this is din 1
this is din 2
it just double height and usually has better screen or sometimes even an android operating system but those ary usually the chinese cheap crap one or very expensive mediocre ones :D
i would suggest you get something like this
it replaces the panel with standard 2din whole in wich you can either put a din 2 radio or a din 1 radio and extra storage like this
easiest way of getting these is most likely look up the nearest decent car audio shop and have them pick out the adapter panel and the adapter cables that connect the standard radio connections (iso) to your cars connection, i dont know if your car has iso from factory but most wont and require a adapter.
mine is setup like this.
i have an oem din 2 panel from volvo and an oem din 1 cubby from volvo too, then i have connects2 adapter that adapts the factory loom to suit iso wich plugs into the radio end loom.
then i just have a basic Pioneer MVH-390BT din 1 radio with bluetooth that i play spotify with trought my phone.
http://www.connects2.co.uk/Product/ProductItem/CTKVX11 connects2 actually makes a whole kit for it
Connects2 offer a range of Car Audio Systems, Car Stereos, CD MP3 Head Unit, DAB Radio, Car Radio DAB, AV Multimedia Car CD DVD Stereo, Sony Car Audio Player, iPhone iPod Stereos, DVD Screens, stalk adapters, integrated MP3 adapters , integrated iPod adapters, integrated car...
this is perfect and just what i was looking for. i was originally looking as 2 DIN stereos that have android auto so to get this to work i would need an adapter for my car that converts it to a 2 din then grab an adapter for my steering wheel controls and i'm sorted ?
it depends
some cars need an extra adapter and extra work to make the wheel controls work, like my volvo so i didnt bother spendind 170€ extra just so i dont have to move my arm 15cm :D
fair enough. i will take a look around at some stereos now i have a better understanding.
have you used android auto before ? i have heard it is good but the stereos and looking to be around £300
i was looking at the Sony XAV-AX100
that kit seems to have the adapter for the wheel but it can get expensive, as it can take some wiring work wich i would recommend taking it to someone who knows what they are doing :D atleast i wouldnt touch it as i hate car electrics :D
i only use bluetooth
might weight my pros and cons up. £300 is a lot considering my how old my car is
might be better off with something like you have
but the best bet is going to a audio shop, preferably a one that carries connects2 stuff and have them pick the stuff, if you dont care about wheel controls it is most likely a very simple job.
and as i dont know about you cars wheel controls it could just be a plug in job
but most arent.
and usually it doubles the price:D
yeah i will take it to someone local. was hoping i could do it my self and i would love to learn it all but would rather not fuck anything up on my first car lol
go to the audio shop first and they will most likely know how involved the job with the wheel controls are :D
if it is simple as pluggin in some connections you can do it yourself, youtube is full of instructions :D
thanks for all the help man i really appreciate it.
all i have had to listen to is the radio and a CD that was in the car when i bought it with half the tracks skipping and i'm pretty sure they are singing in german lol
np :)
what car do you have ?
2002 volvo s60
decent enough looking for a 16 year old car :D
currently unemployed and going to school this month so cant do much to it but im planning on facelifting it and painting the plastic trim body colour
like this
freshens it up quite nicely
that looks amazing for 2002
i was surprised with the condition of my car. it is a category D so it has been in accident and put back on the road so there is a few cosmetic flaws but other than that it is perfect
got it for around £800
i was bit bored and i wanted to know how my car sounds from the outside after a little mod :D :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYqfRE12Bvg
rear muffler deleted, saves about 0.5-1L/100km of fuel as the stock muffler is so restrictive.
btw, does anyone know a good editing app for mobile that supports 1080p60fps? this adobe one makes the 60fps footage choppy and even more grainy than it already is as it doesnt support 60fps.
imovie
^
you better resto mod that shit
I wonder why
^
because classic car prices can be insane, especially iconic ones
especially outside of the states because import taxes of the car and / or all the resto parts
@fathom socket sorry I forgot to add ./s
I picked this one up for 1200$ :)
I got it off of a guy named bart, it was his fathers car till he passed away, so it went to his son and he kept it with the intent to get her driving again, he took it nearly all apart, and never found the time or money to put it back together (he also had another 73 challenger so that didnt help) Eventually he put it up for sale and i got my hands on it, she is still all tore apart but i have the skill and motivation to get her burning some rubber when her time comes.
