Habits, mostly. I've only owned manual transmissions, and just prefer them. I'm not completely opposed to an automatic, but I'll miss the third pedal.

I've never driven a manual lol. Never had a chance. Driven trucks though. I do not want to be fucking with the transmission, even just crusing on the highway with something that big.

 

[Troon_Patrol]

Manuals are overrated, I thought that shit was so cool when I was younger then you drive one for 6 months in a large city and hate it. If you have to be in that much control over your transmission just get something that that has a sport mode and paddle shift. I have a semi-auto option for my weekend car, maybe used it twice?

Out here in the country it’s still fun, but yeah, when I take my old truck to the big cities, it sucks big time. God help you at crosswalks and stoplights

Also doesn’t help that the thing has terrible manual steering to boot

If I lived in a small town (which is actually the plan someday, god willing) I probably would appreciate the MT more, especially in the situations where I would be using the low gears for unpaved roads and such. My weekend car would look more like an SUV/midsize truck instead of a rear wheel drive muscle car.

Honestly I don't understand what you're suggesting, paddle shift is gay or auto trans? What are the HP numbers at the wheels is your weekend car is putting down? Based on the specs I would say with you put my car on a dyno right now I would be making 400-420 at the wheels. And you?

Gay boy auto/paddle trans person starts whipping out BHP as if he built the car from the ground up himself and it means something. For your info, my weekend car kicks out 240, and my daily driver (Aston) is just shy of 500, not that it matters

You just don't like driving. It's ok.

Manuals are for people who like driving engagement. Watch a drag race, one guy w/ an auto, one with a manual. The guy with the manual will be smiling and having a blast. The guy w/ the auto will be bored.

I make 550whp on e40, 0-60 is low 3s, top end is over 180mph; if any of this adds weight to my argument. Driving a 120hp manual car is more fun. @CaptainAutism69 is correct.

Actually yes, quite a bit. Everything from the Exhaust to the raw data in the factory ECU has been modified, I actually changed data in there the dealership told me was impossible to modify and I should just buy some aftermarket tunable ECU. I have a background in EEPROM in addition to fabrication including CNC, traditional conventional machines welding and I've done SOME body work although I'm not fantastic at it. If you're not making 300 at the wheels I guess you need the stick to keep it interesting, I wouldn't know. One of my first cars was a shitty J body manual and for 2 weeks it was fun then pointless. I'd rather have the street-ability and the convenience of that auto trans and the "sleeper" factor. I love the sleeper factor.

 

[Bassomatic]

Funny enough about driving stick as I'm about to get my knee done I'm really thinking a twin disk. Otherwise it could be months till I drive the civic.
I did just get it back!! 207/148. Doesn't sound like a lot but 4.9 final about a ton with me in it. Yeah she scoots. Power band is great. I couldn't be happier. Well if I could drive it... Or paint done on roof but I digress.

You still project too much. Any cunt can chuck an after market exhaust on their car and flash an ECU. As the poster above said, it's ok, you're just not a car guy (and probably take it in the ass)

Gay boy auto/paddle

( take it in the ass)

All due respect, were you molested as a child by an older male figure? Father? Uncle? Soccer Coach? Not trying to be mean but, when you said "project" I jumped to that conclusion given all the focus on homosexualty and projected statements related to homosexuality.

No.

...and flash an ECU.

No.

EEPROM and flash are separate entities. You can order up a performance profile of a .bin file written by someone who understands EEPROM and your specific language/memory device/ECU and then flash that into certain memory devices that do not require removal from the board of the ECU. The word "flash" has become something that means data exchanged including via designated data port such as the OBD2, it originally meant extracting/modifying/writing data to a memory device by direct connection to the device pins themselves. Some of these devices require a partial or complete disconnect from the board (typically the oscillator is what you want to short) or you will corrupt the data to the point any remaining data is useless. Some earlier BMW cas3/cas+ systems can be restored due to the unique and not so destructive manner in which they specifically become corrupted, the car specifically the Cas unit will appear bricked and any BMW mechanic or even dealer tech will throw it away, and charge thousands for a new unit and pairing to the DME. Very similar all BMW vehicles using the EWS2-4 system either require access to the BMW key database or EEPROM work to replace a lost key to the vehicle.

