I don't care about power. At all.
wet pine
I really do
civic girder
my definition of "nice car" is kinda skewed lmao
wet pine
If I get a C5 I will tune it for sure
I want a C7 mostly I think
But I will consider other ones cause price
civic girder
depends on what you want to do
get a cheap C5 and mod it, or get a spensive C7 and leave it stock
wet pine
Yeah
civic girder
imo, half the fun is getting something that needs a bit of work and fixing it up
you could also look at getting a wrecked C7 that doesn't have crazy damage and fixing it up
wet pine
I'm not really into fixing up cars
civic girder
Sounds like you want to just get a good C7 then
wet pine
Yeah, I'd rather
civic girder
Unless you found a hella clean C5, it'd need a bit of work
fathom socket
yeah, just a little work work.. like a good orc..
that would have lasted 200k more miles right?
the shoes needed some cushioning. some stability too..
fathom socket
@wet pine If you are over 6' 4", don't get a C7
Cause you'd have to replace the seat in it just to fit sit in it
stoic ledge
And what if you're exactly 6' 4"?
indigo coral
C5 is getting old. It's gonna most certainly need some work. If you can swing it, get a nicely kept C6 or just buy a C7
wet pine
@wet pine If you are over 6' 4", don't get a C7
I'm under 6'4"
I'm 6'2"
I'm not really tall
I like the C7 cause it has a pretty good amount of power, maybe tune it if it's really not that enough, RWD is good for having fun and stuff you know. It looks really nice from the outside, and I like the interior too.

c9 is better than the c8 tho

@dense shard those headlights are the LED Matrix
In Europe you can get 3 levels: halogen, Bi-LED and LED Matrix
normal temple
In nani land, you get dim, bright, and fuck you bright
stoic ledge
Lol well yes, but I meant headlight design on the Corolla xD
normal temple
😂
stoic ledge
It's parking light/city light, low beam and high beam, and that's the same around the globe as far as I know
normal temple
I want city lights
stoic ledge
Ah it's seperate in the E30
Yeah the small lights in the upper portion of the headlights, those are the city lights I meant xD
Probably also US vs EU
The city lights are also used as parking lights as far as I know in Europe, amber is for indicating only
And, we also don't have the sidemarkers
normal temple
Ye
stoic ledge
2 DRL lines vs 1 in Europe
Extrs projector is LED Matrix
Ah the line in Europe is DRL iirc
I think thats here as well
Or the DRL doesn't turn off, but they dim
I can't seem to find proper pics of the 3 different EU headlights
But none of them have the 2 J's
Both LEDs have 1 J, one version has a projector inside the J and one version has a projector besides the J (with a smaller J)
Bi-LED has the projector in the J (large J), LED Matrix had it besides the J (smaller J)

does it even have power windows?
civic girder
cough American automakers cough
indigo coral
tho id rather have a shitspec corolla vs a mitsubishi mirage

