Do it it's fine. FWD is a non issue for anything that's not a dedicated race car and even then people make dedicated race cars with FWD. If you're looking for more fun than practicality get yourself any Civic Si you can afford but otherwise it will be a comfy commuter car and that's all it needs to be.

I drive a V6 auto (it might be an '05). The steering is frighteningly unresponsive on gravel roads, but that's not an issue for 99% of people. The trans is probably the worst auto I've ever driven, but with a manual it might even be fun. You can also fit 4 grown people in it (good luck with that in a Civic).

> but I'm not sure I'd enjoy a fwd manual

fwd manual was good enough for this kid

you might make it worse by flushing the system, sometimes the crap in the fluid is just enough to keep it working

>>17484953
Do you know how long I have till it grenades on me if I only drive to and from work?

>>17484944
Oh pull the gun out of your mouth and calm down.
Getting a decent independent shop to source and install a rebuilt is not expensive.
Renting a car or using Uber for a few days is also not that expensive.

It means the car is shit to drive on the road.

cars are one giant pissing contest, and for some reason that garbage heap of a track is the king

only if you track your car

>>17484681
We can look at 40 years of statistics or russian dashcams but where's the fun in that?

Your parents drove shitfaced all the time, your grandparents drove shitfaced most the time and yet you're still here so it can't be that bad.

my friends aunt was killed by a drunk driver. the entitled fucks family was so salty he was going to jail that they kept taking down the shrine my friends family set up on the side of the road.

True.

no they wont? it's not that great

>>17484447
Still wont be as good as a fiST or a miata

what do you mean by weekend fun car?

getting together with the boys to drive to hooters half drunk and watch sportsball? sure

Good car like all gm

those things are awful

even the later 3800SC fwd models are better

Sure sounds like it. I'd use a multimeter and see if there are any broken connections from the cables going out of the ignition cylinder/switch to the starter relay

Do any interior lights light up? Can you hear the fuel pump priming?

>>17484174
It's a manual fuel pump so I don't think it does that. And yes, a few of the interior lights that do work do come on

>>17484170
Ok I'm glad I'm on the right track at least. I'll try that and see what happens

>>17483672
Pls

Enjoy getting more use out of the starter motor instead of the rotary.

Here's a quick rundown on maintenance.

>>17483200
From what i understand the Chrysler Hemi hasn't been updated in a long time so it doesn't feature the technology of Chevy V8s which now have variable valve timing or something else that wasn't on engines like these before.

Its a shame though since the Hemi was once a potent engines with its own advantages from other OHV engines. its unknown how they'd be if properly updated.

Viper engine on the other hand i think that has been getting updated over the years and in one production application would've saw it making 740 HP naturally aspirated (although the car it was going to be in was canned because of regulation changes regarding chassis design).

It always pains me when good engines never get put in mid-engine cars. Ford has a mid engine car but they don't want to use their own V8s. last mid-engine car Chrysler made got canned by their parent company (me4-12) so the chances of the Viper engine (which is still good for meeting emissions) going in anything mid-engine is slim to none.

All i can do is hope some Euro manufacturer comes along and gives us a lightweight-mid mounted Viper like TVR is giving us the Ford V8 powered sports car Ford themselves wont.

>>17483200
Poorfags can't afford crate HEMIs so they use LSs instead. I never understood cross-brand engine swaps. I always see it as a red flag.

>>17483200
The LS/LT family is not only less expensive, but it has more aftermarket and parts swapping as well as being better bang for the buck.

If it works, it works.

If you hear the ticking when it's running one of those plugs is preparing to leave its home for bigger better things

The 5.4 is a piece of garbage. My dad had one for a while and did so much engine work he still has nightmares about having to fix it. So I'd advise the 4.6 if you can.

why are you and every other millenial completely unaware of temp agencies? there is nothing better you can do, i really doubt Dominos is giving you benefits anyway

What mpg you get?

>>17482197
Temp agencies? Anyways, I've tried a recruiting agency and it's about a month now and they have yet to get back to me. I don't work for Dominos, it's a local pizza place. And we don't have tipping in Australia so I'll be getting about $18/hr.

>>17482200
I have no idea, and I don't know how to find out. I guess I get about 300-350km out of a full tank?

Oh yeah also the car currently has 30,800km on it, and I wanna try to make it last as long as possible. I've already driver 5,000km since buying it back in April and apparently the amount I've driver is too much for such a short period of time.

I use my gun to make my friend figure out how to clean that shit

>>17481914
I only allow people who are potty trained in my car.

I use my retarded friend's wallet to clean ore replace the seat.

Call tow truck
