[civic spoke]

More power than the E46 320i

[white heart]

ig, still ugly as shit though im ngl

[stoic ledge]

The carbon tub won't rust tho 😎

[merry mason]

U gonna get a car like that ?

[white heart]

nah, im getting a stock one because i am not trusting car guys to maintain their car properly

[civic spoke]

And price per mile will be a fraction

[stoic ledge]

i3S isn't bad

[civic spoke]

I only drive 30 km a day.

So less than 20 miles

Can't do a diesel on such a short trip

And my car ends up getting around 10 L/100 km.

For me the i3S is an option since I also want something more premium. Else there are many cheaper options.

[merry mason]

U can’t complain about people not doing em cars then ahaha

[white heart]

I mean, I want a stock car to modify

Why tf would I buy an already modified one ?

Esp since most of these were driven by dumbasses

[civic spoke]

It all depends in my book if the person modyfing it cared or not.

[prisma frost]

Fiats…

[stoic ledge]

Deserved for listening to that music

[pure pond]

a real vw driver

[white heart]

yeah but usually

tuners are on both side of the spectrum

they either abuse the shit out of it

or take care of it like their own son

[civic spoke]

I'm reminded of Matt Farah's Foxbody mustang.

[white heart]

i'd say sum but i aint got no car

not a fan of SUVs

oh youre a cop ?

sweet ngl

ok i might be stupid but the left is a celica right

idk much about bikes though

damn that is pretty nice

gaw damn

thats nice

how did you fit a V8 in there ?

aint those pretty big

[prisma frost]

Shut

[white heart]

which v8 did u use ?

but really sick ngl

car must rip like crazy

[white heart]

Still cool af ngl

[lone fern]

the ls block is actually very small for how much displacement it has

[compact grotto]

And people wonder why LS's are so popular as swaps

[white heart]

damn thats acc small af

[compact grotto]

relatively light, too. if you pony up for an aluminum block variant

[lone fern]

^^ yep

just sold my aluminum block out of my envoy for a decent price

[misty mantle]

Same with the SB350, though the stock late-model truck engines were only putting out 255 HP/330 LB-FT torque

Not bad though

[stiff bloom]

I mean that's kinda the whole point of a V8, or any V engine configuration. Inline 8 engines are a thing, but manufacturers switched to V because it was smaller

[white heart]

oooh, sound hella awesome

wish V8 and V6 were more common round here

[lone fern]

love america for that reason

love my big block chevys

[indigo axle]

Input anyone? No more free parking, which previously big handicap spot should I snatch? Blue spot closest to post office vs green spot closer to cars?

Guys, stop arguing & pick which parking spot I should rent^

Think it's limited to 1 per apartment

[charred depot]

both exposed end spaces so definitely getting clipped by someone that cant take a corner eventually, but only one of your doors will get dinged I guess

[misty mantle]

Could y’all stop?

[lone fern]

i’m cool with cops but not my local pd

one mfer has it out for me

been pulled over 3x this year by him alone

it’s a two cop town one is chill one is not

[misty mantle]

I have a lot of respect for my local Sheriffs office.

[compact grotto]

to be honest, its a pain to edit them without jumping through hoops

[merry mason]

Yeah it’s time for bed

[white heart]

Damn the story is that complicated

[mighty mist]

100% my daily

[glad mantle]

I took the plaid to its first AutoX event and I'm glad I did before any track days. Helped dial some things in but also it's shown me where the car's weaknesses are (my car has the upgraded factory brakes, not the track pack, still not enough for more than one hot lap)
Overheated on my last run of the day lol

[misty imp]

Front strut bar on FWD car y/n?

[dull cedar]

Yes

[misty imp]

seems like a good "first mod" instead of cold air intake

[dull cedar]

Tortional rigidity cares not about what wheels are driven

[dull cedar]

Intake is likely already cai, most cars are....

To do a proper performance cai requires entirely removing the factory one and building a proper box

[misty imp]

yeah that's why I don't do it

[dull cedar]

What car is this on?

[white heart]

what does that change ?

[white heart]

damn yo dad rich af

[queen wren]

its not that expensive for a sports car tbh

[white heart]

dawg its a ferrari

those goes for 70k-80k in france

thats still insanely expensive

[queen wren]

its the manual, so 10k more hehe

for some reason the manual cost more then the automatic

or paddleshift

[white heart]

yeah people like manual more

those are rarer and just usually seen as better

[queen wren]

also got a fiat barchetta

and a couple of fiat 124 sports AC and BC and a 127 sport

[queen wren]

yeee

the automatic costed more when the car first came

but now the manual is more expensive

[white heart]

dope

yo dad is most definitely rich as fuck

[queen wren]

nah, just never sold his old cars

[white heart]

dawg he bought a fucking ferrari

80k is not something you can spend on a car at once without being rich

him having such a collection is also being rich

[queen wren]

:/

idk

in norway its pretty normal

people here buy dailys for 120k +

[white heart]

yeah norway is rich vro 😭

[queen wren]

cant go one day without seeing 100 taycans and model s´s

[queen wren]

nah

people in norway just chooses better paid jobs

[white heart]

it is bro

[white heart]

YEAH THATS BEING RICH DIPSHIT 😭

"we aint rich we just got a high paying job"

[queen wren]

exactly

[white heart]

why do people love denying the fact they're rich 💀

[queen wren]

idk

I spent my own money on the celica tho

hard worked money 💪

i could have got a rcz from my mom and dad for birthday tho

[white heart]

cause damn that job musta paid well

[queen wren]

i work as an IT developer

[white heart]

💀 lucky

[queen wren]

Like coding and stuff

[white heart]

oh damn that shit pays well dont it

[queen wren]

Im only an apprentice, so not that good salary

[white heart]

im broke rn so im planning to get a job in this summer to get some bucks for fuel and insurance

[queen wren]

nice

[queen wren]

45k usd yearly

when im done, the salary will be way better

[white heart]

wont pay much though since i can only do two weeks

[queen wren]

oof

still

money is money

[white heart]

youre already paid the average french salary just so yk

[queen wren]

wtf

how do people in france survive

[white heart]

true, will prolly make bout 400 bucks from it

[white heart]

its cheaper and people dont buy ferraris

but overall france is just poorer

[queen wren]

nah

you got way more stuff to do in france tho

so france is rich in that way

[white heart]

what

[queen wren]

in norway we got a big rock and nature

[tawny linden]

is it literally just you too on here having a blast😆 ?