Top is base, middle is GR Sport whatever, low is Premium (top trim)
civic girder
all the shitspec American cars are basic as fuck
indigo coral
yeah
stoic ledge
Could be
civic girder
manual, power windows, shitty infotainment
indigo coral
tfw our explorer doesn't even have adaptive cruise
stoic ledge
indigo coral
ew
those wheels are reason enough to not buy that trim
if they made a fast corolla hatch I'd seriously consider buying it
indigo coral
They ought to make a corolla hatch that is a spiritual successor to the Focus RS
stoic ledge
€27.395 is the base hybrid, yes
(in the hatchback that is)
Yeah I know, that's why 95% IS the hybrid
indigo coral
i know of a car with awful emissions that would make MK's government cry themselves to sleep
stoic ledge
On higher trims the difference is even less, €1800
indigo coral
stoic ledge
Is it basically any car falcon? xD
indigo coral
the Lexus GS F
stoic ledge
They do, but nobody buys them
stoic ledge
Why get a Prius when you can get the Corolla
@indigo coral they probably welcome you, since they get 100k in taxes xD
stoic ledge
We can get every trim as a hybrid
stoic ledge
Actually, higher trims are hybrid only
Yeah GS F is noice
Corolla Premium 2.0 Hybrid: €40.745
(top trim with high power hybrid)
The only thing you can change on the Premium, is paint color
Well it includes or ridiculous taxes
indigo coral
tfw the GS F taxes are more than a brand new top spec corolla
stoic ledge
Lemme get the price without taxes
indigo coral
normal temple
My car is worth 33k USD in my dreams
indigo coral
damn, a specced out corolla is 26k USD here
stoic ledge
Do keep in mind it's the hybrid, top spec Corollas in the US get what, a 2.0?
indigo coral
~34k top spec for a Mazda 3 Hatch
stoic ledge
Well it's a 2.0 Hybrid, so basically same engine + battery + electric motors, which is more expensive ofc
indigo coral
53,275$ for my dream car 
stoic ledge
And Mazda 3: 2.0 
indigo coral
huh theryre not actually that wide, maybe its just the epic config graphics
oh
wait
theyre staggered
wow
225/40R19 up front
255/35R19 in back
stoic ledge
Probably, yes
indigo coral
can swap sides but not front/back yeah
hm
theyre expensive, but not as bad as I was expecting
stoic ledge
Can't swap sides usually
indigo coral
no?
indigo coral
ppl are saying that with modern tires you can swap sides
provided you don't have directional rims
idek
as long as you don't whack out alignment it'll be fine
stoic ledge
Hmmm ok
normal temple
More grip in the back means its more understeerey
Which is safer according to car manufacturers
indigo coral
it's rwd biased from what I can tell
normal temple
Plus more grip to put the power down on RWD
indigo coral
you can option either rwd or awd
loool @stoic ledge someone on craigslist wants 200$ for a radeon hd 5770 😂
stoic ledge
What a steal
normal temple
Bargain of the century
stoic ledge
Staggered looks cool too xD
civic girder
understeer is safer because its more predictable
and its easier to manage
when you begin to understeer, you let off the throttle, which is also safer
vs oversteer, which is hard to control and requires throttle to manage

as my me and my boat building crew like to say "safety is over rated"

(sorry im new to wokring on cars and stuff dnt really know much)
sorry if this question is dub
but isnt it a rule of thumb that under 110 is bad
indigo coral
Rip, apparently demand is weak for the Model Y
civic girder
@lethal garnet there is no "general rule of thumb" when speaking generally about engine compression. It's all dependent on the motor. Every motor has different bore and stroke and is setup for different compression numbers. Always check the manufacturer's manual to see what compression for the motor you have is supposed to be
normal temple
checks my compression
sees 69 psi on all cylinders
🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔
civic girder
For the 12A rotary engine in my RX-7, it should be 85 PSI. Which is exactly what I got.
lethal garnet
ohh okay
civic girder
That peak reading is a weird rotary thing
the main thing you care about when compression testing a rotary is the pulse
fair bronze
Nice
ebon haven
So I bought a thing
fossil panther
flamey boom
fathom socket
It's a P-Pump Cummins!!!
Specifically a 12 valve Cummins
@civic girder Those pressures are super low compared to my truck which gets about 300-320 PSI
@ebon haven is that a 5.9 Cummins?
civic girder
Welcome to rotary life
The rated compression is 85psi per rotor face
Lmao
Rotaries run off black magic, I swear
dense shard
I return
fathom socket
is very scared
ebon haven
@fathom socket haha yes it is bb
fathom socket
@ebon haven Look up the 5.9 Cummins killer dowl pin
ebon haven
i know
fathom socket
Okay
fathom socket
If you fix that, it's an amazing engine
I have a buddy that has an old first gen RAM with a Cummins that has over 1.3 million miles on it
ebon haven
thas why i bought it haha it has the p7100 pump on it too so its a golden 12 valve
fingers crossed
yeah thats the plan, its going in a 1987 chevy square body
fathom socket
The P-Pump is undoubtedly the best one
ebon haven
mhmmm
ebon haven
yeeee thx lol
fathom socket
You can tune the P-Pump for a lot of power
ebon haven
im very aware haha
fathom socket
Just don't do a black smoke tune
ebon haven
not a fan of wasting fuel
ebon haven
meh
fathom socket
My 600 WHP Duramax black smokes a tiny bit at wide open throttle
But that's as a result of the tune for extra power
ebon haven
meh is hard to tune out without lots of time on the dyno
fathom socket
Yep
I could push 800 HP out of my truck, but its my daily driver and tow rig
I need it to be reliable
And Duramax's are not cheap
The best price I saw for a stock 100k LBZ Duramax was $4000
ebon haven
yeah thats why i went 12 valve, a little cheaper to make reliable power
ebon haven
haha true
fathom socket
You can get a decent low mileage LS for less than $400
ebon haven
exactly
ebon haven
ohhh nice
ebon haven
meh we all have a rough one lying around
fathom socket
It reliably holds close to 1000 HP
fathom socket
I've read about stock LS1 6.0's making 1500 HP on completely stock internals before they blow up
Naturally it's a rod that lets go

