400k km's over 4 years is nothing... The fact that it needed all that shit replaced says a lot. A modern new cheap ICE shitbox would make it to that easily with just oil changes. I bet that guy also drives like a grandma most the time and doesn't supercharge it. Floor it at every light and supercharge it and it'll go to shit pretty quickly.

For a Tesla, do you consider getting the motor replaced analogous to getting your engine replaced? If so, 250k isn't very impressive.

Hey /o/, /k/ here. I almost never browse this board but 4chan is usually my go to for dumbed down advice (sadly).
I'm trying to replace the radio in my shitbox 1990 buick lesabre but every tutorial I find on the internet uses big fancy words I dont understand because I'm retarded with cars.
Can anyone link me to a very rudimentary explanation on how to replace a car radio? Or give me step by step advice on this so I dont fuck my car up?

go into the store it is parked in front of, ask one of the clerks who owns that red car. If they can't answer, it is probably a customer's car and they'll be out in a bit

95 4runner 87,000miles clean exterior and interior

What should I keep an eye out for when I go to see it, and what's it worth? KBB has it at 3k, guy is asking 4.2.

>>17777422
Rust under the frame, check the interior for cracking plastic and loose panels(out in the sun/hard use) , make sure to check obvious noises on start up.

>>17777447
Thanks! I'll definitely get under there and check for rust. Can you comment on what a reasonable price may be?
>>
>>17777458
Depends on the quality of the inside and the condition outside, that's very low mileage for one of these 4runners of this year, in my neck of the woods a 4runner around this year goes from 3k with double the miles and usually paint and sometimes minor body damage.
Price should also depend on the package, the I4 (2.7L) is worth a lot less than the than the V6. Personally the v6 is all that interests me and if everything checked out I'd be willing to pay 4k pretty easily, where as the l4 I'd price in and around 3k

Why is the 370z still produced?
It still has a putrid interior for the price.

Because people still buy them. My neighbour got his brand new 370z a week back.

Is HCCI the next step towards an engine that can run on both gasoline and diesel?
30 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>17777285
I think it's a step towards running a gasoline engine like a diesel.
>>
>>17777285
The question is if HCCI can allow an econobox to make decent power while hitting 50mpg.
>>
>>17777285
>diesel

There is no such thing as diesel. What you and every other fuel naive person refer to as diesel should be correctly known as " compression ignition viable heating oils". "Diesel" can be petroleum based as our current paradigm allows...but it doesn't have to be as oxidated vegetable oils can also be run in a Diesel engine. Understand that the Engine is correctly known as a Diesel ans calling all compression ignition viable heating oils "diesel" spits in the faces of the chemical and mechanical engineers who worked tirelessly to give us the most advanced heating oil technology possible.
Thanks!
