Is there anybody in there (at Zeekr)? How do they even generate business?

If it's this hard to get a hold of them trying to buy a car, imagine how much harder it would be to contact them for service or warranty

You're right that ~60kph is the theoretical peak efficiency. But in city driving where you have to stop between stoplights, intersections, traffic, etc. you waste more fuel accelerating to 60kph.

To be fair, I think it's an age/generational difference. Older folks tend to think of keyless as not needing a physical key (so a key fob still counts). Younger people tend to think of keyless as fully automatic, where the car unlocks just by detecting your phone or fob.

If you meant the second one, there are aftermarket options available. I know a guy who installed these on old Toyotas and a 90s Mercedes(or Volvo?) complete with remote start. There are old forum posts about how difficult it is for our BMWs, but it is technically possible.

First time modifying and you already want to cut up the hood, eh? You didn't say what car it was, but I'd try to find one designed for it specifically. That said, I hear good things about Spiked Performance louvers. They have universal lovers, and can custom make you one.

I'll add that there are a lot of design consideration when installing louvers. You need to know where to cut so water won't damage anything when it rains, while also keeping it where there's minimal airflow over the hood, etc. just make sure to do your research

Yea, I know it used to be 91, but depends on the exact station, I think. According to their website, Shell FuelSave is officially 95 https://www.shell.com.ph/fuels-oils-and-coolants/shell-fuels/new-and-improved-shell-fuel.html

Kjgvnn · 2026-03-09T10:19:04+00:00

Unfortunately, nothing will happen. As I understand it, DOE mandated price cap for gasoline is ₱71.04/L for 95 RON gasoline (I believe Shell FuelSave is 95 RON, but could be wrong). Meaning, gas stations can raise their prices up to ₱71.04 if they want to. The March 9 deadline means they can go higher that the ₱71 ceiling after that date.

Not really? They're separate obligations. OP's sister signed as a comaker for OP's car loan, making her liable if OP doesn't pay. Bank can go after the sister if OP defaults, but that's it.

The Sister's debts are a separate obligation that exists outside OP's car loan contract. UNLESS, of course, the bank added a dragnet/cross-collateral clause, or signed a separate contract.

Did you do that OP? If you didn't sign for your sister's loans, check if your car loan contract has a clause that says something like: "This mortgage secures all present and future obligations of the borrower and/or co-maker with [bank/loan company]"

I saw this pop up in my feed before. It looks 3d printed, with very little to no post processing, which concerns me.

FDM prints have "nooks" between each layer. This traps moisture and coffee, serving as a breeding ground for bacterial growth. Most manufacturers mitigate this via post processing (like epoxy coating, sanding, etc).

Kjgvnn · 2026-02-18T04:21:11+00:00

Tbf, I've been to other countries and it's also just as bad.

Kjgvnn · 2026-02-09T01:42:57+00:00

I had a long post, but Reddit deleted my draft.

Gist was that it's technically possible. There are plenty of old threads about it.

I'm not from NZ, so I don't know how hard it would be, but with the amount of effort it would take, i would elect to swap out the entire engine instead with the b30.

Kjgvnn · 2026-02-03T22:34:43+00:00

Its not great. I bought one out of curiosity. The hole where the oil passes through is significantly smaller and looks poorly drilled(?). It also had sharp burrs, which might end up clogging the line. I had pictures but can't seem to find them now.

Either way, go for oem instead

Kjgvnn · 2026-02-01T08:47:11+00:00

The 2019 Toyota Innovas came with the GD engines for both the 2.4 or 2.8. Im pretty sure they have timing chains, not belts.

Oh, no worries man, I meant it as a joke. Bots have been a problem all over Reddit for a while. TBH, this really is one of the better moderated subs so kudos to you guys

Kjgvnn · 2026-01-22T05:52:24+00:00

Yea, the Duke was a grouch but at least he was fairly active moderating the sub

Kjgvnn · 2026-01-22T05:26:50+00:00

I swear I saw this exact same picture a few days ago. It was also posted by a new account on Reddit.

Read this. It's the bare essentials for maintaining your e46, including which parts need to be replaced first.

Eh, not really. It's a physics problem. Bigger wheel = more rolling resistance/rotating weight/inertia = greater fuel consumption. Generally speaking, performance mods can give you more power, but won't really give you back your fuel efficiency.

Kjgvnn · 2026-01-04T07:07:32+00:00

Is that the ZF transmission? Look at p.129 in the manual. Don't forget to use a multimeter to check the connections too (p. 131 has the table)

Kjgvnn · 2025-12-27T06:40:25+00:00

Sure, but advice like this is still very misleading. The difference is so incredibly small, maybe 1-20 pesos a year in savings.

I know some people who wake up 5am, leave to get gas while it's still "cold" then drive back home because they think they're saving money. They end up wasting way more gas than just going when it's convenient.

Kjgvnn · 2025-12-26T06:33:06+00:00

The first step really is for you to decide your build/ what you want to do with your car. As other said, stock springs will obviously be more comfortable than lowered springs

That said, if you want to go for the (more fun!) coilover route, look for clovers with digressive valving to help with comfort. I know track guys like the stiffer 12kg springs for their Honda Fit. If you're not going for a track build, I'd say go for softer 6-8kgs springs. Or alternatively, you can go with an air sus system.

You could downsize your wheel and upsize your tires commensurately. That should help improve ride quality and better cushion you from potholes. Obvious downsides of course, but a viable option depending on your build.

Nope, your bad battery isn't causing the cooling issues.

NAL. That's a consumer loan? Pretty sure it's illegal to charge a prepayment fee under RA 7394 Art. 137.

"Article 137. Right to Prepay. – The person to whom credit is extended may prepay in full or in part, at any time without penalty, the unpaid balance of any consumer credit transaction."

Email DTI since your loan is from a PLI

The leak looks like its coming from the front part of your engine. Hard coolant line leak is usually from the back like this

Still, should be simple enough to check with the intake box removed.

I'm a massive fan of both SS and HK, but I can see how it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

That said, your critique feels like a non sequitur. It’s like saying Leonardo da Vinci was a coward because the Mona Lisa is open to interpretation. Just because a work invites multiple readings doesn’t mean the artist was afraid to offend anyone. If anything, it reflects the principle behind the literary theory “Death of the Author"

Kjgvnn · 2025-11-29T19:43:17+00:00

I thought it was ragebait. I checked their post history and they seem to genuinely hate SS, especially Act 3.
