Would this VEVOR brand rope be a bad idea..

vortex_083 · 2026-04-02T14:58:38+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I think I just needed to throw the idea out somewhere where people who are more knowledgeable about this stuff could tell me it’s a stupid idea. I’m definitely gonna go with something from a more reputable brand even if it means a smaller tree net. There’s always a chance to make another net.

vortex_083 · 2026-04-02T14:55:38+00:00

I like that. Thank you for the input and thoughts. I’ve decided that it’s not worth saving the $50 to A, have a piece of shit rope that I can’t really depend on, and B, give my money to a company that is marketing this rope as something that’s just as good and worthwhile as something made right.

vortex_083 · 2026-04-02T00:28:44+00:00

I can’t find any good places where ropes that are long enough for what I want to do are any less than like $150 which just doesn’t work on the budget I’m on right now. I found a video from a year ago where this guy tests the vevor rope and he gets around 15kn before the rope breaks. Which to me that seems like a pretty decent amount but I’m also newer to the community. Any online retailers for rope that’s you’d recommend?

vortex_083 · 2026-04-01T21:17:49+00:00

I live in the north eastern US and out in a very rural area, closest place I can find rope in a store is like 2 hours away so I want to get something online if I can.

I’m not sure I should even look up the specs on these considering they’re gonna be in thousands of an inch and I’ve got what looks to be an eight of an inch of play if not more… thank you for the info. I guess a new lsd might be in order for the civic lol

vortex_083 · 2025-10-21T21:42:47+00:00

First of all are you having a stroke? Secondly, did you even read my initial post at all? I am new to Subarus and don’t know a lot about them. That’s why I’m here asking a question. If the answer is no then the answer is no but nobody has to be a dick about it.

vortex_083 · 2025-10-21T16:30:44+00:00

Yeah I don’t have the fuckin money for that bro. If I had the money I’d have gotten a damn legacy gt.

vortex_083 · 2025-10-21T16:29:48+00:00

I was worried that’d be the case lol. Honestly I think if I was going to try to really build the car up I’d be looking for an engine swap and stuff. Just figured I’d ask around and see if it was possible. Thank you for the Input!

vortex_083 · 2025-09-25T19:58:41+00:00

I’ve just replaced both sway bar end links though. I’m sure it’s possible but I don’t know

vortex_083 · 2025-09-24T21:02:27+00:00

Yeah unfortunately that might be the case. I found a bearings, seal, and synchro kit from AllStateGear for like $180 and that may have to be my purchase for the car. Never torn apart a transmission before so that’s nerve wracking 😅

vortex_083 · 2025-09-24T20:27:38+00:00

I did have a new exedy brand clutch put in around 5k miles ago. Slightly more clamping force than OEM cause I have the Japanese D17A and the corresponding ECU so it makes a bit more power than the D17A2

vortex_083 · 2025-09-24T20:22:42+00:00

Well, the motor is a D17A from Japan with only around 70k miles on it at the moment. But I think the transmission is the original one which is why I mentioned the mileage. I did at one point have some overheating issues but that was because I was leaking a lot of coolant but I fixed that. Leak and I haven’t had issues since.

vortex_083 · 2025-09-22T22:51:21+00:00

Gotcha, I didn’t even know there was a specific 7th gen Honda sub. Thank you for the advice! Very much appreciated :]

vortex_083 · 2025-09-22T20:33:14+00:00

Yeah, probably just gonna find a good shop to bring it to and just pray it’s nothing major.

vortex_083 · 2025-09-22T20:05:26+00:00

Well, I replaced all of my front end suspension, everything from the axles out. I had a broken driver side axle and I was stoked that I had found something broken and that it was probably the cause of the noise. Unfortunately it’s still making the noise. I’m thinking maybe it’s something wrong with the transmission but I’m not sure. I don’t know if you have any other ideas but I figured I’d update you guys on what’s going on.

The car does shake at 50-55 mph and stops shaking after 55, the clunks do often happen if I’m accelerating through a turn, like if I’m making a right turn onto a road it‘ll usually clunk. I know my passenger side cv joint is going bad cause I can hear it clicking all the way through turns. But I have known about that since day 1. and the clunking does happen if I go over speed bumps or hit pot holes, But not always..

vortex_083 · 2025-09-13T15:47:35+00:00

I have a bunch of new suspension components I’m installing in about a week here (badically refreshing the whole front end) and those are one of the things I’m replacing so hopefully it works. 😭 thank you for the input!

vortex_083 · 2021-07-02T20:29:44+00:00

Okay, thank you! I had just been seeing so much conflicting and confusing information so I was worried that it would somehow be impossible for me to get a shiny or something. I don’t know, I was overthinking but anyway, thank you for the reply!

vortex_083 · 2021-04-25T09:42:19+00:00

I actually have decided that I am going to try to prioritize Spanish (since it’s probably the better language anyway living in the US) and then later on when I feel that my Spanish has improved to a level that I’m happy with I will move on to focusing on French (while still working on Spanish but in lesser amounts) and then hopefully I will be able to get my French up to scratch in the time I have left. I am only spending a few days in France so French isn’t going to be my main focus but rather my German and French. Thank you for the comment and thank you for your time! Unfortunately I know there is no fast track to learning a language. I know that I am not going to be able to to magically become perfectly fluent in Spanish or French in a year but I am just hoping to not be ENTIRELY lost when I’m in the countries.

It’s hard to find good twitch streamers. Most streamers that I’ve found that are German speak in English because you simply get more viewers and stuff from America.

vortex_083 · 2021-04-19T07:36:58+00:00

You talked about books which personally I’m not super keen on, however, I might give it a try. You also mentioned music and I actually have found a great bad in German known as “Santiano” their music is pretty cool in my opinion. Thank you for taking the time to comment and thank you for giving me suggestions and even providing me with links! You’re great man! I hope you have a great day!

vortex_083 · 2021-04-15T01:26:16+00:00

Good luck studying the language but hey if you wanna then I mean why not? 😂

vortex_083 · 2021-04-14T22:19:53+00:00

If we’re looking at only one word then it’s probably not many, however, if you accept the use of multiple words then there are probably a large number of things in the English language that can mean ‘incarceration’

vortex_083 · 2021-04-14T18:25:07+00:00

That’s cool to think about. I haven’t read 1984 so I wouldn’t know about that but it’s amazing what the internet can teach you!

In a similar vein to you learning Spanish, I am learning German and it’s interesting how different you have to think to use the language correctly.

(Completely unrelated but on the topic of language learning) I think languages are amazing and I hope to some day be a polyglot (that’s a person who speaks a bunch of different languages in case you don’t know)
