Pic related but black is black. Shop says a rod was thrown. $9200 to replace engine. They offered to buy it for 1000$. Am I being ripped off
>>25922819> The new remanufactured engine and oil pan is 9200$9200 for a 5.3. Find a new shop. The shop owner must have just bought a boat or owes the mafia money.
>>25922819I don’t even know how this is a question.You can get an engine and swap it for $800 including a machine shop checking out the engine. Spending $9,200 is beyond retarded, hell you can put a fucking supercharged V8 into the truck for that cost.
>>25922819what the fuck is it a built engine making 700 na hp? thats literally the only possible logical reason just the engine is 9 grand. that shop is kiked to oblivion, run far and run now.
>>25922037Truckfags can't understand that you don't daily drive a fucking truck
>>25920680I unironically have both nearby.
My neighbor is selling his 1998 Thunderbird Super Coupe for $10,000. It has a lot of custom suspension work and is definitely unique. Problem is it did have some flood damage and sat for a few years. He was telling me this car is just waking up at 135mph and can top out super fast on the highway, is that true?
>>25923268You engineer shade from trees?
>>25923419yes
>>25923912How much do they pay you for that?
>>25923933money
>>25923933He obviously makes mad stacks of cabbage.
You will never be a real SUV. You have no body-on-frame, you have no AWD, you have no Off-Road Capabilities. You are a hatchback twisted by greedy companies and the ignorance of the general public into a crude mockery of SUVs perfection.All the “validation” you get is naive. Behind your back people mock you. Your creators arent proud of you, your “fans” see you as nothing else than a tool for going from A to B.Real car fans are utterly repulsed by you. A century of car evolution have allowed said guys to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even Crossovers that are “good enough” look uncanny and ugly. Your unibody structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a woman to buy you, she’ll die in a rollover once your lifted compact car suspension causes you to flip.You will never be good. You wrench out a fake impression of a real SUV so foolish people think its going to be ok.The emergency services will find you, relieved that they no longer have to deal with another inefficient, bloated vehicle. They’ll send you to a scrapyard with your chassis code, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a crossover is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy are remains that are unmistakably from a hatchback.This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
>>25921354that VW is also a lifted golf
look i just want to comoot and im also poor
>>25917125>You will never be a real SUV. You have no body-on-frame, you have no AWD, you have no Off-Road Capabilitieswe know faggot. people buy it because it's a fucking Corolla with some decent ground clearance + AWD + hatchback, and still cheaper than a RAV4. not everyone fucking needs a body on frame SUV that gets 15mpg and a third row for two fucking kids. not everyone is looking for, dare I say it and get called a redditor, a penis compensation vehicle
>>25924670Get a estate corolla and lift itUnless you're a w*man
>>25917125The Corolla Cross would unironically be a much better car if it was lowered and called a wagon instead.
But why?
>>25924611looks like an angry birds pig
>>25924611Congratulations, you made a first generation škoda octavia
It's not just the grille, changing it won't fix the car. The entire body screams chink.
>>25922948Scotty warned you about money pits bro.

Attainable dream car thread.Post you'res
Sweaty that is $130k and you don't have that

>mom I posted it again
>>25925045Sweaty you need a good credit score for that
dream: attained
How do I pick a carburetor for my engine build. I calculated my displacement as 285ci and my redline is 5700 RPM. By all calculations, it comes out to 470 CFM, so a 450 would be right. I could be wrong of course. I know the problems associated with using too big of a carburetor, basically it runs lean because the engine can't pull enough of a vacuum to reliably pull fuel. Talking to Holley and they are pushing a 600 CFM carb. Is a 600 Carb fine and I'm retarded or what?
Don't get a 600cfm carb if other calcs say a 450 would be right. It's better to run less carb then too much carb.Same with the exhaust size. Don't do 3in primaries into a 6in collector when you only make 300hp.
>>25923579I'm making a little over 200, so yea, I'm only running 2 inch primaries.
I am well aware a TBI EFI system would resolve this.
>>25923579Ya fuck the "just get a 600 bro" bullshit.You didn't say manual or automatic trans.https://www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/carburetors/street/parts/0-1848-2That's a 465 cfm vacuum secondaries 4 barrel that was used on 60's/70's muscle cars.I personally think the price is a little steep but I doubt you're going to find a rebuildable one in the junkyard but boomer hoarders like myself are not going to pull one out of my collection to sell you.There was also a 475 cfm, 485 cfm and a 500 cfm but holley has narrowed their producy line since thwure no longer a oem supplier and it looks like those are no longer offered.
>>25925046Just quick rundown since that probably looks different to toy that the 4150 model 600 cfm.Float bowls are side hung or center hung.Center (600 cfm model 4150 style) is better for drag strip because of fuel sloshing from front to rear.Side (model 4160) is better for turns.4160 also has an interconnect tube from front to rear bowl. The 4150 has to run pic related (not included because different racers run different setups).
When will car prices finally go back down to normal?

