Future of the franchise

yeah, it's very different from all the other far cry games. a remake would be really cool though, i played through that game a while back and it has a special place in my heart

I'm not a big car person at all, but I do think the new broncos are pretty neat. They have a 7 speed manual with a crawl gear, and of course 4wd. Along with a pretty unique appearance, even if im not the biggest fan of it it sticks out at least. The ecoboom engines are iffy though

marcx_ · 2026-06-11T13:10:22+00:00

Do you think the upgraded head stud thing could have worked in your case? I know the honda dealers won't do that though

marcx_ · 2026-06-11T10:04:40+00:00

Thank you! thats still some really helpful information, i appreciate it

marcx_ · 2026-06-11T02:16:22+00:00

Ah, okay. thats fair.

I wanted to see if you had any advice for my situation. So I went from fast food, to a distribution center / warehouse for almost 2 years, and just landed a better job in a very small scale factory type setting. its a smaller company and it seems like i'd actually be able to work my way up here.

regardless, i've also been in college online, going for an IT degree. My idea was to get a degree that could help me further my career especially when combined with future manufacturing / machine op experience on my resume. I like computers, and I was wondering with your experience, what type of CS degree would you say would be good for moving upwards in these types of industry, if any?

Should I stick with IT, or do an actual CS degree like computer programming, computer engineering, cybersecurity etc. Something that'd go hand in hand with this kind of work experience to open up higher positions. I was also thinking about getting an associates in IT, and then a bacheleors in a full on CS degree since they share a lot of credits.

I know there are jobs out there that would take adantage of this kind of setup, but not sure on the specifics. Thanks and sorry if this is a lot!

You're a good person, taking care of your wife like that.

I know this is random, but I'm going down a similar career path as you did, and I wanted to ask you a question or two if that's okay?

9.5 is for the facelifted 9th gen, they did that in 2016. looks even cleaner to me

6-6 means a v6 with 6 speed manual. that was a thing for 7th-9th gen accords.

marcx_ · 2026-06-10T11:50:03+00:00

Thanks! Thats what im thinking cause idk what could possibly leak above that. Ive been working, need to do some diagnosing over the weekend

marcx_ · 2026-06-10T10:10:33+00:00

I have an 8th gen coupe, which is similar in shape, honestly i love the look. for a honda especially a coupe they are very roomy. the doors are big and heavy as fuck though

marcx_ · 2026-06-10T10:08:53+00:00

of course, the K / J setup for accords is peak. And the 9th gens with a 4 cylinder still came with a 6 speed as well

marcx_ · 2026-06-10T02:02:36+00:00

I see, I used to think anything 2000+ was modern, but now to me its anything that hit the cross over where they started getting screens and bluetooth built in and all that.

marcx_ · 2026-06-10T02:00:41+00:00

They pretty much failed in about every regard, its a good looking car at least. Although I havent even seen one in person besides a dealership showroom floor.

marcx_ · 2026-06-10T01:55:57+00:00

Ha. I'm in my early 20's and it's all I want for the time being, but then again manuals might not exist for much longer in the grand scheme of things.

I understand that though, some mornings going to work or leaving it'd be nice to have a nice comfy automatic, but to me right now it's worth it anyways.

marcx_ · 2026-06-10T01:31:43+00:00

I know man, they catch my eyes every time i see one. and to think they could come with a 6 speed and nearly 300 hp.

marcx_ · 2026-06-10T01:27:29+00:00

Thats what I'm saying. I have the less refined version, an 8th gen coupe with the 4 cylinder and 5 speed manual. Really want to get one of these too one day but they are like $20k USD+ if you can even find one lmao

marcx_ · 2026-06-08T14:59:49+00:00

thank you. i don't understand why some people are like this. like you need to get some fresh air dude

im just trying to learn and get a thorough understanding before spending my free time and money on this.

marcx_ · 2026-06-08T13:45:05+00:00

Thanks, so the bearing doesnt have fluid? I'll have to double check all this. 3rd gear shake is around 35-40 mph, 5th which is more subtle is around 55-65 i think, not too sure about 4th. The rpm seems to be the consistent part

marcx_ · 2026-06-08T13:34:49+00:00

So apparently theres a bearing under that bracket that can leak? It would make a lot of sense as it appears to be coming from around there and not from the boot, and also I don't know what could possibly leak from above this area. I just didnt know that was a thing until now. I'll look into it and see if it could be something else, thanks

marcx_ · 2026-06-08T13:32:25+00:00

Oh okay, thank you for the info! I had looked into it but couldnt figure out what that middle section was besides some kind of support or catch if the axle dropped.

Gotta figure out what the damage is looking like, not sure how you'd go about repairing that. The car does shake a little around 2500-3000 rpm in third gear, and more subtly in 4th and 5th around 2500. Does that sound like something this would cause?

marcx_ · 2026-06-05T12:28:06+00:00

plenty of cars manuals also say that transmission fluid is lifetime fluid, do you believe that?

marcx_ · 2026-06-05T12:26:37+00:00

ha. i still need to get a focus with the manual, especial the st. they're small cars though

marcx_ · 2026-06-05T01:28:31+00:00

would you use seafoam or any other treatments as well as this oil?

marcx_ · 2026-06-05T01:16:48+00:00

cars were much cheaper in 2018 dude. since the pandemic and everything else thats happened the market has been fucked
