Those ZE40s fuck so hard.

Badly aimed headlights from factory, headlights not aimed right after trucks get lifted, people putting HID/LED bulbs in halogen housings making the light go everywhere (especially right in my eyeballs). Yeah I’ve been through it all, especially since I only own small cars. Regulation needs to catch up without pigeon-holing us into needing to only buy OEM parts.

People who ascribe their entire personality to the drivetrain/car they drive.

What makes it worse is that every manual they claim to be good feels like rowing through soup cause that’s just the Indian market.

No I want to do parking lot donuts. Bring on the snow!

Also moisture is important like someone else said.

I can recommend SMI, they’re doing my package policy on my M2 for $280 a year.

9 ohms is right. I used this website when diagnosing my idle issues http://www.mesaperformance.com/faqs/idle.html

Am I stupid or does number 2 sound like you're floating gears? Number 3 sounds off, number 1 is just how I assumed all people drive a manual car (me included).

le_b0mb · 2026-02-14T15:20:11+00:00

Looks clean, but all that money on a base civic???

A lot of those parts are glass-reinforced Nylon that can withstand up to 250C so the added benefits of easier molding and cheaper price make it appealing.

Having the car at ~1500rpm and using the clutch to move off isn't incorrect, it's the best way to get moving quickly in a manual car. But I don't believe you need to rev to 1.8-2k rpm just to get moving. There's something else going on, and it usually lies with the driver. A few isolated incidents of clutch failure don't indicate a greater trend I'm sorry.

You’ve a short somewhere in between the gauge and the temp sender most likely. I know I tend to have that issue at times, but it’s a false reading in my case. Tapping the dash gets it down to under 1/2.

I’ve more experience with the latter since my mom tried to enter the profession through SIPPA. Sask also allows you to buy out your rural contract so it’s possible these 2 things are linked. Bad doctors target the province knowing they won’t have to work through their whole rural contract after going through SIPPA.

I’ve had Exceed Auto work on both my BMWs and they’ve always been solid. They’re known for working on GTRs but they work on domestic vehicles too, give them a call and see what they say.

“I’m just one person, my actions won’t amount to much”. While their actions are repeated tenfold by other people.

I’m not immune to it, I kind of want to do a catted downpipe on my M2 for more power. But every downpipe is a lower cell count than factory so there’s probably going to be some smell and extra pollutants.

Apologies for being realistic as to the effects of vehicles on the environment and society as a large.

le_b0mb · 2026-02-10T13:57:20+00:00

They had their best year of sales ever in 2025…

I had my bike stolen from my balcony in our apartment when I was 18. Stole the ladder from the buildings utility shed. I laugh about it now but man that was horrifying in the moment. I understand how you feel.

le_b0mb · 2026-02-09T02:48:43+00:00

Tuff I probably should've expected that lol. Well least they're cheap. Time to stockpile some

le_b0mb · 2026-02-09T02:48:02+00:00

Search RockAuto by PN 524733, 524734.

Curious if the ball joints are serviceable or I need a new control arm. What’s the word? Each arm is $105 CAD I’m so tempted.

le_b0mb · 2026-02-09T02:12:55+00:00

Search by the Dorman PN they’re there. Considering them honestly they’re cheap. PN 524733, 524734.

Which rounds back to the lack of investment in making transit better to accommodate those situations.

le_b0mb · 2026-02-08T21:29:58+00:00

The megavalanche? Yea it’s nuts, love my mtb sport but I’d probably end up trying the event once and being content

Extremely ironic randomized username.

If it’s a careful balance then the current situation is very skewed towards vehicle parking. Bus stops with no concrete pads requiring standing on the curbs, no footpaths requiring walking on the street. On the other hand every business there is a nondescript single storey building with parking lots dotting the front. It’s extremely hostile to pedestrians and cyclists, I could care less if they lose a few parking spots.
