tribal heron
Ah so newer model
I belive the newer foresters use the FB 25 (2.5 liter) and the FB20 (2.0 liter)
And usually there is a plate on the engine somewhere with that printed on it
Not too knowledgeable on the newer subaru engines so idk how you would yell em apart by just looking at one
steel mountain
Check the engine, should have the code somewhere on a plate or something
our Engine doesn't have a cover that says "Subaru" 2.0L or smth

Isn't on a cover
Usually is on a metal tag stamp thing
Kind of like this
Also pretty sure that VIN and plate # might have that info
civic spoke
The small window in the windshield is the VIN number.
tribal heron
Thats probably vin
Easiest way to ident engine is to just look for the code on the block somewhere (unless subaru stopped stamping it which I doubt)
civic spoke
Other times there is often a label of sorts in the engine bay somewhere about what engine it is.
tribal heron
Yeah I know on old outbacks it was on the driver's side strut tower
Looking at that photo though I can't see it there

But idk where you're from, but I expect the US. And then there's only a 2.5L engine option for every trim
So I expect it has the 2.5L

what do I do with the VIN
You can use the VIN to decode everything about the vehicle. It will let you know packages, add one, etc. Basically everything.

Oh well, anything subaru post-CVTifying I don't care too much for tbh
dense shard
Subaru's success has led to some issues, yes.
tribal heron
They went to trying to cater to the average car consumer
Which is good for business I guess
But they've just made the cars worse by doing that I think
dense shard
Their cars weren't exactly brilliant in a niche.
20 years ago they could get away with doing AWD crossovers. Now everyone does it.
EJs with exploding head gaskets, glass transmission 5 speed WRXs, lower fuel economy, and other issues associated with AWD
stoic ledge
And all are 2.5L
European Foresters are 2.0 exclusive, not even an 2.5 option 
Also, Foresters start here at ~60k USD so nobody buys them 
dense shard
Subaru could probably get more out of less if they had a more competent transmission.
I'm sure the chain CVT they have is robust, but an 8 speed?
stoic ledge
I wish they offered a manual
I mean, I quite like the Levorg (basically Impreza Wagon), 1.6 Turbo is fine, but only offered with a CVT which is

yes
Hmm online decoders don't take it, but they probably don't know the checksum for a 2022
But:
jf2sk9kl5ng077278
JF2 = Japan Fuji Heavy Industries MPV
S = Forester
K = Body Style (so gen of Forester, I'm sure it's correct)
9 = Engine, 2500cc 4WD
K = Model/Trim (idk which one, Limited, R, Nav, H/K? That was accurate in 2015)
L = Weight class
5 = Checksum
N = Model year 2022
G = Transmission (Full-time AWD CVT)
077278 = production sequence
So it's a 2.5L

If you still don't believe it, there is a stamping on the engine.
Which will give you the info.

