cars

[jovial mauve]

I wont lie

[stoic ledge]

I'm just a poor student

xD

[jovial mauve]

I woul rather ha e a cool looking slow car then a fast shitty one

The opc is not ahitty

I ment in general

[stoic ledge]

Yeah I understand

Well fast is nice

But 16k is a lot

For a freaking 20 year old student

[jovial mauve]

I understand

When i pulled up im school woth a golf r yeah good times lmao

[stoic ledge]

Lolz

Wow apparently I said something LMG Floatboat doesn't like, it got sensored

No idea what was wrong

🤔

[jovial mauve]

Ik ging hosselen of straat daar had ik meer aan, pull up met een dikkere waggie dan een leraar

F

Hahaha

[stoic ledge]

Lol again

Whot

I said nothing wrong

Well nevermind then

Apparently LTT bot doesn't like it

I've got no idea what's wrong

[jovial mauve]

I had that yesterday aswell

[stoic ledge]

It's just odd

It's just sad the 1.6T emits 174g/km CO2, which makes it expensive to buy and/or even import

For a 4 year old (2015) OPC you still have to pay €3794 BPM at import

When new, it had 11k of BPM, while in Belgium you could buy it for €20-21k

Here it was 33k

[jovial mauve]

Yeah but thats NL for ya

[stoic ledge]

I know

Luckily the government promised cars won't get more expensive due to WLTP

Oh wait

[jovial mauve]

Hahahahaa

Mk do you play any games?

[fathom socket]

@warm sparrow I fking love defenders🤩 g wagons too

Gotta swap the shitty engine tho

[stoic ledge]

@jovial mauve Forza Horizon xD And I've also got Fallout 76 (sue me) and Battlefield V but haven't had the time yet xD But that's kinda offtopic 😛

@fathom socket Like this ?

6.2 V8

Normally I'm not a fan of Kahn, but this is

[fathom socket]

Yeah, but that’s too fancy. I like ecd more than kahn

Although I’ll prefer to swap it. Those companies charge way too much

[jovial mauve]

@stoic ledge i have forza

[stoic ledge]

Ah well, those Defenders are waay to expensive anyway over here. Due to high emissions, they are over €100k so

[fathom socket]

@stoic ledge here too. I had a toyota land cruiser and swapped the engine for 20k all

So yeah, 100 is waaaaaay over my budget

[stoic ledge]

R.I.P

[odd talon]

@fathom socket which engine did you swap?

[fathom socket]

@odd talon rn it has a 454 with a magnusson twin

Sounds like a mother

Full custom harness

And so on

[odd talon]

sounds cool!

which gen LC?

@fathom socket

[shadow osprey]

You put a Chevy 454 in a land cruiser?

Can’t say I’ve heard of that before

Then again I don’t follow land cruiser anything

[fathom socket]

By lc you mean octane? Lc = liquid concentration? Or?

Its tuned for c101 but it runs on 98 rn

Plus 200ml of booster

Well, it was either an lsx or a 2jz, s85 or a rb. I also had the crazy idea of a 4rotor but it would have no torque so that was a no go..

I thought of a turbo foursome but it was out of my budget so..yeah. It would sound a lot less cooler so..

@odd talon

@shadow osprey

[shadow osprey]

Oh it’s an LSX lol I thought you meant big block

[fathom socket]

I’m not that into big blocks

Kinda old tech

I’m thinking on going with methanol tho

[odd talon]

oh I mean land cruiser

[fathom socket]

Oh lol

Its a 98

I’ll take a pic, 1 sex

Sec

Lolz

There you go

I think it’s called prado in the us

[stoic ledge]

Looks like a J90 ?

[fathom socket]

95 cuz its the long version

Totally sleeper. Looks like slow af 😃

[stoic ledge]

Nice !

[jovial mauve]

F

[stoic ledge]

I don't see the issue besides a fairly high fuel consumption ?

[jovial mauve]

yeah that was it

[fathom socket]

@jovial mauve shit, you get 10.5/ 100 that shit sips. What model is it?

[odd talon]

@fathom socket Nice car. The US never got the Prado, there was the GX470 which was the same as the Prado.

[fathom socket]

@odd talon thx dude. There’s a lot of nicer cars but this one has a spot in my heart. Was my first car given by my parents. I remember when we bought it when i was little. 😦 well, that sucks, the lexus is basically the same car so... just a uglier logo imo

An*

[odd talon]

Yeah the US had the GX470 from 03 to 10

then it became the GX460

One thing I HATE about these trucks is the rust issues

[fathom socket]

This one’s from ,98

‘98*

Yeah

The rust is awful

I got a fabed chassis tho

The guy that sold it to me was super sad to see it go

[jovial mauve]

its a mercedes a class

[fathom socket]

Its 4130

Nice dude

I love a classes

Look so fking good

[jovial mauve]

thanks dude

they do 😃

[fathom socket]

That shit is so fking fast. I drove the 45 one time and i was like, take my money

[jovial mauve]

haha yeah

[fathom socket]

Sad me when I remembered I didn’t have the $ for it

[jovial mauve]

yeah i thought about getting a 45 but opted for something else

[fathom socket]

Shits expensive yo

And its a turbo2 right?

[jovial mauve]

yes it is

[fathom socket]

😦 not gonna hate but the naming is on point 😉

Looks like bmw

X5 m50d

3 liter

🤦

[jovial mauve]

i dont like the x5 or the x6

[fathom socket]

I like the x7 and the previous x5 (‘07

I’m not a bimmer fanboy but I drewl at the s85 engine

That shit with titanium pistons, rods. New valve timing and ported heads can scream

I wanted to make one scream at 12k but...

[tight cypress]

supra

[fathom socket]

Supras are overrated.

[midnight peak]

reeeeee

[tight cypress]

R32 then

[midnight peak]

godzilla is overrated

[cedar hinge]

Fuck

[fathom socket]

Why not a Nissan s12?