[queen wren]

yest

yes

its mostly owcba, ethan and me

[white heart]

depend on the time tbh

i tend to lurk here often

[white heart]

i mean ig but like

id rather be paid your salary vro

[queen wren]

meh

[white heart]

no meh bro with that money i could actually pursue a car hobby

france sucks

can your parents adopt me rq

they rich af

[queen wren]

just move to norway

problem solved

jk

[white heart]

i dont speak norvegian

sadly

[queen wren]

its easy

everyone here speaks fluent english anyways

so its not that important

[tawny linden]

says someone who speaks it....lol

[queen wren]

me

[tawny linden]

do you?

[queen wren]

yes?

[white heart]

alr bet

im pulling up to your home tmrw

ill set up tent in your backyard im sure there's room

[queen wren]

hahahaah

im might sound bias

but if you choose a job that pays bad

thats on you

[white heart]

dawg

you live in fucking norway

your beginner salary is our average

its not a choice

its the fact we get paid less

youre definitely biased too bro you grew up in a rich ass family

[queen wren]

nah

but everyhting else here is more expensive

[white heart]

finding a job that pays well is hard depending on what you want to work in too

[queen wren]

a bottle of water is 11 usd

[white heart]

yeah, you still get paid a shit ton though 🤷‍♀️

balances it out

[queen wren]

i guess

kinda

[queen wren]

yeah

most people here work something data reladed

like furture related

that often pays better

[white heart]

if i wanted to go into teaching id get paid absolute dogshit while having to do an insane amount of studies

[queen wren]

try development

not that much studying

and i think its pretty fun

never had a boring day at work

[white heart]

i dont want to go into IT

i tried coding and hated it

i love geopolitics and economy

which is why im prolly gonna try to get a job into economics

pays decently too

[queen wren]

yepp

[tawny linden]

im still in shock about $11 for water

[white heart]

tbh can kinda confirm

went to norway a while ago

everything was expensive

still better than france tho no cap

[tawny linden]

well, both are better than this place probs🙄

[white heart]

what country ?

france suck for cars

[tawny linden]

ill give you one clue

Guns

[white heart]

MERICA

FUCK YEAH

or uhhh

afghanistan or sum

[tawny linden]

that stinks

[tawny linden]

nope

[tawny linden]

YEAH BOWDIE

land of muscle cars and easy Japanese imports

@white heart what do you have for a car?

[white heart]

Two feets

For now tho

In August I should be able to get my license

And get a car

[tawny linden]

i mean, those things will last you pretty much forever

got my licence last august

bought a car a week before😆

[white heart]

True

[white heart]

I'll start buying after the tests since tests here are hella hard

And unsure weither I'll be able to get it first try

But I'll def try

Soon as I got the license tho I'm getting a car

[tawny linden]

would you say french drivers are pretty safe, amarican tests are not that hard😁

[tawny linden]

i got it second time, i was chronically nervous the first time

[white heart]

frenchh drivers test depend on the sector

i unfortunately get sent to the equivalent of hell

aka a district in the city near me

which seems to be made to be confusing on purposes for tests

at a moment there's like 3 2 lane roundabout in the span of 100 meter

[white heart]

i actually cant wait to get mine ngl

[tawny linden]

yeah, i was really excited too

[white heart]

im just more excited bout the car part overall

i want to have a car so badly

i also love cars

[tawny linden]

yep, i pretty much just wanted to drive a real car a.k.a manual

and no one i knew had one

[white heart]

i mean here nearly all cars are manual still

except from the new ones

so im def getting a manual

now the car itself depend if my plan for the insurance work

but it should

if it does im planning on getting something in the 140-200 max power range

which would be nice for a first car :3

[tawny linden]

yeah, agreed

its nice that there are so many manuals, i kinda have to look for ones around here

I'm running 170hp, which is perfect

[white heart]

oooh sweet, what car ?

[tawny linden]

impreza 2.5i premium

[white heart]

i mean, the monkey paw made it so there isnt any cool car instead

[white heart]

oooh thats a sweet ride

[white heart]

insurance might be a bit stingy though

[tawny linden]

yeah, its not as cool as the wrx, but insurance is much better

[white heart]

i mean thats still really sweet

i made a long ass list of possibilities

first plans is a corolla ts

[tawny linden]

yeah, its really reliable and gets pretty good gas milage.

[white heart]

if i cant find one or my insurance trick doesnt work

[tawny linden]

lol

[white heart]

ill get one of the other

possibly a focus st ? idk ill see

[white heart]

nice

[tawny linden]

focuse st, sweet car. how is finding parts for them over there?

[white heart]

eh, decent, pretty sure most parts are shared with the base focus anyway, ford sold decently too

but anyway im just listing cars until i actually get my license

then ill start looking

and make a list of possible one

ill ask for advice here when its time

but yeah cant wait to be 17

for now

i satisfy my hunger for cars with my summer car lol

pretty fun game ngl

[white heart]

[white heart]

i was so fucking happy when the car started

[misty mantle]

Can’t wait for My winter car to release

[white heart]

i gotta finish my summer car first

prolly wont release for a while either

[worldly oasis]

Rip dad’s car

Deer hit dead center

[misty mantle]

Just the airbags alone are gonna total it out, though looks like the worst of it is the core support

[worldly oasis]

Yeah it’s cooked cooked

He’s ok that’s all that matters

[fresh island]

My ABS light sometimes comes on, after I turn off the engine it turns off, anyone know what could cause this issue

[misty mantle]

Have you checked codes?

