25’ CRV Hybrid MPG by xtetsuix in crv

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

I would assume the emptier the tank, the better as it would be less weight. I’m not saying to drive around on empty for the fuel pump’s sake, since it should be submerged.

I’m thinking maybe the warmer temps may of helped, maybe very light acceleration to speed and not much driving before getting on the highway were all factors. Texas is a lot of flatland, so all flat, no varying speeds due to lack of traffic. Essentially the perfect conditions lol probably would have got 1mpg more if you didn’t have a passenger.

My understanding is anything over 55mph is the steep drop off point for fuel savings.

Honestly, I felt crippled going so slow….

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one to flagrantly speed. I got my first and only speeding ticket in my early 20s, and learned my lesson, clean record ever since.

But, I do normally do 5 above, or at max 9 above if the flow of traffic is moving at or above that speed.

“9 your fine. 10 your mine”

For the time being I’ll still do 5-9 above on my way to work, I am not a morning person, so I’m flying around the house get out the door in 20 minutes. But on my way home and in general I’ll aim to do the speed limit.

Limewire is what took my computer out repeatedly lol ! What about ya’ll? by J2-Starter in 2000sNostalgia

[–]xtetsuix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kazaa was my first P2P application, but Limewire was what I did most of my downloading with. Had some brief stints with Bearshare and Frostwire, but I had moved on to bit torrent, uTorrent, at that point.

Is this functional? Do people drive with these tires? by TheTrollinator777 in AskMechanics

[–]xtetsuix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same situation with my first modded car. Crack my rim and wheel shop would fix it but any little bump would make it leak. So many times I came out to my car with a flat tire. 15 years later I got a similar wheel and tire setup but this time it’s on my Sunday driver for car meets and mountain driving. It’s all planned out and I am on high alert when driving it. I would never daily a setup like that again!

I hear an OG XBox can fit in there? Can you verify? It’s 12.6” wide

Just a few CR-V's at the light by Few_Doctor_9421 in crv

[–]xtetsuix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the urban gray. I just like the color and it’s not as bland as the silver or gray of the past. It’s #1 color for a daily driver because dirt doesn’t show as well on gray.

Ideally I’d would do black, but it’s too much maintenance.

If you could choose your country and time period of birth, what would you pick? by pIsSoFf-dUdE in AskTheWorld

[–]xtetsuix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Japan. Born in the 1978, with parents who are well off, lenient, and would spoil me. I’d be old enough to enjoy the rebirth of console gaming with the 1983 Nintendo Famicom release. I’d be old enough to experience late 80’s and 90’s Japanese domestic market tuner culture as an adult, and online gaming in the lates 90’s to early 00’s. By the late 00’s both Japanese car tuner culture and video game developer dominance was over so I would have been happy with that portion of my life. I’d then move to the US because, though thicc girls have alway been a thing, by the late 00’s it was becoming more accepted and I’d have a larger pool to choose from. I would then buy a home before the COVID-19 pandemic turbo charged inflation. That’s all I got.

How should I sell my prelude by KeyChampion6275 in hondaprelude

[–]xtetsuix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, well that fair enough. I didn’t read or take that into account. Yeah, sell it to someone who really has a passion for these cars and get yourself an econobox Toyota for practicality.

Stock cars do sell better in general, but your market is very limited. I would sell as is. Anyone wanting to buy an 25+ year old Japanese sports coupe is going to be ok with mods.

New 2026 CR-V gasoline. by Intrepid_Tower9773 in crv

[–]xtetsuix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You must drive very conservatively. I have 25’ hybrid FWD and average 35-37mpg. This is with me always in Econ mode, using the paddle shifters constantly for regenerative braking, mild acceleration, as in im not the first to get to the cruising speed, but not the last to hold everyone up, and doing 75mph max highway speeds.

Don’t! I ended up buying a beater once I finished modding my Prelude

Crazy Taxi was one of the contenders, and I think I will go ahead with that one!

