especially bc it's not diesel

yeah, ive seen some diesels that need 50km to get up to operating temp, modern ones are faster but still need 20-30 to properly get warm

gasoline is quite quick in comparison, in my 124 the water is warm after a single km in ~10°c weather, i generally consider it warm (including oil) after like 15-25km

still gentle with it afterwards though

I've got a vortec 4200 in the vehicle hiding in the background (because the rear axle and entire frame has left the chat) but he's adamant on getting the old V12 running again. Personally I'd throw in the 4200 and turbo it but I'll have to wait and see. The engine cranks but the gas tank needs to be drained and pretty much every rubber hose on that thing needs to be replaced.

You want an egg here is one of the worst Korean cars ever built, it's a shame on how low the miles are on this, 57k and I can't wait to see what a total engine failure looks like, I love paying out the nose to have a timing belt replaced every 60k, Chilton's manual is a 64 step process, I'm like nope I can do an oil change and redo brakes but when it comes to a timing chain or belt that's when I start to fear.

@delicate sinew damn that's a low mileage

#

@placid monolith I was told a lot of the Cruze were duds and people were trading them in left and right. Since I got this car in September and use it as a daily driver, I haven't noticed any issues and feel that some people aren't giving it a chance to survive and are going off of what others say

trying to decide between a 2012 golf gti manual and a rebuilt title 2015 scion tc

Does that imply major damage or that it was just rebuilt with a different engine or different components?

Are you talking about Florida rebuilt titles?

I'm pretty sure those are like Salvage title cars that are road legal again.

delicate sinew
#

Well I live in Canada so the information I have is different from what differs to your country and state

tribal pulsar
#

It means the car was declared as totaled by an insurance company, meanining it would cost too much to fix, and someone then fixed it and got it re-inspecteded and it passed

delicate sinew
#

Ah so I was thinking correctly

#

I mean, if it runs and there are no other issues I'd probably go for the scion, but the VW's are always fun cars

tribal pulsar

Yeah.... it's surprisingly hard to choose

I think the Golf GTI is just too much fun to pass up

delicate sinew

Yeah, go with the Golf

it wont do that but the tourqe on it might just be fun for burnouts

civic spoke
#

Depends on how they program the car, and if you can lock out the motors for the front wheels.

heady ridge
#

lol ive had my little front wheel drive do burnouts and its only got 49 hp

valid kiln
#

I can see them getting under 2 second 0-60 times with good street tires and a good awd system

civic spoke
#

I'm still skeptical. I want to know what kind of tires they will be using on their car.

heady ridge
#

lol you know the kind only they can fit and cost a few grand each

#

its why i drive a crud box and a 4x4

#

tires are cheap for a full set

civic spoke
#

A full set of high performance tires for something like the new McLaren 720S is maybe $1,500+ for the set. Possibly higher.

#

All depending on where you get them, etc.

#

Tire Rack says almost $1,800

heady ridge
#

yikes i can get like 4 sets of muddies for less

civic spoke
#

I was just looking at the Pirelli Trofeo R tire. Which is very close to a proper track tire.

I liked that Jason went out and said "They are all claims. And the car isn't actually out yet"

earnest turret
civic spoke
#

@earnest turret Eh. I don't think that I would personally want a $250k electric sports car. You probably won't be able to do any track work or anything with it without the batteries getting picky about how you drive it.

#

And they scheduled its release for 2020. Which we will see if they can manage.

earnest turret
#

yea

civic spoke
#

I think the biggest thing for electric cars is their lack of character?

earnest turret
#

Personally as someone who likes Tesla, it makes no sense to me why they are announcing two new cars when they can't even produce the car that most people are looking to buy and want to buy

civic spoke
#

They have that massive torque that hits you in the gut, and that quickly accelerates your car.

earnest turret
#

@civic spoke what do you mean by lack of charecter?

civic spoke
#

They don't have an engine that produces sound, drama, etc.

earnest turret
#

*character

civic spoke
#

Their whole spiel is as I said, massive torque that hits you in the gut. And that's about it.

earnest turret
#

It's a love it or hate it

civic spoke
#

I can appreciate electric cars for what they honestly are best at.

#

Which is basically as a daily driver.

