>Buy used 1990 Miata with 110k miles for 1500$
>It has a serious lack of power issue and take it to the shop after I drive it around for like 2000-3000 miles

>Oh well I'll pay them the 1000$ that I need to to have them fix it

>They call me up and say "Oh yeah its ready"
>As I'm checking out and theyre giving me the keys back they go "Oh yeah you have a blown head gasket but its not a big deal, just put some of that stuff you get at autozone in there"

So do you guys think this shop fucked up? They had the car apart and didn't tell me about the bad head gasket until afterwards? Then they told me it wasn't a big deal, which it was, because the car IMMEDIATELY overheated and now I'm out an extra thousand dollars.

Lol they had your engine out and neglected to call you and ask if you wanted it replaced?

You got FUCKED mate, now you gotta pay labor all over again just for an engine pull

>>13872960
Yeah that's what I thought. There's no way I can bitch at them and demand them to tell me to take it all apart again for free?

>>13872963
That's shitty. Start writing bad Yelp reviews until they do it for the cost of parts.

Buy at end of riding season. This is especially true for dealers looking to get rid of inventory. I got my last bike from a dealer at almost 30% off the listed price (which was KBB price) plus got free winter storage.

Know market value. Look at KBB, ads in your area for similar bikes.

When you find a bike, give the VIN to VINbro to check out history.

Make sure you get clean title.

What are the cons of deleting a EGR system from a car? Will I have to use a higher grade fuel?
27 posts and 7 images submitted.
>>
>>13872787
it will be harder to pass smog if they test in your area.

I personally found cars that had the EGR system took significantly longer to reach operational temperature : which to me matters since i let the car warm up about 5 minutes before driving it to make sure everything is warm and the oil flows freely.

It will not make you need to use a higher grade fuel. It may also improve performance as you are not injecting dirty low o2 air back into the metering system.

My car dumps the EGR right back before the air filter, so it gets pretty dirty in a 6-8 month window, making me replace them a lot more than i really think i should, but the filters are cheap (purchased in bulk from japan, 24 in a box was only like 30 bucks)
>>
>>13872817
Will it increase the change that the engine will knock?
>>
>>13872943
no. cars with EGR don't have egr on at startup or at WOT so theyre not tuned with egr necessary to prevent knock

Did you adjust timing chain lash?
It will mess with the valve shims.
>>
I checked the timing chain and valve covers and its all fine. It may be the new short throw dip-stick i put in it yesterday. Ill take a look at that.
>>
>>13872784
If that's your Rx8 it looks pretty great assuming those tires aren't rubbing/you're not riding the bump stops on every bump.

I'm gonna fucking do it. I'm finally getting a personal dd.

it's a fucking tournament shonen anime. That is, it's a show for little boys. The basic premise of this simple: The hero always wins.

Takumi is the same character as Goku, Kenshiro, Joseph Joestar or whoever. If you watched Initial D expecting anything deeper than Fist of the North Star with cars, you're an idiot.

It's not that much.

So how come the diablo GT isn't talked about that much?

I never even knew about this car until a few weeks ago, I was always aware of the diablo but never looked into them since I am a ferrari guy. But after reading the specs on the diablo gt, the car is just pure italian insanity

Also, how "german" were the diablos after 1998 when audi bought them? Since this would include the diablo gt

Noob question, trying to understand wheel offset a little better. What would a completely negative offset be in mm? Pic related
13 posts and 3 images submitted.
>>
>>13872668
There are other variables.
But in the center of the wheel is 0.
>>
>>13872672
0mm right? I would imagine that going negative beyond the center like in that picture would be -mm (-5mm, -10mm, etc) but I have never seen that.
>>
>>13872668
Offset is where the wheel mount surface is in relation to the center line of the wheel. Backspacing is how far from the inner edge of the wheel the wheel mount surface is. A 'completely negative' offset would be 0 backspacing.

Is a Holden 355 stroker v8 worth the money or is there a better 5 litre engine that can be had for cheaper?
Can pay anywhere up to $10,000 for something like pic related and that is without a gearbox.

What's it going into ?
>>
>>13872621
a VL commodore, could get an rb26 with twin turbos on it for around $6,000 and i already have a gearbox that will fit but i just want a naturally aspirated engine with a big fuck off cam more than i want vrrrrttttttssssss to be honest.
So i figure a 350 is my best bet, choosing which though is becoming a pain in the arse, they all seem to be fucking expensive for what they are.

Any mk6/7 owners or ex-owners here? What's your opinions? Thinking of getting a TSi or TDi.

Ya senpai, got a 2016 R. Its pretty great, just picked it up recently. Are you buying new?

I wouldn't go with TDI for obvious reasons.
>>
Gti's and R's are one of the most fun cars for the buck. They are an absolute blast to drive. Anything diesel is miserable to drive. I worked at a vw dealership and regularly drove each. I'm on the verge of getting a gti with the discount.

>>13872497
Get a MK1/2

>swap in a nice VW engine 'say a nice VR6 engine like from a R32, or smaller like a 1.8T
>swap in AWD system from a Golf syncro
>swap in some nice seats and get yourself a nice steering wheel
>get some nice wheels, coilovers and brakes

be better then any modern golf