anyone know how much reliable bhp you could get out the Subaru outback 2.0d? (with exhaust, intercooler, intake and remap). Looking a 4wd car to spend some time working on

It's a flat four right?

fathom socket
Tru
hexed arrow
guess ill be looking at the 250~300 bhp region if i get a slightly bigger turbo
ebon haven
rip head gasket at anything over 200bhp
civic girder
yea, Subarus are as infamous for eating headgaskets as rotaries are for spitting out apex seals
leave it stock, a Subie can probs go almost 200k. But the moment you start pushing power, RIP compression
same thing with rotaries, tbh. Though they are more finicky
turbo rotaries blow up all the time
na can run for a long ass time as long as you premix and keep out the carbon
It's also been unscientifically/unofficially proven that carbureted rotaries are the most reliable.
a stock 12A is not likely to spit out seals, its more likely to leak all its oil and die that way
stoic ledge

civic girder
Its a Subaru, and its a boxer
stoic ledge
D a.k.a diesel
It's a boxer diesel, yes
Doesn't mean it has the same issues as a regular gas boxer
civic girder
If/when I get a Subaru of any kind, first thing I do is change the headgaskets
fathom socket
thats the first thing i do to every car i buy
and a timing belt and water pump if its internal
My battery cells are burning
civic girder
most cars don't need a head gasket, unless its high miles
if its a timing belt, then yea that's good to change early
water pump is almost more dependent on the motor itself
some motors have issues, some don't

Any ford owners here have/had problems with spark plugs causing misfires?
civic girder
Not personally, but I've seen it happen
especially those stupid long boi spark plugs on some of the older F-150s
stoic ledge
Not the coils?
civic girder
I'd go to a local mom and pop shop
desert glen
I hope its not the coils
civic girder
dealers charge up the ass on stupid basic shit
coils usually aren't expensive
unless you have some really weird special coils
desert glen
Yeah, but I does mean no car for a bit
civic girder
depends
the dealer should have some in stock
a third party shop might not have them in stock
desert glen
I’m still under dealer warranty, which isn’t a problem, but its a chrysler dealer

Yep
civic girder
pray they don't fuck it up or misdiagnose it
stoic ledge
Coils are ez to replace
civic girder
^
stoic ledge
Mine has a coil pack with 4 connected, 1 breaks = replace them all 
civic girder
I replaced the coils on my RX-7 in like 2 minutes
The Prius coils are a bit more involved, but that's only cause you have to move shit out of the way
@stoic ledge that's why individual coils are better
one breaks, replace just that coil
civic girder
civic girder
Actual quote from me when the RX-7 eventually breaks
civic girder
Get another Volvo sometime
desert glen
I might
stoic ledge
Get the 5-cyl V50
civic girder
Wow, the new coils on the RX-7 are real nice
It's not missing like crazy while motor is cold anymore
stoic ledge
OOF
civic girder
Well thats good honestly
Means that it only did that because of the old as fuck coils and so was an ignition problem

v50? did they do a D524T2?

so, is horrible to turn, and backing up is no no
so got me a new/used to swap ut.
or if that not work do a Kia sportage diff swap
just bolt in 😄

