I know what you're talking about, with my Peugeot I wasn't able to accelerate at all, but the way it hugged the corners was insane, I would always lose anyone who was tailing me

well at least until straight come up and their back to my tail

How long will you have it? Do you have any other preferences after this one?

[white heart]

How long ? As long as I possibly can

Préférences will depend on the budget

[humble ore]

I'm not sure how the prices are where you live, but you can get pretty good cars under 3000 where I live

[humble ore]

I had a strange obsession with Volvo C70, the first years when I wanted to get a cabriolet

8000-10000eu tho for a car that is 19 years old

I think I have absession with Volvos in general

[white heart]

Expensive

To say the least

The wind is a savior

But yeah

[humble ore]

We have stupid laws that make your care especially expensive to register and stuff

[white heart]

Once I finish studies and get a job

[white heart]

Same

[white heart]

I either say fuck it, get a beat down 106 and turn it into a rally car or just save money for the next car

[humble ore]

Like my father has a car with v6 it cost about 400eu to register it since it bad for environment, like what the fk

[white heart]

Mamma mia

pretty nice, i’ve got a friend that rlly likes those

i ain’t a fan of the looks but they’re good cars

[shell mountain]

Its a 2000 celica gts (manual)

[drowsy surge]

ok genuine opinion on my car tho wyt

turbo manual civic

[shell mountain]

Pretty basic

Looks fun tho

[drowsy surge]

nobody boosts the R18 tho

gets a lot of love from ppl that know what they’re looking at at car meets

[shell mountain]

Im planning on lifting my shitbox slightly and turbocharging it

[drowsy surge]

the celica?

[shell mountain]

No

God no

[drowsy surge]

trailblazer?

[shell mountain]

Yes

It has the perfect engine for it aswell

[drowsy surge]

yea iron block

[shell mountain]

4.2L i6

[drowsy surge]

oh i6??

i thought those came with V8s

[shell mountain]

Nope

[drowsy surge]

ik the SS did

[shell mountain]

I6 or v8

Mine is 4x4 with a i6

Only makes like 297hp tho

[drowsy surge]

eh that’s enough

[shell mountain]

Still less fun than my old truck

[drowsy surge]

it’s an SUV it doesn’t need to be fast, take it on some trails

[shell mountain]

The night before i sold my truck, i did a huge burnout

Fucking fun as hell

Gonna miss it

[shell mountain]

Would be nice to have more torque

Id supercharge but they suck balls

Less thermally efficient, and just shit in the mountains

[shell mountain]

Nuh uh

Anywho @drowsy surge How much boost you pushing?

[drowsy surge]

turbo i6 sounds rlly good anyway

[drowsy surge]

8-9psi, pretty low boost so i don’t send a piston to the moon

makes like 250, rlly good amount for a 2600lb car

[shell mountain]

But… why not, you could become a nasa engineer

[shell mountain]

My old truck made 330ft/lbs of torque

[drowsy surge]

good for you

[shell mountain]

It also had a 5.3L iron block ls

[wispy cloak]

That's less than a stock 5.9 dakota

[snow otter]

i just learned, apparently the MX5 has a software vunerability where you can run scripts using file names
the car runs on linux, with those scrips you can open up a console where keyboard inputs from a USB keyboard work perfectly fine....

Damn that looks fast

[undone sorrel]

It basically looks the same on the outside besides the original throttle assembly being removed

[undone sorrel]

It is lmao, went from 6.5 hp at 3400rpm to 15hp at 7000 rpm

[stable pilot]

looks like it weighs 90lbs

[undone sorrel]

More like 35

[stable pilot]

my grom is like 220lbs ~11hp

my dirt bike is 250lbs 70hp tho

[undone sorrel]

The engine is 35 pounds

Its a screamer too XD

[stable pilot]

i do not recommend going 100mph on knobbies

[shell mountain]

i had a smaller engine

[undone sorrel]

Na, i just want it to go a bit more than 60mph

[shell mountain]

5.3 vs 5.9

[shell mountain]

@undone sorrel what is with people and thinking superchargers are the best?

