Lol pat. Dunno how your parents put up with the cruze's gearbox. It's fuxking annoying. Doesn't know what gear it's meant to be in

the cruze is an absolute pox. Parents regret buying it and wont recommend it to anyone. Its gutless and it chews through a shit load of petrol. Its only got looks, but they skimped bad on the engine.

The diesel would have been a better choice but wasnt available at time of purchase. Parents want to exchange for a diesel or sell up and get a VW jetta

Yea it's got no torque. Needs to downshift twice to go up a hill. We got a rental one. New cdx 1.8 petrol with 1770km. Looks good in and out but engine is crap

i'll bet it's much worse now ;)

Hahahaha. Man it's even hard to thrash! You have no clue how slow it is. You can redline it and it will take 12 years and hit 40km/h.

Traction control off. Tiptronic mode (so it doesn't change gears when it wants) and foot to the floor. And it still wouldn't be considered as thrashing.

if you hold the traction control button for a couple of seconds you will also turn off stability control. No idea why you would give that option to your average mum and dad lol

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