All he asked was that it went to a home where it would be driven again and not parted out.
I know where a field of 60's and 70's mustangs and chargers are.... God that is a sight to see,... never saw so many chargers in my life
What are some good performance modifications I can do to increase the power of my vehicle other than a cold air intake
cold air intake got some downsides
it's a pretty minor performance increase for more dust to be sucked inside the intake
bit of a gimmick tbh, just sounds good
you can re-program the car, but it's gonna be expensive. which car is it?
2015 Toyota Rav4 LE 2.5L
yeah you can take it to a tuning shop to program the brain of it
so if a cold air intake wont work what other mods are there available for me to increase the HP
you could prolly get up to a decent 50 HP that way but, expect $500
you can get a pedal response box
it won't increase your power but it'll give you better throttle response
damn
I'm also due for new rotors what are the differences between performance (slotted/drilled/vented) rotors vs Normal Rotors?
do you need them though? your car should have decent brakes
@fathom socket Performance brakes mainly help with cooling off the rotors faster. But it's also there to remove the brake dust that builds up from the pads.
if your brakes are old and rusty, you can replace them. if not, i'd just recommend keeping them as-is
since it's a relatively new decent SUV, brakes should be good
Depending on how the manufacturer designed the brakes. There might be a noticable lip on the brake rotors as they wear down over time. That can be a good indication of when it's getting time to change the rotors.
Else you will have to measure the thickness of the rotor to make sure that it's within spec.
you can understand from noise.. yeah
Well. Worn rotors doesn't always make any special noise.
And I think he mentioned that they were rusted some time back? If it's just surface rust, then you can easily just get rid of it by doing some hard braking from speed.
It's fine to do it if it's just surface rust. Like, if the car has been standing for a week or two.
it's not something i'd suggest
to do on a public road.
it might be surface rust
the car was not being used for about 8 months
and it rains every day here in alaska
Happened with one of the cars we had for work. We hadn't used it for a while, and if you used the brakes lightly, then you could feel that there was some buildup on them. Drove off to a place where I could get up to make 80 kmh, and then I just braked hard.
Brakes felt normal after two stops.
wait, was it left under rain all the time?
well if you have a place like that then it's ok
like the middle of nowhere, just don't do it on a road with cars around you. obviously
Before you do it, just take a quick look to make sure that you have decent amount of material on both the pads and the rotors.
yeah we dont have a garage for it so when it snows heavy here its just left in the drive way that and it wasn't being used for 8 months
i had to brake off all the rust build up
it breaks fine now but whenever i look at the rotors they look super rusty
well..
dress up the car, at least don't leave it out in the open like that
You might be able to get away with just removing the rotors and give them a good cleanup.
nice as for performance parts its not really worth upgrading a rav4
should i wait until i get my 2nd car for upgrades
thinking about 2019 Subaru WRX STI
should i wait until i get my 2nd car for upgrades
Another thing to look for on the rotors is scoring. There shouldn't be any weird scoring marks left on the rotors.
i did see some rings on the rotors
like the rotors are rusty then i see some like rings like something scrapped off the rust
The surface should wear fairly evenly on the rotors.
This is a rotor that is pretty badly scored.
You can see the grooves going round the rotor.
Oh, and since you were asking for performance upgrades as well. I wouldn't bother really.
The best "upgrades" you can make is probably preventative maintenance.
hmmm i'll take a picture of my rotors when i have time
my rotors look exactly like this
Fresh bushings on an older car will do wonders for the handling.
If that's the case. Then you could probably get away with just cleaning it up.
But you can also see a little bit of scoring on that rotor there. So it can be something to be wary of.
If there is enough meat left on the rotors, then I know that you can take them somewhere to have them turned on a lathe.
So that they are nice and smooth again.