[wispy cloak]

0mph has never felt this fast

[undone sorrel]

Idk, they are cool tho ngl

[shell mountain]

but if they were the best, f1 cars would be using them

[stable pilot]

turbos sound cooler but superchargers are better for daily

f1 outlaws them

[wispy cloak]

Turbos are generally better for everyday use

[undone sorrel]

Lol, awsome start but worse top end

[stiff bloom]

Try again m8

[shell mountain]

superchargers are awful for efficiency and thermal efficiency

[wispy cloak]

The only thing superchargers are good for is zero lag

[stable pilot]

really depends on the turbo and setup

[shell mountain]

and overheating*

[undone sorrel]

I wanna put a turbo on my predator 212

[stable pilot]

4 cylinder + turbo = best

[wispy cloak]

Heat soaking maybe

[stable pilot]

v8 + supercharger = fun

[wispy cloak]

Buy my car then

[stable pilot]

cars are boring

[stiff bloom]

Nah, for a vast majority of setups turbo on an everyday beats supercharger in almost every way

[wispy cloak]

Once I get this car sold I'm trying to buy an s6

[shell mountain]

v8 + tt = more fun

[stable pilot]

eco cars have turbos, high end stuff has superchargers 😉

[undone sorrel]

Lmao, speeeeed

[shell mountain]

no

hellshats are not high end

[stable pilot]

i prefer turbos

[wispy cloak]

The only three things I can think of with factory superchargers are the audi 3.0t, that one mini engine, and the dookie mopars

[stable pilot]

but NA is the way

[stiff bloom]

Nope? Every McLaren and Ferrari and Mercedes and rolls royce and Koenigsegg and f350 is turbo

[stable pilot]

blah blah Veyron is quad turbo blah blah

[shell mountain]

[wispy cloak]

A fbo 3.0t s4 is a mid 10s car

An s6 with hpfps, rs7 turbos, and downpipes is a mid 9s car

[stiff bloom]

Superchargers are only for cars that demand precision in their throttle response. That's hillclimbers and time attackers and circuit drivers

[stable pilot]

yeah i guess i forgot the imo part

[stiff bloom]

Sure is. That's evidence to my side tho?

[stable pilot]

i like burnouts and power off the line

[stable pilot]

im on your side?!

[wispy cloak]

Why does this change anything

[stable pilot]

most people i know with a turbo is either an eco box or a subaru sti

[stiff bloom]

No?!

Unless you're taking the piss

[shell mountain]

have you never seen a diesel truck?

[stiff bloom]

But it's really hard to tell

[shell mountain]

i need to get myself another 5.3 iron block ls

TT that shit

[wispy cloak]

Why not a 6.0

[shell mountain]

5.3 is very common

[wispy cloak]

So are 6.0s

Lq4s and lq9s are the most common

[shell mountain]

with afm*

[stable pilot]

rwd > fwd

[shell mountain]

not always

[stiff bloom]

Yes

[stable pilot]

at least we can all agree on that

manual > auto

[wispy cloak]

It depends

No

That's false

[shell mountain]

manual is just worse

[stable pilot]

manual more fun than auto*

[stiff bloom]

In every way except packaging and efficiency yes

[stable pilot]

autos are so boring

[undone sorrel]

Na, my gokart is currently 1 wheel drive in the back, its clearly superior

[shell mountain]

and cornering*

[undone sorrel]

Not for gokarts XD

[stiff bloom]

Can I be written into your will

[stable pilot]

different sport, these guys took a left turn on our convo

[wispy cloak]

You forgot about awd and 4wd

[stiff bloom]

I've been a good boy

[stiff bloom]

Those are just the worst tho

[wispy cloak]

Awd is the reason German cars own the streets

[stiff bloom]

So they can be forgotten about

[stable pilot]

i own 4wd but no awd

[wispy cloak]

