I love the ones that will drive around normally and then park the car and let the "turbo cool down" for like 5-10 mins idling lmao

Personally, I get in, start the car, admire the RPD turning on, connect my iPhone to the USB cable, turn on pandora, put on seatbelt and drive..... So what about 1-3 mins warm up

 

When I get my turbo car ill be cooling the turbo like that too lol

 

Idk what it actually is but definately not that lol

 

thats not a ghost its a trunk monkey. and yea i know the sound u speak of but its not what this kids talking about

 

Turn the key. Let it chime and do its thing. Start it. Let it warm up till the rpms drop to 800 or whatever below 1k

 

i thought that the sounds from the rear of the car was the evap system or something? your talking about when it sounds like someones knocking on the trunk right?

as for that marble dropping sound, my car does it when i turn it off accompanied by a high pitch electronic whine, then the "marble" drops twice :P

 

I've never heard the trunk knocking lol other than when I press the trunk button

 

I get the knocking sound every now and then. normally right after i turn it off it will do 3 quick little knocks. My dad walked by the car one time when it did that and he was like wtf! lol

For letting it warm up the g5 is parked in a garage and I dont drive it in the winter. If i take it out and its cooler that day Ill start it let it warm up for a few min then ill go but take it easy till there is no more smoke coming from the exhaust.

 

I haz turbo timer for this! mo fos be like, BRO, your cars still running. haha yea i kno man, ill be right back. And i chill in the store for a while till it shuts off and watch ppl look at it when it turns its self off. they look closer like, its a manual, cant have remote start. WTF. i laugh at sooo many dumb ***** around here

 

a turbo timer is only really necessary if you beat on your car then immediately turn it off. If you do some normal driving for say a minute before hand or so, it will be just fine. Otherwise, you're just wasting gas, the car isn't gonna get much cooler while idling.

In all reality, as long as you leave the car sit for 15-30 seconds to get some oil flowing through it, it should be fine to drive normally. Just don't beat on it until it's fully warmed up.

 

Start then drive right away unless its cold then i get my cammed sounding misfires and then wait till that goes away.

I get on it once its around 160

 

Hahahaha I remember the first car I saw with one, it was an 07 wrx....I was like.. defuqqqq....lol it was set for one or 2 mins, but he did drive pretty hard.... I could also smell remains of race fuel ; u can have remote start on a stick shift, don't really know what they do but I had it in a civic SI =)

 

When I cold start my t/c I have to wait for my BOV to "Warm-up" otherwise it will Blow Off Air more than normal. Its very weird, hard to explain, lol

 

The trunk monkeys!!!! haha will never forget the first time I heard that. Red light and on the wrong side of town haha, I was freaking out! though someone was knocking on my trunk like telling me to get out of the car haha.

 

QFT

 

I like to let it Idle for a few mins. After im done driving. just to be sure. nothing wrong with taking extra pro-cautions.

 

The first time I heard that "rat-tat-tat" sound in the back of my car, I got ready to get out with my ice scraper brush and beat someone with it for f*ckin' with my car. It literally sounds like someone is thumping their fingers on the trunk lid. As for warming up the car, I just start it and go. With today's computer controlled engines, there's no need to waste fuel warming it up before you go. I get irritated with people that live around me that have loud exhausts. They just sit there idling and revving their engines, waking me up before the sun rises. In the winter, I warm my car up enough to defrost my windows and get any snow off. Once my windows are clear, I'm gone. I'm actually considering purchasing an electric heater to help clear my windshield so I'm not wasting fuel waiting for my engine to warm up.

 

Guys.... I really haven't heard these trunk monkeys............ Could it be the jack or spare tire moving? Lol

 

no because i dont have a jack or a spare and i hear it every once in a while

 

once rpms settle to normal idle, between 100-20*. Of course coolant down here in summer can sit at 110 during the day.

 

i dont have one :P

 

It's so hot here that the car doesn't even do the cat warm up cycle.


(that's a joke but it is really hot)

 

no, its true hahaha.

 

I started the car and coolant was already at 95 F by 1o am....... And it was in the garage... I still let it warm up a lil more though lol

 

Exactly. 50% throttle no boost until 140. Even then, just wait until 160* if you can.

I'm on E85 so I kinda gotta let the car warm up to about 100* or it just falls on its face. LOL