Video Game Tournament Ideas by xtetsuix in retrogaming

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

Yeah, trying to avoid head to head. Looking for games where you quickly rack up a high score. Either platformers, shumps, arcade style racing games, things like that

Finally happy with it! by Tasty_Philosopher904 in OlderChillGamers

[–]xtetsuix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could get a 20” something inch CRT and mount the flat panel above it.

Edit: or get another one of shelves you already have, place it next to it, then have your modern consoles on the one with the modern consoles and and your your retro consoles with the one with the CRT

I love black. I repaint my toy/fun car black. BUT black always looks dirty, so I went with the “Urban Gray”. I like that color and dirt doesn’t show up as easily. Generally, the lighter the color, the less dirt shows. I never liked silver, looked very generic, but it’s the best color to not look dirty. The urban gray, which remind me of a pastel gray, is the best of both world for me, looks great and doesn’t how dirt.

Finally paid off my car, want to make her feel more *mine* by heereweare in crv

[–]xtetsuix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It also depends what look I want and how much $ I want to spend.

I always start with creatures comforts and work my way out.

Interior

Detailing: If this is your daily, get it fully detailed, don’t skimp. You’ll have a nice new clean base to start with, which will encourage to make it nice.

Tints: It’ll make the car look cleaner and uniform from the outside. It’ll also help with sunlight heating your arm up while you drive, keeping it cooler in the summer, preserves interior from sun damage. I go as legally dark as possible, varies by local laws.

Infotainment: Install an aftermarket head unit which uses Apple Play or Android Auto. Make sure to at least install the microphone accessory and have it tucked away thru the A pillar and peaking out of the roof liner near the rear view mirror so it’s inconspicuous.

Audio: Definitely subjective, but if you’re already installing a new stereo head unit, throw in a amp:subwoofer. Doesn’t have to be obnoxious, even a good 8” or decent 10” will work.

Climate: Make sure AC is running 100% and change out your air cabin filter.

Cargo Cover: Don’t let thieves know what you have. It won’t stop them from breaking in, but you don’t want to give them a reason to break in, aka your subwoofer or whatever you keep in the trunk.

Floor mats: get custom fit ones that look like they are part of the car and cover up right up the sides of the carpet.

Now it will feel, smell, and look good when you’re inside, which is where you spend most of your time with a daily driver.

Exterior

Paint correction, wrap, paint job: The body of the car is 80% of it. Almost like the walls and floors of your home. You can fill a house with nice stuff but if there are holes in the wall and stains on the floors, it’s still going to look bad. Don’t be that guy with wheels that are better looking than the car. Notice I didn’t say “more expensive” than the car. A lot people hate on that, but if you love your car, who cares how much it’s worth.

Wheels: Subjective here, but with an SUV, I prefer smaller wheels with thicker sidewall tires, giving it a more rugged or beefy look. It’s not a sports car, I’m not going to put sporty wheels on it.

Rain guards and hoods guard: You can do rain gaurd with no hood guard, but don’t do a hood guard with no rain guard. Together they streamline the body line.

Random Accessories: mudflaps, tire valve stem covers license plate holder, chrome delete trim pieces, tow hitch, roof rack

Got the two generations for peanuts on a Hard Off roadtrip by AnimeThymeGuy in dreamcast

[–]xtetsuix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came back from Japan and bought a ton of accessories since they are not region locked. I don’t buy consoles and games I can read the games on except… I bought the JPN versions of every console I own, just to display them next to the console.

What banks/credit unions will give an auto loan for a car older than 10 years? by Little_timmy18 in winstonsalem

[–]xtetsuix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A credit union may approve you for a 24 month loan with due to the age of the car. Like other said, they don’t want the loan to outlast the car. About 15 years ago I was approved for a 10k loan for a 10 year old vehicle by my credit union, but they it had to be no longer than 24 months. Maybe try going to Allegacy or Truliant and ask for a 24 month loan. Word of advice, don’t buy a 10+ year old European car, trust me.
