  1. Sub-$250 "small" mobile device

    It's time for my wife to get a new phone. She currently has a (broken) Moto G6, and with a rugged case, it barely fits inside her wallet. She also cannot reach across the phone when using it with one hand. She has expressed strong interest in a smaller device as a replacement. Unfortunately, in...

  2. Question Budget Build for Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign

    Thanks Mark. I went ahead and bumped the CPU up to the 3600X since it's the same price today, and picked out an inexpensive kit of 1.35v 3600 from G.Skill.

  3. Question Budget Build for Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign

    Looking to put together a home business machine for my wife. She's considering migrating from an old MacBook Pro to Windows for cost and customizability reasons. She uses her machine to work with high resolution canvasss, but was really getting by alright with her 2012 BMP. Here's what I've...

  4. Would it make any sense, to upgrade Ryzen 1600 to 2600 (2nd-gen)?

    I'm still on Ivy Bridge - you can guess my opinion. It used to be that I'd get a new CPU every time performance doubled, which was every 2-3 years. Now I'd do it for anything more than 25%. I have zero use for the extra cores, and per-core performance is only barely 25% better after 6 years. I...

  5. Hybrid Battery Failure and Replacement

    It's not uncommon at all to replace just a stick or two in a Toyota battery. Cost can be as little as $2-400. They don't typically all fail at once.

  6. Gyro capable controller?

    I suppose this doesn't pertain to a game specifically, but I've been searching for a few days for a gyro capable controller for PC - I've been replaying Breath of the Wild via emulator (yay 4K + better textures and shadows) but find it somewhat annoying to need to pick up my phone and start a...

  7. Mark my words

    Power to weight. Your 3 weighs in at ~3,000lbs, GTST weighs in at a relatively hefty 2900lbs, pretty crazy heavy for the era. I would only need 90HP under the hood of my hybrid for it to be quicker than your 3, and 100HP to make it faster than the Skyline. The RX-7, for comparison, was a 2500lb...

  8. Mark my words

    There are plenty of fun, inexpensive manual cars out there you could probably afford with what's in your account right now. You're just (seemingly) fixated on one in particular. Not that there's anything wrong with this. I'm sure you're aware that your specificity is what's pushing this way out...

  9. Your next car (and what you're driving now)

    Please, please add another 2 seater manual to the roads.

  10. Buying cars from those small-time used car dealers - tips, tricks?

    Many of those lots don't actually accept cash. You have to take their financing because that's how they make money.

  11. Your next car (and what you're driving now)

    Current: 2000 Honda Insight, nearing 250k miles Next: Next month I'm replacing the engine with a <40k Acura TSX engine, and a custom 6 speed gear box. That makes it a new car, right? 200+HP in a <1700lb vehicle. ;)

  12. New Honda Accord - base 4 banger turbo or the Hybrid?

    Up until ~2016, most hybrids used NiMH batteries. We don't know how long the newer lithium packs will last, but chances are good they'll be a lot cheaper to replace. The pack in my G1 Insight was still good at 18 years old when I sold it earlier this year. Sold the pack, that is.

  13. different color car lights....

    Quit pulling right up to people's bumpers while on a hill.

  14. different color car lights....

    When people try that here, they get a ticket.

  15. New Honda Accord - base 4 banger turbo or the Hybrid?

    Depends on the year of the Volt as to how it’s set up. You can have a stationary gear even if it’s always connected. Priuses have transmission fluid and bearings. I’m sure the Accord also has bearings, but far fewer. Drivetrain losses are much lower.

  16. New Honda Accord - base 4 banger turbo or the Hybrid?

    Some information here which doesn’t apply to the Accord hybrid. The Prius and Volt both have orbital gearboxes in which the engine is connected to the wheels at any speed. It's a power split device, and the engine need not provide any power below a certain speed. These gearboxes are remarkably...

  17. I'm getting a hankering for an 80's head turner

    How about a clean CRX? That'd turn a lot of heads in my generation.

  18. I'm getting a hankering for an 80's head turner

    How about the very handsome Ferrari Mondial? It screams its way to 60 faster than a Prius, and has horse badges on the wheels. What's not to love? I can't imagine they're very expensive. Perhaps not the sort of attention you're looking to attract though?

  19. 2019 Audi A6

    It's worth noting that Dashboard-Light often reports "not enough data" on vehicles which are less than 5 years old. Consumer Reports has data on vehicles which have only been out for a few weeks or months. I also dug into the per-model reliability for Audi on Consumer Reports and found that most...

  20. 2019 Audi A6

    Extended warranty is definitely a good idea. Audi has one of the worst track records for reliability - though there is a lot of variation model to model. Some models (like the Q5) have almost Toyota-level reliability, at least by the metrics measured by dashboard-light. Score for the older...

