[hexed kayak]

Gimmie one to test.

My shits dangling on the dash and my mother wont stop whining whenever she drives it

And Montreal roads are FUCKING SHIT so it’s probably a good test

[worldly oasis]

What brand gauge you got

[hexed kayak]

pretty sure its a autometer

[worldly oasis]

We can work something out, I modeled it for the ipd gauge but give me some dimensions and it will work

DMs?

[worldly oasis]

looks enginey

[charred depot]

Ive had a battery in one of my car for years from a modern Volvo because it would throw airbag codes due to the battery being every so slightly aged

Leave it parked up for ages and still starts my diesel

[worldly oasis]

Only time I get airbag codes is when I unplug the ac controller thing and battery

[hexed kayak]

My volvo is trying to murder me

The weld at the resonator cracked and is making a cloud of poison surrounding my car

[fresh island]

Just got the car, its a 2004 C220 merc

[full prism]

looks cool

[fresh island]

Its a peace of shit

It weighs almost 2 tons, and its 2.2L 150HP engine (110KW) consumes fuel like its nothing, especially cuz I drive like a brain dead and have my revs at 4000 half the time cuz I dont wana be stopped at a red light( I dont go above the speed limit for most of my driving)

[full prism]

why do u keep the rpm at 4k even lol

just shift to higher gear, unless thats the latest gear

[fresh island]

It's an old automatic and it changes when it wantsto

I aint got no say in it when shr changes gears

[full prism]

ah shit

no wonder people hate automatics

[fresh island]

Eh, I bought it from my bro for 500 so

[full prism]

oh damn

do a 1.9 tdi swap

[fresh island]

It was either that or spend 2000 on something similar

[fresh island]

No..

[full prism]

then ev swap it

[fresh island]

I like to keep it stock ish

[full prism]

yikes

[full prism]

but its no benefit for you

[fresh island]

EW

[full prism]

lol

[fresh island]

the benefit is that she is reliable for what it is

[full prism]

ill be reliable if i suck 10 liters of gas every 5km as well

[fresh island]

I will buy my uncle's old car in a year or so, cuz he is getting old and he can barely get into his 2008 landcruzer

[fresh island]

9L for 100km

In city trafic

[full prism]

oh thats very nice

it gotta be like 7 or so for highway at a reasonable rpm

[fresh island]

Yeah, on the highway she doesn't use alot

[full prism]

its not too bad then, besides it being 2t

[fresh island]

Still gas is expensive, 1.335 euros for a L

[full prism]

meh, dont use the car till u must

[fresh island]

Yeah, the main problem with her is the trunk decides when it wants to work

[fresh island]

I got a little less than half a tank RN and I will refill on friday when gas is cheaper

[full prism]

whys the gas cheaper on friday

[fresh island]

On Fridays it's 1.3 for a L

[fresh island]

I dont know why, I was supposed to work at that gas station but they never called me back

Maybe they get delivery on fridays

[full prism]

perhaps

[full prism]

ghosted lol

[fresh island]

Yeah, I work in a tech shop RN, pay is a little above minimum wage but still

I need to get some window fluid but I can't be arsed to stop at a shop to buy some, plus I need to replace the rear wiper, cuz its a little fucked

The end of it is flopping around and it doesnt wipe anything

It's non-essential I will save till I get payed

[full prism]

[bitter compass]

👀

Dont mind me paying 1.80€

[full prism]

lol

[dull cedar]

It's a pretty common thing for gas stations to do discount days

[full prism]

crazy

[wispy cloak]

It was a little expensive

[coarse leaf]

In india petrol is 110/ L (1.3$) and diesel is 98/L (1.16$)

[worldly oasis]

I bet

[wispy cloak]

If I did math right then premium is $0.96/L and diesel is $0.87/L

[coarse leaf]

Nah I’ve used google as well and i remember price varies from state to state in India as well

[wispy cloak]

Where I am

What even is the minimum octane in India

[echo onyx]

want a cheap car that will last expectations other than that are non existen models to recommend

used is ok

[worldly oasis]

2007 Volvo s60 2.5t

Peak vehicle

[echo onyx]

ty

[worldly oasis]

Don’t rice them or I will have the horde after you

[echo onyx]

why tf not

[worldly oasis]

Should never have recommended a Supra pfp a car that shouldn’t be riced

[echo onyx]

it would look cool af low

[worldly oasis]

Low does NOT equal riced

[echo onyx]

low on air

so i could lift it too

[worldly oasis]

Why

Literally useless

Great waste of 4k

[echo onyx]

it looks cool

[worldly oasis]

You’re like 12 anyways

[echo onyx]

no im seriously looking for a car i wouldnt rice till i got my first job after i bought a cheap car

so i want a cheap car but plan on some more investment down the line

[worldly oasis]

P2 s60 if you don’t care too much about gas mileage

I get 26 on a good day

It can get on its way pretty quick, super reliable with the right maintenance, and super safe

[echo onyx]

sounds like a solid car and im cool with mileage as long as it doesnt burn as much as a truck

[worldly oasis]

DMs

[wispy cloak]

26 is bad??

