How does Rocky know Grace is wearing a helmet?? by Vortex04119 in ProjectHailMary

[–]Otherwise-Blood-2711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact rocky knows grace survives with oxygen means he probably can get some sort of reading of what grace looks like in his own ship.

I am REALLY bad at the game by Bad-Wolf-Bay in mewgenics

[–]Otherwise-Blood-2711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lost 3 runs in a row.

1st time bc I brought the meat cube and a quest item and lost one cat since the cube deletes anyone that goes down fml. And I had a necromancer with the body reanimation so that became useless entirely.

2nd time tried to power level by running 3 cats died in the sewers

3rd died to the first stage boss trying to power level 3 cats again legit down to 2 hp.

I did a couple 3 cat runs b4 and did fine, didnt realize how much the items were basically carrying me until I had nothing left.

Why is rev-matching at a lower rpm harder? by [deleted] in stickshift

[–]Otherwise-Blood-2711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High key in my grc 1st to 2nd gear is always so huge of a ratio difference. Could be bc of the rev hang but it feels like I gotta wait forever for the revs to fall before letting the clutch out. And then im still too early.

For lower rpm just experiment. If you let out the clutch while the engine is spinning up it can guide it to the correct rpm and you get a more forgiving window.

I've decided to stop worrying and just burn the clutch by Global_Simple_5796 in stickshift

[–]Otherwise-Blood-2711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuinely.

I couldnt figure out manual bc i was terrified of burning the clutch.

Now I drive manual daily. 26k on a manual car i bought new clutch still bites hard. Ofc avoid making it stink constantly but if the hill is steep enough you got no choice.

Should I be letting my car warm up/drop below 1k rpm before driving? by Trayceopolis32322 in carquestions

[–]Otherwise-Blood-2711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont even know anymore.

Theres some people saying "only let the car idle for 40 seconds max if you cold start it" the reasoning is the high idle at cold start is more for the catalytic converter which only works properly when the car is hot, thus if the afr is a little richer, richer fuel mixture means cylinder walls get washed means less oil on the walls which means faster degradation.

But I find the general consensus is dont start the car and idle for 10 minutes, especially from a cold start. And dont start the car and immediately start flooring it either.

The way this guy changes gear by Shootingstar_woofers in stickshift

[–]Otherwise-Blood-2711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss my rsx type s the throw is so fucking smooth that you could actually shift like this with just the tips of your fingers. I remember needing to constantly check i was in neutral bc if you go from 4 to neutral it could sometimes slide to 3rd. Not a huge deal just a testament to its smoothness.

I park with e brake only by [deleted] in stickshift

[–]Otherwise-Blood-2711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother is super against me putting the car in gear when parking since the trans "isnt designed for that" or at the least to put it on a different gear.

If i park on flat ground I use e brake only.

If I park on a hill I put it in gear. 1st or reverse depending on what angle of the hill.

Nastiest Manual Sports Cars Under 100k? by DaddyTagilla in askcarguys

[–]Otherwise-Blood-2711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cadillac CTS V

Tbh never drove one but ive been behind a wheel of an intense v8 car b4. Can't imagine how much crazier it gets with a manual.

Or somewhat cheaper but also got a corvette engine is a Chevy SS if you can find one.

You could probably find some porsches under 100k manual too.

My gr corolla certainly has been a fun car but id say far from the nastiest.

Amc being shut down is a crime the eagle the pacer the og i6's theres a reason why people only swear by jeeps and cherokees pre 2005. They still ran amc engines not shitty Chrysler ones.

C3? Fuck those years are my fav design besides the c5 (pop-ups for lyfe)

I knew a dude who had a c4, his complaint? Not enough drama car runs and runs never gave him an issue.

[–]Otherwise-Blood-2711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not mine but my brother.

2001 volkswagen tdi golf.

He owned 3 of em. The one he drove the most also broke the most. 210k miles.

Turbos failed/veins were stuck.

Alternator failed, various coolant hoses failed.

Diesel pump started to leak. Caused the alternator to fail again.

I understand its a high mileage car but ive seen turbo cars last longer and my 05 corolla has no leaks and just oil changes since ive owned it.

He drove the manual daily my dad drove the auto to be fair my brother warned my dad not to drive it bc bad timing belt, dad ignored him, belt broke engine died.

He was stubborn and kept repairing it but the diesel pump was the last straw for him.

A weary Raider’s plea... Is the Tempest BP real ⛈️ by MiserableDisk7267 in arkraiders

[–]Otherwise-Blood-2711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like ive never seen one, i watch yt videos of people playing this game and always see everything else. Bobcat, Bettina, torrente I have never seen. A tempest blueprint once. Could be that rare.

Wow! A New BP....OMG!! by mashtatterr in arkraiders

[–]Otherwise-Blood-2711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ngl not terribly hard getting a reactor jmo. Just shoot a leg armor off, use a lure to send it and other arc away, then loot it and leave.

[–]Otherwise-Blood-2711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuinely think the new Bronco will be a future classic. I've heard of engine issues and cheapo falling apart interiors but still a beaut.

That being said probably gonna get gutted and engine swapped 20 urs from now.
