[06:32:22] Ziginox/rizon how many times can my gun fuck up

[06:33:04] Ziginox/rizon fifel: slowest car chase ever though lol

[06:33:06] Ziginox/rizon also

[06:33:14] Ziginox/rizon "I had to crash that Honda, baby"

[06:33:36] Ziginox/rizon wez: are you referencing the same thing I am?

[06:34:00] Ziginox/rizon Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead.

[06:35:11] Ziginox/rizon except for 80s Mercedes

[06:37:54] Ziginox/rizon Neo_Nemesis: Nissans are such shitboxes now

[06:38:12] Ziginox/rizon btw Neo_Nemesis, we're talking about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lL1ypndnWA

[06:38:16] Ziginox/rizon regarding hondas and crashing

[06:38:46] Ziginox/rizon ahhh kk

[06:39:09] Ziginox/rizon also I just found the clip with the actual Honda https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DCTCZcFkPs

[06:39:28] Ziginox/rizon is it weird I can tell it has a DOHC engine from the sound? X:

[06:41:54] Ziginox/rizon Neo_Nemesis: there's a couple engines I can tell from sound

[06:42:24] Ziginox/rizon the Nissan VG and VQ engines have a distinctive sound

[06:42:26] Ziginox/rizon and it's pretty awful

[06:42:35] Ziginox/rizon I've never heard a Nissan 350Z that sounds good

[06:42:51] Ziginox/rizon they all sound like fart canons

[06:42:58] Ziginox/rizon it's not even that

[06:43:01] Ziginox/rizon even

[06:43:02] Ziginox/rizon !bang

[06:43:05] Ziginox/rizon !bang

[06:43:07] Ziginox/rizon !bang

[06:43:10] Ziginox/rizon !reload

[06:43:28] Ziginox/rizon just quieter

[06:43:28] Ziginox/rizon Neo_Nemesis: ah, if it was stock as well, that explains why they sound shit stock as well

[06:43:53] Ziginox/rizon the older cars sound great

[06:44:29] Ziginox/rizon okay so, in Pulp Fiction they very clearly dubbed the wrong engine sound in

[06:44:35] Ziginox/rizon which is not at all uncommon in hollywood

[06:44:43] Ziginox/rizon the first generation civic never had a DOHC valvetrain option

[06:45:39] Ziginox/rizon oh wait nvm, the one in the movie is a second generation

[06:45:45] Ziginox/rizon still no DOHC tho

[06:45:58] Ziginox/rizon but yeah, 1980-83

[06:46:16] Ziginox/rizon 1.1L was an option, yeah

[06:46:21] Ziginox/rizon up to 1.5

[06:46:27] Ziginox/rizon speaking of DOHC and old cars tho

[06:47:05] Ziginox/rizon did you know Isuzu had a production DOHC inline four clear back in 1968?

[06:47:38] Ziginox/rizon yeah, a little 1.6L one in the Isuzu 117

[06:48:43] Ziginox/rizon G180Z probably?

[06:49:20] Ziginox/rizon actually related to the 117's engine, which was a G161W

[06:49:51] Ziginox/rizon the G series is so strange

[06:50:14] Ziginox/rizon Isuzu "replaced" it with two other four cylinder engines, the Z series and the X series

[06:50:29] Ziginox/rizon er, 4Z and 4X

[06:50:40] Ziginox/rizon AND YET ISUZU NEVER TOOK THE G SERIES OUT OF PRODUCTION

[06:52:12] Ziginox/rizon well, the G series was used in a handful of GM vehicles (like the LUV, early S10s, Opel Kadett, and the Chevette) before GM replaced it with the Iron Duke

[06:52:19] Ziginox/rizon hey, not the Impulse?

