we do lots of streaming
its also good to have unlimited data cap

It's understandable from their viewpoint though since it makes them way cheaper to develop and manufacture

cheapness shouldn't really be the goal in a Lamborghini/Bentley/Audi/Porsche

Not cheapness but it's a way for them to make cars more profitable without them being bad or anything

me over here trying to figure out how to use seafoam spray on the Prius
indigo coral
Rip
civic girder
I'm thinking I should try the spray. If it can loosen carbon, it would have a good shot at loosening the ceramic
Though, I'm not sure how much of the Seafoam-gas mix is really getting to the engine right now.
civic girder
I would go do the spray tomorrow, but the Prius is a hybrid. The engine just shuts off whenever it can, and you can't really rev it
normal temple
yikes
indigo coral
isn't there a mode that it always stays on?
civic girder
afaik, no
civic girder
well, the idea is that I apply seafoam spray like normal. and then Italian tune it while its smoking
civic girder
but how to apply seafoam if the computer won't let you rev it
normal temple
You realistically only need to rev it to 1500 rpm right
civic girder
just spraying it at a closed throttle plate and a motor that isn't spinning is useless
Yea, which I think I can do
but idk if the computer has a limit on how long it will let you
civic girder
lmao
fathom socket
@civic girder https://youtu.be/u6UeJXkzDW8
civic girder
but I don't know how to outsmart a computer
normal temple
I dunno honestly
fathom socket
Or, go with a Holley Dominator EFI
civic girder
I'll see if the engine stays revved in park when I hold the throttle
normal temple
does it rev in neutral
civic girder
I may also try manually applying throttle at the throttle body and see what that does
fathom socket
I run the Holloy Dominator on my 3rd gen Camaro
civic girder
no, no rev in neutral, only in park :galaxybrain:
normal temple
what
civic girder
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
normal temple
that's some big brain
civic girder
It also doesn't free rev

Ditch the stock computer

then spray

Go with an MSD self learning ECU

sounds highly unsafe

No tuning required

this is how you outsmart a computer

nah, carb is the only answer
normal temple
jank engineering
fathom socket
@civic girder Put it on jackstands.
civic girder
I'll see what I can do with how it currently functions
normal temple
manual carbon removal by removing the head
civic girder
might be able to free rev it with the trottle body
civic girder
if I make the throttle body open myself, why wouldn't it rev
normal temple
I was thinking you could disconnect the gauge cluster but its not like my car lmao
civic girder
I'm gonna try popping the hood and just holding open the throttle plate by hand
normal temple
on my car, if you wanna remove the speed limiter, you disconnect the gauge cluster or speed sensor LOL
or just cut the wire from the tach to the ECU
or get a tune
civic girder
It's a bone stock Prius and I am noob

Oh yeah, just get a stage 3 tune Prius

civic girder
the 3rd gen Prius makes 130hp iirc

but the 3rd gen has a 1.8L, I have the wimpy 1.5L

My dad's Chevy Cruze makes 167 HP

if you ever feel like you don't have any power

My dad's Mercedes makes 300 hp and a wack ton of torque

civic girder
remember that my RX-7 makes 100hp at 7k rpm, and like 10hp at 1500rpm

We're gonna tune it soon

I don't understand either, don't worry

especially nice for the RX-7 as I have to add oil as I drive

What year X5 is it?
normal temple
2006
normal temple
Surprisingly, my E30 takes the least amount of oil
fathom socket
It sounded damn good
normal temple
right next to the VR6
civic girder
I think the Prius takes less oil than the RX-7, ironically
civic girder
iirc the Prius has an oil capacity of like 3.9 quarts
normal temple
thing keeps pulling and pulling
civic girder
the RX-7 takes 4.4 quarts
normal temple
lol my E30 takes 5 quarts
fathom socket
My truck takes 12 quarts.
normal temple
oh
civic girder
but does your truck drink a quart for every 1k miles?
normal temple
I used to leak a quart every 1k miles
fathom socket
I installed a bigger oil pan for safety
civic girder
The RX-7 burns a quart for every 1k miles.
normal temple
Oil per gallon time
civic girder
But I usually top it off well before that
I typically add when it reaches down to the top of the cross hatches (on the dipstick). Which is 300mL
normal temple
Premix is a scam tbh, just run water, its basically the same thing
civic girder
I wonder what using 2 stroke in a regular 4 stroke car would do
normal temple
do people look at you weird when you're pre mixing or does no one care

