What? The model 3 doesn't have a screen on the steering wheel.
dense shard
Instrument cluster is nice.
serene jetty
I despise most modern interiors
they are too empty
and all these screens make it look like that tablets were lazily glued to the dash instead of actually being part of the design
modern interior design is fucking horrid
indigo coral
I don't mind stuck on screens tbh
It usually looks better than forcing them into the dash
And they're more accessible this way
There's a few bad ones ( new explorer )
But like the one in the Model 3 looks and works fa better than the one i. The model s
serene jetty
I also think that a physical spedometer/tachometer working together with digital screens looks far nicer
like a hybrid display system
all digital imo looks too flat, empty and lazy
indigo coral
Genesis G70 has that
Tho the screen is smol
I don't like digital clusters most of the time tbh
Tesla one is ok but like the new bmw one is horrid
serene jetty
but like I hate how basic manufacturers are making dashes and their displays
and how cheap and basic the interiors look
I hate this floating display shit, looks like glued tablets to a dash
indigo coral
serene jetty
and the other alternative being a screen coming out of the dash but morphed into it looks yuck too
it looks like a tablet in a hub
indigo coral
serene jetty
that dash looks good except that main screen
dense shard
I hate integrated instrument panels on the nav screen.
serene jetty
I hate how far up it comes out
indigo coral
I don't mind screens in cars but I'm in the huge minority
The point of that is so you don't have to look as far away from the road
dense shard
Honestly the height of the nav screens hasn't been an issue for me.

If I was left in a room with no responsibilities for a week, I could design a fucking way better dashboard than 90% of automakers today

My car is a Japanese model.

Or rather built in Japan.
serene jetty
no but the literal exact same as the car sold in japan, RHD and all
USDM corollas would have slight differences
and LHD
dense shard
The styling will be identical between JDM and USDM.
Only real difference on styling is the front emblem.
serene jetty
some models of Jap cars get horrific different styling for the US market

Different markets.
The Japanese companies put the effort in to cater to local markets.

because commodores

US had a rebadged Commodore for a few years.
Flopped hard.
Turns out the enthusiasts didn't want it.
serene jetty
blame GM for not fucking advertising it at all or offering the Ute or Wagon or any good trim levels

It was the V8 trim with all the goodies.

all GM did was brought the most basic ass V6 and V8 sedans and were dumbfounded

because its 100% a holden and not a chevy

serene jetty
I guess that explains why people are importing commodores to the USA and making LHD commodores to Australian spec
dense shard
That's news to me.
serene jetty
and rebadging SSes and G8s with holden bumpers and badges
some people importing utes and wagons
dense shard
Only if they're 25 years or older.
serene jetty
nope
dense shard
I guarantee you those people are far fewer in number.
serene jetty
people import the VE and VF gen utes and wagons and put the bodies on a G8/SS chassis

uhhhh

making it still technically a G8 or SS

the only difference is ths Australian body

The chassis is unibody
You can't swap bodies without swapping VINs.
And that stupid illegal.
indigo coral
^^^^
dense shard
Then tl;dr it for us.
indigo coral
You don't seem to understand US law tbh.
serene jetty
Indiana has a thing called state of body transfer
which allows a new vin to be applied to a car
which has had a body transfer
essentially a retitle
hello collorado plate
dense shard
That's one state.
serene jetty
Hello New York
dense shard
And importing, and transferring hardware to another car is difficult, legally sketchy, and then you have issues of registration and insurance.
Great, show us a few thousand.
And I'll admit it's common place.
Cause I've seen more Skylines in the US.
dense shard
That's not the same as road legal.
serene jetty
the aus cars were never meant to be driven on the roads as is
indigo coral
and this is all VERY sketchy
dense shard
...
serene jetty
they use the aus cars as parts cars for their bodies and interior parts to put on a G8/SS
dense shard
You can't use the bodies.
serene jetty
thats how he bloody does it though
dense shard
They're unibody. You would be literally VIN swapping, and that's literally illegal.
serene jetty
also VINs are still intact
dense shard
VINwiki story took a very shady route.
If it has a AUS vin, it can't be registered to US roads.
Unless it is 25 years or older.
Or has been federalized.
serene jetty
there are several cars in the US and were sold in the US with aus vins
there are USDM spec cars were made in aus
dense shard
Because they were likely federalized.
right
USDM spec
You can't sell ADM spec cars in the US.
Different standards.
serene jetty
AUDM
dense shard
whatever
serene jetty
also the US G8/SS vin remains
serene jetty
look idk but somehow there are loopholes and shit and several people have done this
and there are holden utes and wagons in the US
which are road legal with clean titles
so somehow they are doing it
and obviously there must be vins of the original G8/SS still intact
dense shard
That's so sketchy.
serene jetty
well its reality and its done there
dense shard
You can either rebuild the car from the frame up.
Including rewelding parts.
That is incredibly high effort.
serene jetty
a simple rebadge to put original holden badging on but now virginia

