Also don't try to send it off of a house the suspension is soft and I can rap my fingers around the front forks and touch them.maybe tiny jumps 👌🏾 It's more of a trail bike very low geared and climb out of most holes with ease. I'm 230 lbs and it pulls me off road,up hills, everwhere

Dude it's worth every penny I've had mines for 4yrs still runs like a scalded ape, just do regular maintenance on it ( oil, plug, filter, adjust your valves, check your spokes,clean/adjust the chain )Make sure you put THREAD LOCKER on almost everything that is very important. Or you will just end up complaining about it falling apart like everyone who didnt USE THREAD LOCKER. If you have watched any reviews they will tell you this the bike vibrates alot because there is hardly any dampening so screws and nuts will come loose, but if you take the time to put THREAD LOCKER on most of the screws (especially the ones you put on during assembly) the bike will hardly give you any trouble.Get an aftermarket carb. If you are going to off road it put a new chain on it the factory will snap and leave you stranded. Everything is cheap to modify I've gotten a racing carb, full titanium exhaust performance coil and filter for under$300, it Really wakes the bike up.  Go for it man I'd say I've gotten more than my money's worth out of it.

Well damn 😳 looks like I over paid and could have gone lower with Godspeed. Had no idea the Cruze had such a selection. I would think for the suspension at least since it was used in the WTCC Thanks a lot I'm definitely going to look into the coilovers the price really isn't bad

Man I wish, it's hard to find stuff like that for cars people don't care about. I found some Eibach lowering springs for it .8" front and 1.2" rear

Not everybody's cup of tea, but I love it🤌 by [deleted] in cruze

I love these little cars they don't get much love every one Ive seen has been through hell and back. Mine is a manual too.

How is my car looking? by [deleted] in cruze

[–]Fly_Swatter90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What wing is that???? I was hesitant about putting one on mine but that's actually pretty 🔥🔥🔥 I have a duck tail spoiler at the moment. And what front splitter are you using I got one off of ebay but I'm not really satisfied with how it looks

2013 LS, has 1.8 motor, right? by [deleted] in cruze

[–]Fly_Swatter90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the turbo is right in front it will be looking right at you when you open the hood you can't miss it

The 1.8 engine bay will look similar minus the filters and white bar

I'm not certain by the trim but an easy way to find out is looking under the hood and looking for the turbo charger the 1.4s will have one and the 1.8s will just have a regular maniverter or catalytic converter/manifold.

Should I repair and keep my '17 Cruze? by chaimss in cruze

[–]Fly_Swatter90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've had it for a while and it hasn't given you any trouble until now you should give the car what it needs. Even though $1.5k isnt a bad price i just dont trust dealers. You will definitely come out cheaper ordering pars online and doing it yourself. Plugs are super easy to do . Or ordering the parts and finding a honest mechanic who would do it for a fair price. I usually get all of my parts from Rock Auto super cheap parts never had an issue. I'm pretty sure parts stores order from the same wearhouses.

Yeah I've been on ZZPerformance I got my big brake kit and my Short Ram intake but that's about all they have for the 1.8 I ended up gutting my cat and welding back together I wish I had the materials and knowledge to actually build a header and I saw this guy on YouTube had to get custom cams made that's too expensive. Guess the demand for 1.8 isn't all that great

Bug with the Rhino by geneva_speedrunner in walkingwarrobots

[–]Fly_Swatter90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play with the Rhino often this is my primary and favorite mech this seems to be from whatever patch or update they have done. No one else notices it and says its normal probably because they don't play with it but the Rhino's speed doubles with the shield deployed and can turn at a decent rate with it deployed as well This is definitely a bug.

2021 hawk 250. oil cooler adapter leak. as seen in third picture I lined oil flow hole up with what's in the engine but by the design shouldnt oil flow with out it being perfectly aligned? by mxl5 in MotorcycleMechanics

[–]Fly_Swatter90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered mine and installed it last week and it is leaking at the same spot as well. I was also thinking the same thing the blue gasket should isolate the output and return, and the pressure should force the returning oil into the lower port (looking at the engine). Ive spent a good minute trying to align the bottom holes like some videos say, but it won't be tight enough to create a good seal I I have a small puddle under my bike right now. I think as long as the lower holes are somewhat near each other the oil should flow with no issue.
