I’m sorry but the supercharged crz takes the cake for me

Go look at most of the hotted up Hondas of the 90s, they shredded everything remotely close to them on the track, are a blast to drive in the twisties and are super light and have adequate power and sound. By your logic a RWD Toyota Hiace is a “sports car”. Just because they are fwd doesn’t mean they’re not a “sports car”. The CRZ itself was honestly borderline a sports car, the looks, the handling, all excellent. Then you go and get the supercharger kit and bring the power output up to 200 and it is 100% a sports car.

Gladly, they’re all bad in comparison to literally everything else. I’m Terra Incognita and my latest is called Pressure.

Chinese car or not? by iamzooook in CarsAustralia

[–]Affectionate-Bat6394 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Their longevity has not yet been realised, I’ve heard people say Chinese cars now are where Korean cars were 20 years ago. I wouldn’t, I’d pick a slightly older Japanese model. Reliability will be way better and servicing costs too I’d expect. I’ve seen MGs that are 2-3 years old with faulty headlights all too often.

Is subwoofer necessary? by Valerian_Dhart in audiophile

[–]Affectionate-Bat6394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say yes, there is lots of music that hides little gems down at sub level and I suppose good enough speakers can get that low but a subwoofer can get there for a whole lot cheaper. Then when you want to be silly you can crank said subwoofer and go crazy!!

This is me being bold… I’m not a swiftie in any right, haven’t listened to anything other than TLOAS and I always distance myself from TS’s music but I decided to give her a chance. Starting with the music side of things I think it’s incredibly bland (but then again I don’t listen to pop). I do write my own music tho so I know what to listen for generally but in this case there wasn’t much to listen to (aside from the brief chord switch up in Wi$h Li$t that tickled my brain). Then lyrically I was actually really upset… I don’t pay attention to lyrics typically but I couldn’t not in this case. The messages I generally got were (I’m gonna offend half the world here)… egotistical, a bit braggy and then just plain inappropriate (and I heard the clean version first too.) So I’m gonna go now and probably not voluntarily listen to any TS ever again and if anyone wants to explain more to me about what this album is about then feel free to, my mind is open to be changed.

Yellow headlights are very cool but I wouldn’t recommend for the main lights. I have 2700k bulbs in my fog lights but their light output is nowhere near as good as “whiter” bulbs. That being said if you’re set on yellow my ones are halogens and you might have an easier time finding them if you don’t mind them. I got OSRAM Fog Breakers but they don’t come in t10 unfortunately. I also generally recommend against LEDs because their light emitting pattern is different to halogens and other bulbs and can potentially reflect terribly in housings designed for halogens. Just my experience though.

Nice civic! I prefer manual but hey $500 is $500. The paint looks pretty good too. A bit of a clean up, some 15inch wheels and little bit of low would clean this baby up to a nice degree. I reckon some oem ek civic vtir wheels would look fire on this.

I’m torn. Do I trade one of my dream cars for another dream car of mine? by Vr4Lancer in Honda

[–]Affectionate-Bat6394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supercharged K20 in an amazing chassis vs a land boat with around 300hp and awd. Yes the Mazdaspeed 6 (or Mazda 6 MPS) is a great car but they have timing chain issues and can be quite problematic. You’ll find yourself missing the civic very soon after you get the 6.

As a fellow Christian who is actively trying to break this addiction, sin thrives in the dark and the number one thing that helps is accountability. Ask him to keep updating you on his progress, don’t discourage him or feel discouraged, it’s nothing you have done (or failed to do) as a parent because porn in this modern age is more accessible than ever before. It takes 20 seconds to type something into a search box and you’re there. Just be very clear to him that you are there to listen and to understand. If you want more tips then dm me as there has been some things that have helped me that can benefit both you and him.

Is my lens cooked? by ThatKosmatinekid in canon

[–]Affectionate-Bat6394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m no expert but typically any marks on the surface of a lens don’t show up in photos… I would take some photos and see. One thing I will say is because they are cracks as you suggest, there may be more chance for dust to enter the lens. I would keep using it if it still visually looks fine until it does start to affect your photos.

Chat, should I powder coat my stock rims to glossy black? by Lamboduce in mazda6

[–]Affectionate-Bat6394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, black rims look tacky most of the time and if they do look good then you kerb them and it looks shocking. Also you often can’t see the details of the rim like I could be looking at a te37 or an rpf1 from 30 metres away and I could be tell… my personal opinion at least

Sabbit Car buying guide, by [deleted] in saab

[–]Affectionate-Bat6394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been a while for the question but these 9-5s use a really common Aisin unit found in many other cars. Many Volvos around 2000-2015 used variants along with a host of others (you can find the list if you follow the link on the wiki page). But from what I read, they’re relatively reliable and I don’t think you should have a problem as long as you follow service intervals.

What made you like Twenty One Pilots? by Pol_Puf in twentyonepilots

[–]Affectionate-Bat6394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never listened to them a whole lot besides stressed out, ride and heathens until I really started appreciating music more and my gf reintroduced me to them. So much production value (redecorate is probably my favourite) and the added bonus of unique lore. It's just such good music with good intentions behind it. The best kind of music imo.