[worldly oasis]

Compared to all our other cars it’s baller

[fresh island]

I am in eastern europe

Allmost missed word, cuz I slept to mutch

[hexed kayak]

It runs so smooth tho

[hexed kayak]

funny enough the agm bosche battery in my volvo is 10 years old almost and still works great (i shouldn't say this going into winter)

[hexed kayak]

i sent this literal hours ago.

it was day when i sent it now its 4am

[charred depot]

This was still pre AGM

[hexed kayak]

@charred depot what thonk. you can tell by how identical the sound is that all the cyls have equal compression

[charred depot]

sounds like car

[hexed kayak]

you suck

acknowledge my volvos high milage superiority

[charred depot]

Is it over 500k miles

[hexed kayak]

it is now /s

i dont even know how europeans can hit that kind of milage

the entire uk is shorter than the drive to my home town

[charred depot]

You can drive to multiple places in a day

I dont even leave my area of Scotland and accrue 500 miles some days for work.

[hexed kayak]

it only takes 5 hours to drive 500km are people doing 3 cross country trips a day?

[hexed kayak]

like people in north america who rack up 500k are usually hot shot drivers who will usually run 900-1k miles a day in one direction

[charred depot]

The car we had on 500k miles was 40 years old

[hexed kayak]

my timing is off on this cause my mind switched to km

[hexed kayak]

500k cars here are usually under 15 years old

[charred depot]

get them from taxi drivers but its rare for an average person

I got a 305 recently and the guy was doing over 30k miles a year in it recently.

running on veg

[hexed kayak]

the "usual suspect" for a 500k vehicle in north america is one of these made 2010 and up

[charred depot]

but yeah most people in UK do like 5k miles a year

get alot of cars getting scrapped at like 70k miles because of it

[hexed kayak]

hot shot drivers are like mini lorry drivers they haul shit thats neeeded yesterday and they do it fast

[charred depot]

Even a van falls under lower speed limits and stuff here, no advantage to anything like that

A friend of mine who tows a 2 car transporter professionally with a SUV has a tachograph

[hexed kayak]

what about ram trucks?

[charred depot]

definetely

[hexed kayak]

they arent normal flat beds

[charred depot]

if they weigh less than 2 tonnes they can fall under dual purpose and have the same speed limits as passenger cars

but thats only like L200's and stuff

[hexed kayak]

their platform is fixed and has no articulation so it can bypass the 55mph trailer limit

benz made one so they could do 120mph with a race car on the back on the automahn

[charred depot]

still any light commercial vehicles gets a 10mph drop on single and dual carriageways

[hexed kayak]

i no like

[hexed kayak]

would a ramp truck be under car derived van or goods vehicle

[charred depot]

car derived vans are like fiesta vans heh

so no

[hexed kayak]

wack

[hexed kayak]

what would this be.
it uses a silverado 1500-3500 frame depending on how you spec it

so its a truck derived van

[charred depot]

goods vehicle

[hexed kayak]

i think that one may get away with full speeds with a ramp on the back

out of the box they are 2.5 tons

[charred depot]

nah because you would need more passenger seats

[hexed kayak]

why?

its a good vehicle

[stoic ledge]

A van like that could still be allowed the same max speed as a normal car as long as you limit its max weight on the registration to 3.5t

[hexed kayak]

people arent goods

[charred depot]

I think its different in the rest of the EU but a transit falls under the lower speed limits.

only way around it is to fall under dual purpose (for passenger and goods)

[stoic ledge]

Classic UK thing

[charred depot]

the recovery trucks are registered to 3.5t but still have it aswell

[hexed kayak]

i mean those vans can be speced with up to 12 seats.
i would just need the long wheelbase version that can keep 5 seats and have room for a car ramp

[charred depot]

Yeah but there is also rules about the ratio

[hexed kayak]

this is turning into a literal "you got a loicence for that" moment

[charred depot]

Alot of people ignore it but if you are doing 80 odd with traffic you are now doing 20mph over compared to everyone else doing 10, easy pickings.