[06:52:50] Ziginox/rizon or this gorgeous thing? https://silodrome.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Isuzu-117-Car-1-scaled.jpg

[06:52:59] Ziginox/rizon https://silodrome.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Isuzu-117-Car-4-740x493.jpg

[06:53:00] Ziginox/rizon hnnnnng

[06:54:22] Ziginox/rizon that one's a 1975, unfortunately not with one of the DOHC engines >:|

[06:54:29] Ziginox/rizon but it's still pretty

[06:54:35] Ziginox/rizon I think it's actually vinyl lol

[06:54:44] Ziginox/rizon well yeah

[06:55:18] Ziginox/rizon but if I were to have a 117, it would have to be one of the early cars (round headlights!) and one of the DOHC engines

[06:55:33] Ziginox/rizon since it's kinda famous for being a pretty early vehicle to have that

[06:55:44] Ziginox/rizon in an era when pushrod OHV engines were still mostly the norm

[06:56:24] Ziginox/rizon an early normal production vehicle, mind

[06:56:47] Ziginox/rizon so, replace the timing belt at the recommended interval

[06:56:49] Ziginox/rizon not an issue

[06:58:57] Ziginox/rizon and yet it's pretty rare when I hear of somebody snapping a timing belt

[07:04:44] Ziginox/rizon oh, they certainly can

[07:04:52] Ziginox/rizon that reminds me

[07:05:12] Ziginox/rizon did you see the oil pump arrangement on the 1.0L ecoboost?

[07:05:43] Ziginox/rizon Gentoo: no shit?

[07:05:45] Ziginox/rizon I had no clue

[07:05:48] Ziginox/rizon </s>

[07:05:57] Ziginox/rizon no

[07:05:59] Ziginox/rizon they put a belt

[07:06:01] Ziginox/rizon a BELT

[07:06:03] Ziginox/rizon in the crankcase

[07:06:39] Ziginox/rizon the belt drops bits of rubber as it wears, right?

[07:06:53] Ziginox/rizon WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU DON'T WANT IN YOUR ENGINE OIL

[07:07:59] Ziginox/rizon yes, and I'm sure it is

[07:08:23] Ziginox/rizon but even if it's an oil safe rubber, it's gonna shed

[07:09:22] Ziginox/rizon this is after Ford put the water pump in the crankcase on the 2.7L ecoboost

[07:09:25] Ziginox/rizon like, what the fuck

[07:09:49] Ziginox/rizon cool

[07:09:50] Ziginox/rizon but

[07:10:01] Ziginox/rizon it's not going to make a milkshake when water pump starts leaking

[07:10:13] Ziginox/rizon water pumps are fucking service items

[07:10:16] Ziginox/rizon like

[07:10:26] Ziginox/rizon WHY IS IT IN THE CRANKCASE

[07:11:16] Ziginox/rizon ahh

[07:11:26] Ziginox/rizon I refuse to get a modern Ford tho

[07:11:33] Ziginox/rizon too many fucking stupid decisions with the engines

[07:11:44] Ziginox/rizon the subaru FB isn't too bad with it tbh

[07:11:54] Ziginox/rizon but it's also a subaru, where if you can't reach it you just pull the engine

[07:13:50] Ziginox/rizon I have nothing to say about a Nissan made in the last idk

[07:13:52] Ziginox/rizon fifteen years

[07:14:07] Ziginox/rizon does gcode count as code

[07:14:29] Ziginox/rizon I'd say it goes back further

[07:14:55] Ziginox/rizon gotta love when your cat blows apart and gets sucked back into the cylinders

[07:15:59] Ziginox/rizon lauded*

[07:16:14] Ziginox/rizon even subaru is kinda going to shit tbh

[07:16:36] Ziginox/rizon Toyota also hasn't made an interesting car in twenty years, I swear

[07:16:40] Ziginox/rizon they just... gave up

[07:17:04] Ziginox/rizon I wouldn't say the BRZ was a failure

[07:17:21] Ziginox/rizon I don't know what the distribution of Scion/Toyota to Subaru models is, but I see them all over the place

[07:17:43] Ziginox/rizon so I really wouldn't call it a failure, at least not commercially

[07:18:01] Ziginox/rizon yes, I know

[07:18:18] Ziginox/rizon what I'm saying is, I don't know which percentage of them were sold from Toyota dealerships

