbh

[eager grove]

Yeah, the Golf R has a listed 5 second 0-60 at 320HP

[civic spoke]

Physics!

[eager grove]

A chipped A3 will probably run at like 6.8

Depending on the tires you put on it I guess

[civic spoke]

I wonder if his is the diesel. Did they make a 150 hp petrol?

[eager grove]

(this is based on watching roughly 200,000 carwow and alex on autos videos)

They did yeah

35 TSI

[charred depot]

Im around 7 seconds in my 305 saloon at the moment but its quite the one tire fire

I could run wider tyres but then I have to bear the consquences with not having power steering.

[civic spoke]

Saw that they did have a 150 hp 1.4 petrol, and a 2.0 diesel

[eager grove]

STock tires on that are 225/45R17s I think, assuming these are the same

[charred depot]

Ive upgraded from 155's to 175's

[eager grove]

hahahaha

I saw a little daihatsu with 145s the other day, looked like it had bike wheels

I saw a French EV that had like 175/85 s or something on it the other day, it was nuts

[charred depot]

ultimate in road holding

[civic spoke]

I got 225/45R17 on my bimmer.

Got a stupid puncture not long ago, too.

$5 to whoever can guess the model of tire

[charred depot]

I got 4 new tyres on a saab all the same and got a nail right on the edge

[civic spoke]

Oof.

I hate edging.

[eager grove]

The odds of that tire hitting a nail are so low since it's barely got any contact with the floor

[charred depot]

I had to drive a modern car during the weekend (challenge)

Everytime I so much as put my foot near the brakes it wants to stop, steering so light it might aswell be disconnected, cant hear engine at all low torque petrol yucky.

[civic spoke]

Had to drive my father's Nissan NV200 a while back. Terrible condition.

[charred depot]

I turned my head rather than using the mirrors only to see pillars because (modern car)

Ive driven a NV200 coincidentally. Friend has one its mok very annoying to change alternator on.

[frosty dust]

Yes its the 2.0 TDI, but remember 1. Its not Stock and 2. This is a FWD and 3. The 1300kg include all the fluits to max +75kg of Driver Weight.

So the Car by itself is somewhere between 1150-1200kg

[civic spoke]

Similar car says 1,395 kg for its kerb weight.

Which is all fluids, along with a 75 kg driver.

[charred depot]

900kg soon to have over 200hp : )

[civic spoke]

Tbh. Easiest is to just look at the papers for the actual car.

And probably add a little weight for the modifications if anything.

[charred depot]

It would be nice if I didnt have a boot packed full with 100-150kg worth of tools.

it makes the rear wheels tuck in the arches which looks nice I guess

[frosty dust]

Papers before Said 1300kg now with Modifications its 1380kg

All legal and documented 👍

Xd

[civic spoke]

Having tools with you is nice though. But it's a solution looking for a problem kind of a deal.

[charred depot]

They have mostly been helpful to other people, I know as soon as I remove something though it will be me at the side of the road needing it

5L of diesel and petrol, 20L of water, various oils, 2 full size socket sets, decent size jack, a few tool bags, tow rope, ratchet straps, various hose lengths and a bunch of other stuff I really dont need.

I do go to scrapyards alot so helps with having everything I could possibly need.

[civic spoke]

A mobile garage.

[bitter compass]

Sir there is a tire in your cracks

[charred depot]

good tread though

Meant to be taking a 305 on a trackday but just realised my tyres are only speed rated to like 108mph, wonder how much tolerence is on that heh.

[bitter compass]

I just realised i never checked what the rating is on my tires..

Probably should do that.. but I'm sure it's enough since it's the original set

[charred depot]

Been decent on all the modern size tyres ive had but on these "lower performance" old sizes like 165's 175's quite low.

[bitter compass]

Ok i have not been an idiot they're category Y

[charred depot]

Probably going to get a set of 15" steels for semi slicks or just expensive road tyres

All my Peugeot stuff has been 13-14" thusfar didnt want to go bigger as liked being able to bomb through rough roads.

[bitter compass]

Yea.. imma look if i go for 18" instead of 19" for winter wheels to maybe save some money that's the ballpark im in.. (and well 19 inch winter tyre selection is kinda slim)

But still got like two full months till i have to worry about that

[hexed kayak]

thats why i like the 16s on my volvo

i can bomb down a dirt road at 130kph

[worldly oasis]

Going with the 17s ups the turn radius by 4ft too

Because you have to go to the r steering limiter

That’s why I don’t have new wheels on mine 😔

[hexed kayak]

that shouldnt always be the case

[worldly oasis]

Ik, but that’s what tirerack said so it was a dealbreaker for my dad

Was so close to getting sparco records for my car lmao

[hexed kayak]

as long as your combined circumference and width is like the 16 in wheel nothing should need to be changed because there is functionally zero difference

[worldly oasis]

Oh well I’ll just save up for the v8 s80 instead

[hexed kayak]

i never needed to change anything on my black cobalt ss going back and forth from 15in wheels and 18 in wheels

[hexed kayak]

the only difference is the 18 in wheels rattle your soul out of your body on pot holes

Yall

The GTR is discontinued

[civic spoke]

The King is dead.
Long live the King!