[stoic ledge]

With a standard car license you cannot transport more than 8 people (so 9 with you included)

[hexed kayak]

ngl thats a kind of dumb rule. if the gov doesnt consider you a good enough driver to carry 10 people why are they letting you carry any at all tbh
i wasnt allowed a single passenger for 3 years when getting my license

[charred depot]

I always thought the 8 seater 505 would be expensive to insure as yknow 8 deaths in a crash but doesent seem too bad

[stoic ledge]

I think that's just a classification, more passengers it's like a touring car or whatever

Also if a van is already 2.3t, add 9 people and luggage you quickly go to the 3.5t max anyway

[hexed kayak]

the only people legally allowed in a car i was driving was my instructor or my mother

[charred depot]

obviously so you arent going out with friends engaging in tomfoolery

[hexed kayak]

jokes on them. i went and did tomfoolery with my mom cause shes not lame

all the videos i have of me drifting on ice/snow were recorded BY MY MOM before i had a full licence

[hexed kayak]

probably why im such a good winter driver tbh

[fresh island]

In city traffic its not that horibke

[full prism]

yeaah, its totally understandable for 500$ car

a 500$ one that looks better than 99% of other 500$ ones

[prisma frost]

Fun stuff

[coarse leaf]

95octane is $1.42 and 98 is 1.6

[hexed kayak]

if your talking about p2s they havent been 500$ in a long time and the ones that are are flukes

[civic spoke]

That's a load of stuff.
Here there aren't as many speed limiters to take in account.

Busses are limited to 100 kmh, trucks are limited 90 kmh, if you're towing, you're limited to 80 kmh.

[charred depot]

The funny one on there is that in Scotland HGV's have to do 40mph on single carriageways whereas in England they can do 50.

With all this new techmology they can enforce speed cameras on a vehicle type basis

[civic spoke]

I'm reminded that someone tested out converting a truck+attached trailer into a 'bus'. They had just mounted a bunch of seats, that made it a bus by the government.

They did this so that they were allowed to go 100 kmh on the freeway. But I believe the testing wasn't too successful.

[charred depot]

basically a bendy bus

[civic spoke]

Pretty much.

If I remember right, then you're not required a DE license to drive an Accordion bus.

At least not here. Since it's a just a permanent towing fixture.

But in return, they aren't allowed to even reverse them on public streets.

[charred depot]

Think thats only a thing in London here

the reversing thing, we dont really have any bendy busses at all I think used to be common though.

[full prism]

imagine being on that very behind

[hexed kayak]

thats why ramp trucks and flat beds came around in the 60s in north america

race teams could get places faster cause a car on a ramp truck was considerd the same type of cargo as wood in the bed of a pickup

and tow companies could move cars faster on a flat bed than with a wrecker cause a car on the back of a wrecker is considered a trailer

idk if europe calls them something else but this is a wrecker

[fickle swan]

Why do car companies make 2 door versions of 4 door cars then make 4 door versions of that 2 door version of the 4 door car

[full prism]

because some people prefer 2 door look while some do 4 door

also i think its ever so slight of a weight saving to make 2 door too

like maybe 5kg per door or smth

[fickle swan]

Confusing

Like bmw, the 4 series is a 2 door version of the 3 series right? But then they made a 4 door 4 series, the gran coupe

[full prism]

4 series and 3 series is quite different looking and actually visibly different looking up untill the last gen n shit

[fickle swan]

s5 sport back vs an s4 as well

[full prism]

bottom 3 series?

looks less sporty and more casual

least destructed 2 stroke dirtbike rad

[fickle swan]

The bottom is the 4

[full prism]

oh lol

[fickle swan]

It's got the less steep back window curve

Cuz it's opens like a hatch instead of a trunk

So the 'coupe' actually holds more stuff

[full prism]

its a bmw, it goes vroom vroom, who cares if it has a 3 in the name or 4

just hop in it and step on the gas

[stoic ledge]

No it's not

It's a 3GT

Top one is actually a 4GC

[fickle swan]

Oh I found it searching "3 series vs 4 grand coupe'

Even more confusing

[stoic ledge]

Yeah the top is the 4GC

Bottom is 3GT

Which is a LWB hatch 3er

[fickle swan]

With audi the long back one is the coupe

[full prism]

mmmmmmm

dat ass

[full prism]

so i guessed it right?!

[stoic ledge]

What did you guess?

[full prism]

bottom 3 series

[fickle swan]

And then with Mercedes they're getting rid of the E and C 2 door models and making a CLE that replaced both

[stoic ledge]

I didn't know there was a 3 series GT

[full prism]

yipee

[fickle swan]

I've been driving Mercedes for a while but it's time to look at something new and i hate the new gen interiors so I'm looking at bmw and audi now

[full prism]

get rs7 frfr

i have that in fh5 too, love its gorgeous ass

[wispy cloak]

Have you looked at the rs3 at all?

