NitroSpazzz posted:Nice morning to drive the 7 in, still splattered with bug guts from my last early morning drive. Makes everything else on the road look absolutely massive. The chrome mirror needs to be replaced, it's useless and ugly. Heat reflective tape is worth a look, or an actual metal heatshield if there's room. Is there a flap inside the filler neck?

Can't say I'd see a luxury executive car as being targeted towards kids, its really more of a private limousine.

Yeah, I wasn't clear, the idea of putting that much control back there seems bad until I remember some cars are luxury executive cars that kids will never be near.

I'm going to look at a few materials to line the transmission tunnel with, would also be nice to increase air flow through the tunnel. I don't think there's a flap but I need to check and verify, neck turns down 90 degrees right behind the opening so it's mostly splash back I think.

My toddler has discovered she can reach the seat heater button from and make it light up and will absolutely not stop playing with it. No way to disable the rear controls either which seems like a dumb oversight on the manufacturers part.

On the occasion of its second wash of the year and a trip to my parents' housewith a nicer driveway than mine: Yes those are loving blizzaks on my winter wheels shut up there's still a global pandemic and I've only put 13k miles on it in 4.5 years and there's a car seat for a three year old in the back so you know I don't have the energy to put my summers on I'll do it next summer I swear!

A friend of mine put this in our car club discord quote:anyone have any recos for more "off-road" type of suspension and wheels? Maybe from personal experience, a friend you can link me up with, or your readings (if you could send links so I can educate myself, bonus points). I'm not looking to rally the car, just want to be able to take some dirt roads with potholes, etc without an intense amount of clenching.

AFewBricksShy posted:A friend of mine put this in our car club discord sure, but yeah i think if you just wanna rip down some dirt roads then a good fresh oem suspension + tire setup should be okayish. between the super stiff tire sidewall, poly bushings, gravel suspension and racing bucket + harness, the car is pretty uncomfortable to putz around in at low speed, it's kind of jarring to be riding in around the service park and stuff lol. it all smooths out at speed and handles jumps well but it's a rally car - k-sport sti gravel coilovers in the rear - k-sport brz/86/fr-s gravel coilovers in the front - full poly bushings - method rally wheels (501 i think) - pirelli k gravel tires (we ran hards because of the intense heat but mediums may have been better for grip, maybe even mediums at the front and softs at the rear) hot cocoa on the couch fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Aug 10, 2022 |

Yeah, a rally 86 sounds like a hoot and a half. Also that Cutlass is superb, I've always liked the window line and silhouette on those.

Blue car day!  Finally went and picked this up today. One owner EM1, all maintenance records from new, and was garage kept until 2020. Small mechanical things to be done: sway bar end links, valve cover gasket, exhaust mid pipe - all will be done tomorrow hopefully. Maybe some pads and rotors, TBD. One cosmetic 🤮 spot from a parking lot hit 20 years ago that came back to the surface which will probably be taken care of in the spring. Current plan is to leave it stock and drive it occasionally. Edit: better pics will come in the daytime. Imperador do Brasil fucked around with this message at 03:00 on Aug 14, 2022 |