Anyways. I'm off to bed now.
thanks bud
@late carbon have done 182 kph with mine
was aiming for 200 but a car was in front ahead
mine can go up to 250, governor limitation
otherwise it can do 280'ish
I love the supercharger whine
same )
it gives me a different feel when I drive, vs my 4 runner.
infiniti's are nic e
yup
😛
i'm 26
ayyy
so being 18 and having a mini-race car
is pretty nice
and how 2 lose your license 101
oh a guy pushed me to the street light on the left today
with a fucking shit ass van
what a fucker
damn
i braked and recovered though
I hate people sometimes bruh
yeah people can drive like shit
exactly
often times when they have crap cars, that envy
Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Twin Engine Turbo vs Nissan GTR Stock engine +Stock Turbos
this is interesting
🤔
Yeah, mine is an 08 Grand Prix GTP
i mean on this video 🙂
yeah
close call
GTR is a very nice car but very expensive
you should see this, sick car but downhill drag strip. kek
This is a 1984 thunderbird and it has a turbo!!!!!!! It is bad news.
yeah they draggers loud
did you dyno it?
yeah, thought so
good stuff
cause again, it's supercharged and everything is perfect on it.
nice
I mean my father is an auto machinic
so I bought it off him
so
so everything is pretty much spotless, I remember him telling me a couple months ago that he cleaned the entire car top to bottom cause he was bored at work one day for hours.
so
there's that, if that gives you any detail on how well the car stands.
mine needs a bit of cleaning as well the brakes are kinda rusty even though it's being used regularly
and the cat pipe etc are rusty as well
thing is still good though mostly
2011 103.5k kms
how many hp is yours
211 quattro petrol
i have a chip + throttle response box for it but i don't use them
and in michigan a florida owned car is great
0 rust on it too
the pin stripes are starting to show age, but those are getting removed soon.
well yeah if your dad looked after it like that, it's prolly shiny chromey
i like my rims, they're the prestige package ones
but it hasn't been driven in 2 years and sat in the garage both summers cause originally it was his 'summer' car
so I threw him an offer of 9k and he took it
hehe
😃
free labor and family love
he doesn't approve of my horrendous spending habits tho
which is most likely why he sold it to me, cause he hates me being young with money after the amount of shit i buy
em toys
@late carbon condense messages.
you're a little late on that @lime copper
For future reference.
okay
Porsches are just Power Beetles.
This is the second time I've seen someone told to condense messages. What's the reason?
because long paragraph = the devil as stated by the rules
So should I just reply to that with a "k" then? 🤔
I guess people can also check out the car thread on the forum. But I'm not active there.
At least not anymore.
car forums are useful
until the one guy starts talking about putting a turbo and a wing on their prius
and then proceeds to send picutres
@civic spoke @vital glen @agile sonnet it's more about sporadic spam posting because people can't finish a single thought in a single message, so they spampost more than two posts when they should have posted the thought in a single message.
It's literally this situation, it's an eyesore: https://dooleylabs.com/?q=q2x6ys.png
ok, mr. i want a real irc client but I use discord
I never used IRC, but I hate bloat.
I'd like as many messages as possible to fit on the screen as possible while still maintaining a nice UI. I also don't like ugly-ass profile pics that I cannot moderate.
Ahhh. Since I have the standard ui, it just groups them together without all the extra stuff. Makes sense! Thank you for showing that.
Can I use car wax to smooth out scratches on my phone lol

@daring raptor no, windshield repair kits
Anyone else here work in the automotive industry?
well, i don't but what was the reasoning in asking?
Honestly just curious, gotta network somehow
why? if you want to learn something, just ask the people around here
I meant networking with others in the industry
488 pista vs 720s in a track race, who do you think would win
yawn shit expensive ICE cars.. look up on NIO
I'd go for the 720s
i'd go with my car. i don't like uncomfortable tight interior supercars 🙂
Have to explain to my insurance company why my new car burnt to the ground...
is this a good deal
and is the sincerity system package is that scam thing or is it a real thing
Welp
life is too short to drive boring cars.
you can EASILY have a good condition Q50 hybrid around $30k
This is new
it's still a prius..
INFINITI USA Official Site | Explore the 2018 INFINITI QX30, featuring a 2.0L Turbocharged engine, and more.
that would be TOTAL MSRP
$30,945
@fathom socket that's just some crappy Nissan and it is a crossover
Crossovers are pretty bad
not all of them, no.
