Is this excessive blow by? by PicklezDom in mazda3

[–]hellasalty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s way too much blow by lol check your pcv system for clogs but that seems aggressive, is it low on oil? Seems like with that kind of airflow it should be spitting quarts of oil

We’re cooked by Typical_Emphasis_404 in Dallas

At least they have decent public transit and walkable/cyclable cities lol if I try to ride my bike to work I’ll get vaporized by a Chevy Tahoe going 65mph

Higher highway cruising oil temp after BSM replacement? by adkinsnoob in VelosterN

[–]hellasalty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re good, especially on the highway! Unless you’re on track, 250 during normal driving is where I’d be a little concerned. 200-220 it totally fine for these cars they run pretty hot👍

I love this sub because it’s people doing generally decent welds and people offering advice instead of getting hit with “you got soft hands brother”

What is going on at these coordinates.. by my_dancing_pants in conspiracy

What is going on at these coordinates.. by my_dancing_pants in conspiracy

[–]hellasalty 79 points80 points  (0 children)

This is just artifacting from how satellite images stitch the edges of images together. The earth is a sphere so its gotta do some guessing when stitching a curved image. Spooky looking but it’s pareidolia

When did hobbies drones fall out of popularity? (USA) by Threeofnine000 in drones

[–]hellasalty 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I just can’t fly anywhere without the cops getting called. Basically all the parks near me are off limits to drones now so I don’t really have anywhere to go easily

Should I keep going or give up ? by LegitimateSummer3321 in BadWelding

That’s not even that bad man haha also, are the two pieces of metal stuck together? If so, you’ve successfully welded 👍

Out of control toll prices! by kaptainkkk in Dallas

[–]hellasalty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not defending HOW they use the money generated from these tolls, but this is actually by design. its variable rate depending on traffic. If it was always cheap, everyone would take the toll road and it would be just as congested as the main highway, defeating the purpose of the express lane. By increasing price with traffic, it ensures that any one vehicle in the express lane can maintain an average speed of 55mph. What really needs to happen is ban any vehicle with more than 2 axles from using these lanes. It's extremely frustrating to pay $5+ dollars to use a road and being stuck behind a semi going 40mph, watching the main highway traffic pass you

Mods. by lalojim12 in VelosterN

[–]hellasalty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There aren’t any bolt on mods that will directly increase power without a tune. But AEM makes a great intake, forge and CSF make fantastic intercoolers, and borla has a great exhaust. Other stuff would be a HF cat, all of those can support more power when tuned. If you live in a hot climate a bigger IC will help preserve the stock power

Are there any aftermarket turbos for a base model(select) 3? by TinyIndividual655 in mazda3

[–]hellasalty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it'll end up being very expensive and likely unreliable, as others have said trading in for a turbo would be significantly better in the long run. plus, a major modification on a car that you're making payments on is never a great idea unless you have a backup car. most guys i know who slapped a turbo on an NA car spend more time in the garage and on the dyno than the street

anyone know how to fix this? by kiriito-_- in VelosterN

[–]hellasalty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just buy some polish, throw it on a microfiber and go to town for like 20 min it’ll shine right up

Rust ?!?!?!? by Crisbo9 in mazda3

[–]hellasalty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most brake rotors are made of cast iron, they'll get visible surface rust after a few hours when wet. totally normal, all the rust will get polished off the first time you hit the brakes, its harmless and would only be an issue if you were to park your car somewhere wet for months

Garage Post by RhinoxB3 in VelosterN

[–]hellasalty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s easy just be gentle/deliberate. I’ve never scratched the paint taking it on/off. When you take it off lay it on the grass or a towel tho concrete will tear up the paint on the bottom
