>>23889676>expecting a shot to tell you a simple fix when they can let it stew and become a major fix later
>>23890078My experience with these guys is they would rather give a heads up because they know I’ll have them do it while they’re in there. While I have some concerns with previous jobs, I’d recommend them to anyone on the spokane side with a vag product.
We’re a week and a half out with a possibility the start point has been fenced off. Can anyone confirm this? If so, let’s get moving on an alternate start point.
>>23890321that exact entrance you took a photo of has fences blocking it now about 10 yards in. the mcdonald's section of the parking lot is still open but that's it
>>23876076That’s a comfy drive desu. Stop at fort Casey is highly recommended.
I go to car meets and pretend to know a lot about mechanical shit about cars. I just recite a few facts and say them in different ways to avoid getting called out.
>>23890186I lie about my car on /o/ by saying it's much worse than it is.
>>23890207Compulsive lying is a mental disorder.It's not the dudes fault. He's not maliciously doing it.He can't help himself. He says dumb shit without wanting to.
>>23890186I call people poorfags constantly especially in bmw threads and I don't even own a car yet
I'm a mechanical engineer. I work for one of the big 3. Most of my time at work I spend arguing with boomers about dumb shit like glue.I deliberately spread misinformation that sounds plausible here, because I think it's funny.
>drive to work at 6am>completely dark outside>why is everybody honking at me?>realize I didn't turn any headlights on
post the most original thing you have done to your carSay something about it.I don't have much, but I put the Mirrors Edge logo on my miatas headlight a few years back and I haven't seen it anywhere else before.The old paint sheme has fallen way out of favour for me, but if I'd ever get an NB again, I'd make sure it was white and had the flying Mirrors Edge bird and it sure as hell is cooler than all the generic anime stickers I see around here.
I always liked the look of long shifters where it's near the wheel. Instead of being a normie faggot and buying a shifter that's just a long knob I machined an extension out of aluminum. It's nice.
>>23884461Is this bait?
original mods? Reupholstering your interior with premium fabrics/leather/vinyl/sheet metal can make a pretty big difference.
>>23888643I just want to shag the slag
>>23884314That looks pretty neat. The top pic reminds me a bit of an S15 Silvia.
Could someone check this VIN for me? Thanks.JT2MA70L9H0072062
>>23890158ok so I have checked it
>>23890434Thanks, nevermind, I have figured it out anyway
>>23890434Tell us the story anyways
I've been looking at getting a mid size truck, Colorado/Canyon seems to have the best performance and bang for the buck out there compared to others. Tell me why I should/shouldn't do it /o/>get a half tonfuck off, this is about mid sized trucksTacoma>anemic performance >toyota taxRanger>high strung turbo I4 guaranteed to cause problems>reliability issues, seems to still be working out kinksFrontier>just no, the 2022 looks promising but that's not right now
yeah nah yeah yeah nah mate
>>23882023>2.3 ecoboost>high strungLmao, you don’t know anything about engines
>>23883220U used to be able to find a broken down Ranger in the back of every yard
>>23882023Not reading the thread. I have a 2016 Canyon and it's delightful. Perfect size for haulan' shit without being retardedly huge. Comfy interior, leather seats, all the modern features you could want, no yota tax. Plus I have yet to see a single other Canyon on the road so you get to feel unique.9/10 recommendation from me
>>23888815my fucking DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK
How fucked am I. Any places for me to check out to build this thang
>>23889112>90s Benz had hands free, Bluetooth, and backup cameras No
>>23889085Fit chads can't keep getting away with this
>>23889085lmao sauce?
>>23887725LS is surprisingly compact.it would fit but it wouldn't be easy.
>>23887664My auto has 300k miles on it with no issues
What would you choose:>Super reliable car that's very hard and expensive to repair Or:>Super unreliable car but parts are cheap and can be changed over easily
>>23889624Yes, but one is well-crafted and pristine like a luxury car and also comes with a nice uniform you can kill the sub-human slavs in styleThe other has literal gaps in the armour plates that were probably cut to shape with an angle grinder and you don’t get to purge slavs in the name of the FurherAt least neither of them are british
>>23889679The whole point of the thread is one is expensive but reliable, and the other is unreliable but cheap. The Tiger was expensive, hard to maintain and unreliable. The worst combo. At least you didn't pick the Panther D. >British TanksSigh this meme. The early Churchill, the covenenter and crusader weren't that reliable. Yeah the Church mk1 was a dog. The Mk III was far better by the time they were rolling out later marks problems were resolved. The Covenenter and Crusader's issues were their American liberty engines which the filters were dog shit and not really ideal for the Desert. Rest of the tank was fine. The Matilda's were reliable units, the only issue with the Cromwell was because of the speed it could travel at and lack of track runners, track slap was the main issue. Since the Merit Brown transmissions and RR Meteor engines were immensely reliable. The Comet was reliable and the Centurion which arrived after was immensely good. Thanks to that L60 Leyland multifuel engine pushed by NATO the Chieftain was dogged by issues because of the refusal to ditch that completely wank engine. Rest of the Chieftain was fantastic, just that 1960's Leyland piece of shit ruined it.