How

[undone sorrel]

My stage 3 predator 212 makes you spin out if you let it rip bc of all the power in 1 wheel lmao

[wispy cloak]

I have a couple of 4wd vehicles

[stable pilot]

my current project is 72 datsun 620

[wispy cloak]

Trying to buy an awd one but I need to sell the caliber, bmw, and foxbody

[undone sorrel]

Im gonna convert the frame to have an active rear axel for better grip and more even power

[shell mountain]

@undone sorrel what kinds of mods should i do to my trailblazer?

i was already on planning on a single turbo

[wispy cloak]

Transmission kerboom

[wispy cloak]

This would be an even race

[undone sorrel]

It will get lonely all by itself

[stable pilot]

huge project

[shell mountain]

im not looking for speed

[undone sorrel]

Bring it on

[stable pilot]

its kinda boring tbh

my slow bikes are more fun than my fast bikes

[undone sorrel]

Ah ok, what about a better air intake system, it will give better gas mileage and throttle response

[wispy cloak]

Nuh uh

Cold air intakes are snake oil 99% of the time

[shell mountain]

i was actually planning on a system to switch from eco tunes to perf tunes lol

[wispy cloak]

Use hptuners if they support vehicles that old

[undone sorrel]

There is more than just a cool air intake

[shell mountain]

might also swap a 4l80e into it

[stiff bloom]

only good way is in rally, if you must go fast offroad, but not efficiently or safely. But also not go THAT offroad or else you should have 4wd

Awd is "yes, i'd love to have the poor cornering and weight distribution of fwd but with none of the efficiency and packaging benefits. In fact, id like it to be less efficient and take up more space and weigh more than rwd please"

[undone sorrel]

Oh nice, idk what all you have or are interested in current

[shell mountain]

aren't rally cars 4wd?

[wispy cloak]

We don't talk about launches

[stiff bloom]

guses it depends on where you draw the line

[wispy cloak]

Also 4wd isn't designed to operate at speed in most vehicles

[stiff bloom]

yeah because basically no form of anything does except drag racing

[wispy cloak]

Awd

[shell mountain]

for some reason i though they were 4wd

[wispy cloak]

Which is a very real type of racing

[stiff bloom]

absolutely, it's just in the vast VAST minority

and can also be overcome with tires

[wispy cloak]

It's not a minority at all

And no it can't

[stiff bloom]

lmao it's one

[shell mountain]

@stiff bloom have you ever installed e-lockers on a vehicle?

[wispy cloak]

Tires cannot make up for two less drive wheels with no prep

[stiff bloom]

nope

[stiff bloom]

well youve shifted goalposts, most drag races have prep

i was gonna say the top classes are definitely rwd, not awd

[wispy cloak]

That's a different kind of drag racing

Because it's not just one group

There's street, eighth, quarter, (half and one for weirdos), prep/no prep, etc.

And that's not even getting into classes

[stiff bloom]

aite aite well if you want to define down each and every thing we'll be here all day and I'm getting a little bored already so even tho i dont believe it i'll give you drag racing

Anything else on road, and most disciplines off road, 2wd or 4wd is better

[wispy cloak]

Bolt-on a3 vs hellcat on e85

[stiff bloom]

yep, drag race win confirmed

[shell mountain]

hellshat*

[wispy cloak]

hemi engines should've been left in the past

[wispy cloak]

They have been

[stiff bloom]

i mean that's a marketing thing. Most performance engines have hemispherical combustion chambers now (which is the thing that gives Hemi its name)

[wispy cloak]

The only one they still make is the 6.4 for the 2500 and above

The gen3 hemi isn't even a real hemi

It's a semi-hemi

[shell mountain]

eh

[wispy cloak]

Mopar is a dead brand as far as I'm concerned

[shell mountain]

mopar = no-car

[stiff bloom]

imo they have been since like 2015 lmao

[shell mountain]

[wispy cloak]

They literally don't even make anything except for the trucks and pacifica

[stiff bloom]

tbf the pacifica is sweet

[shell mountain]

i want a 2010 chrysler 300c

[shell mountain]

no

fuck dodge

[patent basalt]

Dodge used to be cool

Then they milked the hellcat engine, then said fuck you to everyone with the new car

I can’t even call it a charger

I believe dodge will die without the hemi

[stark kestrel]

It's a shame, I have one of the last 3 rebadges they were allowed to do

Just had to deal with a voyager rental, it was kinda miserable..

