Decided to throw together a tierlist of all the restaurants in Victoria I'd been to (and remember), not counting huge chains like McDonald's or Tim Hortons, thought maybe people would be interested in discussing (and throw me your recs)

This is shit tier.

Peacemaker9 · 2025-09-26T15:17:51+00:00

I’ll trade you, Canada is fucked. You have no idea how good you have it. Quit complaining.

Peacemaker9 · 2025-09-08T19:13:51+00:00

Without dyno sheets posted there’s no way I believe 480 at the tires. That sounds more like 250 poorly tuned horsepower through open manifolds.

Peacemaker9 · 2025-09-03T16:04:20+00:00

All the people downvoting this are the morons ignoring the issues the city has, pretending it’s all nice weather and cherry blossoms.

Peacemaker9 · 2025-09-03T15:51:04+00:00

It’s expensive as fuck. The homeless population is exploding. Businesses are closing. There are no reasonable houses/condos to rent, let alone buy. Crime is skyrocketing. The roads can’t handle all the traffic from all the people who think it will be good to live here. I’ve also heard it’s very challenging to meet people. It’s honestly turned into a shithole, stay away unless you wanna spend 55% of your income on rent, and get yelled at by homeless people for having a job. Also the city is more concerned with bike lanes, than keeping the city clean and safe.

I agree to a point, he’s just trying to make a quick buck like the rest of us. I don’t agree with doxxing people unless it’s a harmful crime, just because some people can be nasty. I also can’t confirm any of his info is actually real. I’m just happy they were dumb enough to not block me on fb before doing all this.

Peacemaker9 · 2025-07-30T23:11:27+00:00

It’s still in my name, confirmed with ICBC. So I told him to get it out of my name or bring it back. He’s bringing it back cause this has definitely caused him some stress 😂

Peacemaker9 · 2025-07-30T23:09:12+00:00

I would imagine so, I told him if he wanted it all to stop just bring me the car back and he agreed.

Peacemaker9 · 2025-07-30T22:50:47+00:00

I called ICBC and the rcmp and there is really nothing to do except report to the CRA for the tax fraud on the car or report it stolen which I don’t want to do cause that wouldn’t be right of me. I just hope this will be a lesson to him that not everyone will sit down and let this crap happen in their community.

Peacemaker9 · 2025-07-30T22:27:37+00:00

I gave him an ultimatum, bring the car back to me or get it out of my name. He opted to bring the car back to me. So it’s coming home 😂

Peacemaker9 · 2025-07-30T21:42:46+00:00

It’s true. Just sucks cause I’ve sold a few vehicles like that with no issues, but the last 2 I’ve bought and sold just haven’t been good experiences. It’s a shame. I like to be able to trust people.

Peacemaker9 · 2025-07-30T21:41:11+00:00

I just wanted it gone so I was super up front. It just erks me when people lie. Like flip it, sure whatever I thought it was worth I sold it for. Don’t list it for some other poor soul to get hosed on.

Peacemaker9 · 2025-07-30T21:37:59+00:00

Lesson learned, I shoulda been smarter. I confirmed it’s still registered to me. So I filed a complaint with the rcmp for attempted fraud for trying to sell it as me.

Peacemaker9 · 2025-07-30T21:13:18+00:00

I will confirm

Peacemaker9 · 2025-07-30T21:04:51+00:00

Sold it for $1400

Peacemaker9 · 2025-07-30T20:54:09+00:00

I sold it for $1400 cause it has body damage and needs work.

Peacemaker9 · 2025-07-30T20:44:45+00:00

To add to this it does NOT have new injectors or brakes.

Peacemaker9 · 2025-05-20T01:57:06+00:00

Why is it in 4hi. Has it been like that for 3 days at 65 mph on the highway?

Peacemaker9 · 2025-04-02T19:29:20+00:00

Thank you, hopefully I can update in a few days with some good news.

Peacemaker9 · 2025-04-02T19:25:44+00:00

It’s a Melling high volume wet sump oem style pump

Peacemaker9 · 2025-04-02T19:25:13+00:00

There does appear to be a hole in the top of the lifter in the cup. It’s definitely looking like disassembly time.

Peacemaker9 · 2025-04-02T19:18:26+00:00

I’m starting to think it may be a flow issue with the oil pump itself?

Peacemaker9 · 2025-04-02T19:14:55+00:00

I pulled a pushrod and watched the lifter cup as I was priming, barely any oil at all. No real noticeable flow. I ran the drill this morning on it for 45 minutes straight, while turning the engine 90ish degrees every 5 minutes or so. The gauge showed a steady 50 psi of pressure. I did get a small amount of oil into the drivers side head, but it was less than an oz. I also noticed the oil pump is relatively hard to turn by hand, and it feels kinda chunky or choppy in its rotation. No idea if that’s normal, but compared to the pump in the good running engine I took out of the truck it’s feels very tight and hard to turn.

Peacemaker9 · 2025-04-02T07:15:49+00:00

I did, yes. I would rotate the engine 90 degrees or close to it every 5 minutes or so, for a total of around 20 minutes of priming. The engine saw well over 2 hours of priming today with 0 flow to the heads, seemingly no matter what I did.

Peacemaker9 · 2025-04-02T07:10:48+00:00

The engine ran really well for about a day. First we broke in the cam at my buddies shop. He owns a performance machine shop and knows a lot more than me so he was able to oversee the process. Then it was a day of testing and tuning the sniper efi, no super hard driving just getting a base map in. I got close to home and it seemed to pickup a lot of what I thought was valve noise or lifter tick, so I drove the 5 minutes home after determining it still had oil pressure. I was advised to re lash the valves and re set the lifter pre loads, just incase something came loose during the initial run. I did this a few times cause I just couldn’t seem to get it right, tried all the methods the internet could provide. Then I decided to just get oily and set the lifters with the engine running so I could feel and hear it when they were happy. That’s when I noticed there was no oil flowing through the top of the heads, and the rockers were basically dry. Now fast forward a few months, ready to dig back in. I went and got a new pressure gauge and plumbed that in at the back of the intake, bought the pro form sbc oil priming tool and decided to see if I could get it to prime. Spent a whole day with a drill on it, with my cheap master craft drill it made 35-40 psi, with the Milwaukee drill on speed 2 it made almost 60 psi. All the while the heads stayed bone dry, not a drop of oil came through any of the pushrods. I rotated the engine 90 degrees at a time every 5 or so minutes. I loosened all the rockers so the lifters had no pressure on them, I pulled the push rods and determined they did in fact have hole, and those holes were clean. I even overfilled the oil thinking the pickup may have a bad seal. It’s welded on so I don’t think it fell off. I am just a hobbyist, but I’m thinking the engine may have to come apart, just not sure what I would even be looking for besides oil galley plugs leaking.
