Do you talk to your car or treat it like it's alive?
no. my car is a machine, nothing more. I try not to become too attached to my car because it's probably going to be ripped away from me by some inattentive 16 year old girl one day.
no
but with the way I cuss it some might think I do
No but when the nova is in the garage, I give it a couple pats on the bumper or hood on my way out

German masterrace coming through.
Had this on my last car, loved it. Same shift pattern now, but not as good of a knob.

I pulled my turbo out, waiting for the replacement. The turbo light came on, damn thing wasn't putting out enough boost to keep the battery charged
ITT: Post somewhat affordable dream cars you hope to attain in the near future, bonus points if in your exact color of choice.
>early 70s 911

no
>>13875556
The Targa is relatively affordable, brah.
>>13875574
thats because the targa is shit
and your pic isnt one
id rather have an s13 hatch than a targa 911 and i dont even like weeb cars.
The S550 is on the right track to becoming the undisputed god machine. Once Ferd gets their head out of their asses and makes an AWD model Mustang, nothing will stand in it's way.
low quality bait

Gotcha boss
Hey Br/o/s, my faggot V6 Mustang is shitting coolant. Basically seems fucked in every direction. Takes a long time to warm up, overheats, loses coolant, and the heater doesn't work. Found a leak at the temperature sensor, could that be behind everything or is there probably something else screwed up too?
Oh yeah, thick grey sludge all over the thermostat housing there too. Oil looks fine so I don't think contamination is going both ways, or maybe it's something else entirely?
One more thing: coolant steam comes through the frickin cabin vents when it overheats.

They certainly know how to have fun, unlike some other races.
>>13875250
Shit, that actually looks like a lot of fun.
>tfw no 50-100 people who enjoy just spending time doing dumb shit
Everyone around here just sits at home playing vidya or on social media. I gotta move.
>>13875250
Most fun for them. I enjoy driving my car around like a mad cunt on the toge before hitting downtown LA for some fine dining, clubbing, or local breweries.
To be honest I'd like a little more redneck shenanigans in my life. Hipster shit gets old after a while.
>Dude makes a 4 valve DOHC LS7

Why don't you make one yourself? :^)

why has no one swapped a jet ski engine into a motorbike/small car/go kart before?
massive bore 2 strokes that are supercharged? yes please.
Powering a waterjet is a lot different than being directly connected to a transmission/wheels/etc
>>13874984
how so...
what makes this so hard, so stupid, that NOT ONE person has done it?
>>13875022
You could do it, for the 30 seconds until the engine failed.

Thoughts on this oil? My local dollar store has it for $1.80 a quart.
>>13874944
you probably don't want conventional oil in your car
id run it in my shit box

That's what it would be going in, a 2003 Intrepid
Just got jewed out of 300 dollars cause I needed brake pads. I just got my first car last month and I need to learn how to work on it. What essential tools should I have onhand so I can do basic mantainence and repairs?
Currently I have:
-floor jack
-ramps
-oil change supplies (drainpan and whatnot)
-socket and wrench set
-ODBII reader
-lots of duct tape
Where do I start /o/?
Screwdrivers (flathead, philips, torx)
Electrical drill (doesn't have to be big, will make wheel changes, numerous small screws/bolts and such so much less time consuming)
Spark plug wrench
Torque wrenches are nice to have
Air compressor
Magnetic bowls are a godsend when you've got a lot of small screws, nuts and bolts
Multimeter
Wire stripper/crimper
a good mechanic who knows about your vehicle and money .
short of oil changes and other simple stuff the Diy approach is very risky and generally not worth the cost IMHO
everyones forgetting hammer. its a must have tool in every mechanics tool box
