They are dipped more than they need to be

There should be a knob/screw you can turn to adjust them.
Or if they were actually loose when you inserted them. Then you might have done it wrong.

nah they are in properly but something with the electric adjustment is unhappy
like even with the bulb out the actual mount is loose

My A3 occasionally complains about a "dipped" headlight but there's absolutely nothing wrong from what I can see lol

I want to install a light bar on the Corolla.
I just need to find a way to get through the aero panels that cover the place I need to access.
And also figure out what kind of mounting hardware I need for aluminum bumpers.
I have an off set plate
I hate the look of a center mount plate on my car.
Also I'd prefer something that isn't just mounted to plastic/foam
charred depot
Some stock fog lights are pretty brutal and people insist on using them where there is absolute 0 fog for tha look
dense shard
This will be mounted foglight level, but I really just want some extra light spread to either side.
That's probably one issues with projectors.
My Accord had hella light spread to either side. It was great.
dense shard
I'm used to better.
charred depot
saab I cant see anything in the right lane heh
charred depot
turn them on at the same time ig
It would have to be a bit more rudamentary with a relay on my car heh.
id also have to fit my new fog light as one of them is smashed
glass down low big brain idea
mines are just stones
dense shard
Having them on at the same time is flat out illegal in a lot of places in the US.
lol
I'm just gonna put mine behind the grill.
Good chance I'm going to put a finer mesh over the grill as well. I'm getting waaay too many bugs on the radiator as it stands.
That's gonna look good.
I doubt the light bar will block that much
Reality is Corolla won't get a light bar till next year if not later.
Jeep getting a lightbar before the year is over.
That one can get a plate mount easy.
But I'll probably go for a RIGID LED bar.
Those are supposedly really good.
Still mounting hardware.
I want to drill into the bumper itself... the metal bit that is.
But I need to check what that will entail with it being aluminum.
lol c'mon man
I'm not gonna spend 500 dollars on lights to use zipties.
Unlike Linus I need this to last more than one video.

This is what I used to drive. Was nice to have that extra light bar.

not really?
The new gen Civic and WRX look nothing alike.
New Civic is very Jetta-esque from the back.
New... wait a minute.
The new WRX looks like a last gen Corolla.

More plastic cladding, but the windows scream Corolla.

last gen Civic maybe
dense shard
It's nearly identical to a Jetta.
stiff burrow
I’m going to be honest with you I have probably seen one or two Jetta’s in the last year
stoic ledge
Especially those lights
stiff burrow
I have no clue what those look like
stoic ledge
Like any generic VW
stoic ledge
I probably haven't seen one this year, but similar story with the Civic lol
dense shard
It's only gotten bigger.
At which point the question is.
Why does the Civic and Accord exist at the same time?
stoic ledge
So the Accord can go even bigger
They actually cancelled the Accord in Europe
Although they did that years ago
Probably in like 2014
dense shard
Still not sure what to think of the hatchback.
stoic ledge
And the European Accord was the Acura TSX
dense shard
Front end and rear end styling don't quite match up imo
I would say Kia called, they want their Stinger back.
But since that's going away soon... I'm guessing Kia sold the tooling to Honda.
stoic ledge
Honda managed to sell 41 Civics here this year so far 
Actually less than a Toyota Mirai
Oof damn, Model X sales dropped by 99% and Model S sales by 95% compared to last year
charred depot
damn model x's were keeping alloy refurbishers in business :^)
literally every single one ive seen absolutely roasted
stiff burrow
Lol
charred depot
they are too wide methinks
stiff burrow
they need to use wider tires to protect the wheels
Or shorter wheels
Skinnier wheels? Whatever the correct word is
charred depot
not really gonna have the tyres bulge out with those low profile tyres
charred depot
Im thinking of getting those for the saab, atleast a black one for the front left
stoic ledge
charred depot
this makes me pretty anxious to put the alloys on heh
stoic ledge
That's not very wide no
charred depot
One of them has a 215/55 which bulges out nicely
but it is 3% oversized diameter wise
a 195 55 R16 or 205 would be right
stoic ledge
I have 195 55 R16 on zhe Corsa
charred depot
I currently have 185's heh
charred depot
yeah the 10+ year old compound has aged like wine aswell
the nice thing about the 215's is how much it bulges out
I really dont want to fuck up these professionally restored alloys heh
stoic ledge
The other weekend I cleaned my brothers winter alloys, don't think they were ever cleaned before, they were nasty inside
Still not everything is gone

