Yeah I never knew base had 6.. I think I tried once and it flashed red at me.

I don't listen to CD's anyways

iCrap

i dunno how you do it, but i saw the 6 slots when i took apart my HU.
Ive never even use the CD player though.

also im hearing some weird clunk noises when i brake when reversing.. nothing in my trunk though... is that the gas sloshing around in the tank?

^its usually rust.

only happens when you reverse out of a parking spot or garage/driveway?

iCrap

yeah that's the only time i've heard it.

we spend most of our time braking forward.
so, the pad and rotor combo make grooves and when you reverse brake, you disrupt the pattern.

Did that make sense?

i hear it with my TL too.

ssjoeboe9

Justin doesn't always say stupid shit... sometimes he passes along useful information haha

iCrap

ahh makes sense. and lol ^

so, maybe that isnt the reason.

rawger

It's because Honda brakes are trash.

...that's right PR, I said it!

rawger

Holy shit, completely owned her on stage.

xtcnrice

iCrap, if you're actually upgrading your pads/rotors, check if the sound is still there while the pads are still fresh.

xtcnrice

lol rawger he apparently got arrested for that

rawger

Yeah I read that. I first saw it as a GIF and my computer was loading it super low and I was like, "damn, he's gonna slap her ass really hard" and then I was like...oh that's not her ass. lol

different angle.

rawger

So some guy today almost hit me by not checking his blind spot and trying to change lanes, and then afterwards, tries to apologize and wave his hand while he's directly next to me and almost hit me again, because he was looking at me through his passenger window/hand wasn't on the wheel. SMH.

xtcnrice

third time's the charm!

iCrap

will do

Year of the goat. 恭喜發財 to all you folks.

So yesterday i was that guy who washed his car in 10 degree weather.
I had to put it in my friends garage afterwards.
Also changed that factory battery to a better one.
Scene points for me or no?

musty hustla

I need to do the same. My car is white with salt.

Many years ago I washed my Trooper in weather like this and the next morning the doorlocks, doors, and windows were frozen. The calibers and engine had a light glaze of ice too. It started right up!

iCrap

Mine is pretty much all white now. No freakin way i'm washing it in this cold lol, even if i do pull it into the garage.

xtcnrice

I went through a touchless car wash the other day in -20C weather I couldn't bear the amount of salt and grime on my car anymore. I took extra long to get out of the wash so that the blow dryer could get most of the water off my car before it could freeze. I also checked each door handle afterwards and dried them up (inside and out) with a microfibre towel.

VR1

Haven't washed my car this year but I think I will today.. 68° weather ftw

iSeeYouTwo

I haven't washed my car in over 2 months, you're a brave soul.

iCrap

I just hope I don't have to deal with this shit again....
solid sheet of ice covering the whole car.

xtcnrice

^Bro, you don't even know.


Welcome to Canada

I couldn't open any of my doors for the longest time. No autostarter at the time to help me defrost anything. I took a risk and poured (room temp) water over the door handles to get into my car, and waited forever for the ice to thaw after I got the car on.

opboarding

That looks miserable. I'll take having hot summers over cold winters any day.

Harper

I'll take rain over snow, but we haven't had much in Sunny California.

iCrap

wow, well i have no idea how I did it but i managed to get the whole back end to swing around. brake hard, Turned in right, back came out left, i gave some opposite lock, car slid left sideways for 1-2 seconds. all at ~55ish Weird. Kind of scary but kind of awesome lol.

Harper

I did that once in my old 05 civic, dunno how but it happened lol. Was never able to do it again tho lol

good to know you're alive

cu2wagon

There's your answer. Hard braking shifted the weight to the front and then the turn-in to the right shifted it again to the left before the rear end could settle back down.

Besides e-braking, that's about the easiest way to get a SUPER DORIFTO CAR-U started in a slide. With RWD you'd start manipulating throttle and steering to keep it from snapping over. With FWD you can just bury the go pedal and it'll pull out of the skid nine times out of ten*.

It's really easy if you happen to be turning on an off-camber turn that further disturbs the weight balance. You could totally do it again if you try. Go fast, brake hard, crank the wheel. Avoid hard, immovable objects.

*assuming good conditions, offer not always valid on loose dirt or ice/snow.

another way is called Lift off over-steer.
bury the throttle and mid-turn, lift off the skinny pedal.

Theoretically....

If I maybe slid off the road while it was snowing, and maybe totaled my car...

Would anyone want my SC, aftercooler setup, gauges, DP, sway bar,springs,Enkei Razrs Mugen grille, Short Shifter Adapter, Cup Holder/ Footwell LED,Switchback LED's (with resistors), 5k Fog LEDs,Cleared headlights, red swayed boot and shift knob, Head Up Display (OBDII plug and play) Custom Carbon fiber diffuser (for Rear Bumper), PWP eyelids from Russia, CF weave bra, and Weather-tec trunk liner?


And how do you guys feel about this deal??

rawger

Well if it was totaled, theoretically you wouldn't be able to sell half those parts...
