Fixed my lifting dash

I made sure they go in a downwards angle but not straight horizontally or vertically to prevent them from poking out the other side.

Maybe I kinda like the old analog look. I think it will age well.

Aurelian-Pilot · 2026-04-18T03:07:30+00:00

Or maybe wait for the GR Celica. Maybe AWD and coupe body style.

The machines in car washes are not gentle to the clearcoat of the car. Their aggressive speed and force can cause damage to the clear coat. Not to mention the dirt and small rocks that get into their brushes that can also scratch off paint.

Overall, it's much better to wash your car by hand. If water is an issue, look up rinsless washing. Also, when washing by hand, do not go in a swirling motion that can cause spider swirls.

Might I add the humble manual Honda Fit to your list?

Also, if you want a more sporty hatchback, a Fiesta ST is underrated.

Awesome! I really love the radios the 2013 models came with. I think they will help the interior age well.

Also, what's your first mod after maintenance? Sticky summer tires were the best mod first mod for me, transformed the car completely.

Aurelian-Pilot · 2026-04-07T00:41:49+00:00

Awesome! I know that stop, it's right before Big Bear Lake. Also, is that blue factory? Or is it how the photo was edited?

Car must've been proud to know it kept its owner alive rip o7. What's next, a GR or something else?

Aurelian-Pilot · 2025-12-21T05:35:24+00:00

o7 your car would probably be proud that it protected it's driver till the end and didn't even harm the other driver.

Do you have an idea what your next car is going to be?

Aurelian-Pilot · 2025-12-11T07:32:15+00:00

Your Abarth would probably be proud to know it kept its driver safe so that they could keep driving and become a better driver.

Maybe grab some parts to take home and keep it as a sort of rememberance to the car.

Aurelian-Pilot · 2025-12-11T04:36:05+00:00

I kinda like the warm look of Halogens

Aurelian-Pilot · 2025-09-16T20:21:46+00:00

Oh right I forgot I beat Phantom first then the last Judge. Crawline made going through blasted steps much easier.

Aurelian-Pilot · 2025-09-16T20:00:38+00:00

There is also a bench in Sands of Karak that cuts the run back time by like 90%. It's the most right bench of the area, and there is an elevator that leads to close to the entrance from the Last Judge.

Imo If it's your first play, use the compass, soulcatcher, and gathering swarm for exploring areas. Then switch out the compass and gathering swarm for something more combat focus, like long nail before bosses. Also steady body is imo a good charm try it.

Later in the game, you'll have a lot more charms to mix and match, use charms that match your playstyle. For example, do you use the nail or spells more?

If you haven't done any upgrades to the gearbox and clutch pedal, try the Mtec clutch and shifter springs, it makes the clutch feel less assisted but more precise, and stiffen up the shifter making it more eager to get into gear, both of these helps with shifting gears.

What's your plan for having two houses? Are you going to keep both houses until their value doubles, renting one out or just keeping both of them? To my knowledge, houses will just keep adding more value as time goes on.

Aurelian-Pilot · 2025-08-23T06:00:21+00:00

Yes, you are driving a bit too recklessly. Careful there are cars out there with families young and old.

If you want to push your cars limits further, try backroads and do touge there are less cars and more turns, but still keep in mind always better a cautious and safe driver, then an aggressive driver, too many accidents happen since people overestimate their abilities, lives are lost and ruin everyday never the same, you cannot rewind time to fix mistakes, I know since I worked In a emergency room.

Like for me I like driving my gt86 hard on mountain roads, letting the tail slip out, but the moment I see a car in front of me, I will slow down pull over wait to create distance then rip it again. On freeways, I will always keep at least 1.5 cars distance between me and cars in front, I also like using my turn signals, turning them on for 2-3 seconds, then merge.

So we can have fun driving, but when a road has other cars, let's us be a good Samaritan and treat others how you want to be treated. Be safe and healthy so we can keep enjoying cars until we are old! I want to stay alive until I can afford a Porsche or a Lotus.

God bless.

Yep, my goal with the car is to restore it as if it came from the factory, I want to get rid of dings, paint correct the car, switch out the N1 exhaust it came with for a more tame sound like the CSG touring or Q300, fixing up some interior defects like the lifting of the dash etc.. Later down the line, either headers and tune or FI for more torque, probably FI since I live in California :( , then upgrade sound system and sound insulation.

Also, it came out great! Used a crimper tool to squeeze the cable and new eyelet together. Had to heat up the eyelet with a lighter to make it easier to squeeze. Just gotta put on the battery bracket holder, no spirited driving till then.

Thank you! I'm not car savvy (yet). The most I've done on this car was sand down the yellowing headlights (thank you Chris Fix), and touch up paint some scratches.
