@stoic ledge Depends on type. If you have copper plugs, they'll probs fail around 30k miles

stoic ledge May 21, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

Uhm idk which one, but LPG has a weird effect on them so they wear out faster

#

I change them every other year

civic girder May 21, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

ah

#

I'd just get copper plugs if you can

#

cheaper that way

#

the good plugs cost more and if you're killing them faster there's no reason to waste cash

#

dunno... Teslas have cheated on their owners in the past.

#

Also according to Musk the FSD package will be worth 100k when it is finally released.

#

So it will be worth about 200% of the car's value. Pogey

#

And just because you say your car is an appreciating asset doesn't make it true.

civic spoke May 21, 2020, 7:43 PM

#

A big thing about full self driving, is that in order for me to actually use it.

#

Then Tesla would have to take any kind of liability in case of an accident.

dense shard May 21, 2020, 7:54 PM

That and in order for you to use it it needs to actually be fully released and be approved by the government.

Does anyone know if the auto start/stop function on new Fords kill the starter?

#

My gasoline engine is turning off at stop lights

civic girder May 21, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

I think that the starter might die faster than normal, but should still last at least 100k miles before it dies

#

if it is a hybrid car, you don't need to worry about the starter at all (because there is no traditional starter)

#

@woeful marsh is your car a hybrid?

woeful marsh May 21, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

Not a hybrid its gas

dense shard May 21, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

No it won't kill the starter.

#

Automakers tend to design the car with stop/start in mind. So the starter should be beefier and able to take the extra load.

civic girder May 22, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

@crisp jolt I feel. I'll ask them, and then they give me a weird look cause they have no idea wtf I'm talking about

#

@gray kestrel its kind of like a bootleg Initial D with even less character development and the entire show revolves around a psychological draw to speeding on the highway at night. The characters always seemed half baked at best

gray kestrel May 22, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

@civic girder Wangan Midnight is more about the cars than the characters. I never liked comparing it to Initial D(I really like both); Initial D is more about characters and technique, while Wangan is more about the tuning, and the cars themselves. Two completely different, but great, car racing animes.

civic girder May 22, 2020, 2:39 PM

#

I never got any inkling of Wangan being about the cars

crisp jolt May 22, 2020, 2:39 PM

It might help if I take a photo

I was always confused about what was the purpose of the show

gray kestrel May 22, 2020, 2:39 PM

#

I never got any inkling of Wangan being about the cars
Exactly how many episodes have you watched? One?

civic girder May 22, 2020, 2:40 PM

#

Uh, I watched like the first half of the show and a few videos of clips from the show from after that point

#

Got bored cause it seemed pointless

#

There never seemed to be any end goal

gray kestrel May 22, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

The first half isn't exactly the best, especially ep 7. I'll agree w/ that. But as you progress from ep 10 onwards, it's a stellar show

civic girder May 22, 2020, 2:42 PM

#

Idk, I didn't think it was very good at all

#

Watching clips from ep 20+ didn't give me a reason to go back

gray kestrel May 22, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

There never seemed to be any end goal
That's because tuning is by nature never ending. There'll always be something that isn't fixed, something that needs to be revised. Clips don't show the entire story IMO

civic girder May 22, 2020, 2:44 PM

#

A story with no end goal is pointless and boring lmao

gray kestrel May 22, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

The end goal of wangan, at least IMHO, is about getting the car/s to run at their best

#

That's what the finale talked abt

civic girder May 22, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

Like, I saw a 10-15 minute video combining clips from varying episodes regarding the FC. Shit was boring as fuck.
"I want this FC because nostalgia boner and unexplainable emotions" was what I got from that

gray kestrel May 22, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

That proves my point of clips not showing the whole story

#

To understand why Kijima wanted the FC, you'd have to follow the story

#

Also, have you ever noticed how much plot armor initial D has? When has Takumi ever lost?

civic girder May 22, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

The clips showed scenes that talked about how it was a car that he helped tune in the past or whatever

#

But it still didn't really make sense

gray kestrel May 22, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

To understand why Kijima wanted the FC, you'd have to follow the story
^^

civic girder May 22, 2020, 2:48 PM

I guess there's something I missed in the filler not shown in clips

gray kestrel May 22, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

Definitely

civic girder May 22, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

See the difference between Initial D and Wangan is that Initial D has energy and character development. Watching Wangan makes me want to fall asleep, but watching Initial D is like riding a hype train

