Brother's 3000GT is sitting around since he blew the head gasket. He said he was going to scrap it but if I wanted to repair it to have at it.
over 9000 hours on youtube and I'm ready to buy the parts and do it
Who wants to take bets on that I fuck it all up or actually fix it?
alright no one is saying no so here WE GO!
What a shit name for a tripfag
You sure its just a head gasket? Those cars are notorious for their turbos going kaboom.
Hey fellas, bought a 1971 Buick riviera about three months ago but I'm having some trouble. I was hoping I could get some advice from you guys. When I bought it, the original owner had just put a brand new edelbrock four barrel carb on it and the thing ran great, but had a very high idle, so high that at stop lights I would have to keep both feet on the brake. When I talked to him he said he had it tuned for the cold weather, I live in Oregon by the way. So I adjusted it so idle a bit lower cause it's been hot as fuck. Well when I made that minor adjustment to the idle screw, I didn't touch the air/fuel mixture screws at all, but for about a week it's been coughing while I bring the rpms up doing down the road. It hesitates and general isn't running that great.
I read the Manuel that came with the carb and it said all three screws need to be adjusted together to achieve the best idle. Well after about three days of trying to do it myself by ear, I've come to the conclusion i have no clue what the fuck I'm doing. Can anyone give me any advice as to how to fix it or would it be best to take it to a shop and have them do it?

Also, I've watched about ten different videos on YouTube that all say about the same thing the manual did, so I'm kinda at a dead end.
If you've adjusted the carburetor correctly (via manual and YT guides), you might have a vacuum line leak going in/out of the carburetor.
Atleast that's what I think of immediately when I hear about idling problems.

How would I check for leaks? I sprayed some chemtool around the base or the carb to see if that's where it was and I also visually inspected the lines and couldn't hear/see anything.
Would it cost an arm and a leg to take it to a shop?
hey, I am trying to keep the shell of my truck cool come summertime, I currently have a brown glossy fiberglass shell that keeps much cooler than the flat black campershell I had before. how hot do the aluminum campers shells become? if I pick up a flat black aluminum campers can I easily paint it flat white or shiny white?
do aluminum truck toppers get significantly hotter than fiberglas campers when left in the hot sun?
can I at least get a comment on the rv?
i just build a fun page for now and in progres with website plans.
if there is someone who like to support OFF ROAD TEAMS world wide & create events maps. pls contact me
Am I the only one that loves the 32's front?

Are there any older V12s that don't destroy the wallet with gas usage?
if you're worried about the cost of gas with an old V12 then you can't even dream of affording the maintenance on one.

This but it will break the bank in other ways

I like to watch on YouTube car crashes or anything related to gore about cars, is there something wrong with me?
yes
it's that you're blogging on /o/
Yes, you're disgusting weeb trash.

honestly this is the average sort of girl i wish i had been having one night stands with in college
nothing really noteworthy about her but it would be a good night of feeling like you're normal. i'd almost rather bang her than someone objectively prettier because at that point you're like "ok you're banging me but you're out of my league, what's your angle"
with this girl you're like "ok shes just horny like me, we're both average. cool"
anyway whats this thread about?
>tfw no qt panelvan
Panelvans are cute. CUTE!
Why does no one make them anymore?
/o/K guys, what do we know about the upcoming 2020 Ford Bronco.
What will be the pricepoint, engine, two/four seats....etc.
Let us gues what will be in the pacage, and don't forget it will be also avialable in europe / australia, so are we seeing a diesel?
~$60k, 2.7l ecob or hybrid, 2+2
>>17557494
i hope it will not be this expensive.....but if i look to the direct competetor jeep i think you might be right
I wonder what it will look like. The concept cars are looking like dogshit.
What's the Volvo 245 of motorbikes?
Do you wear hearing protection when driving long distances or in a loud shitbox?
As a rider of 15 years, yes.
Shear wind noise is the enemy, I always keep a dozen on hand during group rides.
Yes, I put my headphones in when driving long distances, it's loud as fuck in my car and there's no AC so the windows are all down and it's very fatiguing on the ears.
>>17557095
> Car
No. The car is full of insulation.
> Bike
No, although I'm tempted to start. I ride a 125 currently, so the engine is loud as fuck at 60MPH, and the wind's noisy as fuck too.
Why would anyone want to ride a shitty Honda cx500 when the cb500 exists?
Alright /o/, how the fuck am I supposed to find car meets/events. I live in a major city where I know events happen, but searching facebook or google returns nothing. What do?
Pic related, my car.
I found a car meet (with my first ever skyline r34) in my town by passing it - with a bus, how ironic. Passed it again someday when getting a pickup from a friend. It's always friday evening, though I do not know the exact system. It's in front of a sports hall on a small parking lot, if you want to know. Maybe speak to people with enthusiast cars?

Get over social anxiety or whatever and approach people with nice/old cars and ask after what they've heard
Just pop in to the local vape bar and ask the proprietor where your fellow WRX owners meet up.
