cars

[lone fern]

mopar moment 😭

[wispy cloak]

It also had tweaker damage from an attempted theft

The head of the shop showed up one morning to find the truck running with a dude passed out in the driver's seat

[lone fern]

oh hell yeah that just adds to the character

[tribal sphinx]

as long as your axles are good engine really doesn't matter till you start involving trailers

[wispy cloak]

Spoon and all

[lone fern]

LMAOO

[wispy cloak]

He used pure tweaker power to rip the entire bottom of the dash and steering column out

And ripped the shifter off

[tribal sphinx]

I don't worry about tweakers

there's a crazy ass redneck living next door and he has pointed guns at tweakers before

[lone fern]

he was tryin lmao 😭

[wispy cloak]

He had it running

[tribal sphinx]

we just leave fred alone dawg

[wispy cloak]

If he didn't pass out I think it would've been gone

[lone fern]

he was so close

but so far

[wispy cloak]

The 6.6 had what felt like an intermittent fueling issue because sometimes it'd stumble and struggle to go uphill

[lone fern]

a tweaker dumped a burnt van on my property sometime last night god i love tweakers

[wispy cloak]

And I know it needed injector cups towards the end of my employment there

[tribal sphinx]

this is my personal vehicle lol

[lone fern]

sounds like she needs some injectors lmao

[tribal sphinx]

I stick with the duramax cause I reliably get 600K out of them as a personal vehicle

[wispy cloak]

That truck was just too light for our work

Driving a dingo up the trailer with a pallet would pick the back wheels up off the ground

[lone fern]

i love dingos

[wispy cloak]

Infinite fun

[lone fern]

so fun to wheelie

[wispy cloak]

We had 427s and 1000s

I got a 427 wide track stuck in the mud

[lone fern]

it’s a shame i don’t use them anymore because i stopped landscaping

[wispy cloak]

We had all the attachments too because rental

[tribal sphinx]

we used to have a tesla model 3 at the warehouse for people doing inspections n shit and then one day I got a call that it was "flipped by the wind"
come in and yes it was flipped by a fucking truck hitting it

[wispy cloak]

Post hole digger, stump cutter, buckets, forks, etc.

[lone fern]

god i love any piece of rental equipment

[tribal sphinx]

@indigo sinew does AI defeat the sheer force of collision with F450

[lone fern]

if it’s a rental you best believe i’m using the skytrack as a crane when we really needed an actual fucking crane lmao

[wispy cloak]

I found tweaker damage

[tribal sphinx]

tweakers love 2nd gen RAMs

they're so easy to steal

[lone fern]

hold on is the dashboard not cracked to shit

nvm i see a crack

🤣🤣

[tribal sphinx]

and there is so many 2nd gen rams once its been stolen its never being found

[lone fern]

i exclusively own tweaker vehicles

[tribal sphinx]

ones that where decently well taken care of or parked indoors or in the shade don't really get cracked ever

just smear linseed oil on it it wont crack

[wispy cloak]

This is what I got stuck in the mud

[lone fern]

i can’t say i’ve ever been in one that wasn’t broken

[wispy cloak]

I didn't think I had a video

[tribal sphinx]

look at farm trucks

they never crack due to getting so much shit on the dash

if you just smear diesel or linseed oil on it then wash it off it wont crack

or old motor oil

[lone fern]

at the farm i work at on the weekends we use gmt400’s lmao

god i love gmt400’s gotta be my fav vehicles

cheap and reliable

[tribal sphinx]

CHEAP???

[wispy cloak]

The dash was blown to bits in it

[tribal sphinx]

GMT400s are worth more then GMT800s and a lot of 900s now

GMT400s are pretty heavily sought after

[lone fern]

only the nice ones are expensive

[tribal sphinx]

they're simple, durable, and reliable

[lone fern]

you can pick beat ones up for a grand

in fact i own three of them

[wispy cloak]

None of the three second gens I've owned had cracked dashes

[tribal sphinx]

the gmt400s in the lowes parking lot are free you can just take them home with you

[lone fern]

most of em will start without a key anyways lol

[tribal sphinx]

thats only 1994s and older iirc

all 1995s and up have keyed and fob'd ignitions from the factory

[lone fern]

nah just ones with bad ignition cylinders

[tribal sphinx]

oh no some 1994s and older don't have keyed ignitions

[lone fern]

no my 98 has a fob but only for door locks

no they have keyed ignitions

they just used one of three gm keys lmao

[tribal sphinx]

not all of them

[lone fern]

what

i promise you all gmt400’s came with keys

[tribal sphinx]

no they have keys yeah

but they where not actually keyed

like it was just a blank key that was cut as all 1s

[prisma frost]

ah the keys werent keying

[lone fern]

i see

[tribal sphinx]

its like my tractor

you can litterally just turn it with a flat head screwdriver thats the right size

[lone fern]

oh yeah i love worn out cylinders

[tribal sphinx]

the tractor isn't keyed either

[lone fern]

my 98 does not need a key to start and you don’t have to use breaks to shift into drive

[tribal sphinx]

its been like that since I bought it new from john deere

[lone fern]

ew john deere

[tribal sphinx]

1994s and older airbags, seatbelts, keyed ignitions, power doors, openable passanger windows, and center mirrors where all optional on very basic trucks

starting with 1995 they where mandatory

(power doors was sorta optional till 2008)

[lone fern]

gmt400s also all had openable passenger windows and seatbelts and mirrors lmao

[tribal sphinx]

I have a 1993 without any of those or the mounts for them

the passanger side door on extended cabs does not open on all of them pre 1994 either

(rear passanger door fyi)

[lone fern]

oh yeah the third door wasn’t an option but the passenger window will roll down

okay i see lmao i was gonna say

[tribal sphinx]

nope, some have fixed windows

[lone fern]

yeah only in the back

for ext cab

[tribal sphinx]

no i mean front windows

they have push out ones on some for pasanger side

[lone fern]

not on 400s i promise you

[tribal sphinx]

my 400 has them 😭

[lone fern]

ya got pics??

