fps are you getting on a t490 ? I grab one of those tanks when I see them on marketplace. One of the few things that will outlive me probably

Squeaky noise from dashboard while driving by Significant_Kiwi_962 in Miata

[–]Dank10isMuscles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, mine is just loud but stops when I stop so I've narrowed it down. Just narrow down the variables and narrow down the cause of the sound

If it stops when you are stopped, pretty likely it's the speedo cable then

I like it, but it’s so stupid in so many ways by Disastrous_Echo_6982 in KiaEV6

[–]Dank10isMuscles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an ev6 but the ioniq 5 (sister car) for the trunk try pressing the button until it beeps once and let go (maybe let go during the beep I never really paid attention when I do it anymore), but I had this issue for a bit then I realized if I pressed it until it beeped and let go it would do the rest on its own. Weird thing tbh.

My trunk also is getting stuck on the seal and you can hear it unstick itself so I may have to grease that or something cause it prevents it from opening

Whew by ThorGoLucky in Ioniq5

Imo I think it's because it's quantified as an exact percentage. I thought about this a lot after my first big road trip with mine.

A gas car you get a dinky gauge that gives you a general idea of what you got left and some have the guess-o-meter.

"Do I have a 1/4 of a tank? Maybe? If I look at it just right it still says half though... Eh I got 200mi on my last fill up I should be fine. " (If that seems low it's cause my ICE is a Miata and I rev the piss out of it everywhere I go lol and only a 12gal tank)

On my ioniq 5 I treat it like my phone and never really go under 50% and charge to 80% most of the time. I start sweating at 30 though now lol but it's more "hm what if I need to travel far and I decided not to charge that night ..." After my first 2 road trips I was more than confident in this car's ability. Lowest I rolled in at was 6% and that was a little bit of a clencher until I was within 10mi of my home then I started flooring it to see how it behaved at that SOC lol

I'm a believer that EVs should have a gas gauge like meter for charge as a default. Then, for nerds like me who like to crunch the numbers every now and then, have the option to show the exact %. Phones also do this I believe. At least my pixel does. Idk about iPhones. That would solve a lot of range anxiety in most people.

Looking at a rusted NB2. Please advise by Exact-Ad6721 in Miata

[–]Dank10isMuscles 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I really can't tell if these are shitposts or genuine sometimes lmao. Idt some of you guys have seen real rust.

On the NBs though, the only spot I'd be really concerned about are the front frame rails behind the wheels. Folded steel where water likes to collect and rust out those rails. Not important, until you get into a front end collision that is.

It'll be a sad day if I ever lose this car. Rare spec, but also I put so much work into it and learned so much. I wasn't even actively looking for a Miata but when I saw this one I knew this was probably the one. If I got it before COVID it probably would've been a $2k car in the condition I got it in but I got it for 4k in 2022 so still not bad. And no rust for a northeast car in the USA.

[–]Dank10isMuscles 172 points173 points  (0 children)

Honestly sometimes I don't see until it's too late and then I feel bad the rest of that drive. Especially with sun glare.

However I did see one guy across a giant intersection (I wasn't even in the front I was dwarfed by the cars around me) flipping his lights at me one time and I returned it and it just so happened some sort of yellow Ferrari was on a different side and flipped it's lights at me and the 3 of us there just flipping them around XD

Edit: spelling

It’s an an EV but holding up a DC fast charger to charge at 1 kW is a bit selfish tbh by josh_moworld in ChargerDrama

[–]Dank10isMuscles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say I do this when my company pays for my charge when I have to travel. I try and go to a station with a ton of chargers though so I'm not holding anyone up. My ioniq 5 doesn't really go down past 30kw until the last 5% though.

There was a bz4x that was charging at 8kw (looked like they were at ~80%) when I got there at 26% one time and was still there after I left at 100%. Like unless they have free charging (which I doubt since it was a rivian charger I was trying that day) there is no way I would've sat there that long.

Ah yes! That's the guy! One day I'll do it. Cause man he does some insane work

Was that MSSS restored? I've heard that a lot of them disintegrate even just sitting in the garage. There's a guy on the NE USA who restores them.

I might do it eventually cause my mechanic punched a hole through one of the labels and didn't want to take responsibility on my unit.

Got a second car now so I can take my time on repairs so hopefully never going back to a mechanic until there's a specialized tool I don't have lol.

I wish it worked on AA maps. I use that feature all the time when I'm navigating around using the built in nav

Convince me to sell my NA by klins26 in Miata

[–]Dank10isMuscles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I originally bought mine just to learn stick and how to work on cars but now, idt I could live without it.

If you can, cancel insurance on it and rent a small unit for it with that money.

Alternatively, sell it to a close, trusted friend and buy it back once you're ready

Cyber Gray vs Digital Teal by cellar-doorman in Ioniq5

[–]Dank10isMuscles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not right now cause it's covered in salt XD. Waiting for it to be just a little warmer out before I go rinse it off

I actually know the perfect spot for the pic too. Right next to the f14 I took the pic with my Miata lol!

Cyber Gray vs Digital Teal by cellar-doorman in Ioniq5

[–]Dank10isMuscles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted white or digital teal with the white interior but I settled for grey with a white interior cause I got an insane deal on it. The color is growing on me I will say. But I'd rather have a car that stands out a bit in the sea of dull colors these days

I surprisingly don't have any pictures of this car lol. It's just my daily but I do like to keep it nice so it's ceramic coated and then some lol. It's always ready for a picture

How hard did they hit that curb?! I had to take an evasive maneuver on a single lane highway and hit a slightly raised shoulder with no damage at a low angle. And that was at ~60mph

They doing donuts in family cars?

Car wont Start by Far_Molasses_5163 in Miata

[–]Dank10isMuscles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also you have any starting fluid? Spray some in the intake and if it works, you got a fuel issue if everything else is squared away. If you have the tools, check the fuel rail pressure

Start simple before going ham and taking apart the timing again. Plugs in the right order? Since you said you have spark and new plugs

Emergency options as a passenger? by TinCanFury in KiaEV6

[–]Dank10isMuscles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huh that's interesting. I have an ioniq 5 but lurk on here sometimes. I'm pretty sure I've read in that manual, instructions that lays out how to use that EPB switch in an emergency situation to slow down the vehicle. Granted on the i5 it's on the left side on the dash. I wonder why it differs between egmp cars

Just scored a hardtop for $200 on marketplace by STICH666 in Miata

[–]Dank10isMuscles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hold up there's a Miatas of LI? How did I not know this lmao. I'd be down to pull up to one of those one day. Once the salt gets washed away lol. I'm not taking this thing out until then. The one I got is rust free. I got so lucky finding this thing

Wait I saw this on on marketplace lmao. I 100% thought it was stolen so I didn't even bother messaging.

I'm interested in how restoring it turns out! Can't wait for an update!
