Anyone using AT tires in the snow
#cars
coral linden

at?
civic spoke
All terrain?

You're thinking all season.
All Season =/= Winter tires.
They should be called Three-Season. tbh
merry shadow
Are all season that bad on snow/ice ?... havent used before
I hate changing tires... all season would be cool
coral linden
All Terrain. and all seasons aren't good in the winter, they're 'ok' even marginal, snow tires are a must
Trailhawk comes with AT, not sure how they are in the snow or if I'd need a second set
takes me longer to set up to do a tire change than doing the actual work and yeah it's a good time to inspect everything that you might not see with them on. i always check the pad thickness to make sure my caliper isn't dragging
found my answer, guess I'll need 2 sets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ahrlD40so4 I'll pay the extra to not die/kill someone in the winter
civic spoke
If you see plenty of ice and snow on the roads during winter. Then I highly suggest a set of winter tires.
coral linden
yep, always had them. we don't get it all the time but when we do there's often a lot and shitty conditions. looks like we got a foot in the past two days
and freezing rain.
carmine summit
Can't beat snow tires on snow and ice. All season tires don't work.
coral linden
Have them on all my cars, even AWD. Great that you can go, stopping is better
carmine summit
why not studded snow tires
coral linden
Mine are studable but we can't use them here. No mountains and the snow gets cleared. They're good for places where theres always snow on the ground
fallow crescent
I still forget studded snow tires are a thing. In South Carolina they were illegal to have unless there was physically snow or ice on the ground. Which snow.... Yeah, once every couple of years normally
carmine summit
Yeah studded tires are illegal here too, (Ontario Canada) but chains would be worse.
fathom socket
the new supra is inbound
time to buy one
Such Teases
its being unveiled at geneva
fathom socket
have people forgot how much mk iv's cost
and the cheap ones have hundreds of thousands of k's on them
and sure the mark iv was good
but it wasnt perfect
no car is perfect
carmine summit
I prefer the A60 to the A80 myself
wary sinew
i was like 1-4 years old when the supra mk iv was selling as brand new
how much did it cost back then?
40k?
fathom socket
i think a bit mroe
*more
since people thought they made 1000hp if they didnt know the car well
wary sinew
huh somehow i like more the mk III
vital glen
@fathom socket you know it will make like 330hp
vital glen
And you can see a mkv prototype
Driving on the streets
From pictures
@fathom socket also why the fuck did the MkIV weigh so much
fathom socket
they are made of steel
vital glen
I understand
The new one will be made of plastic and duct tape
Because it has all of the safety features
But weighs the same