[fickle swan]

I can go up to 75k but I want something that still has some factory warranty

I am perfectly average height so I fit in everything

[full prism]

I'm only 5'11 but I am wide

[stoic ledge]

I actually didn't fit well in my brothers previous car (BMW 1er), hitting the B-pillar with my shoulder

It's the fat E-Tron yes

[full prism]

sad to see companies abuse naming

[stoic ledge]

Nowadays called Q8 E-Tron (until it's discontinued soon tm)

[full prism]

oh it does have the Q in it, good good

[stoic ledge]

No this is just E-Tron

[full prism]

so Q is just added by people?

[stoic ledge]

After the facelift they made it Q8 E-Tron

[full prism]

aah

[fickle swan]

I don't think I like SUVs

I like being lower to the road and in a smaller car

[full prism]

same, its too all-rounder

[fickle swan]

But also I'd be happy with a bigger seating area and taller seat

[stoic ledge]

Had no choice, provided by work

[fickle swan]

I tested a raptor ranger last week and I was comfy but I didn't like the driving dynamics, I'm used to my c43

[stoic ledge]

It's getting replaced by a Q6 E-Tron somewhere in the near future

I asked for an A6 E-Tron Avant, but sadge

[wispy cloak]

Have you looked at any wagons?

[fickle swan]

A little but it's not the storage that's getting me to look at bigger vehicles it's the cockpit room, side to side especially

I bought my mom a Ford maverick I can borrow at any time so I'm cool with a tiny 2 door daily if the seats are comfy

I'm waiting for mideival pro to start making carbon panels again

[hollow pasture]

Thanks, I paid $400 for it in july

Found it on marketplace listed as non driving, put a carburetor on it and it fired right up

I've since done a lot more

Head swap and trans rebuild + gearset swap

[full prism]

rebuild?

what does that exactly mean?

just replaced the gears?

[hollow pasture]

And synchros yea

[full prism]

cool

[hollow pasture]

The biggest change I did was to the final drive

Went from 2.97 to 4.40

I'll take a clip when I'm on lunch

That's stock ride height

[full prism]

why keep stock

[hollow pasture]

I have si suspension in it now

And also because coilovers are $1200

And I'd rather finish my first project before I spend that money on the crx

It also has to get k swapped first

[full prism]

i mean, cant you just lower it with the parts on it already?

[hollow pasture]

No

Because it's torsion bar front end and live axle rear

[full prism]

time to cut the coilovers in half

[hollow pasture]

That also doesn't work

[full prism]

what else is holding it up?

[hollow pasture]

Because again torsion bar

[full prism]

wouldnt it just break at that point, its so much weight on it

[hollow pasture]

?

No?

[full prism]

if its preventing the car to go down further all by itself, its a lot of weight

is urs aftermarket?

[hollow pasture]

No

I have HF subframe and torsion bars, and SI struts and rear coils

Same ride height difference stiffness

I like where the ride height is now it's super easy to control the weight

[full prism]

these new episodes collaborating with MCMs and VTEC Adademy Truly caught my by surprise. Considering that I am a true Honda head.

which civic exactly

[noble sun]

Only the best chassis ever released in the USA. 2000 Honda Civic Si (EM1)

[stiff bloom]

EWW NO

[native ermine]

[hexed kayak]

you dont get it

sears auto centres used to be a massive thing

there used ot be thousands of them

[full prism]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1223277982903439510.webp?size=48&name=GuraHuhConfused

[hexed kayak]

and for the last like fifteen years its only been a dozen or two up until 3 years ago when they all shut down.
so you cant get these anymore

hasnt been in canada since the early 00s

which is where i am

[noble sun]

Sears was great until KMART bought them out

[hexed kayak]

having that oil change sticker on my car with up to date oil change info gets more attention from people at car shows than the car itself

[noble sun]

i stopped buying Craftsman tools when they finally closed

lol what car shoes are you going too? lol

[hexed kayak]

lame ones cause the car culture here is shit

[noble sun]

i was going to saw sounds like regular traffic in a parking lot LOL

[hexed kayak]

even still when i went to the Woodward dreamcruise everyones was like "where did you get those sears stickers"

it wasn't a boomer fest either it was semi young people saying the last time they saw a sticker like that was when they were a kid on their parents car @noble sun

[noble sun]

what do you consider boomers haha

[hexed kayak]

its a little piece of history

[hexed kayak]

you can literally google it

25 year olds are not boomers

[noble sun]

i know what the definition of a boomer is

[noble sun]

25 is genx kids

[hexed kayak]

yeah. the boomers were the mechanics putting the stickers on the genx car

[noble sun]

boomers are folks over 65

[hexed kayak]

not back then they werent

[noble sun]

literally born right after ww2

thats why its called the Boomer generation as men coing home from europe and pacific started having a lot of kids

[hexed kayak]

why is this relevant

[noble sun]

"it wasn't a boomer fest either it was semi young people saying the last time they saw a sticker like that was when they were a kid on their parents car @noble sun"

