Im not sure if buying a d150 is a good idea, got a 4 speed and a slant 6, what so you guys think?

I got a 84 w150 with the slant six

It won't get you there fast, but it will get you there every time. The slant six is bullet proof but it is a bit under powered in the Rams

>>17884759
To answer your question it's a great idea so long as the electrical system is in good shape and it's not too rusty

It might not be the best vehicle you own but it will be one of the most memorable

Nothing like driving a stick shift square body

Thanks, my mom said it's dumb and that I should go for an 07 auto focus with 170000km but I have a feeling I won't feel like I'm getting castrated if I own this truck compared to a focus

I can't seem to concentrate fully on the road, my mind is always wandering. I always end up braking really late at stops, or when a car is turning in front of me, for example.

The only education I have is that of the driver's license course, that's it. I don't know any cool tricks to make the girls wet. Cool cars are great and all, but a bad driver in a cool car is worse than a good driver in a shit car, right?

Please help me out, /o/

Really? How'd you even guess I drive an automatic? But you are right, I would have to concentrate better on the road. Although that's a bit of an expensive option.

A manual forces you to always be aware of what is going on with your car, and from there, the road

All three of my VSC, Trac off and Check Engine lights turn on when I drive.

I thought it could have been because my front tires were fried, or my gas cap.

But I have tried everything I could. So I took it to a local dealer of generous Vietnamese people who used their diagnostic tool for free to check what could be wrong.

How expensive can resolving this code be?

That's a 02 heater circuit sensor code you mongle. Has nothing to do with anything besides a check engine light.

What are the other codes?
>>
>>17884122
Maybe your O2 sensor went bad? I don't know why that would turn your dashboard into jackpot lights but who knows with cars for babby's these days.
>>
>>17884166
No other codes came up that I was made aware of.

My car is a 2002 Toyota Sienna XLE I bought two years ago. Not sure if that is important to anything else.

How much would it cost to fix an O2 sensor if you don't mind me asking?

Also pics of where they connect in front.

That's the oil lines to your turbo. They feed oil to your turbo so it doesn't wear out.

My apologies, gentle sir

Post a picture of your car and talk about the things you love and hate about it. I'll start;

98 Lexus SC400

Love-
Muh V8, makes more power than most turbo cars in its price range.
Car sounds amazing with just a resonator delete
Comfy boat car while still being agile through turns

Hate-
17 mpg average
No stock manual option
Open diff
Eats rotors

2001 Ford Mustang
Love:
The look of it it has a sort of hybrid street race kind of look I mean that in a it looks like it could be a muscle car but also looks like it could be an import

Is fairly agile and With the DCT transmission I can have the best of both worlds for the track and on the street
Very torquey so I can drift (but not very much) from the stock differential

Hate:
It's a V6
Everyone hates it because it's a V6
Did I mention it's a V6 and everyone thinks it's dogshit because "muh muscle car needs a V8" even though it's actually a pony car?
Again V-FUCKING-6

I daily a 98 LS400. It's really hard to get under 20MPG

Today I averaged 26MPG doing mostly highway driving.

So /o/, I've read the sticky and I have a more specific question aimed at used lare 90's subaru wagons.
From what I've read up so far, the head gasket is the big main problems with them due to the old gasket design and battery placement and care.
Most of the used ones around me go for $2000~ and I have some cash set aside for problems. How big is this issue really?
Also, 4wd/awd on subarus seem to have tight tolerances, am I pretty much out $500 for entire 4 if 1 tire goes out?

Any old subaru owners able to weigh in?

Of course any other recommendations for something not truck big, that I can use to move my stuff to another state and capable for drive out for camping/hiking also appreciated.

its the only real reason why i personally think every and any evo is a better car

its the one main crux of the car aside from needing to pull the engine to do literally any work on it
>>
>>17883447
Head gasket issue affects a limited range of years on the phase II DOHC EJ25, and once replaced is a non-issue as long as you didn't overheat the engine and warp shit or whatever.

As for the tires, it's not that big a deal. Don't run one decent tire and three bald ones anyway. The only reason to worry is if you have a manual wagon because that's the only case where you have a VC diff, and it's in the center, meaning you want the speed of the front and rear axles to be about the same. You're not going to kill anything unless it's way off. Otherwise you'll have to resort to being so autistic that you adjust your relative tire pressures until you get the exact rolling circumference of all four tires equal by marking them with chalk and rolling it down a parking lot.

If it's a late 90s, expect that it's going to start to be doing old car things. But otherwise, they're pretty sturdy battle wagons.

All cars should be left hand drive.
The weight of the driver offsets the torque of the engine.

RHD is for cuck countries only, and even then you have to be a faggit not to import a LHD car.