They were quite handsome

[hexed arrow]

@jovial mauve have you seen mine?

11L / Km. Korean efficiency

[jovial mauve]

lmaoio

no

[shadow osprey]

S12? The thing before the S13?

[fathom socket]

if anyone cares fernando alonso is 2nd at the 24 hours of Daytona

[haughty ridge]

Isn't he going to indycar?

[fathom socket]

yeah

[fathom socket]

I’m watching live

He’s 1st rn

[tribal shard]

Am gonna miss Alonso when he retires it

what a shame

he has been robbed ever since he join McLaren and started racing with Hamilton

[glacial sigil]

I own a 2011 Honda CR-Z

[hexed arrow]

How do I add more touch screens

[midnight peak]

get a keksla

[hexed arrow]

[stoic ledge]

The steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car 😅

Also: what the * is the purpose of the screen on top ?

[magic arrow]

We actually really enjoyed the 2019 Sante Fe

i have the 2019 Honda Odyssey right now (just got dropped off)

i get the Jeep Trackhawk next week 😄

Working on the 2020 GLE 450 video for this Friday

[stoic ledge]

I've seen the GLE pics @instagram, great color !

[magic arrow]

we really liked it

fun and sad fact

so we get a press release car

it doesn't have the terrain system

....i wasn't able to record it doing the sand dance

but I have the burmeister and massage seats...

[stoic ledge]

Oeh Burmeister system is nice

[magic arrow]

it really was nice

[stoic ledge]

About the missing terrain: 99% of the buyers won't use it 😛 But for a press car... Kinda odd

[magic arrow]

I KNOW!

after the GLE I ended up with the 2019 Hyundai Sante Fe which was oddly really good

but i'm like freaking out over this 2019 Honda Odyssey

there is NO good way to film a mini van....LOL

[stoic ledge]

A mini-van can fit more dogs labs 😛 Futhermore... I have no idea xD

The new Santa Fe looms really good imho

[magic arrow]

it's really really nice

[stoic ledge]

Odyssey... Well it's a van

[magic arrow]

films nice too

Odyssey....is an odyssey but omg the space

very daunting to film and make it fun

I'll post GLE this Friday

[stoic ledge]

Does it have the build in vacuum cleaner

[magic arrow]

no!

[stoic ledge]

i'll watch it

[magic arrow]

i was so disappointed

[stoic ledge]

No vacuum cleaner? What's even the point ?

Cabin talk and rear seat camera system ?

[magic arrow]

yeah all of that is there

but i already highlighted them in the 2019 Pilot video we did

[stoic ledge]

Ah

[magic arrow]

T.T

[stoic ledge]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[magic arrow]

yah ...well i have all week

literally was dropped off 2 hours ago

Also, i'll be doing a live coverage of the New York International Auto Show with Andie during the press days!

[stoic ledge]

This is the Odessey. Check our Pilot review, only it's larger inside
THE END

[magic arrow]

LOL

but need that 10:01 video

#Adsense

[stoic ledge]

😂

Are dogs allowed on Auto Shows ? Never seen them before xD

[magic arrow]

well we have 3 passes for the press day

so i'm guess yes? LOL

maybe it helps if she's part of the show

well the youtube channel

like it's nit kitchy

[stoic ledge]

Well just use the Pilot review, beep over every time you say "Pilot" with "Odyssey" and show some outside fragmenta of the Odyssey: done!

[magic arrow]

i'm thinking of getting inflatable ppl

we'll see

i usually drive the car for the 1st 2 days and then come up with something

[stoic ledge]

Hehe I don't know, you have 3 tickets, but I've never seen a dog on such a show, that's all (:

[magic arrow]

have you been to the press days?

or just the general admission

[stoic ledge]

Yeah test jt, find out how it is to live with

Uhm press day of tech shows, + normal auto shows. No press auto show tho

[magic arrow]

AHHH

yea, Andie wasn't allowed at CES

otherwise we would have gone with Insta360

[stoic ledge]

😢

[magic arrow]

I KNOW!! right?! doggy perspective around CES

lol

[stoic ledge]

Yeah CES was too expensive, flying out from Europe xD

Lolz

Put a 360 cam on Andie

[magic arrow]

its ok you didn't miss anything

it was more TVs with slight upgrades some 8k TVs and thats about it

sad CES

no Phantom 5

[stoic ledge]

[magic arrow]

LOL

[stoic ledge]

I've got Samsung's latest tv in our store xD It's nice but... Kinda useless. No content available

But... That's kinda offtopic

[magic arrow]

the 8K?

[stoic ledge]

Yeah

[magic arrow]

haha thats nice

[stoic ledge]

Also more expensive than my car 😂

[magic arrow]

but how much time do you spend in a car vs staring at TV? lol

[stoic ledge]

Well I'm in my car about at least an hour a day, TV can be 2 hours but also 0 hours so... About the same

😛

[magic arrow]

LOL

[stoic ledge]

Apparently the Sante Fe isn't available here, but I could have sworn I've seen it allready on the road

Ah It's available neighboring countries

But ofcourse not here

[magic arrow]

LOL

[stoic ledge]

[magic arrow]

trade embargos

[stoic ledge]

too much CO2 emissions making it too expensive

[magic arrow]

better than diesel LOL

[stoic ledge]

Europe only has the diesel

2.0 CDRI and 2.2 CDRI

Ah yes I've found an official Hyundai report, stating It's unsure it will be sold here due to a high asking priced caused by the CO2-tax

Looks really good tho, and very well priced in neighboring countries

I was wrong: there's also a 2.4 petrol in some countries, not all

But it's packing a €35k tax-premium 😂

[magic arrow]

oh wow

that is crazy

[stoic ledge]

Bringing the base 2.4 GDI to €78k, which is $85k USD (?)