[tribal sphinx]

its at my other house in montana but yeah lemme see if I have any

nvm im wrong about the windows

thats on my 1979 crew cab

push out rear and passanger front windows

[lone fern]

i was gonna say i think that died w squarebodies

[tribal sphinx]

yeah my square body has power windows lol

I think it could be optioned with crank

[lone fern]

yeah

[tribal sphinx]

this is a 1980 GMC

... that is also cummins swapped

[lone fern]

hell yeah

[tribal sphinx]

wrong about seatbelts and openable passanger windows

rest of this was optional thou

[lone fern]

i wish i could find somewhat decent squarebodies here in michigan but they’re either clean and 40 grand or they’ve turned entirely into rust by nkw

[tribal sphinx]

center mirrors only in some states

(not all states require 3 mirrors)

[lone fern]

passenger airbags were optional on 2500+ trucks till 98 or 2000 if i recall correctly

some weird weight thing

[tribal sphinx]

1999 in a few states

1994 in most

[lone fern]

my 98 k2500 doesn’t have em its just a little cubby lmao

[tribal sphinx]

waht

they usually put a cupholder there

[lone fern]

photo from google but this is what i have

[tribal sphinx]

huh never seen that lol

[lone fern]

it might be just for late model ones

once they stopped putting cupholders there

(those cupholders are ass anyways lmao good riddance)

[tribal sphinx]

funny fact there's a few 2001 and 2002 GMT800s that have GMT400 frames

[lone fern]

same with the stupid in dash ones thag just heat up my cold drink and it’s only useable on straight roads lol

[white heart]

Bro why are you arguing with someone with an ai studio Ghibli pfp 💔

[lone fern]

yeah the old hd’s and gmt455’s

[tribal sphinx]

he asked. I gave him an answer

[white heart]

Worst kind of human to exist btw

[lone fern]

you could get them with an 8.1 vortec or a 454

and a 6.5 too i think?

[tribal sphinx]

it hurts their feelings when you dont like their things

[tribal sphinx]

no only the 496

8.1 VT didn't exist till 2004

496 was the 8.1 till 2004

496 mounts up where the 454 did
8.1 VT does not

[lone fern]

what

i own an 8.1 vortec in an 01 hd lmao

[tribal sphinx]

yeah but not with a 400 frame

those have to be 800 frame

[lone fern]

oh i see lol

[tribal sphinx]

and the actual 8.1 VT didn't exist till 04

though 496s say 8.1 VT too

a 496 is just a stroked 454

a 8.1 VT has its own everything

[lone fern]

i need another truck with an 8.1 mine locked up

it was 600$ to be fair

[tribal sphinx]

all of them older then 04 eventually do it

[tribal sphinx]

it needs a wood flat bed NOW

[lone fern]

nahh its my dunes rig lol lemme find some vids

[tribal sphinx]

put a wood flat bed on it

itll look good trust me

[lone fern]

its currently not worth working on it’s just sitting in my yard dead

[tribal sphinx]

I LOVE THAT MUFFLER LOL

is it just straight piped like that

[lone fern]

it’s also held together with bits of rebar and rachet straps and plate steel lmao

[lone fern]

flex pipe from headers straight to muffler 😭

[tribal sphinx]

i love that

[lone fern]

no cv axles in the front

she’s a pile of shit

[tribal sphinx]

I wanna get another truck to fuck around with ngl

I keep anything I actually drive stock for reliability reasons

[lone fern]

buy a beater truck you won’t be disappointed

or a shit cherokee

[white heart]

You just know they'll glaze tesla too

[tribal sphinx]

The insurmountable perfection of AI just isn't known to you!!!!

It managed to find the socket set's model number fyi just not the size of that drawer

[olive locust]

I upgraded my rig for ACE… I may have got a bit carried away with the paint job

[white heart]

Calling chat gpt gock

[tribal sphinx]

That's grok

I don't wanna make an openai account giving companies that violate laws my info scares me

[white heart]

I still know what you are but fair enough

[tribal sphinx]

I am trans sorry

[white heart]

Sis why are you apologizing

:3

[tribal sphinx]

woaw

[olive locust]

well that's an awesome thing to see on joining a new server

[tribal sphinx]

I'ma be real LTT literally has LGBT staff members idk why ur surprised and you should probably go elsewhere if that's not okay 👍

[white heart]

Who are you talking to

Me or

Beel

[tribal sphinx]

beel

[olive locust]

of course that's okay! Just super glad to see people behaving kindly

[white heart]

Anyway low-key when I get my first car I'm either painting it blue or pink

[tribal sphinx]

Oh alright, yeah this server is super respectful unless u come off as rude usually lol

[olive locust]

Blue with pink racing stripe?

[white heart]

Holy shit peak

Or the other way tbh

I always

Really liked flashy things

Soooo

I might go with pink :3

[olive locust]

I'm a huge fan boy for British racing green (as you can see from my new/old case)

[white heart]

Mhm

Tbh it is a cool pink

Saw an Aston Martin today in this color

Why did I say

Cool pink

I'm tired holy

[olive locust]

I almost owned an Audi eTron GT in BRG, but I had to leave the US on short notice, sadness

[white heart]

Aw bummer

[olive locust]

probably a good thing that I only almost owned it - would have been a bitch to lose half its value selling it straight away

[next compass]

Hi all

Id love to get a 06-08 ford crown vic or mercury grand marquis as a daily

Sadly i live in germany and the local used market is… bad
Not many offers and those that do pop up are either quite expensive (~15k€ for 300k+ miles) or in such terrible condition they wont pass the next inspection

Anyone got any tips on getting one?
I wouldnt mind importing but i cant really fly over to the us/canada to inspect any

[lone fern]

i think there are services that will inspect/test drive vehicles for you. Do note that you won’t be getting an absolute gem for 15 because of import/shipping fees and the fact that good condition, non clapped ones here in the U.S are also not cheap

like I was looking at a 64k mile one that was a peach for 9500$ 😭

[next compass]

Hm alright ill take a look, thanks

Also do note that 15k€ is about 17-18kusd and i dont mind getting one thats not like new out of the factory

I just dont want one thats basically totalled lol

[lone fern]

yeah you could definitely get them!

