/o/ i need your help. i recently picked up a 1980 datsun 510 from a friend because it kind of drove and was cheap as fuck. It has weird hesitation/jerking problems, so i got the carb rebuilt thinking that would solve it but it's no better. Basically if i'm either barely on the gas or at WOT it's fine and goes smoothly, but anywhere in between it jerks and is an asshole. When i do WOT it'll hesitate and do nothing for a second then "grab" and go like a motherfucker.
Any ideas? i thought it might be the clutch but it's hard to tell if it's slipping or anything because the tach is wildly inaccurate
thx in advance
I had that same problem in my 85 Corolla. PM'd
How's the jetting on the carb? Fuel system all good? Spark all good?
>>17099010
did you tune the carb after rebuild? check spark wires and change plugs?
Would you sleep here?
>>17098985
Looks pretty cold desu
Nah, rooms this large create a shit ton of draft.
>check catalog
>not Miata General
I'm buying a NA8 Miata with over 200k miles on it. Turns out my credit isn't great because I never borrow money. I wasn't raised a pleb. After this is paid of, I'm buying a mk3 supra because dream car.
First thing I'm doing is rebuilding the block with forged internals. What should be next? Is there anything I should look out for?
>>17098399
10/10 op anon, great job.
also
>good credit = being raised a pleb
>financing a cheap 20+ yr old car
keep riding the bus, and leave the generals to someone who ins't a retard
"Why are you buying a Miata. That's a girls car" said some faggot with a barebones, vanilla Ford Focus.
>>17098399
wait why are you borrowing money to pay off a Miata with 200k miles?
What cars are currently at a low point in terms of price, but you'll know they'll boost in the future. I'm personally going with GC8 WRX's, especially considering the rally history and pedigree they have.
>>17098242
really depends on how much money you are willing to spend and how long you want to sit on the vehicle
Pontiac G8 GXP
You can get them relatively low now, but mark my words, their prices will only go up as times goes on
>>17098242
Fiero. I'm already seeing it happen. Local dealer near me recently sold a low mileage 1988 GT model for 25k.
Snatch them up while they're cheap people.
>Have big boy job at ~45k
>Mom and dad want me to stop driving their cars (never had my own car)
I think I want a C5 Z06.
Any reason not to? Aside from it being financially irresponsible.
45k?
3k civic and a sportbike.
>>17097950
>Not buying a C6
Id go with a c6 corvette. its everything the c5 corvette is and more for about the same price
V6 Challenger
V6 Camaro
V6 Mustang
Which one is best?
>>17097685
Camaro.
>>17097685
Challenger because its the slowest and the worst
>>17097685

Fuck, his violent manhandling of the shifter alone is enough to trigger me.

Have you ever lost control of your car before?
>>17095950
yes, a few times. people who say they have never done so haven't seen the full potential of their cars and skill. I've been lucky and usually regain control, but a few times I lost it completely and would have gotten into some shit if I had been around other cars.
it's why I only hoon away from traffic
>>17095950
Only whe I was trying to do scandinavian flicks on the local gliding club.
If I did it driving on the highway I´d be dead since I drive at least 160km/h most of the time.
My personal record was 252km/h.
I regularly fly through corners in my Integra, so you can bet your ass that it has understeered uncontrollably more than once.
I have decided I want a wrx sti. I have found a 2004 for sale near me it has 120k miles on it. The seller says it needs a paint job, windshield and rear struts. It has a stage 2 clutch, cobb bpv and 3 inch exhaust. I could get it for around 7k canadian and was just wondering if this is a good deal considering the work that has to be done to it. I was thinking I would get a pre purchase inspection just to be on the safe side if I do decide to purchase it. Anyway thanks for the help.
>>17095916
This is going to be a fun thread.
>>17095916
ask for service records and get inspection with leakdown/compression test. timing belt should have been replaced already

Hey guys, live in cali here and I want to buy a diesel car that is 1996 or older, what is the best 1990-1996 diesel car I can buy. Or even what are some notable usa diesels from that time period?
Pre 96 diesel cars are smog exempt.
>>17095720

I don't hate you, I hate the state as an entity.
So I want my first car to be a rwd shitbox with a manual, and my 3 best options seem to either be an S13, Fox body, or NA Miata. Which of those 3 is the best? I live in California so finding them cheap and rust free is no issue.
>>17095581
>S13
Good luck finding one that isn't trashed for less than 8000 dollars.
>>17095598
He lives in Cali, so it shouldn't be that hard. Although finding one that passed a legal emissions test may prove challenging.
>240sx
All I have to say is good luck. They're all trashed at this point. It would be better to import an actual 180SX that might not be trashed but thats expensive.
Also say which car is yours, mine is the Mini.
potato photo and I don't even have the civic anymore
Sorry I'm not a homo, don't have a shit box squad.