[patent basalt]

I don’t understand why they made the voyager when the Pacifica exists isn’t it the same van

[stiff bloom]

Cheap version

[stark kestrel]

Fleet variant

It's the captiva to the equinox

[stiff bloom]

Well the captiva is smaller than equinox

[patent basalt]

They really missed the mark on the new charger, I think it looks nice but needs a hemi, inline 6 may have more hp but who tf cares when it’s not a hemi, that’s why most people love dodge

[stiff bloom]

Also I'll never understand who thought it was a good idea to name their car "captive but with a instead of E"

[patent basalt]

The captiva was a cheaper trax yes?

I also really like the new trax

[stark kestrel]

I for one think they're going in the right direction, if they got it to feel right

[stiff bloom]

No the Trax replaced the captiva

[patent basalt]

I love Casey’s, we need them to function in the Midwest

[wispy cloak]

The only thing I don't buy from Casey's is fuel

My circle k discount is too significant

Also costco exists

[patent basalt]

I get fuel there depending on what car I have, the one in my town doesn’t have 91 so the Saabs don’t get gas there, but the Kia and the truck do

[wispy cloak]

Both of my current daily drivers require premium

93 is preferred but 91 is acceptable if I can't get 93

[stark kestrel]

Would you like an invite to the Saab server?

It's available somewhere online too but since ya have some saabs lol

Not really a competitor, it's just the previous generation of the same car lol

its competitor because of the price

You have to replace it at that point

[valid meadow]

Mine peaks at 500w for the sub and 65w for each woofer/tweeter

[minor coral]

Honestly that's plenty 80% of the time

[valid meadow]

Also I'd need to beef up battery and alternator if I did that

[minor coral]

I only went so big because it fit and I know a guy in the industry who got my gear dirt cheap

[valid meadow]

This can already kill battery in half an hour or less with no engine running

[minor coral]

See if your car has a police package, the police alternator are usually alot stronger and still cheap

[valid meadow]

Also inside of my car is basically untouched, just trunk with visible stuff

[minor coral]

And honestly my stock battery holds up, just need heavy gauge wiring

Yeah mine was already a shitbox

So I did not feel bad drilling I to it

Ah yeah, I'm running 4 gauge at the most demanding points

[minor coral]

Plenty for 500w

[valid meadow]

Yeah

[minor coral]

I want to say it was 000g I put in for both the amps

[valid meadow]

Also what shocked me is honda already did a pretty damn good job with sound deadening, I just have to solve some noise from the power cable though

[minor coral]

That alt whine is the bane of my existence

Still haven't figured out how to fix mine after 2 years about

Double up on your grounds on the amp that fixed it in my last car

[valid meadow]

I'll work on ground and then gonna put some more protection between wires and power

[minor coral]

I run mine on opposite sides of the car help a ton.

And your signal wires look like they have coils in them, generally want to keep them away from power if you have to have them at all

Pretty clean setup though, mines just bolted under the seats

is it posible to repair my brake pad without a wrench set, cuz the only one in my family who has one is my father, its in his car

I got a car jack and a tire wrench in the car but dont have a 10mm or anny of the sort right now

[charred depot]

Most cars probably not and you dont want to round it trying to use anything other than a socket, my pads can be changed without any specific tools though

[gentle thicket]

I mean having a socket set would certainly make the job more tollerable.

Ultimately - it depends on the design of the caliper. Although - you replace the brake pads, not repair them.
