batteries/motor especially

odd talon Jan 18, 2019, 1:22 PM

#

plus if you can retrofit the epas system you can get the car to steer by itself

fathom socket Jan 18, 2019, 1:22 PM

#

really though, i think the smoothest ride possible would be a electric motor paired with a mid 70s gm powerglide

odd talon Jan 18, 2019, 1:22 PM

#

making it a good daily

#

no way

#

i wouldn't want a powerglide

fathom socket Jan 18, 2019, 1:22 PM

theyre smooth man

odd talon Jan 18, 2019, 1:22 PM

oh i know

fathom socket Jan 18, 2019, 1:22 PM

#

its one thing gm did right

odd talon Jan 18, 2019, 1:22 PM

#

but why do you need any gear ratios

#

tesla uses a 1 speed box, no?

fathom socket Jan 18, 2019, 1:23 PM

#

having a transmission in place makes it easier build wise in a conversion

#

and for simplicity

#

re: the build itself

odd talon Jan 18, 2019, 1:23 PM

#

yeah, i can see that esp for a rear drive application

fathom socket Jan 18, 2019, 1:24 PM

#

yeah definitley

#

like making an ev that way is just a matter of engine out, hooking up electrics, wiring, ect, off you go

odd talon Jan 18, 2019, 1:24 PM

#

but yeah i'd love a old T2 van

fathom socket Jan 18, 2019, 1:24 PM

oh hell yeah

odd talon Jan 18, 2019, 1:25 PM

#

but with the brakes of a modern porsche, and chevy bolt drivetrain

fathom socket Jan 18, 2019, 1:25 PM

and since theres always more teslas being crashed there wont ever be a short supply of drivetrains

odd talon Jan 18, 2019, 1:25 PM

i'd be okay with the bolt or tesla drivetrain

i am unhappy with the leaf's battery thermals

fathom socket Jan 18, 2019, 1:25 PM

either is good

odd talon Jan 18, 2019, 1:25 PM

#

the battery degradation on the leaf is too high

fathom socket Jan 18, 2019, 1:25 PM

#

id resign the leaf for just making it a in town go kart so to speak

odd talon Jan 18, 2019, 1:25 PM

in scrapyard wars he has an acura, but i think he has an x now

fathom socket Jan 18, 2019, 1:26 PM

#

really tho re: batteries till they stop using li-ion and change to something with a longer life we just gotta deal with this nonesense

#

and the weight

#

good lord

#

i mean li-ion is better than nicad but

#

progress can be made

i mean its very clear hydrogen is making headway

fathom socket Jan 18, 2019, 1:28 PM

#

if the infastructure is funded and accepted i could see it

odd talon Jan 18, 2019, 1:28 PM

#

i think it will be created by Shell and the like

fathom socket Jan 18, 2019, 1:28 PM

#

i had a 82 240 turbo wagon that had a partial hydrogen system in it but that was to aid combustion

#

oh definitley

#

since theyre already doin that

odd talon Jan 18, 2019, 1:28 PM

#

the problem is that if gas stations don't exist

#

long distance travel is severely hindered

#

i want hydrogen or eco-battery powered cars driving autonomously

#

vs lots of plane trips

fathom socket Jan 18, 2019, 1:29 PM

i can see it, but personally im all for the driving part

odd talon Jan 18, 2019, 1:29 PM

#

i love driving

#

but i hate dumb commutes

#

if you've lived in NYC, Seattle, or SF

fathom socket Jan 18, 2019, 1:30 PM

#

i might be the weirdo then

odd talon Jan 18, 2019, 1:30 PM

#

in 1 hour, i drove less than a mile

fathom socket Jan 18, 2019, 1:31 PM

#

sounds rough

#

i was in seattle some time ago and i never had it that bad, but that was like, near the space needle

#

im from pdx so i dont know seattle at all really

odd talon Jan 18, 2019, 1:31 PM

#

yeah its so bad now that we're allowed to drive on the shoulder

#

during rush hour

#

and the HOV lane costs money

fathom socket Jan 18, 2019, 1:31 PM

hoof

#

thats rough

#

another reason im not gonna move to a bigger city than pdx

odd talon Jan 18, 2019, 1:32 PM

#

as a result i actually take the bus now, whereas i NEVER would have considered it

fathom socket Jan 18, 2019, 1:32 PM

#

thats fair

odd talon Jan 18, 2019, 1:32 PM

#

i mean if you're in traffic for 90 min, its better to get work done

#

its not driving pleasure at that point

#

just ick

fathom socket Jan 18, 2019, 1:32 PM

shrug

#

my line of work i cant get work done on my commute even if i wanted

#

all my work is hands on at the site

so yknow each their own

odd talon Jan 18, 2019, 1:33 PM

#

yeah

fathom socket Jan 18, 2019, 1:33 PM

#

i mean somtimes i fill paperwork but its like maybe 10 minutes max at a job

#

usually none

#

but yeah for people who are busy, i can really see how autonomous cars would help

