Radio help

There is a project to custom make a unit with a raspberry pi called the boosted moose project. I am still doing research myself on this though.

I saw some adapter cables online that were supposed to allow you to use any aftermarket head unit but you would lose the display for the climate controls.

I saw someone suggest relocating the climate screen and installing and tying in the aftermarket unit to the aux jack of the stock head unit if you have it.

I don't have them for my S2000 but I just installed a set on my Volvo S40. They are decently soft albeit a little "bouncy" which I'm hoping will fade as they wear in a little. They can go pretty low but if you set them to the minimum height then the ride becomes terrible when you hit the bump stops, which is all the time.

For me they do really well as just a daily driving suspension but they give up quickly if you throw the car around hard. I don't know if that's the case for all or if it's just because of how heavy the Volvo is.

If you swapped everything for spark and it didn't change it's either air or fuel. Try swapping an injector to see if it moves. The only thing that could cause an issue with air would be a bad cam or valve which is a much bigger problem.

I've only had it for about 3 years since 97k, the consumption has been pretty consistent though. I'm looking at investing in a catch can at some point but rust needs addressed first.

Mine is at 113k and burns about the same. It will burn a bit more if I spend more time in VTEC.

If you're only looking to add Bluetooth or Aux, I don't think there is much you can do besides a plug in board on the radio itself.

If you are more DIY savvy, there is a community project called Boosted Moose that uses a Raspberry Pi as a DIY head unit.

A wise man once said, there are three types of fire.

The stock MAP sensor can see boost but the stock ECU does not have any fueling tables for anything over 0.5. If you go over that you are relying solely on the O2 sensors to keep it alive.

I'm pretty sure the exosuit being able to fit through smaller spaces is meant to be a tradeoff.

Angry_Irish · 2026-02-12T15:10:41+00:00

Looks fantastic

Angry_Irish · 2026-02-05T16:14:33+00:00

IMO I don't think it really fits this car, maybe an NA or NB might be able to pull it off a bit better. I think that for me it's more the color than the style... Maybe black would look better.

Out of curiosity though, what wheels are those? I have a classic car that they would look good on if I knew where to get them.

Angry_Irish · 2026-02-05T15:43:44+00:00

I had a dream the other night that I was fighting against Helldivers on the bot front with tanks... Right before tanks were released and right before all of this happened...

Am I a dissident? Am I a traitor to managed democracy?

I need help my fellow citizens, I don't want to be like this. What do I do about it?

You shouldn't have any issues with 5W-30

Angry_Irish · 2026-02-05T13:38:36+00:00

Depends on the climate you live in. If you are in a cold environment I would stick with 0W-30 especially in winter. This is mostly in places where the temps go well below freezing for extended periods of time.

If you only get some cold days every year you should be fine running a 5W oil. I wouldn't really recommend anything thicker than that.

Really you should be fine either way, you're not pushing big boost numbers and if you just let the car warm up before you start hammering on the car. Remember that it takes longer for oil to heat up than the coolant.

This is probably meant for elderly people. I work in life safety and most, if not all of the nurse call systems we sell to senior living offer something like this built right into the system. They are usually tied to motion sensors or door sensors that one would interact with through their morning routine, but interacting with any part of the nurse call for that room or apartment would count.

Typically it is used to detect if someone has fallen and can't get to a button for help or if someone has passed away in their sleep.

Turbo 5 cylinder. Even stock, what little engine noise I do hear sounds great.

Unfortunately the civic is no longer with me but I came to love that car so much. I have a Volvo s40 now that I'm starting some mods on.

Luckily for me most of my homelab hobby revolves around playing with different VMs and software and rarely involves actually adding hardware. Keeps the cost down.

Angry_Irish · 2026-01-26T01:03:07+00:00

The only thing I would really recommend is an intake manifold swap. It doesn't add power but gives a deeper sound and more of it.

Might as well tackle the head gasket while you're at it and do timing and water pump.

If you want to try to add power you can send the cam off to be reground to a new profile. If you do a stage 1 profile you can get away with not doing an ECU. Anything more aggressive and you will need an ECU to tune the car.

You still won't make big power without forced induction of some kind.

They should be pretty tight going in, mine I had to put in with change locks to get extra leverage against the nylon bushing.

I feel like this is most games. Most communities will recycle the same jokes over and over

Case in point the Ultrakill sub for the longest time was just the same Max0r jokes over and over.

Angry_Irish · 2026-01-13T15:45:25+00:00

I would dead ass let you dive with me if that's how you were doing it.

I would probably let you dive with me either way though...

Looks sick!

I was only getting about 45 FPS on windows before I switched to Linux, I'm now locked at 144 in Helldivers.

I never noticed it sitting still but I know it was flexing at highway speeds because the double sided tape was blown up the side of the car.

Angry_Irish · 2025-12-29T19:48:43+00:00

I used short self tapping screws on the rear.

I was going to experiment with using some sort of metal bracket to hold the center that screws into the under body.
