Sab669 posted:also has anyone ITT owned a stinger? I hate the idea of giving up a stick for my dd but there's really nothing I want on today's market and I'm over this RS. Don't like five of us own Stingers at this point? I had a C5 Corvette for 13 years along with a daily driver for work, and I can honestly say it's an almost perfect compromise when I had a kid and needed just one car. It's not as fun as the Vette but it's fast and holds all the gear I need, only with a lift back it's easier than ever to load and unload. I can't see going back to a normal trunk. As for all the features I'm not one to ask because mines 3.5 years old and I've never even connected my phone to it.

Yea I just want something kinda quick/fun but can still haul the dogs and bouldering pads. Trying to myself to look for a GT-Line instead of a GT2 but my dumb lizard brain wants the top model of course

Ah gently caress, didn't realize it was the Theta 2 in there. Yea I just saw on reddit the other day Hyundai/Kia just paid a huge fine over that thing lol.

Defogging the windshield is using more the dehumdifiying aspects of the AC unit than actual heat.

Guess that depends on whether your goal is to come up with something that will actually demist the windscreen or just something that technically meets the requirement.

bull3964 posted:Defogging the windshield is using more the dehumdifiying aspects of the AC unit than actual heat. Oh yeah you don't get AC without the ICE either lol. My solutions to these things were: - Electrohydraulic pump for power steering (worked great) - Automotive electrical vacuum pump and accumulator for brakes (worked great) - 12V heat-pump for heating/demisting and cooling (never got around to installing it) What you can actually get away with for demisting depends strongly on the regulations where you live and the engineer signing off on it, in Australia it at least was the case that the demister had to be a 'heat source' and it had to have 'equivalent performance' to the factory system. A lot of people would fit a 12V water heater and pump to the existing dash heater core as that is the minimum effort but I couldn't do that as my heater core leaked and I didn't want to rip the entire dash apart to get it.

It's wild out there. My car is kinda boring and slow, but I'm just going to keep and baby it for years at this rate.

That was also true of my Mazda 3 in late 2018. I was planing to buy a used car, but the new ones were cheaper. I remember thinking it was super weird.

Yeah ran into this as well in 2018. Was going to buy a used Tacoma but the new ones were cheaper with the dealer incentives. At the time I attributed it to the fact that Toyota pickups, in particular, hold their resale value.

Sab669 posted:I think there may have been minor damage reported, I forget honestly. That's probably the issue. Book on a 2016-2017 RS with your mileage should be ~$27-28k and a carfax hit would drop its value $4-5k. That might just be what the market is on your car right now.

Pretty much, looks like an Acura. That yellow is horrible though. EDIT: Oh the base model is only $30k? That's way cheaper than I thought, especially since the Civic Si is what $28k now?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha2s52kC-E4 The profiles for both the new Integra and new Civic Si look nearly identical (which I guess shouldn't surprise anybody). I was hoping for a little bit more distinction but beggers can't be choosers I suppose.

For real though, check all your intake plumbing to make sure it's tight and no leaks and maybe also check your MAF? Edit: Nice crotch shot.
