How important is it to replace a torn air intake hose? How easy is it to replace? Can I just tape it up?
I just discovered I have a torn air intake hose on my 99 Honda Accord. What do?

Tape it up, see what happens. I think it should work.
>>
>>17255088
Yeah I would tape it up good, but get it replaced when you can
It's a Honda so shouldn't be too bad to buy and replace yourself if you're up for it

my motorcycle would not idle with its torn, and its carbed.

Having overheating problems on my 12v cummins. when it's 80+ out it starts to climb in temp. It mostly climbs when I'm driving but cools down when I'm at or coming to a stop. The radiator boiled over a little today when it was 98F out, but not the reservoir. It got to 210. Installed a new radiator, water pump, tstat, and radiator cap in December. When it's below 80 the temp gauge will never go past 160. Pfa

Too lean? How are the injectors? Dirty as fuck probably. How old are yerrr spark plugz? faulty Diesel glow plugs can make them run hottttt
>>
Injectors are new. They are much bigger than stock but egts are always below 900. No glow plugs in cummins. In hot weather such as today the engine gets warm fast. Within a 15min drive it got to 200. Fan clutch is good. Why is it climbing temp when I drive and cooling when I come to a stop?
>>
idk, make the thermostat stay open? What tells the water pump to start pumping?
Clogged heater core and needs airflow?

06 DC5 owner here. 99% sure my Throw out Bearing is bad. I haven't the tools to do it myself, how much is this gonna fuck my wallet? 1k-1.5k?
Alternatively, if I have never done a clutch before, is it advisable to jump in? I've only ever done smaller maintenence/repair items like suspension/axles.

How many miles? Might as well get whole new clutch kit. I'd say 4-500 for labor

If you don't know some of the tools you'd need to replace a clutch you probably don't know how to replace the clutch at all. Take it to a mechanic

Recently I've heard supercars mentioned as viable investments but I don't see how any of that shit makes sense.
They showed some guy with a fleet full of newish Aston Martins and Lamborghinis like those were supposed to hold their value. In reality, most of those are easily going to depreciate to somewhere between 1% and 5% of their value within 30-40 years. (I know, I'm pulling those numbers out my ass and they should be taken with a grain of salt). Only a small fraction of them will ever go up in value, that's if you're lucky enough to have guessed which models will eventually develop a cult following. And even that's hardly a guarantee.

Only special snowflake limited production exotics appreciate. A 458 will be worth dick all if you stick it in a garage for 20 years, There's too many made. All your going to be left with is puddles of fluids on the floor as your seals rot away.

Is there anything to know about driving vehicles that have a lot of horsepower? I see all these fail videos where people just try to do a burnout or floor it and can't even keep it in a straight line. Are these people just that dumb or what? At what HP does a vehicle become difficult to drive if you are inexperienced? I have never driven anything with more than 275HP and I was thinking of buying a high 400HP range engine. Basically don't floor it or do any dumb shit and it's no different than anything else right?

What's the best realistic (read middle class) car combination?
>DD: An old beater which you can abuse and don't mind scratching the paint and stuff (Example: an old Corolla, civic, etc)
>Weekend/track car: A newish sports car (ND, boxster, etc)
or
>DD: Newish car with all the modern amenities (New civic, crosstech, etc)
>Weekend/track car: A project car (probably from the 90's) with the sole function of fun driving (MR2, 86, miatas, etc)

Why not two shit heaps.
DD boring 30-50mpg POS car
Build cheap track car with lots of power that you wont cry over when you total it.
All the money saved can go into making the track car super fast. Just dont ever track a new car, its fucking retarded unless you have money to soend when you total it.

This really depends on you.
Personally I prefer #2.

Make ~50k. I have a 2009 mazdaspeed 3 as my daily and a 350z streetable track/weekend car. It works well because insurance on both is very cheap (135/month combined for full coverage) and aftermarket support for the z has gotten cheaper and more abundant over the years. Plus the ms3 has enough power to not feel pathetic while dd.
I hate the stigma that comes from "car guys" about the z but I normally don't have to deal with that because I went for a sleeper look. No stanced bullshit, crazy wrap or giant wing. Kinda hard to cover a giant intercooler though.

You have a double din space in there?
And yeah, why not? Unless you can do the repairs yourself, make sure the seller has it tested and says it's working so when it doesn't you can drop a shit review and/or demand money back.

YES
and post pics of car

Yeah I don't have the older single din model so I can fit two.

Hell/o/ I'm looking for some help here. Novice wrencher, hate me for trying to work on my car, etc.
So I'm doing a clutch job on my '98 200sx (sentra) with the 1.6l GA engine. I'm having a lot of trouble removing the cv axles. On the passenger side, the axle is already loose (pic related) but on the driver side its still firmly in there. I have a feeling it's something simple that my lack of experience is preventing me from figuring out. Do I have to remove the control arm from the hub?
I have the factory service manual for my car, and have read the "front axle / suspension" part that explains removal of the axle, but I think it expects somebody that's reading it to have more knowledge than I do.
One thing the manual says is that i should unbolt the hub from the strut tower at the end, which in the picture is clearly not the case. It's not very hard to put those bolts back in, so I can do it if necessary but if anyone has any experience with this car I'd appreciate any help I can get. This has been a project I thought I could tackle mostly solo and this is my first roadblock.
Hoping to get some good feedback (lol)
TLDR help me work on my car

Hit the end of the drive shaft with a big fucking hammer, it'll break free and pop out
Also, penetrating oil helps

I already hit it a couple times with a rubber mallet pretty damn hard, is there any danger of damaging the tranny if I keep smacking it?
I'm planning on replacing the axles anyway so I don't care about these ones but I just can't afford to fuck this up.
Also, does anyone have any idea how to get that nut out from under the cv boot? I already took out the cotter pin but the fucker won't budge, and I don't have any space to put a ratchet and a breaker bar with the boot in the way.

Should've paid a professional. Stick to brakes and oil. You're just going to fuck it up.