It's nice but not that nice

$89k USD*

[magic arrow]

HAHA oh my god that is crazy

[stoic ledge]

Yeah rub it in

xD

MSRP in the USA: $25.500 for a base model

$72k difference

😂

[hexed arrow]

Bloody pioneer with their special harnesses. Anyone know where to get a harness?

[magic arrow]

the 10 pin harness?

radio shake

shack*

[honest yarrow]

If my work requires me to drive a car that’s too powerful for a p plate can I still drive it?

[shadow osprey]

What is your work requiring you to drive and what is a p plate

@honest yarrow

[honest yarrow]

@shadow osprey p plates are a Australian licence tier, we can drive certain cars on them but my work wants me to drive a wrx

[shadow osprey]

I wish my work wanted me to drive a wrx

You might be able to talk to your department of motor vehicle people or whatever it is down under, but I doubt anything will change

Why can't you just move it up a tier

Is your work requiring you also use this p plate?

[honest yarrow]

P plate is cause I don’t have my full license

[shadow osprey]

And your work knows you don't have a full license?

[honest yarrow]

Yes

But they want me to drive the company car

[shadow osprey]

Then they should know you can't drive it lmao

[honest yarrow]

They said something about p plates being accepted to drive this car if it was a company car, I just want to confirm this so I don’t loose my licence

[shadow osprey]

I don't know any aussies that post on the car thread. I know there's one from NZ but that probably won't help you

I'd just talk to your boss about it the next time you're in work

[honest yarrow]

Ok thx

[shadow osprey]

Or call the place you get your plates from, they would know also

btw, you got a dope ass work lol

[honest yarrow]

Ikr

[stoic ledge]

Your company car is a WRX... nice !

[fathom socket]

Brand new rad for the 454

[stoic ledge]

Cool 😎 (pun intended)

[odd talon]

@hexed arrow mouser

digikey

[hexed arrow]

👌

[tribal shard]

@fathom socket nice MoRa3 mate! 🤣

[fathom socket]

Never thought of using it as a computer rad. That shit would be insane. It’s gonna go in my car cuz it was way too expensive for a computer... i can only imagine hooking up the car rad fans to it next to a pc..hahah would be fking crazy 😝
@tribal shard

[tribal shard]

lol people do it I do it LOL

[jovial mauve]

You know whats litt

Whwn i turn on my car the lights become blue

[stoic ledge]

What lights ?

[stoic ledge]

Lol Nice

Reprogramming or did you change the LEDs ?

[jovial mauve]

its standard 😮

i think they charge uop or smnth

[stoic ledge]

Never seen it before

[jovial mauve]

pretty sick

[stoic ledge]

Yeah looks cool

Meanwhile i'm here with halogen DRL

[jovial mauve]

led is so nice exepct for the people in fornt of u haha

[stoic ledge]

Don't have a problem with it, only thing I hate are cara with auto high beam

That just doesn't work on so many cars

[jovial mauve]

idk i have so often in the dark people signal me to tunr of my fog lights lmao

oin the golf aswelll those are even brighter

[stoic ledge]

Lol fog lights are ok, they don't shine as high as high beams

[jovial mauve]

ik bedoel groot licht lmao

[stoic ledge]

Yes

Wait

Groot licht == high beam ?

[jovial mauve]

i gues\

[stoic ledge]

Well modern cars have auto high beam assist ?

It doesn't work

99/100 times it turn off the high beam too late

[jovial mauve]

i dont have the assist option toh

[stoic ledge]

Good

I hate it

[jovial mauve]

hahah

[stoic ledge]

Doug Demuro kinda reviewed your car btw xD

[jovial mauve]

wich one ?

u got censord lmao

[stoic ledge]

Lol srsly

Mercedes Benz CLA 45 amg

Better?

[jovial mauve]

haha well depending on the spec it looks notinhg like itr

[stoic ledge]

He already did a Golf R once

Yeah it's completely different

But it's a cheap trim: no climate control, no satnav, no heated seats....

Kinda like my buddy's

[jovial mauve]

i would pick the preformance seats over the heating doh

cleann

some pics i took when i got it

[stoic ledge]

Noice

[stoic ledge]

Waitttt a minute... That's not the dual zone climate control system?

xD

[jovial mauve]

its not but im pretty sure it is climate control

i have a spec sheet somehwere

im all bout that solo life

[stoic ledge]

It does have number on it like a climate control system but works like a normal heater (cool/hot) no ?

[jovial mauve]

uh

[stoic ledge]

Just like the older VW systems

[jovial mauve]

it has like temp and speed and like ac and circulation window heating mirrior heating all those memes

[stoic ledge]

Yeah i know

But will it stop heating after it reached the temperature or does it keep heating ?

[jovial mauve]

no when i set it to 20 it will keep it at 20 and not get hotter

or colder

[stoic ledge]

hmm ok then

Just single zone climate control

[jovial mauve]

but tbh i have all my vents close since im really hot fast, i just leave it on front window heating xD

[stoic ledge]

https://www.golfmkv.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=70389&stc=1&d=1292510785

Old VW's had this system, but the degress on there makes no difference

Ah wow xD

[jovial mauve]

i have a little more options 😛

[stoic ledge]

But yeah most of the time i've got it on the windows too

Only extra option is the window mode no ?