[hexed kayak]

and? that means not just old people gave a shit. you dont need to start analyzing peoples age.

the boomers gen x and millennials all got to see the era that was sears parts with a lifetime warranty
you bought a replacement part and paid for it one single time. every replacement after that was free

you could buy a brand new car and as things failed replace it with sears lifetime parts and eventually you had a car that was literally free to own aside from registration insurance and fuel plus oil

a woman drove a 64 comet all the way to 600k miles right till the day she died for free using that lifetime warranty

[noble sun]

im well aware as i previously mentioned. I stopped buying Craftsman tools when Sears closed.

i worked for Kmart as the Loss Prevention Manager when Kmart bought out Sears Robuck

biggest mistake Kmart made was buying out sears robuck

[hexed kayak]

thats literally the farthest thing from a sears auto centre. only mechanics work there

[noble sun]

Sears Auto Centers were connected to sears shopping centers and malls.

my division has oversight at Sears including Their auto centers. Used to catch employees stealing car maintenance parts.

[hexed kayak]

not all of them. for every connected one there was 2 standalones

not exactly but you get my point

[noble sun]

Most were located next to a full sears retail location if not physically the same building.

[hexed kayak]

might just be where im located but sears auto functioned more like napa does

[noble sun]

napa are independently owned chains. Sears wasnt like that at all. I get wat you are attempting to get at though

just finished watching the two versions of the latest ltt colab with VTEC Academy and MCM.

VTEC Academy episode is the best imo

[hexed kayak]

they are barley independent. they are limited to stocking what napa allows.
sears auto heere had a central warehouse with standalone parts stores as sell as partnered service centres plus their built in mall shops being the smallest part because where i am it building one involves knocking down walls and more bureaucracy than its worth

every old sears auto location here is now a napa

the in mall shops are now "open concept" restaurant

using the garage doors an an entrance to patio seating

[noble sun]

are you in canada?

i already pulled someone out a ditch because he was basically driving on slicks 😐 and he still blamed it on the snow and was yelling at the cops why there was no salt on the road

[full prism]

lol

[prisma frost]

I applied some RainX Anti fog and since then my windows stopped fogging up. Soo nice

[full prism]

sick

how long ago did u apply?

[hexed kayak]

People are really quick to out themselves as bad winter drivers

Theres currently a guy on fb trying to die on the hill of a chevy cobalt getting stuck in anymore than 2 inches of snow no matter whos driving

Cobalts are quite literally one of the most sought after shitboxes to convert into a track car for racing exclusively on frozen lakes covered in snow

Once August rolls around you cant purchase a running cobalt in any condition of any miles for less than 2700 cause of people scooping them up for the incoming race season

[stiff bloom]

no no no its ok its ok there there

you're just ruining your bearings is all

[native ermine]

i mean im not

only boosted car i've got is supercharged

[charred depot]

Winters here and my winter wheels dont fit over my brakes so eh, summer tyre fun if it snows

My estate has all seasons but I have cooked them on track so probably lost some winter grip and I much prefer driving the saloon for many reasons including the volcanic heater

[prisma frost]

My car has smoll brakes and big wheels

[charred depot]

I have big wheels now which are 15"

14" is the right size for a 305 imo but needs must

[prisma frost]

And brakes still too big?

[charred depot]

15's are fine but all my loose wheels are 14's pretty much

Not had a car with bigger than 14's in ages

[prisma frost]

Accelerating to 130 kmh in third gear so fast..

[novel relic]

So this is how normal people merge onto the highway

[charred depot]

people who dont accelerate the full length were the bane of me when I was driving 50hp cars all the time

50hp when new cars but now 40 years old

[prisma frost]

If there wasnt a car on the lane I wanted to merge on I would've merged around the middle point but I decicded to merge infront of them so had to make sure I used that full lane

I merge when its safe to do so but also only if I am driving the same speed as everyone else on the highway

[charred depot]

I would have been going for it at the start of your video but I dont know if you have any silly laws

[prisma frost]

I didnt want to risk losing traction on that little bend road was also a bit wet

If it were dry then I'd have sent it

[charred depot]

basically dry

[prisma frost]

Okay well i have no balls

I will admit

U caught me

[fickle swan]

Why do dealers list cars that are not delivered yet and already reserved as "available"

[charred depot]

MOT tester just needs to get stronger legs 😤

[eager crow]

Can anyone help me? I have a 2005 jeep liberty. Only media interfaces is the radio and a cd player. I want to add an aux port. Is there anything I can wire into the back of my radio and drill a small hole into my dash?

[fresh island]

City traffic is not good for shitbox

25MPG

[gilded dome]

25mpg isnt bad my car gets an alleged 18 but i do not believe that

[civic spoke]

It's usually a bit optimistic. Mine's maybe 10% higher than what my car says.

