1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Something is wrong here. I tried ordering an intermittent wiper switch with a variable dial for my girlfriend’s RAV4. The eBay salvage yard photo and listing title was for a wiper stalk, not the turn signal/headlights. I spoke with a guy on the phone and he agreed that I was sent the wrong part.

Now it’s just awkward to call them again lol.

 

Went hunting tonight

Bathed 6 of the angry fuckers in the backyard with Raid

Going to get some stronger stuff tomorrow

 

Dibs

 

Where tf did you move to??

 

Just over into Tempe.. I was in Tempe for like 6 years before moving to Chandler for the last couple years, never saw 1 that whole time.

 

There's a build thread now...

 

I have a car-enthusiast friend who drives a WRX and has some track driving experience. I have another friend who has a current-gen F150 Raptor. WRX friend says the Raptor is faster than his WRX, and that it corners flatter on pavement, and obviously it drives better on dirt.

Granted, the Raptor is 5+ years newer and cost something like 4x as much, but... they are impressive machines.

 

Damn that is a good deal. If i weren’t up to my eyeballs in problems already, id probably bite.

 

This is probably a 5vz truck...

 

My brother spun out his jetta on dry payment trying to keep up with my lifted 4 runner with no sway bars and 32.8 inch tall tires... I find that no matter what vehicle youn have simply having double wishbone front suspension gives you an advantage over Macpherson strut

 

Found a house there?

Was gonna say, you ain't even on Road Craft

For some reason, my commands list disappeared. I remember some of them as I'm using the crane, but they're all gone suddenly.

Disregard - two restarts and finally

 

Probably some truth to that theory, but this WRX has summer stickies and does corner very well.

 

Yeah another house, really liking it so far, other than the arachnids
Still haven't gotten much set up, but this is a 4 day weekend for me so lot of time to finish everything up

 

Vehicle balance is super important, there's still a ton of suspension design work that goes into MacPherson strut systems. If they were bad for handling I don't think BMW would use them on everything from lowly 320i all the way to the Competition M3 and M5

 

Just means the last people didn't spray yearly. I sprayed the house every other month when I was in Tempe and the only things I ever had were the occasional cricket

 

My assumption was always that double wishbone was better but MacPherson was "good enough" and cheaper enough to make it worth the compromise. Like... in the case of the M3 and M5, double wishbone would probably be better but not enough better to engineer a completely different suspension from the regular 3 series and 5 series platforms.

Not a hill I have any interest in dying on anyway, my point was just that Raptors are really good.

 

@Wulf as someone with knowledge of both Spanish-speaking and Aurora, whatcha think?

 

Raptor R right outta the box is better than anything else on the market ATM for sure

 

Hell yeah good to hear; I remember having a garage/space was important to ya

 

Not sure what was worse - getting the crane at the edge of the cliff to install the new pipe, or having brought 4 vehicles across the entire map just to get me access to this broken pipe
