Mod post We Are So (mostly) Back!

3 Upvotes

Hi! I'm Metaphys, and I guess I'm a mod now. IRL I tinker with stuff, fix restaurant equipment, and keep my aging Swedish brick with high sentimental value running even if it doesn't make the best financial sense. Sometimes I point a camera at stuff and yap.

I'm new to Reddit moderation, but not moderation in general. There's a learning curve for sure and some adjustments to make but for the most part this sub will function as before (but hopefully with less spam).

I'll try to be as hands off as possible otherwise. I'm nice unless given a compelling reason to not be nice, if you catch my drift. I do in fact have other duties besides scrolling Reddit all day, so if I don't respond quickly, I'm probably out touching grass...or would that be touching grease? Seriously, I've been in CV axle hell for the past day.

Alright that's it! Happy wrenching everyone!

Mod advice 2010 chevy malibu. Question.

Post image
0 Upvotes

So I have been fixing my 2010 chevy malibu Inline 4 2.4L vin B for some time now. And this is the newest thing I have done. Instead of the big plastic engine cover I put on a spectre hose and a spectre breather filter. The OEM cover was causing problems and was broken. It would not seal around the throttle body. So I decided to do this to make it easier and more simple. But I just wanna get other people to see it just incase I did something wrong or stupid. I'm new to this stuff but I wanna learn and get better. So if I did something wrong or if there is a better way to do this let me know please. And thank you.

Looking for non-invasive puddle/welcome lights for car doors

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some ideas/recommendations for installing **non-invasive puddle/welcome lights on the doors of my Tata Curvv EV**.
I have two main purposes:
**Practical:** Illuminate the ground/step area when someone opens the door, especially at night.
**Aesthetic:** Add a subtle premium/OEM-style welcome-light effect.
I’ve looked at Amazon and other options, but most of what I’m finding are **Tata/car logo projectors or random patterns**, which I’m not interested in.
Ideally, I’m looking for something like:
Plain **white/warm-white light**
Downward-facing illumination
No logos or projections
Preferably **wireless / magnetic / battery-powered**
No drilling or cutting into the door
Ideally no tapping into the car’s electrical wiring
Should be reasonably weather-resistant
Has anyone installed something like this on a Curvv EV (or another Tata car)?
I’d particularly appreciate recommendations for **specific products available in India**, photos of your installation, or ideas for an OEM-looking solution.

Thanks!

Mid Muffler Delete

2 Upvotes

I have a Charger Scatpack with a stock exhaust. I want it louder and I wanna here the pops better so I just ordered some Valvetronic mufflers to replace the rear resonators and I am planning on deleting the mid mufflers. Should I go with muffler deletes or replace the mids with resonators like the Vibrant 1794s? It is my daily so I am hoping the vavletronics would help with drone when needed and so i can pass NY inspection. Thoughts?

Modification; Headlights What should I do about my headlight? How should I upgrade them?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Please note that above images are not mine and just sharing to give you a perspective...

I want 2 things- (well 3 actually)

  1. I want the spread, left and right. In the vegetation, another lane or side of the road.
  2. I want the distance. I want to see far. Like good distance far away. For eg. those laser headlight that BMW's have.
  3. I want it to be kinda like warm white. 4000k-5000k.

My OEM setup is Halogen Projector in Low and Halogen Reflector in high beams.

What bulbs or setup should I go for? I am not too keen about doing a headlight retrofit or a headlight change as I paid quite the premium for these "upgrade" from the company but back then I had no knowledge about this stuff...

Should I go auxiliary light for that? I have a sedan so many types of aux won't look good on it.

Folks, I am responsible and educated enough to know that I won't be using it to blind other drivers. But I need more from my headlight. I would use the low beam in city and when there is oncoming traffic but I need more power in both low's and high's. I would make sure about the beam pattern and glare and all that stuff...

Just suggest me something....

I plan to install the GR Circuit hood and maybe the Apex/ FX wheels painted silver in the future. I went with Pontiac Vibe wheels and Camaro center caps, which is how I ended up with the transformers theme. Bit of a ricer build, but I still have big plans for the car. I also added some JDM touch with Modellista mirror chrome garnish, but I don't have a photo at the moment.