[fresh island]

It's a 2004 mercedes benz C220, its heavy as fuck for a wagon allmost 2 tons

[civic spoke]

I would have guessed 1,600 kg

Google says 1,490 kg.

Yeah. Around the 1,500 kg mark. Give or take.

[full prism]

add 80-100kg for these as well

[civic spoke]

Usually counts the driver at the very least.

Since you're really never without a driver in a car.

[full prism]

yet to hear driver counted in

[civic spoke]

Maybe. But yeah, lets just call it 1,600 kg for whatever spare equipment you might want, etc.

Plus the driver.

So it's different depending on where you live, I guess.

[civic spoke]

I know that my E46 Sedan is in the 1,450 kg region. Give or take.

[full prism]

i watched lotta car review vids n shit, at most it gets mentioned next to the fluids but thats it

carwow says the fluid most of the times

and ive yet to hear that fella say below 80kg as that too

[civic spoke]

I know wet vs dry weight. And that only weird manufacturers care about the dry weight.

[full prism]

i mean, lots of italian manufacturers use that to cheat

[civic spoke]

I know Ferrari used to only show the dry weight of their vehicles.

Yeah

But like. Who in their right mind wouldn't add FLUIDS to their vehicles?

Which is what? A bit over 100 kg between fuel and oils?

[full prism]

around that

[hexed kayak]

I think i just encountered the biggest dumbass on the entire internet

Some mf just tried to tell me teslas dont have a driveline

[full prism]

probably meant driveshaft

which is still fasle cus their motors arent hub motors

some more random electric motors

[civic spoke]

Many EV's has their motor right on the diff as well, no?

[full prism]

on where diff would be, yes

theres no diff cus both sides are controlled by single motor if the rear has two electric motors

unless they decided to make two of them power a single shaft and add a differential for whatever reason

[civic spoke]

I mean. Some have a single motor for one axle.
I know that if you have two motors, then that makes stuff more simple.

[full prism]

yeah

if its single motor on rear/front then it usually has integrated differential

[civic spoke]

Yeah

[civic spoke]

Man, I want an LSD

[full prism]

drugs are bad for you

what a question

[civic spoke]

I'm guessing it's because the front motor is always doing less work.

[full prism]

its because of the weight shifting to rear when launching, theres so much fewer grip on front

also on other more common situations, you just need the front one for stability control

[civic spoke]

Don't even need a motor for that. Most just use brakes.

[full prism]

snow stability

not the active stability control system

just the general stable driving experience is what i meant

[civic spoke]

Traction control is more what you're thinking of, I guess?

[full prism]

nein

just more stable car

when you step on the gas while leaving a corner, especially in a low grip with tc off, you will slide right out

but not with front wheels powered as well

unless its so few power on front compared to rear, or grip on same situation

[hexed kayak]

No this guy is dying on the hill of them having no driveshafts no gearbox nothing

[full prism]

absolute dumbass

[tepid wing]

Four motors sounds the most optimal for the most power and control, but you'd get less range and have more weight.

With the Cybertruck having steer by wire (that breaks good job) you'd think they'd have a 4 wheel steering option.

Especially with how insultingly expensive they are.

[full prism]

theyre 2 motor, beast is 3

so, rip

[hexed kayak]

They couldnt stop the panels from peeling of and you want them to add a complex qudrasteer setup

[full prism]

just glue 4 motors to the chassis like they did to the panels

[tepid wing]

The motor thing was general EV stuff, there are a few 4 motor ones.

[full prism]

yeah, and i love 4 motor evs

[tepid wing]

One of these days I want to do a conversion with at least 2. It'll be expensive and hard, but it should be fun and I should learn a lot.

After that maybe I'll do ICE or something, who knows.

[full prism]

u will feel like a cave men when u do ICE swaps after EV lol

[tepid wing]

Yeah for sure.

[spring silo]

I want to buy a military 5 ton and 6x wheel hub motor swap it

[spring silo]

or just a dual-electic axle system for the rear and hub motors for the steer axle, thatd work too

[hexed kayak]

This guy manuals

I love doing this

My synchros dont

[spring silo]

imagine having to worry about damaging your vehicle when clutch-less shifting

this post brought to you by motorcycle gang

[hexed kayak]

I would ride bikes if it wasn’t a “when you crash” deal

[spring silo]

thats the best part!

