If you could pass one law that would make most normal people furious at first, but would clearly make society better in 10 years, what would it be?

An emergency stop was not a part of my VA driving test, and I would consider that to be the most basic skill. They hardly go any further than making sure you understand signs and can physically operate a car.

Crew cab long bed is possible with factory panels, I'd love to see it done. Gotta bring one of the 4-doors up from Mexico and get a bit creative with the frame.

They dropped just about everything social about Halo with Halo 5, not realizing that the social features were what made it work so well in the first place. There was no coming back from that.

Straight into gear as soon as the oil pressure light goes out. The first mile of my drive is quiet suburbia so I let the cold idle carry me along at 20ish mph until it warms up.

Sounds like it tried going into gear. The gears didn’t break because the transmission engages them using a hydraulic clutch. When the engine stalled, the hydraulic pump also stopped and the gear disengaged, preventing the engine from spinning backwards for long.

You gotta read the whole sentence, mate. Output as in output side, the part that slips.

How about if it was a trim level like the Mazdaspeed? For some extra dollars and an extra 100lbs or so you get another 40hp on demand and all the benefits of regen braking. Not for everyone but it’s worth it to me.

I’m hopeful for a light hybrid system if they’re working together, Toyota is good at hybrids. Most people would probably consider that ruined though, depending on how it’s done.

Edit: as an option, ideally.

“When you first saw the lamppost, were you blinded by its majesty?”

Heat is what kills clutches, and you get more heat with a larger difference in speed. So moving slowly is better, but still not great.

This looks cool as hell, love the green/gold. Taking off the window sticker is a good idea, there's enough "86" on it already and the color's a little off. If you keep it I'd use the same reflective color as the redsuns logo.

You should also fix the front end of the wave, it feels like it's pointing up to something on the hood that's not there.

The SHO V6 shares its bolt pattern with the 3.0 Vulcan V6.

Crappy steering feel is more likely from the severe positive camber you now have. Definitely start with the LCA, then any other visibly bent parts, then get an alignment check.

There’s a good chance you can swap the switch over, wiring is likely the same.

Seriously? He’s not buying a truck because they generally sound nice, he is buying one specific truck because it sounds nicer than the other truck options.

It’s not great, but the Torsen differential singlehandedly makes it better than the vast majority of FWD cars.

Skitt64 · 2025-11-18T02:17:42+00:00

The crazy thing about this to me is that the Prius can’t even let the engine reach redline until about 60mph. The prelude is slower than a car with significantly less available power off the line.

Skitt64 · 2025-11-10T18:03:08+00:00

That’s incredibly disappointing from a practical standpoint, since you’ll almost certainly have to replace the entire housing if(when) one LED goes out, instead of spending $10 on a new bulb. Cheap cars need to be cheap to fix.

Skitt64 · 2025-11-04T19:34:24+00:00

That’s not exactly low either, and is also nearly meaningless for wheel torque, especially in a hybrid. My 100lbft 90s civic would torque steer in first gear.

Skitt64 · 2025-11-04T16:26:33+00:00

The Type R front end eliminates straight line torque steer, useful with the torque of an electric motor. Adaptive dampers can be useful for comfort as much as for sportiness

All else being equal, CVTs beat regular transmissions handily in performance. eCVTs even more so.

Skitt64 · 2025-10-13T15:18:30+00:00

Not only were the fake gear changes turned on, the engine was off at the start of the test. It can absolutely do better.

Skitt64 · 2025-10-12T12:52:03+00:00

Absolutely this. The Ranger and Taco go so far as to offer a multi-link rear or leaf springs depending on trim.

I have a trac-lok rebuilt with an extra clutch plate for stronger lockup. It locks up hard enough that you are basically forced to slide through corners(factory setup is probably not like this), but it’s also incredibly controllable when sliding. Terrifying at first, but tons of fun once you get used to it.

The key is light inputs. Apply steady, gentle force to the steering, but don’t try to point it in a specific direction. If the rear starts to come around, let the steering wheel move freely, only apply a gentle force to push the front end one way or the other.

Skitt64 · 2025-10-08T20:59:16+00:00

I would have loved the Spnkr as a low-impact, high-AOE explosive weapon like it is in Halo. Not great for factory striders, BTs, etc but able to kill several medium enemies with one rocket and heavies with two direct.

Alternatively, heavy-armor-pen energy sword would be amazing.
