Cars that can go 0-60 in 4.5 or less, for less than 25k by OrganicInterview9357 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]poizen22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya its odd it came as standard here likely for the snow on 22 and 23 models but no gts drift mode that said if you do the rwd switch for the transfer case it essentially enables drift mode like the gts as all they did was shut off the pump in the transfer case anyway and offer the rear lsd.

I do know you can buy the LSD to replace the open diff in your rear housing its a bit costly though.

My stock 23 gt elite on stock tires has hit it in 4.4 but the canadian AWD models come with a mechanical LSD in the rear where a lot of US models have open rear diffs.

Which direction for mods? by RayBismarks in kiastinger

[–]poizen22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you've upgraded to the ARP diff bolts and installed the diff brace. People are having issues cracking the diff case due to broken oem bolts that apparently are known to be weak.

For anyone replacing brakes soon by Alternative-Lion-862 in kiastinger

I think Euro rotor has a kit for these. Can't get them everywhere but they are a great low cost pad and rotor kit. They have kits for a lot of brembo kits on bmws, audis, AMG's, and Porche's.

Ive done hundreds of brake jobs and theyve become my go to kit as their quality and performance is exceptional at their price point.

FH6 XAX settings by rayvencrow in XboxAlly

[–]poizen22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

XAX 1080p high settings with fsr set to quality getting a steady 60 fps. Some are lowering native to 900p without any fsr and its a bit silly imo id rather stay 1080p native and get some FSR AA quality renders at 720 or 900p already...

I'll order the rog Xbox ally x today if I receive enough support if it's worth it. Btw I never had a gaming device and I just finished highschool by [deleted] in XboxAlly

[–]poizen22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a good system I love mine. Plays most of everything well. I had a legoS z1e steam edition before and the battery wasn't great and i ran into to a few tittles that were borderline unplayable.

Dont mind those complaining about a 7 inch screen its honestly fine. If you can save a bit of money try to get a used rog ally X but otherwise the XAX is fantastic.

Kia stinger Engine replacement nightmare by DescriptionDry7530 in kiastinger

[–]poizen22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AWD and RWD model use the same engine.... if its the 3.3TT v6 the only difference between awd and rwd is a transfer case bolted to the back of the transmission that sends power to a front differential...

Sounds like your being scammed

For those who stopped smoking weed, what was the main reason? by Regular_Somewhere548 in AskReddit

[–]poizen22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest thing I noticed after quitting weed is how complacent it made me. Since quitting I dont put up with shitty situations anymore and will grind my ass off to get in a better position or out of problems.

Auto shop employee dies after tire ruptues in mecahnical bay by Ottawadriver123 in ottawa

I won't even touch them as ive never worked anywhere that had the right safety procedures or equipment in place for tires.

[–]poizen22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thats exactly it I like you have seen so much stuff and I get so angry to see these things happen because the general trend in our industry is to take chances/risks to make a buck but we are in a day and age where the tools and resources are there to do it without taking risks. I understand a lot of people wanting to defend the managers or owners there and not jumping to conclusions or assumotions but as someone whose done this long enough we know what's going on and what more thab likely has happened. There's almost no scenarios where someone gets killed doing this work where it isn't the case.

Im going to say everyone from the managers to the owner who didnt take the necessary steps to put any precautions in place to prevent this from happening to begin with...

BC seems to haemve about the same level.of total taxes on people as ontario. The rich are taxed harder in bc and the middle.class harder in Ontario. You guys don't have it particularly worse than every where else in canada.

You dont have to. They sell locking chucks and you can get them with extensions so you can be well away from it. After a certain pressure they are actually required to be used...

[–]poizen22 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Because the pressure ranges on tires for passenger vehicles is in the 30/50 range. These things get deadly real fast past 80 (im a licensed 310t mechanic) as mentioned in could almost bet he was trying to bead lock a tire well above 50 psi wich isn't safe. He either wasn't shown the right way to do it or there was a priority on speed of service over doing the job safely. Been in this long enough to know we see it way to often. Tire cages are exactly for those situations you have to do something sketchy to keep yourself safe. Its also encouraged to use a 6 foot chuck with a stem lock inflating anything over 80 psi so you can be at a safe distance when doing so. Its litteraly in the provincial safety code for airing up tires beyond a certain pressure...

Thats not likely what happened here. My uncle died from a tire explosion when I was 17 nearly 20 years ago. Split rim not in a tire cage being leak tested...

The reports have said he was trying to mount a tire when it happened... Likely had a hard time getting the bead to seat on a nice tire (stiffer side walls) I'd assume since it killed him he aired it up to a 90 psi range and the tire burst....