Hydrogen car or electric car?
umbral flicker
violet fern
tbh i prefer hydrogen
electric contains batteries that are incredibly toxic and produces huge amounts of emissions mining the rare earth metals
stiff burrow
The more and more I see stuff like this, the more and more I believe if you need...
No that’s silly
violet fern
whereas infrastructure already exists for hydrogen cars as they can just replace petrol
stiff burrow
250hp is basically nothing, it would make more sense to require a special license to drive a 400hp car
wispy cloak
Hydrogen car or electric car?
Electric because hydrogen has low energy density and we don't have the infrastructure to support it
We don't really have the infrastructure for either but hydrogen would take more
wispy cloak
The more and more I see stuff like this, the more and more I believe if you need...
If that happened then you'd need a special license to drive a truck or suv
violet fern
Electric because hydrogen has low energy density and we don't have the infrastru...
We have infrastructure becuz it can be transported just like petrol and does. It doesn't need extra infrastructure like electric does. Energy density is also quite high as the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen is highly exothermic, meaning it will produce a lot of energy
Batteries on the other hand are highly toxic and contribute to e-waste as they are unusable after 5 years
stoic ledge
Lol well that's also just not true
Batteries can perfectly be recycled. The problem now is that reusing/recycling batteries is more expensive than just creating new once. That needs to be addressed.
Also, with proper battery management systems, batteries can have a long life. In the future, we'll need independent but certified repair companies to fix potential broken cells
Using current petrol stations for hydrogen is impossible as they work 100% different. Also, you can't transport hydrogen like you can fossil fuels
Hydrogen also has the downside that it's crazy inefficient compared to just electricity (~50%). And to be green hydrogen, it has to be created from green electricity.
Using left-over electricity, and turning it into hydrogen is a great way of doing so
Don't forget hydrogen fuel cells also use, for now, very rare metals.
Both will have a future, like diesel and petrol co-existing now. Hydrogen like diesel, BEV as petrol (give or take)
fathom socket
If that happened then you'd need a special license to drive a truck or suv
No most suv have the same hp as most cars today
But there is a huge difference between the Mazda to I drive and the 500hp srt8
And I would be more than willing to take the extra licensing for it
I had to take extra training for my class 3, with airbrakes so I don't see an issue
fathom socket
Lol well that's also just not true <a:Kekwww:785843363853238312>
Batteries can...
Battery recycling does exist but what we can recycle vs what we do recycle is not even a rounding error in %
Right now we have warehouses full of lithium ion batteries leaking toxic materials and or threatening to be giant bombs
violet fern
Another issue is how the electricity is actually produced, which is a flaw of both methods. The best way around this is to just focus attention towards fusion so that every car has a tiny fusion reactor inside it, and so electric, hydrogen and all other methods will be obsolete
fathom socket
Look up thermal runaway and just imagine that inside a massive warehouse
violet fern
Look up thermal runaway and just imagine that inside a massive warehouse
Yeah, leads to unstoppable chemical fires
stoic ledge
Right now we have warehouses full of lithium ion batteries leaking toxic materia...
Well yeah but that's what I said, it can be recycled, they just won't do it currently as there's no motivation to do so
Lithium-ion batteries can be recycled for like 96%
violet fern
that 4% will add up very quickly if we end up replacing all cars with electric cars
which is the way we're going, especially in the UK
stoic ledge
So hydrogen cars are 100% recyclable? 🙃
violet fern
no
neither is really sustainable
fusion is the solution to all our problems with energy and transport
stoic ledge
And apparently current it's possible to recycle ~96%, maybe it's possible to recycle 100% in the future
fathom socket
Electric cars are so bad for the earth. I wish people realized this
stoic ledge
fusion is the solution to all our problems with energy and transport
Do you want to put fusion reactors in to cars?
violet fern
yeah
stoic ledge
violet fern
much safer than combustion or batteries
ok here's the thing
its not like fission
it's not a controlled explosion
let's say the reactor container just breaks, nothing would happen
because there's such a miniscule amount of stuff in there and it requires enormous amounts of pressure for it to react
so if the container breaks and pressure decreases the reaction will just stop
in regular nuclear reactions that reaction won't stop it will continue at an uncontrolled rate and cause an explosion
batteries however cause unstoppable chemical fires
and combustion engines can explode
stoic ledge
But fusion has for now never existed in a way where it produces more power than it consumes. And that has occurred basically in gigantic labs. I don't see it feasible to put it in cars any time soon
It'll be amazing when it's here
violet fern
thing is progress towards that has been happening exponentially
we're breaking records for sustained fusion all the time
stoic ledge
But for now it might just as well be decades away
violet fern
I would predict fusion being in cars within 20 years
fathom socket
Small thermal runaway
violet fern
if you consider the exponential rate of progress

Right but here's the flip side of that coin
How do you get lithium ion and copper for inside the batteries?
violet fern
You can extract lithium from lithium batteries
but the process is very long and expensive
once we run out of lithium it will become economically viable
fathom socket
once we run out of lithium it will become economically viable
That's years down the road
We don't really have the years that will take
violet fern
But then while we still have lithium there's no issue of recycling
fathom socket
They estimate 30 years of oil if we are lucky
violet fern
It will only matter when there isn't any more to mine
fathom socket
What we need to do now is sell the oil we got and use the money to research and build real and safe green technologies
Like right now solar panels are just as destructive to create as the batteries and just as toxic in the environment as we have almost no recycling for them. And at best they are 33.6% efficient.
We are quite literally wrecking the earth to save it
tribal heron
Also the lithium and stuff is being sourced from less than ideal countries regarding environmental regulations too
Not to mention that the equipment they're using to extract it is probably running on gas and or diesel

Please tell me which do you think is doing more damage?
dense shard
right now? Oil.
A battery can be recharged dozens of times. A gallon of gas is used once.
drill it, pump it, pipe it to a refinery, pipe it to a ship, ship it across an ocean using a ship that is fueled by heavy bunker oil, pipe it elsewhere, then truck it to a gas station. Hopefully not spilling anything along the way.
I'm not counting the methane and other gas emissions that go hand in hand with oil production, which is extremely potent for climate change.
fathom socket
A battery can be recharged dozens of times. A gallon of gas is used once.