I probably will keep the drums and open diff
This is just a street cruiser

Idk, the FB discord I'm in say the drums are actually better on the street
civic girder
Idk really
dim snow
if it works, dont fix it
civic girder
Pretty much
What I need to get done is exhaust and brake master cylinder
And find out why there's a clank coming from the rear when I am braking
civic girder
It's mainly when the brakes are cold. When I brake, there's a consistent clank that seems to occur Everytime the wheel makes a full rotation
dim snow
loose blakepads?
dim snow
hand break?
civic girder
Maybe
I know the passenger side cable is snapped
But what's really weird is that the sound comes from driver's side I think. And only when braking
And seems to go away when I brake harder
dim snow
new drums you said?
civic girder
Yea. New drums, shoes, wheel cylinders, and springs
dim snow
thats a good plan.
i gonna take my out form winter dormant soon.
fire it up soon as temp is over freezing

I drove mine thouhought most of the winter here

And getting underspray regularly just in case
She started and handled the cold pretty well
dim snow
can not do that here.
salt everywhere, the bad jap-metal is not made for this
civic girder
Oof
We have had more mild Winters recently, so it's not as bad
Plus my car is undercoated, so rust isn't as bad
civic girder
It's held up well, but needs to get peeled up behind the front wheels so the surface rust can be fixed. Then redo the undercoat in that spot and get mudflaps for the front wheels so it doesn't happen again

@velvet mirage but your v8 would do nise whit a sniper
civic girder
so are na V8s of large displacement and of American make
civic girder
Hopefully my carb decides that I set the tune correctly. I've been having troubles too rich a mix lately
velvet mirage
@dim snow well while rover v8s are cheap it seems wrong to put that in a ford plus this engine is from basil green, so has historical significance to the Capri,
velvet mirage
Used to have a rotary compression tester that printed it out on paper as it did it for each of the 3
velvet mirage
They have digital ones now of corse haha
velvet mirage
Yeh my dad used to work at a Mazda garage that’s why we had it
civic girder
Vs $20 basic piston tester that gives you close enough numbers
dim snow
yeah, i just do it manual, and you can hear the differens when cranckin with one sparkplug installed
civic girder
One day I'll probably get a special rotary tester
velvet mirage
Not going to work is it it just holds the highest so if you have the first one up and 2 and 3 are down how you going to no unless you are there holding the button down
civic girder
When I have 2,3, maybe even 4 rotary cars