[fresh island]

I dont have a thinky to read the codes, but I suspect the sensor wore down

have to replace it again, last time it was replaced was 2 years ago

[misty mantle]

I would get the codes pulled before you load the parts canon

[fresh island]

I should get em checled

[civic spoke]

My ABS used to come on to and from before. But now it's on constantly.
But in my case it's a bad ABS module. For you it's more likely a bad sensor, or sensor ring.

[charred depot]

Be a shame if the bulb fell out or if the bulb got connected to the engine managment or other warning light so it does the test cycle for more annoying testers

[winged raft]

Anyone going to Automotion

If so show me what I missed out on when it's over

[merry mason]

@winged raft what is ur banner from ?

It looks familiar

[winged raft]

In the server or on my regular profile

[torn swan]

always fun to see them in this shape

the car was basically brand new

[prisma frost]

My squeaky brake sound is coming from the front because when I use my handbrake to stop the car (at slow speeds) i hear no squeaking at all. I think smt is just stuck in my pads causing the noise

[white heart]

Bro what kinda pharaon did you mess with

[prisma frost]

Huh

[white heart]

Your polo is like a monkey paw

U fix something

Something else breaks

[prisma frost]

Thats how it is ye

[white heart]

At this point it gotta be haunted

Try sacrificing a child to it

[prisma frost]

I have some weird noise with my right front and rear suspension and my ac is blowing like gusts of wind and not blowing cold air some of the time and ofc my very rough cold starts..oh and my brakes that squeak so bad if you brake and produce one hell of a loud noise when you brake and steer. I love my car

[pure pond]

volkswagen das auto

[prisma frost]

But im trying to enjoy and not worry about them issues

As long as I can just drive with no break downs i wont hate this car too much

[prisma frost]

lol sure

[white heart]

The polo yearns for blood

[prisma frost]

I hope my car just gets sucked in by a sinkhole and its totaled

[prisma frost]

But I sacrificed so many bugs to it already

[white heart]

I can total your car if you want

[prisma frost]

How

Im listening

[white heart]

Three options

Sugar in fuel tank

Me stealing it and crashing

Pipebomb

Actually 4

Irish friend of mine

[prisma frost]

Ah yes that is covered under my insurance thankfully

[prisma frost]

Best option

[white heart]

He was born in a Dublin street

And he's a good mechanic

[prisma frost]

Must be one hell of a dude

[pure pond]

just put some power to the airbags easy way to total it

[white heart]

Sugar in tank if u don't want to have a crash on insurance record

[pure pond]

sugar wont total the car

[charred depot]

A brand new plate for running without a brake booster on old peugeots

need to see if I can get a 17.5mm master, 19mm isnt too hard but dont want to crack the bulkhead heh

[merry mason]

Top bodge over here

[charred depot]

its an original part

[white heart]

Enough in the fuel tank will fuck it up

Put enough in it and wait

Best option is still calling my Irish mate

[wispy cloak]

I wished this on my last car and then my new car got totaled four days into ownership

[wispy cloak]

No it won't

It'll clog filters, sure, but it won't destroy an engine

[lone fern]

worst it’s gonna do is maybe fuck up your fuel pump if you let it sit for a long time with sugary gas but yeah you’re not gonna total a car with sugar

[dull cedar]

You will absolutely total it if it's a cheap shitbox and the cost of cleaning out the tank and replacing the pump is too much

[lone fern]

fair enough lol

[worldly oasis]

Just like catch it early and clean it out

Use the sugary gas to blow up the house of whoever did that to you

[wind peak]

I just learned a lesson the hard way. To never buy those $30-70 aluminum short throw shifters you see all over Amazon, Aliexpress, etc. I thought I was safe buying a shifter from a reputable company because it was their own in house brand and it was a bit more expensive but it turned out they were just rebranding those same crummy shifters, attaching a limited 90 day warranty to them, and selling them for a higher price. This has been my lesson that if a shifter is less than $200, it probably isn't any good, and I'm probably not gonna be able to get my money back.

[worldly oasis]

aliexpress is the way to go for anything budget ngl

most cheaper things are rebranded alibaba/aliexpress with crazy price tags

[gentle thicket]

that was where i got my sleeved extensions. not sure i'd go with car parts there though

[dull cedar]

Never buy cheap parts that are normally many, many hundreds of dollars

[pure pond]

it really depends on what it is

[wind peak]

That's why I don't buy anything off of Amazon anymore. It's mostly stuff off of Aliexpress marked up because it's already been shipped in bulk to the US. I bought a fog light wiring harness off of Aliexpress for $9, and when I mentioned it to someone, their reaction was "why would you do that, that wiring is gonna catch your car on fire!!!" but then I pull up the Amazon's Choice listing for that exact same wiring harness being sold for $20 with 1400 reviews and avg 4.5 stars rating. Exact same product, nobody's cars have caught on fire from it yet, it's just more expensive on Amazon.

I was right, the company I bought the shifter from won't offer a refund, only either a replacement of the exact same cheap shifter, or a 5% site wide discount code. There's a guy on facebook marketplace selling a steeda shifter he pulled out of a wrecked car that's normally $250 for $75, that's the same price I bought this cheapo garbage shifter for so I'm probably gonna get that to replace this cheap one.

[fresh island]

Ok, I don't know why but I just died from laughter after I saw a BMW with the tow strap allready attatched

It drifted past me

[dull cedar]

no

If something is a fraction of the cost of what everyone else sells it for, it's made of garbage

[prisma frost]

So satisfying for some reason

[austere tangle]

Finally got my ninja 500 back out, no more zx10 until it’s tune up is done

[merry mason]

Clearance sale 👍

[charred depot]

Aliexpress solex clones are alright

[fresh island]

I feel like my car knows when I get payed, cuz it brakes down as soon as I get payed

[queen wren]

hahaha

what car do you own?

