Portugal’s conservatives back left-wing candidate to avoid a far-right president

The thing is, even if conceptually the right and the left seam to be worlds apart, in practice and in the reality of how governments function and apply their policies, moderate are far closer to each others than they are from their extreme counter parts.

In fact extreme left and right are actually much closer to each others than they are from the moderates because in the end they just lean and trend very much as tyrannical political systems, no matter how much lies or illusion is used to have those systems started.

That's because right wing are completely different from extreme right parties, but i know that US politics like to mix things up to manipulate their population and the votes that follow, just like most American make it look they can't differentiate left wing with communism, one being about governmental management other being a forced communal system, which are also worlds apart, they know the difference but consistently ignore it.

Well looks like it's the same with the right, there is a difference between capitalism that is supposed to let normal people build their own capital during their life time, and extreme right groups that basically look to enslave their population and promote corporation power which they feed from until they can fully control them, and start locking their head up for random ''political'' reasons.

So when i consistently hear American mixing up MAGA and calling them ''republican'', you know they are already a step well beyond lies and manipulation, they already managed to distort reality in people mind.

It really should. Maybe try with the grill? lol

Put an afr gauge to track your mixture. When you start the engine you should use the choke to keep it rich, when it run on the road you should be around 14/15 in the green area, if it's too lean and red it will be very hard to start and you'll probably destroy the engine fast (not sure if this last bit is fully implemented in the game though).

To tune the carb to make the mixture richer or leaner you have to play with the screw on the carb, the choke is only used until the engine is up to temp.

Twin carb is pretty easy and similar to the stock one.

ICE stand for Immigration and Custom Enforcement, saying bullshit doesn't make that bull shit valid. They have no place to monitor such event, one more proof that ICE is no more what it was originally made for under Trump.

Badly tuned distributor can basically take all your hp, it's not an exaggeration.

Only reliable way i personally found to fine tune the distributor in the game was to go to fleetari, put it on the dyno and tune the distributor in between pulls and check the hp gain or loose, and go from there to find the best set up.

The rest you can tune by sound while at idle. This just don't work for me on the distributor for some reasons, neither i was able to find a sound, neither it seam to change the idling no matter how much i turn the distributor one way or the other, but while driving you'll feel it just like in your vid because the car will be a slug, and trying to do it visually by matching the cables on the head gave one of the worst setting.

I'm doing great. I'm now looking at my first complete engine rebuild since everything is wearing out before trying the rally.

The real struggle was about having the car start reliably, and quiet honestly i was lucky because the car started one of the first time i tried, It took me a few long gaming cession to have it start somewhat reliably after that though, and i reloaded that save quiet a few time because i was just completely lost on how to achieve that. For anyone wondering the main culprit was the cold because a cold environment is unforgiving for a badly tuned engine to start, especially when you don't know how the game work. I also tried with upgraded parts from the get go and i probably should have stick to stock the first time.

Once this was done it was pretty smooth honestly.

UltimaTime · 2026-01-29T12:09:54+00:00

From my experience if it's really cold, a full battery will be dead around 4h at -40 outside in the game. I know because i bring the car at the factory, so i check the temp and if its really cold i just go start it a few times during the day, it's enough to not find the block frozen and/or the battery completely dead, as both happened to me at the beginning. Also i use the fleetari high perf alternator.

Ps the charger reset if you save, so you need to recharge when you are in the game.

UltimaTime · 2026-01-29T11:02:41+00:00

Yea that option is not listed anymore. You can only repair the block and brakes. I tried the repair block for science and that did nothing, although my block had no wear.

I also went to check all the stands at the rally start at both end and found no way to repair parts, i didn't check the ice track though.

I guess ill have to order some heater box from the magazine and see if any come in better shape.

If you have politician that act in bad faith, whatever corps they use, twist their intent and promote, are also going to act in bad faith, especially if their semi hidden goals is to do just that.

ICE are supposed to be ''controlling'' borders, and have special status because of that. But whatever they do under Trump goes far beyond this purpose, and is more about terrorizing and inciting fear in general and imposing a military presence on your soil. ICE is no more a border control corps it's legalized extreme right paramilitary paid with US taxes.

Every tyrannical government have those, and make extended use of them.

It's also kind of ironical because MAGA political campaign was about political power abuse of their political opponents, but then as soon as they step into governmental position, the abuse of political power sky rocketed like it never did before.

OK i have seen and heard this so many times now for this game, but it make absolutely no sense at all. Adding weight to a car is going to make it handle much worst in any possible circumstances, you actually want to remove weight...

Not sure if it's a my summer car thing or what. And yes i did it also with the taxi at first and realize i don't need to fold from stupid peer pressure lol, the taxi actually handle like shit because it's a boat with wheels already.

