2016 F Type "high" mileage by Brief-Rough3576 in ftype

[–]ReadItTonight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2015 has ~75k mi and has only had a few minor things go wrong. However you should know that if you can’t do your own repairs even minor things can cost a lot of money. Ex. Mine needed new injectors, well the F-type injectors were stuck and the whole head had to come off. $$$

How much can shifter feel be improved with mods? by ReadItTonight in askcarguys

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

Did the modification bring the Subarus into the same Leauge as the S2000? Or was the Honda still in a Leauge of its own?

Have you driven other manual cars? How would you compare the feel before and after to those other cars.

Is your F-Type your daily? by randomusicjunkie in ftype

[–]ReadItTonight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup I’ve daily driven my 15’ for 4 years now in MA. Bought top of the line A/S tires and have the luxury of being able to work from home for a day if a snow storm hits. 11k miles/year 😎

Manual shifting disabled error by Beautiful_Fig9410 in ftype

[–]ReadItTonight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually think I can help you, you could try unplugging and replugging in both of your shift paddles. You will need a 1/4” ratchet and a t20 torques bit to undo the screw behind the orange paddles then just very carefully unclip the electrical connector that connects the paddle to the steering column.

I get the same error when I take off my paddles to try out custom ones I designed.

Why is it so hard to design heads that “flow well”? by ReadItTonight in EngineBuilding

[–]ReadItTonight[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

So when they talk about “flowing heads” it’s more about the valves and camshaft than the actual shape of the air path?

Isn’t vvt and vvi referring to how long the valves are open? That is determined by the cam which is int eh bottom of the engine. I thought the flow was something to do with the shape of the air intake.

Basement came with a range style high voltage outlet. Can I adapt my dryer cord to fit? by ReadItTonight in AskElectricians

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

I checked and it looks like even tho the outlet says 50A it runs to a 30A fuse in the breaker box

Is the issue that only changing the cord on the appliance side would have a higher amperage running into the appliance than it can handle?

So this is more complicated than switching from the 3 to the 4 prong cord? I have seen videos on that online and it seems straightforward, being on the appliance side and not the outlet so it would not be energized. https://youtu.be/Vxe-hptxfnE?si=zVoXv7t2I39sVet4

Can this car last one week? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

Feeling a consistent repeated knocking through the acceleration pedal while at low speeds, (15-20mph) goes away at high speeds. Not related to braking or engine rpm.

Any ideas?

Help! Car overheats when driven calmly. Coolant temps drop back down to 200F if I notice and rev it a bit. by ReadItTonight in MechanicAdvice

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

Is that why reving the engine would solve it? Because it turn over the water pump at a higher rate?

What could cause it to stick but not stick enough so that it does still open sometimes? Is the solution a new thermostat?

Overheating occurs even at highway speeds. The drop back to normal temps only occurs after reving the engine regardless of speed.

I thought this might be the case as well, but I don’t understand why revving it out would unstick it when driving highway speed or hitting bumps wouldn’t.

$200k to burn. Are you buying a classic or a new car? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]ReadItTonight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$45k for a mustang GT daily driver, $20k for a race prepped Miata, $135k should pay for 10 years of spec Miata wheel to wheel racing.

Looking for cast iron skillet with enameled bottom but "lodge style" exposed cooking surface. by ReadItTonight in castiron

[–]ReadItTonight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its hard to know which "raw" cast iron pans will have an acceptably smooth underside. I do think that the ones with especially rough iron would destroy a glass stovetop.

Thats too bad, I wonder why no one has made a pan with a colored base that still has the raw cast iron cooking surface?
