I'm looking at buying an Audi and one of the options say "cabin heater/fan" with no more info. Do they mean an engine heater that you plug in with a cord or just one of those things that make your car heat up faster after starting it? Or does it run off the battery and make the cabin actually warm before getting in?

Is is possible? Would it be cheaper than maintenance and repair on the stock motor?

The sr20 is lucky to last 100k and parts are really hard to find compared to a 1980s porsche.
The only reason people use them is because some of them have a fucking kangaroo on the crank girdle which adds 100hp.

You can put any engine in any car. All that matters is how much time and money you want to sink into it.
Does anyone know to get your car stanced and modified and etc?

So I need to get a new car since my 1995 Acura Legend is giving me problems, the radio barely works, the previous owner bypassed the heater core because it probably is leaking and the sunroof is leaking (I'll fix it next week I found out how)
Anyways I'm looking into crossovers because I enjoy higher ride heights, I'm tired of being shorter than a teenage girl while driving sedans and such. So I took a look at the best in the class (non-luxury) and found that the best is the Hyundai whatever, Mazda CX-5, and the CR-V.
I test drove the CR-V in the EX trim with AWD and loved it: the same MPG as other sedans minus hybrids; AWD for snow and mud and shit; turbo with a quick enough engine to have me merge into the freeway and race to the next red light/stop sign; foldable rear seats for large cargo, I could go on
Its got an MSRP of 28k but I'm not paying anything more than the dealer invoice.
Long story short what do you guys think? Should I take a look at other crossovers or different trims on the CR-V or what?

>>16651599
Well ideally since you're just now getting rid of the Legend, you should pick what you enjoy driving the most. I personally find Hondas too mainstream.
Reason I suggested Outback is that it's one of the best AWD vehicles, and it's not a car everyone will have.
But the EX for that price is worth it compared to the Outback which is $32k for something similar I think

Normally a /k/ommando but I need some info Google isn't helping with. These types of engines? What are they called? Honda pit bikes and all the Chinese clones seem to use the same engine, lifan being the foremost. Is there like a family or class these engines are grouped into? Getting one for a Franken bike project I'm working on from a basket case kawasaki I got for 50 bucks. Thanks ahead of time

Also, the bike is a 1975 kawasaki km100 but the engine it had loosely sitting in the frame is a 100cc bridgestone, didn't know they made shit other than rubber. Looked it up apparently it's from a bridgestone bs100. Anyone know anything about the market for it? It's frozen up right now but sitting with pb blaster in hopes of at least getting it to turn. No pics of it alone but here it is in the bike

>>16651373
4 stroke. They're ohc as far as I'm seeing. From 50 to 150cc are the most common

On the highway, coming from campus heading to Indy, just driving for the sake of driving on the I74. Out of no where, the car shakes, and I see the traction control light on the dash. Shift into neutral, put hazards on and try to brake, because both the CEL and the oil light came up, followed by smoke coming from the rear (rear view mirror). Brakes were shot, so i pull to the side on the handbrake. Shut engine off, get out car and call a tow truck, thinking its nothing. Moments later the smoke coming out the hood changes density, and underneath the car is bright, we run away to the field nearby. Call 911 because the car was on fire. By the time they came, multiple people have stopped to see if we were doing okay, including an ex-cop just driving by.
So the car is burning at a rate, I've already lost my shit. Gone through 4-5 cigs in what felt like ages, all I can think of is if my friend is going to sue my ass, or if I'm going to get in trouble with the law. Firemen put the fire out, get the car on the tow truck and the towing dude takes it to the lot in case it re-ignites, then we go back on campus to talk to the owner (by then he already heard his car was burning). He goes, "do you know what caused it?" "I have no fucking clue" I say.
Turns out the car has been recalled, he got it fixed (the secondary air pump, 2009 WRX) but apparently that didn't do anything. From now on I'm on the clear legally, we're fine (not a scratch on me or her). The owner was having fun on campus when me and friend were driving; but it all turned out to be "okay" in terms of all the big stuff.
However I realized I have no fucking clue what to do in case something goes this south next time. All I could do was call 911, completely flipping shit to the point where my friend said she was more scared about me than the actual case.
I have no clue what to do in case *anything* happens. (1/2)

(sorry for the flipped picture btw, but its the car on the tow truck after it was all done)
I'm 18, from Turkey with a license that is not even a full year old. I've never had to deal with anything like this before, so I have no clue how to.
My question is, what are some things to do when in an emergency? I know shutting the engine off and getting away from the car was a thing to do, but I don't know if I should have done anything else, or if there was anything else.
If anyone can enlighten me so I don't fuck myself over next time that'd be great because although I'm over it I'm still kinda scared shitless. Won't affect if I'll drive or not (life goes on, had to drive the morning after) but I want to know what to do in case something goes VERY wrong.

Probably because a ute costs less than a pickup, and most people who buy pickups (to use, not as a status symbol) would be able to satisfy their needs with a ute. This would result in less profit for the manufacturer.