Unless it says Jeep Wrangler, all of them
lol bullshit.. GLA 45 is great
No
A) a lot of plastic
B) crossover
C) unreliable
it being a crossover doesn't mean it's shit, you made the third fact up and the plastic is arguable
there are lots of good cars out there that have a lot of plastic in them.
so what? it's still reliable
No, they crack
it's not like the engine bay is made using plastic, the plastic covers it
lol cracking plastic on a GLA 45 AMG.. yeah.
maybe one or two parts that are heated, thing is new.
@fathom socket because it is new, they can use plastic fuel rails?
another made up fact from mr. awesum.
my A4 quattro uses just as much plastic, even some aluminum sheet on the sides of the engine bay and that has been one of the LEAST of my concerns regarding reliability of the car.
Unibody SUV's are trash compared to body on frame
If engine swapping in Belgium was only legal.. Ahh that car would be on my list to get
you can't just claim X or Y car is trash without understanding the basics of how it works and what it is regarding performance, comfort and so on
the GLA 45 spoken here has a solid mercedes engine along with %100 torque split AWD, like 350-400 HP and a great interior. if you want an SUV, it IS one of THE SUVs
regarding that, the infiniti i suggested him is similar to that SUV and therefore it is actually a decent SUV. for the money, far better than a lot of cars ESPECIALLY a prius or even anything that says toyota on it unless lexus.. last but not the least older wrangler interiors were a joke, like no infotainment screen even. they then put in cheap navi + DVD pioneer'ish units which have not been a comparison to things like audi's MMI. only new wranglers got proper interior and they cost
@foggy mist wait
engine swaps are illegal?
those are some great laws
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z7qwxSX9Vk
this shit would be impossible in belgium
lmao
https://www.hoonigan.com/ On today's episode of Daily Transmission, Scott Birdsall brings Old Smokey F1 bye to kill some tires. 1200HP is enough to lay waste...
illuminatists doing a dumb car show.. oh great.
i won't bother explaining you that on this place since you can't seem to be understanding the shit behind what you watch on TV.
anyway, i wouldn't bother engine swapping that toyota. it's such a small and lightweight car, and is not really a beast car. it you're thinking to put in a bigger block into it, it will go out of control rather easily.
Yeah Belgium is like the one of the few that has that illegal
I want a kp61 with a 4age :(
"Power output 125 kW (170 HP) at 6,400 rpm" beyond that will depend on modding
sure, it's a quiet a bit of power for a tiny car but meh
also it needs high RPMs to deliver that power, it's not worth speaking about around 4k RPM likely.
old car / engine tidbits for you..
@fathom socket What is the illuminatists?
back to the school seat it is 🤔
i need some bigger wheels bad.
16" is just too small.
k
there was just one problem when i sat in that car and it was the spacing between the driver seat door and my left leg, i could barely move my left leg to the side.. pretty much a school seat car for me. otherwise, solid 2000's car. especially the R-version..
im pretty big and dont have any issues, the older rwd ones have less room.
hmm
you sure it was a s60?
or not something like a s40
s40 barely has any room
and it isnt at the same quality level as these
yeah, S60. we went to check one out. it was a 2010 or 09, that chassis and T5
they made the mk1 from 2000 to 2009 (oof)
in 2004 it got a facelift
mine is 2002
i have been thinking of selling this but then again i could play the end user part and just save up for mk2 s80 v8
i want that v8 model so bad
heh
it's not even that bad on gas, something like 9-13L/100km less than R models or even the T6 and T5.
the v8 s80 i mean
this current s60 is a D5 so basicly it's running on fumes lol :D if i drive nicely it will be below 4L/100km
@fathom socket the V10 in that car is nice indeed
@fathom socket but the problem is maintenance
yeah
and the problems they have
V10..
compression
but that noise
is so nice
i'd love it as well but with AWD 😛
like audi S6
ye
awd convert
lol
that's gonna be ass.. would rather buy AWD from the ground up..
ye
yyour right
if i was buying a beemer rn it would prolly be a 428 x-drive cabrio 🙂

AWD conversion would be a waste of money and time lol
go to 15 seconds on this video
@fathom socket
the noise is 👌
driving like crazy on the right line.. yeh
and then that.
lol
it's germany though
ye
so no speed limit
if someone did that here in the us
they getting locked up
lol
my max aim was 200 kph with our A4, i couldn't and braked, that was about it.. i wouldn't have gone for more likely.
it's a quattro btw
ooh nice
our 528i is msport
we've hit 120mph on the highway before
nice, ours is the premium package as well
yeah that was about it, i saw something like 182 kph on the speedometer before braking
you were so close
yeah but meh, it's not like hitting 200 gets you a gold medal on a 5 lane highway that is mostly empty..
lol
but its fun
Who got de keys to ma bimma
lol
I've had a bit of fun on my street
and this is a residential street
JD..
