It's right there man :sleep:

errr i dont know about u, but simply typing dodge spirit for me in google means sifting through pages and pages of stuff that i cant make sense of :p im not asking anyone to do the leg work for me, it was more or less a retohrical question seeing as it doesnt bother me enough to know because im not a gear head and being able to just get from A to B means a lot to me ;) heheheheh

well i started reading reviews of my car and came across this stat:

a 3.0-litre V6 (141-142 hp.)

thats my car it has a 3.0 litre V6 which they say equates to 142 horsepower. Is that any good?

OH and heres a huge question... Im a very impatient person, so when leaving my driveway and little townhouse complex i often gun it to the stop signs and have to brake hard, how bad si this for the car? Also someone once told me that i have a "heavy foot" as in i press the accelorator too much too fast- he said that if i eased off the gas it would be better for both the car and usage of gas... is this true?

well, to answer your questions, if you like replacing your brake pads really soon, and you like beating on your car, then by all means, go ahead and keep doing what you're doing. also having a "heavy foot" will result in poor gas milage cause every time you floor it you send the computer's ECU into closed loop mode and it starts to pour fuel into the motor to keep up with the fact that you just opened the throttle to it's max, and then you let off all the sudden, so lots of unburnt fuel goes out the tail pipe.

That and it means you are making the car work very hard from cold, which will ultimately lead to increased wear on engine components. You are supposed to treat cars with a bit more care for the first 15 minutes or so of driving until the oil gets to a safe operating temperature..

Keep driving your car as you are and not only will your fuel bill be huge, and your engine rebuild expensive.. but speeding around everywhere after having only passed 2 months earlier will see you getting into an accident and soon. Every new driver thinks they are invincible because they don't know what the cars are capable.. I thought my granddad didnt know what he was talking about after I passed my test and he said "Now you can learn to drive!" - few weeks later I was racing some friends, and almost ended up in a serious wreckage after going too fast into a roundabout and jamming the brakes on in a car with no ABS.. taught me a lesson and quick!

I know i've already posted but borrowed a good camera from work this weekend (Nikon D70) and had to show off :)

My much loved 1992 Corrado G60 :D

I love your car.

if I can find one here in Markham, ill buy it.

what $$$ does it cost in good condition?

2001 VW Golf 1.8T

Nickname: None yet

GLS 1.8T Engine

HP: 150 @ 5800 RPM / Torque: 162 @ 2200 RPM

Transmission: Standard

0-60 in Not sure

First mod will be to chip it which will push it to 192 hp / 199 ft/lbs torque.

Tinting and a new deck is also coming. No sub though, I would rather the trunk space.

This is basically my car with the exception of a sunroof deflector and vw mud flaps... I will put an updated on one when it gets nicer outside.

Good question.. I live in the UK so its hard to say what the prices are like in Canada!

But if you are seriously considering a Corrado, head over to the message boards for the Corrado Club of Canada.. some really nice guys there who i'm sure would be able to answer some questions for you :)

    • Agreed. And this is a great discount offer! It's a shame that there's no discount offer option for people who would be fine subscribing for a year-long term, but pay monthly.
    • A Warhammer 40K racing game and a chess roguelike are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store has returned to its standard giveaway procedures after weeks of mystery freebies. The latest drop is replacing last week's Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest games and has brought in a double giveaway offering Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. From the duo, Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks lands from developer Caged Element, and it's a racing game that was only released last year. The title has you piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures. The focus is on multiplayer mayhem, offering multiple game modes that have you fighting other players as everyone tries to survive and get across finish lines or destroy mechs. Crossplay support between PC and consoles has now arrived as part of a free update, too, giving a boost to matchmaking times for this multiplayer-focused title. If racing carnage isn't your thing, then The Ouroboros King offers tactics. The indie title is a mashup of chess and standard roguelike experience, letting players create their own armies to defeat an enemy faction, all on the familiar checkered board. There is a procedurally generated map, pieces with special abilities, relics that bend the game's rules to make overpowered builds, and more. The newly available Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.

    • The most consequential argument in technology right now is not about which model is smartest or which chip is fastest. It is about whether the entire enterprise is a generational revolution or the largest financial bubble ever inflated — and the unsettling answer, increasingly, is that it may be both at once.,,,, https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318138/20260610/ai-revolution-ai-bubble-trillion-dollar-question-splitting-wall-street-silicon-valley.htm This is a very good read.  For what it is worth, I agree with the answer to the question.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.4-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.4-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.4 Release Notes Notable changes: DRM now uses a per-site permission, instead of allowing all requested sites access, when DRM is enabled.