[jovial mauve]

yeha i did not realise the right dial was for aiming the air :p

[stoic ledge]

That's normal

[vital glen]

Who needs climate control when you have open or close windows and ice @stoic ledge

[stoic ledge]

I don't , but the climate control unit looks fancier than the manual

[jovial mauve]

as you see golf has the zones 😛

[stoic ledge]

Yeah the Golf R has climate control as standard

Cheaper trims still don't:

https://www.gebrauchtteile.co.at/images/product_images/popup_images/DSH_8402.JPG

But they removed the degrees on the dial like on the Golf V

They wanted people to believe it was an automatic climate control system, but it wasn't

Clever VW

Sjoemel sjoemel

😛

[jovial mauve]

hahah

foor all the fgun i have had

i tyake it

[jovial mauve]

this was the choice i had to make

[stoic ledge]

Just the normal unit

Well the CLA is just ugly so easy choice xD

[jovial mauve]

indeed 😛

oh i did this once aswell

dont h8

[stoic ledge]

insert hate

[jovial mauve]

lmao

haha

[stoic ledge]

🏳️‍🌈

[jovial mauve]

my friend is the owner there

[stoic ledge]

🤔

[jovial mauve]

there are some nioce cars sometimes

i like this

[stoic ledge]

Those rims tho

[jovial mauve]

true

thats how it turned out

[stoic ledge]

Scirocco is one of the only VW's I'd ever consider to buy, but those wheels... Nah

[jovial mauve]

it was n r aswell 😮

[stoic ledge]

Honest opinion ? I prefer the white

Yeah i say the badge

[jovial mauve]

i mean badges dont mean shit anymore

[stoic ledge]

Yeah because it jsn't a R

[jovial mauve]

we also bought a car last winter or 2 winters ago

a 205

to doe like rally memes

i cant send the vid

but we straight piped it and it sounded like a fukcing civic

[stoic ledge]

Lolz

We had a rally Golf 3 xD

But we blew the engine

[stoic ledge]

Great fun tho

Lolz

[jovial mauve]

big F

[stoic ledge]

Lemme check if I have a pic of it

We modified it once when we where "drunk"...

So don't laugh

[jovial mauve]

hahahah very nice

[stoic ledge]

xD

[jovial mauve]

the fun thing is right

we bought our s for 150 euros from a student

and sold it after we fucked it for 150 euros to a farmer

who wanted to cross aswell

[stoic ledge]

Lolz xD

Yeah this one came from a wreckage yard, but is was less then 100€ ? So.. 😛

[jovial mauve]

haha nice

[stoic ledge]

€20 each

[jovial mauve]

we 50 each

[stoic ledge]

Nice

Was a 1.9 TDI if i remember right, 90 hp ?

[jovial mauve]

nou oursd was gas

idk hp

have to check lincenseplate

[stoic ledge]

Threw some red diesel in it, no worries because we didn't use it on the road

Yeah it didn't have a plate anymore

[jovial mauve]

our did so we could go onb the road lmao

[stoic ledge]

Well it's Limburg + really small farmers villages, so /care xD

We just went into fields

[jovial mauve]

lmao haha

[stoic ledge]

Other friends had a Micra, we raced eachother one the fields xD

Made a course using hay bales we hadn't collected yet

Best €20 euros ever spend

[jovial mauve]

same i know the feeling lmao

[stoic ledge]

Ah it was a 1.9 TD with 75hp

Getting in and out was hard tho

Since we covered the Doors with carpet on the outside

Not the brightest idea

[shadow osprey]

@jovial mauve what VW is that? Is it like a coupe Polo or something

[stoic ledge]

@shadow osprey the VW Scirocco ?

It's coupe-like Golf

Based on the Golf Mk5

[shadow osprey]

Ah I knew that

Only seen them in video games though lol

[stoic ledge]

Yeah they were only sold in Europe

Still, quite rare tho

Because it was more expensive, less practicle but exactly the same to drive

[shadow osprey]

True true

[stoic ledge]

Only reason to buy it was for the looks

[shadow osprey]

Oh lol

Not even higher power?

[stoic ledge]

Well ranging from 1.4TSI 122hp, 2.0 TSI (200hp) and the Scirocco R, 265hp

And the 2.0TDI

You could get the same engines in a normal Golf

Build from 2008-2017, but they stopped selling them here in 2012

[carmine summit]

It was a bit lighter though

I'd like to import one of those, they're cool

Might be fun to drop a 3.6 in it and add 4Motion

[stoic ledge]

As far as I can tell, is a 3 door Golf V (or VI) with the same engine lighter

5 Doors too

[shadow osprey]

I’d love to import me an escort or maybe a cosworth. Too bad they’re super expensive lol

[jovial mauve]

The scirocco R is a cool car

[stoic ledge]

Well yeah, rare and special versions of a car (like an Escort RS Cosworth) tend to be expensive 😛

Scirocco R looks cool, starting around €20k for 2010 models

[jovial mauve]

Unpractical car

I also like the passat cc

[shadow osprey]

At least the cosworth got a better engine lol

[jovial mauve]

Beh

[hexed arrow]

I've got your normal sub cables which I need to plug into my pioneer wx300a sub/amp (picture) what kind of connector will I need? I didint get the harness with the sub and it will take over 2 weeks to return and refund this one.

[jovial mauve]

Idk fam

[hexed arrow]

Time to buy harness try them and return them if they don't work

[jovial mauve]

I almost never listen to music in yhe car

[stoic ledge]

I do listen to music but I've got no knowledge about in-car audio systems and wiring

[jovial mauve]

I have thw spotify life in my car

[vital glen]

@stoic ledge who needs aux when you have a vinyl record player

In your dash

[stoic ledge]

[fathom socket]

But that’s illegal so I don’t do it

[stoic ledge]

[fathom socket]

achem caugh caugh

[stoic ledge]

But playing it on a OEM headunit, it probably won't make a difference

Also pretty sure it doesn't support Lossless

[fathom socket]

You can play it on a oem. You won’t have so much diff. But shits gonna be soooooooo much better than Spotify

I can give you the link for a flac/dsd player for iPhone

[stoic ledge]

Got Android 😉

[fathom socket]

@shadow osprey you got it, right?

Also for android 😜

[stoic ledge]

Lol 😛

But Phone > AUX > headunit or what ?