#

or those who cant drive

odd talon Jan 18, 2019, 1:39 PM

#

yeah i still think its pretty cool technology

#

and i'd love to see it evolve

fathom socket Jan 18, 2019, 1:40 PM

oh totally

i was super excited way back when it started with that govt incentivized challenge

#

watching the humvee go a few miles that first time

there was a video on it i think

You could compare it to just about any sporty coupe from the last 20 years and you'd be right

#

Similar to a 370Z also

#

and the Z4 it's based on

lime copper Jan 19, 2019, 4:37 AM

¯_(ツ)_/¯

shadow osprey Jan 19, 2019, 5:31 AM

But I won't be buying one so... I guess I don't care. I can kiss my dreams of owning a MK4 goodbye though, prices will have skyrocketed by now

#

And will only grow for the rest of it's life

Nissan calls its NISMO 370Z a tuner enthusiast's dream but, with its tuned suspension and 350 HP V6, a lot of the tuning is already done.

anyone who’s hot on turbos - how’s this looking to you? 91,000 miles. The oil puddle is from the PCV but I’m slightly confused as to what could have worn the leading edges of the main blades out and left the smaller blades in perfect condition

Personally new to turbo’s so it’s perhaps an obvious question but I’d expect normal wear and tear to take its toll on both sets of leading edges?

📎 image0.jpg

#

Also if anyone knows the name of those parts instead of “main blades” and “smaller blades” please do inform me

shadow osprey Jan 20, 2019, 12:37 AM

#

No idea what the different names are, or if there are even any, but it would make sense, since the secondary boxes sit further back from the primary ones, so any debris that entered would most likely hit only the primary blades

#

Do you have a shitty air filter? Or any air filter

fathom socket Jan 20, 2019, 1:21 AM

#

new cars follow a trend yes, but theyre all still unique, and i can appreciate it

#

theyre all a product of the era

#

like I personally, really really love how the 2014-2018 silverado and gmc sierras look

#

especially the no chrome single cab long beds

#

its so hard to actually find one though since most of those are sold in BULK

coral wolf Jan 20, 2019, 1:49 AM

#

So the new Supra

#

I'm a euro guy so it doesn't affect me but. They're rebodying something with a detuned engine compared to the original BMW, and trying to pass it off as a new craft.

#

That seems rather insulting to their highly loyal fanbase.

#

Now they're considering cancelling the gt86. I wonder if it's because it puts out more power than the 4cyl base Supra.

#

I'd get a golf r

#

Or a gti with stupid stable power

#

Good job Toyota

#

Now instead of brzs and gt86s, all the local douchebaggery on campus will have their dad buy them the 4cyl supra

#

They'll really think it's a racecar

#

Omg

#

The brz is just a new platform for a new gen of fast and the furious idiots

shadow osprey Jan 20, 2019, 4:24 AM

#

Wait, the 4 cyl supra makes less than 200 hp?

#

I'm convinced manufacturers don't want to bring back inline 6s because they know they're more reliable and sound wayyyy better than V6s. And can probably hold more power easier. Don't get me wrong, V6s can be good, but they don't often sound good. Mostly like trumpets (looking at you, Z cars). BMW is pretty much the only manufacturer to hold onto the inline 6, and those never sounded super amazing either, not like a JZ or RB at least... so kind of a wash there.

#

Also, older Jeep 3.9L and Ford 4.9L i6s were both completely bullet proof, dirt cheap to repair, and made plenty of torque.

fathom socket Jan 20, 2019, 6:07 AM

#

its planned obsolescence

#

As a mechanic is so gd infuriating

#

nothing made now is truly reliable

shadow osprey Jan 20, 2019, 6:34 AM

#

I wouldn't go that far. LSs and Mod motors are pretty damn good

#

It's more the electronics that make things shitty

coral wolf Jan 20, 2019, 8:13 AM

#

I'm gonna stay over here with my EA888, IS38 turbo. Reliable parts and engine with inexpensive and vast parts, and durability.

#

I love how car companies know they can top mount the filter and make a drain for the oil

#

But don't

#

My GTI, you just half turn the oil filter from up top (it has a bolt on it to be loosened) and throw open the drain from in front of the engine

#

And it's draining

#

Is nice

primal kelp Jan 20, 2019, 8:41 AM

#

@shadow osprey no idea what the previous owner’s been doing but I’ve either had the stock filter on it or more recently a reusable pod filter

#

@coral wolf have you had your tensioners done on your 888

warm sparrow Jan 20, 2019, 2:32 PM

#

@midnight peak 👌 i agree 90%

#

new supra is not "disgusting" but definitely not a supra, it looks too much like lots of others cars

#

and the second one on your pic is perfect! THIS is a Supra! love it

#

this thing on the middle of the front is weird and i really don't like the lights