>>25923970I need to make enough money so I can get a nice quiet place to work

Real /o/ lifestyle reporting in today.Yeah I know. You 19 year olds wake up at 11am and post ur stupid digital trading card cars you don’t own while u heat up a hot pocket.Meanwhile real bros out here like me. Yes it’s 18 speeds with no synchronization. Yes it’s 80 feet long. No you can’t fucking do it or else you would be. Tell me more about how heel toe shifted ur civic u fucking nobody lmao.
>>25922745Of course. the based Midwest carb pie of choice
Back up on it. Where are my MO boyzz @@@@@@
ayo chief, european trucker here, would you mind telling me what the point of the extended frame on yer rig is?You got a clean rig my dude, simple and fine. no fancy bs.:)
>>25924982It’s a flex. It means I didn’t buy the truck off the dealer lot.Has to be ordered custom this long. Or done custom after.And that’s pretty much it bud.

Are the f8q and f9q diesels any good? i want to put a diesel in my renault 5 but i want it to be at least as reliable as the cleon fonte eternal combustion engine
>>25924521Supposedly pretty solid, as long as you get one of the newer ones and don't let it overheat ever.
>>25855617>it's behind me isn't it?
But seriously, affordable luxury on the lucky island
>>25924785>1.3LWTF????
>>25924828they sold it with a terrible NA 1.3 and the regular turbo 660cc for some reason.
The original Mini and kei cars are superior to these French turds.

Who was in the wrong?
in my state its illegal to cycle on the sidewalk, so the cyclist.
>>25924858also he must be going the direction of traffic.
>>25924717Considering the car was making a valid left turn while the cyclist violatd a half dozen or more traffic/misc laws and caused the collision? Gonna have to go with cyclist in the wrong here.
>>25924717>cyclist>on sidewalk>going the wrong directioni mean, it's pretty cut and dry.
>>25924720do you have spatial reasoning?

License to Kill. It featured picrel, a custom extended hood W900 that proved so popular Kenworth eventually started mass producing them as the W900L.

>>25914989The Wages of Fear
>>25914989>/tv/ is retardedThat's a given.
I don’t see much talk about them on /o/, so I figure I’d make this thread. I currently own a 2014 Jetta SE, which has only had 2 main issues, which were the camshaft sensor and heater core. Other than that, the car has been relatively trouble free.
>>25921970I thought it was still the ea888, just with different tuning. either way, yes, the GLI is behind in terms of development and hp, though I thought they brought back physical controls for the refresh, putting it ahead of the GTI for functionality imo
>>25920886They are pieces of shit and break down all the time, as evidenced by you already having two significant problems with your 2014 model. For reference my wife has a Camry and I have a 4runner, both older than your jetta, and neither has had any issues at all. Both have over 120k miles.
>>25922602I have a 2012 that's at 200k (km) that's only had an o2 sensor come loose which needed to be retorqued. we can all play the anecdotal game
I bought an 04 6spd AWD VR6 Bora for $1000 with 370000km on it. Funnest car I have ever owned.
>>25921284Every Jetta is just a sedan golf, same chassis and interchangeable parts
This is the TWR XJR-14 chassis #691. It is the second of eventually 4 sister chassis built in partnership with Astec and Tom Walkinshaw Racing in 1991 on behalf of Jaguar to contest in the FIA World Sporscar Championship series for Group C prototype racecars. The 1991 season brought new (and largely unpopular) changes to the technical regulations. Chief among these is the rule that mandated 3.5L naturally-aspirated engines. This meant that TWR could no longer use successful engines from Jaguar and Rover so they had to reached out through Jaguar's parent company of Ford who also happened to own a large stake at famed engine constructors Cosworth to source a powerplant for their '91 contender. Cosworth was prolific customer engine supplier in Formula 1 and so they offered up a 3rd-gen HB 3500 V8 detuned for endurance sportscar racing. For its first race, it would attend Rd 1 of the WSC at Suzuka with its sister car #591. #691 would wear the number 4 and grid in 6th with the driver combo of Martin Brundle and Teo Fabi, but #591 would take pole. While the cars proved to fast, #691 would DNF after only 4 laps in its maiden race.
Rienhold Joest would retain the car to this day. At some point he had the car restored to its WSC-95 specification with the livery it had for the 1996 LM24 races. He occasionally wheels it out for special occasions. The End.
>>25924312Very cool thread op. Guess I can say Porsches are just rebadged Jaguars now.
Yeah shut the fuck up nobody asked
>>25924739Agreed anon
>no mention of the Mazda MXR-01