i just dont know how expensive importing stuff is lol

grr

this looks like a stellar deal it’s an old ladies car

[next compass]

I dont know the exact numbers either but i imagine running from agency to agency to eventually get german documents and registration is gonna be the more annoying part

[lone fern]

nvm its all rusty damn

[lone fern]

ooh yeah

i’m sure it’s not cheap fuel wise either lol

[next compass]

From what ive read people get 9-15L/100km in them

When i used to lend my dads company car (2023 mercedes glc 300e hybrid) i couldnt get it below 13L/100km even with gentle driving, following speed limits and regenerative braking

Dont think its much of an issue lol

I like the late panther platform due to reliability, them being full size sedans and them fairly easy to repair with just the right amount of electronics

[cold cypress]

they’re so slow

[lone fern]

i like em cuz they’re the last of the true boat cars lmao

[next compass]

Lol fair enough

Theres a reason why a ton of town cars were converted to stretch limos ig

[lone fern]

super easy as it’s body on frame!

i wish they were as cheap as they used to be

clapped dailys are like 2-3k

[next compass]

Yeah

[merry mason]

🤝🤝

[lone fern]

hell yeah

i am shopping for cheap mini trucks (rangers, s10’s n what not) right now

[tribal sphinx]

you WILL get a crew cab S10

[lone fern]

i found one for 800$ ima lowball him

[tribal sphinx]

Wait you found a crew cab S10

holy fuck those are rare

[lone fern]

yeah

[proven tundra]

Michigan rust moments
Or chevy trucks with dead 4l60s
Nothing but either here for cheap

[lone fern]

yeah i will drive it around in it’s current state lmao

its just gonna be a field bomber for the most part

[proven tundra]

As long as the frame is fine a bof truck like that is fixable

[lone fern]

the frame is rusted through lol

not the first vehicle i’ve owned like that lmao

[proven tundra]

F

[warm lion]

Got my new wheels on finally!
I feel like tire poke gets a bad rap

[native ermine]

thats cause it looks like ass

[lone fern]

😭 poke on a sports car

z owners istg

[fickle swan]

I like not throwing rocks

[native ermine]

get all them stone chips

[fickle swan]

My truck stock tires throw rocks like crazy so I got some flaps

[dull cedar]

It looks like ass and isn't designed for it

And is illegal in any functioning place

[prisma frost]

Ah yes had cylnder 2 and 4 misfire and month ago and now 1 and 2 😄

[civic spoke]

F

[prisma frost]

I think rip engine

I decided to give some gas and stay between 1200rpm and then I got the codes

Car was shaking like crazy

[pure pond]

you really bought a lemon car

[prisma frost]

Does anything look off about this cold/rough start when it comes to the MAP sensor. You can quite literally see how much im shaking

[pure pond]

its a 1.4 right

what i can find at idle so 800-1000 it needs to be around 25-40kpa

[prisma frost]

1.2tsi

CJZC is the engine code

[prisma frost]

Idle during cold is about 48kpa and warm is around 35kpa

[pure pond]

that is about right

so for misfires you checked the injectors and ignition coil/sparkplugs

[prisma frost]

Not the injectors

I only used a injector cleaner

[civic spoke]

If the ignition coil is in pairs, then it would make sense to have misfire on two cylinders.

[prisma frost]

I replaced 4 i believe

[civic spoke]

Coils?

People usually don't want to replace them willy nilly. Since they are more expensive usually.

[prisma frost]

Ye

All 4 coils and plugs

Its like €800 to replace all my injectors

[pure pond]

can also try to get them cleaned but thats still like 75euro per injector

[prisma frost]

Well I don’t even know if its the injectors

[merry mason]

Last thing it can be other than rings

U changed plugs coils and map sensor ?

[prisma frost]

Yeah at least I think that’s the map sensor

[wispy cloak]

Is it direct injected

[prisma frost]

Yes

[wispy cloak]

How many miles

[prisma frost]

~144000km (89477 miles)

[wispy cloak]

Did anybody check for carbon buildup

[prisma frost]

No but I know that is a common issue with these engines and direct injection engines ofc

[wispy cloak]

Might be worth checking

I've never seen one get that bad but it'll definitely cause misfires and low power

[prisma frost]

Well the only weird thing is that I get misfires when engine is cold when its warm it drives smooth

[queen wren]

@dull cedar How often should i change oil and filters?

[dull cedar]

In the Celica? Officially 10k kilometers or 6 months, whichever comes first. I'd be doing 5k though

Filter either every time or every 2nd time

[queen wren]

Okay thanks!

[dull cedar]

Get a K&N with the nut on it, will make life so much easier

And don't forget to prefill the filter

[queen wren]

okok

Thanks!

[dull cedar]

np

And probably use 10w-30 instead of 5w-30

[snow otter]

[scenic sorrel]

The ride for this summer

Opel Corsa 1.3cdti enioy package

[wispy cloak]

I've always just had those round off

[dull cedar]

Then you're an idiot

[wispy cloak]

It's happened to literally every single one I've touched

They're just sheet metal

[dull cedar]

Skill issue

[scenic sorrel]

Underglow on daaa scootie

[wispy cloak]

They're also just kind of expensive

For not a very good filter

I prefer wix, the cheapest brand at the store, or OEM

Just depends on the car

[lone fern]

wix or oem for me

i’m willing to cheap out on the oil as long as it’s certified or whatever but never filter

[charred depot]

If it's stuck enough to need that stupid hex head then it could probably rip off

I remember there was some failures where the nut was welded on, unsure if it was from idiots tightening using it or just weakened from the welding process

Wonder if they are unbanned from the motorsports they got banned from yet

[autumn umbra]

Got a video of it actually starting smooth

And it does just sound shitty after it warms up from what I can tell I’m pretty sure when it does the sound is coming from under the timing cover

[cold cypress]

fiat unit???!

[tepid wing]

How are you supposed to tell if you can charge a normal car at a Tesla charging station?

