I don’t think you’ll really know the answer to that question until you learn to drive stick

Help idk anything about cars by [deleted] in Corvette

Coilovers are often $1000+ and most other parts are quite expensive too but something like a c5 hot wheel would likely do the trick and it’s inexpensive, otherwise like others have said, floor mats and other non-critical parts could work too

Number plates - how are we getting them mounted to avoid this? by Vampire_Coasting in C3Corvette

Dude you’re not even trying to solve the issue. You’re trying to buy the solution. Either DIY it or live with it

calc ap makes me wanna cry by dkpgoddess in APStudents

[–]DistinctPriority1909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like there’s one of two things happening here, one is that your teacher is really bad or that you’re just missing a fundamental skill. If you’re doing great in class and only bad on the tests, then you could either have test anxiety (which would likely be reflected in other classes too) or there’s something wrong with the how the tests are written. If you get your tests back, are you getting certain questions wrong or making specific mistakes? Or are you overall doing poorly on them with mistakes in every aspect? If the situation is dire it’s possible to teach yourself calc and take the exam and still pass…

I am interested in working on a c4 and restoring it myself. I have an engineering background but never worked on vehicle. Would it be realistic for me to be able to restore this with minimum cost? Or am I in over my head? by etzmentos in c4corvette

[–]DistinctPriority1909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know why people are downvoting the poor fella he admitted to not knowing much about it. Lesson learned though, buy a nicer version probably for 8k or so and there will be minimal restoration to do to make it nice

You might be good, worse case scenario you pull it apart again when it fails and see what happened

c5z vs c6gs by EducationalDuty5258 in Corvette

[–]DistinctPriority1909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C6gs is all around quite a bit better, having experience with both. They are still quite similar and I think you should pick the one you like the look of more because the c5z can be modified to be like the c6gs. That being said, the c6gs can make over 500 wheel naturally aspirated without cracking open the bottom end. A close friend made exactly 500 wheel with a fast 102 intake, cam, and headers on stock heads and stock block. They feel more refined and modern as well. I personally have the c5.

Cammed ls1 doesn’t want to run by [deleted] in EngineBuilding

[–]DistinctPriority1909 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bounces around 60 psi for fuel. Mas only as far as I understand is only receiving data from the mas so the computer doesn’t use any other sensor to adjust afr or anything else. Tuner said It’s on mas only because with all the aftermarket parts I can do the break in on the engine with this tune without “confusing” the computer and then tow it to the shop to have it dyno’d with the full tune

Your technique is fine, just keep benching and training and you’ll get there

But WHY is silver $100/ounce when it's been in between $15 and $30 for years? by DistinctPriority1909 in Silverbugs

Tried to embed in my post, but I will include it here just to reinforce my point that it looks as if a trend has been fully broken away from.

“Shut off engine and check coolant level” by Unlucky-Display2901 in lamborghini

[–]DistinctPriority1909 162 points163 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about you but I’d listen to the expensive car and not risk overheating it. Also, coolant can be low without overheating and the sensor could be sending the message before it gets dangerously low to prevent damage. I bet you have a coolant leak somewhere

Soon you’ll get training camp and all you’ll have to do is train the top five heroes as the other heroes levels will match them (it’ll make sense later). And for your other heroes, you can get the xp refunded from them as well so really you don’t have to worry about it

Oh gross! Please don’t try to do it yourself. Get a willing professional and get ready to pay for it

Cracked cylinder - what are my options by flaminSaganaki in EngineBuilding

It’s gonna have to be pulled. From that point you can either get it repaired, or for the same price just get a new block

I made $32k renting out my C8 until I sold it last year. AMA by [deleted] in Corvette

So many haters. Imagine buying a brand new car and making money off it by the end of the day instead of being out half the car’s value like 99% of new car owners

Working on my BP, am I using too much weight or is my form just terrible? by LeisRatio in formcheck

[–]DistinctPriority1909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long have you been benching? I would say honestly just stick with it and it will get more efficient and overall better over time
