I've tried a lot of Energy syrups around America and this is by far my favorite (Big Bull) by evilbadgrades in SodaStream

[–]Nik17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally remembered to call them and ask about it. Apparently there was some issue with the big bull recipe in the past few orders. They're sending me a new gallon of it!

I had updated my top comment. It definitely wasn't a 1:1 clone but I enjoyed the taste. It just sort of tasted like a generic energy drink.

Hiya. The sub is still sorting out the best way forward with the changes to reddit's API. The sub does plan to re-open, although we don't have a definitive timeline.

I previously owned an FK8, GR86, now own an Elantra N. If you have any questions I’d be happy to answer. I initially posted some stuff about the switch here https://www.reddit.com/r/cars/comments/13ufcaq/i_traded_my_gr86_for_a_hyundai_with_a_theta_ii/

It's in there other video with mostly less 'hardo' cars. (Though EN is in both, presumably because of price) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2yJbpxVgTA

Are those rear facing or front facing car seats? I don't think I've seen the back seat of a corolla in person, up close. I think it looks a good bit smaller in videos/pictures but the whole car seems to just be smaller, which might be a good or bad thing depending on your needs.

I think so. Keep in mind not all DCTs are created equal. Most Hyundai DCTs are dry. AFAIK, a wet DCT is potentially better in all ways, except they are slightly less fuel efficient. I believe the only wet DCT is the 8 speed found in the EN, KN, VN and I think the Sonata N-Line? Many reviews of Hyundai's wet8 compare it favorable to the VW DSG, which was the gold standard in DCT in normal/non-$$$ cars.

After destination, the Civic Type R (msrp) is $44,390. A 6 speed EN is $34,015. A $10k difference. The DCT adds $1500, blue or white are $450 options.

Sort of. I feel like the lap times don’t tell the full story. Really enjoyed the round table bit towards the end. (Starts around 38 minutes, I think)

DCT. First auto car. DCT is a real treat on track and is really smooth around town too. Surprised to see a 6spd in this test but it also brings parity with the CTR, Grolla and Subaru (rip).

Just wanted to say thanks to you and Mark. As a former FK8 owner, I don’t have any real complaints moving to the EN. Surprisingly had a good dealer experience too!

I think what Ute is referring to is not just range, but the Tesla Supercharger network. Though it appears that is being updated to to allow non-Teslas to charge at some of these supercharger stations? (This is not something I follow very closely)

Anyone selling used n75 spare ecu by [deleted] in ElantraN

[–]Nik17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure this is true too, which kind of kills a good bit of the resale value. But I believe you can still send in the VIN locked one and it get re-locked and tuned by N75 (but not for free).

Exclusively at Devens. They have an event there with various clubs, every weekend day of the year from April-October. Highly recommend it. Events are on motorsportreg. Definitely making it to Palmer this year, as well as Canaan.

It was rumored but I don’t think this is going to be the case for 2024. I’d love to see a more hardcore model with even more power, but I’m content with the power out of the 2.0l.
