Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Does it matter what type of freon I use to put on my AC system? Like, do different models of cars require different types?

is there diffident kinds? Also isn't freon dangerous?

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

It is pretty much all R134a. There are some different ones with some seal conditioner which can help to prevent leaks for a while.

Car Throttle is a community overrun by stupid little fanboys that either have never driven a car or think they know a lot about cars, because they play Forza Horizon and watch(ed) TopGear. One of the most vicious and hostile communities to be in.

I do prefer a manual transmission for just about everything, but I understand why some people like autos.

 

It really doesn't bother me when people make a stink one way or another as long as their arguments are based in reality. The people who bother me say things like "a truck with a manual transmission ran over my bike when I was ten, so I hate all manual transmissions now!"

I'm mostly sick of the haughty attitude some people have about driving manual cars

There is always at least three manual gearbox evangelists in every thread where someone just wants to buy a car

There are a lot of hard headed people when it comes to this kind of thing. Like people who automatically eliminate cars made by companies founded in certain countries...

 

There are more than a few of those, even in this very thread.

So you have bought ever car from every country? BS. 

 

That is like saying my Civic had a leaky power steering rack (fact) so I am going to trash talk all Japanese cars. It just doesn't make any sense.

lol my dad's G35 went through an engine, its entire suspension (literally every bushing cracked lol), and has an oil leak at the rear main seal on the current engine.

 

 

I still love the car and a lot of other Japanese cars. xD

 

 

I'm kinda open minded though. I try to resist brand/country-picking and just pick out what I like.

I am making the point that a bad car even, does not condemn a company, and certainly not a whole countries worth of companies.

Probably just bad luck. Normally all Japanese cars are dead reliable. our protege has gone 250k, and many parts on it are original, such as the engine, transmission, clutch, suspension, and a lot of things.
