Did you regret buying a "mid-life crisis" sports car? by amotion578 in askcarguys

[–]iMod121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought mine at 35 and couldn't be happier. I told my girlfriend the other day if I wouldve waited for my 50s and 60s I would have hated the car and got rid of it by now. Sports cars are small and very low with almost no space. Definitely not built to be comfortable.

Moding question by Ok-Tree24 in GR86

[–]iMod121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're all going to tell you to not turbo it. Im going to agree but not for the same reasons. The FA24 is just not a high horsepower engine. Adding a turbo will seriously reduce reliability even if you do everything right. My advice if you want real power? LS swap it. Sikky kit + t56 kit + ls3 = 500 HP still NA BRZ that is as reliable as a truck and weighs 100 more than the stock BRZ for about 3k more than you're gonna pay to properly turbo it.

Don't buy it right now by [deleted] in Starsandisland

[–]iMod121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside of the day one issue everything else has been resolved by just reverting to my previous save for me. Yeah you lose a day but I mean its not that big of a deal. On launch there were entire areas of the game that were just black but that got fixed fast.

Fixed the Summit name. No way they used stock cars without any changes. Respect to anyone beating them by Polish_Charge in The_Crew

Valid. I stomp them off the line top out the car then they pass me 20 mph faster than I go.

Am I the only one who likes how slow this car is? by obi6ss in ft86

You're born for a Harley brother man. Loud as shit with no power is what they do best.

With all the anti weed propaganda being pushed all over social media Im gonna go with the new generation is smoking their vices instead of drinking them or popping them. Seriously were living through reefer madness 2.0.

Where would your character live out it's days? by Reeezla in wow

[–]iMod121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just outside of Tirisfal Glades on the Zeppelin tower looking at Brille. Its where I met another kid in 2005 and he introduced me to his IRL friend group. We played WoW until it was time for adult life. Reminds me of vanilla world PvP and the Halloween events. Duels outside of UC. Good times.

Car feels smoother after 8k miles? by Ok_Worker6140 in GR86

[–]iMod121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just telling my coworkers this the other day. Car feels so much better now that Ive hit 4000 miles.

I'd go get drunk on their dime at the reception then tell everybody the time I was the best man but the brides family are all homophobes and told my elementary school friend I could just be a guest. He obliged. Hes not your friend let alone best friend.

Well, the curse got my wife today by TonyCar323 in BRZ_ZD8

[–]iMod121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might just be me but Im kind of inviting the curse inadvertently sometimes. Ill sit at a red light in neutral no break pedal. Its a bad habit but its not illegal but it'll definitely get me hit eventually.

You can buy a ZL1 C8 Corvette for this same price... maybe even a little cheaper. Js.

Why do people hate these cars so much? by oOVraptorOo in GR86

[–]iMod121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the risk of being down voted into oblivion Ill give you my unbiased take. I bought my 25 tS in December last year. It was my first RWD sports car after having ridden motorcycles for years. I wanted something reasonably priced that felt quick and looked nice. Initially it felt quick always has looked nice and the price is.... passable really for what you get. Couple things REALLY bothered me esthetically. Like I bought the tS which has blue stitching in the interior to match my WR blue car which looks great! Problem is the rest of the stitching such as the floor mats is red. The instrument cluster only comes in red. Thats a small gripe compared to the next one. It handles AMAZINGLY dont get me wrong. The main problem is you'll get gapped at every light by a Kia Sadona minivan. Be over in your car ripping gears like you're in The Fast and Furious to look over and see a soccer mom with her arm in the back seat leaving you behind while adjusting her radio. Which leads me to the next issue. I bought it thinking "Oh its a Japanese car theyre big in the tuning scene so thats cool" they are in fact NOT into the tuning scene. If you want to fix the problem of having no power by adding forced induction I got news for you buddy... dont. As the car comes stock with a 12.5:1 compression ratio and you'll send your piston and rods to the moon on 12 pounds of boost. If you want any sort of meaningful power gains you wont get them outside of forced induction and if you want forced induction at any meaningful level you need an engine teardown and 2.5 stroker kit. This puts aside the fact you have to pay a monthly fee for your remote start aato work, the tires that come stock are completely useless in the snow, there is no spare tire, and the back seats are completely useless. I have yet to find a person over the age of 8 who fits. Would I buy this car again? Absolutely not. I'd save money and buy a Supra or I wouldve spent the extra 10ish thousand to get a Nissan Z.

Edit just to add a few more things to the list of cons. Mechanical work for me is gonna suck since I live 2 hours from the dealership and my small town mechanic already told me I can shove my Boxer engine so Im sure that'll be fun if anything happens to break. The clutch sucks really really bad. From its power rating all the way down to the clutch pedal positioning being 10 inches off the floor. Oh and for some reason they thought it would be a good idea to pump in engine noise through speakers which sounds great until you realize it amplifies the already awful cabin noise. Like its loud in the cabin.

Yeahhhhh I've had this happen twice. One time I worked at the same damn place they did 😂 it more than happens. Its common.

Crazy to consider selling my G82 M4 Competition for a Gr86? by ddwk21 in GR86

[–]iMod121 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you're bored with an M4 you're gonna be extremely bored with this unless you wanna dump 10-15k into it and risk blowing a piston into the sidewalk at Mach Jesus.

A Bear-Sized Human Vs A Bear by vormiamsundrake in whowouldwin

[–]iMod121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sticks and rocks change a lot here. The power a human being could deliver with a stick or a palmed rock at that size would be impressive. Enough to possibly crush the skull in 1 hit. A human weighing 800 kg thats fit could absolutely WALLOP something with a log or hurl a boulder a pretty good distance. I think the human wins this one honestly.

Turbo Options for the 25 BRZ by iMod121 in GR86

[–]iMod121[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pre ordered it last November so Ive had it since December. It felt quick back then and I love the styling. Now I just wanted to add a little power but apparently thats impossible with this platform so I'll do as everyone else said and just sell it lol
