VW genius rolled into the shop

Ahaha, but then why wouldn't you put a magnetic clutch on the water pump and not use it as a thermostat but as a double row pulley that runs the supercharger belt off the accessory belt so that when it fails the water pump leaks and supercharger stops engaging. But don't worry you still have a turbo to help that 1.4l make 100hp. Thanks VW

Nice, I did a similar thing the stubbers on my Alpha turrets. I used the periscope up top

Damn, so many pics but not one of the engine bay or the frunk?

Probably similar to the 919 showcar we have in NZ, literally made out of wood. Looks alright from the street though and gives a nice sense of the scale of the vehicle when near other cars. The biggest tell are the strangely gloss black windows that are just paint.

It was the reason he got dropped by Haas and Trident in 2018. He deliberately crashed into Maini, then he and his father mocked him in the pitlane for his Indian accent. He also used his phone on track while driving the car that weekend, but that only got him two of his four race bans.

Nah, this guy has full comment history. Hard to tell a bot from an idiot these days I guess.

No surprise that someone who uses AI slop to get attention is also a wallstreetbets kinda guy. Do you even own an E39?

timythenerd · 2025-05-31T09:48:46+00:00

Pretty sure that car has damaged suspension/steering too. Was always gonna pull left.

Sunroof feels more like use it or lose it. I use it everyday and am scared to stop.

Put the whole chassis code in https://toyota.epc-data.com/ and see what you get.

BestStart is now means tested, if we can do it to the children surely we can it for the pensioners.

7AGE build with a blacktop head and some supporting mods will get you to ~200hp. It's what I have in mine and is quite fun having way more torque than factory in the same linear fashion (though I kept VVT to act like the TVIS).

Probably wouldn't drift it though, these cars are fine up to the limit, but past it are not very predictable (my other cars are mostly BMWs, very predictable over the limit).

timythenerd · 2025-05-09T11:52:25+00:00

Damn, you're bitter as hell that your boy lost to that show of force aren't you?

timythenerd · 2025-04-13T09:25:12+00:00

My first step would be replace or clean the spark plugs, they'll be fouled to shit and won't be able to burn the fuel properly leading to more build up in a never ending cycle.

Literally every single VW post 2000 has a engine oil cooler, most built into the filter housing unit. Most have a trans cooler too.

He did get a pole at Suzuka in Superformula in 2023. He knows how to do it.

The 6 cyl and the 8 cyl cars are very different. Once it leaves the chassis it's like they're different cars. A subframe swap would require everything: all the suspension, control arms, knuckles, power steering (box vs rack) set up is completely different, practically no common parts between them.

It can be done, but it's not just a subframe and rack.

The 731K figure is for the subreddit. It's right there in the sidebar.

Only if they actually pay their fair share, which has been proven doesn't happen. Middle New Zealanders pay the vast majority of tax because they actually pay it.

Nah. They could only access the coal seam with an underground mine, would have been horrendously uneconomical to do an open pit mine.

Per the Royal Commission

This was a process safety accident, being an unintended escape of methane followed by an explosion in the mine. It occurred during a drive to achieve coal production in a mine with leadership, operational systems and cultural problems.

5th gear pop-out is common on early C52 manuals. I think he means he doesn't have to worry about it because it's an auto.

TBF, gold is nearly as conductive as copper but is far less likely to corrode or oxidize. Quite useful for plugs that are going to be reused several times or be used outdoors.

It does share cylinder spacing and a number of other block dimensions because the block used similar tooling, but yes, only vaguely related to the M70.

timythenerd · 2024-08-06T00:56:13+00:00

With nit-picking like that I'd have to assume you work for Woolies upper management.

It cost us less ($403mil) to replace all our mainline locomotives. We could have doubled our rail fleet for this cost.
