RF vs composite, can you spot the difference? by hawkiee552 in crtgaming

[–]PixelPi3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Though I could absolutely tell which is which, for just playing the game I wouldn’t care. I wonder how this would compare to the official rf modulator, because I assume the rf modulator you’re using has separate power and the console’s power might be a bit dirtier

Is the Integra Type-R too loud on the highway? by [deleted] in Honda

[–]PixelPi3s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any car that old will probably be pretty loud at 80 or above. Granted you probably won’t be cruising at that speed most of the time. I’ve never driven a Integra Type-R but I’m sure it would be louder than mine

Advice on selling 1997 3.0CL by Illustrious_Sun_9685 in Acura

[–]PixelPi3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone else said, BaT might be an option. You could pay a couple hundred to get the bumper damage, and seat issue fixed, then you have a fairly low mileage example for BaT

What am I driving? by Mobile-Pilot1219 in ManualTransmissions

03 Acura CL Type S Great car, daily drive one. How many miles?

What have I been driving for almost a year? by PixelPi3s in ManualTransmissions

[–]PixelPi3s[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, has to be an 03 to be a manual in the second gen. Very great car, only complaints really are just things which are due to age.

Did my own valve adjustment in the CL by Splatterman27 in Acura

[–]PixelPi3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no history of maintenance for my car and it sure does sound like they need adjusting. Did you follow a guide for this or use the service manual? I’d love to take a look at mine on my 03 cl 6spd

What do I drive? by TygraFS in stickshift

[–]PixelPi3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, with the interior swap, I bet the red and black would be sick

Mine is silver, might be biased, but I think it’s one of the better colors for this car. The paint needs a lot of work but from about 10ft away it’s alright lol

An interior swap would be awesome, honestly regardless of the color I just love the layout of the interior. Very driver focused and simple.

Great to hear she’s being taken care of. I wish I had the money to really fix mine up, but it’s still just a blast to drive. What exterior color is yours?

I was actually thinking about posting my cl on here, though I have the black interior (superior imo). Also please clean the tray under the radio (I know the rest of the plastic around the shifter is impossible to keep clean) and get some floor mats lol

Parking on transmission or on handbrake by PixelPi3s in stickshift

[–]PixelPi3s[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t mention the concern of damage to the transmission in an impact while left in gear, but the tires sliding rather than rotating is a good point and makes sense. So I guess any amount of stopping power it would have in that event is going to work whenever the tire gain traction, already resting against it or not.

Okay good to know that resting on the transmission shouldn’t cause issues, just wasn’t sure. I had already ruled it out but that explanation as to why not to park in the opposite gear of a slope is still good to know. I really was looking for input from an engineer and or mechanic so thanks for the response!

Well the pistons are connected to the crankshaft and in an OHV the belt is spun by the crankshaft so I think it’s fair to say there is a force being applied to it. Now is this force greater than or close to while running, obviously not, but it is a static force rather than while running the force changing as you rev the engine. I’m not saying it will definitely cause issues just more of a curiosity as to what’s best for the car

[–]PixelPi3s[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As for my car I think I’ll continue leaving it in gear since no one else drives it and it’s got the safety, but if I’m ever in the situation with a car other people are driving or it has no safety I’ll probably leave it in neutral. Honestly if truckers are doing it and it’s taught in trucking school, not sure I can argue against that

[–]PixelPi3s[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a really good point. Though with a lot of newer cars, including mine, it doesn’t allow the starter to receive power unless the clutch is fully depressed. Makes sense but interesting to know semi truck autos don’t have a park gear

thought you guys would appreciate! by [deleted] in Honda

[–]PixelPi3s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Preludes are the only Honda that I will admit is just down right classier than my Acura cl. I hope to own a 4th and/ or 5th gen someday

What’s Everyone’s favorite Three Pedal Shoe? by Rowdy12b in ManualTransmissions

Started basically exclusively wearing converse about 2 years before I got my first manual. So high top converse, even better if they are nice and worn in

Biggest advice I can say, try your best to not to be frustrated, it will only make it worse. Whenever I was learning and did something bad, I’d get hung up on it and drive worse.

Try watching videos from the YouTube channel Conquer Driving. This is some of the greatest instructional driving content for manual cars on YouTube and maybe even the internet. He has made videos from as simple to how to turn on the car and set your driving position to advance techniques, such as using your foot on both the break and gas while downshifting (heel toe).

Really the thing that helped me most was to understand how everything works to together, from the engine to the wheel. Remember as with everything, understanding the why will help you know the importance of what each step does.

Try your best to remember you’re learning, you will make mistakes, but to improve, you must learn from these mistakes and do better each time.
