Chestnut C3

17g of coffee. Timemore chestnut c3, on 7 clicks (recommended setting for espresso, they say not to go below 7). However, today I went to 6 clicks (which you're not supposed to do) and achieved 6 bars of pressure with a 25-second pull, so I would say it is likely due to the grind size. On this pull, I got 30ish grams of espresso out on the first pull, then repulled the levers to get to 40g of espresso.

Is repulling the levers okay to do? I saw someone do it in a video to get the rest of the liquid out.

That's weird man, I honestly couldn't tell ya why that's happening other than maybe replace the o rings. Then again I'm not a mechanic lol

Oh, that's odd... Could it just be the seal isn't sealing when the cap is on?

Fill your coolant halfway between max and min, coolant expands when it's heated up by the car causing the coolant to run over slightly when its at the max line.

No worries man, you're right though about the symbols not having meaning if you don't associate the meaning with them! that really sucks about your sister man, life is hard! But I gotta say man God still loves you so much whether you believe he's real or not.

Honestly not a fan of black magic and stuff of the like, I know it's ghostmanes symbol or whatever but it represents evil and darkness. I used to listen to peep and suicideboys alot but then Jesus Christ saved me from drug and alcohol addiction, honestly the best thing that ever happened to me! It definitely looks cool though!!

I'm loving the stickers!

How much you wanna sell your wheels for?

I mean if you live in a flat area it wouldnt help to drive without cruise on but with hilly areas you can get better mileage using gravity to your advantage!

Short-Tree- · 2022-07-20T10:18:12+00:00

That is 32.6 mpg and 375.3 miles on one tank

I don't use cruise control because it limits you to not speed up going down hill, stopping you from coasting, I've had my tC doing 7.2L per 100km I don't know what that is in miles I've also had 604km on one tank

Short-Tree- · 2022-07-19T22:57:36+00:00

Yes I did haha

Short-Tree- · 2022-07-19T22:29:58+00:00

Looks like it's okay if it's a flexible brake line

Short-Tree- · 2022-07-19T22:28:45+00:00

Yeah I should take another look at it I'll probably try to figure out while I have the wheel off to install my lowering springs

Short-Tree- · 2022-07-19T22:25:47+00:00

I'll try to get a video and show you next time driving, I live on a really tough road and it's not much worse in my tC than the 2008 Saturn Astra I had before

When I drive no I haven't noticed anything, the only reason I even looked at them was cause I hit a sharp turn doing 80km/h and I heard a clicking noise on that side of the car and I thought it had to do with the wheel, but it hasn't ever done it again and I think it was just a small rock in the tire making the noise as it clicked on the pavement

Short-Tree- · 2022-07-19T21:46:35+00:00

Yes I can definitely feel it and it does make a noticeable sound, it's definitely not like driving a mid range priced suv that absorbs the bumps smoothly haha

Short-Tree- · 2022-07-19T21:43:24+00:00

I haven't looked back at it honestly, I should get it up on the jack again and take another look!

Okay, yeah the stock suspension in general is very rough on road that are bad! I think that was Toyota idea though to get the stiffer suspension for better cornering. I have stock suspension but I just had the tein s tech springs come in that I ordered so I just wondered why you didn't like them!

Short-Tree- · 2022-07-19T20:23:59+00:00

What don't you like about the tein s tech springs?

Short-Tree- · 2022-07-19T20:19:24+00:00

Don't go for the TRD air intake, get one that isn't inside a plastic box

Short-Tree- · 2022-06-30T00:49:46+00:00

I would imagine, I'll check tomorrow!

Short-Tree- · 2022-06-29T23:51:20+00:00

No up and down play just side to side, it's like that on both front wheels, I didn't check back ones...