#

I won't deny that Takumi has hella plot armor

gray kestrel May 22, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

At least you're not that initial D fanboy

#

Akio loses multiple times over the series

#

He wins only through his own skill, unlike Takumi

#

Takumi is a mixture of skill and plot armor

civic girder May 22, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

Well, Takumi won through skill

#

But he never lost cause plot armor

gray kestrel May 22, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

Also, the fact that Wangan was actually a real thing makes it interesting

#

Like the Mid Night Club actually existed in real life, and they drove JDM tuners down the tokyo bayshore route at 200 mph

civic girder May 22, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

Touge drifting was a real thing as well

Afaik, all the mountains in Initial D are real, just with different names

Now they're just expensive cause of what some people call 'Takumi tax'

civic girder May 22, 2020, 3:01 PM

FD RX-7 and FC RX-7 also have a popularity tax on them

gray kestrel May 22, 2020, 3:02 PM

#

FC not so much

#

There are some cheap FCs here and there

#

Not very common

#

But they exist

civic girder May 22, 2020, 3:03 PM

#

FC not as much yes, because it didn't have a huge role in Initial D and in the grand scheme Initial D is not mainstream compared to fast and furious

gray kestrel May 22, 2020, 3:03 PM

#

Cheap FDs though, are a different story....

civic girder May 22, 2020, 3:03 PM

2020 BMW 840i | The Price Is NOT Right

We review on the 2020 BMW 840i Coupe to discuss the good and bad of a car with a nearly 100k price tag. The market of 100k coupes is small however, there are some crazy examples like the Jaguar F Type, Porsche 911, Lexus LC500, and Mercedes AMG. There is tech, carbon and a BMW...

bloated

like a catfish

civic spoke May 22, 2020, 5:18 PM

8 series actually looks better in person.

#

I probably wouldn't mind the 840i. I'm a sucker for inline 6 engines.

dense shard May 22, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

Get a 3 series.

#

It'll look the same inside anyway.

#

Or a Z4... or a Supra.

civic spoke May 22, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

Man. I wished you could get more BMW's with a manual.

#

So few model/engines that have the manual option.

indigo coral May 22, 2020, 5:23 PM

#

The new 8 series look nice and I see lots of them but I kind of wonder why bmw made it

dense shard May 22, 2020, 5:23 PM

#

Carry over diesels, M-series... and that's it.

#

I imagine Toyota has more manual options at this point in time.

civic spoke May 22, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

For the 3 series wagon, then you can only get a manual with the 320d.

#

Same with the sedan. Oof.

#

Oh, wait. I was wrong. It wasn't the 320d. It was the 318d.

#

So 150 hp, instead of the 190 you get in the 320d 😦

stoic ledge May 22, 2020, 5:38 PM

I want a more powerful gas 3er wagon with a manual Pogey

#

But there aren't any

#

GWmythicalFeelsSadMan

dense shard May 22, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

G80 did away with manuals.

#

Only reason the diesels have manuals is apparently the engines are carryovers from last generation.

#

BMW has become lame.

#

what a shame

stoic ledge May 22, 2020, 5:40 PM

Then I'd probably just get a V60 T6/T8 or whatever, just as fast or even faster, less expensive by a lot and maybe even better looking

#

Pogey

It's not like BMW is the most reliable brand in the world

I don't think Volvo is less reliable

Anything under 10 seconds in most cars is adequate.

indigo coral May 22, 2020, 5:44 PM

Why would you buy a sport sedan with only like 200hp tho

#

may as well buy a more mundane car for less money

dense shard May 22, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

Because I want a luxury car with a manual.

indigo coral May 22, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

Don't they still sell an accord manual?

dense shard May 22, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

And the 2.0T makes 250 horsepower.

#

The Accord isn't luxury.

#

And apparently it has some quality and dynamic issues.

#

It's fast by virtue of good tires, not good tuning.

indigo coral May 22, 2020, 5:45 PM

if you're talking like a high end storied brand, neither is Genesis

Luxury is luxury.

Btw, sounds like the next Stinger will likely be electric

Venza is either a wagon or a crossover.

I get Toyota's point of view.

But... it's kind of not a wagon. It's a bit too... uhhhhh tall.

The seating position implies crossover or van.

