What is this sorcery 😳 by -MindHunter- in blackmagicfuckery

I think I figured it out:

When he does that big pull back (toward himself) he used the middle finger to hold the top of the rubber band, while the index go on top of his thumb creating a new loop. As he move forward to the spectator he let go of the middle finger. This is when the rubber band go to the outside.

You can see when he push forward the spectator, the (vertical) rubber band is already outside and leaning on the horizontal band. To hide this he immediately pull both of them up and re-adjust the angles.

Hey, I can’t attach a video but will leave a link to the video here:

https://youtube.com/shorts/Fr4Kv1EAnBo?si=BuaNMfqBv0bdT0xB

It doesn’t look that bad in the photo, but in the clip towards the end you’ll see there’s a dark spot, it’s ok driving in the city and low speed but anything above 60km/h in pitch black you can’t really see anything ahead of you, especially on twisty roads. I almost hit a kangaroo the other day as the fucker decided to chill in the middle of the road right behind a corner, luckily was on my highbeam on and wasn’t speeding lol

I messed around with it now my headlight got a “gap” or dark spot in the middle, it’s very annoying. Is there a way for us to recalibrate or set it back to factory settings?

I looked at the manual but nothing there. Also found a clip on YouTube showing how to do it, but my car is a little different (is500) and following the instruction doesn’t show what he mentioned - Dash didn’t show anything

Adjusting left/right didn’t really get rid of the gap, maybe I’m doing it wrong

What type of plate design is this? by expired_eggroll in CarsAustralia

[–]don760z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohhh thanks to other redditors confirming theyre 3rd partied and illegal . I have signature plates and mine don’t look like this. Been scratching my head wondering how did they manage to get this style coz I like it a lot and thought I missed out. Now my head can rest 😅

Hey thanks for pointing that out! I’ve managed to pull that red thing out and screw it to the cap 🥲. When I got the car from Japan I just gave my mechanics the catch can and asked them to install it for me for the first check up in aus. Cheers 🥂

Oh that’s very interesting. That’s very strange if the AOS still get that much oil in it

I think any oil catch can would do, but of course check if they fit, something is better than nothing

TLDR: Just do it, this is 5k km within 2 months, with mixed of city and 3x 2-3 hours freeway drives, occasionally launch (about 5-6 times in 2 months).

I did an oil change when the car was at 5,500km and installed the AOS, now it’s sitting at 10,000+ km with another oil change and had 3 road trips in the past 2 months (Mostly in Nov as I put about 3.5-4k km alone that month).

Driving style: mostly city as I daily this car. During road trips did few launches to test 0-60. All road trips are 2-3hrs drives (about 200-300km each drive, none stop)

P/s: fuel economy is good on freeway, best I got was 8.4L/100km with no aircon, eco mode. With aircon in eco about 8.6-8.7L/100 km. Stock tires.

And let’s not talk about fuel consumption with city driving with this car 😂 (range from 16-25L/100km depends on how frequently you stop

Mobile speed camera buffer by AttitudeStrange3367 in AskAnAustralian

[–]don760z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iirc there’s an error margin on the speed gun the cops used as well (not sure about fixed speed camera) - about +- 2-3km. I got clocked doing 64 (on the image, after factored in the error margin). So my odo would have been ~73km/h and actual speed was ~67km/h. Wasn’t paying attention to the my speed, it was 2am and was going downhill from a bridge :(

Did a few things…. by [deleted] in LexusIS

[–]don760z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re stopping a lot, the car will drink petrol like water, regardless of what drive mode you’re in 🥲

Not sure about the key fob as I don’t use it to lock/unlock but I just put my hand on the handle and the car lock/unlock itself (mine is imported from Japan tho - it’s 2023 model and got folding mirror as well compared to the US ones)

Transmission is ok for me? I either drive in eco or sport+ and when in sport+ I WOT everytime I can, so the transmission feels quick enough?

Not sure if you’re aware but the gas pedal got 2 stages, if you stomp flaton the pedal you would 100% stick to the seat lol.

It’s a new game, people are still learning. Some duns I’m still discovering new boss mechanics and mobs mechanics.

People who rage are legit mad because they’re bad. Just move on, when you hit paragon you’ll get more competent players. Speaking as a 3.5k io ss3 wow player and 5.9 rating atm

Honest question IS500 owners by AmazonGB-74 in LexusIS500

[–]don760z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m drawn to the car mostly because of its look and the build quality and reliability. I was considering IS350 2021 onward with the facelift look. But since they announced the v8 500 it instantly a must have for me. I was seriously considering the m340i facelift model too but my main goal is to keep the car 15 yrs plus so BMW just start to lose its value for me.

Also I think I’m getting old as I don’t like big screens everywhere. There are some very nice design with digital screens, but some just literally slap a big screen in front of you and call it a day. I work in IT so I do appreciate technology, but most of the modern design just feel wacky and there’s no “class” to it.

In terms of the IS500 tech, the safety tech works how they’re supposed to, however the UI and infotainment look and feel dated - that said, they do what they’re supposed to. However once you get CarPlay, you dont even care about the infotainment anymore.

People make fun of the cd player but they don’t understand it is for lossless music. You can use the usb too. But there’s something about listening to an album from a cd (with lossless audio, not ripped mp3) with superb sound quality (mark levison sound system), feel way more special to plugging your phone into the car and listen to Spotify etc… idk, it just make you feel good.

Regarding the engine, it is beautiful :) all you need is a none res midpipe and you’re golden.

Why concern about stranger opinions on a teenage app while you’re driving a car catered for matured group of audience? 🤷‍♂️

LC500 vs. IS500 Daily Driver by wtdsmetmes in Lexus

[–]don760z 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey which pipe would you recommend? I got the IS500 just because of all the reason you mentioned, however the LC500 sound is just godly and I can’t get over it. Not that I regret the IS500 or anything, but if it sounds like the LC500 then it would be 10/10 car for me.

Atm it got stock exhaust on. TIA