Honestly none of those issues seem to horrible.
Not sure how you fracture a spring, but w/e.

just badly corroded
Just alot of money in parts alone for a car which value does not merit it

toyotas that werent like aygos or yaris' have really steep insurance too
dense shard
I'm just not too excited with the repair costs of a VW product.
And a 1000 dollar Jetta TDI with 300k miles sounds like a dare.
charred depot
The worst part about the saab is the fucked motor mounts :^(

Don't know if they sold diesel Volvo's in the US? But those are also quite nice, the 5-cyl diesels (2.4)

It's the 1.9 I believe.
The engine is solid, but at 300k other parts of the car are worn out.

Id say someone that goes to the effort of putting a 1.7 isuzu diesel in their saab is unlikely to crash but hey
dense shard
The Euro4 1.7 CDTI doesn't even have a particular filter <:kekw:752914823444037...
oddly enough my car has a particulate filter.
Also I finally figured out my EGR. So if/when it breaks I should be able to fix it myself easily enough.
stoic ledge
dense shard
It's all water cooled. So many coolant hoses.
But yeah. Toyota even thought to distribute the EGR gases evenly between all 4 cylinders.
charred depot
modern stuff always so intimidating
dense shard
Honestly? I've largely figured it all out.
charred depot
from a glance
dense shard
It's mostly coolant lines.
Hopefully the wiring holds up over the years.
Also weird to see two separate fuel rails.
Better than BMW's water cooled alternators.

What kind of car is this? Also isnt there typicly a cover hiding these lines of cables?

Taxes isnt much fun when your living in norway but eh, each to our own fun ^^

Also I appreciate society's move to electric water pumps. Makes replacing them much easier.
Taxes in the US are a huge pain. Every year we gotta fill out forms, or pay a company to do it for us.

D2 = 1 big turbo

They made the engine without balance shafts but added them in newer ones for luxoree

Mazda's setup is even more literal.
sterile verge
Kinda want to get the engine tuned and get more out of it but its so damn new 😛
dense shard
If it's out of warranty, could be worth a look tbh.
Increase power/fuel economy a bit. Shouldn't affect emissions?
stoic ledge
D2 = 1 big turbo
D3 = VNT turbo
D4 = 1 small 1 big turbo
D5 = 1 VNT 1 big turbo
D5 also had PowerPulse basically, a 2L compressed air tank to keep the turbo's up to speed or spool them up faster
stoic ledge
My brother has a V40 D2, we remapped it from 120hp/280Nm to 180hp/400Nm 
stoic ledge
That sounds needlessly complex.
Haven't really heard about them breaking yet
dense shard
Two valves and an air cylinder shouldn't break.
stoic ledge
Exactly
dense shard
But it just sounds like extra weight and complexity all the same.
stoic ledge
It's not as complex as the turbocharged, supercharged and electrified T8 
sterile verge
If it's out of warranty, could be worth a look tbh.
It just went outside warranty when it was beyond 5 years 😦

Just... install a turbo that's bette... oh yeah. The new ones are insane.

It's not here
sterile verge
Yeah im not gonna fuck with the engine so much its not on the illegal side, knowing this is norway.
stoic ledge
It actually makes it more fuel efficient
sterile verge
Norway dont fuck around.
dense shard
I would check local regulations.
stoic ledge
Deleting the EGR isn't illegal here yet as long as it passes emissions tests
dense shard
But EGR is pretty much the one piece of emissions equipment that everyone questions.
stoic ledge
(which it does)
dense shard
It reduces NOx emissions... which is good.
But it reduces power and fuel economy, which is bad.
sterile verge
If i can get more performance out of the car and better fuel economy i'll probably get it tuned 😛
stoic ledge
Also quite unhealthy for the engine, carbon clogs up

I think it was car and driver that did it.
They ended up running winter tires against actual summer tires. Something like 300% longer braking distance in the snow.

We have like two types of winter tires here, studded and something we call "friction" tires

It really depends on the climate, but yeah in thicc snow winter tires are superior
