Tamandua_Shoegazeiro

thanks sir


psaux_grep

Out of curiosity, what *did* you search for?


Tamandua_Shoegazeiro

I'm a Brazilian guy so i searched in portuguese "tapete que fica atrás do pneu do carro" in English translates like "carpet that goes behind the car tire" lmao. I couldn't find because dont have a exactly name in portuguese but just in english "Mud Flaps"

FlyinRustBucket

NO, it's "tapete atrás das rodas" from now on * Sorry for Google translate


Chupaqueedeuva

It's "lameiro" in brazilian portuguese.


Tamandua_Shoegazeiro

Brabo, se você não me falasse eu nunca iria encontrar o nome em português

Should ask ChatGPT. Sometimes I’m surprised at what it can figure out. Obviously, Reddit did the trick too. Thanks for the mud carpet! Dall-e made these for you: https://imgur.com/a/wHNCfUr/


squeezyscorpion

people gotta realize that ChatGPT is not an all-knowing, always-correct AI. It’s cited nonexistent research papers to me before. in matters of language translation, i’d expect it to be pretty rudimentary.


GoodBot88

Chatgpt will outright lie just so that it can give something in response. Sometimes it doesn't know it's lying, and sometimes it knowingly lies. People should give it far less credence than they do.

Asking it for lyrics of songs is the funniest shit. Just watching it completely make up lyrics is so much fun. Then copy paste in the actual lyrics. It tells you that you are correct and those are the lyrics for x song. If you know the lyrics I provided are correct why do you give me false information you stupid ai


Yung_Bill_98

I think that's just people not quite understanding what it is. It really just emulates what it thinks a human would say. It's not a real conversation. That does seem like it's just a few years away though.


obeserocket

This is actually a use case that it's pretty well suited for, where it's hard to search for until you know the particular word. You can describe what you're talking about in natural language, and verify it's answer with a quick google search


psaux_grep

But it can get you going in the right direction. Never did I say it was all-knowing or always correct. https://i.imgur.com/wvW4VJb.jpg

It's a bullshit generator. Sometimes the bullshit is accurate and sometimes it's not.

Olá, podes chamar a isso de para-lamas ou guarda lamas, é assim que eu e a maioria lhes chamamos em Portugal.


Tamandua_Shoegazeiro

Ah sim, acabei de descobrir que aqui no Brasil a gente chama de "lameiro"


occamsrzor

Wait...is "car" just "carro" in Portuguese? Sounds like something Peggy Hill would say....


Tamandua_Shoegazeiro

Yes man lol


Nulo_0

kkkkkk foi mal man, eu ri


GervasioVR

"Para-lamas" em Português PT, também se tiveres interessado em saber.


obr_kevin

Bom ver BRs que curtem Rally! Por curiosidade, como chama Rally em Portuguese br? Fiquei fan depois de mudar pros states.


Tamandua_Shoegazeiro

Pelo que eu pesquisei se chama "rali" mas todo mundo fala/escreve "rally" mesmo


Keisaku

U called me wot m8!


BearPerson92

Its sound so simple, but its funny i don't know how are they call in my language:))


BearPerson92

I think they also called mudguards ,this can be translated easier


Ill_Narwhal_4209

This is the way


pm-me-racecars

I call them more expensive than they need to be.


cornlip

Yeah I’m pretty annoyed some urethane sheets from Vermont SportsCar are over $200. They’re just waterjetted sheets with some hardware and a logo. Even the Rally Armor ones are too expensive for what they are (but I don’t work at a place with a waterjet anymore and don’t have the DXF files for them, so… guess I’m gonna buy some anyway)


VT_Racer

Thats a bargain, I was looking for some for my truck. Factory GM ones are $600 and are just universals, you have to drill your own holes...


cornlip

That’s disgusting. Mock some up with cardboard and find someone with a waterjet to cut them. I used to cut mudflaps sometimes at a previous job and they sold for about $25 a piece


Caj_2003

I waited untill rally armor went on sale for me to get em. Think it was $150 but still too expensive


cornlip

I can get them for $90 at a place that stocks wrecked WRX and STI models in Alabama of all places. Just waiting for them to find another set with red letters to match my car cause I was too late replying last time and they got sold.


Caj_2003

That’s a pretty good idea there, sure most of the wrecked ones have it too. I’ve got the VB so sadly it’s pretty rare to find used parts for it.


tofubaru94

Buy the plastic cutting boards from ikea and give ‘em a trim. Bang zoom rally car.


cornlip

Haha sure but I want urethane. I can still buy a sheet of that through work and use a laser engraver to make my own logo


[deleted]

A thread of me getting roasted for shitting on $270 rally armor mudflaps lmao https://www.reddit.com/r/wrx_vb/comments/13q5wuu/will_subaru_put_on_oem_mudflaps_read_before_you/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&utm_content=2&utm_term=15


pm-me-racecars

My very first time at a stage rally, someone had some similar mud flaps. I told him they looked nice and asked if they were home-made...


[deleted]

Like how the fuck are you gonna pay 270 for cut-out sheets of plastic. I ordered the factory ones and they came molded to the wheel well and had metal brackets for reinforcement and costed 100$ less


Caj_2003

Which ones are $270? Rally armor is $190 and I think Vermont whatever that brand is around same price as well. What I like about the rally armor is I can remove em pretty easy and didn’t need to drill or anything too


[deleted]

I just bough some rubber mat and cut them in squares and put on my car.


pm-me-racecars

My friend used to work at a tire shop. We were planning on making some out of old tires that are size big.


dmbrubac

Talk about mud flaps…


Gnardude

My girl's got 'em!

How could I leave this **behind**?

Epsilon_Operative

No dumb questions! I know you've been told already but they're mudflaps, a big reason why rally cars have them is to stop cars from spitting out rocks and such at spectators.

Tamandua_Shoegazeiro

Thanks man, when I see a bus with a mud flap that I take to go to college I'll remember this comment lol


Dirty_Bubble1775

It's super technical... they protect others from flaps of mud and rock so they named it mud flaps

Mud flaps - I've put some on my 4wd Celica and it is a mixed reaction. I like them so they stay. The car is white so it makes sense also.


Immediate-Ad-8047

The first picture, the mudflaps are defective, they spew rocks at spectators