#

these strips are ugly

#

et looks like shit, even just the light of the alternativ car would make the real supra much better

wheat hatch Jan 20, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

First pic of the Supra we got looks so stiff and boring

#

The second pic makes the car look excited and gives it more of a fun look rather than stiff and serious

warm sparrow Jan 20, 2019, 2:42 PM

#

not just that, it is beautiful

#

the other is weird, i hate this thing they did at the front

#

it doesn't even look like a toyota

#

more like a lexus

#

the more i look at the new supra, the more i hate it

#

why do they always put the exhaust in the fcking bumper, it was much better like on the old cars

#

a good old big exhaust coming from down below

midnight peak Jan 20, 2019, 3:14 PM

#

they tried to make the 992 look more modern and more unique and different

#

IMO it was wrong and they shouldn't have gone this far

#

the wide red reflective bar makes the rear look like an audi to me

#

like an A7/RS7

#

but the front and sides are NOICE

wheat hatch Jan 20, 2019, 4:04 PM

primal kelp Jan 20, 2019, 10:34 PM

#

Mate 20k if you want your timing chains to fucking die

#

Oil changes by the book are every 10k and Audi service is every 20k

#

According to all known sources of 3.0tdi the cleaner you keep the oil the longer the chains will last

#

Some people reccomend 7k, some 9, some 5. I can afford to do 5 so I will

#

Costs me like 50 quid for the oil and twenty for the filter. Sump plug washers are plentiful in supply

#

When I changed the oil on this the other day it was nearing a year since last service and had done 9300mi. Oil was fucking horrific. If that’s what 10k is gonna be like then 5k all the way

stoic ledge Jan 20, 2019, 10:49 PM

@shadow osprey my old swift had 12k intervals, did that at 10. Then again it was a 1.2 petrol and the oil after 10k was still pretty clean. Suppose it depends on the fuel type and engine

primal kelp Jan 21, 2019, 7:48 AM

The cleaner you keep the oil the less deposits you get around the engine etc, longer it lives. Lots of cars using timing chains these days, timing chains want, no, literally demand clean oil

jagged wagon Jan 21, 2019, 7:49 AM

#

CBC marketplace did an investigation into the frequency of oil changes. Basically, there is a cut off on the efficiency curve of how clean you keep the oil vs. the time, money, and effort that goes into changing oil, even if you do it yourself. (which is really easy, by the way)

That’s why people suggest doing short change intervals on the 3.0, it’s a diesel so it dirties it’s oil pretty quick and that has an impact on the life of the timing kit which you have to remove the whole engine to change

#

Change the oil a bit more often or remove the whole ass engine from the car and rebuild the timing kit. No-brainer

stoic ledge Jan 21, 2019, 8:00 AM

I literally know nobody who changes it every 5k miles, just when it goes in for a service every year, or when the car tells them to if they drive more km's a year

My interval is about 20k miles (30k kms) for a 1.2 petrol/LPG 😂

I get it replaced once a year with every service

And yes it has a timing chain

Dealerships get money out of you if the engine blows up tho lmao

#

Long life oil is a fallacy. Snake oil. “Run this for 20,000 miles and you’ll be able to see the dinosaurs re-forming in the sludge”.

Engines like clean oil - 1yr/10,000mi at a minimum is when you should change it. The oil filter obviously can only filter so much and the small bits pass through even when it’s absolutely clogged, but those small bits are still gonna be abrasive over time.

#

Also yearly/10k changes are a good way to check the health of your engine - examining oil for metallic bits or whether it smells of fuel etc

#

My parents have been driving all their cars with only one service/oil change a year for their entire life, never had an issue (and they drive about the same as me)

I don't think dealerships will postpone an oil change to ruin your engine, that will only give the brand a bad name

Please tell me how I’m supposed to regenerate the DPF on a van while driving around inner London

Why is it that some manufacturers are able to make nice sounding diesels that don’t clatter and others are like “lmao dude just make it sound like someone’s hitting the top of the pistons with a hammer”

WE can get 4000€ if we buy à car that fits conditions (gas emission rate) so if you buy a 8000€ car, they take back yours (again if it fits conditions) and give you up to 4k

Maybe i'll do that then, wait 6 monthes (the least to sell the car), and sell it for 7500k, then buy a good 96' / 98' vtec civic

shadow osprey Jan 22, 2019, 8:24 AM

I can hardly fit in the back seat of a camry

Like you move the front seat all the way up and then I'm... not uncomfortable. I won't say comfortable though lol

It's really large for European standards lol

shadow osprey Jan 22, 2019, 8:26 AM

Just cause the car seems big doesn't make the back seat big

We had a Peugeot 307 as family car, which is about the size of a Golf Wagon

@shadow osprey in europe when you don't really have much money, you don't take a car for how it looks

I'd rather buy a $1000 ranger than a $1000 civic

307's were quite spacious, well equipped, good driving and good engines, while looking good + not being too expensive

4 doors but no back seat GWloopyGok

#

They actually made a long bed version just for the Netherlands

#

So they can have it licenced as a commercial vehicle while having rear seats

#

And when i mean they made a long bed version... I mean they build a normal version in Brazil, shit it to Belgium where they add about 20cm (8 inch) to the bed, and then ship them to here