[hexed kayak]

Cause with my luck that when is gonna be in front of a bus

[hexed kayak]

I used to have a buell
I crashed it

[spring silo]

i also want to do a quad hub-motor shelby cobra replica

[hexed kayak]

1125cr

[hexed kayak]

Disgraceful

[spring silo]

im pretty sure carroll shelby would fucking love it

[hexed kayak]

And then he would get bored out of his tree with how soulless it is vs what he created

Not saying it wouldn’t be fun

[spring silo]

i doubt it, hed love the raw power

[hexed kayak]

Still sacrilege

You know what would be a fun ev swap

Make it awd

[spring silo]

wheel hub motors right now can reach up to 250hp each, thats a 1000hp shelby that would weigh 2500 pounds with batteries with over 1500lbft on tap instantly

[hexed kayak]

You do realize how many people got killed driving Shelby’s at stock power right

[spring silo]

thats why carroll shelby would love it and drive the hell out of it

[hexed kayak]

Pretty sure he would prefer the mustang 1000 he built

[spring silo]

i dont think so, he was all about power and performance over everything

[tepid wing]

Wheel hub motors give me some heebie-jeebies right now.

[spring silo]

he didnt throw a 7 liter into the shelby solely for the roar of the engine, he did it because holy shit the power to weight ratio

[tepid wing]

I just don't trust all of the extra movement the power cables have to do for them.

That's also more unsprung mass, which I thought was undesirable.

[hexed kayak]

I also doubt hed not prefer the culmination of his entire lifes work over the shell of one of his old cars with a modern electric chassis under it.

[spring silo]

ignoring the double negative, i disagree, i think he WOULD like it, because again, its all about raw performance

[tepid wing]

You can crab walk and do 0 point turns with 4 hub motors which is pretty cool.

[spring silo]

https://youtu.be/rqQ6LGpiGY4?t=451

[hexed kayak]

Hes also highly protective of his work. From the stuff I’ve learned about him you would have a 50/50 chance of pissing him off by calling a rep cobra turned into an ev a shelby

[spring silo]

interview with him where he said he wanted to be a part of the ev'ification of the automotive industry

[hexed kayak]

Someone converting one of his cars isnt that though. unless he was directly involved in the conversion which for obvious reasons cant happen

[spring silo]

its not converting one of his cars, because yes, it would be sacrilege (and absurdly expensive) to fuck up a real shelby for that

but ev powering a replica? i would put money on him getting a hoot out of it

[tepid wing]

Honestly converting a shelby to electric sounds funny because it'll be a better car and it'll tick off a lot of people.

[hexed kayak]

The point im trying to make is thats just taking a rep and ev swapping doesn’t make it a Shelby
Its just an ev cobra

[spring silo]

ffs thats the sticking point you have?

all i said was "shelby cobra replica" and you immediately went to "it cant be a shelby cobra replica with ev, just a cobra replica"

[hexed kayak]

The shelby cobra is a modded ac cobra from the start.
Thats why ev swapping a cobra doesnt make it a Shelby

The shelby is the specific spec people make those reps with the 427 and everything else

[spring silo]

sure, except for in the US they were sold AS shelby cobras, not as AC cobras, so colloquially all the ones here are CALLED shelby cobras

if you dont have an AC badge, its a shelby cobra replica, as shelby ripped off all the badges and called him his own

[hexed kayak]

But the replicas aren’t true cobra vins
Yes you can reg them as that with a kit car vin

[spring silo]

i know they arent true vins

because, once again, no one is turning a real cobra into anything other than what it is because of their price

[hexed kayak]

But what im saying is the “replica shelby cobra” is typically known to be a very specific spec to match the old car and deviating from that spec makes it no longer a replica or able to be called a Shelby

[white heart]

Making a replica so good everyone think tis the real one then putting an electric engine in

[spring silo]

and what i said is i called it a replica shelby cobra because everyone calls them replica shelby cobras and no one calls them replica cobras

the asinine wordsmithing aside, shelby would love a 4 wheel drive electric cobra

[white heart]

Low-key want to do that with a T16 now

[white heart]

That would be funny

[spring silo]

hatchbacks <<

[hexed kayak]

The woodsmithing is cause shelby didnt let just anyone call anything a Shelby
So in the specific context of that man alone it matters whether its a shelby or not

[spring silo]

he cant call anything a shelby anymore

and i would wager that he would bless off on what im proposing as shelby

[tepid wing]

Put the engine and junk you rip out into the replica.

what a loser

And HELLAFLUSH

bet his rear wheels have -30 degrees camber while the front have +30

[hexed kayak]

I dont like woosh cause its sounds exactly like charge pipes popping off

[stiff bloom]

fair

but if it does it more than once in a row youre good

#stonks

also just use hose clamps instead of hairties

[hexed kayak]

My charge pipes use vband now

whatever, at least it's not bobby pins like you used to use

[civic spoke]

I believe that's right around 200,000 miles?

Close enough for the girls I go out with.

