Uncle of mine had one of these new back in about 85 or so, thing was full of so many electronics and luxury stuff that the future had landed on 4 wheels
How do you know when drum brakes (shoes) need replacing?
Grinding noise, pulls to one side during braking, weak brakes
Or just looking at them if you're unsure
If you're missing the "padding" on tje steel shoe or bits of it; replace, and also replace on the other side
I dont know if drum shoes have wear indicators, but if they don't you just pull the cover off and look at them just like you would a disc pad.
I asked for a cordless impact wrench for Christmas and instead got a compact drill/driver.
Can these somehow be used for the same automotive purposes that an impact driver is used?
>>14115330
No.
>>14115334
Thanks
Its ok, if you think you want a cordless impact you really dont.
They dont do shit.

I live in Calgary. Bridgestone Blizzaks are 180 bucks a piece and Nokians are 250 bucks a piece. Are they worth spending the money over Blizzaks?
What car?

2010 Mazda 3
I drove through 12 inches on my ws80s last winter, they'll bd fine
Ford vs Dodge vs Chevy?
or are they all shit?
Ford >>> Chevy = Dodge
And Dodge would be dead last if they didn't have Snek. They have only one good car, but god damn is it exceptional.
Dodge has best supercar
Ford has best general lineup
2016 Camaro is better than the Mustang.
Dodge in general is dogshit quality though.

Theyre all shit buy something that can turn

Which of these cars are the most enjoyable ride and reliable outside of regular maintenance?
1992-1998 Honda Del Sol
1996-2001 Honda Prelude
NA Mazda Miata
NB Mazda Miata
Acura RSX Type S
I'm trying to figure out which one I should get for my new daily driver.
I have an explorer for when I need more room/carrying things.
>>14112912
Enjoyable ride as a daily...probably the RSX.
Miata for skids.
Both miatas are pretty enjoyable and easy to maintain. Rsx is just a acura civic but its nice too. Cant say the same for the others since i dont know that much about them

Is this Harbor Freight racing jack any good?

lincoln, Torin, HF, etc all same shit
>>14110735
Get the steel ones, unless weight is really a huge factor.
>>14110922
Yeah get a steel 5+ ton
Those smaller racing jacks are meant emergencies only
/o/, why does Japan opt for V6's now instead of the fantastic I6?
crumple zones
>>14109993
Packaging
Costs
Mercedes and Audi use V6s as well, it's not just Japan. BMW is the only company I think of that still uses an I6
Also VQ >>> RB
>>14109993

Sheeeeit I probably got work that day. Was gon hit up caffeine and octane on the 3rd tho with a friend. Might try and stop by sonic but won't have time for the run.
I have 20k saved up. Currently z3 2.8 but will give out soon. Should I upgrade to the master race or upgrade to the premium race?
I know these are very different cars - one is a fat roadster, the other a boys boxter. But I like them both. it's more a mind thing than a car thing.
Obviously european btw.
>>14101293
Cayman.
The Z4 feels less mechanical and less "toss-able" than the Z3. From an enthusiast's point of view, the Z4 was a downgrade from the Z3! The Cayman has "telepathic" handling, feels more mechanical, and has a more authentic engine sound. It's more of an enthusiast's car.
