I have already tried a permatex rearview mirror adhesive kit which is a silicon, I let it sit over night and then reattached the mirror onto the circular mount. Im thinking it that either the kit is trash, or that the frit where the mirror is supposed to be mounted got in the way. The frit is those little bllack dots and the band that goes around the windshield. For some reason this particular windshield has it going down the middle from the top as well. I looked it up and it says it is a porcelain or ceramic based paint, so I am now trying JB weld Clearweld epoxy because it says it is designed for metal and ceramic. If that doesnt work, well I am running out of ideas.

Also I should note that the mirror probably fell off in the first place because of the high heat in my area. I think that it got to 112 F that day and the surface was probably enough to weaken the original adhesive enough for the mirror to all. That is why I decide to use the JB weld epoxy, because it 4400 psi and a max temp of 300 F.

about to move out soon, what are some reliable cars that are old enough to have cheap monthly insurance and under 3k (maybe a little over)? Was thinking about getting a Civic VX or a volvo 242

Hey /o/ i need some help here

I bought my very own 2016 Focus ST a few months ago, changed the oil about two weeks ago used about 5.7 quarts of 5w-30 (what i believe is ford's specs)
and that damn oil pressure guage just loves to sit so low it scares me. I added a bit more, hit just below 70psi when high rpms and cold oil, once it warms up it would stay 35psi while accelerating and then get to maybe 7psi or so while sitting still at 700rpm idle. I've heard this guage is not even very accurate and i just don't want to ruin my brand new car.

I cant remember what the guage typically did when i first got it because i was not so paranoid, this was my first time changing my oil on my own.

Maybe the guage was all the way over in the 70 range. I don't ever remember it being this low. I added an additional .3 quarts initially and just removed the extra wondering if i had magnified my problem. I don't believe it did. Should I add some more back?


tldr: noobie questions :2016 Focus st oil gauge reads very low at idle, I'm certain the vehicle possesses the manufacturers reccomended 5.7quarts. Is it advisable to add additional oil (i'm hoping .3-.7qts whould do it) until the gauge reads at least 10psi at hot idle?

Pic related mine kind of looks like that, perhaps a bit lower.

Redpill me on the 2000 BMW 530i lads, is this the best deal I have stumbled upon?

https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/d/2001-bmw-530i-6-cyl-t-180k/6274496278.html

>$1,000 OBO
>180k miles
>Comfy, easy to wipe leather seats
>Mismatched door and faded clear coat for added street cred
>Worn everything
>CEL
>Autotragic
>One of 6 cylinders is failing
>Front tires have 60% tread, rear tires are fresh

This seems like an absolute joy to restore, mantain, and DD. What would I be getting into if I decided to work on this myself?

Hello guys, long time lurker here, I just made my first youtube video and I know the editing sucks but I wanted to put anything up so I can look back and see the progress, I already have more ideas on editing and am willing to invest more time into this but you gotta start somewhere.

Anyways it's about 5 vintage sports cars you might have not heard of.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uiPtHZVlw4&feature=youtu.be

I would like to hear which one would you rather have and why?

I want to put a planetary gear set after my CVT.
Now there are 5 settings one can have in a planetary gear set:

1.Neutral
2.Reverse
3.Over Drive
4.Gear Reduction
5.Direct Drive

Now in my case all i want is the first three.

> The question i have for you guys is using a push pull cable how could i control the planetary gears to achieve Neutral, Reverse and Over Drive.

If someone can draw a quick diagram or refer me to a video/blueprint i would really appreciate it.