[prisma frost]

Bought a little cheap OBD2 reader and it didnt find any codes so I hope it works (Its a VW adter all)

[viscid vault]

"trouble codes", that's fairly adorable

[jagged wagon]

While I do agree that performing an ODBII scan is a must when buying a vehicle, know that clearing these codes (aka hiding potential problems) is trivial for anyone else who also owns an ODBII scanner...

[prisma frost]

Oh that’s nice and u can’t find these codes again?

[jagged wagon]

Some codes for some vehicles are permanently logged in the ECM even if one "clears" them, but those usually cannot be "read" with cheap ODBII readers. (It's been a long time since I've dabbled with vehicle diagnostics, so someone else might know more about this than I do.)

[prisma frost]

I’ve had the car for about 6 months and the only issue I’ve had was this which even the mechanic dont know what happened

[prisma frost]

Ah alright

Well I had a company check my car before I bought it

But idk what obd2 reader they used

[viscid vault]

o_o

Yeah that's not good

[prisma frost]

That was 2 months ago but it hasn’t happened again

I’ve had no issues since so Im really confused

[viscid vault]

I guess as long as everything important (steering and brakes) are mechanically driven it's ok enough to ignore, but damn losing lights at the wrong time isn't fun

[prisma frost]

Mechanic did take a 10 seconds look bc I called last second.

They changed the timing belt recently but found nothing else

[prisma frost]

I didnt even notice they turned off, I was checking my mirrors. The only thing I saw was a check engine light that stayed on for about 5 seconds and went away

I pulled over after and the engine sounded a bit more rough that usual but like I said nothing happened every since and its been a smooth ride

I have dealer’s warranty on this car till March 2025 so if something happens they’ll have to cover it

But I hope it’ll be smooth sailing for the next few years. I make sure to do regular maintenance on the car but you never know

[viscid vault]

Well something happened, a lot in fact.

[prisma frost]

Would you have any idea

[viscid vault]

With good luck some fuses are just funky, with bad luck that's a half chewed wiring harness somewhere

[prisma frost]

I’m just confused why it hasn’t happened anymore though

[viscid vault]

Flowing electricity isn't picky until it is

[prisma frost]

Oh well I hope its some funky fuses then

If it happens again I’m calling the dealer

[civic spoke]

Want to hear something terrible?
I've heard someone call a OBD II reader "OBD 11 (eleven)".

[jagged wagon]

To be fair, I blame manufacturer's / industries for this. If you use fonts that make "1" look like a capital letter "i", "0" look like a capital letter "o", etc. you're just setting people up for failure.

[civic spoke]

Yeah. I guess they used roman lettering.

At this point it's just okay to call it an OBD-reader. Every vehicle has it these days.

Became a standard almost 30 years ago.

So if you car is younger than 25 years old. Then you're very likely to have it.

[stoic ledge]

It just... Died?

[prisma frost]

Well I could still accelerate and stuff but idk man I guess

Engine light turned on for a few seconds

And then poof it’s like nothing happened

[stoic ledge]

Looks like the entire BCM rebooted for some weird reason

Will probably explain the 5 second engine light as probably the cluster also turned off?

Just like the radio

[prisma frost]

No idea, it felt like a dream so everything became so blurred in the moment I just saw that check engine light thats all

[sweet steeple]

that aint supposed to happen

I dont think you understand 00s show culture

Most of the engines were stock

What mattered what how many screens you had in your trunk and doors

[winged raft]

Guess I joined too late

Part of the downpipe and tune era

[fathom socket]

Thoughts on these gtr headlights I designed?

[winged raft]

If they were larger it'd fit honestly

[fathom socket]

Yeah

Always hated the stock headlights it

[winged raft]

Looks aggressive the original looks pretty

[fathom socket]

Mainly just the entire front

[fathom socket]

Someone told me the original looked aggressive and this looks mean

[winged raft]

It looks like it's happy to see you

Pretty eyelashes

NOT what you want on a sports car

[native ermine]

speak for yourself

og super car Lamborghini Miura came with eyelashes from the factory

[stiff bloom]

eye....lashes? Where are you seeing eyelashes in that

[stiff bloom]

to this day i still could never figure out what those are for

[native ermine]

technically the upper part can be considered eyelashes

though id argue its more like eyeliner

[native ermine]

there literally eyelashes

just styling choices

[stiff bloom]

the drls?

[stiff bloom]

i mean not literally no 😛

but ah, weird. COnsidering most of miura was function>form

It just so happened that the function was gorgeous

[native ermine]

the SV got rid of them which is a crime and a sin

[native ermine]

not really

[stiff bloom]

to this day people still use rear window louvers basically without having a clue what they're for

[native ermine]

it was meant to be beautiful

[stiff bloom]

well sure but most of that was in service of something

see also: rear window louvers

[native ermine]

rear window louvers were window tint before window tint was a thing

[stiff bloom]

oh huh you have a point
