Hey guys, I could use some opinions. I have a 96 jeep cherokee xj I'm fixing up for winter. For some reason whenever I accelerate rather hard there is a heavy repetitive metal to metal banging noise underneath it. I don't think it's the motor mounts because they look in semi decent shape. Also there is no play in the drive shafts so I'm not sure it's that either. Any ideas?
>>14158109
Exhaust possibly came loose and is dangling/banging around only when ya gas it maybe?
>>14158128
Although the exhaust is rattling. That's not it. This is a really heavy banging noise.
Thanks for the quick reply.
>>14158147
I should also say that it does it when I'm in drive and standing on the brake while giving it gas.
But not while in neutral and giving it gas
Hey guys
I was backing out of a narrow driveway in the dark, flirting with this new girl I'm seeing, and when I swung out into traffic I clipped a tree with my front bumper because I'm a huge fag.
It felt like I barely scraped it, but the bumper basically shattered into a million pieces.
Trying to decide whether to use my insurance or pay out of pocket and upgrade to MTech or something. Waiting to hear back from my adjuster to find out if my rates will change or not.
Did you guys do anything stupid this week?

I've read the sticky but I feel like there may be better options because of my wants/needs in the same price areas.
I'd like a compact sedan or coupe that will go faster than a kia rio or accord.
I've changed my radiator, a leaky transmission line, and some other stuff so I can do some home wrenching but i'd like it to be reliable enough I don't worry about having to wrench it daily.
I need gas mileage to be at least 22 city / higher highway.
I don't want something an insurance company is going to bend me over for...

There was your mistake

It wasn't an angry yell, I was more like just talking loud enough for her to hear me from where I was.
This is why you conceal carry, or at least have the brain function to remember a 6-8 digit license plate
Imagine a Racing Series of the future. The technology can either be present day or speculative. For example, the cars could still be combustion-powered and made with highly lightweight bodies, or hover vehicles capable of speeds in excess of 300 mph.
Also try to imagine some course layouts, a typical car or vehicle in such an event, and some rules, possibly including a scoring system.
This thread is just meant to encourage some creativity.
Racing in the future will pretty much just be Formula E but actually fast.

Can we just bring back Group C already?
Why don't cars have long shifter handles anymore?
It seems like any modern manual transmission has a stubby handle.
It's objectively faster, and manufacturers care a lot about numbers these days.
>>14155833
because muh short throw
better yet. most cars are FWD today,
We do we keep having a fat middle consoles?
>cars that honk the horn when you lock or unlock the car

to whoever designed new cars so that when they unlock every light including the reverse lights come on so when youre looking for spots in a parking lot and dont know if people are actually backing out or not,

>cars that honk on the second push of the lock button.
People push it twice just to be noticed.... I swear.
Every day when my neighbor gets home.

Fuck off!!!!

Is that even a thing?
This lady got her money back via lemon law because she can't drive a manual. She tries to start in second gear from a total stop. She dumps the clutch, stalls it, and then proceeds to furiously mash the start button. She brought the car in for service, but they could not produce the same failure (because she wasn't behind the wheel). She records a video of it happening and then they gave her her money back.

Why?
Imagine how aful she would be to deal with explaining why she's retarded, since she is that retarded. Sometimes it's just not worth the hassle.
The real tragedy here is that she reproduced twice.
why the fuck did she buy a manual
jesus christ
> and then proceeds to furiously mash the start button
this shouldn't actually matter because it's a switch that is controlling input to the bcm and the computer is actually starting the car, not like turning a key over in an old car
the computer won't let you hold the starter over
but the car can't teach this lady to drive
>what's that it has only two doors? insurance hike!
ok whatever
>what's that it displaces more than a liter? insurance hike!
fine i can give you tha-

Insurance is run by the jews, what did you expect?
I guess that's why you buy a Civic.
>>14154833
Civics have some of the highest insurance rates in the Toronto area.
Seriously, it's cheaper for me to insure an NSX

go to sleep sumit you have a plane to catch
What do you wear while driving? Shoes, clothes, sunglasses, etc.
Pic related are ARD-336 Progear-MT, developed by Asics and promoted by the FIA. Keiichi Tsuchiya (Drift King) and the rest of the Best Motoring drivers are commonly seen wearing these in the pedal cams, but they cost about $300.
Chucks.

is it possible to 3D print a usable formula 1 engine?
>>14152539
I mean the 3D printed guns don't last but for a few shots last time I checked. I doubt an engine could survive sustained use.
>not casting your own carbon block
>>14152539
No.
I doubt you could get the right properties of stuff like valves, piston rings, cylinder liners etc.
Shit like the block and heads you could probably print.
Happy new year everyone!

BMX bikes are for womens and Americans.
I have a roadbike because it has gears so i can be in control of the bike. Bicycles with no gears are for pussys or gays
