What is wrong with my shit and how do I fix it? Because the people who "repaired" it are clearly incompetent.
>>16723678
Have you tried... you know... looking at it?
Fuel should be in the tank, hoses, and carb.
If its outside these things it will be obvious and you should be able to repair it.
>>16723698
I don't know the first thing about autorepair, but everything looks fine from a noob's perspective.

Gated or traditional?

gated is cool until your tranny wears out and the shift pattern changes

It looks nice but holy fuck you do not want to own one of those.

What would cause a car made in '94 to pump four times the limit of CO2? It's not the catalytic converter.
>>16707120
timing
>>16707120
Low compression
>>16707120
Timing, plugs, fuel pressure... basically anything related to A/F ratio, high co2 means you're running rich
Anyone know any good places to work on your car? I can't do it at my residence because the management is a bunch of retards with their heads up their asses. I would go to an auto parts store but my city has an ordinance banning that too, and I need to change my coolant, but driving anywhere would pressurize the cooling system.
>why do you even live there
Because I'm a fucking poorfag and can't afford to live anywhere else, but that also means I can't afford to pay someone else to work on my car, nor do I want anyone else touching it either. Especially since I already have all the necessary tools and skills to do it.
>>16724909
I go do all my maintenance and repairs at work or a friends house
See if you can rent a storage shed somewhere that doesn't mind you doing auto work. I have a storage unit I keep and work in my bikes, spoke to the owner and he was cool with it. Unit has power also, $180 a month.
Mall parking lot?
Where the fuck is your car even located?
Also why the fuck would you ask this question if you can't drive it anywhere.
I just do it at graveyard. Nobody fucking minds it.

People who own a car newer then 2000 are fucking morons. 1995 - 99 was the golden age of the automobile.
I'll just sit pretty with my 96 civic DX, does everything I need and I laugh at people who buy new CVT civics and accords. Better off buying an old manual 6th or 7th gen.

Some of us don't want to be poor forever.
Some of us want a new car so they won't have to replace piston rings and timing belts on your shit box d16y7

HUMONGOUS GRAGON DILDOS MY MAN
Used gasser Sierra Denali. They're super nice and the lq4 is the shit
Hey /o/, I have a manual trans 2003 ford focus with 133k miles and the clutch is slipping, looks like it'll cost somewhere between $800-$900 to replace. I'm conflicted between replacing it or using a retirement program California has where I can get $1500 for turning it in, but what if I get a used car and it has some problem that's going to cost hundreds? Any advice as to what I should do?
>>16723496
>133k miles
just replace the fucking clutch
>>16723500
I was leaning towards that, I'm just concerned some problem with the engine will pop up in like 6 months. Same thing could happen with a used car though, so I guess I'm just conflicted between repairing this or using the $1500 for a down payment on a new car. I think you're right though, 133k doesn't seem like that much.
>>16723511
Just fix it. Another shitbox comes with new problems. Stop worrying about spending more than its worth.
5267lb truck.

Thanks GM.
mfw Gen IV LS engine in heavyfuck vehicle just waiting for some love paired with anemic transmission.
So what do I do, build a 4L80E and perform the fuckery needed to have it work with the current ECM.
Risk one of the janky 6L80E kits for a notoriously hard to tune, still weaksauce transmission
Rip all the wiring out of a modern vehicle, bolt a TH400 to my block and carb the cocksucker.
>>16723394
less power than the ford raptor
>>16723394
Transmission torque ratings are dependent on the weight of the vehicle they're in and the amount of grip it has. Stick that transmission in a Daihatsu Charade and it'll hold a million billion horsepowers.
The solution is simple: make your truck lighter.

How come there is never any discussion of snowmobiles on /o/ seems like it would fit great here especially vintage sleds.
>why isn't something rare, niche and not ever seen by 90% of people discussed as much as something everyone in every industrialised nation has come into contact with
Thanks for playing
>>16721814
True, but still an interesting topic nonetheless from fixing them yourself or to just riding
>>16721807
>>16721819
Are they really far from a bike?
I don't know much about snowmobiles but for me it is a kind of scooter with skis on the front and a thread in the back, no?
Give me 1 reason why people should have a drivers license over 70.
Elderly drivers are way more dangerous then even texting teenagers.
>old ass lady comes into my work because she's trying to blow though all her money before she dies and she thinks of me as her grandson
>sweet old lady but older then fuck (89) and should be in a nursing home
>feel twice in the parking lot in the last year
>yesterday side swiped a light pole in the parking lot and kept driving
At VERY LEAST they should be required to retake the drivers test every 2-5 years.
I would bet my life savings more then half wouldn't pass
>>16721589
100% agree on stricter, frequent tests once you hit 65 or so. Actual ability will depend on the person, not on amount of time passed since they were born
Senior licence starts at 80 and must be taken every two years.
