For 2001, you gotta admit, the Civic concept was a pretty nice looking car.

There is water leaking into my boat every time I take it out on water. It pools throughout the underside of boat and into the engine bay. I changed drain plug but it still happens. I'm about to post a second pic of the two live well holes next to drain plug and I want to know if water can come through these holes into the boat. Thanks

Here's the two holes. Could water be coming into these holes and into boat?

Bilge pump working at full capacity?
and considering the wear, i can say water has been coming through there..
>>15176636
I'm not sure if bilge pump works but water shouldn't be getting in there in the first place right?

Well, more of my father,

I'm tired of having to worry about whats gonna fail next on my shitbox, so pic related, im considering to buy the golf tsi. Any opinion on it? Is it the best car I can buy for 20k considering fun, practicality and reliability wise?
Buy something lightly used (<5 years old) rather than a new car. Just because you're not getting a 30 year old shitbox doesn't mean you need to pass up way better alternatives that are a few years old and won't rape you with depreciation.
Consider the volvo v40 much more stabil, you get the feeling thats the car is solid. And it is
>>15176461
The Golf is probably the least fun car you can get, but for a AtoB daily driver it's perfect

I'm planning on buying a Volvo 940 estate soon and I was just wondering which wheels from other cars are compatible with them.
I've been looking and not really found much for them, does anyone know of any 3rd party wheels that will fit the car?

Shut up cunt
So I've been driving my automatic shitbox in manual shift mode for a few days now non-stop, will this help ease my mindset in manual mode when I eventually learn to drive stick? I realize it's going to feel very different when a clutch pedal is involved, but I'm at least getting used to upshifting and downshifting at the appropriate times.
[spoiler]even tried rev matching just for shits and giggles even tho it's not even close, I just hit the gas really hard in gear before downshifting and it sort of works[/spoiler]
Driving manual is easy and those manual drive modes are shit it's okay senpai
>>15176137
>even tried rev matching just for shits and giggles even tho it's not even close, I just hit the gas really hard in gear before downshifting and it sort of works
Not how it works, rev matching would be done with the clutch pressed in BETWEEN gear shifts [think of that like being in neutral], not in gear.
Either way what you're doing will teach you about powerbands, appropriate revs and such but the difficulty in driving manual is 90% clutch. Those fake manual mods...

I know that, that's why I had it's not even close.
If you've been wrenching your vehicle on your own, chances are you have fucked something up. Time to share.
My worst fuckup (safety wise) was not riveting my motorcycle chain correctly (didn't flatten the heads). It worked fine for a month or so, then the chain snapped while I was riding. Thank god it didn't lock the rear wheel and I was okay, could've gone lot worse.
Also recently while troubleshooting starting problems I had my alternator out in the open. I had taken the pickup coil off and when managed to install it wrong way around and wondered...

cross threaded a brake line when i was 16. a few years ago i snapped a bolt off. I have actually done that twice though.
As of late though, I have found mechanics fucking up more shit than I ever have. I had a mechanic break a pvc pipe and not tell me about it. Found the shitty glue job next time i popped the hood.
Tire techs seem to be nearly unable to balance a tire, also had a tire tech strip two hub threads on a wheel.

Why do spics and basketball-americans love stealing 80s and 90s Hondas?
Easey to steal, can be parted out quickley for cash, and the engines can be sold quickly

When your buying car parts from a eastern European guy in a storage shed filled with car parts somewhere in New Jearsey.you dont ask alot of questions
I've got myself a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. I towed my wifes car over 2300 miles with it, and now my trany is starting to slip because of it. What do? I'm gonna change the trany fluid today, is there anything else I can do to save my beautiful mud crawler?

Trans is probably toast but put the biggest cooler on it you can to help keep Temps down.
>>15175524
>6500ibs towing rating
What the fuck were you towing? Were you an idiot that floored it everywhere the whole way?
Nothing you can do to save it, unless you can go back in time to put a bigger tranny cooler on it.

I'm translating an episode of fast n loud. They're watching a video of an '89 firebird trans am catch on fire, and one of them says something I can't for the life of me make out. Vocaroo related: http://vocaroo.com/i/s08UyoGEN1aq

The guy who was supposed to do the transcript of the episode just wrote:
The listing wil be Ranwin Park. -Oh, Ranwin Parks.
Did he pull that out of his ass as google suggests?
Thanks a bunch guys.

Getting a mustang soon.
Im choosing between a pretty base model v8 GT or the v6 ecoboost with some nice features ( leather interior, gps, nice rims)
What should i get
v8
>>15175041
They don't make a v6 ecoboost mustang because that would be the shit.
Get the v8 manual and don't get the i4 ecoboost because you're not a faggot.