[fresh island]

A 2004 mercedes C220

[queen wren]

thats your problem right there

hahaha jk

can be good cars if maintained properly

[fresh island]

If

[queen wren]

a big if hahaha

[prisma frost]

Moving company blocked a one way street

Thats how one of the pistons looks

Both front brake pistons looked like this

Replaced them 20€ a peace

[pure pond]

the dutch license system is weird if you get a car license in a automatic you can only drive a automatic, but if you get your trailer license in also a automatic and you pass youre allowed to drive a manual car even tho you never driven one

[misty mantle]

It’s weird how some countries require a different license for manual cars

[prisma frost]

Eh im glad such system is in place

[prisma frost]

Loophole

Muahhaa

[cold cypress]

the joys of a small diesel

[vocal mural]

Just driven in

[cold cypress]

ehhh it’ll be fine

[vocal mural]

Have also Diesel now.
Fabia III 1,4TDI 66kW

[cold cypress]

those 1.4s are LOUD

but they’re pretty fine and reliable engines otherwise

[vocal mural]

Is still much better than my previous car.
(Chevrolet Spark BiFuel)

[prisma frost]

Not a big fan of the exterior of fabia but the facelift (2018) looks really good

[pure pond]

i know to many people who cant drive a manual, they just dont understand it or panic when they have to do something fast

[prisma frost]

It’s pretty funny how simple it actually is

I guess rev matching at least for me isnt so easy

[charred depot]

I have somewhat of a challenge driving new cars, random car dragged out of a field its sat in for 10 years no bother though.

Id get used to it eventually but 99% of my driving has been in classic sheds

So I was thinking about what Linus said about the gratification of fixing something yourself. I adjusted the tappets on my diesel Land Rover and it sounds so much healthier. Beaming from ear to ear

Is it High enough for a Tire change?

[misty mantle]

Nah

[pure pond]

Damn need a longer jack then

These scare the hell out of me at most of the time but on gravel is a whole new level of trust 😂😂

b8 audi but jetta is a little cheaper for maintenance but both nice cars

[merry mason]

How much that fucckkker worth

[winged raft]

I think I'm going to buy

Quite literally my Gs younger, more attractive brother

Same color and everything

[prisma frost]

Get a Volkswagen golf TDI

[heavy lake]

Q50? Or 60

[austere tangle]

60 is the 2 door coupe

the sedan is the 50

so it is a q50s

[heavy lake]

Ah so yea that must be a q50

[austere tangle]

silver sport q50 not bad

[heavy lake]

Yea it’s nice I like the Infiniti q50

Idk how reliable it is tho

[austere tangle]

depends on the year

vr30s are pretty decent just turbos kill themselves

[heavy lake]

I think most turbos eventually kill themselves

[austere tangle]

the turbos on the vr30 tend to do it more because people put the wrong oil in which is too thin

[heavy lake]

That’s a driver fault then

But u never know what the previous owner did

I been looking at Volkswagen Jettas or Audi a3/4 myself

[winged raft]

I won't really have to worry much it's got 63k on it

Red Sport 400

It'll be gone before there's opportunity for problems

[winged raft]

will go 400,000 miles without major issues, will get 50mpg, will be more fun to drive than a diesel economy car should be

Still a misfire after sparkplugs and ignition coils have been replaced. I got some injection cleaner that will hopefully fix it

[merry mason]

Change yo injector

[misty mantle]

At least check the wiring to that injector, should rule out anything else it could be before throwing any more parts at it

Actually, nvm. That’s for a dead miss

they switched me to the new tahoe finally BUT i will miss my shitty little explorer

@dusk ocean so you know Steve Morris? going to be playing with an acrylic plenum on his 4500HP drag and drive car.

[dusk ocean]

I do know steve morris

[compact grotto]

best of luck lmao

[dusk ocean]

That's cool weird, but cool

whats the point?

[compact grotto]

good question

40-50lbs of boost

3/4" thick. ok so they're doing a UV dye in the fuel with some special slow motion filming with UV lights to visual fuel/air in the plenum

that could be real neat

(if it doesn't blow up)

[dusk ocean]

oh ok cool

i wonder if its cast or if its machined

I would think it needs to be cast acrylic

[gentle thicket]

He and LZ are testing out a big block for drifting. lol

[compact grotto]

ya where I got the screenshot

[dusk ocean]

i feel like big block for drifting is askign for trouble

too much mass and harmonics

[gentle thicket]

I mean there's only one way to find out and as a bonus it'll probably be pretty cool to watch.

[winged raft]

Huh?

Looks exactly like a Red Sport

[winged raft]

But is it anywhere near as fast

[austere tangle]

It’s a silver sport which uses a silver s logo

The red sport has the red s

[lone fern]

do we fw the shitbox lineup

also damn near endoed it

[carmine summit]

im running 22 psi of boost in mine with no mods

theyll take up to 30 psi of boost

at least the old ones will

idk if the new ones are as overbuilt

also mine revs to 6000 rpm

just installed a MAP sensor from a 6.0 powerstroke diesel today

I'm the first person on the planet to do that lol

[lone fern]

off she goes 💔

[winged raft]

Okay damn that works

Would have to be relatively new

Idk how the interiors and features compare on Golfs vs Q50s

What I do know is only the Q comes with Studio on Wheels

[winged raft]

It has the red S

Gotta swap it out for an R4 at least

Idk anyone with an R3 but my friend has an R4 that works perfectly fine

Doesnt do false alarms

But man R7s and R8s are absolutely worth it

[quick geode]

what the FUCK that is

we got NA Hot Rod before Gta 6

Some idiot fell asleep on the road

BUT
they hit the wheel so hard it bent the rear axle/carriage or whatever you call that part in english

wheel bent

[winged raft]

Anyone ever dealt with C43s

[gentle thicket]

Anyone deal with GMC stuff? Sisters 2001 Yukon XL 1500 right turn signal does nothing. I press the hazard, only get left. Figure ok maybe it's the flasher and replace it. Now I get the clicking sound of the relay when I signal right but I get no lights - front, rear or dash.

