Anyone here good at detecting what the problem to cars are? I have an aftermarket radio with the correct antenna, but I'm getting mostly static when it's plugged in, but it works better when I hold it in my hand
civic spoke
Where is the antenna going?
hoary oasis
I'm about to just call best buy and have them possibly fix it
fallow plover
The anntenna might have bad connections, and if there is an antenna signal booster like in the bmw e46 then those connections might be bad too, if you know roughly where it is then have some electrical spray on them, needed to do that on my car since I bought it, but finally did it like last year sometime, and it did wonders.

you can just let it idle and see if there is a strong smell of gas or anything dripping from underneath it

brake light out would be my guess
your owners manual should have something that will tell you

Yeah brake light out
My RX does the same thing
Sometimes it's just wrong, I've had it pop up sometimes and all the lights are fine.

But really. Looks like you have a different issue on your hands.
Considering that my car was parked for over two years and started up without issues.
But then again. My car might just be magical.
fathom socket
@civic spoke it doesn't have that issue when I run on LPG
civic spoke
I feel that it has to be something more than just bad gas.
civic spoke
Looks like I have to spend around $1,000 on the car to get it more where I want it.
stoic ledge
Clogged up fuelinjectors Talonfluff?
That'd be the only thing which would make sense to me if it works just fine on LPG
civic spoke
That's what I'm kinda thinking as well.
Or maybe sparkplugs. not sure.
@stoic ledge And that's with me forgetting about tires.
stoic ledge
Or maybe sparkplugs. not sure.
Meh then it'd do the same if not worse on LPG

@stoic ledge @civic spoke looks like it stopped after putting fresh petrol

I guess it was bad gas then.
stoic ledge
Maybe add a bottle of injector cleaner to the gas
It was probably some bad gas indeed, but might have left some stuff in the fuel lines/pump/injectors
civic spoke
Sounds like it's a car that doesn't get driven much.

Well if LPG -> use gas as little as possible 😛

There is a Mercedes 250d Diesel

Mercedes diesel unreliable? 👀
@stoic ledge by that I've meant that the smell reminded me of naturally aspirated fiat diesels we had that were breaking down often
and we had audi 80 with diesel that failed spectacularly
stoic ledge
Ah
The rest of the car will crumble around it
@indigo coral there's a 600k mile 2010 E200 CDI for sale nearby, seems to be alright

Yes
634411 miles to be exact

2.1 diesel, packing a whopping 136hp

I think HP doesn't matter in diesel that much

136 is still gonna be slow in a heavy car like that

indigo coral
That's one reason I like LC/GS F
No turbos, nice NA, low stress, reliable motor
Yeah it's not fast compared to it's German rivals, but you can maintain it without going broke
indigo coral
Used cars ftw
stoic ledge
That as well, yea
indigo coral
That is a hawt GS F lol
stoic ledge
But no wagon so -1

But Wagon always +1
indigo coral
Yeah the wheels aren't great
indigo coral
you know what the biggest dealbreaker with the GS F is?
stoic ledge
The Infotainment system
indigo coral
that god damn infotainment system
yup
though they have hard buttons for most everything so I'd need to drive it and see
i'd have to learn how to drive a RWD car if I was ever gonna buy one of those lmao

Those rims are way better

Those?
They're nice too 
ngl the fuel economy on it isn't even that awful
Slightly better than what I have now
LOL LOL LOL
stoic ledge
Yeah that looks waay better imho
indigo coral
Do you spot the issue
indigo coral
They must be using 🇳🇱 pricing
stoic ledge
indigo coral
Well yeah there it's obviously not
But a 2018 GS F is depreciating heavily
Down to 40-50k already
So half off
stoic ledge
Maybe I should import a US model in a couple of years
indigo coral
Let it depreciate some more then I can buy one 
stoic ledge
Imagine driving that with 7.5 USD/gallon
Oh wait, that requires Premium probably
Make that 8.50/gallon
stoic ledge
I'd probably still get Premium since it has less Ethanol in it here
civic spoke
I fuel my car up with premium. 
indigo coral
I don't use premium in my car
stoic ledge
Imagine driving this car and it's rare here:

manual says to, but lol
its been running fine for 22 years on regular

It isn't THAT much of a price difference to step up to premium. tbh

what, you're saying I'll be walking if I try and put diesel in it? :kekw:
@indigo coral yes
civic spoke
Then again. I can make my car consume pretty similar to a diesel.

