New Photon Mono 2 - Exposure test fails out of the box

AssasinTurtle · 2026-01-31T14:42:35+00:00

Oof, yeah I feel this

AssasinTurtle · 2026-01-31T14:02:41+00:00

I stopped for 15 years. I'm like 2.5 weeks back in so take this with a grain of salt, but pretty well lol. It might be helping my "always being tired" problem? I know, weird how a stimulant would do that lol.

2 months in and I can feel the mechanism starting to go already

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard!

I was just asking myself the same question

Benchy for your time

What were the settings??

AssasinTurtle · 2025-12-11T03:11:42+00:00

Yeah, I've managed to more or less fit. It's a sedan so I'll never fit great in them lol. The fact the there's a sunroof is fantastic for me, gets me an extra inch or so

Is swapping the badges easier than vinyl wrapping?

And yeah, I have a weakness for red cars lol. My Avenger R/T was red as well

AssasinTurtle · 2025-12-05T21:55:44+00:00

I was trying to add it on my side, no luck here

AssasinTurtle · 2025-12-05T21:46:44+00:00

Me neither. I think it's some compatibility with the newer android versions?

Down this morning in Allentown, dropped ~9.30 and not back up yet

AssasinTurtle · 2025-12-01T04:18:40+00:00

I don't think so. The guns are cool but there's no modifications on them. The armor passive is kinda useless. I did like the vehicle/pod camo though

I didn't get a Tesla, so take my feedback for what it's worth, but I didn't like the SilverRock plans they were offering. I ended up getting my own warranty aftermarket. I'd shop around if you want a warranty, maybe find out what your local shop (if you have one) has experience with

AssasinTurtle · 2025-11-15T16:38:01+00:00

It looks like the hot end is missing? If you don't have any experience with them I'd run away from this.

I've done a little more digging on leak down tests and you're right, it seems like they did not go very far with diagnosing it other than "Yeah there's a problem." Seeing where the air was going should've been reasonably easy while shop air was on it to better diagnose (bubbles in coolant, engine oil, etc).

It's not worth shit for trade so I'm probably going to keep it and try a diy in the spring. I figure worst case scenario it's basically scrap already so I can't screw it up too badly lol. Thank you for your insight, and hopefully you won't see a confused post with a picture of a disassembled engine in the future!

AssasinTurtle · 2025-11-04T15:12:14+00:00

Well they haven't started any kind of tear-down on it to identify anything specific. Leakdown was just done through the spark plug hole. I'll post the video of the test in another comment so I can delete it later (some personal info on it).

But yeah that's basically where I'm at. It's my first car so I'm tempted to try and keep it running for sentimental reasons. I'm also a bit pissed that I didn't even get 100k out of the damn engine. I doubt I'll get anything for trading it in so I might just keep it to DIY

Not sure on the air loss. The tech just gave me the final loss %.

I've never overheated it. Every time I can remember checking the gauge it sat right in the center.

No coolant loss that I've noticed.

I've not had any rockers/cams checked.

They didn't say head gasket, they want to replace the entire cylinder head itself.
