If you mean a full blown detail such as outside, inside, and engine bay... then twice a year.

What upcoming carbtech are you looking forward to?

For me it's either Freevalve or infiniti's variable compression.

Freevalve. Electronically controlled valves rather than cams bruh.

I want someone to make a hybrid running on weber carbs

what does /o/ think of the newer miatas? I've seen a lot of people on here who love the 90's and early 2000s models but never any love for this year. Why? Is it shit? Tell me more about this car.

Objectively better than the NA and NB
>>
NB => ND >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NC >>> NA

The NC isn't really a bad car, but it's a bad feelsy, light sports car and there's way better options for the price. The NB itself is a direct upgrade over the NA including weight and handling, "muh popups" isn't an argument.

NA and NC fanboys will vehemently defend their cars, but the NA is just the result of poorfaggotry/falling for memes and the NC is a lack of research and car knowledge.

My grandpa is getting up their in age and has asked me to clean out some of the storage units he had so the family doesn't have to deal with a clusterfuck of crap when he dies. I knew he hoarded quite a few cars, but this one was a surprise. It took me hours to figure out what kind of car it is, and I honestly thought I was getting memed on when I figured out what it was, a GAZ 14 Chaika.

I have no idea how he got it in the US and he doesn't even remember it, but the title I found for it today does appear to be legit and in his name. I think it's a pretty cool car and he said I was welcome to it, but my question is would parts for a Soviet Union era car even exist anymore? Probably not, right?

Pic semi related, exactly like it but the one I'm dealing with still has a bunch of junk on top of it

Definitely going to be difficult to find stuff for it. Parts availability is going to be just as difficult as trusting a track suited Russian in following through with sending the parts on top of it.
>>
>>16742483

Russians love selling their old useless shit to the U.S. you just have to use regular good business sense and not get scammed.
>>
>>16742442
You're probably gonna find it difficult to get parts in because of sanctions, I've had shipments from Russia get stopped at port.
A skilled machinist and a resourceful chap could get over most of the hurdles quite easily though anyway.

Car used to stall but it was a clogged throttle plate. Cleared that out but wtf

>Drive back home
>Stall once more and then just rev at stops to keep the rpm above 2k
>Smell gas
>Check underneath and its dripping gas like hell

It's one of the hoses. How fucked am I? How much should I expect to have to pay to get it fixed? How difficult is it to fix yourself?

If you did the work yourself, not much. Probably a gasket or a line needs replacing.

Almost anyone can be a YouTube mechanic, or even learn from a forum.

1994 ford exploder. at the time i paid $6500 for it probably late 90s. it was the fucking worst. some fat man had been driving it so there was no padding in the left side of the seat so if you opened the door you just slide out but not in a cool way. in a way like the dukes of hazzard pulled up and instead of jumping out the window they just fell on the ground. constantly smelling exhaust fumes in the cab. repairs were worse than a new car payment.

I just bought a Honda CBR 500r, it's my first bike.
I want to one day ride those 1000cc bikes, but with the skill required not to kill myself or someone else.

Anyone got tips on how not to be a squid and evolve into some MotoGP skills?

Sounds good. With the exception that she's buying a Dodge.

What cars are the most feminine?

Rules:
>inb4 "cars are for all genders"
>can't be mommy-van (too easy)
>feminine does not mean faggy cars
>just cuz a car is in pink doesn't make it feminine
>easy to drive cuz girls aren't into track type shit
>can't be noisy cuz girls get headaches often
>has to look good cuz that's 99% of why a girl likes a car

My pick is the Miata

Can these car parts tell you anything about the hit-and-run drunk driver behind them?

Probably not, but this is what I'm dealing with. Cops aren't that interested, since no one was killed.