Do you think an electric car could get from Saskatoon Saskatchewan to Calgary Alberta on a single charge when it's -30?
dense shard

fathom socket
You could fit all of Germany into BC

My Corolla could barely do 375 miles
And you know full well using an edge case is disingenuous.
Would you be more agreeable to EVs if there were a dozen charging stops between the two cities?
fathom socket
Calgary to Saskatoon is 600km
When it's-30 no way any teslas is doing that
But I use that example because I've made the trip
dense shard
Okay, and if there were more charging stops.
fathom socket
When it was -30
There would be no high speed charging stations so what's your average charge time for regular charging?
4 hours give or take?
Let's say 3
dense shard
yes, just keep the heater running.

Point I'm getting at is Canada is a BIG country with a lot of open space
dense shard
How about in between Birmingham and Amarillo Texas in the summer?
fathom socket
How much open space is between those cities ?
fathom socket
And can you get a 1000 miles (1500km) out of your batteries one one charge?
fathom socket
The old diesels VWs actually use to be able to do 1300 km on a tank
dense shard
Yeah if you hypermile
And you aren't doing that in the American south.
Or the PNW
Or anywhere really.
fathom socket
The point I'm getting at is that EVs are not able to survive many situations
dense shard
Take Spokane to Bismarck. There's 900 miles. That's 16 hours of driving.
They can survive fine.
You add time to your travel.
fathom socket
Yes in a perfect case with lots of charging they can
dense shard
Montana had huge stretches of road without a gas station. Same for New Mexico.

Montana was late winter, I'll admit.
fathom socket
You don't lose 50% of your charge just to heating
dense shard
If you don't prepare and drive stupid, yes you lose 50%.
fathom socket
Imo 90% of the people on the road don't deserve to have a driver's license
dense shard
That's not the argument here.
fathom socket
No it's not
My points are this. 1) EVs don't have the life expectancy in real world scenarios outside of test environments. 2) creating the EVs is actually harder on the environment right now than the oil sands because we can't fix giant holes in the earth 3) our power up in Canada at least still comes from a lot of coal plants and a few water generators, but still more resources we need to burn, meaning your saving the earth is actually needing more power 4) our green technologies are shit and they are doing nothing more than rounding errors for politicians 5) I believe if we want to use EVs in real world saving ways we need to make the batteries truly recyclable, find a batter style that we don't need to dig materials out of the earth to make and have a power source that isn't dependent on the sun.

Hmm
Many people don't drive their car until the end of their life, like often just a minor damage and insurance tells you fuck off, that car isn't worth anything once its a bit older
Environmental all cars are bad for the environment, evs are worse in production but there's a break even point where ice cars overtake EVs in emissions
Power generation - now it's dirty but most western nations are on a somewhat common goal to reach fully renewable in some time, but too slow i agree
EVs aren't perfect, ICE cars aren't perfect, CNG aren't perfect, hydrogen aren't even close to perfect (because hydrogen is a pain to produce), synthetic fuel is hydrogen with extra steps.

Power generation that could enable us to ditch fosil would require a way to store energy and be able to use it when in demand- hydrogen or pumped storage- everywhere. The way you fill these storages is stable(24/7) source of (clean) energy. Water flowtrough, contrary to popular opinion, don't produce much unless you are in like Austria where you got high attitude to take advantage of. Seeing as nuclear PPs take 20+ years to build, new pumped storage projects are being attacked by green nonprofits and hydrogen storage is nowhere near usable I don't see EVs taking of.
As to ditching the cars completely - mass transport systems were designed with cars in mind. So unless that gets scaled up it isn't an option either.
bitter compass

proven zenith
any dirt left on your car and you're in scratch city
invest in a good quality mitt

I think you're misunderstanding
fill bucker 1 with soapy water
fold microfiber towels up
put approx 8 - 12 towels in bucket w/ soapy water

properly washing cars I dont care much for which makes silver great

You foam the car

any dirt left from prewash will still scratch

good because if you had any tar or anything you're scratching it up

with a mitt it gets trapped

And then dragged all over
I am literally using a microfiber towel ONCE and throwing it in the dirty bin

no i do not
Once its wiped
MF towel goes in the 2nd bucket
never to be used again this wash

yeah but there mf with a bit off fluff

its alright when you can buy panels but most of our cars are forgotten oddballs

very time consuming with no panels, I guess the mx5 has that going for it
you can make the rear inner arch out of modified ousters and the rest of the panels are easy to come by

it depends on who's testing too, some are super strict.