[lone fern]

oh god i had this issue with my 01 2500hd, right blinker on dash was permanantly on left didnt work. check your grounds

mine ended up being a bad ground

[gentle thicket]

Left works fine, right not at all with OE flasher and clicks slower than the left with the new flasher. I think this could be that OE is not LED capable while new is.

[lone fern]

ooh you have led’s?

i had to add a ballast for mine

[gentle thicket]

I also figured that it wouldn't be a ground issue since the front and right do not share the same ground. I'm thinking it could be body control module or wiring. No I have no LEDs.

[lone fern]

hmm thats odd

[toxic karma]

do you have non led bulbs to test with?

the resistance is different from halogen to led

an 01 would be 9005/9006 bulbs right

[lone fern]

i’d inspect the wiring first, good chance wiring has gone to shit

yeah they’re 9005/6

[toxic karma]

normally the stuff to go bad on gm stuff is the switches themselves

but never really heard of signal issues

[gentle thicket]

Yeah, I thought it would be the switch so I tested the hazards and only left blinks

[toxic karma]

is there seperate fusing / relays?

i just realized the signal bulbs are def not 9005/06

do you still have the halogens?

[lone fern]

do both lights on your dash blink or just no actual signals

[toxic karma]

im new to gm stuff, but all the older lexus's HATE led lightas

[lone fern]

oh yeah the headlights are 9005/6 lmao

i own exclusively gm minus my honda crv

[toxic karma]

i just picked up a colorado in the beginning of april

ly5 4l80e swapped

[lone fern]

ooh nice! my buddy has a super low mileage canyon that he just replaced the frame of lmao 😭

dude let it sit and only used it to haul snowmobiles in the winter

[toxic karma]

im in florida so hopefully i never ever have to worry about frame

[gentle thicket]

Left signal functions as expected. Right turn signal does nothing at all with original flasher. With new flasher it clicks slower than the left. I get no front or rear lighting nor indicator on cluster. Those two are the same with hazard or indicate right.

[toxic karma]

besides driving thru dirt

differing flashing speeds is normally caused by a bulb being out/bad

[gentle thicket]

Yes but that is faster

[toxic karma]

normally rapid flashing means the bulbs bad, but the fact that its LED would do it

[lone fern]

yeah maybe swap bulbs to the other signal and check n see if it switches side

[gentle thicket]

I do not have LEDs.

[toxic karma]

Oh idk why i read that you had LEDs

[gentle thicket]

I have swapped the front bulbs and the left works but the right does not.

With either bulb

[toxic karma]

does inside of the connector look burnt at all?

you could also see if its getting voltage at all along the way if you have a multimeter

could even do continuity testing if you have long enough leads or lead extenders

also i think if the switch itself is bad it wouldnt work at all even with hazards

[gentle thicket]

Cannot see inside flasher housing. It lives on the back side of the side panel fuse box. I guess I might be able to use the phone camera. The connectors on the flasher module look fine though.

[toxic karma]

i meant at the bulb location

[gentle thicket]

Oh gotcha. I suppose I could pull both front and rear left bulbs to simulate both bulbs being bad - but I am fairly certain I would either get rapid flash or solid indicator on the dash.

[toxic karma]

im kinda leaning towards the switch

[gentle thicket]

The hazard is a separate circuit - why would the switch cause the hazards not to work?

[lone fern]

completely unrelated to the current convo but how tough was the swap!? my friend is gonna do it at some point when the inline 5 kicks the bucket lol

[toxic karma]

i bought it swapepd

4k

[lone fern]

oh i see lmao

shit not a bad price

[toxic karma]

seems like the current performance swap parts make it really easy

i have a crew cab

[lone fern]

dope

that truck has 56k on it and needed a frame

fuck road salt

[toxic karma]

220k here

probably like 70-180 on the motor too lol

its a Ly5 5.3, ls7 lifters and l92 oil pump done

they said the 4l80e was refreshed but reverse barely be working so idk what happened there

i think theres a reverse check valve ball thing that might be the issue

[lone fern]

hah yeah sounds like they got a “refreshed” (junkyard) 4l80 lmaoo

thats possible

[toxic karma]

transmission shops tax too

note for you dont type the shortened versions of transmission

i wanna take my chances rebuilding it myself but im way too lazy so ill probably leave it like that for a really long time

[gentle thicket]

left and right fuses as well as bulbs front and rear swapped. No change. Ironically - there was no change when I had 1 or 0 bulbs on the left side either.

Well, aside from the obvious, no light from those bulbs

I believe they're 3157A front and rear. The fronts are in terrible condition. The left side light had water in it.

It could use a new connector and fresh bulb on that side. It may fix the fast blink as well if the circuit can detect that the running light half is not working.

[lone fern]

interesting, i wonder if it’s related to why your brake light is flashing a lot

cuz i don’t think that’s normal usually its solid lol

[gentle thicket]

I have the parking brake set as I needed to shift to first in order to get the dash apart.

I should have thought to hit the hazards, but just pretend one of those left singals was that - it does the exact same effect anyway.

Interesting. If Grok is correct anyway - a ground fault at the front or rear would cause both front and rear to fail for some reason

Man - I really wish vehicles were required to come with FSMs and supplementals. I have the FSM for my del Sol and that thing is amazing. Had to pay like $100 for it though. It's a huge book so I get that it has more cost than a PDF that would be so very simple to provide.