25 mph speed limit
umm
i might of went 60mph with a launch
JD...
JD, JD and jdogs
lol
i thought you gave up on it
huh
not you..
oh
John Doe co-founded Southern California's proudest entry in the world of punk - the band X. He continues to shine in his solo career, where he leans towards ...
i like him though.
He's cool
These are the calais @fathom socket
crap lol
Lol
i'll give you a GOOD holden
that in a 06 commodore
No
yes.
No
it's about as good as it'll get..
That platform will not handle it
it actually does kind of
Only zeta will support it
look up on lumina SS 06
yes but i have seen one with that engine
and it didn't look like anything was swapped, but IDK
might have been a swap
or custom make out of holden factory
yeah i can show you ANY car ending up like that
LS9 was never in a commodore until the 2017 HSV Commodore GTSR
if you don't know wtf you're doing
Officially
i'm talking about lumina SS here.. not commodore, not aussie market
It was a AU spec omega
It was the same trim we got
Except we had 300 other trim options and body styles
point is, you can handle the power of LS9 in it.. sure, it CAN go out of control but you can handle it
Yeah but the platform needs a good amount of work to handle it
Lol
what lol?
You won't get that here
do i look like i don't know it?
Okay calm ye farm
i just want my cars to be AWD that's all
AWD isn't all amazing
yes it is
Top end isn't as great as a rwd
maybe not for you, and depends
Launch and acceleration and handling would be better but top speed would be beaten out by rwd
I prefer awd too
that's the crazy you.
Lmao if no one is watching
i care about my life thanks
Lmao there ain't no danger on an empty highway
yes there still is with a shit RWD car
it will jiggle all over the road left to right
1999 Nissan R34 25GT
not a good idea
no, you're too young to understand that going 300 kph on a road open to public is dangerous, that's it
Im stuck with an N/A RB25 neo
Too young? You haven't even known me for 1 hour and your already assuming my age
it actually doesn't matter whether you're on an airplane road even
you need some racing car
And its all banter mate
it's obvious
Take some shit stirring
you're probably around 20 if not younger lmao
go kill yourself with that old car at 300 kph
you're missing the point
that's good for you, you're not putting lives in such danger 🙂
Nice to see lives in danger in the middle of nowhere with no one in sight for miles
it's still ONE life in danger but if you're going to keep on being foolish then wtf should i care right?
yup..
Typical yanks can't tell a shit take from reality
no, only fools like you love watching those 1320videos and then thinking it's safe to go at 300 kph using a 98 RWD nissan
bad job at guessing where i am from, secondly
300kph
n/a 2.5L Inline 6 rwd
Yeah nah
Also I never claimed to be safe
Thats just your assumption
you pretty much are saying it is

2Sexy is getting a new engine.

yeeeee!
i actually want to see more of the old Z in action
that high end boost looked insane
I actually don't like high boost engines. They are way too peaky at the top range, and you are only in the boost for a short period.
For drivability, they're not ideal. Basically it's just for fun because there is so much power all of a sudden
a 4g 69
Who says 72lbs of boost is not fun for driving
He said it's just for fun, not great for driveability.

The Lancia Delta Integrale HF. Nice choice @wooden raft
evo 2 😃 i would want nothing more
@gusty carbon that's some real German engineering
italian!!!!!!!!!!!
ohh the vw xD sozz
OHhhh have you guys heard of the new development of "flow" battrys
instant charging and can output both electric and hydrogen power
electric cars are litrally going to be, top up and go like petrol/diesel very soon
@wooden raft the stress that battery will be in oml
they recon they can handle extreme discharge and charging
hence the huge investments in development now
I want to see the recorded testings of this tech
the new nano liquid holds the charge, so by replacing the liquid in the battry you replace the charge
I do love buzz words
? nothing to do with buzz words...... its real.