indigo coral
A redline a day keeps the rod knock at bay
civic girder
Lmao
indigo coral
I swear that my car hates sitting more than any car I've ever driven
civic girder
S l u d g e
normal temple
Yes I do wonder if I have a bad HG because I'm not eating coolant but see milkshake on short drives
normal temple
Compression test would prove it, maybe I should do it idk
stoic ledge
@normal temple stop doing short trips to McDonald's to get a milkshake, that might fix it
indigo coral
civic girder
And it's not like a rotary where you have to rebuild the whole damn motor when the comp is low
indigo coral
one side but the other half was similar
normal temple
That's a tasty engine
civic girder
What if falcon secretly only did the vcg on one side
indigo coral
Doing vcg on that car was a right pain in the ass
civic girder
Yea
indigo coral
whole intake comes off
indigo coral
no
normal temple
LUL
civic girder
I'm joking
indigo coral
normal temple
Imagine working on a transverse V6
indigo coral
Back one
civic girder
But it's a good meme
normal temple
VR6 gang, ez spark plugs for life
indigo coral
It's a worn engine, but not destroyed
civic girder
Anything transverse is a pain
normal temple
What oil are you running lol
civic girder
That's good for a toyota
indigo coral
whatever they have at Costco
civic girder
Like, really good
normal temple
oh
indigo coral
Mobil1 i think
civic girder
Toyotas are almost as bad as rotaries in oil consumption
indigo coral
That's not a definitive metric, but the box from Costco came in a bunch of 1 quart bottles and I've used about 1 since i changed oil
And am at just over 4k miles
normal temple
You aren't burning as much as I did with mobil 1
indigo coral
I'm using full synthetic
civic girder
I just avoid Mobil 1
indigo coral
dino oil = death sentence for this motor
civic girder
Lmao
normal temple
The Merc burnt 4 quarts of Mobil 1 in 1000 miles on the trip to California
normal temple
Switched to Rotella and burnt nothing on the same trip to California
civic girder
I'm pretty sure this is the first time the Prius has run synthetic it's entire life
dim snow
lol
normal temple
Baited
stoic ledge
4 quarts @1k mikes? YIKES
normal temple
yes
civic girder
Yea, the LMG bot is notorious for doing that @dim snow
stoic ledge
How
normal temple
It was 100 degrees outside and we were on mountains with the AC
dim snow
just reffering to the redline bip lol
civic girder
My redline buzzer doesn't work :(
indigo coral
Guy that posted that said he drained out half a gallon before taking the pic
normal temple
My redline is just WAP WAP WAP
stoic ledge
I got banned for posting an emote, so don't worry xD
indigo coral
from the top of the motor
dim snow
no.. that the best soud ever.
normal temple
I'm running dino oil for my E30 yeet
stoic ledge
My redline buzzer doesn't work :(
Why is there a redline buzzer?
civic girder
Rotary
normal temple
Switching to Castrol GTX 20w50 next change wooooo
civic girder
So smooth you barely notice you're at redline
indigo coral
oof
civic girder
So they put a buzzer to remind you
stoic ledge
Bwah you'll hear it
civic girder
But mine doesn't work
indigo coral
ah yes the smooth silent luxury car. The RX7
normal temple
Yes
indigo coral
civic girder
It's a quirk of the cars that there's a buzzer
civic girder
I wish I could experience it, but im gonna have to tear my dash apart to see why it doesn't work
indigo coral
I've got a rattle in my dash and it drives me slightly insane
civic girder
Lol
stoic ledge
Nice quirk, I like it
indigo coral
My car is relatively quiet when driving
Somewhat.
Not as quiet as a modern RX tho
stoic ledge
My cars.... Is just as quiet as any other small car. So not really
civic girder
And Jesus Christ my exhaust needs to get done
The coins in my center console rattle so god damn much because of the leaks
stoic ledge
Coins
fair bronze
Just rev more and you won't hear it anymore
civic girder
Cruising at 40mph in 4th at 3k rpm, coins rattling and bouncing, chassis vibrating
It's awful
indigo coral
Mine leaks :p
civic girder
Can't hear the exhaust pops over the vibration in the chassis
civic girder
And the fucking cat heatshield rattles horrible too
normal temple
No salt gang
desert glen
Shoulda bought an ST
normal temple
I don't like blown shifters
civic girder
But I've got like 4 holes in my midpipe, the cat is clogged and has like 2 or 3 holes in it
normal temple
Ah, that'll get you some good cash back
civic girder
I'll probably get like $100 out of the cat. That means itll only cost like $200 to get the shit I need
But maybe I'll get more than $100 back, which would be nice
civic girder
All I know is that the pre-silencer costs $300 and I need like 4 ft (to be safe) of thick wall pipe
And assuming I don't need to make any bends, it'll just be cutting a couple flanges off the midpipe, welding them to the new pipe, and welding the presilencer into the pipe, then bolting it up with fresh gaskets
Then get a nice muffler later on
desert glen
I really wanna get a new exhaust on my focus but not sound like rice
civic girder
All you have to do is not straight pipe it
stoic ledge
Remove the silencer 🙃
civic girder
Have a resonator and a muffler
normal temple
Have 6 resonators and no muffler
civic girder
That keeps the noise down so you're not ricey, but if you get the right shit it'll still be loud and sound good
civic girder
Big brain
stoic ledge
I don't always agree with Tesla, but uhm.... Duh? 😝 What did they expect
indigo coral
yeah I have no issue with them voiding his warranty.
that was incredibly stupid on their part
desert glen
https://youtu.be/Nb3Gzvf-cAM sounds alright
civic girder
@desert glen doesn't sound right for an i4
It sounds lifeless and almost like a straight piped V6
Well I'm gonna go out for a drive again
stoic ledge
That makes you look like VTEC Civic dudes slamming through the gears sounding like a racecar going 20mph
Don't
stoic ledge
This is cool
indigo coral
that sounds shockingly pretty good
stoic ledge
Yes, I Know
Volvo: yes, let's make a car you can get with a 1.6 diesel or a 4.4 Yamaha V8
stoic ledge
Doesn't really sound like anything tho
But thats5 basically with all engines these days
indigo coral
That doesn't necessarily dissuade me from wanting one tho
It's kind of a sleeper
Sort of
Well not really
The sport trim has the 19in rims
stoic ledge
If I'd get one, nobody knows what is it
indigo coral
Nobody knows about Genesis here either
But it's kinda obviously a sports car
staggered tires, big rims, etc
stoic ledge
Less people know about it here
indigo coral
That's cause they dont sell it there lol
indigo coral
here itd prob be a cop magnet
Lol
Course I already have a cop magnet (for whatever reason)
stoic ledge
RX 300 is on top of the cops list ofcourse
indigo coral
idek why
stoic ledge
Especially in brown
indigo coral
I get followed all the time
stoic ledge
Only speed maniacs drive them
indigo coral
like they pull out and follow me to wherever I'm going
all. The. Time.
I don't even drive like a loon normally
Maybe 5 over but not much beyond that
stoic ledge
normally
stoic ledge
I've done 30mph over the other day
Huh wait what
stoic ledge
OOF
indigo coral
they virtually never do tho
stoic ledge
Nah they won't give a reckless driving ticket for going 30mph too fast on an empty highway at 2AM
They can give you a big speeding ticket
stoic ledge
But the section between the Belgium and Dutch border... There are no cops xD
175km/h in a 120km/h
stoic ledge
108mph in a 75mph zone
indigo coral
My car probavly doesn't even go that fast
stoic ledge
They have to stop you before the border, so X doubt
indigo coral
It's rated at 112 but I bet some horses have escaped thru the years
stoic ledge
83hp can get it up to 112hp, you have over double
indigo coral
And a 4 speed
stoic ledge
But also twice the weight, aero and 4sp auto
stoic ledge
Inb4 a Corsa can outrun a Lexus SUV
indigo coral
Easily
I bet yours would win in a drag race too
in practice
In theory mines 8.8 but that's a fat lie
Maybe rolling downhill
stoic ledge
Bwah no I think you might win that
stoic ledge
That's Foxy, mines around 13
With a good start
Shifting at 4000 or 6500rpm doesn't change a thing tho xD
civic girder
civic girder
you don't want to have a run-in with anything in this car
stoic ledge
I don't want to have a run-in with any car tbh

