Need help with something, maybe you guys will know what's up or have had a similar problem.
1993 Miata
My car is overheating and smoking blue/white smoke from the back of the engine block (1.6 inline 4) some have told me its a leaking valve cover. Is this a reasonable assumption?
>pic unrelated
>>13946623
A leaking valve cover gasket could create smoke from the oil burning off, but not the overheating.
How much is it overheating? Did the smoke start after it overheated the first time?
>>13946646
Yes the smoke happens when the heat goes past the mid range, once its at H it smokes like crazy.
It overheats after about 10 minutes of driving on 50km roads from cold start

Yeah, it is going to be owned by a boomer who is going to charge you 15k for it
Link please.
Always a risk buying someone else's project. Depends on your experience and what you want to do with the car. If you can't do stuff like diagnose electrical issues, vague drivetrain problems, etc. forget it.
You were too fast through that corner

I'll just make the chase last longer than 5 minutes.
Does less grip make a car more fun?
>235 tyres on all sides
>AWD
>only 180hp
>literally impossible slide in the dry
Go drive in a wet grass field and judge for yourself
>>13946298
If your goal is to just have fun dicking around, then yes most definitely. If your goal is to actually keep getting power down and come out of a turn at speed going the right direction, then no, unless you're dagumi
>>13946298
but that's not an Audi

For those of you in one-plate states, if you have a novelty plate on the front of your car, what is it? I just got a car and I need inspiration.
I keep thinking of the orange Back to the Future plate or a Gadsden flag plate, but IDK.
>>13946116
I'd place an ornate wood carving of a cock on a home made bracket but that's just me senpai
>>13946116
Going from a two-plate to a one-plate state, I don't understand why anyone willingly puts a front plate on if they don't need to.

Ah, yes, the figurehead approach. Like a pirate ship of yore. I like it. Unfortunately, my boss is a Jew and wouldn't approve.
Thanks for the bump, though, friend.
We post cars we will get if we didn't care about performance, speed, track days, handing and just wanted something to get from point A to B nice and comfortable.

Requirements:

>Must baby occasionally
>RWD
>Small
Pretty much open to any suggestions within those parameters.
>>13946077

We discuss the Buick Riviera, and how it turned from a beautiful car into a UFO.
The only thing that can save Buick from Chinese grandpas is an ATS-V based GNX.
ayy lmao
why is it not donked on floating spinners?
I've heard people say that stereos are for people who don't like the way their engine sounds. Fuck you, I like music.
So /o/, what goes in your ultimate driving playlist? Right now I'm listening to a playlist I found on spotify of all the fnf soundtracks. I also have all 200 Super Eurobeat albums (pic related) and of course the entire Initial D soundtrack.
technical death metal and vaporwave

Been listening to a lot of Left Lane Cruiser lately, that and eurobeat.

> have a hard on for wagons
> all the Outbacks and Corollas in my area have massive lots of rust and shitty interiors
Why can't I find wagon that has had a white trash chain smoker and her 4 rugrats tearing it up?
>>13945972
> hasn't*
FUCK
go out of state, I see those shits for sale all the time here in SoCal
>>13945972
Corolla is God tier. I want one so bad.
In the same boat OP. Waiting for the right one
Which is safer for winter driving on snow and ice:
>AWD family sedan with studless winter tires
or
>AWD SUV with all-season tires?
The safer one is the one with the better driver.
That said, snow tires > all seasons
>>13945965
Why is this even a question?
Of course its the one with the winter tires.
>>13945965
Is this stupid?
Hey /o/! I'm looking to upgrade my car. I'm stuck between a z4 or 350z. Any ideas to which one I should get or any other cars. I'm mainly looking for coupes that are around 12k or so. I may be able to go up to 15k if I like the suggestion.
id wait for the new z4m
>>13946112
>12k budget
>wait for a new car
>>13946125
z4 coupe if you can afford it, it was the only good looking BMW of the Bangle Era.
Or you can opt for 135i if you can budget a bit more.