[07:18:47] Ziginox/rizon so I'm not sure if they were a commercial success for Toyota, but I know I see a lot of them

[07:18:52] Ziginox/rizon but I never look close enough to see which badge

[07:18:59] Ziginox/rizon if that makes sense

[07:19:23] Ziginox/rizon I'm angry at Subaru for other reasons right now tho

[07:19:47] Ziginox/rizon if the BRZ/FR-S/86 were a hatchback, I'd be a lot more interested tbh

[07:19:53] Ziginox/rizon BUT

[07:20:10] Ziginox/rizon I'm angry at Subaru for finally bringing "back" the Impreza 2.5RS

[07:20:21] Ziginox/rizon ...in the same year they completely discontinued manual transmissions on the Impreza

[07:20:49] Ziginox/rizon shame

[07:20:59] Ziginox/rizon I have a 'normal' Impreza

[07:21:03] Ziginox/rizon it's slow, but still really fun

[07:21:17] Ziginox/rizon I know

[07:21:23] Ziginox/rizon you don't have to ping me when we're the only two talking btw

[07:21:33] Ziginox/rizon Subaru was one of the holdouts on 'normal' cars

[07:21:53] Ziginox/rizon regarding the normal Impreza tho, it's just a really nice chassis

[07:22:10] Ziginox/rizon it always has been, very easy to toss around

[07:22:16] Ziginox/rizon happy to rotate when you want it to

[07:22:44] Ziginox/rizon at least the manual transmission ones, since they have a different AWD system than the autos

[07:23:49] Ziginox/rizon the gear shift feels great

[07:23:55] Ziginox/rizon the pedals are in the right spots to heel-toe

[07:24:10] Ziginox/rizon for a grocery getter, it's surprisingly fun

[07:24:13] Ziginox/rizon and engaging

[07:24:15] Ziginox/rizon zzz time tho

[07:24:24] Ziginox/rizon and yeah, never really liked the filming style of those tho

[07:24:32] Ziginox/rizon the Family Huckster has the wrong radio >:|

[07:24:51] Ziginox/rizon it's based on a second generation Leone/GL wagon

[07:25:06] Ziginox/rizon but they have the radio from a third generation, specifically a 1985 or 1986 >:|

[07:25:35] Ziginox/rizon (1987 uses the same radio, but most of the interior lighting was changed from amber/orange to green that year)

[07:25:42] Ziginox/rizon (including the radio)

[07:25:55] Ziginox/rizon dumb shit you pick up when you own certain cars lol

[07:26:03] Ziginox/rizon first car was an '86 GL Turbo Coupe

[07:28:20] Ziginox/rizon and if you wanna get even further out into the weeds with it

[07:28:27] Ziginox/rizon the digidash design they used is also wrong

[07:29:47] Ziginox/rizon this is the digital dash from the car they based the huckster on https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5664/21618733414_cf6fdff438_b.jpg

[07:30:06] Ziginox/rizon this is the huckster's dash https://www.topgear.com/sites/default/files/2022/06/dash.jpg

[07:30:22] Ziginox/rizon and, here's the digidash from a 1985 or 1986 https://i.imgur.com/XxVfpzk.jpeg

[07:32:01] Ziginox/rizon yeah, the 300ZX's was cool

[07:33:08] Ziginox/rizon the digital dash for the Isuzu Impulse was kinda lame https://iheartjapanesecars.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/32e0b-86piazza.jpg

[07:33:29] Ziginox/rizon this is the one shown in magazines, but I have no idea if this ever actually ended up in a production car https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FqDzQnqaAAEPH5V.jpg

[07:33:40] Ziginox/rizon oh wait!

[07:33:41] Ziginox/rizon it did! https://i0.wp.com/www.curbsideclassic.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/PIAZZA-04.jpg?ssl=1

[07:44:37] Ziginox/rizon Neo_Nemesis: the Kia Soul I had as a rental just had a screen for the gauge cluster
