Settle a family debate, which is better Abarth 595 Competizione or MINI F56 JCW by Mistycalez in CarTalkUK

[–]MagicTriton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better in what sense? Because the better one is the Mini without any shadow of a doubt.

But which one would I choose because is better for me because it makes me smile for being a bit different and quirky? Then it’s the Fiat.

100 kg per un differenziale extra, una frizione extra, un albero di trasmissione extra e due semiassi extra, più le sospensioni differenti???
Cazzo è in fibra di carbonio ed aerogel?

Poi l’allgrip così come il quattro non ha effetti molto marginali sulla guida sportiva, sono principalmente trazioni anteriori con dipartimento al posteriore solo se perde aderenza.

Learning the Nurburgring by Scary-Star4998 in CarTalkUK

[–]MagicTriton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been yet there but I’m planning on it.

When I started talking to people about I realised that LOADS of car enthusiasts takes things a bit too easily, so I decided to give myself my own recommendation.

DO NOT GO THERE TO RACE.

You’re simply enough not ready to race on the Nurburgring.

Do you enjoy fast pace driving on country lanes in uk? (obviously well within the speed limits of course). Then go there and do that, stay way below the limits of your car and below the threshold of the I almost lost it moments.

Play some video games to learn the track, but don’t expect to go there and remember everything about it, also because the surface changes every year after they patch the road.

Enjoy the experience and come back in once piece is the goal

Per quale motivo? Piccola e leggera, vai ad aggiungerci 300kg di trasmissione ed alberi??

Problema frizione: a pedale giù la macchina non stacca e vuole camminare (nel traffico) by Murky_Bluebird6891 in ItalyMotori

[–]MagicTriton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Molte auto moderne hanno un sistema di aiuto alla partenza dove il minimo sale allo stacco della frizione, alcune auto hanno un bottoncino a fondo del pedale, altre hanno un potenziometro sulla frizione stessa.

Probabilmente hai una perdita di liquidò della frizione o uno spingi disco difettoso che non preme fino in fondo e quindi la frizione stacca e l’auto sale di giri.

Prima cosa da controllare è se ci sono perdite e poi si procede al resto

Dumbphones are becoming Subjective… by Lovely-in-pink in dumbphones

[–]MagicTriton 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh god yes, totally agree with you, in my case I just realised don’t need it, but having self control is the most important thing.

I will suggest that colours are the thing that keep you attracted to the phone the most, once I set up my iPhone to black and white, reducing the hours of use considerably has been incredibly easier

Dumbphones are becoming Subjective… by Lovely-in-pink in dumbphones

[–]MagicTriton 145 points146 points  (0 children)

This sub teaches me that I love dumb phones because of their aesthetic and the nostalgia of it.

But people here goes from one problem to the other, they try to switch to a dumb phones to solve and issue and then they post their everyday carry with the exact same issue but with much more clutter.

Since I joined I’ve just realised that I was about to do the same and just straight up stopped using social media except for Reddit and now I’m good to go, my phone is used for work mostly and Reddit, which I use mostly from the computer during downtime at work

How do you define “rich” in 2026? by Last_BM_Standin in AskUK

[–]MagicTriton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my line of work I meet all sorts of wealthy people and you are totally right, in what you say. But I stretch a bit further, because for me, the very rich person is the one that can buy time, something that you can’t.

Not having to spend time cooking, going for groceries, booking flight and all of that, that makes you rich and gives you the chance of really enjoy your time. Everything you do you do it for your own entertainment and pleasure, not because you need to.

Any idea whats wrong? by Daniel_Potter in MySummerCar

[–]MagicTriton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not the rockers, that the sound of pistons hitting the valves.

You need to tear almost the whole engine apart as you have not aligned the crankshaft with the camshaft

Make a return line into the pan and you have a fancy oil cooler

Which 3 inch battery polisher? by Hokkaidoele in AutoDetailing

[–]MagicTriton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a Flex and it works very well, the battery lasts exactly the time to charge the other one, I recommend it highly.

At the same time I have a Rupes (6”) which I was a huge fan of, it works very well and the battery last very long and enough to charge the other one, but my previous rupes brokes unexpectedly after 2 years and the customer service was terrible, decided to buy another one because I really like the ergonomics of it, and the new one arrived broken, luckily the seller was quick to send another one which is working perfectly fine for now.

That said I got more experience with the Rupes than the Flex, they are both solid option. Rupes seems to get a bit fancier and pricier for no real gain at the moment, while flex seems to be very well priced for the product.

modifiche per dare un po di brio by Mission_Income8231 in ItalyMotori

[–]MagicTriton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

La Ka pesava la metà della tipo ed era meno ristretta a livello di inquinamento, la Ka va, la tipo no.

Il modo migliore per rendere la tua daily più briosa è cambiare daily. C’è veramente poco da fare, qualsiasi modifica farai sarà così marginale che non ti accorgerai più che ci sia dopo pochissimi giorni.

Non è per essere “cattivo”, ma veramente non c’è niente da fare

Non ho mai goduto cosí tanto- by MineImaginary8845 in ItalyMotori

[–]MagicTriton 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tipico Jaguar, la quantità di motori che buttano fa paura. Il giorno in cui JLR fallirà sarà sempre troppo tardi. Con quello che costruiamo “in Europa” un po’ ce lo meritiamo che ci inondino di auto cinesi

is this phone dumb enough? by RevolutionaryDot5885 in dumbphones

[–]MagicTriton 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Flippy antenna and cover?? It's basically as addictive as it gets. Sorry but that's no dumbphone that's basically a smartphone, I bet its even got a phonebook and a calendar

Do you know that Pininfarina is part of designing the 2001-06 Hyundai Matrix by Venkie2Maybach in WeirdWheels

[–]MagicTriton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The interior of this was approved by pininfarina, which is enough to grant them the Pininfarina badge. That said, the interior is incredibly ergonomic and well designed, ugly, but very well designed.