Has anyone seen the Peugeot 508 GT line I want to buy one

that must be rear engine? i don't see an opening for the radiator
civic girder
I've driven a Willys
that thing looks like it would snap in half if it tried to go on a gravel road lmao

The German thingie didn't fare well.
stoic ledge
@solemn atlas Sure I've seen one, looks nice
@dense shard no not a Kübelwagen, this is a Kübelwagen:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f3/VW_Kuebelwagen_1.jpg
It's a Type 181

Oh oops

fluid stream
now i sent this, i have a small problem with it, the rear tire is kind of.. tucked? into the rim
like the entire tire is good apart from like one part where it goes further in and makes the ride extremely bumpy
letting it go to 0 and then overinflating doesnt help either
stoic ledge
🤔
fathom socket
@stoic ledge Wanna race against my van?
stoic ledge
@fathom socket the answer to that question depends on the van in question 😛
jagged coyote
it's gonna be a sleeper with a 1000hp v8
fathom socket
Nah
I'm Conradish006 BTW
It's a 2006 Chevrolet Express 3500 with a 300 HP 6.0L V8
It has decent power for a 6700lb van
It has an LS
So, I could make it have 1000 HP
||I do have that turbo kit laying around||
@stoic ledge I'll import your car and build the shit out of it for you
You're gonna need some hella large drag slicks for the front
stoic ledge
😂 😂 😂
You can better start with an OPC/VXR, starts with 2.5x the horsepower
Tune it to 400
Might stand a chance by then
Like this
stoic ledge
With my 1.2? xD

As I ad many of my ricer brothers like to say
Slap a turbo and a big ol' wang in that

@stoic ledge It's easy, ricer mods add at least 700 HP

stickers add HP