[fathom socket]

More or less

Phone to digital ‘cleaner’ to active dac to aux to headunit/car sound system

There’s some other stuff between the source and output but you don’t need it all

Depends on how much you wanna carry

The most basic one would be

Phone to digital cleaner (this is so small and makes such a difference so it’s almost mandatory) to aux to headunit

[stoic ledge]

Google's digital cleaner

[fathom socket]

You didn’t ask about headphones so don’t mind that part

Imma look for a link 1 sec

[stoic ledge]

Yeah don't use headphones

Like... Never

[fathom socket]

Audioquest jitterbug

Or ifi ipurifier

Something along those lines

Brb

[stoic ledge]

Ok

[fathom socket]

I’m back

Basically i said the audioquest jittebug cuz if you wanna keep that sweet usb connectiv you can still use it

You’re on a merc right?

[stoic ledge]

Nope I've got a Opel, @jovial mauve has a Merc xD

Only input is aux

[fathom socket]

I know for a fact it works 100% with bimmer cuz I’ve set up one for my paps

Oh ok

I guess you won’t lose anything then

You can go the active dac route 😃

I can give you a setup and cost if yah want

Have free time rn

[stoic ledge]

Remember i'm a poor student xD

Atm using MP3 CD's @256bit because 320 is too much, headunit can't handle it

Also, will it be that big of a difference using stock speakers and headunit ? (I've got no clue tbh)

[fathom socket]

Yes, I always give this example

If the meat is shit and your barbecue skills are normal the barb will be shit

If the meat is good

The worst thing that can happen is it will be meh

But it will probably be good

[stoic ledge]

That actaully makes sense

[shadow osprey]

I think you mean the opposite

You can cook shit meat well and it'll turn out ok

If you fuck up good meat, it's still shit

[fathom socket]

Nah, if the meat is good, it wont be shit

[stoic ledge]

Unless you burn it

[shadow osprey]

You've clearly never cooked meat poorly before

[fathom socket]

If you can pull that off, you’re a freaking master

Oh trust me i have

[stoic ledge]

Is that... A Challenge?

[shadow osprey]

Good meat cooked bad is still better than bad meat cooked bad, but that doesn't mean it's good lol

[fathom socket]

Yes! Mk

@shadow osprey but it will be better than shitty meat

For the same chef

[shadow osprey]

Yes, I said that -__-

[fathom socket]

Ik

Even for fking gordon he’ll still have a bad time tryna cook that shit up

And at most a good

Never a great

[shadow osprey]

Yeah, but he would agree with me lol

[fathom socket]

The pussy i raw. F you ramsey

Is*

@stoic ledge tell me your budget

So I don’t try to put up something way above it

Set up*

Not put up lolz

[stoic ledge]

I don't really have a budget 😛 So idk, something good value/money wise for in a car ?

[fathom socket]

Yes!

If you care about impressing the gs

Jk

[stoic ledge]

xD

[fathom socket]

Yeah, i have it on my daily

My paps too

He was like f you i want that

Now!

[stoic ledge]

You're talking about the jitterbug now or .. ?

[fathom socket]

He has iphoen to jitter to usb

But that’s because he wanted the sweet usb onnect

[stoic ledge]

My only input is aux tho

[fathom socket]

And the ability to select the music on the car screen

Ik

So the quality will be better on yourse

I have it on aux too

Even though i have usb

And i love usb

I still use aux

For the better quality

Give me a number

[stoic ledge]

69 😏

Jk idk 100 ? I've got no idea, Jitterbox is €40 as far as i can see

[fathom socket]

😏

👉👌

Ill give you one for 100~200

Brb

[delicate sinew]

Hey @fathom socket so badically we had snow, car got stuck while reversing and i drove forward and back several times. My winters got me out but now when I drive over 80km/h my car starts to violently shake until it slows down

Im thinking snow is stuck in the tires but im not sure

[stoic ledge]

@delicate sinew you didn't hit anything that could have messed up your alligning ?

[shadow osprey]

I'd be surprised if you actually got snow in your tires

[fathom socket]

@stoic ledge here’s some options

Jitterbug + fiio q1 mk2, a5 or k3

All on that 100-200

If you wanna go ball to the wall

You can buy the q5 and add Bluetooth to you connectivity

300~ tho

@delicate sinew does the steering wheel also shake?

It can be a lot of things

Some pretty easy to fix, others well, not so much

[patent basalt]

I have apple CarPlay I love that shit

[fathom socket]

CarPlay is nice but..

Could be so much better

[jovial mauve]

Havent drove my golf in 3 weeks feelsbadman

[stoic ledge]

@fathom socket Thnx, i'm sure to take a look at it (:

Bluetooth would be nice but €419 here, that's a lot 😮

[jovial mauve]

Wow 419 euros f

[delicate sinew]

@fathom socket yeah

[stoic ledge]

🤔 That can be multiple things

Dou you also hear a sound going over bumps ?

[patent basalt]

It was a $750 option on my truck lol

But that came with car play and a touch screen

[stoic ledge]

Sync 3 ?

Sync2 was rubbsih, but Sync3 is fine

Also, Android Auto/Apple Carplay is a really great solution for cheaper cars, works great and fast while cheap systems often don't

[patent basalt]

Sync 3 my trucks a 2018

[stoic ledge]

Yeah Sync 3 is good

Sync 2 was kinda slow to respond, small buttons while driving, not really all that clear

[indigo coral]

Our Explorer and Taurus have MyFordTouch, they're kind of slow but for most things it's tolerable.

[stoic ledge]

MyFordTouch is Sync 2 I assume ?

What I remember of it is it reacting too slow on input, and too many presses are required for basic tasks.
But, I have to admit, I haven't used it in a while, so maybe my memory of it is bad 😛

[indigo coral]

I think it's similar to Sync 2.