Oh no "nano-tech" is a real thing but also a buzz word
Like cloud and other things like that
shall we call it very small tech instead?
No
Just saying it is what it is
so calling it what it is, is buzz words? nice, reallllll nice
😃
so everything is a buzz word in that definition
No, a word or phrase, often an item of jargon, that is fashionable at a particular time or in a particular context.
but you miss the point in the advancements of battery technology, if they crack this and make it safe (IE dosnt explode into flames like lithium) its 100% the future
Did I ever said it wasn't, I am pretty sure I said it is
never mind.
hardly fashionable, it anything below a certian size has always been called nano.
and its not jargon either, its fact
Jargon: special words or expressions that are used by a particular profession or group and are difficult for others to understand.
@wooden raft What I am cherry picking?
archaic
a form of language regarded as barbarous, debased, or hybrid.
very old or old-fashioned.
all ive done is mention a new advancement and your picking at it..... that would be jargon.
you should be excited.
It is some very cool tech
No-doubt
and don't tell me what I should and should not do
lmao, talk about taking a word at face value
have a nice day.
picking a fight for no reason
We were fighting?
well im not here to argue either.
and this is hardly a debate or any other form of constructive convosation
This should be your dream car
xD anything with doors that open that way should fly 😃
If i will have one i will do a lhd swap


@vital glen no a pink adventador s
No
I meant a Pink Adventador S
A pink Sesto elemento
No a Pink Asterion
No a pink Gallardo
Pink Countach
@vital glen Gallardo Spyder
lol
Why only the e30?
Not really a fan, I don't like the sound or looks
Wow wai
idk, I'm more drawn to japanese cars I guess. But I've also been a fan of rally, so there's some euro cars I like. Just not really BMWs
Not really. More like Rx7 and WRX/Impreza
3rd gen supra?
yea
The Mitsubishi Lancer is cool too
yup
I will kill you if u say gt
Evo is the rally model
VI
The ols rallies like 7?
7 is cool too
Woah never seen someone like the 6
the new ones are an awkward mix between modern and old
around where I live?
Anywhere in your life
Mostly just Miatas
yea
I looove the popups on that heap of junk
There's some guy around here who has an '04 WRX I think
Not baaaaaad
I like pop-ups. But I hate the miata
its sooooo generic. and all but the mk1 and most recent look terrible
No, just the looks are bad. my friend has an '05 miata and I give him so much flak for it
Wooow and what do u drive?
My car was free
It was free, gets good mpg. I'm going to get a gen2 MR2 or a gen2 Supra
or maybe an FB RX7
Mr2 best
the Prius was my dad's old car
Yea. There was a guy on craigslits selling 2 MR2s plus parts for 5400
but I don't have room
Woahhh
😦
How old r u?
19
Woah u an adult almost
I could afford it, but there's nowhere to park a second car, let alone 2 more
way across town
nope
I could park at the AFB hobby shop, but thats really damn far to go drive a fun car
Well isnt the point of driving to be long and fun?
I would have to drive 30 min to get to the car
Man i get pumped when i drive my dads mk4 golf tdi lol
Not a fan of the golf. its got an awkward look to it
I like it
Mostly because ive lived with it
You know the feeling when, the car has almost broken down
But the car keeps pushing on
And you get to the destination
Now the MK1 VW Rabbit, thats a car I can get behind
And your like "you beautiful thing youuuuu"
I was going to drive it when we were on vacation. But the waterpump was leaking and we fixed it, but the battery was dead
so I didn't get the chance
I got ride in it before I got my license a few years ago
Its probably sounds like a beach buggy
It actually doesn't. Its a I4, but it doesn't sound that bad. Much better than a civic
Its the kinda grumbly that I like. and no fart noises
Lol yeahhhh
You play Assetto Corsa or Forza?
rip
I was croozin with my tt
In the night
With the lights
Omg just fuck man i miss that
I havent sat down and played a game for 6months
that sucks
Because im waiting for my parents to get out of credit and buy me a really good gaming machine
Man even if i played it on 720p los
*low
It was so fucking nice
And the sounds
Omgg
Asseto was really cool too lol
I got a wheel setup a few weeks ago, its lit
let me check
I wanna get a g25/7 they are good and cheap
My setup was $500 ish
yea
E brake?
no
Holy shit
and the fanatec one is $270
Not that I can see
Thats where I look
How much are you willin to pay?
at most $100
Acceptable
but I don't really need one for a while
You dont go skidding?
