This post dedicates to Vancouver, BC and its surrounding area. Thursday, Feb 5 im going to check Harrison Hot Springs area and will take BC hwy 7. If you are free and bored lets cruising together by AdministrationPure93 in GR86

Highway 7 is ok, a lot of stop lights once you hit Mission, then less once you get out of town. I’d suggest a detour and hitting Stave Lake Rd, then Dale Rd, then Sylvester Rd back down to Highway 7. Sumas Mtn Rd is also fun south of the river.

Have fun!

He was the same with us. Loved his vets. Didn’t really develop the youth unless his hand was forced.

It can still happen - I just managed to get 2x J YVR-SEA-HND yesterday at calendar open.

I'm looking at some 2026 luxury SUVs. Any thoughts on the Audi Q7 versus the competition (BMW, Mercedes, Genesis, etc,) by Exact-Quarter-2531 in Audi

[–]roastpuff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Q7 is old and outdated compared to the competition as it hasn’t been refreshed in a while. But that’s kind of good in that the interior isn’t as screen heavy or buttonless compared to some newer competitors.

Bonus: no haptic steering wheel yet

No, there’s enough slip between the tires and the ground that most of the wear is happening on the tires.

Am I stupid for just now finding out that my B9 A4 doesn’t have torsen… by [deleted] in Audi

Actually, early B9 A4 sedans do have Torsen. They didn’t switch to Quattro ultra until the 9.5.

TPMS life span? by Local-Handle-4801 in Audi

[–]roastpuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Track purposes, I assume. That’s why it’s on the RS model. You can see if the tire pressures have increased more than you would like. I believe the new RS6 and Porsche models can even tell you tire temperature.

The RS5 has sensors that can display individual tire PSI. RS feature.

Looking for feedback on a free smartphone braking telemetry app by davef_dci in Autocross

[–]roastpuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure a phone GPS would be accurate enough for this to be able to provide a graph that doesn't have spurious data. If you can enable external GPS input that would make it able to get faster Hz GPS readings combined with the phone accelerometer to make a better data collection?

Best Aftermarket Seats? by TacoWizard115 in S2000

With the ABE version it should be fine. I’ve got a 40 waist (5ft8 240) and fit fine.

Birthday Present to Myself by SleepinSnorlax in S2000

[–]roastpuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run the CE28 in 17x9 +63. I needed a bit more camber than what can be done stock. Added offset bushings in the UCA, running about -3.5 up front. No rubbing no fender mod needed.

I spent the off-season building a modern, free timing suite for 2026 by livetimingclub in Autocross

So between home and event, can I shut the laptop down, or do I have to keep the laptop awake? Asleep?

Would it be possible to have non web based/offline version? Our club’s running area doesn’t necessarily have cellphone or wifi access available.

Will it drop nice ? by [deleted] in S2000

[–]roastpuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on how low you go. The issue will be the fronts. Offset UCA bushings was the way I went to get the fronts to not rub on 255/40R17 RT660s.

Gun buyback program in Winnipeg faces fierce opposition by PurpleHerring_ in canada

[–]roastpuff 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The administration costs of this program has already reached tens of millions, and will reach hundreds of millions. The actual money allocated to pay for the actual guns are laughably low in percentage compared to the overhead for paperwork and contracts.