[stuck sun]

@proud latch i fixed the ac

\O/

On my own cuz fuck the auto shops

they wanted to charge me total $2.2k for compressor and expansion valve replacement

I did it all for under $500

[autumn umbra]

Auto shops are getting outrageous now days

My friend’s mom got quoted for 1100$ for a fuel injector

And I got quoted 1200$ for 3 ignition coils

[native ermine]

please peel off the packaging plastic on the screen

its not protecting anything and it looks silly with that blue pull tab on there

[winged egret]

pic of mine

[prisma frost]

I did idk what that little pull tab was still on there

[native ermine]

[prisma frost]

Wow that sentence not the best

I took the plastic off a long time ago not sure why that pull tab why still on there

[scenic sorrel]

No

Its a unit from PSa

[cold cypress]

the 1.3ctdis are fiat units also used in the corsa d

[scenic sorrel]

Yes for the old ones yes

[cold cypress]

i don’t recall gm making a 1.3 diesel unit

[scenic sorrel]

But the ecotech and the multijet units are diffrent

Its similar

The PSA ones are a bit diffrent

[cold cypress]

it’s half psa half fiat

okay

[scenic sorrel]

Yeah

Wierd

[cold cypress]

this engine has been used in everything

[scenic sorrel]

They are based on the same fiat engine

[cold cypress]

ford too

[scenic sorrel]

But not exactly the same

[cold cypress]

i’ve only driven the 1.6 mtj

which was slow

[scenic sorrel]

Welp the 1.3 diesel feels torquey

[cold cypress]

especially on a dct and a 500x

[scenic sorrel]

Not really fast

[cold cypress]

don’t you find it a bit loud

[scenic sorrel]

But kinda quick for 55hp or the 75hp in my newer corsa

[scenic sorrel]

Welp coming from a prius in the usa

I like the eengine sound lol

Its a manual too so it kinda helps

[cold cypress]

it’s louder than my 1.5 b37

not as loud as a 1.4 tdi

but still

[scenic sorrel]

Welp

Cant say its quite so ur right

Its a bit problematic

Some leaks joints

Sometimes clogged up filters or exhaust issues

AC problems

[cold cypress]

they’re not as bad as the stellantis units in the new corsa

[scenic sorrel]

I want to sell it and get a Corolla next year or a Peugeot 408

[scenic sorrel]

Yeah i heard

[cold cypress]

you can hear those coming like half a kilometre away

[scenic sorrel]

Only reason i bought a corsa is cuz its efficient

[cold cypress]

and they’re notoriously unreliable and slow

[cold cypress]

well it is a diesel

[scenic sorrel]

Lowkey only issue i have rn is it being a manual

Cuz sometimes i go to istanbul n its js a pain

[cold cypress]

it’s mostly highway though

just pop into sixth and you’re fine

[scenic sorrel]

The traffic

[scenic sorrel]

Its a 5 speed lol

[cold cypress]

well

[scenic sorrel]

Also im talkin about the traffic in istanbul especially while crossing to the european side

[cold cypress]

tbf a 5 speed is fine on those they don’t have that high of a top speed

[scenic sorrel]

Shit can barely go up to 140

[cold cypress]

top speed is about 170kmh

[scenic sorrel]

Thats for the 95hp one

The 75hp one i drive struggles to go above 140

[cold cypress]

oof

the 1.0 has more hp 😭

[lone fern]

if the bumper falling off my car wasn’t enough i just smoked a fucking deer so my car is 100% totalled

[stoic ledge]

Omg 😭

[lone fern]

yippee

[gentle thicket]

cursed

[lone fern]

i need to buy another shitbox cuz this wouldn’t have happened lmao

[snow otter]

Time to (hopefully) record some good exhaust audio

[analog rune]

my mini turned off at a stop light and didnt want to turn back on

i just got it 3 months ago 😭

[lone fern]

i mean it is a mini lol

[analog rune]

thats fair, but also i specifically got a good year, i think its an electrical something

it went from no issues at all, to dead and a bunch of codes on obd

[native ermine]

don't smoke deer... that's not good for your health

[analog rune]

— it was also really hot

[lone fern]

lmaooo it’s expensive too 😭

[native ermine]

[snow otter]

well that went great

[lone fern]

🤣🤣 i was considering that option lol i have one in the garage for my shitbox truck lmaoo

[austere tangle]

Did a bike photoshoot after my shift with my girl

[paper sandal]

That's a lot of BMW supras

[cold cypress]

they arent as big of a flop as i thought of them to be

[cold cypress]

RIP 🫡

[halcyon grotto]

Is there such a thing as a good year on one of those minis

[prisma frost]

U insured for that?

[lone fern]

thank goodness yeah but i’ve had it for under a month and put 4k miles on it so i’m pissed it didn’t last me longer lmao

[prisma frost]

Thats very unlucky yeah

And here’s me hoping it would happen to my Polo so I could total it

[lone fern]

so far this year i’ve gone through 3 cars 🫠 one had a junk subframe and broke my crv blew a headgasket and now this lmaooo

[lone fern]

i’ll slam into it for ya

[prisma frost]

[lone fern]

make it look like an accident

[prisma frost]

The hell

[prisma frost]

Thx u

[lone fern]

they call me misfortuanate lmao

[prisma frost]

I can see that

[lone fern]

the junk subframe car lasted me like 17k miles so it was my best of this year

i drive too much

crv lasted about 8k then the buick lasted me a hair over 4k

[prisma frost]

Lol that’s so..

Sad

Poor man

[lone fern]

luckily two were shitboxes so idrc lmao

this one was a bummer tho

and now i gotta deal with insurance which sucks because they’ve already managed to loose my car

they have since found it back but they showed up to my house looking for a car that was actually sitting in a tow yard, went to the wrong tow yard to bring it to auction and couldnt find it because it wasn’t there lmao

[silent bramble]

Does anyone have any recommendations for OBD2 scanners, either standalone or OBD2 to USB for a computer? I’m trying to diagnose why my 2011 Ford F150 is giving me a “service AdvanceTrac” error message, and I’d like to have a good featured scanner to help identify what the problem might be as soon as I get it again (it comes and goes intermittently, so I’m not entirely sure what it is, and the basic OBD2 scanner I have at home rn doesn’t show whatever faults it is)

[wispy cloak]

Michigan trooper 😭

It's all I can see

[wispy cloak]

I need to try and get my exhaust note

[wispy cloak]

I'd either use torque pro on your phone or forscan on a laptop

Forscan can give you near dealer level access

[vocal mural]

The most expensive unmanned petrol station in Doetinchem, Netherlands is gone

Coffee fresh will be built there

[native ermine]

can you put your mouth around one of those pipes and suck out da gas

[prisma frost]

I decided to pop the hood immediately when it started rough and you can see how much it actually shakes. Also it made a very loud chocking noise which sounded horrible and probably not a noise a car is supposed to make but forgot to record on time

[worn lance]

Out of curiosity: How much were gas prices over there?

