hey fagg/o/s i was wondering, is it difficult to do a manny tranny swap in a classsic car?
>>15086014
but its an automatic now
>>15086025
No ECU bullshit at least. Might need a new driveshaft and possibly rear end if the gearing is different. But if you are capable of dropping the old trans, go for it.
What do you think of the Yaris WRC?

The stealth livery kinda makes the shape look like a Renault 5.
What does /o/ think of speed bumps? Do you speed over them or do you stop like a cuck?
I'd bust my oil pan if I kept going the same speed over one. The speed bumps in my area are notoriously shotty and have caused tons of damage to cars even to people who weren't speeding.
It's not being a "cuck" it's simply not wanting to destroy my car.

Iv seen some speed bumps that cause me to bottom out even if I go over them at 1mph. Fuck speedbumps, dude.
I don't slow down in my truck. I do in my car
>drives with one hand on steering wheel, one hand on gearknob
>it's an automatic
Yeah, I do this in my rental because I'm still looking at buying a car to replace my manual g35
better than resting your hand on a manual
>>15085639
I do this all the time...but I have a manual...and a lovely knob.
>not owning a comfy hhr
whats your excuse /o/?
Senility hasn't taken me yet.
My great-aunt has one of these. As she was pulling out of my dad's driveway he looked to me and said "If I ever own one of those you have my permission to pull the plug"

So my baby blew an engine 4 weeks ago. Every week I call the engine guy to see if he has one in. No luck. I am calling him soon.

So how are 4th gen Chevy Caprices?
Panther cars are still going strong after this long,but the 4th gen Caprice sort of disappeared off the face off the earth past the mid 90's. you can barely even find them used.
There's a used one for sale near me, seems good condition, not sure if i should bother with it
GM will always be the shittiest car company and they will never produce anything of value.
>>15085332
GM's B-body cars are just as great as the panther cars. They just take a bit more work to handle as decently.

What does /o/ think of the volvo s60 series? I'm thinking of swapping my electronic faulty is300 for one of those, but i don't know how reliable and gas thirsty is the awd 2.5t from 2007.
>>15085309
What kind of electric problem?
There is a waterleaks somewhere that cause the hazards lights to go on anytime, even when stopped, and others minors problems, like the auto lights not working anymore, etc, and im not even sure its the waterleaks causing problems.

I guess so. I mean what idiot would pay $1200 for 10 years which is his car note when I'm pretty sure the car won't last for 10 years. Shit even his door handles are falling apart after less than a year and a half.
So I'm trying to sell my 98 Saturn

Pros
>88000 miles one it
>ac works
Cons
>front brakes tie rods and rotors need to be replaced
>interior needs to be reupholstered
>power windows don't work
How much would you sell it for?
How much would you buy it for?
Should I trade it in?
Should I fix it? How much do you think that would cost?
Thank...

Why don't you fix it and keep it?

>>15085039
I'm considering it. I'm broke right now however. Had to move back in with parents (ugh) after breaking up with my girl. Just quit drinking too so I'm just trying to get back on track and not sure what my best options are. How much is it usually to replace the brakes rotors and tie rods on a 98 Saturn?

what makes a good driver, /o/?
>>15084647
Just do the exact opposite of what the majority here thinks it's right and you'll be fine.
Crashing. You aren't good until you've crashed at least 2 times and have learned your lesson about it.

SAFETY
So i bought an e39 about a month ago and it needs to be fixed up because the previous spic owner was too poor to do any maintenance and just wanted a good looking car.
it needs the valve cover gaskets replaced, belts changed, and the brakes got soft one day so i need to hopefully just bleed the brakes, since the guy claimed to have just replaced the pads.
my question is how do i do a brake job on this car? i've honestly never worked on a car ever but everything else has tutorials online and im not a complete idiot. any help would honestly be appreciated since...

also, ive noticed a really dangerous thing that happens sometimes. i'll be driving and when i try to come to a stop, the car would just turn off. the lights flicker but come back on but the engine stays off. this is really dangerous because it could easily cause an accident.
I've done some research and saw it could be the ignition switch failing but wanted a second opinion or to see if anyone has had this happen. really fucked issue.
You're worse than the previous spic for buying it. What you couldn't tell if the cover is leaking?
>>15084439
idc about a leaking valve cover, i can change that easily, its about the other things that i didnt know about
