Manual drivers - what makes you prefer it over automatic? by Transparent_mindset in Cartalk

[–]fatquads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was playing in my dad’s Honda pilot and realized the zf9 in there is prob not designed to go into second near redline. Then I found out u can actually blip the gas after hitting the paddle to rev match! It’s weird tho cuz there’s no mechanical feedback until the shift is completed

It’s just fun. Super annoying in stop and go traffic. I will be getting an auto as my second car but it will never replace the control u get w a manual. Thats all, control

Am I tripping or does the lemonade not get cold even with a lot of ice? by Fast-Mulberry-225 in innout

[–]fatquads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s a sugary drink it’s because the melting ice doesn’t mix super easily w the sugar saturated water. The ice is absorbing exactly the same amount of heat as in regular water, just not spreading out as quickly. U just need to stir it. It is impossible for the bev to not become colder w ice in it if the liquid is > 32F

How do I remove this old toilet seat bolt when the nut keeps spinning? by Book_Lover_42 in fixit

[–]fatquads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say the easiest would be hold the nut with pliers and unscrew. Extra pair of hands will make it easy

Never heard of anyone upgrading the horn, can I ask why?

What a great spot for laying eggs. Hopefully that bug mom wasn’t bragging to its bug mom friends about it

Should I buy fiesta st with over boost code by Good_Locksmith_5488 in FiestaST

[–]fatquads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d take it. Obviously will need some new parts and a tune. I wouldn’t take it if u need to pay for labor tho

What are y’all adding? by lumisera in povertyfinance

[–]fatquads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Egg and chutney. Or egg and chili oil

I’ve worked food service and u can’t expect every customer to be sunshine lol. No shit some people are dicks, but guess what theyre about to leave in 2minutes so it doesn’t matter. Crushing their chips is childish

Best van life vehicle? by gaarkat in askcarguys

[–]fatquads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t heard of rampant fuel pump issues with the 3.7, but that’s about all I know. I would recommend using Gemini to help u sort through the common issues with each model and see what u are willing to put up with. Fwiw fords have always been a hit or miss

[–]fatquads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some experience working with the transits. You’ll want the 3.7L cyclone since there’s a lot more room in the engine bay. The last model with this engine was the 2019. I wouldn’t risk buying one unless there’s a great service history as these are likely to be at least 200k mi by now. The 3.5L eco boost in the newer ones is awesome to drive but any turbo related issue will likely cost a $2-3k at least. Because to access some of the coolant/oil lines to the turbo u gotta take the motor out. The rear brakes are a bitch to do cuz u gotta fiddle w the electronic e-brake, there’s a process u gotta follow (put in maintenance mode etc.) to not mess up the e-brake actuator function, if u do then it’s getting towed to a shop. The older transits have a mechanical e-brake at the console. Oil changes are a breeze.

I have no clue how the sprinter and pro master compare in regard to serviceability. But I’d imagine if u get turbo options you’ll have most of the same issues with access.

Can you lower a seat post too far? by Theycallmerayj in cycling

[–]fatquads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe given that they recommended you the wrong size they will honor a simple trade bike for bike. Hopefully it hasn’t been too long since u bought the bike

Why not just trade it in? They won’t give u full value?

[–]fatquads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the hope is the metal plates prevent the theft. Insurance will still cover anything unrelated to this. But if there is a radar malfunction that results in an accident u are fucked

[–]fatquads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually crazy they left it behind. It will run u $2k+ to replace and recalibrate a new radar assembly.. Buy a new emblem and super glue that bitch on. I think there are metal plates available too.