Ever heard of brakes sporadically not working? Driving home from Dallas I nearly rear ended a truck, and then on my way to a meetup, I was following my mom, and nearly rear ended her.
Could it be master cylinder losing pressure randomly or something?
I don't know too much about cars, sorry
fathom socket
yeah sounds like a lack of pressure
i would get that checked
did you put your foot to the floor on the brake?
and does your car have ABS
if it doesnt have ABS
tropic zodiac
Car has abs and no I'm not slamming the brakes
fathom socket
okay
yeah sound like a lack of brake fluid or lack of pressure, either that or your pads/rotors are failing
i would advise taking it to a mechanic
if you dont feel comfortable with working on your own brakes
tropic zodiac
I went to Firestone today for a brake check but because they're doing it free, they're booked up. I can't go until the weekend, I have school and work as a delivery driver
fathom socket
yeah if your getting brake slip like that dont drive the car
unless its to take it for the maintenence
its too much risk to drive with failing brakes
tropic zodiac
Yeah, but can't really skip high school. So i asked my dad to take it in tomorrow, and I'll drive his car
tropic zodiac
I found driving on (L) low gear? Worked pretty well for slowing down without using the brakes
tropic zodiac
I got the oil changed about a month ago, but besides that I have no idea
tropic zodiac
I just inherited it from my grandfather
tropic zodiac
Do I need to take the tires off to do that? I don't have the tool to do it
fathom socket
no you dont need to
tropic zodiac
The wheels have locks
tropic zodiac
Itll be checked tomorrow, it's currently 30 minutes until midnight for me, so it's a bit dark
tropic zodiac
Yeah
fathom socket
it will be one of three things
lack of pressure on the master cylinder caused by a lack of fluids
Pad wear
or rotor wear
tropic zodiac
When I'm using the brakes after backing out of my driveway, it doesn't screech? But it makes a loud whine.
fathom socket
all of which should be fairly affordable to fix
tropic zodiac
Only in reverse though, I've only heard it while backing up. Also only after my car has cooled down over night
tropic zodiac
Oh okay thought that might of been bad
fathom socket
yeah brakes squel
but its only when cold or when braking hard
our track cars brakes are at about 276c coming out of a corner
if we come in at 150c
because we brake so hard
we have to switch brakes for every race
tropic zodiac
Daaaang
tropic zodiac
It'll be pretty nice though going from an Avenger to a Camaro if even just for a day.
Yeah, still though that's hot, didn't realize brakes could do that
fathom socket
your license let you drive a camaro?
tropic zodiac
Yeah? I'm on the car policy too
fathom socket
or is there no regulation on hp/t over there
tropic zodiac
I guess no regulation. Texas, we only have separate licenses for motorcycles and commercial vehicles like buses or 18 wheelers
Aside from the standard license
fathom socket
yeah i gather your on a provisional license?
tropic zodiac
Provisional as in like a learner's permit? Sorry I'm a bit exhausted
Oh wait no I looked it up. I have the standard one since im 19
So you do professional racing? That's pretty cool, must be fun
fathom socket
its pretty fun
tropic zodiac
What's it like?
wary sinew
Damn menawhile i'm waiting for my brake pads to be delivered
and i need to change them like right now
drifting spade
Got the TPMS replaced on my Folks car at the other day at costco.
Cost a few hundred, and drove it around, but the indicator remained on. Talked to the shop guy, and he said "it should go away, once it pairs"
took him at his word, and drove it arounf for 3 days
Still remained lit, so I bought it back to the costco to have it inspected.
Turns out they paired fine, the Costco guys just didn't inflate the tires properly -.-
fathom socket
tpms is the sensor thingy in the tire right???
drifting spade
Yep
Tire pressure monitoring system
Just found it funny that they blamed the car and the sensors, before they checked the pressure
Which is the whole point of the sensor system
fathom socket
gotcha, started working in a auto garage few months ago
drifting spade
Cool. Must be tough, im guessing the margins are tight?
Yeah, the system determines which of the recievers belongs to the car by driving, the sensors only activate when the wheels are rorating over 15 mph over an extended period of time
merry shadow
Lol... can you dudes even drive something like that... you need to be really fit to withstand those kind of speeds and g forces.
Cuz you cant really drive it slow... the tires wont get to the proper temp and it will be uncontrollable
Still as a trophy car... i guess its pretty cool
fathom socket
i race professionally
so it would be a little bit more training and i can handle the g's
we are running 800BHP BAC Mono's

fathom socket
STRIP IT
tear its insides out
rip the backseats out
It's a pet peeve of mine that some non-car guys just mention v8's, like cmon, V8's are cool and all but just look at what V6's (I think either 1.0 or 1.4 can't remember exactly) have done to f1. Almost 50% fuel efficiency. Some cars reaching near to 1000bhp, sorry this is off-topic but I really had to say it , spread my opinion ;)
rip out all the carpets and linings
should save you a good amount of weight
will bring down L/100km
since the engine will be moving less weight
it will also decrease your 0-60
you dont need rear seats right?
Btw if were talking about our cars, I have a Citroen C5, diesel. Back in the day it was good for 110bhp. I use it as a daily driver. It's comfy, it's quite economical. I don't have to fill it up as much it being a diesel. Dk why I told you all this

we extended it back to allow for the engine size increase

yeah you cant strip a mono
and considering we went from a 2.5L 4 cylinder naturally aspirated to a 4.2L V10 with twin turbos we did put some weight on
vital glen
carbon fiber everything?