[dull cedar]

This either means Nissan has been making enough money to fund the development of a new GTR, or they're too broke to continue producing them for the low number of people still buying them

[civic spoke]

Very likely the latter.
They just haven't seen a need to get themselves a new halo car.

[native ermine]

oof they really need to make like an R36

Good riddance. That thing is ancient

stopped being good like 10 years ago too

I really don't see them making a new GTR. Nissan is already in hot water due to how awful their cars are, and I really don't see the 400z bringing them out of that slump

Whats the safst and best method to know and feel how much grip a car has

[charred depot]

its never a constant thing anyway will vary wildly depending on surface even in the dry, just get a feel for it over time most normie stuff will just start to understeer unless you go off the power.

Are fuel injector o rings supposed to sit like this?

Man, people just don't ever answer questions here.

In that time I snapped a bolt anyway xd

[tepid wing]

It's been over an hour. :V

[halcyon grotto]

Always the last one before it can be tested

[tepid wing]

I honestly don't know if that's correct or not.

[halcyon grotto]

If they haven't responded I imagine they don't know the answer

[tepid wing]

All I know about the fuel injector O rings is that they generally get pretty crushed over time and it's pretty dang important to replace. You might be able to find some information about that specific kind in a maintenance manual somewhere?

[halcyon grotto]

From what I'm seeing online it's right

Good bit of time to be sure as I gotta find a replacement bolt

[violet meteor]

is this normal?

[brittle totem]

So you are telling me that the new Bugatti 0-400kph time is slower then Koeinegegg Regera from 2015 honestly expected more from Bugatti considering their development budget.

[civic spoke]

I mean. The Egg doesn't need to change gears.

[brittle totem]

Yeah but 2024 V16 hybrid should be faster than the V8 Hybrid from 2015. But I guess CvK has a point with the weight that bigger engine then V8 isn't worth it if you want maximum performance.

[halcyon grotto]

waterboarding

[wheat hatch]

Yeah was going to say, you must consider the weight of the Gatti

It's almost a 2 ton car (1995kg ish)

[wraith rivet]

I can see the appeal

I personally think it’d be nice just because I like the randomness of radio

it’s a different feeling when you queue your favorite song on Apple Music and when it comes on the radio out of the blue

if yk what I mean

It seems too easy

it sounds like ass what are you talking about... also thats just a render

[spring basin]

discord mfs when subjective statements exist

[brittle totem]

Sounds like skill issue to me how is Gemera lighter ? doesn't it have even more batteries then the new Bugatti ?

[civic spoke]

Google says the Gemera is right around the 2 tonne mark.

[brittle totem]

1850kg and the new Bugatti weights 1950kg right?

[civic spoke]

Egg's website says the Gemera is 1988 kg with the 3 cylinder. And like 100 kg more with the V8.

Using dry weight is stupid. And I won't stand for it.

[brittle totem]

What's the full weight of the Bugatti then they announced 1950kg so i guess that's the dry weight to get the lowest number

[civic spoke]

Not really sure. Kerb weight of the Chiron is just around 2,000 kg. Give or take. And they say the Tourbillon is slightly less.

[brittle totem]

Which is a lot for such a car don't get why they are so heavy.

[civic spoke]

I guess they are just dense cars. Lot of small stuff adds up.

I love that they are using a NA V16 engine, instead of the W16.

Cosworth.

I'm guessing all of the weight they lost from throwing away the turbos and intercoolers, they instead put towards batteries and motors.

[compact grotto]

It sounds like a Cosworth built 9k RPM V16 from hell I don't know what you're talking about.

[steady peak]

Guys im learning how to drive my uncle was teaching me a manual transmission truck before we started rolling i already stalled the engine Lmao and not even 20 minutes later im cruising at 50

[steady peak]

On the stop and go part the truck became a horse lmao

[compact grotto]

you still need to confidently engage the clutch but you get about two seconds of "hold" when you come off the brakes

[steady peak]

Ive learned just put the clutch on the biting point and give it a little bit of gas to not hit anyone behind you if there was someone behind you

And quickly put your foot off the break and a little gas

Im still figuring that part out

[compact grotto]

*brake, but yeah

[steady peak]

Its still pretty tricky

But i think once i get better at it its not a problem anymore

[compact grotto]

Its really all feel. Trying to write it out in steps is difficult.

[civic spoke]

With uphill, then you can 'cheat', by using the parking brake to hold you in place while you find the biting point so that you don't roll backwards.