lol
Inb4 people are like wait oil goes in the gas tank now?
Well time to top up
civic girder
I did have a guy come up to me one time
normal temple
was he like your car gun blow
civic girder
he pulled up in a beat to shit gen 1 Odyssey, was beige and had the back stuffed full of cargo
asked me what I was doing and if I had "injector problems"
civic girder
I told him my car was carbureted, so there were no injectors
normal temple
oh no
civic girder
he looked confused for a second
then he seemed to realize something
told me:
"I remember some guy told me back in the 90s that these cars [points at my car] had trouble starting from injector problems. So if yours is carbureted, you've got one of the good ones."
I am confused now, so I stand there awkwardly for second
normal temple
LMAO
civic girder
then he goes:
"Haven't seen one of these in years, good luck."
hops back in his Odyssey and takes off
normal temple

Meanwhile a dude walked up to me and asked how many miles I had on it
He's like "50k?"
I'm like nah, add 170k to that
civic girder
both times I got it towed, the tow truck guys asked me how many miles, and assumed the apex seals were blown
normal temple
his eyes opened right up kek
civic girder
the first tow truck guy's rotary knowledge was "if it's got 70k or higher the apex seals are broke and the car don't work"
normal temple
quality
civic girder
the second guy's was "if I'm towing it, apex seals must be broke, regardless of mileage"
normal temple
Q U A L I T Y
civic girder
like, the second guy rolls up
gets out
walks up to me
"apex seals finally went out, huh"
normal temple
lmao
civic girder
and I'm just like, lol wut
"She's just not getting fuel, don't know why, but that's why she needs a tow"
normal temple
I mean, my car has only been on the tow truck once and it wasn't even my fault
my brother ran my car out of gas
normal temple
Apex seals help deliver fuel C O N F I R M E D
New knowledge that Mazda never wanted you to know
normal temple
lmao
civic girder
speaking of running out of gas, my parents both got stranded in the Prius because they overestimated the fuel gauge
happened just once to each of them
normal temple
I don't let my tank get below a quarter for that reason
civic girder
they learned their lesson real quick
Yea, I think they fucked up the fuel level sender because of that too, lmao
normal temple
I don't really trust the car's range estimates either
civic girder
I fill up the Prius at 1/4 tank (according to the gauge). But judging amount of fuel added vs fuel tank capacity, I'm filling it at half a tank
normal temple
I never get my full 16 gallons in even when the gas light is on
I get 14 in at most
civic girder
big think
fathom socket
My truck has a 31.8 gallon tank, I once put 31.56 gallons it it.
normal temple
close boi
fathom socket
Yeah
civic girder
damn
normal temple
But no dice
civic girder
most I put in the RX-7 at the pump has been 12
never got to fill it more than that due to the initial fuel pump failure incident
normal temple
Rip
civic girder
I didn't realize the fuel pump was dead at first, so I had my friend go grab another gas can
normal temple
When my brother ran my car out of gas, I thought the fuel pump died
civic girder
after getting it to like 1/4 tank, I realized the fuel just wasn't going anywhere
civic girder
lmao
could be my friend who thought his Jetta had an alternator and charge issue
but it was actually the fuel pump failing
civic girder
his pump just straight died
normal temple
rip
civic girder
it had the same symptoms as the second fuel pump death in the RX-7
randomly cutting in and out
normal temple
Speaking of Jettas, I don't understand how my VR6 gets 30 mpg

When the alternator on my truck died, the whole truck just started acting all funny. All the dash lights were blinking and the wipers would turn on.

but he bought a new alternator and battery anyways ๐
normal temple
same
civic girder
and only then did he realize it was his fuel pump

normal temple
I got a new starter, battery, alternator, alternator harness, and ignition switch

oh, and his cooling system is fucked rn
normal temple
All to realize that it was rats that chewed wires under the windshield

Damn, don't buy a Jetta!

I'd have to call the campus security people if the car dies ๐
they have jump boxes
civic girder
yea
speaking of campus security and jump packs
I was investigating a problem on the RX-7 one day
and the campus security rolled up, grabbed their jump pack, and tried to hook up to me
and i was like, bro wtf
Somebody had called campus security saying I needed help starting my car
civic girder
when in reality I was just trying to figure out why the ignition was being fucky
and misfiring like a mofo
indigo coral
weird though because it started fine when I left to go TO school
civic girder
sounds like a dead battery
indigo coral
idk we'll see tomorrow
civic girder
is fine one time, fucked the next
indigo coral
its been sitting more than usual for hte last few days cause snow
so we'll see what happens tmrw

mfw my diehard battery started my car at 11 volts no problem lmao
indigo coral
i have jump cables in my trunk, and worst case i call security and they'll jump me

