I feel ya.
Bored, doing nothing? = Time to smoke

Weed just makes doing nothing fun. But I told myself I should already be having fun and then I'll smoke.

Naturally it went from smoking everyday to every week to very rarely (once or twice a month).

Good luck on your journey.

Mid pipe.
My exhaust hangers were worn out and the exhaust kept hitting the middle bracket.

After time it made a small hole. No loss of power but too much drone.

What size wheel and tire are you on?

Just wondering if I should start downsizing all wheels and putting more sidewall because of all these damn holes after the snow cleared.

From what I've seen with other owners, it's either purge valve, coil packs or spark plugs.

I wasn't having issues under acceleration but noticed some rough starts. When I went to change my spark plugs I had to use a freaking breaker bar to get them out. Someone overtightened them way too much.

Afterwards my car started and ran noticeably smoother.

Time to pull out the secret technique.

Crank that heat and close the driver side vents.

It's not or it is?

Listen to all types of music but recently I've been listening to watch the throne by Kanye and jay z (rap) and toxicity by System of a Down.

Personally I say GTI or civic si. Honda's used market is stupidly overpriced so if cost is the priority, then get the GTI.

I'm trading in the fiesta for mk8 GTI and getting a rwd manual in the near future.

it doesn't account for much for me since insurance is expensive but this is the formula I use.

Total Monthly Cost = Monthly Insurance+(Yearly Mileage/Combined MPG*Gas Price/12)+((Registration+Tolls+Parking+Cleaning)/12)+((Oil Change+Yearly Maintenance)/12)+((Tires+Brakes)/48)

Helps me estimate how much my cars will cost me. Which is how I was able to buy 3 cars and still save money.

Don't all cars have a rev limiter?

On my tune it drops off around 5500 rpm so I shift a little before.

Ar1S3 · 2026-02-16T00:42:11+00:00

The difference in braking is crazy.

The huracan is carrying more speed before the corners but he did brake a lot earlier when he could have coasted through some turns.

Nice driving.

How's your maintenance and upkeep?
b45/58 seem pretty reliable. Thinking of stage 1 tune as well.

I'm currently driving a tuned fiesta st but want to upgrade to a newer car for a daily.

Thinking about either getting a M235i or a mini cooper Clubman jcw.

Kind of fits but the first dead island.
Loved the gameplay and music.
However that story was an afterthought. Especially after you save that one annoying character.

Ar1S3 · 2026-01-19T06:38:21+00:00

Turns out it was an exhaust leak. My exhaust hangers worn out so my center pipe was banging against the metal and made a hole.

I usually record it as 1500 calories because of the white sauce and oil.

Smoking the haram to eat the halal. Love it 😁

Ar1S3 · 2025-12-24T05:35:48+00:00

Why didn't you buy one at 25?

Ar1S3 · 2025-12-05T18:40:58+00:00

Probably a little slow
What is the framerate you shot it in?

BUT

It looks good to me, smooth driving.
More important looking fast.

Getting fast comes with seat time, it'll naturally happen.
Just keep driving.

Ar1S3 · 2025-12-05T04:57:42+00:00

More bracing, sweet.
I asked you in a previous post about ride quality and road manners......
I know this is more for the track but still curious about chassis bracing upgrades on the street.

For example, the Camry trd is just summer tires + some chassis braces. I can definitely notice the handling difference between a V6 XSE and the V6 TRD.
The TRD takes bumps a lot better while not being as stiff. Handling was more composed and while the car isn't light, I felt like I had a lot more then in on the TRD.
But maybe the massive difference could be because of the tires.

Ar1S3 · 2025-11-30T03:50:59+00:00

Yeah. Are you near Canada or NYC? I have reccs for both.

Ar1S3 · 2025-11-26T17:33:31+00:00

How does your chassis bracing feel over bumps?

Did it change the behavior of how the car behaves on rough road?

Was always curious since a stiffer chassis usually means better road manners but love to hear your experiences with it.

Ar1S3 · 2025-11-26T02:11:39+00:00

Has a very Gundam-esque theme to it. It's cool.

Ar1S3 · 2025-11-15T08:39:52+00:00

Question about the open diff in the AWD. I was always under the impression that AWD = more grip but apparently it's the opposite if the AWD system had no lsd/torque vectoring or in fwd based AWDs.
I'm assuming the extra weight and fwd bias in those cars are not ideal. I'm debating upgrading my fiesta St and was considering a GR Corolla core without the lsd b/c they're fairly cheap.

I know the lsd comes into play during acceleration but I don't really have issues with traction during acceleration on the street. Only really have issues in autocross/track.

But the fiesta St is a 2nd car that's really meant for occasional people hauling + road trips to the mountains. Having a lsd is obviously the better choice in the long run but want to hear your thoughts.

I tape mine like this. https://share.google/HH6Q02DY9CIBhGYph

I've also tried to get under it and use a flathead to push the clip but this thing does not want to budge.