  21. Buying third party parts and having mechanic install them?

    Your mechanic probably won't offer you warranty on the work he did, but I wouldn't expect that to be important for a trailing arm anyway.

  22. Acura TSX engine in a Honda Insight

    Stock, the back is very "rollie pollie" as you put it. I replaced the rear springs with 30% higher spring rate springs around 7 months ago, and that improved things significantly. Taking all of that weight out of the back has only made it better. The car feels really well planted and balanced...

  23. Acura TSX engine in a Honda Insight

    More parts ordered: 2003 Civic Si knuckles, calipers, 2012 Civic Si 6th gear, a set of new synchros, clutch, RSX ECU, RSX-S engine bay harness, 2003 Accord throttle body (for cable conversion), RSX-S wideband O2 sensor (for leaning out to 19:1 AFR during light loads), TSX A/C compressor. Still...

  24. Acura TSX engine in a Honda Insight

    Finished putting my sound dampening in. What a difference! Subjectively, when I first drove it afterward, it was like when your ears need to pop and the world is very muffled. Getting close to finishing the hatch area: Since most of the weight going in the back is in place now, I...

  25. Looking for a winter beater car around $5K

    I drive a Honda Insight in Vermont's mountains. It has low ground clearance and is very light. I've never gotten stuck. Plenty of people here drive Priuses. Honda Civics are also very common. Basically, any car will work, just get snow tires. A Corolla will have a lower cost of ownership than...

  26. new speakers help

    The speakers will be "fine" on the head unit. An Infinity Reference would be a decent choice for a new, inexpensive amp: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Infinity+reference+amp 400w RMS is more than plenty. 550w is probably not worth the extra...

  27. new speakers help

    Infinity Kappas sound really good when powered by just a head unit. ;)

  28. Need Automotive AC Experts

    Present, but they break data down into specific models and years, and explain what fails most commonly. http://www.dashboard-light.com/ Mind you these are major mechanical issues which might take a car off the road. A/C failures don't contribute to this score. But, I think it reflects on...

  29. Need Automotive AC Experts

    One word: headgasket.

  30. Need Automotive AC Experts

    German engineering. Oh wait, MB is near the top. Must just be Audi and VW. ;)

  31. Acura TSX engine in a Honda Insight

    Chopped up my fuel filler lines, and started laying down new flooring:

  32. When to give up on repairs

    Yeesh, some real horror stories here. I can't imagine paying $2,000 per year in maintenance - I paid $3,000 for my car at ~150k miles and in the intervening ~100k miles I've owned it, I replaced one wheel bearing ($150 to have a shop do it), a clutch master cylinder ($60 on RockAuto), a 12v...

  33. When to give up on repairs

    The automatic transmissions Honda used with their V6 engines during the early 2000's were garbage. Their manuals of that era have premature syncro failure, and CVTs were still in their infancy and also unreliable. The autos used with their 4 cylinder seem fine and their manuals can be driven...

  34. new speakers help

    If you don't go with an amp, keep the volume down or you'll blow the speakers again. If you want to crank it safely, get an amp. EDIT: I used to have an amp and actually removed it when I got my new speakers - Infinity Kappas. They have much higher sensitivity and make more volume with the same...

  35. Anybody with new(er) 8SP Toyota

    Yep, makes a huge difference, keeping RPM down. Autos these days often get better mileage than manuals in large part because they have taller top gear options. It's not unusual to find most 4 cylinders at 3000+ at highway speeds. I'm doing an engine swap and re-gearing at the same time, so I...

  36. Acura TSX engine in a Honda Insight

    Just ordered parts for a battery relocation, and fuel filler line relocation. These stick out far too much!

  37. Acura TSX engine in a Honda Insight

    Hah! I've thought about it. However, I'll probably be close to the limit of what I can reasonably put down in a FWD car even just naturally aspirated with a tune. I've seen these 2.4's put down ~250-275whp with just IHE and a tune, closer to 350 with a K20 head.. Would probably need to only...

  38. PC Configuration Help Needed

    I used my PC for a few weeks with just 4GB and found it very usable. Windows uses less when you have less. No low memory errors playing the (admittedly light) MOBAs I play sometimes. I think this is a mole hill many often make a mountain of - more RAM can always be added later, and I'm inclined...

  39. Acura TSX engine in a Honda Insight

    Removed some tabs and bits from the back.

  40. Acura TSX engine in a Honda Insight

    Started gutting the back. The DC-DC converter and motor controller will go as soon as I get a small power supply in. The rear of the car sits a good 3 inches higher already.
