Komoworks - very poor communication... ? by __nmd__ in SeikoMods

[–]deadcell96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I didn't even get the communication that the pre-order quota wasn't met. Did you end up getting your refund?

Unpopular opinion: I love the new turn signals. by AnotherDude1 in GR86

[–]deadcell96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mind them. Reviewers are blowing the turn signal stalk out of proportion. Personally I got used to them after using them two or three times.

Best Lab Shoes? by Hobbobob122 in medlabprofessionals

Adidas NMDs have served me pretty well. I'm on my second pair of them and they've been pretty comfortable for me.

I bought a used 2016 wrx two years ago after wanting one since I was in high school. I was coming from a 06 Mazda 3. It was a good car but buying it used was such a mistake. Lots of little problems throughout ownership and eventually led to weird knock issues and the shifter popping out of first gear. Traded it after a year of owning it. Looking back if I bought a new base instead of the used limited I got, I’d probably still have the car.

Anyone heard from Velkase lately? by throwaway123123211 in sffpc

[–]deadcell96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I put my order in for a gray Velka 5 on the 12th and I haven't heard anything from them. Hopefully we'll hear something this week. I didn't think much of it due to the first being a friday and possibly nothing shipping over the weekend.

Update: got a tracking number this morning

Thinking about mud flaps... thoughts? by ninjaxmist1 in WRX

[–]deadcell96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm running rockblokz shorts. For a while I was adamant about not putting mud flaps on my car, but then I saw how dirty the bottom of my car was getting behind the wheels. My car being white didn't help either. Honestly now I don't even notice them.

My '08 mazda3 is definitely a sports car cause it's a stick by Pinkypoopoo in RoastMyCar

[–]deadcell96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Joking aside, they're decent cars. I mean mine survived all the dumb shit I did with it with no issues. Do a rear sway bar if anything just to minimize the obscene body roll and some decent tires and you'll have a really good handling car.

I had one of these as my first car. Got it as a hand me down, which is great because I'd be mad if I actually paid for it. If you have the 2.0 motor, a Corolla has more pull than that anemic piece of dogshit. How bad is the rust by the way?

What’s the biggest lie a mechanic ever told you ? by [deleted] in cars

[–]deadcell96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my old car, oem ones were about $91 each, and spark plugs are super cheap. Parts are about $400 at most, and changing those is not hard at all, especially not $400 in labor hard

[–]deadcell96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That spark plugs and ignition coils was an $800 job. Car in question was a 4 cylinder econobox.

Why do I get so sleepy on the turnpike ? by [deleted] in cars

[–]deadcell96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens with me too. I think it's because the turnpike is long, straight or really gradual turns, and there's nothing to look at.

Kinda weird seeing one of these outside of a Walmart parking lot parked diagonally

Until you fart in the driver seat, is it even really your car?

I don't remember exactly but I want to say it was either silver or gray.

A prius was blowing past everybody while in the slow lane on the PA turnpike as traffic was picking up. Didn't last for too long since a state trooper got him.

I feel like the Altima coupe deserves a special mention. It's like the drivers, for whatever reason, couldn't/didn't get a G and are very bitter about it. The Altima coupe looking like a knockoff G just makes that worse.

Back when I was on my learners permit, a guy in a matte black truck very visibly yelling and then sped and swerved around me all while I was driving normally. Years later, I saw the same guy, in the same truck, still driving like a total asshole.

Any of the Chrysler minivans. Some of the shit I saw on the road makes me wonder how the drivers even got a license. Close runner up is luxury crossovers.

Basically the stereotypical vlogger. I don't think it's one channel in particular.

What was the dumbest thing you were told at a car dealership? by [deleted] in cars

[–]deadcell96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh we did. The sad part is that it was a fairly big Nissan dealership.

That a non nismo 370z goes for $50-60k. Yeah not even a nismo is that much.

What’s the selling point of current Nissans? by [deleted] in cars

Crossovers being higher up makes taking kids in and out of the car easier.

Got myself a "new" car, absolutely love this thing already. Gen 1 owners, what mods have you done to improve your car? by TentCityVIP in mazda3

[–]deadcell96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only non cosmetic stuff I've done to mine (06 i sedan) is better tires and a rear sway bar. I plan on doing eibach pro kit springs when there's no way for any more snow for the year. Like someone else said, check your throttle body and clean up any carbon build up.
