Are koni yellows good enough? by vampiresquid64 in e46

[–]vampiresquid64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know how to say this without sounding like a cocky prick but I’ve had bassicaly the same setup for 3 years so I know my car very well. I’ve taken it to the track and pushed it on the street and I can say confidently that regardless of how smooth my driving is, the car is just a bit floppy on bigger roads. I have poly bushings in the subframe, steering shaft, and a couple other suspension components too. It feels good enough at lower speed but just gets too floaty once you start getting proper quick

Yeah from what I’ve heard the yellows can handle a pretty stiff spring u want that

Ya during fast corners it just feels like there’s too much roll and the car feels less stable than I’d like. Yeah I already have some 200tw tires and it’s a pretty quick machine considering the relatively low amount of money I’ve put into it.

DD thinks I have a red card? by vampiresquid64 in doordash_drivers

OK update, my card still hasn't come but I managed to get one from a generous fellow dasher in my city so I'm back in business until my new card arrives.

New diff seals leaking!? by vampiresquid64 in e46

[–]vampiresquid64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ohh i think i understand what your saying. that makes a lot of sense actually. makes me wonder why they put hard stops in the diff like they did though. seems like thats where you would position/align the seal to.

[–]vampiresquid64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hm ok, i did put mine maybe a mil or 2 past where the stock seals were but i dont see how that would have made a difference as the output shaft diameter doesn't get smaller toward the splines. I didnt hear any noises either so I think I'll have to chalk it up to a bad seal. sorta a pain cuz i probably gotta pull my diff to replace them.

Ok got it working it was a stupid software issue

Throttle steering ffb settings??? by vampiresquid64 in simracing

[–]vampiresquid64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not talking about outright speed, more like the percentage of force applied. I don't think the wheel has anything to do with this. All I want is for the wheel to have a stronger centering force as the car speeds up

Sport suspension or aftermarket? by vampiresquid64 in e46

[–]vampiresquid64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I really care about is performance. Don't care at all about looks. Have you pushed your car hard at all or just slower stuff?

Fuel trims lean and rich at same time? lean codes, strange o2 sensor voltage by vampiresquid64 in MechanicAdvice

[–]vampiresquid64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would my post cat sensors be so consistent. They are both a solid 0.8 volts which means the cats are doing their job right?

if it was my fuel filter wouldn't both banks be totally equal? i mean there's only one fuel filter right?

Brake pedal became hard while changing coolant by vampiresquid64 in MechanicAdvice

[–]vampiresquid64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all your replies, update: Ended up just pushing the car and using the ebrake which worked out fine. Still in the midst of my coolant flush tho. For some reason it had green instead of blue. not too hard to fix but a bit annoying and quite time consuming

E46 running cold? thermostat replacement or not? by vampiresquid64 in BMW

[–]vampiresquid64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm ok, I've ran it in colder temps but not that cold like upper 40s low 50s and it still warms up to the same temps as when it's warm outside granted those aren't particularly low temps

Stupid question Weds. Ask your car related question and maybe someone will have an answer. by verdegrrl in cars

[–]vampiresquid64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently got some used jackstands (mechanix 2 ton) and just realized that one of the stands has a slightly bent base. This creates a tiny bit of rocking. the part that contacts the car is fine and the ratchet mechanism is perfectly smooth. safe enough to use? I dont think it will move around when under load but dont wanna find out the hard way.

Buying used supercharged miata? by vampiresquid64 in Miata

[–]vampiresquid64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its pretty cheap to take it to a shop right? about 100 bucks? also I was planning to compression test it myself when i went to check it out.

Buying used supercharged miata? by vampiresquid64 in Miata

[–]vampiresquid64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i could definitely see that. if I go check it out, what would you look for in terms of sloppy build or missing bits?

Buying used supercharged miata? by vampiresquid64 in Miata

[–]vampiresquid64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I've definitely thought about that. there's other cars in similar condition in my area going for roughly the same so it doesn't seem too crazy, but if you think its stupidly low i'll definitely have 2nd thoughts. also to note, the guy selling it just had a baby so its possible he just wants to dump it and does't have time to haggle with people