Since it's too short for a wagon, and tall, and related to the RX, I say it's a CUV

Did your dog even fit in the trunk?

#

I cannot imagine a lab fitting in a Supra trunk.

#

I must watch this video now.

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

Already seen your Supra video GWseremePeepoGGERS

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

and I should edit and upload a new video myself.

#

I have only one issue with my Corolla.

#

Horrific buffeting with the rear windows down.

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

👀

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

Like... there's this weird pressure wave that just destroys me each time I try.

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

My rear windows can't even open, so mines perfect there KEKW

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

lol

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

As in just the rear windows?

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

yes

vapid shadow May 23, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

My sister's Malibu has the same buffeting issue

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

Yeah I've never had sedan that didn't do that, but I very rarely need to just open the rear windows

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

downside of modern car design.

vapid shadow May 23, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

The supra is pretty

#

New one

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

Apparently the Supra also has buffeting.

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

I was excited that they were coming out as I was buying a new car, then I saw the price

#

Ooof

vapid shadow May 23, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

What do we think of the wing on the rocket bunny wide body (might be the other brand I'm not sure)

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

Price is pretty on point for what to expect out of the new Supra.

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

It's not unreasonable

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

Only €84k KEKW

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

Higher than I expected for a toyota branded car that isn't a landy, and with less utility

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

Iirc it's actually even cheaper than the Mk4 when you factor in inflation

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

Sports cars aren't mean to be utilitarian.

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

Cars can be both, but yeah

vapid shadow May 23, 2020, 6:27 PM

Compromised then.

How about the AMG minivan

we had that

R63 AMG

R AMG?

vapid shadow May 23, 2020, 6:29 PM

How was it?

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

It was a mercedes minivan.

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

Very fancy minivan tho

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:31 PM

If I wanted to carry stuff I'd buy a ute, if I wanted to carry people I'd buy a forester

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:31 PM

#

Or a Ford S-Max, had the 2.5 5-cyl Volvo Turbo GWseremePeepoGGERS

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:31 PM

#

But I'm a little salty on opel following the most recent commodore

vapid shadow May 23, 2020, 6:31 PM

Or a V70R

But I'm a little salty on opel following the most recent commodore
Don't be salty on Opel, be salty at GM :)

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

GM damn near killed every division they had... or did.

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

That too, owning an early V6 commodore killed my faith in the idea of a parts bin car

vapid shadow May 23, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

You know what they say about general motors Europe, their the general motors of europe

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:33 PM

#

GM damn near killed every division they had... or did.
Opel loosing money for Europe 20 years long, under PSA back at Profit within 1.5 year 😂

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:33 PM

#

They've more or less left Europe after they sold Opel.

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:33 PM

#

There are no GM cars sold officially in Europe now

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

not even Cadillac?

vapid shadow May 23, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

Good, one loss continent that has to deal with that God awful company

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

Speaking of which. US is 100% getting a spicy Toyota hatchback.

#

Likely gonna be the Corolla GR.

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

not even Cadillac?
I don't think so, let me check

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

Holden was their road in here and it's looking like they'll be phasing out completely over the next few years

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

Cadillac Hasn't registered any car this year or last year, so I don't think so

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

Currently (2020), General Motors's European operations are conducted by Cadillac Europe GmbH

#

So basically luxury or Corvette.

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

Have prices for GM cars gone up by 30%?

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

In the US?

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

Nah, Europe

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

Modern American car-errrr trucks aren't cheap.

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

When they announced Holden was packing in all of them got more expensive overnight

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

Cadillac website is still a thing, but they haven't sold any in 🇳🇱

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:37 PM

yay dealer markup

Theres an R63 that lives in my town

one of like 39 in the whole US

vapid shadow May 23, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

See, even if you are high(I mean Dutch) they aren't good

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

an MPV Mercedes has never been very popular.

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

Don't think any GM Opel is still sold in Europe besides the Insignia, but GM actual has to pay Opel to sell those as a Buick/Holden so GM is discontinued them/will to (Opel will still sell it)

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

Didn't help it was kind of not as good as a Honda or Toyota.

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

Lol never been high in my life

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

Haven't checked dealers actually, just mean second hand, now that they definitely definitely won't be making more supercharged 6.2L luxury sedans

indigo coral May 23, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

yeah but it sounds good

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

second hand, lol

indigo coral May 23, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

And a 500hp minivan is cool

vapid shadow May 23, 2020, 6:38 PM

You just naturally are if you are Dutch

How many drunken fist fights have you had

This applies to the US and Australia.