#

Commuter car, mainly.

earnest turret
#

You can't appreciate it until you own one

#

The quiet nature of the car, especially once you get double pane windows, is something I love

#

...and wouldn't go back to

civic spoke
#

I'm pretty sure that I would love it as well. It's the perfect commuter car to/from work, etc.

#

But I don't think that I would ever consider one if I wanted to drive on the backroads, or if I frequently took roadtrips. Since there would have to be so much more planning involved.

#

The truck they also announced is also kinda "Ehh" from some view points.

#

It will be a truck that will just drive to/from ports or warehouses, to the stores.

#

And the whole "You charge it in 30 minutes when you have to take a break anyways! No need to sit around idle while you fill up your normal truck"

#

That doesn't work.

earnest turret
#

What do you mean "it doesn't work"

civic spoke
#

Since the drivers go around checking their truck while they are filling up.

#

Checking the tires, lamps, windshield, etc.

earnest turret
#

While they are charging it, they can do the same

civic spoke
#

But Elon made it sound like that you could just take your break then. Is what I'm saying.

#

He made it sound as if they were just sitting around idle while they were filling up.

#

And are they really going to go with a center driving position as well?

#

Give the trucker more blindspots than he already has?

heady ridge
#

urgh i hope they dont truckers in aus are already stupid as is in qld

#

trying to merg onto the highway at 120km/h? here let me do 140 and stop you

civic spoke
#

The Tesla truck can really only be used for somewhat local deliveries.

heady ridge
#

wont stop them trying with the brisbane port to highway runs

#

i already hate getting onto the highway as a passenger

civic spoke
#

Trucks are limited to, uhh, 90 kmh over here?

heady ridge
#

doesnt stop them from doing car speeds

#

the cops ping the cars anyways and not truckies

civic spoke
#

I think they even restrict them over here. So you won't be able to go above ~90 kmh.

#

And I looked it up, it's 80~90 kmh.

#

That their maximum speed limit is.

heady ridge
#

they are speed restricted but they dont care

#

nope they do 110 like every other car

civic spoke
#

I personally respect truckers. I usually tend to stay out of their way.

heady ridge
#

i do aswell but not the non responsible ones where i am

#

49 horse power of NOPE

civic spoke
#

I used to drive a small 70 hp diesel car.

heady ridge
#

try mine is called the puttputt machine

#

49 kw

civic spoke
#

Oh, kw. Yeah, that's a bit higher than hp.

#

So umm, that's like... about 70?

heady ridge
#

idk its still a puttputt machine

civic spoke
#

Ever tried towing a trailer with it?

#

Because I have with the car I drove.

heady ridge
#

dont have a trailer hitch

civic spoke
#

I wasn't able to make it past 50 kmh going up a hill.

heady ridge
#

lol i need to get more fuel for it

civic spoke
#

But anyways. What the Tesla truck will excel at is daily use. The normal day work.

#

Where they can sit at a port "idling", get their load, and then drive off to a warehouse, etc.

#

Or from the warehouse to a store.

heady ridge
#

i still dont like the idea of them unless they have at least 4 diffrent camera's

#

2 on the mirrors 2 on the trailer

civic spoke
#

They will NEED to have all of the normal mirrors and such before they are allowed out in the public.

#

And it's kinda hard with cameras on the trailer.

heady ridge
#

yea defently but the camera for extra where they cant see if they do a middle seat

civic spoke
#

Since the trailers won't be Tesla-made.

#

They will be your generic trailers.

#

I honestly have no idea why they went with a center seat.

heady ridge
#

so do what my brothers traffic controll did have a connector wired in so that if not connected it will flash a warning and report the failure

civic spoke
#

Other than "Hey look, we're cool and different"

heady ridge
#

yea

civic spoke
#

Sitting in the center just makes it harder for you to see everything around you.

#

And I don't really know what I think about those screens either.

heady ridge
#

never saw them just looking at the front made me hate it

civic spoke
#

It means that you can't really use the truck at night. And how will it be with glare?

heady ridge
#

let me guess mounted to the windscreen?

#

hey look vision obstuctions

civic spoke
#

Anyways. I gotta prepare to help out a friend with an oil change.

