Tell me why shouldn't I buy Volvo 240 for dd?
>>14724546
old, requires a lot of maintenance to run well, probably hasn't been maintained properly,
Overall they're decent cars but don't fall for the meme. They take work.
>>14724546
because you don't live in Portland or Austin and you're smarter than taking on the repairs when you could buy something reliable for the same price
>>14724546
Because you should buy a 740 turbo.
But really, no, I'm not gonna tell you not to, that would be silly and contrarian.
so /o/ i was just given a HYUNDAI Amica gsi, i want to make it as ironic as possible.
what mods should i get for it?
drive it every day and take care of it
>>14724377
Had one of those, great little commuters no power at all though
even slower if you have the Auto
The manual can be sorta fun if you slam shift it and rev as high as it can
I don't know if there isn't a mod community for them, but good luck
They were also called the Hyundai Atos Prime GLS if that might help you on finding out something

i already have a DD so would like to have some fun with this.
So due to reasons, I now have a LT1 with a 4L60E hooked up to it sitting in my garage with virtually everything I'd need to get it hooked up and running. What should I be looking to put this fake LS into, /o/?
Make it work.
>>14724368
4 door blazer with bad engine or trans.
Change out the torque converter for a higher stall one while you have it out of a vehicle.
What's your wiper of choice /o/?

Whatever Bosch ones that aren't stupid expensive will fit on my car. I think I grabbed the $17.99 Icon ones from VatoZone last time.

Is this a proper alternative for fuel?
>Don't give me that conservative bullshit "hurr durr global warming and climate change is liberal bullshit" and "hurr durr we are never going to run out of gasoline"
Both of those statements have been proven false so none of that bullshit
fine if the fuel system and engine are made for it.

i dont mind burning corn.
Makes more power, but you need more of it.
Is the Jeep Renegade an acceptable Batmobile?
A lot of people say it's got a lot of problems with its setup and that doesn't keep good pace with its competitors. Some WTF choices made when building the car feels more like the Renegade are needlessly alluding to other Jeep models. By the end of your drive you don't feel any emotional connection with the car and you just want to get out. The whole car just feel like a hot mess.
Did the Renegade fail to live up to the hype?
what hype
Is this a thinly veiled /tv/ thread?
Anyways, OP, the Renegade is a Fiat with a bodykit. It's even made in Italy.
Renegade is some low rent jeep. It looks targeted to poor millenials that want the jeep brand but can't afford the wrangler. Or middle aged women that worry about the snow as they drive to costco.
Fuck that vehicle, fca, the assholes that made the song, and the whole jeep brand/image.

That's kinda clever.
Did it work?
>using inferior farm equipment
you did a good job, but can you beat me in the pulls senpai? I got a fire you can't put out.
>>14723422
Yeah, the guy saved >60% of his crop
For this of you who have painted/repainted body panels on your cars, what advice can you give? One of my front fenders has been damaged in two separate incidents now, and I'd like to replace it.
Is it as simple as buying the unpainted fender, priming it if necessary, and using correct color rattle-can spray paint? A quick google search was only giving me articles about painting the entire car, or using professional body shop level tools.
>>14722877
U WOT M9
U MUST BE MENTAL M8
U CANT PAINT UR CAR AT HOME
U NEED OVER 9000 OF EWUIPMENT
RUNS, COLOUR MATCH, ORANGE PEEL, DEATH
SIMPLY CAN NOT BE DONE
I painted my fenders with rustoleum turned out pretty good for spray cans.
I used to work at a body shop and have painted cars.
There are varying levels of professionalism you can apply to your paint job, if you want perfection best be ready to pay or work your ass off.
>>14723066
>painting body panels off the car
I'm thinking about putting in an epoxy floor coating in my garage. I'd do it myself using a kit (because contractor prices, lol). Anyway, does anyone here have experience with these kits?
Dudes at work use it all the time (construction site). They're all cooked so probably use a decent mask.
>>14722214
> What can go wrong, right?
>>14722592
Exactly why I'm asking. I've read reviews with people saying it pulls up and whatnot. Just doing my research.
Why are us burgercans such cucks we don't have a autobahn system? Too much freedom for the serfs?
It's not like it won't be long until our autobahn system gets canned. Stupid people are complaining a lot already and they're usually the ones being listened to.
>>14721640
I think the Autobahn system will only be canned over the ADAC's dead body, and that thing is more powerful than the cigarette and alcohol lobby folded into one.
Because it just wont work when you got "Mr. I'm free to go the speed limit in the left lane"...
Most people are wayyy tooo fucking stupid to deal with normal speeds, are always on the phone and never check their rear view mirrors. Not a good combination of things when you got cars going 200mph.
Why hasn't he done this yet?
I think he is missing out heaps on the poor fag market.
Is it because he doesn't want lots of boxsters with poorly fitted fake kits and rota wheels getting around, ruining his image..
I'd love to see an rwb 97-2000 boxster.
>>14726780
>think he is missing out heaps on the poor fag market.
poorfags cant afford RWB
>>14726788
Why how much is a kit?
>>14726810
20k
thats just the body and nothing else
Can anyone tell me what this shaft is called? I have a pre 95' ford explorer and this particular piece is broken at what I think is a U-joint, just in front of the black rubber piece....any help or experience would be great
stub axle
>>14726596
Thanks, Are ford explorers generally shit? Judging from various websites and groups it seems like they have endless issues...
>>14726588
Oh god is that ford's TTB? Steer clear at all costs.
thoughts? Opinions? I have a budget of 5000 and I'm looking for an integra or something similar.
>are you Mexican?
or
>do you like having your property stolen?
>>14726213
Neither, actually..
>>14726220
Consider another car unless you live in suburban Maine or in a gated community.
Seriously though, you'd have a hard time finding a good one. Don't know what Honda was thinking, but they fucked up the paint and plastics hard. I think I've ever seen one in good condition. They still work fine, I'm sure, but they just look so fucking bad and trashy.
Is it risky to replace a valve cover gasket on a old, high mileage car?
I'm worried that if I remove and re-install the valve cover that I'll potentially cause new problems.
I know certain things you should leave alone after a point, like transmission fluid. But what about this?
pic unrelated.
>>14726035
Shouldn't be an issue.
>>14726035
replacing a gasket on a old high mileage car should never give you a fucking issue unless you do something improperly (forget rtv/sealant where its required by manufacturer, overtorque bolts or dont use torque pattern required)
in which case you'll have to redo the job over again because your leak wont go away
>>14726035
No it should be fine as long as you do it right.
It really isn't very complicated or difficult so you should be good.
do i got brembo calipers and im looking to replace my rotors since my current ones are worn out and squeal do i need specific rotors for brembos or will any do and will getting any rotor stop the squeal? pic related my calipers
>>14725863
Any rotor is fine.
And good for you wanting to upgrade your brakes. So many faggots try for big gains and do nothing to their brakes, and brakes should be one of the first upgrades on any car.
>>14725877
I think he's saying he had the factory Brembo upgrades.
>>14725897
my brembos didnt come from the factory took them from a 350z