>>23886622Just buy a Toyota
>>23889679>T-34-85>gaps in the platesNigga that shit was only on the very early modelsBy the time the 85s were rolling out, they largely had those quality control problems fixed, especially because they weren’t shitting them out as fast as they humanly could to bog down Germany by that time
>>23886622Super reliableThat is, or should be, the first priority of any vehicle. It should be more reliable than the bus schedule. If it's unreliable might as well take the bus.
Alright 3s chads, I recently made a thread about my white 3000gt sl with a transmission issue.Upon further research and testing here's what I have to update you guys with.When I turn on the car, the transmission shifts between all gears, reverse, neutral, D, 2, and L. Overdrive activates too. The tachometer isn't working, it doesn't show RPMS. The car runs well for only like three minutes at a time and sometimes it randomly engages the transmission and runs.But then after a while it loses all gears including reverse. This has been consistent every single time I start it up. It activates all the gears and then suddenly loses all of them. The car was running perfectly at start up and it felt fast and smooth, shifted smooth and then slowed down when the transmission stopped putting power out to the wheels. It got more responsive when I filled it with Transmission fluid, and yes it does stink.It is automatic.It has made some weird loose disc noises. I will most likely get the transmission performance rebuilt anyways but for right now I want to know what the potential issue is.
>>23890376Thanks anon.Anyways, yeah I don't really care about the O2 sensors, they're unimportant.I just want to know whether I could maintenance this issue myself by draining the transmission fluid, and putting in better transmission fluid.If that's the case I'll do it soon but If not I won't waste my time and I'll just go ahead and take it to a rebuild shop and ask them to bulletproof my transmission.
>>23890389I am just going to say there is very little chance that a transmission fluid change will fix it, and if it does it won't be for long.
>>23890389My bet is something is just worn to pieces, it's possible your fluid could be degraded or there is a blockage of shavings but I doubt it.
>>23890348Further information, these transmissions were made by getrag, according to some posts in the 3s forums, these trannies were purposely fucked from the start to allow getrag to get more sales on transmissions and mitsubishi themselves omitted information on the transmissions. Apparently better rated transmission fluid allows the transmission to last significantly longer and work better. It's not that these Transmissions suck. It's that they were purposely stabbed in the back from the very beginning.
>>23890393>>23890396Yeah my thoughts exactly.I want to just be able to drive it far enough to get it to proper maintenance areas such as tire shops and a transmission shop.But I've also heard these transmissions are unknown to work on, so I don't even know if that'll cut it.Should I just take it to any transmission shop or should I bite the bullet and sell the car?Or option CGet a proper transmission shop to work it for me.
How come Japan gets the best stuff?
>>23888617That's cause they got gorilla grip from using dildos too much basically they have swole pussy muscles.
>>23888966christ that's funny, which city?
>>23888966Wash your shoes bro
>>23888985Bullshit even teenage japanese girls have sex drive worse than my fucking cat, maybe,10-20% of them masturabte weekly it is even similar with older women but those if have sexual needs tend to get into cheating
Good question
>post subarus>talk about subarus>Cut off all your friends and family to spend more time with your subaru>Spend all your money on your Subaru>Anyone who tells you otherwise is a suppressive person
>>23889937My old wrx had a good sized slap in the drivers quarter, I wish I had done something about it, but got rid of the car before I could, I did put a new door on though and that made it look a bit better. Imo you cant put a sti wing on a wrx, and I kinda want to put a wingless trunk onto my sti
my fuel pressure is jumping between 50 and 1800 on cold startanybody have any experience with fuel additives and e85? I think my hpfp is gumming up lol
>sg9 xt forester>2 inch lift, trailing arms, 16 inch rims on their way>just need an sti 6 speed with an open r160 to put an auto locker in>suddenly no 6 speeds on the market in australia
>>23890049Idk for sure, I never played with the FA to hard, but I could see when switching to E85 you'd have issues with the HPFP, the gasoline lubricates it as well as being pumped, with E you loose that lube. I might pull it down and see how it died.
