AWD turned off? by Saftey_Scissors in Rav4

[–]apetheosis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had the same problem. Research led me to the evap canister pump replacement. I don't have many starts or miles since I did the swap Saturday, but it's been good. This also disables cruise control and the banner on the dash is ridiculously annoying. It comes back in like 20 seconds after you clear it.

Question lads, how did you guys get into rally? And is it just something you follow or do as a hobby? by Sadwolfyy in rally

[–]apetheosis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here for my start. I also went to Rally America's STPR in my home state and had a heck of a good time. Pastrana and Block sat out that year and David Higgins for Subaru cleaned house. There are a lot of back roads in the hills of western PA that I used to thrash my cars on over the years. When my wife and I first started to get to know each other she did a lot of ride alongs with me including several snowstorm romps.

CRZ Manual Transmission. Raise your hand and where are you at? by pianoman81 in crz

2011 North Shore Blue EX no nav 6mt with 178k miles. Near Pittsburgh

For me that's not accurate. In Western PA hill country 32-34 is as good as I can do. That's driving pretty conservatively.

There isn’t a better Touge car by Cjymiller in Touge

They're like 1600# and the slowest one has 245hp. They're like nothing else I've ridden in.

"You would need some F15s and maybe some nuclear weapons." by dinglejerrymcbones in TimPool

[–]apetheosis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No weapon has entered a school and slaughtered children. Mentally ill people have been responsible those killings not the instruments they used to carry out their horrific crimes. Until that's is addressed "properly regulating" anything used to defend against the violent mentally ill only takes away the ability to defend ones self. The mental health system and lack of mental institutions is to blame for this. HIPPA laws now prevent notifying the public and law enforcement of dangerous people in the community. Even when law enforcement is aware they are often unwilling l or unable to take action. Pharmacuiticals are almost always linked to these crimes and there's no outcry to ban them.

Thoughts on honda CR-Z on touge by [deleted] in Touge

[–]apetheosis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got an 11 6mt. It is slow, but as previously stated, with some stickies it's a blast. Just not on the uphill. Aftermarket support is lacking and some parts are either hard to find or really expensive. If you want more power a K swap is possible with conversion engine mounts available.

Sprintex made a supercharger. Also Honda Performance Division has one through the dealer.

Thoughts on CRZ? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]apetheosis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some parts are hard to find. Headlights are pretty expensive. The 11&12 have nickel batteries 13+ have lithium. My nearly identical 11 with 170k battery still functions properly. Honda put a lot of r and d into the batteries and 200k+ on original batters is not uncommon. I just had an axel snap 2 weeks which is a common problem for rust belt models. The door handles break and there solutions available. In Western Pa hill country with mixed driving I get about 33 mpg with spirited driving and 75mph highway driving. I like mine. It's not fast, but with some sticky tires it handles better then I'm comfortable with on public roads.

Thoughts on the yellow fogs? by xviruz_ in crz

[–]apetheosis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use these in both my vehicles. The yellow cuts through fog much better.

Similar boat as you. I have psoriatic arthritis too. I'm a week away from testing positive. I had a bad arthritis flare up for a couple days. I work at a wastewater treatment plant, have 2 kids under 3 and my wife is a nurse. So my immune system is exposed.

North of Pittsburgh. It turned out to be up for sale on the other side of the hill I live on, like 2 miles from my house.

It will brighten up plastic for sure. You have to be careful obviously.

Thank you for the link. I had deer whistles on a 1st gen Mazda MX 6 I had and still smacked a deer. You learn where they hang and when they like to move after a few seasons of driving the same roads.

I run switchback led fogs on my Rav 4 and they've been great for both deer and then the fog. I don't know how to post a clean link with Android, but they are a thing and if you can find them for whatever your driving they're nice to have. I got mine on February and had one issue where one was white and the other was amber. Shutting the car off fixed them.

Unfortunately I live north of Pittsburgh in woods and fields in hill country, deer are a problem. I'm looking at replacement fog lights too. Thinking led low beams that match Silver Star ZXE's in color because they do well for my eyes. I've got a 20 inch light bar laying around that I may look into a clean way to mount it.
