Hello /o,
so last evening I went into a discussion with some friends about checking engine oil.
A friend said that engine must be fully warmed, then stopped and check the oil after 20 - 30 minutes or so, that way the oil goes into the pan yet it's still warm, because heat volume expansion and whatnot.
Another friend said that he checks engine oil in the morning, cold engine after a night or whenever the car still for a reasonable amount of hours so the oil is "absolutely into the friggin pan to the last drop".
Who's right in the matter? What's your stance in checking engine oil? Thanks.
I'd measure it cold because you don't put it in warm do you, you friggin' flopperdoodle
The debate is whether or not to check it when its cold or warm, not really by quantity that is in the oil pan. Think about the way the rating works 5W-20 e.g. You have an SAE 5 viscosity rating when its cold and an SAE 20 viscosity rating at operating temperature.
As the oil ages, it beings to lose its ability to maintain that viscosity - this becomes particularly important when the engine is cold, because that is when the oil will most the least freely around your engine. During this warm-up time, if your engine oil is too old, some components may get oil starved.
So checking the health of your oil when it is cold seems the most paramount to me.

Hello, let's say I can get a used Ford Focus early 2000, 100cv engine.
If I wanted to build a rally car out of it, not WRC level, would it be ok? or should I look for a more powerful engine?
>>17339214
Depends
Many people rally on low power engines just find, just dont be out of your league when you go to compete
Also, make sure its the right car, manual trans, etc. For a entry level recreational rally car, should be fine. Just put a better ebrake setup and some good seats, strip the interior and a cage to pass tech
>>17339214
>FWD
>>17339225
yes it's manual.
I'm worried about all the suspension stuff, I'd compete only in rallies on roads, not off road ones.
why is motor sport so fucking boring now? why the fuck are there more than 2 genders? why is every car a plastic soap bar? why can't i watch people in 700hp death traps slide around? what the fuck happened /o/?
>>17339137
>why the fuck are there more than 2 genders
you seriously cant believe in this bullshit. do you?
Because people die in your sport you get sued
>>17339146
This. People are too pussy now because everyone's looking to sue.
Should I buy a Miata, an RX-8, or not bother hauling it the 2000 miles home?
>>17338727
do you want to look like a fag, do you want to have a bomb for an engine, or not bother?
>car that is fun to drive, light weight, and has parts widely available almost everywhere to the point you could probably rebuild it in an autozone parking lot
vs
>car that is fun to drive, looks ok, but is known for unreliable engine
Buying a classic red 2001 tonight boys, get hype.
>take vacation in america
>pull in to fill up rental car
>guy walks up and tells me I have to let him do it
>literally just takes my card and stands around as it fills up
>receipt has tip added
>vacationing in new jersey
>>17337993
New Jersey isn't America.
Neither is the West Coast.
>>17338003
Oregon actually.
I'm considering to get a Hyundai veloster as my next car, unfortunately my budget isn't high enough to get a turbo. Is this ok or shall I consider something different
>>17337414
IT A HYUNDAI
>>17337414
Get something else
Civic
Corolla
Mazda3
>>17337444
or even an 86 with a turbo kit is better (that's all the power you REALLY need)
Does Nissan deserve to die?
Yes. So I stop shitting my pants every time one pulls up to me at a light and I think my engine is ticking and knocking to death when It's just the Nissan that rolled up. Do they use fucking cheese as exhaust gaskets or something?
really says something when a mini and fiat are above a nissan
what bother me is how much they dont care about the sport things anymore

Looking for a vehicle to haul a lot of lightweight, bulky cargo. It might make several cross country trips a year, as well as some longer trips within california.
The two vehicles I am looking into right now are the Ford Transit Connect with the 2.5l I4, and the 2011 Dodge Caravan with the 3.6l V6. They are both available for under 10k on my local craigslist. However, I don't have long term experience with either of these. Does anyone have experience with high mileage on these? or any other suggestions?
I have ruled out a Ford E van due to fuel economy on the gas powered ones, and the fact that the steering deadzone on them fucking terrifies me.
>>17337026
what do you haul? post your local craigslist. is this tax deductible?
>within california
Step 1: get out of California
>>17338473
And what exactly would that change, you butthurt redneck?
>driving home from work
>sitting at red light
>unmarked Charger behind me puts his lights on
>drives around me into the left turn lane
>runs red and goes back into my lane, immediately turns lights off
>light turns green half a second later
>go to next red light
>faggot does it again
>green half a second later again
>this goes on for 3-4 intersections before there's finally someone sitting in the left lane
>light turns green
>speeds off and finally turns right somewhere before disappearing out of view
>never used his turn signal
>he will never be ticketed or reprimanded for this
>if I did the same shit I'd lose my license
>tfw the world isn't fair
ruined my fucking day
Oh, give him a break. He was just late for meeting up with the side bitch
>25MPH speed limit all around town
>cops regularly doing 10-15 over with no repercussions

Is your city broke and in need of revenue?
Do you live in the salt belt /o/? If so how do you deal with your car being eaten alive from underneath?
>>17335624
Get a few oil leaks on your car. Don't fix 'em. Just keep adding oil.
>>17335624
I just don't look under there so I can pretend it doesn't exist
Buy shitty beaters for the winter only. Drive nice cars other times of year
Only buy well galvanized cars.
Buying this car tomorrow for 1K. 2005 Impreza Outback 5 speed with 140k on it. Did I do good /o/?
>>17334883
Can't believe it runs with 140k miles! If it lasts you a year, it's already worth $1k
>>17334883
Did you drive it first?

You are now aware of what the best car in existence is.
>>17334596
That's one ugly fucking ugly attempt at an F40 update.
Ferrari wanted to try and recreate that success and like a Video Game Sequel which may have updated graphics and newer features the formula itself didn't transition too well into a later time.
>>17334596
Summer sucks
probably some honda subcompact that you can beat the shit out of for 100,000k as still see some return in resale.
what engine is this?
Subaru i6.
>>17333827
V8 engine.
>>17333827
4age i'd assume?