You are confusing a scan tool procedure connected to the OBD2 for what EEPROM actually is and how it is utilized for secured modules that are by design NOT to be ever accessed via OBD2 port.

Nigger did you build the fucking engine, interior, gearbox, drivetrain, or stick an exhaust on and fuck around with a computer?
Why not just come out and admit you're a faggot?

OK... OK I admit it, I was the soccer coach who sodomized you, to be fair you did kinda ask for it. Dude it's just a car thread. Chill the fuck out, you're getting in lolcow territory of anger-sperging over my transmission preference.

Anyone with two thumbs and one eye can scan/tune a car via OBD2. It gets complicated when you need to extract data via EEPROM from the car modules. I personally hate dealing with Mercedes Benz, all of them suck but the FSB3 security system (Around 1998-2016ish) is terrible. The ESL and the transmission are considered by MB USA to be "theft controlled parts" in addition to the IES unit and the keys themselves. When the ESL goes bad on a Mercedes you have one shot at the easy disassembly putting the key in and out and striking the ESL unit with a hammer, don't bother with a dead-blow because the entire unit really should be scrapped anyway. From there if you can get the motor to turn one more time you are saved from taking the entire column down just to get to one stupid 13mm threaded post. Open it up, extract that data from the memory device and upload it into a new ESL unit or just install an emulator. I really could talk about car security systems for days. But, point being it's just laughable to me you think a scan tool and auto EEPROM work are the same job, why would mechanics and dealerships pay me to do all that if they could just hit some buttons on the AUTEL IM608?

Why are you posting more 'tuning' autism? You didn't build a 400 hp car, you took the hard work of a company, changed the exhaust and fucked around with a computer. Bragging about HP is gayer than an auto tranny

You didn't seem to understand the concept of OB2 tuning and actual auto EEPROM work being 2 very different things. I still don't think you are understanding the difference between port tuning and data acquisition/modification from secured modules in the vehicle.

This is an Autel IM608 scan tool, it's a very good device especially for the money, it plugs into the OBD2 (the port under the dash typically) and allows some diagnostic to data accessible through what in vehicles is typically called the "canbus" or "can network"

This is a secured device EIS out of a Mercedes benz, it cannot be accessed through cables, only by directly tapping into the secured memory device by soldering wires with a laptop and proper equipment can you obtain/modify/write necessary data to service this vehicle.

This a memory device AKA "computer chip" it contains data, sometimes the data can be access via cable connected to the board, sometimes by design and necessity it cannot be, sometimes the data is also encrypted .

I know it's a kinda complicated for people who don't work on security devices German cars and such but you understand these are not the same processes now? The auto manufacturers do not want you to be able to access certain parts of vehicles, auto theft security devices, airbag data, VIN related data, mileage. Auto EEPROM is a very powerful tool that the dealer techs do not have access to due to the specific skill requirements. I have done this procedure on hundreds of vehicles some even on the factory dealership lot when the dealership quoted the customer $5,000 USD for a module swap/pair, they would rather pay me the $2,000, and be done in 90 minutes rather than order up an entirely new ECU/security module wait a week for the part to show up and another day for the installation and pairing procedure.

Could you retards please just go back to Reddit.

This a memory device

I wanted desperately to stay out of this since it's pretty retarded but calling a 68HC05 a 'memory device' is hilarious. I suppose yeah it has an embedded EEPROM but that's a microcontroller.

Well yeah, you're right that is probably the more accurate term but, it is known simply as a "memory device" in my field. My point being the data is only accessible via eeprom on boards with this type of device.