>>23889968That was one of my other options, I don't really want to go with the wingless trunk though because I actually track the car and idk how that would play in. Duckbill seems like the best option.

>>23886956It's a turbocharged, fuel injected boxer 6 with an aluminum block btw
>front of the car wants to take flight>front tires load 0%>both get deflatedI've done it three times just to be sure, and they blow up when load hits 0%, not when the nose of the car goes back down and they hit the asphalt. Any idea what's causing this?

those of you who daily a heavily modified car, what is it like? i see lowered coupes with big exhausts and semi-stripped interiors and think 'that car looks like a pain in the ass, and super uncomfortable to just drive on public roads', but is there something i'm missing?
retard
>>23890042You're not wrong. My car is set up for dirt, so I don't have to deal with the problems of no ride height and hard suspension, but it's still pretty retarded. It's fully gutted, so conversation means shouting unless it's raining or I'm sending it, in which case communication is only possible through punches and hand signals. The ashtray in the dashboard has been removed and the place it used to reside now holds a box of earplugs, which are necessary for longer drives if you don't want your ears to tickle afterwards. Been meaning to get a muffler that actually muffles a bit for a while now, but since my current setup is fine aside from causing hearing damage, the odds of that actually happening instead of more gofast bullshit are... slim. The cam chop shakes the whole car. No AC. No radio. No cruise, no power windows, no power seats, no power door locks. It's a completely retarded thing to do and only those with the specific flavor of retardation to be fine with all that just to for racecar feels and racecar shenanigans would find it at all enjoyable. Only one normalfag has ever agreed to ride in this car more than once, the rest all swore to never get in it again.
>>23890042No you're not missing anything. Modding in general reduces drivability and most roads in the US are utter dog shit. At 20 years old, that was fun. In my early 40's, I'd rather buy an M5 and stage 1 or 2 the ECU and be done with it. Take that as you will.I had a 1997 Integra Type-R that I DD. I used to be in close contact with Geoff at Full Race in the early 2000's who offered to sell me a stage 3, non-AC turbo kit for a super price, so I decided to take the plunge. Ended up going full tilt on the build, with pulling the engine, had the block bored to a 2.0L, closed deck, sleeved, forged internals, head work...everything. T3/T67 turbo with the biggest intercooler I could fit without ruining the stock front bumper and lip or cutting into the radiator support. I gutted the whole rear interior to accommodate a full welded cage. For a time I even used Takata harnesses but for DD those really are not practical at all, but mmmm sure look nice laying over red Recaro seats. The entire suspension was redone with more aggressive bushings and Buddy Club fully adjustable coilovers. The car was an absolute gas hog, I had to wait forever for the engine to warm up everywhere I went, had to run a turbo timer to run the engine cool after getting somewhere, the ride with the coilovers was harsh.The car pulled like a freight train and made way too much power for its own good, was fun to build but ultimately a huge waste of money and I sort of bastardized a perfectly functional Type R depending on your opinion. A few years later I ended up modifying the cage to get the full rear interior back in the car, sold the gram lights and bought 16" JDM Type-R wheels, would only install the harnesses for track/auto-x days, sold the entire turbo system and parts and put a near full list of Spoon parts in the engine to go full NA to get the drivability back.
>>23890203I'd kill or die for roads like in the US.>t. pajeetwhat you did was great but why would you not buy a shitbox to daily drive? More economical and you can actually enjoy your fast car
>>23890203>2.0llmfao, garbage.
What does 4chan think about E30 BMWs? Do you guys think they suck or are fun?
>>23888473>Early model taillightsonly on E30 M3s yes. but non M3s? no lol. ugly ass diving boards.
>>23888473What’s up with that e28. Wheels look great, 16s? Bumpers too. Is it a 535?
>>23888528I disagree, the late tail lights are too tall. The early models have the same amount of body above and below them, they look much more proportional.I swapped my front end to plastic but I am going to leave the rear (and paint the shrouds) because it's a very handy footrest when sitting on the trunk.>>2388854016s yeah. Bumpers are twisted, rusty, and missing the trim but I got them for $300. It's a 528e with an 885 head
>>23888249Pretty common engine swap.>>23888528>>23888528I prefer late model all red European or the smoked M Tech tail lights.
>>23883316I prefer e32's