[snow otter]

way too much

llike 2,15eu next to the highway for euro 95

bit off the highway it goes down to 1,86

most expensive place seems to be 2,23 lol

[worn lance]

Jesus christ, here I think E98 goes for like 1.95ish

But tbh i live close enough to belgium that i just tank there instead

[stoic ledge]

ABC always be refueling in Belgium

1.489 last weekend

[worn lance]

Yeah, I save like 1 white monster per tank

[lone fern]

took him like 50 minutes to show up lmao

[gentle thicket]

Any idea where to get a legit ELM327 to use with it instead of the cheap knockoffs?

[vocal mural]

1,84 € per liter at the moment of petrol. And 1,63 per liter for diesel. (At unmanned stations)

That station was always around +8 cent per liter above

Source: Flitsmeister

[worn lance]

Wait flitsmeister shows gas prices??

[vocal mural]

Pro edition yes

[vocal mural]

Imagine real E98.

98% ethanol

[worn lance]

As someone who moved from Brazil I have no idea how ethanol is seeing abroad, back there it was just considered the "cheapest gas" and a lot of people actually avoided (at least afaik).

[stoic ledge]

Directlease also has prices

Or ANWB Onderweg

[vocal mural]

FM is more accurate imo.

||And more honest, it rounds the last digit up||

[stoic ledge]

Not paying for FM

[vocal mural]

Well i’ve proplus subscription due to travel registration.
It is easier for me to claim work mileage if i need to travel towards HQ of the company I am working at.

Especially such things

72 in 70 = still no ticket

[gentle thicket]

(in the US) It is that crap that is added to basically all gas that is bad for older cars and very bad for small engines (mowers, weeders, ect). But it is also that stuff that you get in high levels for performance built engines due to it's very high knock resistance. (E85 legally can be as low as 51% 😒 or if you're really crazy something like Ignite Red that's 90%)

[low sentinel]

so my friend’s 2010 merc A-class have got an issue

the gear shifter is not switching to drive (automatic) but rather to the manual

[prisma frost]

i love FM

I got FM pro but for no reason really since i dont have apple carplay lol

[prisma frost]

Guess she gotta drive manual now

[prisma frost]

Lets hope

[lone fern]

good lord i gotta trade all my shitboxes for this guys truck that i drove by

[lone fern]

yikessss someone forget to retract the landing gear before goin over the tracks?

[native ermine]

why do they need a pickup

[main pine]

my uncle does wood working and needs the utility

the van wasnt quite cutting it anymore

the hydrolics system in it is very cool

[mighty verge]

Does anyone have any speaker suggestions for Sportster 1200

[mighty verge]

They're known for holding A lot of weight

[rugged lynx]

i havent done a bike build

if its getting a woofer you can do a small ported box with a decent woofer and the box can be about one cubic foot

you can go less but then the port tuning starts to suck

[paper sandal]

Can someone explain me wtf can be making that noise in Mercedes actors?

[mighty verge]

I do have 6 inch bags.I can use for speaker

[rugged lynx]

there is also speakers out there that have a lot of bass might be better

i havent looked in a while might take some research

car speakers kind of expect a whole door or trunk to be behind them

[mighty verge]

That's why I have the bags to use them like a door

[rugged lynx]

im just saying they want a lot of space behind them to work

[mighty verge]

https://images.app.goo.gl/nU32GartDPxJDG2aA

[rugged lynx]

if you want bass maybe tune high in a ported box high 30hz, a lot of amps have subsonic

subsonic filters

so you dont break the woofer below tuning

and these are pretty efficient wont take more than 200 watts but they kind of suck below 35hz but you wont be playing that outside anyway
https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-DCS205-4-8-Classic-Subwoofer-4-Ohm-295-200

they are as efficient as some 12 and 15" woofers above 35 hz

should work sealed too

oh wait, rain lol

hey look prefabs

[compact grotto]

I feel like I've been seeing this guy work on this car and his old 4-rotor for years at this point. this current 5-rotor is wild. Incredible build. https://youtu.be/kYEDSkMiF5w?t=566

@dusk ocean caught any of this guy before?

[wet seal]

i have no idea but happens with my older cars too sometimes

which car is it?

[paper sandal]

I've already written there

[vocal mural]

Usually from 77

[prisma frost]

Here is the chocking noise I heard yesterday. Its at the end but a bit hard to hear despite it making quite a lot of noise

[white heart]

Another issue again ?

[queen wren]

@white heart You bought a car yet?

[prisma frost]

Same misfire issue still but hearing this noise now

[leaden solar]

how does one man convince himself to do this

[pure pond]

i would just take it to a vw garage if the other mechanic cant fix this

[prisma frost]

They were saying that it could be a vacuum leak and this is the sensor they meant not the MAP sensor that I thought. Also said misfires could be from defective plugs and coils that were damaged during transport…

It might also need walnut blasting though

Cars got 145xxxkm on it

[white heart]

How many time will I tell you about I gotta wait until at least august lmaooooo

[white heart]

You're a better person than me cause I would have shot the engine already

[queen wren]

1000000 times more

[white heart]

500 times more

[queen wren]

1000 take it or leave it

[torn swan]

[civic spoke]

That's the i4, right?

[torn swan]

yeah

wanted an hybrid but the price of fuel convinced me to not get one

but this one have 600km of range

still 3x compared to the tesla

i only do 210km with the tesla

[civic spoke]

I own an i3S since a month back. Enjoying it thus far.