cause I bet your battery will be bad in the morning

I have 2 gauge jump cables in my truck.
civic girder
oh shit

those are big ass cables

I had a pair of 8 gauge cables catch on fire

I dunno how i'd park it tho because you have to have a sticker...
civic girder
oof
fathom socket
Damn 200+ amp alternator
indigo coral
tho ill only be at school for less than 1 hour
so
i bet they wouldn't even notice
civic girder
see, my school you have a tag you put on your center mirror
and you just register license plates to your tag
indigo coral
my question though is how they'd even tie the car to me
if its never been registered at my school
civic girder
and then you can just put the tag in whatever car, take it, and you're good
half the time I leave the tag in my other car, lmfao
indigo coral
aka if they gave me their fake tickets, what would happen if I just didn't pay it cause theyd have no clue that it was me
civic girder
true
indigo coral
i think its like 5 bucks if you park w/o a pass
but its 20$ to get a second pass
so
uh
civic girder
how do they know who it is if I don't have my tag
and how do they know if it's one of my cars if the tag is in some random ass car
indigo coral
but yeah I'd have to take the F250
my dads daily is the Taurus and my mom needs the Explorer to take my little brothers to school
civic girder
oof

its always nice when my teacher puts youtube links intead of some proprietary video player
so I can put things at 2x speed

Nice
i thought linus was going to do car reviews now
guess not
he talked about rotating thru cars, doing monthly car reviews or something but he's had just the volt for quite a while
civic girder
cars are expensive
indigo coral
linus is filthy rich
civic girder
and he knows he can't review cars without getting a rotary, and that scares him
kek
indigo coral
i saw some thing once that some guy added up the cost of all hsi tech shit
and it was like 14.7 million dollars
LOL.
hell the cameras are like 300k
(both of them)
now the validity of that number I don't know, but linus for sure is plenty rich
civic girder
the way he acts frugal is a meme thoo
indigo coral
yeah lol
complaining about using tape only once
lol
"well peel it off and use it again!"
civic girder
"this is expensive"
me crying as I can never afford said item
civic girder
oh yea
indigo coral
and taking apart one of their RED cameras
civic girder
with $10k.....I don't want to know how many rotaries I could have with that kind of money
indigo coral
1, plus enough money to maintain it for a year.
civic girder
FBs are probably going to get more expensive
civic girder
a lot of them are dying and getting scrapped
and FBs with LSD and rear disc are even rarer, cause everyone steals the rears to swap their peasant tier open diff rear drums
I have an S2 FB
indigo coral
rip
indigo coral
what about exterior
civic girder
the most beat part about it is the weather sealing and paint
rest is pretty clean in all honesty
indigo coral
nice!
I'm tempted to get my bumpers replaced/repainted + some touchups on the body
then my paint will be damn near perfect
civic girder
if you want to toss the car tho, probs not worth it
better off saving that cash to go towards your G70 or whatever
indigo coral
i dont want to toss it, but i'm concerned about expensive shit breaking
true
i would just order a replacement bumper already painted but I literally can't find it in desert bronze metallic
only like white and gray and stuff
civic girder
i dont want to toss it
me feeling the foreshadowy death of the Prius engine
indigo coral
lol
g70 really is the dream tho, that'd be a hell of a lot of fun
i wonder if i could con a genesis dealer into letting me drive one ๐ค
civic girder
If there's one thing about dream cars, it's not like meeting your heroes
indigo coral
wym
indigo coral
o, well if I'ma buy one i should probably test drive it ๐
civic girder
but getting your dream car is 100% worth
indigo coral
yeah
keep in mind though
the sportiest car I've driven is a Model 3
lol
so the G70 will be a world better than my RX either way
civic girder
the sportiest car I've driven is my RX-7
indigo coral
but yeah i kind of wonder if I could get them to let me drive
the Kia dealer near me flat out doesn't allow test drives of Stingers, but thats cause they have this "halo car" mentality
civic girder
unless you count driving a Miata down the street once or twice
but I think I would say my dream car is my FB, in all honesty
everything about it is just.....perfect
it's not in the condition I want it to be, yet
but even as it is, it's still perfect
indigo coral
but yeah since the G70 is the "lower end" Genesis, i wonder if theyd let me drive it uwu
civic girder
only one way to find out
civic girder
and find out if you actually want one
There are some cars I used to want, then I saw them in person and got turned off
indigo coral
ill probably love it, lol. Its got absolutely glowing reviews in terms of driving experience
I sat in it at a car show, the interior is real nice
civic girder
It better be better than the Stinger tho
indigo coral
it is
civic girder
as a less sporty model
civic girder
well, less sporty in terms of marketing
civic girder
that's not hard
indigo coral
lol
civic girder
the Stinger chassis isn't that great
my coworker who has one drives that thing to it's limits
I could basically feel it flexing
indigo coral
drive my RX
you'll get reacquainted as to what body roll feels like
like holy f*ck
civic girder
I could drive my friend's dad's 1989 Crown Vic
if you think your RX has body roll......
wait till you ride in that Vic
indigo coral
I almost wonder if mine is worse.
civic girder
X
indigo coral
It's really long travel, squishy suspension
cause grandma suv
and its tall and tippy
indigo coral
idk, either weay mines not sporty
civic girder
tall, ultra turbo soft suspension
indigo coral
while a G70 is a very competent sport sedan
civic girder
going even 15 around a normal 90 degree turn, that Vic will roll like nothing else
like, the rocker panels get inches from the ground
bumps do not exist
indigo coral
oof
indigo coral
makes my ass hurt after 4+ hours in my RX
civic girder
I bet you could drive non stop in that Vic and not feel any pain
indigo coral
my seat is kinda collapsed a bit, cause the previous owner was kinda fat and I'm only moderately fat lol
indigo coral
20y/o foam
civic girder
is it 100k? is it 200k? the world will never know
indigo coral
does it not have an odo?
indigo coral
..those exist?
indigo coral
thats really dumb
civic girder
the only way to know mileage is to have owned it since new, or knew the guy who owned it before
you have to count the times it rolls over
indigo coral
that one isnt loading for me either
civic girder
but yea, that was the Crown Vic's odo like 2 months ago
it rolled back to 0 back in early December iirc
indigo coral
wow thats an ugly gauge cluster
civic girder
welcome to 80s American car
indigo coral
oh yeah one thing I'm really glad about is that the G70 has proper gauges
instead of a damn screen
screen gauges are almost always terrible
indigo coral
civic girder
the "cluster" sucks a lot of big pp
indigo coral
not a bad cluster
civic girder
yea, that's better than a lot of modern cars
indigo coral
its a good balance of modern and classic
the center screen is fine, its nice to have info up there
but the real gauges are the best
and the no-start-stop crap
which is great
civic girder
start-stop is trash in non-hybrids, imo
indigo coral
yeah
civic girder
it's always sucky when the car doesn't even creep when you let off the brake
civic girder
no idea what that means
indigo coral
a really really good 8spd auto
civic girder
is it dct?
civic girder
dsg?
indigo coral
no its actually a really good trans
have heard that the engine is pretty decent too
not as good as an NA V8 in terms of linear power delivery and stuff, but pretty decent for a TT V6
indigo coral
if engineering explained likes the trans, its pretty damn good xD

