u/NoteDesperate3540

I learned to drive manual about a month ago with some great help, I even drove with a friend today (mainly flat roads - residential streets) and they thought I was a pro lol they didn’t know I just learned - but I’m very familiar with Sydney roads and our city unfortunately is built on sandstone ridges and valleys, (if anyone is familiar with Sylvania / Blakehurst area) you’ll know what I’m talking about and I detour and use long routes just for simple drives. I practiced some hill stuff with handbrake, all went well but I get slight roll back I’m driving a 1991 Honda CRX but man, I want to get over this fear, if someone is behind my, I full panic 🫨

I’m currently running the stock radiator on my 1991 ED9 with a B18C engine swap but I’m keen to upgrade to a better radiator, something smaller and better performing too. Any suggestions?

I love her music, I’m a 30 year old Australian male, I wish I knew what she was singing about. Was she popular, was she liked in China? What was she like as a person, did she have a hard/good life? I feel something vulnerable and sadness in her music for some reason but I could be wrong, almost like she was hoping for something in life that she maybe didn’t get, whether that’s fulfilment, safety or love.

I have a 2023 Type R Civic and never had any issues, all servicing done according to schedule. I did do some hard mountainous driving on a cruise with a friend but nothing insane, no redlining. Was going for about an hour. We parked and hung out for around 30 mins and on the way down about 30 seconds into my drive. Every single dash light you can think of came on, everything. Then followed by burning oil smell I immediately pulled over and opened the hood and noticed a lot of heat assuming oil has sprayed into the engine. I needed to get down this mountain and desperately drove for another 5km at safe speed and low revs to try to get home but the engine started making a more mechanical sound, subtle but I knew I should stop. Oil was pretty much empty as it in fact had leaked as suspected. Everything else was fine no smoke or anything damage. This all just happened but I’m so confused what may have triggered this? How is this car not designed to take a hit. Any suggestions? I won’t get a report or updates for a few days but I’m very worried Honda will blame me and not cover me.
