Hello all,

I am the not so proud owner of a 2009 Peugeot 308 CC. A car I used to like (the first car I really chose as a young driver), but I'm now wondering how long I should keep spending on it.

Earlier this month, I took it to the garage to change the clutch kit + flywheel. No less than 2000€, but I thought hey, after 168K km, it was needed, and I definitely noticed the change when I got it back, so let's go.

I also changed the front shocks - there again, that's something to be expected from time to time, so fine, let me get my credit card. At least the car doesn't creak at every bump anymore.

Also changed some sensor that caused the car to shut down without notice from time to time. Thank god that seems to be resolved.

Two weeks after that, my car refused to start one morning - had to change the battery (good thing is, since then it stopped saying I have a problem with all the tire pressure sensors every time I drive, so I guess that's cool, lol).

Now I still have to change the bushings (which should also cost me quite a few bucks) and I don't have much time, since I've read it could cause some vibrations in the clutch pedal which I have been experiencing when driving at low speed recently (and I suppose that's the source of the problem since again the clutch kit is brand new).

Aaannnd (because I have sooo much money to spend, appearently), I'm also experiencing some strange vibrations when driving at stable pace (can't really describe it, it's kinda like for 0.3 seconds there wasn't enough fuel coming in, or something). It's very occasionnal (has only happened once the last few weeks) and very subtle, but appearently, according to what I've read on other subs, it could come from a variety of things (fuel filter, mass air flow sensor, ...).

Am I just terribly unluckly with the timing and should I change the bushings and see where it goes from here, or should I just give up, stop spending money on it and find another car?

Bonjour à tous,

Il y a peu, j'ai posté ici même un topic concernant un souci que j'observais sur mon véhicule qui, très occasionnellement et sans prévenir, calait sans raison apparente, toujours soit à l'arrêt soit à faible vitesse. ( https://www.reddit.com/r/voiture/comments/1t6otww/help_ma_voiture_cale_occasionnellement_sans/ )

J'avais d'ailleurs oublié de mentionner un problème occasionnel de patinage (parfois très léger, parfois très prononcé).

Conformément aux conseils qui m'ont été donné, j'ai pris rdv dans un garage pour lui faire passer un diagnostic. Le verdict est tombé : il s'agirait de l'embrayage et du volant moteur.

Le coût total du devis: 3 571.50€ (j'ai maloku)

Voici les lignes du devis les plus onéreuses (TTC) 😄

Double volant embrayage - 1235€

Kit pro embrayage - 668€

Depose-pose volant moteur - 3L1 - 1007€

Et à soustraire du total : 145€ pour le diagnostic et environ 30€ pour un changement d'ampoule. Soit grosso modo 3 400€

Cela vous paraît-il logique et en concordance avec des facturations "normale" ?

Pour info, mon véhicule est un 308CC de 2009 (moteur 2L HDi) et le garage en question est la plus grosse enseigne Peugeot de la ville (pas un petit indépendant).

Merci d'avance pour vos réponses avisées.

In my case, I didn't play VF 1, 2 and 3 in my younger days, so I didn't grow up with those soundtracks. And after discovering them years later, they just didn't have the same catch for me as the later games.

VF4, tho, I must have spent a decade of lifetime playing it. 💙💛

I like how the VF4 soundtrack really tried to match each stage's vibe and identity. On the other hand, the Evo soundtrack is full of catchy bangers. It's hard for me to pick between the two.

For the VF5 era, to me Vanilla takes the cake. 🧡

VF5R's soundtrack was bit too agressive for me. FS was alright, and US is average.

What about you guys? Which game(s) is the winner of the best soundtrack title for you?

For those who don't know, Akira was not in the original lineup for the OG VF game. Siba (or Majido) was!

The wiki page for Siba states the following:

"In an interview featured in the Japanese CD-Rom Virtua Fighter: The Beginning, AM2 staff member Nakajima states that Siba's reason for being cut was a lack of usage at location tests. He speculates that it was due to Siba lacking a signature move, like Jacky's somersault or Lau's Stomp.^(")

Although I remember reading somewhere that the studio pushed the creative team for a Ryu-like character, thus the creation of Akira. Siba was therefore totally forgotten, and only brought back in Fighters Megamix.

However, I'm hoping this is finally the time they rework him and allow him to join the roster!

The game lacks an arab character, and he would be the perfect fit, being from Saudi Arabia. Tekken added Shaheen in T7, and the reception to the character in the middle east was very positive. Same thing for Street Fighter with Rashid, who quickly became a fan favorite.

His stage could be a desert, like in Fighters Megamix (which would satisfy those of us who loved Wolf's stage in VF3); it would fit the character perfectly.

When it comes to his fighting style, well, maybe Sega could find some obscure Arab hand-to-hand combat method (in that case, that would fit!). Other than that, nothing would stop him from practicing pretty much any fighting style - there's still plenty of them to choose from!

What would be your suggestions for Siba/Majido's glorious entrance in the VF roster? What fighting style would you like him to have?