A friend of mine once refuel a diesel Chevrolet Aveo (Sonic) with gas, and drove it home

14.7L/100km btw
civic spoke
That was from 40 km's of freeway driving.
stoic ledge
My car doesn't have a fuel economy computer thing
stoic ledge
I just keep track of it myself
civic spoke
I also keep track of actual MPG myself.
stoic ledge
Corsa does like 35 MPG US?
civic spoke
Which is usually around 7.5 L/100km
civic spoke
2.2 liter, 6 cylinder 👀
stoic ledge
But yeah, LPG uses like 10-15% more. AND I drive at a decent pace on the highway
civic spoke
I try to drive legally.
stoic ledge
Last couple of refuels, the Meriva did 1:16 which is quite good (6.25L/100km)
That's 37.63 MPG US
civic spoke
My average will probably drop with me being able to rev out my car now.
stoic ledge
My brothers Volvo does nearly 50MPG (20km/l or 5l/100km)
indigo coral
9.8L/100km for highway
its not efficient but it's not that bad for a 467hp NA V8 sedan
stoic ledge
Lol imagine that with 8.50 USD/gallon
stoic ledge
So add up the €93/month road tax + probably like 12L/100km average fuel consumption... It's quite expensive to run
15kr 👀
civic spoke
I pay about $70 each week in fuel.
stoic ledge
Nearest gas station nearby is 1.759/l
stoic ledge
indigo coral
the GS F would be cheaper to run than my RX in terms of fuel
stoic ledge
Oof
indigo coral
RX is similar city driving, but would be worse than the GS F for higghwy
stoic ledge
Not much is cheaper to run than my Corsa... Or it needs to be an EV powered by solar energy only
indigo coral
i've only gotten 24mpg once, and that was drafting behind our RX kinda xD
and downhill
I generally get like 20mpg highway and 17mpg city
because bad gearing
stoic ledge
No overdrive
indigo coral
no overdrive.

civic spoke
Can't really check my actual milage, since my trip meter got reset when I replaced alternator and battery.
fathom socket
I always have to fill up my car after about 250 KM
the small 47 liter LPG tank does not help
stoic ledge
Just check the exact odo meter, will be accurate enough
I only have a 42L tank, with the 80% limit I can use 32.6L
So I refuel every 350km
fathom socket
I can use at max 28 liters
civic spoke
Just don't remember what it was at when I last fueled up.
stoic ledge
Just don't remember what it was at when I last fueled up.
@civic spoke that's why you use Spritmonitor.de
fathom socket
combined I can get over 100 liters of fuel
stoic ledge
Combined I can get almost 80L
indigo coral
I have 65L tank
fathom socket
but I can only use like 75% of it
civic spoke
I think my fuel capacity is 63 liters?
fathom socket
47l LPG and 55l Petrol
civic spoke
I MIGHT be able to make it to 900 km's if I drive carefully enough

those of you that do track days in the states how much do you pay
my local track charges like £200 its not a amazing track i guess but its also not terrible
stoic ledge
Depends on how long you want to have access to the track
Atleast, my local circuit which I've driven on has different prices for different durations
Ah another track I know uses the same prices apparently
1h: €80
2h: €160
1 afternoon: €300
Entire day: €450
Hmm another track is €280 for the entire day (but 1 entire day there is basically 1 afternoon)
Another track:
1 afternoon: €380
Entire day: €520

I don't know of a carmaker who let the cameras roll on the first test drive...
wut
... here's a hot take.
They should have brought back the suicide doors.
How great would that be?
Oh no.
"It has natural voice recognition"
If by natural they mean someone's grandma who is hard of hearing... and a bit old.
I think we'll have autonomous driving before we have natural voice recognition.
320 km range... not bad.
We'll see.
The video implies it's their own.
Well it is one of the more competent infotainments out right now.
A low bar to clear tbh, but one that's been cleared.
indigo coral
and the GS F in particular has hard buttons for pretty much everything
the new trackpad is better but the GS F still has the little mouse thingy
dense shard
Well infotainment usually moves forward.
So if 5 builds on 4... it'll remain the best.

Most automakers are just trying to cut costs, make it robust, and durable.
Mazda sort of did it right.
Remove all fancy UI effects... too bad there's no touch screen.
indigo coral
touchscreens bad according to car reviewers
dense shard
Car reviewers are losing it.

one thing that drives me nuts is that they review brand new cars in a vacuuum and thus give shitty advice
dense shard
They bitch about how you can feel too much road through the steering wheel now.
indigo coral
dense shard
I think the reviews are worse.
dense shard
The corolla is the worst because it's a fairly decent car, and it offers pretty good handling and excellent fuel economy
mazda is the best because it's claustrophobic, handles worse the more you push it, slow, and okay on gas
Honda wins because they paid us
indigo coral