[torn swan]

i drove one and i hate it lmao

@magic zinc do you know the person with the black elantra n

[vocal mural]

I meant Western EU. Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, France Sweden and Luxemburg

[magic zinc]

You mean the guy who totaled his? yeah

[wispy cloak]

There's one in my neighborhood

Not far from the purple one at the apartments

[magic zinc]

[paper sandal]

It's A5 near Frankfurt am Main

Idk if there any other places with the overhead cables for trucks in Germany

[fickle swan]

I should ppf my truck

I actually don’t know, this is my first carb rebuild

it doesnt have to, you can always check if its closes at the right level

[scenic sorrel]

God i heard someone say

"So good at the bottom that the huzz call me Mercedihh W14 cuz how i hop em like they are Lewis Hamilton"

[tepid wing]

Why don't charging stations install solar shades? I know it doesn't offset the electricity at all, but it will provide shade and look green. Companies love greenwashing!

[civic spoke]

Cuz money.

If it costs extra money, then they don't want it.

[limber whale]

Well I replaced the needle on the one that didn’t bounce and it started bouncing so clearly it meant something

[tepid wing]

But green washing will make it more popular! Shade will reduce maintenance costs due to the weather!

[torn swan]

all the paper work done i just have to wait september now

got this colour finally

red leather interior, all options etc

it’s technically same gen than my old series 5 (the one i had before the tesla) so felt right at home

i had a g30

that’s a g22

[minor adder]

I love clean German cars so much

[dusk ocean]

brooklyn gray? also have m440i gc in brooklyn

They turned out wayyyy too blue

Not legal here and have to replace it, ordered new ones

[torn swan]

brooklygrau yea

my old series 5 was brooklyngrau too

if you don’t mind sending pic btw 👉🏼👈🏼

because they didn’t had one in brooklyngrau to show me how it look on the 4 series

[dusk ocean]

@torn swan shared above

[torn swan]

thanks 🙏🏽

only sad thing is that i can’t have harman kardon + m sport package in my region somehow

so no harman kardon for me

[civic spoke]

One thing I don't like with more modern BMW's is their dummy thicc steering wheels.

[merry mason]

Anyone here know anything about diy sand blasting

Doing my chassis

And the hard to reach parts just take ages and can’t really get em good

[gentle thicket]

that is kinda crazy blue. Personally, I like the normal yellow bulbs myself. The cool white color absolutely disappears in a night rain.

[tribal sphinx]

you think you're so fucking cool huh? I have a 6.5 dually that was $500

[lone fern]

hell yeah make sure to relocate the pmd and check your harmonic balancer and replace it

they love to explode

[dusk ocean]

ah, yeah i got every package

[dusk ocean]

yeah the modern M sport/M wheels are thick

[torn swan]

only thing i couldn’t get is harman kardon sadly

i have hi-fi audio instead

will probably still be better than the tesla lmao

[dusk ocean]

I wanted the carbon fiber but it added like an unknown amount of time to the order

so got the bicubic aluminum or whatever, my wife wanted that anyway

[torn swan]

well actually no idea because you can’t see speakers on the photo

i need to take a look

like the dealer told me i have all the available options for the french market

[torn swan]

for me it’s the colour adding a lot of time lmao

if it was like uni white i would have got it in july

but i’m okey to wait til september for a much better looking car

[dusk ocean]

what color interior?

[torn swan]

red

[dusk ocean]

ah yeah thats not for me. i wanted black but my wife wanted the brown

i had imola red interior with an e39 m5 and it stained my jeans

[torn swan]

yeah for me it’s just because it’s a dream lmao

[dusk ocean]

ah word this is just my wifes beater 😛

[torn swan]

if i was reasonable i would have took black

but i’ve been dreaming of a brand new bimmer

[dusk ocean]

this is what i got my wife

[stoic ledge]

No adaptive cruise

[dusk ocean]

No? oh well, i never use that anyhow

we drive our cars like 15 miles a week lol we don't really cruise control anywhere

[torn swan]

i haven’t took it too

it’s useless

[dusk ocean]

most cars it fucks up the front grill

i don't think it was even an option on my f80

[stoic ledge]

Most cars nowadays it's hidden

[stoic ledge]

For M3/4 it wasn't iirc

[dusk ocean]

inherently cannot be

looks like ass

[torn swan]

same interior i took but in red (and without paddle shifter because ev 🥲)

[torn swan]

in europe it’s hidden by the plate somehow

[dusk ocean]

no, it'll still be there

its a radar device it needs to be exposed

[torn swan]

oh

maybe i never saw one with the radar

i don’t even think we have AAC in europe

due to france regulations

[torn swan]

oh yeah never saw a M with it then

[dusk ocean]

it looks dorkus

[torn swan]

i don’t remember that little thing

[dusk ocean]

mercedes tries to blend it in better but it still stands out

[torn swan]

yeah

[dusk ocean]

blocking all my intercooler surface

[stoic ledge]

I mean the BMW pignose looks ass anyway so that's fine

[dusk ocean]

nah its great, it grows on you

no patience for blockage

[magic zinc]

I wish I had adaptive cruise in the N

It's a Korea-only option

[torn swan]

i had a tesla with the fsd thing

never used it

in like 3y of ownership

never used any cruise control thing

[brittle totem]

New BMW so you can always get it trough their store as long as the car has hardware which most likely does.

[brittle totem]

Nah its very nice to have on long trips.

Or in stop and go traffic.

[torn swan]

i live in europe

longest trip i do is 3h

and it’s once a year to go see my family in spain

[brittle totem]

VW went from having sensors nicely integrated in the VW logo to have it seperate which looks way worse.

[brittle totem]

Not really but you dont notice is as much since the plate is right over it.

[brittle totem]

Yeah i use it alot on highways drivers.

[torn swan]

i only stay for 15min on the highway

max

per day

[brittle totem]

But the best thing with ACC is when you are stop and go or slow moving traffic.

[torn swan]

it’s not available here

local laws for the car to only make it work on highway

[brittle totem]

What?

Level 2 systems are legal all throughout EU i thought.

[torn swan]

the car won’t enable any kind of AAC outside an highway

i had this with the tesla that’s why i never used it

[brittle totem]

That's weird i know that some BMW from F gen could only use active Lane Assist on highways but ACC worked everywhere.