[steady peak]

But i still need practice on the part where i roll smoothly uphill just like what you would get in an even surface

I still keep rolling back

[compact grotto]

its getting comfortable with "catching" the roll quickly to minimize it.

its really a speed thing

just takes practice

there is the handbrake thing too, yeah, but sometimes adding in another input to manage can overload your brain

which is already trying real hard

[pastel socket]

I CAN HEAR the ridge of Rust forming at the top of those cylinders!!!!!!

[steady peak]

But i gotta give it credit when i tried my aunt's car that had an automatic transmission

[pastel socket]

That HURTS!!!

[steady peak]

I feel like im actually driving a car

When its an automatic i feel braindead somehow

[compact grotto]

the option for either is nice depending on the mood and sort of drive

[steady peak]

But i think id prefer automatic on heavy traffic

[compact grotto]

I did 10 years with only stick cars so having the option now is nice

[steady peak]

Cuz i know for a fact when i screw up id be paying for the damages

[pure pond]

i never drove a automatic and tbh shifting/using clutch just goes automatic for me now

[steady peak]

But i still dont like automatic

Manual is fun

My uncle said "its better to stall while practicing on an empty road then to stall when your uphill or in traffic where you dont have enough time to react"

I kinda agree

[pure pond]

for sure

[steady peak]

So im here to ask for some tips

Hes teaching me how to drive on a 1995 Toyota tamaraw fx

[dawn glade]

I've never had an automatic car.
I'll drive manual until I'm not able to anymore or until there's none left ...

[steady peak]

Im not a big fan of it either

[civic spoke]

I would do with an automatic for daily daily use. But I'm also more likely to just do EV for that.

[dawn glade]

Ev are just way too expensive for me

[steady peak]

Try Chinese ev's 💀

[dawn glade]

still would be expensive just cause of the import fee and failure rate I guess

[steady peak]

It's literal 🔥🔥🔥

I have never seen an ev once in my life

And i guess thats a good thing here

[civic spoke]

Trying to figure out what the best way to move the truck to a different parking might be.

[steady peak]

We smelling gas all day

[civic spoke]

All gas, no brakes.

[steady peak]

Im still confused why my parents find the smell of gas stinky while me on the other hand thinks that its the best smell in the world just like wet paint

[dawn glade]

uncatalyzed rich exhaust odor ... that is the best

[tepid wing]

I've driven all three. :V

[tepid wing]

Funny genetics can do that.

[worldly oasis]

I like the smell of bleach

[hollow pasture]

It's an alu block?

The sleeves are iron, but they have been treated with oil to prevent oxidation

And on top of that they're are being bored .50 over

[dusk ocean]

@compact grotto Maybe 911 Turbo S money -> GT3 RS money? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3-WgZ2x6n4

If I ever buy a GT3 it has to be an RS. I can't do skinny body normal wing shit.

[compact grotto]

At least the latest RS is a little loud (not in sound) for me for the street

[dusk ocean]

Perfect

I should have never sold my 996tt speed yellow

[compact grotto]

no you shouldn't have

[dusk ocean]

but also it had like $10k worth of oil leaks lol

[compact grotto]

a core memory is the dude on the Super Speeders DVD on Gumbal with the 996 GT2

"Its not a race, its a rally!" and speeds off

[dusk ocean]

so what if i told you i know that car and owner, and drove it in KOP

The owner of kramer laser eye center

[compact grotto]

Lonman

[dusk ocean]

Mhm

[compact grotto]

god that whole clip is just my favorite thing ever

[dusk ocean]

lol

so there's another last name, Miller

[compact grotto]

https://youtu.be/FRE6lTl7So0

[dusk ocean]

I was good friends growing up

LSB s/c M3

I got stories my dude

[compact grotto]

lol

If you knew that guy that's neat

[dusk ocean]

Yep

[compact grotto]

guys a legend

I dunno if that's the same guy

the guy in the video I believe is german, or austrian

[dusk ocean]

Yeah, its the father

[compact grotto]

https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=48&t=529194

man the stories from the early days of those rallies are wild

[dusk ocean]

"thedoctor" is my buddies dad

[compact grotto]

Oh, LMAO

that car has some history if its the same 996 GT2

[dusk ocean]

yeah many rallies

he has 2 sons

one had an LSB M3 and one had a Z06

[halcyon grotto]

any suggestions on how to get a volvo bolt

I imagine m6x20 bolts are bloomin common

[hexed kayak]

what did you do

also junkyard and shove it in your pocket

[halcyon grotto]

just snapped one of the bolts that hold the fuel rail on

got the broken bit out

idk any junkyards near me tbh

[hexed kayak]

where do you live

[halcyon grotto]

central scotland

[hexed kayak]

also tbh it will be fine with one bolt. i ran my black supercharged cobalt ss with no bolts holding the fuel rail in for like 6 months and had no issues

[hexed kayak]

@halcyon grotto

[halcyon grotto]

I would agree

but I'd rather half my injectors didnt pop out when I go over a pothole

[halcyon grotto]

I would

but I think it may be faster to just get a bolt online since I'm working for the next 3 days

[charred depot]

Clarik in Rosyth

[bitter compass]

That's an image my dad would show me

[tepid wing]

Probably a better car.

