GM experts... A coworker is replacing his camshaft sensor and apparently needs to go through something called a CASE relearn procedure. WTF is this stupid ****? It sounds absolutely asinine. Is there an easier alternative or option other than having this special scantool?

there is no alternative. the ecu needs to learn the waveform of the sensor. it's pretty cool they do it, as it gives them better control over timing events and has a robustness to the signal that is pretty hard to get otherwise with production tolerances. they run fine without the procedure if the codes are shut off.. but it's an extra bit of precision to the signal and event timing. maybe even literally.
GM make great engines and good ecus. and the rest is pretty substandard. |

glad i just piece together my cars, cause it sucks to be shopping for one.
GM and honda really really know engines. honda know the rest, but make all fwd cars that are pretty meh, with decent interiors that will just keep on forever. and GM is pretty much the opposite. but overall pretty meh cars. even my love of the VQ is kinda tempered by the ford and hyundai V6es. its not liek the Z33/34 is a super awesome car. it's kinda meh as a complete package, and in no way efficient. anyway. the cars i'm least turned off about right now are BRZ, honda fit(in purple with my white TEs) and some several mercedes models i know will leave me stranded somewhere, sometime, and with a huge bill. i was onto the CTS-V kick for a while but couldn't get past the interior. it's ok. but i just don't like trucks. which puts the mustang out of the picture as well. interior sucks something fierce. rest is pretty decent! i dunno. v6 challenger with a turbo? now if we could get UTEs here or aussie v8 wagons.. VXR here i come! |

Funny, I don't like trucks either but the V and the Mustang are top of my list for daily fun and comfort. I guess the stuff I don't like about trucks is beyond the crossover with these things. The torque without the revving and the noise and the waiting is just nice. I don't mind the look of the V interior as much as the dry-brittleness of the plastics. Everything breaks when you take it apart. My gauge cluster has never even been breathed on hard and it has a crack up the middle of the face 'glass' The appearance is really the least of the problems. I think they addressed this stuff in the 2nd and 3rd gen, when they raised the price 50% or so lol.

Interiors are really the biggest advance in road cars in the past decade.

boss saw the new wrx, said it is a widened fender, more aggressive looking 2013 impreza. Nothing at all like the concept.

sounds neat. concept was a bit much.
still can't get over how huge the 2012 imprezas are inside. nothing like the GC/GD. at all. and then jimmys ridgeline is even bigger. jesse that sucks. i'm just more talkin about the way the thing feels inside. the wall of dashboard, door hadles and huge controls etc. for a reference, i really like the design and simplicity of the s14 and nsx interiors, and the W124. 2001~2005 audi interiors are also pretty well designed to me as well. all those interiors are simple, pretty elegant without a billion buttons, and smallish controls..and made with ****ty ****ty plastics. i even like my early GC dash for it's simplicity. late GC dash sucks bad in design, subaru went back to something pretty similar to early GC for the GRs. the GD dash is pretty nice and ok-ish materials. i do like the GD interiors.. mostly the STi cluster, but GD interior is so easy to damage and rattles. oh yeah even brz has the wall effect. it's just.. i dunno. don't want an entertainment center, and i hate the "pilot" FD/supra/vette interiors. and billions of buttons and crap, i don't even use the fukkin things. cant even remember the last time i turned on the stereo in a car. and what was wrong with the three (seashells) dials for hvac? wtf is with all this pushbutton cyclic control going around? you have to friggin look at the LCD? lemme just turn the dial three clicks. from feet to defrost. done. AND DON'T TURN ON THE A/C FOR ME! i dunno. after jimmy and barbs cars, even my crv and civic.. my GC feels so snug inside. anyway, i'm a damned relic, stuck in the 90s. |

See I like the newer Hvac controls. Set to 'auto' set temp. Don't adjust. Even my defrosters are simple push buttons. No knobs, no clicks. Set temp like the living room. If you need defrost, turn it on. Done with defrost? Turn it off. No need to mess with what is easily done with a $3 control system.
Do you pine for manual windows and cable operated vents? I f'in don't. Could do without the memory-power-seat, but I'm not about to take it out.. Also, with good heated seats and a sunroof, who needs Hvac most of the time anyway? |

My Mazda had micromanaged HVAC.
Like if you wanted it 70 degrees and it was 60, you could set it to auto and turn it to 70, auto meant feet + windshield unless you override manually. Same for air conditioning, if it was 70 and you set it to 60, auto meant you'd get it in the face, and not at the feet/windshield. Also, if you had it on windshield defrost mode (even split feet + windshield), you're locked out from recirc. Not even an option, no matter how many times you press it. So when you're trying to concentrate on the road, see a big smelly pig truck ahead, and you're mashing the recirc button, haha, ****you, no recirc for you. I get the idea, I don't like my HVAC managed though. |

My boss got a 2012 Infinity G37x and when he first got it, I noticed a button with trees and wavy lines, tghought it was some sort of traction control. Turns out it is just some "forest mode" that is supposed to put a gentle breeze on you as though you are in a forest?

But I agree about the LCD controls or any controls that you have to take your eyes off the road to adjust. Quote:
Oh, and the plastic they used in this car is probably the worst I have ever seen and I've seen some real pieces of ****. Like GM cars from the 90s... Last edited by MRF582; 05-17-2013 at 03:20 PM. |

Not sure what auto climate you're talking about but this is actually the best feature about the auto HVACs I've experienced. They know the engine is cold so it doesn't blast (cold ass) air till it's warmed up. Though it's really difficult to get people to 'trust the HVAC'... I'll see people take it off auto and blast the 'heater' hoping to get heat faster. I'm like 'dude, the engine is stone cold'...
