What oil filter is best oil filter?
>Super Turbo Racing
Aw, that's cute.
Is high mileage oil a marketing scheme? I have a s10 at coming up to 161k miles. Im not ready to buy into the high mileage petroleum jew.
>>14592301
I'd say yes, just buy a slightly thicker oil if it's high mileage
Was thinking of getting a 4Runner. Is this true that they can go high miles without much work. I like the look of the one in this video.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=tiXmUKkhAFc
yes 4runners are good, the one down side is IFS
god that fucking cameraman should put up against a wall and shot
>>14592361
>the one down side is IFS
Not really a downside for someone asking if "they can go high miles without much work."
>>14592203
i have one that has gone over 250k miles and we have barely worked on it at all. only thing i had wrong with it is some jackass stripped the bolts for my skidplate so i had to get new ones on the next oil change i got done. otherwise, no problems at all and it makes a great offroader.
Why doesn't the genesis coupe receive the respect it deserves?
>>14592062
It wasn't very reliable or nice at all.
Yes I've driven them
>>14592062
there's a MT group test with mustang, genesis, 86, and something else.
you can see for yourself there.
contrary to autist benchracer opinions on /o/ feels are important when you buy a sports car
Not necessarily trying to waste anyone's time.
Was recently gifted a 2007 BMW 525i from my father, a week or so ago.
Looking to sell it as soon as possible, and plan to make a little more money than what pops bought it for.
Does anybody know any specific videos which show how to set back the car's odometer?
I'm fairly new to /o/ so if there's any appropriate information an anon is missing, please let me know. I'll be more than glad to provide it.
>pic related (not OC but what the car looks like)
You should consider jumping out of a window.
Rolling back odometer's is heinous and a federal crime.
Spend time doing maintenance and fixing anything that may be broken or wearing out.
A vehicle with service records can command a higher asking price than a vehicle without.
That's some b8 if i ever seen't it
>fuck u dad i'm selling it
>btw how roll odo back??
>automaker puts gas cap on the passenger's side, not the driver's side
>>14591560
You poor thing.
God forbid you have to walk a few feet to the other side of the car.
so everyone doesn't have to wait for pumps on the same side
because driving backward is hard
>pretty sure where your fuel filler is
>get it wrong half the time anyway
What sub $1000 craigslist car would make for a decent low budget rally car platform? Why?
Anything. Because you'd be modifying it a lot.

How illegal is it to put a fake plate on a pitbike?
100%
>>14591025
very. I think it would be less illegal to ride with no plate at all than to ride with a fake one. Why would you want to ride one of those on the road anyway? It might be fun for parking lots or some shit but they would have a hard time keeping up with traffic.
>>14591025
You could get some aftermarket signals to make it road legal.
Is an exhaust violation a surchargeable event in Massachusetts?

Are motorcycles more fun than cars?
Yeah 2bh.
Depends on what you prefer driving.

They are more fun per dollar
Hello, /o/. I'm young, not very educated in the workings of loans and paying things off and in need of a new vehicle and some guidance on how things work.
I'm just over halfway to my goal ($12k) for a Honda Civic and my current car is damn near on it's last leg and I doubt it'll last me the next few months until I can afford my next vehicle.
Would I have a better time going to a dealership with $6k in cash and buying half and then paying off the rest via payments or making larger monthly payments up to the tune of what I owe?
I've...

>not very educated in the workings of loans
All you need to know is not to get one.
>>14590687
So, it's best, if I can, to hold out and try to pay all in cash? Would haggling with cash maybe lower the price? I've seen stuff like that in movies, but is it something that actually happens?
>>14590690
No it won't reduce the price as dealer get incentives to sell loans but it will keep from getting screwed on a loan rate by not getting one.
Cash only works with private sellers.
Whats wrong with your current car?

Clutch is dead, most likely. Could also have had something slip and die in the transmission.

Chanches are it'll cost more to fix than the shitbox is worth
So I've been dating this girl and her Dad just bought her a new WRX. I drive a 15 year old Hyundai and I'm feeling a bit insecure about it. I need to find an extremely cheap car that will allow me to maintain my man card.
You're fucked.
>>14590138
Insecure faggot.
>>14590138
Best bet... CVPI. It won't be as fast as her car and it will never corner as well, but they love to slide the ass out and rip skids. Take her out for some donuts and fig 8s and both of you will forget how slow the car really is.
They're also dirt cheap, reliable and have a brutish masculine aura to them. It's one of the few truly iconic cars of the past 20 years, that's attainable and recognizable by anyone. Also, most people think they're faster than they are lol.
Fuck man......

Just installed new pads and rotors and drove around the neighborhood to test them. They stop great but the rotor is only be worn on the Inside. This normal to break it in or should I freak out?
>>14589200
as long as it doesnt shudder dont worry about it.
Should have got grooved/drilled rotors
>>14589200
clean then lube up your caliper guide pins
that will help
>>14589252
Does crack and brembo blanks are just as good. Why wouldn't I worry about this? What do you mean shudder?