hello guys!
final turtle
i dont have a drivers license yet but i will drive a volvo s70 when i get drivers license
candid rune
@dire fiber for me it has an emotional connection becasue that's been my godfather's car for as long as i've remembered. the car its an 80's econobox. It has qualities of any typical old car and it runs well and looks good when most don't. if there was any car i would want to learn how to maintain and modify, it would be that one. I actually thought i was gonna get it for my birthday, but i don't think he got a replacement yet, or hes scrapping it. I wanted to find a gli for a parts car so i could get trim pieces and the rear brake kit so i could get discs in the back
Honestly, i don't think id be able to insure it, its a 1992 and I'm 18 years old in ontario canada. Insurance on a 2017 RDX as secondary is $350 a month and i don't wanna get eaten alive as a primary driver for a car that may or may not run

is that a hand-me down or are you going to make it a sleeper @final turtle

the reason my insurance is so high is because I live in the toronto area

candid rune
my dad switches cars too much to justify finacing another car
Realistically, if i saved up my own money for a car i want a fiesta or a fit
the fit is the jazz in england
i've heard of people making supercharger kits for the fit (jazz) and they make 180hp crank with a cold air intake but stock everything else, including clutch
so i could basically have a fiesta st for 8-9 grand less than actually having a fiesta st
actually, maybe like 6 grand less because you'd need swaybars and coilovers, tires etc to keep up with a fiesta st
vital glen
Yeha irsurance sucks
@dire fiber though my hehicle is registered as a classic car

I pay lower isurance
so like 100 dollars a motnh

well the jetta is 26 years old, idk if i could get it insured as a classic vehicle
25 qualifies it as classic in canada im pretty sure

carmine summit
So I did some research
for me, a 16 (but not for a month) year old male to insure a base 1990 Jetta it would cost about $450 CAD a month. Not bad.
And apparently it's the same amount for a MK4 Jetta TDI. Good to know.
fathom socket
Thatโs a lot for insurance
Like fuck
My rx7 cost that much a year
Then again I claimed my car was stock
Which btw was a massive fucking lie
Had I said it was, well I would be looking at 7500$ AUD a year
Just for insurance

biggest problem with teslas is they are just a tech fest nothing more imo
they dont require skill to drive
put a tesla driver in my track car
they will kill themselves first corner
either that or be so timid they wont get heat in the tires
or heat in the brakes
or get any downforce

heady ridge
if its fixable get it fixed if not find one thats reconditioned by someone that knows what they are doing since if you get a second hand one out of a car thats being dismantled theres gonna be no knowlage of whats been done
heady ridge
get a good reconditioned one since they will always come with new stuff and fresh oil infact alot of gearbox's fail cause no one takes care of the oil change's
wary sinew
It cost like almost 1k to get the transfer case replaced
And the car is worth like 2k-2.5k
heady ridge
be worth more with a working transfer case but if your told its gotta be the gear box and transfer get a new mechanic
wary sinew
And transfer is already replace
Because it was giving problems
And then we discover that soon it will need a new trans

heady ridge
all you need for that job
if you watch the vid i showed last night he shows everything
heady ridge
yes
they are one of the most important tools you can buy
trust me having your tire come off cause it aint tight is fucking scary
heady ridge
also dont cheap it since it will need to be kept in its case to help keep the calibration
heady ridge
i guess so? im aussie so i dont have those brands
wary sinew
It's like a top tier brand

@wary sinew do you have brembo calipers?
coral linden
I wouldnt use vice grips on calipers, there's a risk of tearing the boot
clamps work.
for the rear if you have the kind you need to turn in you cant press them in, you need a tool
coral linden
hes changing pads?

@vital glen You will see em when my friend wants to release the results

And what is so wierd about a Honda Accord making more than any car you own?
