I understand the appeal of a third party stereo system, but like, there are built in features of this car that tie into hearing and cooling that work automatically with the built in one

civic girder
oh
sinful creek
within 2 years
civic girder
That's normal if its a shitty battery, especially if its not the right group size
however, you should do a drain test to see if its got a parasitic draw
there could be something staying on that causes it to run down all the time, thus wrecking the battery even though its somewhat newer
Its likely it needs a new battery no matter what, but you should make sure there's no electrical problems that may kill a new battery first
sinful creek
huh, I guess it is a lead acid battery and it was sitting for a while in the winter without being started :/
but yeah, I was also planning on getting a new battery anyways
civic girder
if it sat over the winter, then it definitely will need a jump but should be fine after it gets charged
assuming no electrical problems
sinful creek
already did that, it actually ran perfect, checked fluids beforehand
don't know if there are electrical problems but I do know that the last battery did the same thing
civic girder
yea, I'd do a parastic draw test
sinful creek
but they did test for electrical problems and came back with nothing, just remembered
sinful creek
aight, I'm not too sure how to test that, would I just need a multimeter orrr

Hello everyone
civic spoke
So for a V8 what would a typical amount of camshafts? I've seen conflicting info...
This is a short TL;DR for V-configurations. I guess it also applies to inline engines as well.
Pushrod engines have a single camshaft, near the crankshaft. Controlling intake/exhaust valves for both heads.
Overhead cam engines will have a single camshaft for each of its head. Taking care of the intake/exhaust valves for each head.
Dual overhead cam engines will have two camshafts for each head. One camshaft controlling intake, other exhaust.
So normally 1, 2, or 4 camshafts.

yes km/l is the only one that makes sense

in the UK I advocate (fruitlessly) for L/100miles
because fuel is sold in litres and distance is measured in miles
in litres, or gallons, per mile, it improves linearly and averages make sense
in mpg you know hey, if I have a gallon of fuel this is how far I can go
but the improvement isn't linear
I'd never thought of Jason's analogy though - improving from 5 to 6 mpg is better than improving from 50 to a billion
vagrant dune
yes km/l is the only one that makes sense
l/100km*

You have to record your driving hours, once you are 17 and have 100 day hours and 10 night hours you can get your P plates. P plates = drive alone but under alcohol limits and driving offences are taken more seriously etc.

Oh yeah we also need to drive with an adult in the car
We don’t need learner plates either

Here you need to turn 18
And that's it
You can read a book when you driving
But I think we have stupid speed limits that are ridiculous and I think dangerous when you drive for the first 8 months
Drive 50 kmh on 100 kmh road in the city

That seems dangerous lol

Fast speed is only on highways in germany. In my opinion the rest is decently balanced

but speeding in a restricted part is a no go.

unrestricted parts are fun to drive.
No unrestricted speed limits in the us 😔

Every Honda and Toyota within a 250 mile radius are overpriced af recently for me.
Nearly 6k for a 2001 corolla with 300k miles.
regal mason
That's overpriced af
night current
But I can find a 2000 Lexus es300 for 3k with 150k miles. Which is almost 99% a camry.
It really is. 😭

lol
regal mason
Dang like how much would you pay for it, it runs and drives it doesnt have a muffler @night current
regal mason
Who me
night current
Jeep would be pretty sick. Personally for me (and my lack of knowledge on motorcycles), $500-1000.
regal mason
But location does matter
I'm in nevada if that helps
remote ridge
Without seeing it in person I would definently say 1k is about what you could get but I don't know that much
regal mason
Really I was going to sell it for 450 since it doesnt have a muffler it isnt super large and I dont have any papers for it
Also the wiring needs work work
regal mason
The front light doesnt work but it has a tail light that will come with it and 2 turn signals
dense shard
no papers no buy
night current
^
regal mason
If it ran, more.
It runs and drives but it's just a little 90 cc that you can get a license plate for cheap
dense shard
Problem is title paperwork.
night current
Don't you need the papers to get the plate though?
dense shard
Not having a title is a huge pain to deal with when registering it.
You need papers.
dense shard
If it's over 50cc it's not a scooter.
To register and title your ND motorcycle, you'll need: Signed over title. Bill of sale and old registration if bought in a state that doesn't issue titles.
In North Dakota, it would be more effort than it's worth.
If you can get paperwork, that would increase the price, get it running, and that's just excellent.
regal mason
Ahh ok it runs and drives nicely by the way
dense shard
oh that's excellent.
My offer still stands. lol
I'm too lazy to deal with missing paperwork.
regal mason
Makes sense
dense shard
But to me. The 3 points of selling something. Clean title, running, and finally clean pictures.
regal mason
I traded it off of a guy for a dirt bike I had that didnt drive cause of the chain
remote ridge
Good pictures are a huge selling point for me
dense shard
If YOU can get papers for it, then you are in a better place to sell.
regal mason
Yeah I just took those ones really quickly lol
dense shard
yep
remote ridge
I won't even message someone if there aren't enough pictures
regal mason
I agree with that
dense shard
I need to wash the Jeep and the Corolla.
night current
I hate car ads where it's like 3 pictures that someone had to take screenshots of. Loool
regal mason
Also where I live no one really cars about the papers on it for some reason not even the cops but that might just be since I'm only 14 lol idk
remote ridge
That's a sick ride for 14
night current