[lone fern]

yeah i really wish they did

i own a service manual for all of my cars

they’re so damn handy for issues, especially wiring problems

no screwing around on forums asking if anyone has wiring schematics i got em already

[gentle thicket]

OK. Multifucntion switch is back on the menu. I never imagined the hazard switch was part of the stalk. Now if only I had the freaking FSM so I could simulate the right turn signal if it was as simple as paper clip between a couple pins.

[lone fern]

let me see if i can’t find my service manual for my 2500hd

probably the same?

[gentle thicket]

26100839 is the gm part

Oh wow apparently a used one is just 20 bucks on ebay

[lone fern]

oh shoot yeah i’d try that

or go to a junkyard

guarantee theres one there haha

[gentle thicket]

What a painful trip to get to the plugs for this thing. The newer design with the wiring that goes up to the switch is so better than the wiring coming off of the switch and running half way to the firewall.

[lone fern]

good lord thats awful

[native ermine]

aluminum does oxidize. this why alloy rims start to leak air after awhile

had to deal with a lot of that when i used to work at a tire shop

[misty mantle]

I swear my truck is cursed to constantly go through starters. It’s on it’s 4th one since I got it, and that one likes to not kick the bendix out 90% of the time.
Pretty sure they’re all remans, one that’s in it I think is a ford one (core return that got redone) sold through Napa

Got another one sitting on the shelf that will kick the bendix out, but grinds. That one was fine when I got it, so idfk anymore

Shoulda just went with the M5OD/4.0L flywheel, clutch, and starter conversion when the trans went last year

[minor adder]

Car go vroom.

Chat, is this true?

[native ermine]

so it seems

yes

[toxic karma]

try just grabbing an old oem one out of the junkyard, ive always had better luck with those over remans

[misty mantle]

Ehhh, that would work of it was a common truck.
Bronco II

Specifically an ‘87 model year.
Even it’s ranger counterpart is hard to come by in my area, espesially with the 2.9 V6

Just gonna convert it over to the early 4.0 flywheel/clutch/starter

[toxic karma]

did you ever measure the spacing

[misty mantle]

?

[toxic karma]

the contact when it was extending

maybe the flywheel was putting odd pressure on it and that was damaging it to where you ended up with it not wanting to kick out

or have you tried having it rebuilt by a local starter/alternator shop

[misty mantle]

Ohh, no, I havent.
Not really sure how I would considering the starter mounts to the bell housing instead of the block

[toxic karma]

wouldve been easier to do when putting the truck together if it has a seperate bellhousing

[misty mantle]

There werent any shims in the starter when I got the truck, either. It already had a reman in it, too

[toxic karma]

couldve maybe tried shimming it, but maybe a whole new setup would still be your easiest bet

[misty mantle]

I can take the bell housing off, though I gotta take the transmission all the way out to do it because the bolts are inside the bell housing

[toxic karma]

yeah exactly so no point doing all that if the new setup isnt that expensive

unless you have a shop

and lifts

im used to having a lift so sometimes i talk as if its easy

[misty mantle]

Would be nice if I had those, but I dont.
Done all my work on my driveway with a floor jack

The 4.0 clutch is heavier-duty anyway, which is good since I use this truck for 4x4ing along with being my daily

[minor adder]

glad I could count on another credible source

[native ermine]

[winged raft]

But have you accounted for cars that do indeed, not, go vroom? Of course not, and the powers that be don't want you to. I mean, you have to take into account both cars that do not work and the plethora of electric vehicles that despite being a car, do not go vroom. As they say, "a lie repeated often enough becomes truth", well, as a society we've created this conception that all cars go vroom, yet all of these examples exist. So what's this really all about? The answer is simple: power.

https://tenor.com/view/what-shocked-shock-tucker-tucker-carlson-gif-11901849

naw electric cars just go woosh which is just vroom but in there own little language

Finally got to the back of my Lexus’s motor 😭

Wasn’t too bad to do tbh

[toxic karma]

mans living that es life

[autumn umbra]

Yup lol

Got quoted 1245$ for just the real coils and plugs I already did the front ones I just didn’t wanna do the backs

[toxic karma]

the one lexus I refuse to own

you're already there

[autumn umbra]

But I’m not going to pay 1200$ for that 😭

[toxic karma]

geter done

[autumn umbra]

I just did all that today

[toxic karma]

1200 is a crazy qoute

[autumn umbra]

In 45 mins

Frl though

And if the issue isn’t the coils or plugs I’m not finna be out 1200$ for something I can do

[toxic karma]

just have a misfire?

[autumn umbra]

Because I can buy a whole engine for less than that

Yeah

[toxic karma]

im gonna assume they tested fuel

but if you still have a miss after its back together

[autumn umbra]

Well I just called them didn’t take it in

[toxic karma]

unplug injectors one by one

could be a dirty injector

[autumn umbra]

Ok thanks for the advice

[toxic karma]

ive owned every lexus besides every generation es

[autumn umbra]

This is my first car so I’m not too educated on working on em

[toxic karma]

cause like its just a avalon/camry

[autumn umbra]

Yeah same engine

[toxic karma]

its rare that injectors would get dirty on them the fuel filter is built into the hanger

[autumn umbra]

Same with the solara highlander and rx330

[toxic karma]

normally, im not sure about the es exactly

id assume so tho

[autumn umbra]

Well I’ll definitely keep it in mind thank you I’m gonna finish it up probably tomorrow

It’s about to get dark here

But I’m honestly really happy with this car. For 2500$ and all the electronics on the inside working besides the radio being weird which idc about it’s a pretty good deal

I’m going to take a few days off work and me and a buddy are gonna install a new headunit speakers and a sub

[toxic karma]

not bad for what i assume is cali pricing

cali cars are taxed like mf

[autumn umbra]

I’m in Colorado but same difference lol

It’s basically becoming cali

Price wise I mean

[wind peak]

Bruh I might just be the biggest idiot in existence 😐 I bought one cheap short throw shifter that turned out to be terrible (go figure) and then found a used shifter from a reputable company in great condition for sale on facebook marketplace, but I bought it without checking the serial number and even though it was advertised as coming out of the same year of car I have, it turned out to be a shifter for a later model transmission. So I'm down $145 and have two short shifters I can't use, one because it's terrible and one because it's not for my model of transmission. I'm so stupid

[toxic karma]

what trans

[wind peak]

The used shifter I bought was a Steeda Tri-Ax for an 01-04 TR3650 equipped Mustang, but it was advertised as for a T5/T45 equipped 94-00 Mustang, which is what my car is.