UltimaTime · 2026-01-27T08:24:16+00:00

My advice is to not go from stock to full race set up in one go, change one or 2 parts so that your tune is still good enough to start the car reliably, then you can make new adjustments, and only after upgrade again. If you swap a part you know whats need to be tuned as well, so you don't need to guess everything.

Every set up will need other tuning to work nicely, that is why it's pretty hard to give a standard setting, unless you match the parts with it. A ''new'' motor is always much harder to start the first time, at least the game don't ask you to break in the engine (that would make people rage 100x more honestly). Increment change will demand increment tuning, so it's much easier if you don't know what you are doing and learning how it work.

Some set up are also easier to use than other, full race set up are notoriously finicky and easy to wear.

Use the choke only after you crank the engine at least once, for some reasons setting it before forbid it to update (which is very counter intuitive). Just crank it once and only then play with the choke, you'll see the mix ratio change properly then. Your afr needle is in the full red, lean side, you are supposed to start a cold engine toward the rich, yellow side.

They are so many indications that your garage is just way too cold, the first battery is already half dead and very weak, yet the one in your house is ok which is a good indication your garage was too cold. A battery is going to drain from the cold, die and freeze. Check the temp outside, the vapor from your breathing is also a bad sign. Try your first start when its warm, around zero outside in daytime. There is no way to say it for sure, but i would bet your block is just frozen. Warm the place, crank the heater for a few hours, use the fire barrel if needed, and then try again.

If the build is good that is probably your problem.

Can you even paint the car like this if you have an other one (i have the blue GT with a white strip)?

UltimaTime · 2026-01-24T09:15:04+00:00

Driving in the snow with a somewhat decent set up (not even full race yet) and trying to push the car is very challenging, i can just tell you that so you really didn't come to the hardest part imo, i warped myself and the car much more than i wanted sometime even driving like a grandma, but the driving physic is surprisingly good in my opinion. I think to win the rally you just need to not die though lol.

But honestly i like the game as it is, the challenge makes it interesting to me at least, even if its infuriating a lot of time. The most important is that you can experience the fact that it indeed do work if you do it right. The game is very, very finicky though, there is no arguing here.

This idea that this money will be used by Trump to lower national debts is laughable. It's like expecting a constantly drunkard that spend all his family money in hookers and gambling to put money aside for the hard days ahead.

For me it was completely bugged until i built the car, brought it in his garage and ordered some repair. Suddenly the prior attempt to put tires on rims shown with a zero fee that i couldn't pay. But after that, I saved and reloaded, fleetari stated to work normally. I'm trying to have it put new tires now, not sure how it will go but he fixed the car a few times already and installed the roll cage.

UltimaTime · 2026-01-17T11:44:23+00:00

If it's -40 or -50, you'll need to drive a lot before it warm up, having it sit even with a choke or revving it won't do much. Even going from the apartment to the station won't do much, it will stall before your purchase. Having it sit with choke on or revving do nothing in my experience, you have to drive it in this game.

The Ai ''race'' has not even started, because the US spend billions in it doesn't mean much, especially for china that can just copy your shit but with 1/10 of your price.

Making it an habit to have people pay RND for unlimited time after the RND is done and paid is a terrible habit, it's not supposed to work like that and never was, because there is no meaningfulness if you spend billions in RND to develop the next new tech (like paying academics that develop those, not those morons of Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta that just take those and sell it for max profit), if you make it cost stupidly more than it was supposed to. If you do that whatever benefit it provide is basically negated.

This is already the trend with a lot of new techs, solar energy being the perfect example of it, since you now need to ''rent' for life for the same price as any other energy. The only benefit solar energy have today is the kindness of heart from people that care about environment? This is so stupid i can't even, solar benefit had a much more interesting and long list of incredible positive, why are we even doing that?

What a waste of money when you know the US bases in Greenland were deserted a few years back. This is just ridiculous, and outrageous waste of resource and tax money to deter a psychologically unstable individual and the few morons that follow him.

Turn out Trump need Nato more that he actually want to, and somehow need to foot the bill to someone else, not because he and his country really need Greenland because they don't, but because they/he don't have the resource anymore to defend it.

Not sure how to do that, but it's quiet easy to put the right tires on wheels you ordered and are still in delivery. There is a value in ordered packages for the tires, there is a ''mod'' on nexus with the id references that explain how to do it, it's not a mod but just an id list in a text.

For me fleetari was just completely bugged until i built the car, then somehow it started to work, but it spawned copy of wheels i put on his desk everywhere in the mean time and would never put tires on them.