@dire fiber I agree. My dad has a MK2 GTI in the driveway, that thing looks pretty sweet still. I have a MK4 GTI right next to it.

i originally wanted a busa engined one

turbo busa

civic spoke
#

I was wondering for a second if you really meant Front-engine/Front-wheel drive. And that yours was RR.

willow zealot
#

but they are super unreliable

civic spoke
#

Now I get it after seeing how they do it.

willow zealot
#

and i drove mine to college for 2years lol

civic spoke
#

Yeah, the K20 engine makes sense.

willow zealot
#

the torque is unreal

#

you can set off in 6th gear if you want

#

and it will just pull

#

because of the weight

forest cedar
#

damn

civic spoke
#

The Busa engine is insane for the high revs that it has. But it's kinda meh, since it's a lacking in torque.

willow zealot
#

yeah 1300cc vs 2.0

civic spoke
#

And you really have to keep up with maintenance as well.

#

More oil changes, etc.

willow zealot
#

the k20 is let free in a mini like mine

#

it doesnt break a sweat

civic spoke
willow zealot
#

vtec is dangerous tho

forest cedar
#

ahhh yes

civic spoke
#

Vtec. Yo!

forest cedar

tht was a great video and a great car

willow zealot

if vtec kicks in when youre going round a bend

#

you might be in trouble

civic spoke
#

That sudden increase of torque will get ya.

willow zealot
#

vfrs are sweet

#

such a nice sound

#

its like an extra 80hp instantly

#

anyone ride bikes here?

civic spoke
#

Oh, speaking about insane sounding bikes.

#

I want to, but don't have a license for it or anything.

willow zealot
#

is that a 250?

#

i know honda made a bike they call a babyblade

#

thats a 250 and revs over 20k

civic spoke
#

I'm not sure if that's a 200 or a 250.

#

Name makes me think 200?

#

But 200cc is a odd displacement for a bike.

willow zealot
#

my favs are the old kawasaki triples

#

2stroke

civic spoke
#

Yeah, it's a 250cc. Had to look it up.

#

250cc with four cylinders 😄

#

Hence the insane sound.

willow zealot
#

haha its like 4moped engines bolted together

#

i saw a video ages ago on the best engine ever

#

sooo perfect

civic spoke
#

Probably easier to explain it as a tiny 600cc engine.

willow zealot
#

a 2.0 v4 2stroke

#

made by frankensteining 4 honda cr500 motors together

civic spoke
#

Hah, a 2 stroke. Thing must to scary as hell to drive.

willow zealot
#

it wasnt in a vehicle when i saw it

#

pretty sure it was just seperate motors that were made to drive one special made gearbox

civic spoke
#

Have you heard of the Sub7Up?

willow zealot

still cool AF

willow zealot
#

haha no i havent

civic spoke
#

A VW Up that has been tuned and worked over a little bit. 😄

willow zealot
#

it reminds me of the toyota AygoCrazy

civic spoke
#

Has like 125 hp to the wheels, and 250 Nm of torque.

#

I heard that they had plans to put a larger turbo on that Up during the off season now. I wonder if they will do it.

civic spoke
#

I remember hearing about that car.

#

The rubber for that Up 😄

willow zealot
#

haha thats pretty sweet

#

looks like the tyres on my mini

The VW Up is honestly not a bad little car.

theyre a big upgrade from the old one

can you buy an upgti?

civic spoke
#

My own car is just an E46 320i.

willow zealot

i thought it was just a concept thing

civic spoke
#

I think they have gone on sale with the Up GTI now?

#

Checking.

#

I guess it's not actually for sale here.

#

But I know that they are going to sell it.

willow zealot
#

they sell little sporty cars in spain i think

civic spoke
willow zealot
#

they had the seat ibiza cupraR

civic spoke

That Sub7Up is the car from a rental company near the Nürburgring.

#

One of the employees drive it.

willow zealot
#

id love to live near there

#

id never leave lol

civic spoke
#

Just buy a seasonal pass for the Ring and drive until you're out of gas. 😄

willow zealot

joking aside it would be real nice to have as just something to do

#

some frineds come to visit and you go for a few laps of the ring

The owner of that rental company has some damn nice cars.

i bet

the guy with all the gtrs has a few nice ones lol
