Do any of you goyim do mechanic work on your car? Ever relplaced a brake booster?
I have a first gen Boxster that needs a replacement brake booster. None of the mechanics around my area want to touch it because they don't know what to do. The Porsche dealership said they would do it but they want to charge $650.
I'm thinking I should just follow a YouTube video and do it myself. Doesn't look too hard.
My only concern is, do I have to bleed the brakes if I'm only replacing the brake booster and not the master cylinder?
Any other words of advice would be appreciated.
Any time you're opening the brake system, you should bleed your brakes. You're probably due for entirely new fluid anyway.

I already have the part and this is the video I'll be using as a guide

That seems like the hardest part.
>>17206818
Most cars will have enough slack in the brake lines so you can replace the booster without disconnecting the master cylinder. Perhaps you can unbolt the MC and gently push it out far enough for the clearance you need to remove the booster. Just go easy and don't crimp either brake line.
Still a good idea to replace all the fluid when doing any brake work if the fluid is more than a year or so old. There's lots of ways to get this done. Google
"gravity brake bleed"
"pressure brake bleed"
"one-man brake bleed"
"two-man brake bleed"
I usually start with a gravity bleed, then have someone pump and hold the pedal for a final bleed.

im 6'7" and i know for a fact i dont fit in a c7, were c6s roomier?
Id be more worried by the fact you seem to be about one month behind everyone else on this timeline.
2005 mustang gt
It LITERALLY will not start period. It worked JUST fine yesterday and showed no problems of not starting what so ever.
>battery is good
>connections are all there
>nothing is loose
the fuck could it be? I hear the fuel pump kicking in but it won't make ANY sound when I turn it on. I don't hear any sound coming from the starter whatsoever as well.
>>17205692
Battery voltage?
Not even a click?
Have you checked the starter relay?
>>17205692
Did you try plugging it in?

Would it be possible to convert an impreza wagon to a normal impreza?
Stop Jon
>>17204172
It's just a weird thought spinning through my mind
>>17204182
Possible?
yeah probably
Practical?
not in the slightest

slower than a $30k vette lolol
>>17203547
The catch is that it is modified. The price they are asking for is market value believe it or not. I saw a mint 09 GT-R here going for $60k, but the dude had made a bunch of meme modifications to it to bring the hp up to 680~ish. Only had like 15 miles on it too
Yo, post the most fun driving games in here. And no, I don't mean best, I don't mean realistic, I don't mean most high def, I mean most fun. And, no, FUCK your /ovg/.
Post 'em up. Let's get some feels up in here.

Midnight Club 3.
The lurid paint jobs, the disregard for physics, and the sheer absurdity of the special abilities.
Muscle cars got to the point where my Camaro went everywhere sideways in a blur of light reflected off the metallic silver paintwork with gold flames, with a constant bow wave of street furniture and small cars.
what car that feels fun and fast without going over the speed limit?
>>17201414
if a car feels fast w/o going fast then you are delusional.
keep in mind that speed limits were set a long time ago, when cars (suspension/brakes/tires/whaterver) sucked.
How the fuck did this guy steal this car so fast? He gets it started within like 20 seconds of getting in. Pretty good chase too.

Im also curious how he did that OP, hot wiring is a meme, so im confused? I know that shaved keys are a thing, but only for older cars, and only certain makes. So idk
>>17153623
Probably slide-hammered the lock cylinder and used a screwdriver to turn the switch.
>I bet you he's got more than a 100k under the hood of that car
Realistically, how much money can you put into a s2k?
>>17209597
As much as you want
Pretty sure you can build a full s2k race motor (with NOS BRO) for under 30k with no problem. Then again a stock s2k with a fat guy driving could still beat a jetta
You could probably fit quite a bit of cash in the glove box
Is it possible to build a (reciprocating) internal combustion engine supersonic car?
Doubt it otherwise it would of been built by now. ICE's don't have the top end grunt needed to go that fast which is why planes don't use them either.
The wheel driven record is held by a GM powered car.
perhaps
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_T80
they had a speed target of 750km/h back in 1939, too bad it was never run.
>>17208770
>439mph on 368cui
Should be supersonic running 642 cui or more, and tonnes of shops make them that size over the country
>that emasculating feel as you walk to your tiny base model econobox that is parked by itself so of course no other plebians dent the doors but it still looks so tiny and weak and makes it impossible to feel connected to it

that's not a positive in a shit econobox, faggot. it just means you're too poor/cheap to buy an automatic.