[flint sable]

Makes sense, gonna have them refinished eventually

[dull cedar]

Are you the one that bought the suspiciously cheap Lexus that I said was cheap for a reason?

[autumn umbra]

I knew it was cheap for a reason lol the guy was up front about the misfire

[heavy lake]

So Iv been looking at cars iv settled on either the 2013-2016 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8t or 2013-2017 Audi a4. The Jetta would be cheaper to buy, maintain, insure. But the Audi would be more fun idk which one to get low cost vs fun

I’m thinking of purchasing a ninja 6r along side either one tho 🤔

[dull cedar]

🤢

https://youtube.com/shorts/iRd0Rs1z0Lg

[autumn umbra]

Up to your budget tbh the Audi will definitely be a lot more maintenance wise

[heavy lake]

Yea im in college lowkey broke but i wanted a sportier car

Iv been looking at the Mazda 3 as well seems like a pretty good option and kind of a middle ground to both cars

[autumn umbra]

Yeah I’m broke too lol I bought my Lexus es330 for 2500$ with money I made from flipping pcs I’m 17 rn

I got a actual job though now it makes me pretty good money

[heavy lake]

That’s pretty good ngl

[autumn umbra]

Yeah that was the whole reason I was flipping pcs I’ve done it since about 15 and I just got a job a few weeks ago so a job and flipping pcs as a side hustle

But yeah it’s in pretty good condition too my Lexus I mean I just need to fix the misfire then I’ll be good to go

[dull cedar]

If you're broke, euro trash is not what you need in your life

Go buy a used toyota

There's plenty of fun ones

[winged raft]

Don't listen to Ethan

He gives good advice but sounds like a dad

[winged raft]

I wouldn't buy either they're basically the same car and will be similarly unreliable, trust me working on VW engines is draining even with really small repairs

[winged raft]

Yes 1000% get a Mazda 3 sport or a Mazdaspeed3 if you can find one

Or if you're willing to stretch the budget and want that A4 then get an S4 instead, 10x more reliable

And faster, and cooler, and not that much more expensive

Don't get a boring yota that you don't want there's lots of real options

If you're looking for similar ideas I was in your boat not that long ago looking for a daily and was between a Cooper S, that Mazdaspeed3, or a G37, all 3 great options (I got the G and it's great and I recommend looking into those too)

[dull cedar]

Don't listen to the wreckless-driving New Yorker

[dull cedar]

Actually do listen to the wreckless-driving New Yorker on this

[dull cedar]

do get one, they're not boring

[winged raft]

You're fighting an uphill battle Ethan you gotta provide at least one example

[dull cedar]

It's not my fault you don't know about the interesting Corollas

You can have a fun Toyota for anything from $100 and a bag of chips to $100k

Driving a 90s Corolla that you have to constantly floor when accelerating is very fun, anti rollbars? What are those!

In the 2000s you've got the 2zz powered Corollas

[heavy lake]

I personally don’t like corollas

Super slow

[dull cedar]

Boring

[dull cedar]

Lol

[dull cedar]

And the Celica with the same engine

[winged raft]

Don't listen to unc here throwing accusations around, I am NOT a new-yorker

[dull cedar]

And the MR2 with just the 1zz because Toyota didn't want to step on lotus' toes, but it's very easy to swap a 2zz in

[dull cedar]

You act like one

[winged raft]

It's my valhalla 🙏

[dull cedar]

Moving back into the 90s, you've got the 20 valve 4A-GE cars, including the trueno, levin, and fx-gt Corolla

Jumping up to recent times, and higher budgets, you've got the GT86, GR86, GR Yaris, GR Corolla, and of course the Supra

is that enough examples fake New Yorker?

There's more than that too

[dull cedar]

Trying to buy one of these currently

190hp of VVTL-I goodness

[heavy lake]

I’m already downgrading from a wrx to whatever car I end up getting wrx just to expensive the Toyota would be to boring

[dull cedar]

Smh

If the WRX is too expensive... You're not cut out for sporty cars

[heavy lake]

It’s a 23….

[winged raft]

Look if you want to be on an endless search for obscure toyotas they can be fun, otherwise I had some solid advice

[dull cedar]

Oh and don't forget the GT-FOUR Celica

[dull cedar]

Oh no wonder, you bought the shit one

[heavy lake]

Pretty solid Mazda 3 prob the move

[dull cedar]

Go buy a 2000s WRX 😉

[winged raft]

I'm 18 and in the same segment of life Ethan is like 65 and dreams of the old days bro

[heavy lake]

Lmao no it’s faster than the older model it’s nice just comes with a premium that my college butt can’t afford

[dull cedar]

rebuilding boxers is fun 🤪

[dull cedar]

Bitch I'm 21 and broke

[heavy lake]

I’m 18

Ehehe

[winged raft]

Start trading options

Im richer than your parents

No more toyotas

[dull cedar]

Lol no thanks

[dull cedar]

Get a Lexus then fool

[heavy lake]

Just gamble

[dull cedar]

Basically what they just said

[winged raft]

Dawg what

[heavy lake]

Nah trading isn’t gambling if yk what ur doing

[winged raft]

So for Ethan it is gambling

[dull cedar]

Unless you're insider trading, it's always gambling

[winged raft]

So is blackjack but you can still get good at it

[dull cedar]

Being good at it doesn't make it not gambling

[heavy lake]

Well not rlly there’s trends in the market and looking at the projections of the company and other things can tell you if it’s a move

[dull cedar]

I don't need an addiction

[dull cedar]

Educated guesses is still gambling

[winged raft]

Look I didn't say you couldn't flip burgers for the rest of your 20s it was a suggestion

[dull cedar]

I don't flip burgers

[winged raft]

It would be a good start

😭

[dull cedar]

I'm broke because the economy here is shit because of the current government, not because I want to be broke

Also broke because my car keeps stealing it

[heavy lake]

Hey In gambling u lose or win but trading ur a bit safer u might not make or lose anything

[heavy lake]

If ur in the us the economy rlly isn’t bad

[dull cedar]

*because it's had a life of hard abuse and neglect, which I continued....

