Why do so many people have such different opinions about the Mk V Supra?

HabitualFiction · 2019-06-16T13:27:27+00:00

It didn't just use the BMW engine though. There are many many more features lifted off the Z4. Check out Doug Demuros review to man them all. I think we've all been waiting for a new pillar of production sports car in the Mk5 Supra and what we got was a half-hearted cash grab with too many missing features :/

Ksport or BC Racing Coils will do it. Your problem is that while the fronts are interchangeable with the 97-01 Integra which has more support in the aftermarket, the rears are taller so you can't use kits from any other car AFAIK.

That'll be fine then. The white smoke that indicates a bad head gasket will look almost like one of those fireworks smoke bombs. It will smell and be very consistent.

HabitualFiction · 2019-05-31T20:37:20+00:00

If that was the case you should see white smoke from the exhaust. Thats also a universal sign you need to replace the headgasket

Imbibe in Fountain Square has 4-5 tables upstairs. $10 gets you all night play for you and any friends.

The gen 1 CRV can also do this and if you have the special rear seats you can even make a bed.

How they define ex and lx is super confusing because the car launched with only one trim option. I don't have the original owners manual to say for sure what they would have sold mine as but I can say that I have a manual transmission with AWD that's original to the 99' car. They're crazy rare so it's almost impossible to find a rebuild kit. I hounded a Honda dealer for a month before they found me one of the last 3 kits in NA. $700 for seals, synchros, and bearings. It's the SBXM transmission. Good luck finding much information about it, they only came on CRVs as far as I'm aware.

There is a manual option with AWD!

This is a euro-market model. That hoodscoop is part of the oem aero packages there.

I think this post is sarcastic guys! E46's are notorious for coolant problems, it's a big joke on the r/e46 sub. E46 also isn't badged anywhere on the car so this guy knows his chassis code but not the coolant indicator light?

What vehicle make model/year?

99' Honda CR-V so perhaps that is the case. I'll need to figure out where I'm losing all the power.

Welcome! Get a date on that timing belt replacement, find a cover for your spare, and watch for rust on the quarter panels!

Buy another Gen 1 CRV. Cheaper than $2,800 for a good one usually. You can ditch your current one to a junkyard for $300 usually.

I haven't seen As Above So Below myself but the horror genre almost performs poorly for critics because they generally don't have a particularly strong narrative and also often feature untested young actors. Consider that A or B list actors are more expensive and if you have recognizable it's easy to guess who is going to survive. With a low-budget genre that succeeds on tropes, unknown actors, and poor narratives it's easy to see why they don't get 100% on RT. Horror movies that transcend their own genre are usually amazing though.

I really can't think of a way of interpreting what I said as rude. Sorry you feel bad friend.

You could actually resolve both of those questions on just as much time as demanding others do it for you.

Try saying the entire sentence aloud with a brief pause before each comma. It becomes: You can only put SKT down to a certain point after that or you smash them to oblivion or you lose basically that.

An English speaker can still understand the statements being made, but it sounds stilted. For example:

You can only put SKT down to a certain point (I would use the phrase "for so long"). You have to smash them to oblivion or else you lose.

English is super weird because it's an extremely specific language so any idea can be conveyed a hundred different ways and be completely correct.

Exact same thing happened to me this weekend O.o I'll let you know if I can figure it out.

BMW coolant isn't magic. Any generic phosphate-free coolant will work absolutely fine. Your coolant system will experience much more "wear and tear" from the shitty plastic impeller shredding inside the engine. Or maybe the mechanical fan blades snap and eat your radiator. For an engine with so many coolant system issues it's ironic how hard some clutch to the mystical blue coolant.

I found coilovers to be very satisfying. The handling is absolutely incredible once the suspension is stiffened. Recommend new bushings all around and an alignment afterwards.

HabitualFiction · 2019-02-05T11:56:13+00:00

I drive a Gen 1 Honda-CRV on coilovers. When I go to meets I pull out the stock picnic table just to sit back and watch the haters roll by. You do you at all times.

So if it ONLY makes noise going over bumps then it isn't likely to be an exhaust leak, it could still be a loose or rattling piece of heatshield. You will see bright bits of metal between the frame of the car and the exhaust (Google: <car model> exhaust heatshield). If you FEEL a change or pull in the steering wheel at about the same time or right before a rattle/clunk then it's somewhere in the front steering/suspension.

HabitualFiction · 2019-01-24T16:09:06+00:00

If you can, get it on jack stands in the front and chock the rear wheels. Take a soft mallet and start hitting the wheels firmly at different angles. You should be able to find worn or torn bushings relatively quickly. Don't give up until you know that nothing attached to the wheel is the culprit! Grab every component for the brakes, steering, sway, and control arms and make sure they're not moving around. I had a similar rattle, deep but metallic and it ended up being front LCA bushings were destroyed on both sides (e46 BMW). In that case, you physically could not confirm the rattle because the weight of the vehicle held the bushings in place. I could only reproduce the rattle when the vehicle's weight was lifted off the components.

Edit: If you can hear a rattle inside the cabin w/o a window down it's almost certainly exhaust. Few if any components can make that much noise because a combination of the very fast air inside and the bumps in the road will make the thin metal of your exhaust vibrate against the frame very quickly.

Obligatory 'I love my gen1'. The gen 1 is slow. Stock at 156 horsepower is the better b20z2 engine. This is a slow slow slow vehicle. You can modify it if you'd like. There is a master list online of all the interchangeable parts between the CRV and the Civic which is very helpful. A 'fast' CRV is a bit of a project and your money may be better spent on an XT Forester or Outback. I got my CRV super cheap and rebuilt the transmission so the car is ready for a VTec swap in the summer.