So revisiting my bmw wagon thing:
It's gg'ed and I very well may be the one at fault
Engine oil was at minimum today; I had to add a quart. Still leaking
It has a 6-step transmission which made the gearing really akward for me coming from 5-step performance/sport trans tuners (like that janky old '03 saab 9-5). On the bmw, the first speed is too small and the second is somehow still geared too high. Out of frustration, I was taking her on first well past 40k rpm and skipping the second gear altogether going straight to third
Sometimes I even hit the tail end of the redline. The day I did that was exactly when I noticed the first fresh oil drips on driveway too. A few days ago, I checked the exhaust and the second pipe supposedly doesn't ever open. Somebody on a forum wrote this and how "they accelerate like grandmas".
Bottom line: I think I over-reved the engine and blew something open 
🙃
dense shard
You can't really overrev a car if you're upshifting.
Fuel cutoff will stop you before you damage anything.
If you're going from 4 > 3 or 3> 1, that could blow it up, but you'd have a dead car.
copper oyster
Well I mean I took it to almost red on first straight to third to avoid shifting 1->2
dense shard
That shouldn't damage anything.
I've given my Corolla the beans plenty of times, no issues.
copper oyster
And that day I started spazzing out and doing that it seemed to had manifested
Well it was probably old and had warn out seals or gaskets n sht
dense shard
I'd just take it easy on the shifting all the same.
copper oyster
But I definitely didn't do it any good by spinning it up so much
dense shard
Is this a 4 cylinder or 6?
copper oyster
I think it's v6
stiff burrow
why go straight from 1-3? if 1st gear is really so short why not start in 2nd
dense shard
I should have asked, what year rather.
stiff burrow
if its bmw its an i6

If you are leaking oil. Could be ... well stick your head underneath the car and take a gander
copper oyster
535i wagon. Long af nose. Was adding oil pretty sure it was 6 cylinder mounted straight. But then again, everything is shrouded lol
dense shard
You'll know pretty fast.
copper oyster
No it's leaking engine oil for sure. That I established
copper oyster
Also when I opened up the valve, it was pretty hot and even steaming a bit. I think it's burning the oil too lol
Or maybe it's because it was at minimum? Wouldn't that cause it to burn easier? Whatever I put the craziest sounding weighted oil it said in manual with engine oil and full synthetic keywords on bottle lol
Wasn't the two most cheapest options either so 🤷♂️ I'm not down to find out what bmw certified synthetic is and how much BMW charges for it + certified BMW(tm) service charge. Must be something magic about how they handle the funnel and have superb attention to details in the pour
I called up the actual owner of the car and suggested taking it to the service center close to home for parking lamp and brake replacement. BMW would run at least 500 CAD for the parts and service. They asked me literally if I was ****ed in the head: brake pad replacements are around 80 and service another few dozen bucks at local Russki certified(tm) family friend service center
Then I gotta change transmission oil to see if it'll stop the grinding when engine brakes in gear. Then figure out the belt passenger seat problem that appeared today after I poured oil (my friend was leaning on that side of the car outside when it happened?)
The automatic trunk door tries to kill me sometimes
Within the week I'm also supposed to pick up summers and put them on finally; this will involve like 269km round trip at least (York Region to Hamilton and back if you know Ontario)
Tl;dr I think I'm gona park this bmw back from whence it came and lease a prius or something
dense shard
That sounds like a good idea.
copper oyster
Apparently that's what people do. I was told the sweet spot is 24mo lease priuses and trade in for next prius
All that's left is sexchange and I have the cheapest insurance in the world! Toyota won't get a chance to melt into ground if you get a new one every two years as well
My only fear would be freeways and doing anything over 100kph: I've been in my buddy's yaris and it literally topped out under 120 because wind that day. Once you pick up speed it's like kiteboarding. You have to like rudder trim with the car's body to stay on course

Hey guys, I got a question, im thinking of buying a project car to daily drive. I want a compact sport-esque vehicle (like a sportback or a coupe). So far I have been really intrested in audis like a TT variant. Saw a couple of 2001 models going for ~3300€, is that a good deal? They work and stuff and they have a nice looking chasis. Would that be a good choice or are there any better ones? Is there anything I should look out for?

Theyre pretty hard to distinguish. First an auto one, then a manual. I think the auto one had the engine rebuild and swapped into manual...