Me? 0, I'm fun when I'm tipsy

Ah

Oh no, you need to be high MK.

uses judo skillz

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

Wait... isn't Falcon in a state where weed is legal? 🤔

vapid shadow May 23, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

Since I'm from Illinois I need to sell a Senate seat

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:40 PM

Idk what states are

vapid shadow May 23, 2020, 6:40 PM

It's legal where I am

indigo coral May 23, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

yes its legal here

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:41 PM

Oof

indigo coral May 23, 2020, 6:41 PM

we were one of the two inital states to legalize it

Cool Dad states

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:43 PM

Pogey

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

I should mod my car.

#

Get one of those really really expensive bride shift boots.

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

Some stickers

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

I mean I could be ultra pretentious and get a save the manuals sticker.

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

I did mod mine 2 weeks ago

#

Added cruise control

#

KEKW

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

oh snap

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

Only took me 4 years

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

That's useful.

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:44 PM

Come do that to my jeep

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:44 PM

Lol

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

Good old Jeep electronics

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:44 PM

I did it on mine since it was basically plug and play

vapid shadow May 23, 2020, 6:45 PM

Carbon fiber print shift boot

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:45 PM

Swapping out the stalk

📎 IMG_20200513_091859.jpg

#

Lol ACC wasn't available on a 2012 cheap economy car xD

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

So fly by wire car with the modules and stuff just not plugged in?

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

Opel decided it could not be done on a 2012 Bi-Fuel

#

But it's basically possible on every Corsa, every engine

#

Only depends on the preparation, you need an extra wire from the steering column to the Body Control Module and a clutch switch (mine had both, but you can also add both)

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

okay that's one of the cooler things I've found.

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

Because it was just so powerful that they couldn't develop a program delicate enough not to accelerate to 150 when it goes uphill

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

I can shift my car while on cruise control.

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:48 PM

#

The thing was, cruise control always came with fuel consumption meter etc, which isn't possible on the Bi-Fuel version so they decided it couldn't be done KEKW

#

Because it was just so powerful that they couldn't develop a program delicate enough not to accelerate to 150 when it goes uphill

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:49 PM

#

Strange stipulation to require

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:49 PM

#

I can shift my car while on cruise control.
That's on most modern cars, no? My parents Meriva does that too (2012 as well)

#

Mine doesn't since the platform is from 2006

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:49 PM

#

My old contour did not. It would drop out of cruise control if I pushed the clutch in.

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

My WRX legitimately will speed up like 5km/h up a hill because it uses more throttle to regain speed and then when boost hits it's too slow to back off

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

... Sounds like lazy Subaru programming.

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

Yeah my car cuts cruise when I touch the clutch

#

Yeah it is

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

The thing was, If the trim did come with cruise control as standard (it was optional on my trim), they did deliver it with cruise control and they did remove the fuel consumption meter LOL

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

"Should we account for boost... naaaaahhhhhh"

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

Well they even sell overboost as a feature

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

BOOST

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

What will die first. The EJ25 or the Queen of England?

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

But it was explained to me that the boost controller is basically inadequite and will just allow the boost creep

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

They're both about the same age.

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

Talks of FA24 in the next STI

#

Wouldn't doubt

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

Which is coming when?

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

Late this year apparently

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

Cause I've been hearing of a new WRX next year for years.

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

That fair

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

And it damn well better not be a refresh like the last one wash.

#

Or the one before that.

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

They did make a lot of small changes that were helpful, but yeah no new model

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

That's kind of why I passed over the WRX in my car search. That and price.

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

I get ya, like I said I bought second hand and basically got 25% off the brand new price

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

I was looking at new.

#

Boiled down to Mazda 3, Honda Civic, or Toyota Corolla.

#

Mazda 3 was... blah.

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:55 PM

#

You do you man, I don't personally see the value in a brand new vs 2 year old car

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:55 PM

#

Because the new Corolla was only a few months old at the time.

agile iris May 23, 2020, 6:55 PM

#

Civic would have been my second choice

dense shard May 23, 2020, 6:55 PM

#

And I'd have spent 20k vs. 23k.

stoic ledge May 23, 2020, 6:55 PM

#

We never bought a brand new car ever
