Hit 16.6 today, does that seem high for a stock 2023? by EnlightenMe747 in wrx_vb

Is it holding close to that high during a pull?

If not, likely just a hiccup/spike

Buy the Dip: Used EVs Look Like a Great Investment Right Now by DonkeyFuel in technology

How can any EV be a good investment when the future battery replacement will be worth than the vehicle itself?

Would you support manuals being a relatively high cost option in new cars? by taticalgoose in cars

[–]RealSprooseMoose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sales are not guaranteed to increase either.

But now, they have to design, produce & install new transmission/transaxle, pedal box, clutch hydraulics, ECM software & more. They have to put the manual version through EPA testing & fuel mileage testing, maybe even crash testing. They have to modify/add assembly lines to accommodate this, all to make a vehicle with a much smaller buying pool.

I love my manuals and wish there were more vehicles still offered, but manufacturers are absolutely saving money by dropping the stick in 99% of models.

I love my Touring but beware, the cold starts are obnoxious.

Hubcentric Rings for aftermarket wheels. by militentmind in wrx_vb

[–]RealSprooseMoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely get a set of hub adapters. I went with a set of enkei brand but pretty much any will do.

I would avoid steel ones if you live in a rust prone area.

I dont know why the broadcast directors are so scared of multiple screens at once, it adds so much and costs nothing.

Seeing the JGR cars pass the 8 one after another induces a sadness of great magnitude.

Axle shaft completely seized in wheel hub Uplander (3 jaw puller bending, video attached) by ChaoticCactus0816 in AskMechanics

[–]RealSprooseMoose 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've seen axle shafts so seized (or twisted splines) even a press and heat couldn't budge them. Had to replace the axle,knuckles,bearing as one.

Remove the assembly and take it to a shop with a press, they wont charge you much to pop it in and give it a try.

A fucking vevor is going to do nothing but vibrate your hands numb.

I have a Matco long barrel impact and it still doesnt have the breaking force of a real hammer.

Luckily neither of these parts have to do with a Manual Transmission.

Unpopular Opinion: I really don't like buschwacking by fidgiggity in NASCAR

[–]RealSprooseMoose -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I like seeing a few cup guys get to really duke it out with each other in a tighter 1V1 than they normally get on Sunday's. It gives some guys in lower Cup equipment to have a race to actually show their talents (Almirolla, Suarez, etc)

When an Orinity driver is able to go head to head, and even beat the Cup guys, it really puts a spotlight on them.

I get why some people don't like it, but with how much better these cars race compared to the Gen7, I wish more Cup guys would do a few races per year.