[brittle totem]

FSD is not even available in EU.

[torn swan]

yeah but you still have AAC feature

mine was fsd ready

[brittle totem]

So everyone in EU that bought it Bascially just made donations to Tesla.

[torn swan]

it’s my company that paid for it all good

it was basically free

because in france they reduce your taxes if you get ev lmao

got the i4 for almost free

it’s like if i paid the car 10k€ except it’s worth 80k€

[brittle totem]

Same here EV/PHEV gets reduced benefit tax on company cars.

[torn swan]

only EV in france

[brittle totem]

Meanwhile private buyers Bascially dont get any tax benefits 💀

[torn swan]

PHEV get a fine

[brittle totem]

Yeah Phev gets less reduced taxed then EV's but still good amount.

[torn swan]

here they’re more taxed than diesel cars sometimes

due to their weight

they did this because people were getting bmw m5 as their company car

and paid no tax

so you see a lot of bmw m5 here lmao

[brittle totem]

EV's are not lighter in most cases.

[torn swan]

yeah but they don’t count battery weight in france

so they’re not affected by the weight malus

and they’re still tax free

and have insane fiscal advantages

[brittle totem]

Yeah you only get reduced benefit taxs on cars that are less then 700k sek (€62k) here so not a problem.

[torn swan]

here they give you back 60% of the car value

in tax rebate

so if you pay more than 120k€ of taxes it’s worth it

like i pay around 400k€ of taxes on company

i could buy 3 bmw i4

and they gave me back 150k€

so i only pay 250k€ of taxes this year

instead of 400k

[brittle totem]

Here the company pays market value for the car but the driver gets reduced benefit tax if its PHEV/EV for under €62k 50% on EV's and 25% on phevs.

[torn swan]

no limit on car price here

it’s not worth on cheap ev

[brittle totem]

That's some very subsidies cars you have.

[torn swan]

lmao yeah

the govt is basically paying for my new car

[brittle totem]

They have limit here because they dont want to subsidies "luxury cars" although you can get some very nice cars for €62k so not the end of the world.

[torn swan]

you see a lot of nice ev here due to this

like the more options i was getting on the i4 the more worth it was lmao

[brittle totem]

People pay taxes to subsdize €100k+ EV's That's wild.

[torn swan]

french gov take 70% of my salary

due to taxes

and that’s the only public money i receive since i never go to public hospital, never went to public school etc

im basically paying taxes for other people

[stoic ledge]

Steering wheel is missing a the buttons

Can't add that

Via software

[brittle totem]

Yeah no distance buttons i assume it doen't har the "preparation for driving asstisncd then"

We had BMW loaner that didn't have ACC but it said infotainment that it could get monthly subscription or bugy it outright.

[stoic ledge]

Preparation for driving assistance

Meanwhile an Aygo has ACC as standard

[brittle totem]

German premium brands will never include anything as standard.

[brittle totem]

The thing is that most of that have auto parking and stuff like that but no ACC for whatever reason.

[stoic ledge]

Yeah the autopark nobody ever uses

In my Astra I used it once just to see
In the Karoq I've never used it
In the e-tron I've never used it
In the Q6 I've never used it

[torn swan]

i had to pay for keyless entry

which is standard on most cars now

a bit wtf for a car that start at 60k€ without any options

[brittle totem]

Well its like that on premium German brands.

[torn swan]

yeah ikr

i only had german cars in my life lmao

except for the tesla

[brittle totem]

Tried is couple of times in new Passat it works great but its to slow finding spots. But it can also remember how you drive into you driveway/parking garage and then drive our or in the next time but itself which is pretty cool but year more of gimmick.

[torn swan]

i took the auto park feature because i’m too scared to fuck the car in parking lmao

wait

i probably have aac if i do have autopark

oh

[fickle swan]

I want some lighter wheels for my truck but all the decent options are like 30mm lower offset and I dont wanna blast my paint with rocks

[torn swan]

yeah i do apparently

[brittle totem]

Not to sure about that its seperate option on BMW.

[fickle swan]

Ive owned German, Japanese, and American vehicles

[brittle totem]

Autopark is more common on then ACC

[torn swan]

it’s called Inovation pack

it doesn’t say the options i have on the car on the paper that say what i ordered

[fickle swan]

My benz has automatic parking but no radar cruise

My truck has radar cruise and lane centering and 360 cam but no automatic park

[brittle totem]

Here in Sweden they we get "special base models" that are better equipped usually have most stuff you want already because of how the company car systems works so that's nice. And this is the case even for brands like BMW.

[stoic ledge]

Auto park doesn't use radar but just PDC, and in fancier/newer cars 360 cams

[torn swan]

you need to add AAC for the parking thing

so i’ll probably have aac then

[brittle totem]

Innovation should include all of the driver assitance stuff i think

[stoic ledge]

BMW just forces you to bundle it

[torn swan]

ACC sorry

[stoic ledge]

It's not technically required to have them both

[torn swan]

all good i took all the bundles anyways

[brittle totem]

Here they bundle everything and give you discount on top 😃

Which means its cheaperthen the base model

[fickle swan]

Ive been messing with bmw configuration cuz im gonna probably move to bmw instead of another Mercedes

The options on all German cars really do get crazy

I dont understand why 4 series gets ventilated seats but 3 series doesnt

[brittle totem]

Yeah its weird also the H/K sound system in I4 is also way better then what you get 3 series.

[torn swan]

i couldn’t spec H/K in mine

[fickle swan]

I'm thinking of getting an m440i xdrive next

[brittle totem]

That sucks

[fickle swan]

M4 is too rough for our roads

And the seats hurt my ass

[brittle totem]

Nice sound system is always nice to have

[torn swan]

yeah you can’t have both H/K and m sport package here

[brittle totem]

[torn swan]

france market

they don’t let you spec it with both

i saw it at the dealer

[fickle swan]

I dont understand how people can fit in the carbon buckets

They weren't made for American bodies

[torn swan]

when he tried to add h/k it removed the m sport package

[torn swan]

because we ain’t american

[fickle swan]

Even the taycan seats hurt my thighs

[torn swan]

im like 52kg lmao

[brittle totem]

That makes no sense at all

[fickle swan]

I'm asian so I should be skinny but I'm into powerlifting

And eating

[torn swan]

they’re specked with HiFi audio only

[brittle totem]

Could you atleast get hifi system or are stuck with base system?

