What does /o/ thinks of pattern parts, third party parts, etc. Would you scour the scrapyards for an original fender, sideskirts, doors, etc instead of buy a new pattern parts for the same(sometimes even cheaper) money?
i sure would, most cars that get scrapped are scrapped because of one specific problem that would cost more to repair than the person bought the car for, so you could have a perfectly functional everything around a dead engine, or vice versa. if you aren't afraid to get murdered by a dog they're great places to go
Depends on the car and how good the pattern is.
>>17835259
Yes, but scrapyard owners are wising up so just do the research
Be honest, how many girls have ridden in your current car with you?
2 for me. my mom and this qt from work I drop off when we work together
three.
mom, sister, and a friend who i met at a fandom gathering.
Don't have a car.
Two grills have ridden on my bike though
>>17834963
Over a dozen just in the last month. Bitches love that bench seat life.
>the subs behind the seat help too
This car would be perfect with a 6-cyl engine and RWD.
sounds like a way to make it needlessly more expensive and heavier making it objectively worse than stock
>>17834843
RWD is simpler than FWD
>>17834868
except it isn't???? rwd requires a long driveshaft and edtra components

I've been wondering if there are any cars with decent paddle shifters around 10-15K ameribucks,
The only ones I could seem to find was the G37 and BRZ/FRS,
Also general paddle shifter thread, im interested in learning more about them because I want a car for commute and to make my manual shitbox a weekend car.
BMW 335i from 09 onward has either dual clutch or the ZF transmission. Both of which are faster shifters than any stick driver.
The 7 and 8 > 6 for the ZF BUT i've only had complaints while tracking. The normal road driving its smooth as can be
>>17834700
I *think* there's a model of saab 93 2.0T that comes with paddle shifters. IDK what year tho. Its a nice car, pushes over 200hp and gets great highway gas mileage.
>>17834700
Use a manual on your commute, pussy.
A manual G37 > auto

pick one. AWD cars, in general, are rare down south
What do you think about new Mini Coopers?
I kinda like them but I have heard they aren't exactly reliable. Is this true and if it is what kind of problems do the cars have?
>>17834661
no specialist, but it seems the consensus is that they're fun af to drive but are build with BMW logic into an even smaller space
Meaning they are miserable to maintain over 100k.
They are big
I leave in 8 hours to drive from Cali to Illinois in my shitty Civic to go be laughed at by people with 1000hp cars.
Wish me luck senpai.
I'm way more interested in the trials and tribulations of an old Civic doing Drag Week than I am the 'problems' and 'experiences' had by boomers with $5,400,000 """""street-legal""""" monsters hauling trailers with entire new engines in reserve.
Best of luck you fuckin' madman.
>1000hp
I think you mean 3500 hp cars desu senpai
Only just now going to bed.... Don't think this is a good idea, but too late now: I'm sure epic road trips have been made on 5 hours of sleep.
Hey /o/
A friend has had a 2002 Ford Ranger XL for a while now. Recently his intake hose has been going out. He went to a ford dealer and they told him the part number for the intake hose is 1L5Z-9B659-AA however upon searching we were only able to find 1L5Z-9B659-BA intakes. Would this work as a replacement for the truck intake hose or where would we be able to find an exact version of the one he needs? We have searched local junkyards, we have scoured the internet and still we cant find a thing for this specific intake hose. Any help is appreciated.
The engine he has is a 3.0 V6.

>his intake hose has been going out
What are the symptoms?

Just had the major service done at a highly recommended independant Subaru specialist in my city. (the timing belt one) how long should set me right for?
think from here on I should learn to work on my car myself and just take it in to see him for the more major services?
What should I start off learning to do and what should I do in approx 6 months myself?
>>17834275
oh look, another wrx owner who doesn't know how to work on their own car
fuck you
>>17834275
>how long should set me right for?
If you're asking how long until you'll need it done again, probably around 50-100k miles unless you beat on it.
Yeah, I'd recommend learning how to work on it yourself, and take it in for things that could destroy your engine or at least be a bad time if you fuck them up (like the timing belt)
Start of changing your oil, it's pretty easy to do, I've got a nearly identical WRX, except mine is a wagon. The oil filter mounts on the bottom and you might need a tool (or just a bit of rubber and a firm grip) to get it out.
Suspension and brakes are decently easy to work on yourself, it's pretty apparent how it all goes together. Really, just try and work through it as things need repaired.
>>17834569
>someone trying to learn how to work on their own stuff. Fuck you for trying
>>17835484
at 6 month services what else should I be aiming to do besides oil changes?
What is wrong with this car?

Why is a bmw only for 12k? I've asked this before but didn't receive any convincing replies.

Did you even read the CarFax bruh?
>>17834222
Brand name doesn't mean everything, faggot.
I regularly see Audis and BMWs for under $4k. The reason?
they are shitboxes
I'd say that's a fair price for a 6 year old 3 series with 60k miles. It's expensive to maintain """luxury""" cars, and this is a well used """luxury""" car, and on top of that, it's a BMW.
Luxury cars depreciate much more than your average car.
>>17834247
OH YEAH HOLY SHIT
>3 previous owners
>damage reported to front and rear
really makes you think
anyone here still like t/o/y cars?
post a pic of your favorite ones that you own.

How do I haggle? I called up a toyota dealership and they have a toyota CPO car for 15k $. Similar cars at other dealerships are atleast 1k more. Is it still possible to haggle? I'm a new college graduate , can I use this info to cook up a sob story about how I cannot afford it. Please respond
Bump. Need to go to the dealer tomo. Don't want to get caught with my pants down. I am sheltered idiot.
Stay away from dealerships.
>>17834470
It is a toyota franchise dealer. Very highly rated on google. Undercutting KBB lowest price for the car by 700$

Also I underestimated just how small 3" long is, it's perfect for laptops and smaller devices, but I think it's a bit too small for PCs. When I do restocks I'll get them back but at 4" long and that should fix it.
However these ones right now are just as good, the text is really small but absolutely legible, here's a pic with a credit card as reference.
Also for shipping: I'd really recommend you guys choose the bubblemailer option to make sure the stickies keep safe. I'll try my best to keep the lettermail ones save, but your best bet is bubblemailer.