Lexus GS F is apparently a bad car because its down on power and slower to launch vs the AWD, complicated, turbo M5 that costs way more
lol
dense shard
Car and Driver.
indigo coral
before any options the M5 is 15k more and will cost you a fucking stack of money in work over the years, the GS F is cheaper but way more reliable. Lol.
dense shard
GS-F has lost relevance tbh. For a performance car, it caters more to a niche crowd than the numbers guys.
At this point I don't know if they're direct competitors.
dense shard
right
indigo coral
there's just way too many numbers guys
"my dick is bigger tahn yours because my car makes 4 more horsepower"
dense shard
GS-F is more of a muscle car these days.
indigo coral
i'd get a GS F over the M5 every damn day
because I want to have a reasonable expectation of it starting when i turn the key
(or press the button as the case may be)
dense shard
I can't think of a reason to go M5 over Lexus.
indigo coral
imo 467hp is plenty for daily driving
idc if its 4 seconds slower around the nurburgring
Looks are down to preference, but I think the GS F Looks wayyyyyy better

Why do car manufacturers have to dream up a new connector for stereos with the least straightforward clip designs
oh and that clip with 1000 pounds of clamping force isnt enough for them, lets also throw glue on the connector

Glue used to ensure the clip holds when the brittle plastic eventually breaks. Connectors are standardized across a certain number of models and years, depending on the features available in said models and years.
Still annoying having to buy or make wiring harnesses though.
charred depot
apparently the factory connector has parking brake reverse and everything according to this adapter
seems strange for it to have all that
speed pulse aswell
fathom socket
just a product of standardisation
jagged wagon
Could be because there was a navigation unit option for your car, or for models of cars similar to yours. Manufacturers usually try to standardize connectors in some way to save costs.
charred depot
yeah basically all of the mazdas share this connector to a point
wasnt any other radios avaliable for my car though
i thought because of that they wouldnt actually wire that connector pin but apparently its wired.
dense shard
at least it's a 2 DIN stereo.
I can't replace mine without going OEM or sketchy Chinese stuff.
charred depot
you might be able to find a adapter fascia
you can see mine is non standard originally
this is the new fascia (not all screwed in yet)
dense shard
I won't be able to get an adapter... Not in the US. JDM maybe, but it looks ugly.
My car only fits 1 DIN, and it has the billboard style of screen.
charred depot
whats the issue?
dense shard
It needs a dedicated mount/shroud.
charred depot
its not single din then is it?
dense shard
The hardware fits 1 DIN.
charred depot
whats it look like then
charred depot
i mean with the single din radio
dense shard
It wouldn't look that great stylistically.
It would be a screen folding-ish 1 DIN stereo sitting in a gaping hole.
dense shard
I have no reason to downgrade.
charred depot
what im asking is do you have that exactly
charred depot
why would you consider changing it at all
dense shard
It's slow, clunky, massive bezels, lacks GPS or android auto.

I just want my car to feel NA.
If I had to do force indution on my car, then it would be a supercharger.

as cool as it is to make lots of power and make woosh noises, NA sounds better imo and feels better

superchargers sound cooler than turbos too imo, and the smoother power delivery feels better tooo

Tesla Blown Away As Renault Dominates Europe’s July EV Sales Party

well the zoe fits in with european cars, the suv shit show doesn't stop.. i mean stuff like the t-cross is still an incredible stupid car.
i think the zoe is an amazing little car, not the prettiest, not the best electric car, it looks promising if you consider going electric, and a car of that size just drives better around in European cities
or during winter everywhere .. when the road width is halfed by snowwalls on each side and there is traffic both directions 👀

Are you going to keep it four-wheel-steer? Or are you going to lock out the rear?
robust sedge
if it works why get rid of it?
it just needs some suspension work
engine running fantastically
flushed out all the fluids and it purrs
plus to lock out the rear steer i have to completely remove the rear steering and replace all the rear suspension components
its not like the 4th gens where i can just pull a fuse
charred depot
wonder if the rear wheel steering has failed on one of them letting the back wheels turn wherever they feel like

Got it around August 2017
Anyone know anything about replacing the crank case breather hose?
Another question, does anyone know how to replace wheel bearings?
dense shard
Wheel bearings? Depends.
Usually there are kits. You need special tools to rip em out, and press em in.
Assuming they aren't integrated and don't need an entire hub replaced... which is a possibility for you.
Hose replacement is easy if you are patient and have needle nose pliers.

I should do mine.

Do it
Clean interior > clean exterior imho, since I spend most time inside 😉
(although exterior also needs to be cleaned regularly)

Exterior can get thrashed on the daily by a simple rain storm.

I should rent something to clean my seats.