[stoic ledge]

According to Wikipedia, MyFordTouch is SyncGen2

[indigo coral]

Fair enough. It's been okay but not outstanding.

[stoic ledge]

Ah also found while I find it quite slow to respond: while in the US it was released in 2011, we got it in the 2015 Focus and Mondeo (Fusion)

So it was already a 4 year old system

[indigo coral]

We've got a 2014 Explorer Sport and a 2013 Taurus SHO. I agree, its somewhat slow, but hey. It works 😂

[stoic ledge]

Yeah sure, I would appreciate it too if i had it fitted in my car 😛 Especially see what Ford used in their cars over here till 2015: the Sync 1 system with it's tiny screen

But overall I prefer the Sync 3, which makes sence because it's much newer 😛

[indigo coral]

In theory it's possible to swap out MyFordTouch with Sync 3. I looked into it and its like 1000$ for the module though, so we decided that it's fine as is.

[stoic ledge]

Does the upgrade also give you Android Auto and Apple Carplay ? 🤔

[indigo coral]

I don't know.

Looks like it

[stoic ledge]

If so it wouldn't be that bad of a deal, but still a lot of money ofcourse

[indigo coral]

But also looks like its closer to 1500$

[stoic ledge]

🤔

1500 * 2 = 3k.. yeah that's alot

[indigo coral]

I've done some digging into adding an AUX jack to my car and came to the conclusion that it's damn near impossible. RIP me.

XD

[stoic ledge]

Loool RIP

Does it have USB tho ?

[indigo coral]

The Explorer and Taurus are my Parent's cars. I have a Lexus RX 300 from 1999. (I'm only 16 :P)

If it had the base Pioneer system then I could add AUX with no problems. The issue comes when the car has the Nakamichi upgraded stereo, which of course mine has.

[stoic ledge]

A 16 year old with a RX 300 I think I've never seen that before xD

[indigo coral]

They're nice cars. Quirky though.

[stoic ledge]

insert Doug Demuro voice

[indigo coral]

I commute an hour each way to school.

So it's nice having something relatively substantial as opposed to a tiny Civic or something.

[stoic ledge]

Tiny civic 👀

My car is smaller

xD

[indigo coral]

The RX 300 was also extremely cheap.

If I remember right we only paid 200$ for it.

[stoic ledge]

Wow

That's nothing

Yeah I can understand why you bought that car

For $200 I would have done the same

[indigo coral]

It's very comfortable, I've got some plans for some light mods eventually.

[stoic ledge]

I've checked, atm only 1 RX of that gen is for sale in my country, €4.5k, and it's at the most shady seller in the country

[indigo coral]

Once it comes time to replace shocks I plan to get some stiffer one, then drop the suspension about an inch. That would make it look better imo, (not slammed), but primarily to improve handling.

It just makes it look more station-wagony

Not riced/slammed

[stoic ledge]

Raise it, add a bull bar and a winch

xD

[indigo coral]

Lol

I think that looks fine, slightly lower.

[stoic ledge]

Yeah it does

[indigo coral]

I think it has some space in the suspension because its """"rated for towing""""

[stoic ledge]

Aah the times luxury suv's had two tone colors

[indigo coral]

Yeah you'd never tow with those cars. It'd explode the transmission practically instantly.

The transmission is the weak link of the RX300, They pulled it out of the Camry, which weighs a lot less and has 100 less horsepower, then didnt cool it very well.

It's fine for daily driving but you'd never tow with it.

[stoic ledge]

Good Japanese engineering

[indigo coral]

Oh well. If it breaks we aren't out much.

[stoic ledge]

😂 True

[indigo coral]

for a '99 it doesn't have that many miles on it

only 120k.

[stoic ledge]

That's not much indeed

[indigo coral]

I've seen these cars go 300+ pretty easily.

[stoic ledge]

Only 6k a year

[indigo coral]

In a perfect world I'd like it to last until I can swing a Model 3, but that's probably wishful thinking.

[stoic ledge]

Tesla :boi:

[indigo coral]

Lol.

[stoic ledge]

Not available as a manual so I'll pass

xD

[indigo coral]

I want to learn to drive stick, but the only manual car we have is a '66 bronco, and that thing is a real handful.

[stoic ledge]

The majority over here is a manual so it's quite usefull ;) Also, if you pass the test in an auto, you car only drive autos, never a manual. So almost everybody learns to drive in a manual

[indigo coral]

Really?

[stoic ledge]

Yeah

[indigo coral]

that's interesting

Is there a way to get a manual certification?

[stoic ledge]

Just take the test in a manual car

[indigo coral]

Weird. Why do they do that?

[stoic ledge]

If you take the test in an auto, you get a note on your drivers license which restricts you to driving an auto

Why not? xD Actually makes sense

[indigo coral]

Around here, when you first get your licence theres restrictions on when and who you can drive, then they drop off after like 6 months for some and 1 year for others

[stoic ledge]

Yeah somebody explained it here earlier

[indigo coral]

Initially you can only have family in the car when you're driving alone, or adults, and can't drive between 1 and 5 am. After 6 months, the time restrictions stay in place but the passenger restirctions drop off ---yeah

it's interesting, at least is logical

[stoic ledge]

Maybe it's also because we have a large selection of cars with a manual, in the US 99% is an auto

[indigo coral]

Very true

[stoic ledge]

So everybody learns in a manual, except people who really really really can't drive a manual, then you can get an auto

Other drivers license restrictions for new drivers are kinda complicated xD

[indigo coral]

Is it true they're going to place power restrictions on cars for new drivers?

[stoic ledge]

Well over here they kinda do, not by law but they won't insure your car if it has a high power output

[indigo coral]

What's classified as "high power output"?

[stoic ledge]

Or you pay an extreme amount

Your RX300

xD

[indigo coral]

Our insurance classified my RX as a "Performance Car" but this is America

[stoic ledge]

Lolz

[indigo coral]

People have 600hp Corvettes all the time

It's only got 220hp and AWD lol.