It's a slammed shopping cart.
indigo coral
lmaooo

The whole camber thing is stupid
indigo coral
i admit, the ricer stuff can look decent. Usually it doesn't, but I've seen a few that are decent. Camber is never good though.

I still kinda wanna drop my car a bit. Nothing too radical but half an inch front and back would be nice.

if you want to drop your car I can recommend airlift performance, I got that on my car and I love it, it drives like a dream high or low, goes even higher than stock suspension was too if you need the clearence for something
dense shard
If I ever do mess with my car's suspension I'll either get RSR coilovers or wait for TRD to release something.
fathom socket
Ricers are the ones who ruin car shows
The rev their cars with the fart can exhaust
I have a profound hate for riced auto V6 Mustangs
There was a bunch of guys in them doing burnouts at a car show I was at
The police had to come and break it up.
civic girder
Brands of suspension parts is highly dependent on the car you have
Not all brands have parts for your car or parts compatible with your car
And even if they do, one brand that's godly on one car could be shit on another car
For Toyota, just get TRD. It's setup for the car and designed by Toyota
fathom socket
I had a friend call TRD a turd
civic girder
Lmao
dense shard
No TRD parts for the new Corolla... not yet at least.
Hopefully Toyota will follow up on this since they're trying to be cool and stuff again.
civic girder
They probably will release TRD parts for the Corolla eventually
Unless they are moving TRD away from the Corolla in favor of the Camry
dense shard
There are a few TRD parts.

But an intake and air filter aren't exactly great investments.
civic girder
If you want like 2hp, sounds great to me
Me lowering the RX-7:
"Hmmmm. What suspension components can I adapt from other cars?"
JK. You can get springs made for the SA/FB
But you can't get struts, lmao
civic spoke
Most cars comes with cold air intakes.
