Hi /o/, My car needs a lot of pressure to finally get the car to come to a full stop. I have to really press down on the brake pedal.
I have a friend who's going to check it out for me, but he's not available for a week or two. What info can you guys give me on car brakes? I'm just curious as to how they work, what brake fluid is, and if I may even be able to work/fix on this myself.
Thanks

Better take it to a technician sooner because it sounds like you have a leak and there's not enough brake(hydraulic) fluid to properly push the pads against the rotors. Don't drive that car unless you like uncontrollably running into things.
Start with what car/model you got.
>>14811076
No, brakes are precision beyond a simple pad change. Do not fuck with them without at a decent foundation of automotive knowkege. Not trying to be a dick but they're very delicate.
Hey /o/
I have a slow-as-fuck old Galaxie with a 289 in it. Its numbers all match, so I don't want to swap it, but I want more power out of it. Any suggestions?

nitrous plate, headers, intake, different heads, cam, valve springs, rear gears, manual tranny...
you can throw the kitchen sink at it if you want.

How much money are we looking at here? It currently has a 3-speed automatic. I don't want to race it or anything, I just want to get it fast enough to get up to highway speeds easily.
What are your thoughts on an aftermarket overdrive on the back of the transmission?
keep the old engine somewhere and swap in a LS
What do the letters "SS" stand for in "Camaro SS"?

How would I go about swapping a Lycoming engine into a Subaru?
It's the same as a boxer, just with 6L of displacement

Money.

Lots of it.

Dear God, how does that even happen
I heard that Toyota's hybrid vehicles are more reliable than their non-hybrid vehicles.
Can anyone support this?
I also heard the batteries should last well beyond 200k.
I'm looking to buy a 2007-2010 GS 350, GS 430/460, or GS 450h. I'm intrigued by the hybrid but scared about buying one with 80,000-100,000 miles on it.
I'm looking on other forums too just wanted to get the opinion of /o/ too.
I would get a 350.
Toyota rarely changes engines, and all that I've heard about hybrids is the exact opposite of what you've heard.
There was a Camry hybrid on my Craigslist a few months ago. Was probably a 2010 or 2011, but it was 3k asking price because it needed a new hybrid battery pack.
>>14812052
I hear they'll last a long time more than I hear they won't. It sucks to have doubt. It would be cool to get the hybrid.
I don't know how, but the GS hybrid batteries have a weird tendency to shit themselves after 7 years, unlike the other hybrid Toyotas. My dealership has replaced two this year, both cars having only around 100,000km.

It already did.
If Tesla had the manufacturing capacity it would outsell every manufacturer 10 to 1 easily.
If I get a Nissan Silvia, will I be happy or will I just be a hopelessly lonely driver?

depends.

No girl will want to go near it, that is for sure.
My dream car was a 1969 Mustang Fastback. I thought about owning it for a decade and now that I have it sitting in my garage, I still feel empty.
Did I completely goofed /o/? I just bought a 2003 350z and have no idea what I'm getting in to. Last car I had was a 91 mustang lx 2.3l and I'm not sure if I will be expecting. So... What should I expect from this car?
Pigfat and cooling issues

what's the best state to own a car in with regards to weather, car selection, and/or roads?
>a land where there is no snow, huge variety of jap imports and muscles without an inch of rust, and buttery smooth roads.
Sounds a bit like Australia or the UAE

Seconding Straya. Lots of muscle and Jap imports.
Eurotrash is expensive so it's rarer, but who cares about that anyway.

Just like that. Just bought the same car I had but black and later model today. Gave my dad my old blue one. I love this car. Do you?
/o/ hates everything.
That said,
>wrong gen SC
I don't un-hate it or unlike it.
But I don't know anything about it either to be family
how nice of you anon
i like that gen SC, looks really cozy
Just got this car a couple months ago and so far it's been great, but It does have some aesthetic issues. First off (and this is my biggest issue), the exhausts are fake.
>pic related
Seriously literally anything would've looked better. Second, the rims are not particularly good looking. I'm planning on replacing both of these.
nice blog post
>>14811140
Let me guess, someone pointed this out to you and you came straight here to post about it.
Geez, why are you guys so spiteful