[stoic ledge]

Well my car is classified as a minivan

[indigo coral]

It's not overly slow but it sure as hell isn't fast

[stoic ledge]

"only 220hp" is more then 90% of the cars here

So

xD

[indigo coral]

Really?

[stoic ledge]

Yes

Apart from luxury brands you can't get that amount xD

[indigo coral]

Wow

[stoic ledge]

Or it needs to be a hot hatch or something

[indigo coral]

Even the Camry has 300hp here

Our explorer and Taurus are tuned to 430

[stoic ledge]

I've got 83

(:

[indigo coral]

Yikes

[stoic ledge]

^^

[indigo coral]

What's your car?

[stoic ledge]

2012 Corsa

(Fiesta sized car)

[indigo coral]

Oh nice

My friend has a Geo Metro with 58hp. It's an awful car with a 3 speed manual

[stoic ledge]

It's not even the base engine xD

[indigo coral]

It's literally a death trap

[stoic ledge]

Oof

Yeah but that's a Metro

I mean srsly

[indigo coral]

The speed limits are 60mph here (100kmh) but everyone goes 80+mph

I was going 75mph in a 60 on the interstate and was getting passed like i was standing still

[stoic ledge]

Lol

Well over here the limit is 75-80 mph

But i cruise at ±90 mph

Fast enough

Geo Metro is that Suzuki Swift rebadged car isn't it?

I Googled: yes

[indigo coral]

I don't know, but it's a real heap. Flat out dangerous

Especially with all the big SUVs around here

[stoic ledge]

Yeah it's 💩

All Geo's were just some rebranded cars

[indigo coral]

At least the RX is safe

I named it Myrtle 😂😂 since the antenna goes up and down and squeals if stuff gets stuck in there. Hence Myrtle, from Harry potter, Moaning Myrtle.

[stoic ledge]

Looool

Antenna going up and down, wow that's oldskool

I don't have a nickname for the car

[indigo coral]

Hey. It's a 99 😂😂

[stoic ledge]

But still xD

As long as i'm alive, we've never had a car with such antenna

Atleast i think so

Lemme check

Nope

My partents had a 1990 Peugeot 405 (in 1998) and it already had a fixed antenna on the roof 😄

Lol US-models of the 405 did have an antenna which moves up and down

[warm sparrow]

i like cars

[delicate sinew]

I like vehicles

So re: my car shaking violently at over 80km/h, I'm going to take it to the car wash over the weekend on Saturday or Sunday because it should be 2°c to 4°c, and the snow should melt. I'm going to take it for an oil change sometime on the weekend as well and see if my mechanic can see if maybe the undercarriage cover came loose because that was another suggestion from my buddy which makes sense

[stoic ledge]

@delicate sinew Does it make a sound going over bumps ?

[delicate sinew]

Nope, it does not

[stoic ledge]

🤔

[delicate sinew]

I know so it doesnt sound like the undercarriage

But it doesnt hurt to check that right

[stoic ledge]

Yeah no sure

Checking won't hurt

[delicate sinew]

Im just trying to eliminate anything else

[stoic ledge]

It occured suddenly didn't it ?

[delicate sinew]

Well since my car got stuck in the snow since the snow basically was holding my car hostage, yeah

Im wondering if maybe I might have damaged the driveshaft

But i dont even know how the driveshaft works

[stoic ledge]

Did you slide in to a curb or something ?

[delicate sinew]

Nope, basically i reversed into 25cm of snow and the car got stuck so i had to keep hitting drive and reverse to shake the car out

Then once i could push the car into the snow off my driveway, the front tires caught the snow and did the rest of the work

[stoic ledge]

Well snow can be hard so it could have bent something

But that's hard to say

[delicate sinew]

Well it was whatever the plow pushed back onto my driveway. In any case, I have a few mechanic friends with hoists so they can lift my car up for an underbody inspection which I'll more than likely do

I just hope that isn't the case because theres nothing more disconcerting than that

[stoic ledge]

Yeah true that will suck 😦

[indigo coral]

My steering wheel was shaking like crazy at 65+ mph, and it turned out to be wheel balance.

Got the tires/wheels balanced and the shaking went away.

It got more violent the faster I went

[stoic ledge]

Yeah my brother had the same with his "old" car, but that was also due too different tires left and right (wtf)

Not front and rear, but left and right

[indigo coral]

how do you end up with two different tires

[stoic ledge]

Former owner running it on the cheap

Front/rear different isn't that wierd, depending on fwd/rwd the corresponding wheels can wear fast if you don't rotate them regulary

Left/right tho is abnormal

I suspect, because of inspection results I found ob the car, the tires were pretty worn but because the owner knew he was going to buy a different car, he bought some cheap used tires which were good enough to pass the inspection

[indigo coral]

front/rear is usually okay, but never do left/right different

(front/rear assuming theyre at least relatively similar)

[vital glen]

@stoic ledge if you just drive in Nascar, you want your car to steer left for you, duh

[shadow osprey]

@stoic ledge Bad alignment probably

@indigo coral for tire rotation? It depends mostly on the drive of the car and if the tires are directional or not

[magic arrow]

For those that care... (none lol) - I'm posting my video review of the 2020 GLE at 3pm EST tomorrow 😄

https://www.instagram.com/p/BtOC_Splh6u/

TBH it was weird AF saying 2020 GLE the whole time...

[indigo coral]

HmmMMMmm would it be stupid to pick up a '94 318i for 500$?

Aside from some minor front end damage, bumper only, its in good condition. Car is straight, interior is clean, 5spd manual.

[shadow osprey]

As long as you don't expect excellence

Hoonigan bought a 318i for $350 and it's now one of the most famous cars on the internet

[indigo coral]

I want to learn how to drive stick, I figured it'd be a good candidiate for that.