I can put JDM badges on my car as well.

also Torana in cali

That's over 25 years old.

im moving on from just commodores now
holden in general
I cant tell these plates but US
dense shard
Indiana's laws are lax it seems.
serene jetty
yes they are
dense shard
Not meant for this.
serene jetty
but its used for it
dense shard
Likely mean for conversion vans.
So to legalize a Ute in the US. You must have a preexisting car on the same platform, pay a guy to rebuild it from essentially the ground up, and then happen to be living in Indiana.
That's not exactly easy, cheap, or fast.
serene jetty

I'm just denying they're all that popular.

Okay.
I'm part of Toyota communities because I own a Corolla.
It's amusing to see how popular the new Corolla hatch is.
Yet I don't really see em in my area.
I'm just not a huge fan of GM or Ford these days.

and then I gotta toss the air/smog pump and then put block plates over the ACV valve
and block plate that pipe that comes out of the intake
then I'll be emissions free and have smoother idle, more power, and significantly better exhaust note
And since there's no good guides on how to do this crap, I might make a guide

@hardy viper the older models where best, plus they still get plenty of love in aus through people building full engine kits for them

the only way to fix the rattle on my exhaust is to just cut the catalytic converter out and sell it for scrap
the thing that makes the rattle is the cat heat shield, which you have to drop the exhaust to remove
may as well keep the cat off and put new pipe on instead

Or keep it in, and protect the environment.

The white is my cat, which is blown out somewhere under it's heat shield (which is why the shield rattles). The red are just holes that got blown out in the midpipe
white is the down pipe, which I hope I won't have to replace
red is possibly a resonator, but idk what it is for sure

In the uk the darklite went tits up
Its only fancy thing about it is it had this cool chromatic wrap on it
Shortly after the wrap started falling off so a recall had it removed
So now its just a black ds3 that cost a bit more from new
austere tusk
Lol. My DS5 got more power 😎
I'm part of the ds3 discord server even tho I got ds5
They a mad lot

I've driven a DS 5 once, it had a super high dashboard imho
Made it kinda hard to look out
austere tusk
Try raising the seat lol
stoic ledge
Couldn't really, or my head was too high to the sealing
austere tusk
Open the roof blind and you get another inch of clearance
stoic ledge
But then my head is 1cm away from a glass panel... Not really to happy with that xD
austere tusk
Nahh that's fiiine

I do adore the watch wristband styled leather if you know what I mean
austere tusk
We didnt get that
stoic ledge
austere tusk
We got ours second hand
stoic ledge
austere tusk
We were told it was top spec and the guy had the factory build it for him
No heated massage seats and just plain leather