[winged raft]

Oh lordie the current admin affects very little when it comes to your finances dawg if I stacked paper under Biden then anything is possible

[dull cedar]

Not american

[heavy lake]

Ah interesting

[dull cedar]

A handful of the cars I mentioned before aren't even available in america

[winged raft]

Okay that's starting to make a lot of sense now

[dull cedar]

Again, not american

We were doing good and then some bald dumbass lied us into a recession

[heavy lake]

What is the difference between Mazda 3 and 6

[dull cedar]

Please buy some glasses

The 6 is a bigger car

[winged raft]

Sedan/hatch vs bigger sedan, Mazdaspeed6s are absolutely insane though

[dull cedar]

6 also came in a wagon

[winged raft]

If you can score one they have huge potential over 3s

[winged raft]

Maybe over in euroid land

[dull cedar]

Also not european

[heavy lake]

Barely

British prison?

[dull cedar]

Nope

Saw this at a Toyota event back in March and now I'm trying to buy one

Downgrading from that is gonna be tough bro damn

[boreal frigate]

[heavy lake]

Ik bro im like looking at every option possible i love that thing

[boreal frigate]

mine has technicaly a subaru engine

[heavy lake]

Technically

[winged raft]

It'll gap your subi 👀

[heavy lake]

Mmm mine isn’t stock 😭

I’m removing the mods before i sell it tho

[winged raft]

What do you got though

Bolt ons?

[heavy lake]

Yur

Bolt ons

[boreal frigate]

i get car and mods and you will be a rich man

[winged raft]

G37 has bolt ons and a tune

[heavy lake]

But on the vb a bolt on with intake exhaust and tune is like 320-340 wheel

[winged raft]

Idek what it would be running but 330 stock and 5.2 0-60 stock

23 WRX is 5.5

Man you would love it bro don't lie

[heavy lake]

I love mine 😭

[winged raft]

Heated leather seats, Bose Studio on Wheels, memory driver seat, looks only slightly less attractive

Quarter of the price, reliable as hell

[heavy lake]

If I get a Mazda I’ll prob purchase a 6r that’ll be my speed gap everything basically

[winged raft]

And it needs to go

[boreal frigate]

is this a good choice for car fi

[heavy lake]

What’s wrong with it 💀

[winged raft]

Nothing I'm getting a new daily

Upgrading

[heavy lake]

Mileage?

[winged raft]

150

[heavy lake]

Ooo that’s steep I’m looking around 50-80k miles

[winged raft]

For a G that's basically equivalent

It's had its transmission flushed and oil done every 3k, takeover Gs abused asf go into the 200s

[heavy lake]

ig but I mean I’m looking for some modern technology as well I’m planning on doing an Apple CarPlay install on whatever car I end up getting

I need a luxury that I have in the subi 😭

[winged raft]

Its got bluetooth already and theres plug and play headunits for Gs that have carplay

[dull cedar]

Thanks for reminding me what the non-impreza based WRX looks like.... Had almost wiped that turd from my brain

[winged raft]

Ethan are you talking shit

[heavy lake]

It’ll gap the Impreza variants stock tho 🫢

[dull cedar]

Doubt it

[winged raft]

Ethan he's turnt up with a '23 at 18 stop

[heavy lake]

Look up hp dif and torque

[heavy lake]

🤪

U should see what my friends have it’s crazy

I feel poor

[winged raft]

Nah real though

I'm supposedly doing good

And here's everyone else with daddies money

[heavy lake]

Yeaaa

[dull cedar]

yours has 30 less hp and 40nm less torque than the WRX STI
And the same torque but like 2hp more than the WRX

Is yours a manual?

[winged raft]

I got this friend with an M235i and his friends got built vettes and a Huracan and I can't imagine how that's gotta feel

[heavy lake]

Stu would gap yea but regular nah

[heavy lake]

Yup 6 speed with a short throw

[dull cedar]

So yeah you've got zero chance of "gapping" the last gen WRX unless the driver of it is worse than you

[heavy lake]

Yea a mutual friend of mine has a Lambo and gtr or rather his father has them

[dull cedar]

Parent's vehicles don't count

With that logic I have a 2012 Hilux and 2023 Yaris

[heavy lake]

Well I’ll get the edge on a wrx sti no but I’m bolt on with tune so I can run it with an sti pretty well

[heavy lake]

technically the gtr is his ig idk

And another friend had a Toyota Supra

It’s pretty nice I think it’s a 22 or 23

Supra is clean

Only Toyota I like personally

[dull cedar]

Go drive a GR Corolla

[winged raft]

Here's bro sandwiched

They all my age too 😢

[heavy lake]

I have actually then you realize if you push it like you want to it tends to blow up because of the poorly built 3 cyl

[heavy lake]

Wow

I wish

[winged raft]

We got time

I'm more into 720Ss

[heavy lake]

Someone already blew one up and Toyota didn’t do anything even tho it was normal driving that Toyota claimed the gr could handle

I’m sure you’ve seen the vid

Unbalanced 3 cyl stock tuned to 300 with a turbo is not good

[winged raft]

100 hp per cyl is insane and idk why people think that would be reliable in the first place

That's hellcat power