[torn swan]

the dealer told me it was still better than the one in the tesla

[torn swan]

hi-fi is base

[fickle swan]

You can always upgrade the speakers later if you're committed to the car

[brittle totem]

Oh here you get base then hifi and top is H/K

[torn swan]

i will keep the car only 2y

[fickle swan]

Oh

[torn swan]

i renew my car every 2 to 3y

just before inspection

[fickle swan]

I like to keep mine

Ive had this almost 8 years

[torn swan]

the longest i kept a car is my old golf cabrio that i still use on weekends during summer

i can’t sell it because it’s my first car (and also because it was owned by my dad back in 2003)

but all my daily ive kept them for less than 2y

[fickle swan]

I was doing that too but I ended up just really liking this car, nothing I test drive feels worth spending on when I have this already

So i added a truck

[torn swan]

it’s just because i all get them as company car so it’s not worth to keep them more than 2y

[fickle swan]

Oh yeah I pay cash for mine or a low interest loan so it makes sense to keep them

[tepid wing]

I've only had a car for a little over a year, just hit 15K miles.

[dusk ocean]

whats what i just got

m440i gc

[fickle swan]

Nice

I was thinking I want the 2 door cuz i have a truck now so I don't really need storage

[dusk ocean]

i have kids so 2 doors are annoying, otherwise i'd get a 911

[fickle swan]

Ive been looking at mid 2010s 911s as well

[dusk ocean]

i've had a few

[fickle swan]

Having this truck really gives me more freedom for a car choice

[dusk ocean]

but once the kids came...

[fickle swan]

I could get a 2 door rwd or even a convertible

Ive always owned awd sedans and driven them year round

I don't have kids yet but I want a dog

[dusk ocean]

i've always had a bunch of cars so it never mattered too much what the weather was

[fickle swan]

If I had more to spend on vehicles I'd probably stop at 3

Rwd 2 door, awd sedan or wagon, big truck

[dusk ocean]

yeah i have always had a biggish truck, then 4-5 cars, sometimes more

a couple really impractical ones and then like average ones, and then some awd

[fickle swan]

Id have to move out of an hoa neighborhood for that

I cant even fit my 2 vehicles in the garage til I buy a shed and also move a bunch of this shit to my rental properties

[dusk ocean]

thats because fake 2 car garage

[fickle swan]

Yea

They both technically fit but its super tight

[dusk ocean]

should be illegal

thats a one car garage

[fickle swan]

My neighbors house was built just like 5 years later and he fits a cayenne and an f150 tremor and his riding mower in the garage

I cant fit a sedan and a baby raptor and a push mower

[dusk ocean]

a coworker of mine just built a house thats terribly small for terribly too much money and it has a "2 car garage"

it fits his s4, and with the doors open you can almost walk past it

[fickle swan]

Its better than my last place at least, it had a detached garage that barely fit the sedan

And before that I had street parking

Next place will have more room for toys for sure

[dusk ocean]

i want to build a steel building with like 18 car parking

[lone fern]

i park all my cars in the lawn

or backyard

[dusk ocean]

i would

[fickle swan]

Stradman house

[lone fern]

basically minus the fact that they’re all shitboxes and i live in the middle of bumfuck nowhere lol

i currently don’t have a single nice car again 😭

[fickle swan]

Cars are so fun but take so much money

I really like both my vehicles currently though, they're both fun and practical in different ways

@brittle totem ACC is included stock in france on the i4 somehow

régulateur de vitesse actif

i have it

i don’t seem to have electric seats tho ?

a bit wtf

because the dealer told me i have all the options possible for the i4

[brittle totem]

Yeah ask the dealer about that before its to late.

[torn swan]

yup

ill have to go back to bmw soon anyways

because they need some paper about my company to fully order the car

[brittle totem]

Didn't know they still made eDrive 35 we only have eDrive 40 how is the range and charging on the smaller battery version?

[torn swan]

600km

in city

and 470 on the highway

i was forced to take the eDrive 35 due to my age

like the insurance is already over 500€/months with it

and if i took the 40 it would have been way over 700

[brittle totem]

Holy i hope the company pays for that just ridiculous.

[torn swan]

nope it’s me paying for it

since i’m the only driver

the insurance is extremely high just because it’s a bmw

on the tesla it was 60€ a month

[brittle totem]

I would probably have gotten an other car at point paying 500€/month for insurance is way to much on such a car. But its up to you if you feel its worth it.

[torn swan]

ill negociate with my insurance company

reduce the price or i cancel all the contracts of the company (which is way over 10k€ lmao)

[brittle totem]

Interesting here the company pays for insurance aswell. Bascially the only thing you pay is benafit tax as the driver rest is on the company.

[brittle totem]

Here Tesla has higher insurance rate then similar EV's.

[queen wren]

no

less is less

After about 2 years the engine is finally done!

It first got ripped out April 20th of last year, and blew up like August of 2023

Went from 1.6l to 1.75l, and went from a distributor to coil on plug!

Using k series coils and cam angle sensors on a d series is kinda overkill and definitely not necessary

But more reliability and heehoo tooning

Gotta put it in the crx and break it in before I slap the turbo on unfortunately

[bleak pewter]

scale of 1 to 10 how cheesy is this

for my pfp

[desert bobcat]

Cheezy af

[bleak pewter]

tragic

[prisma frost]

Good job just do it in 1 day next time

[bleak pewter]

advice coming from a guy who has goon in his profile is crazy work though

just sayin

[desert bobcat]

Why ask if you you’re just gonna retaliate

[lone fern]

you literally asked dude

and i cant say he’s wrong lmao

[bleak pewter]

im not mad its just silly

[bleak pewter]

i do appreciate the feedback

[hollow pasture]

Engines are expensive when you don't just slap them back together with no care :(