regal mason
Exactly
night current
I was about to say, that's a nice whip for being 14.
regal mason
Only problem is that my dad wont let me drive it without a muffler since it's to loud but it does have a straight pipe lol
I'm trying to get a dirtbike instead though
remote ridge
I want to get one of those muffler cutouts so that I can drive sometimes with a muffler and cat and other times just have the straight pipe
regal mason
Lol
dense shard
Just put the muffler on.
regal mason
Just put the muffler on.
I cant find a muffler for it for some reason

No one appreciates being woken up early in the morning by way of loud annoying winga dinga.

Loud is sometimes nice to have but other times you just need that quiet
dense shard
I haven't found a scenario where loud is nice.
regal mason
I have
remote ridge
Well less of nice and more of fun
regal mason
Sometimes when your riding people piss you off so you have to shift down a gear to make it louder lol
regal mason
The angry downshift
remote ridge
Dude I'll downshift my automatic minivan when I go through tunnels just for the loud
remote ridge
Not always
regal mason
Well yeah depends on the situation
remote ridge
A few days ago I saw an Aventador in a parking lot and it's idle is so quiet
Coolest thing ever
regal mason
That's cool
remote ridge
I seriously thought it was off when I was walking up to it
regal mason
But yeah I'm trying to trade it for a dirt bike since there are a lot of offroad trails around here
And I find the most joy in offroading
remote ridge
If I were you I would was it as best I could and then touch up paint where you can
That plus minor repairs will give a much higher value
regal mason
Like what kind of repairs are you thinking
remote ridge
That seat does look a little loose
Pictures on pavement or cement do look a lot better as well
regal mason
Ahh it's actually on just fine and nice and tight it's justtthe way it looks in the pic
remote ridge
I figured
regal mason
Pictures on pavement or cement do look a lot better as well
Ok I will keep that in mind
I'm hoping that an iphone 12 pro should be able to get better pictures than the ones I just took
remote ridge
Resolution isn't always the most important, lighting, angles and background are what will make or break it
remote ridge
Probably the road or a garage door
remote ridge
Perfect
regal mason
Let me take a couple really quick tell me what you think hold on a minute
remote ridge
Okay
remote ridge
Now that looks a lot better
regal mason
I would also do the other side as well
And some close ups on some other important things
remote ridge
Yeah definitely get both sides, and close ups
regal mason
Yeah
Oh and it will also come with another frame for it if i still have it which I think I do
And another engine
remote ridge
It seriously went from looking like it was old and broken down to a pretty decent motorcycle
regal mason
I also just remembered that it's only 49 cc
remote ridge
You can definitely get 1-1.5k for this
remote ridge
I would list it at 1.5 and then if they try to negotiate stay firm but let them bring it down to no less than 1250
remote ridge
Yeah, basically just list it a little higher than you actually want to get
regal mason
I also have another engine for it that I would throw in
remote ridge
Honestly you could sell the engine separate and get more for it
regal mason
It's a 70cc but its older and is like more of a moped style
remote ridge
There are plenty of people who would buy a small cc engine for a gokart build
remote ridge
No problem
regal mason
Well I think 1k is enough for a dirtbike
remote ridge
Yeah, near me there are a few listed under 1k and they look decent
regal mason
Cool
remote ridge
Also make sure you have someone to with you when you make the sell and the buy
regal mason
Why
remote ridge
It's just a lot safer
I consider myself fairly strong and I would still go with someone
remote ridge

supercharged V6 tends to have a nice whine

I also once or two forgot to turn of the highs.. Its nothing to blame someone for, its human failure, it happens.

i also only rapidly flash at the point i genuinely cant see

Thats not good either. Better to start Flash at the point u notest he does have highbeam on and u assume he forgot to turn off
charred depot
yeah, its sometimes hard to be sure whether its dipped beams aimed to the sky or actually high beams so im careful
fathom socket
Also Flash when u see someone having highbeam on during daylight. It doesnt have an effect on your visibility, but its still just a hint to the driver that something isnt right

And if he gets flashed at without having highbeam on repeatedly (by various other cars), he most likely will know that theres something wrong with his lights