[wheat hatch]

@brittle totem @civic spoke Glad midsommar btw

[civic spoke]

No u. 🇸🇪

[cold wraith]

Does that mean solstice?

[wheat hatch]

Nah, just means happy midsummer 🙂

[civic spoke]

It's that time when we raise our dongers and dance around them

[brittle totem]

And eat meatballs 😋

[pure pond]

new wheels and tires only have to put a lot of hours in polishing them 😅

[misty mantle]

Port injected?

[white heart]

He's muted ask him in dms

[wet summit]

Why would anyone use a dji or jackery power station in a van when 2 d4 batteries with 0 gauge to the main battery with a 1500w inverter is cheaper and has a significantly longer operating time

God you could do 4 d8 batteries with a 3000w inverter for the same cost as a single jackery

Even use the existing solar setup with 4 d8 batteries with a main battery connection giving you power for a good while

[pure pond]

because its plug and play

but yeah inverter is so much better

[wet summit]

Is it really? You still have to get power to it somehow. If you're already running solar you can probably get 0 gauge from amazon and run it.

If you're living in a van you gotta be a little crafty

[hollow pasture]

Found a crx for sale for $400

It's getting a turbo gsr motor

[violet meteor]

is it bad for a car to sit for 3 days unused?

(tyre flat spots, i dont know, etc etc)

if not how many days is the optimal maximum

[charred depot]

3 days is nothing

Id say a year there isnt going to be any real issues, alot of people only use a car 6 months a year.

*with real fuel

A friend of mine has 20-25 cars at any given time ofcourse he cant drive them all so alot sit around but he can always jump in them and drive fine.

[violet meteor]

thanks

[devout grove]

Tesla made it so ugly……

[civic spoke]

Was about to ask.
"Made what so ugly?"

I don't like the Tesla Semi, either.

[devout grove]

I mean

Look at the tail lights

[civic spoke]

Why does it even have the recalled wheel covers? That's just silly to me...

[devout grove]

It’s even not a straight line

[devout grove]

Yeah, I think it’s better to made it round

[civic spoke]

It's not even that. It's just the fact that they are recalled. They actually don't use them anymore. And you can't get them from Tesla even if you wanted to.

[devout grove]

Luckily it won’t sell there.
But they still brought this car to my city to show.
I mean, we can’t buy it, showing this won’t let them make money

This F-150 looks like a real truck

[wheat hatch]

Thicc

[devout grove]

I like this car, but the Chinese ones removed CarPlay

And integrated navigation system is bullshit

[tepid wing]

I saw four of these monstrosities in a single day.

[civic spoke]

OH, right. That reminds me that Koreans are getting new license plates.
Introducing a new color for vehicles that are company-owned.

[brittle totem]

That was the point it made for some great marketing

[thick ore]

we have cybertruck at home

[misty mantle]

That's nothing. Try several decades

[restive scaffold]

at worst it will just need a jump start

[lone storm]

I had 91 that sat from 2002 to 2021 with no fuel in it thank God. Put 5 gallons in it and got new tires after it started it

[wind peak]

has anyone sent their SRS airbag module to this myairbags website to reset it after a crash? This car was in an accident where no airbags deployed but I need to get rid of these codes (crash detected, drivers side airbag short to ground, passenger side airbag short to ground) in order to pass inspection but idk if the site is trustworthy or not.

Just a quick search on google is showing a bunch of angry reviews from ppl but I'm not really seeing any other companies that will do the reset, or at least none that advertise that they'll do it

[lone storm]

I crashed a car with SRS and they didn't go off... Later on I found out they did long before and someone cut them out 🤣

[wind peak]

Huh. This car doesn't show any signs of having set off any of the airbags or pretensioners, so I assumed all three codes were from the SRS module itself. I guess I'll be doing a check on the airbags that are in the car to make sure they're good before I send my module out to get reset

There's another company that does the repair it seems, L&D solutions. They have better reviews and are cheaper so I guess I'll go with them. I think the reason only MyAirBags was showing up earlier is because they've manipulated the search engine results for airbag reset services so much that it takes a couple pages to see any other companies in the results.

LED headliner is wtf

@compact grotto he's spraying the car to spool the turbo like my green setup

exactly the same - closed loop boost control around nitrous algorithm

[compact grotto]

love that

if you think about it, its similar to like a tarmac rally fiesta

tiny motor, awd, 600+hp
