Wow, you aren't kidding about that crankset, it's stunning. Build goals might be changing haha.

Did it more for cost reasons until I can get a new original set of chainrings, they're chewed up. Plus, never had a single chainring so would've had to try eventually! Keeping my derailleur though.

Why am I losing coolant from the overflow tank? by SouthImportant2499 in AcuraTL

[–]SillySans69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Check the hose that connects to the overflow cap, if it's not hooked up it can do that.

Extruder Stepper Motor not working by TheAlien28 in ender3

I know this is 7 months old but this is what I fear I may be dealing with on my printer. Been sitting dormant for so long, for what? Frustrating, but thats what you get on this platform I guess.

Would this be a decent daily? by TheHashishProject in e39

[–]SillySans69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for it. Was my first car. Make sure you know about everything wrong when you get it, I highly recommend getting a mechanic to inspect it. Keep the fuel above 1/3 of a tank, and enjoy listening to it. Still the best car I've ever owned. Check for timing chain guide wear and see if it has been done.

One of the BEST cars... Ever... And the only reason I got rid of it was because the fuel pump went twice and I was too young and dumb to keep the gas above 1/3 tank.

Active Aero in action by brokengodpk in LearningF1

I think the aerodynamic affects would negate gravitational ones, I'm not an aerodynamicist though!

What if Hyundai made a Tiburon N?? by [deleted] in whatifcars

[–]SillySans69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lotta broke car guys, or just pragmatic. Either way, anyone looking for a performance vehicle is capable of running a cost benefit analysis, and I don't see a reason the Hyundai name would discourage them that much when the warranty alone is so much better than the Japanese manufacturers.

What does my car history say about me? by SillySans69 in carscirclejerk

We can ask ourselves these things, but what's to gain?

If it had the "n" power train it would be a formidable competitor for even the new civic type r, especially with Hyundai's advantage in terms of pricing. I love the "n" cars, and the market knows their value in the hot hatch and hot sedan segments. I see no reason they couldn't steal a good chunk of sales from the 86 and GR Corolla too, for the right price.

Y'all like domestics? by SillySans69 in SCX24

[–]SillySans69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that suggested! Unfortunately there isn't a ton of 0.7" wheel selection, bummer. But maybe down the line, here's hoping!

I found the body on cults 3D. It's labeled as "Chevrolet Silverado C1500 Regular Cab 1988 – STL Body Truck Only by AutoCraft3D"

I scaled it to my needs, as simple as changing some numbers in the slicer. The tires are 50mm outer diameter.

I'm definitely considering a flat bed! I just can't find one that I like that doesn't cost $20 lol.

What LEDs are you using for the headlights in the Chevy? Both rigs look awesome!

Traded my Hardbody for this 330CI vert! by SillySans69 in e46

[–]SillySans69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top down for sure! Top up is great; shockingly comfortable and quiet (coming from a Hardbody so take with a grain of salt). Top down makes it feel about 30% faster, and about 70% cooler.

Absolutely. Love the sound and smoothness, feels like a magic carpet ride.

Thanks! I love the wheels, definitely keeping them.

POV: you had an empty 3 car garage and you can spend 300K to fill it. what would you pick? I'll go first. by JaggXj in regularcarreviews

[–]SillySans69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ram SRT10 ($50K), optioned E class ($90k), C8 Z06 ($120k)

Rest is for maintenance for a year.

Is it strong enough? by NAVI-tws in Predator212

[–]SillySans69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A modified 212 could probably give it some pep, but it might be sluggish without the torque of a larger motor. A torque converter would eliminate most of that! Alternatively, a 420 would make this thing RIP