Best visibility we have seen was in a C3 picasso courtesy car

That moment when linus and luke look at the ami in the WAN show but pronounce citroen wrong
Alan asks is you C5 H3+?
stoic ledge
Wait what? xD
stoic ledge
I don't have a Citroen xD
austere tusk
H3+ has an extra 6th sphere on the rear axle which helps take the load and if you have a sport button it makes the rear tighten up
O
Thought u said u have C5x7
They goood
U should get a Cx
stoic ledge
No car in the Netherlands is cheap xD
fathom socket
Lol
stoic ledge
Oof
austere tusk
Condition of cars varies but all less than €5k
950 for a decent one I think was the best I saw
stoic ledge
Ah yes I've seen them
austere tusk
Even of it's not a good one they are great fun to work on
stoic ledge
They do require quite some work
austere tusk
Only some
stoic ledge
I also don't really have the space for it
austere tusk
Y tho
stoic ledge
To get me to school every day
austere tusk
Or you could have a citroen to get you to school
stoic ledge
Cheap, reliable and safe
austere tusk
Far beyter

OOF

Not 40 year old ones which have been sitting for 20+ years

I wanted to trade mine in for a 2014 Insignia But it's too wide for our driveway to be able to walk past it properly
So I can't
:/

austere tusk
Shhhh

(yes, poor students buy 2014 Insignia's xD)
austere tusk
Only my 2cc ain't diesel
stoic ledge
Oof no, ask your buddy, Diesel here is a no-go here
austere tusk
C-quatte
*c-quatre
Diesel is far more economical
And I've been to holland and diesel was fine
Do you have to travel far to school?
normal temple
Yes, I travel approximately 10 mins
stoic ledge
No this is MK
austere tusk
AhhhHHHHH
stoic ledge
LPG is
A) Cheaper to tax
B) Cheaper to refuel
C) Cheaper to insure
Nope 0 charging points
stoic ledge
HAHAHAHAHA no thank you

austere tusk
Reliable old beasts them c5's are
Unless you are a knob driver
My dad blew the engine up on ours so I'm replacing it
stoic ledge
Oof
austere tusk
stoic ledge
Well tbh it's not really the buy price of which I'm worried, but when I have to pay that much to get it taxed and imsured and everything I can just as well buy a much newer car
austere tusk
But old citroens such as the C5 have hydro suspension
normal temple
Sounds like money
austere tusk
If anyone wants to know anything citroen hmu
normal temple
French + Technology usually means implosions
stoic ledge
Hydro is nice, but I prefer the newer model C5
But they all have extremely high mileage, or the bad 1.6 THP 150/156, or no Hydro
austere tusk
stoic ledge
Not bad

A Citroen... better?
austere tusk
Far so
stoic ledge
I'm actually very interested in this car
austere tusk
🤢
dense shard
I believe it.
dense shard
cool
stoic ledge
And it's in a nice trim, not too many miles, very acceptable price and it's from the 1st private owner: no company car so it's well looked after
dense shard
super nice
stoic ledge
I'm not allowed to buy it sadly: to wide for our driveway. Otherwise I would have bought it probably
dense shard
That's... wow
austere tusk
Interesting fact: finding a mustang in the uk is very rare. Any more than an EcoBoost engine is even more rare
dense shard
The Insignia isn't that wide.
austere tusk
You'd be surprised how little width changes amongst cars
stoic ledge
It's 5 inches wider than my current Corsa, leaving the path besides it just 28 inches wide. Which isn't a lot, especially since my parents have to go past it on a bike
dense shard
5 inches is pretty massive tbh.
stoic ledge
Nearly 80mm is it
Oof 37km on bikr
No thnx
Literally faster than public transport
dense shard
Up several steep hills on a bike... but only a couple of kilometers.
stoic ledge
But no
dense shard
Either way I'm just glad I'm out of school.
stoic ledge
Only 2 more years if everything goes the way I want it

I got GCSE's in may then into an apprenticeship with guess who?

That moment when you need a car but are stuck to the aixam coupe s

But that's before a bit of tinkering 😉

60 in the 'zuki.

I'm not sure I agree.
The engine my car was a gem.
Smooth and pretty good on power.
austere tusk
Maintenance and reliability just ain't good tho
The ignis is the worst I have to deal with
austere tusk
Still an ass to work on
dense shard
How so?
austere tusk
Sliced the back of my wrist multiple times trying to remove oil filter

Joking aside, my friend has a Galant VR-4 with that engine.