I suck at drifting, and my wheel isn't good for it either
I have the F1 wheel.
probably why I suck tbh
Ow you think u good?
I'm decent at regular grip driving
I was really good at drifting when my laptop was workin
on controller?
Nope keyboard
I suck at controller in assetto
That shit hard asfuck
DAMN
Yeah XD
Keyboard is for like trackmania, not Assetto
Xddd
Man that was what i had in the time
And thats what i used lol
Its reeeeally hard
Like if you loose your feel
Your gone
I used to play controller. But I only played practice cause its hard to even race AI
I'm amazing at Forza with controller. But I can't get my wheel to work with it
There's this software I had to download to even get it to partially work
but there's no ffb
Ffb?
Force Feedback
A yeah
the resistance in the wheel
Ik ik
You turn the wheel left
In drifting
It wants to go right
I get what u mean but your totaly right
I understand how to drift, but I either get to much angle and lose it or I don't get enough angle
Have you tried it irl?
I need to get the thrustmaster regular wheel if I want to drift.
In a fuckin' prius? are you srs m8?
no,
Drift DAT 60HP
Oh man the clutch really sucks on old mazdas
Like its very stiff and springy
Yeah
you have to rev really high if you don't know what you're doing
otherwise you stall
its probably better than the miata
Well yeah
But because its so used
You have to go so so so far for it to stick
And because im 180cms dat shit dont help
You should try my uncle's jeep, you can't go all the way or the trans doesn't shift
And thats considering the trans hates to go into any gear but 2
Like goin from a stop you have to go into second, and THEN the gear you want
samurai... gross
I'd rather drive a jeep, and thats saying something, I hate jeeps sooooooooooooooooooooo much
XD
EVERY jeep driver is retarted
The samurai sounds like a viper when the exhaust has a hole in it lol
Dude
You dont know what is bad driving
Me and my dad are chilli
Chilling
Driving over i mean under the speed limit
And we go next to this golf mk3
And this bitch almost hit us
Same with some dude in his Peugeot 208
I remember someone cut us off at a fucking highway
It was dark and I'm getting on the on ramp. I get up to 66 and set the cruise. Then I look over my left to see if I'm good, and I'm good. Then all of a sudden there's a jeep wrangler 2 inches from my door.
like WTF bro. you have 2 EMPTY lanes to be in
People hate me for driving slow too lol
I'll be goin' 50 on a 2 lane and I'll get passed by like 8 SUVs
How much is the maxM
?
How many lanes?
Aha so a one lane for one side type of thing
Pretty typical US country road
Ama be honest
we call them 2 lane highways
at least 60 usually. especially at 6 am when they're late for work
afternoons when there's more traffic people tend to go 55 or 50. I usually go 52 on that road all the time, because fuel economy
and then there's the ass going 25
yes
If ur the ass
Going 25
Ur an ass
Thats why i asked how much is everyone going
I go 52, I always go at least the speed limit
I get 49.8 mpg boi
WOAH
And I've got an '09 which is rated for 38
I dont understand mph lol
kmh is honestly stupid. like feet and inches are stupid, but mph is better
mph makes more sense. You say 100kmh and I'm like bruh thats fast, then I realize its only 60 mph
yes
meters are better. but mph makes more sense
How does it make more sense?
Idk. I went to Canada this summer and the speed limit on the interstate was 100kmh. Which is slower than most US highways.
Thats 60mph
Same here in europe
80 is extremely rare
wtf is that in mph
I think 100mph
jesus
thats sketchy
Well yeah
You havent seen the greece people
They drove like 180 on their new highway
greeks are mad
I have a friend who lives in Germany right now
Woah
at Ramstein
Does he own ultimate driving machine?
I don't think so. He's still getting his german license