I've heard good things about bmw clutches in terms of ease of use

[shadow osprey]

I wouldn't worry too much about "ease of use" or how heavy it is or whatever

[indigo coral]

Only real caveat on their ad is that it needs a new fuel pump. Would be a good project I suppose

[shadow osprey]

The heavier the clutch, the buffer your left leg gets

[indigo coral]

It'd be a 'second car', since my RX is my daily driver.

[shadow osprey]

rx?

[indigo coral]

Lexus RX300

[shadow osprey]

ah

[indigo coral]

1999

It's a nice car but its not a sporty one.

[shadow osprey]

Like I said, as long as you're ok with fixing stuff, you can't go wrong with a 3 digit car

[indigo coral]

Fair enough. Now the hard part comes to convince my dad to allow it.

😛

[stoic ledge]

Just buy it, then tell them about it 😉

Jeej "snow"

[indigo coral]

Nice car 😃

[patent basalt]

Only car of those three I have left is the challenger lol charger is gone and the st was traded for an rs and traded back to an st 😂

[shadow osprey]

Why would you get rid of the RS

[patent basalt]

Rgb headlights because rgb everything

Head gasket issues and didn’t wanna deal with it have an f150 anyway don’t need an awd car

And I needed a smaller car lol my garage is pretty packed 😂

Fiesta st it was for a daily

[shadow osprey]

Oh you didn't say fiesta

Not that the size difference is that big

[stoic ledge]

Sells RS, keeps it as profile pic 😅

Fiesta is a lot smaller tho

Both inside and out

Not that a Focus is really big inside

And thnx @indigo coral 😄

I'm just wondering... Are those 4 spoke wheels in the Challenger ?

[shadow osprey]

The license plate looks photoshopped

[stoic ledge]

I was thinking the same, but it's also in the video

[shadow osprey]

Good news, my math was wrong

I might be able to buy another car as soon as April

[stoic ledge]

What are You going to buy ?

[shadow osprey]

Assuming I don't owe anything on taxes

Mustang, of course

[stoic ledge]

of course 😂

[shadow osprey]

I'll be building a drift car, and I need something affordable that can still put down 400+ without a motor swap

[stoic ledge]

Do you like driving into crowds ?

Ah that makes sense

[shadow osprey]

Wow never heard that one before. You're so original

[stoic ledge]

Thanks

[shadow osprey]

And yes

Yes I do

[stoic ledge]

[shadow osprey]

[stoic ledge]

Ok, but pls do it safe

[shadow osprey]

On my honor

[stoic ledge]

New/old/used/... ?

[shadow osprey]

Looking for an 05+

That's when they updated the 4.6L

I was originally going to go with an old foxbody (87-93) but those can really only take like low 400s on stock internals, and that's on boost and not destroying the throttle

Still want one though... lol

[stoic ledge]

I personally don't like the looks of a fox body but 400hp on boost isn't much for a v8 imho, so if that's all the engine can take... Better go for a newer Mustang instread

[shadow osprey]

Yeah. The older chassis is a decent bit lighter, and slightly shorter wheelbase, but the newer has a 3 link read as opposed to 4 link, which generally performs better.

Foxes are pretty hit or miss for most people

[stoic ledge]

Makes sense

Are you gonna remove interior pieces/trims/... to save weight ?

Anyway gotta hit the road, talk to you soon

[shadow osprey]

Drive safe

I’ll probably take it one step at a time. Don’t want to throw everything away all at once, but if I could get under 3000lbs dry that would be dope

Just so I can say it’s under 3000lbs lol

[stoic ledge]

Lol xD

Drill some holes in the pillars like they did in the fifties/sixties

[warm sparrow]

Cars are cool

[stoic ledge]

@warm sparrow I'm getting a deja vu here

[warm sparrow]

Nope

a deja vu lol

• dead *

And it's "déjà vu"

Hi, are you schizo ?

Oh ok

[stoic ledge]

I was too lazy to write the accents in déjà vu

[warm sparrow]

Well i like cars

[jovial mauve]

MK

I heared you where looking into a golf r

I have one

Buy pls

I might dip it in this color soon

[warm sparrow]

jsut buy this car it's much better

wait what? MK looking for a golf R? a student in NL looking for a golf R?

are you selling drug now MK?

[jovial mauve]

He is

Hea gonna buy mime

Mine

[stoic ledge]

Me buying a VW 😂 😂 Funny guy 😛

[fathom socket]

@stoic ledge okay, great 👍 glad I could help.
@delicate sinew that’s great. It could mean such an easy fix. When you drove back and forth you just dis-aligned the wheels. Get the car to an auto shop and they’ll do that for you. The good thing is it’s a easy and cheap fix. Anyway, if it’s not the case, then they could tell yah what’s actually wrong with the car. So your trip to the shop won’t be useless. Have my fingers crossed for yah 🤞

[delicate sinew]

Thanks man, appreciate the help 😃

[fathom socket]

No problem dude

[delicate sinew]

I'm going to take it in sometime today, hopefully they have an open spot for me

[fathom socket]

Glad I could help

[delicate sinew]

But I'm still going to wash my car first to see if it isn't snow stuck in the tires that's throwing off the alignment

[fathom socket]

Yeah. If you’re not sure they’re telling the truth about what’s wrong with your car, hit me up. If I know what they’re talking about I can help you. 😃

Sure, that’s a wise thing to do

[delicate sinew]

Sounds like a plan

Thank you once again! 😃

[patent basalt]

Not photoshop lol

Has a flip down plate frame I can fold it under the bumper for shows and such

[warm sparrow]

of course

"for shows"

and stuff

😏

these RGB lighs tho

[patent basalt]

Gotta have rgb lol

I haven’t driven it for months winter sucks lol

[stoic ledge]

R.I.P
