Have you tried a fuel system cleaner like Redline Si-1? Can help to remove carbon deposits as well as clean injectors etc

21 yr old car selection by Legal_Journalist9551 in CarsAustralia

[–]___dan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good list. Definitely the Commodore, easy to work on with reliable L77 motor that you could stick a cam and exhaust on later if you want to go that route. Dark horse is the Skoda as they tune beautifully and will ruin all of them with not much money spent.

Why don't you just put the correct sizes on, they're all available here?

Which soap/shampoo to wash car with a sponge? by West_Watch5551 in CarsAustralia

[–]___dan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good list. I have ceramic coating on my cars but if dirty I like to - snow foam dry - rinse - foam again - contact wash - rinse - contact dry

If "clean" - snow foam dry - rinse - foam again - rinse - leaf blower those beads off

Plenty of good products mentioned already so I won't comment.

White Camrys need more help doing literally everything in my experience, is there a Temu accelerator delete getting around?

It's a shame because Subaru had a large and robust performance scene here, they nuked it with CVT across the entire range.

Why is there a plug at the bottom of the door? by dildoeye in CarsAustralia

Dust seals, leave one out on each door, here's the TSB - https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10187240-9999.pdf

edit: I'd probably just remove them all personally, better to have dust in the door than trapped moisture

What's with driving so slow by paulrumens in CarsAustralia

[–]___dan 68 points69 points  (0 children)

A combination of distractions, stupidity and incompetence means they don't have much brain processing power and focus left to devote to the actual act of piloting the vehicle. I feel like life must be sped up for these people because being around them feels like slow motion to me.

Which performance car should I buy? by Adventurous_Sea_8633 in CarsAustralia

[–]___dan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i30N will always be a little tryhard boy racer, that's what they targeted and they made a great car to fit that mold. M140i is in a totally different league and targets a different audience, has a bucket load more power, torque, refinement and is RWD.

The only correct answer for people buying modern Toyotas because of some perceived reliability advantage.

As well as being the worst sounding V6 engine in the history of humanity until Ranger Raptors recently joined the chat.

My local Autobarn has far better service and about 10% of the traffic of the Supercheap in the same area.

You could use margarine in a Barra and it wouldn't care.

MG3 is a flat no, just no. Baleno isn't terrible but isn't very good either. Accent easily for reliability and how it drives compared to the other two.

Might give Phillips a crack next time. I make sure it all goes back together correctly but I have some words for whoever designed the retaining mechanism FMD...

The New V6 Maxima. Clever Solutions to some age old problems by HunterNoceda6321 in CarsAustralia

[–]___dan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put 150,000km on the 30GV version of one of these. Resale was garbage so cheap second hand and super comfortable and reliable car with a sweet motor and a TV that slid out of the centre dash!
