what color is it?

What kind of car is it?

Its the easiest to paint it the same color tbqh.
>>
Go to a car meet. Find someone with a flawless paint job and ask where he got it done. Repeat several times so you have several options.

>How do you go about deciding what color
You gotta do some sould searching and let your heart guide you
>finding a good paint shop?
shop around your area and check prices, ask friends and family. every shop is different.

heater core.jpg

my car is a 09 honda accord 4 cylinder and it has little to no heat. i dont turn it on until the car is at operating temps. when i do all i get is warm air. but if i turn on the air recirculation button i do get a nice heat. without pressing the air recirculation button the current heat is dull.

i flushed out my heater core 3-4 years ago when i changed the coolant too. i thought the heater core was clogged but it wasnt. is there a scan tool that can tell me what is wrong when connected to the car? do i have to change the coolant again? please help

>>16585447
Well if you changed the coolant that long ago it's time for another change. Could be thermostat stuck closed or there might be a broken valve that allows water into the heater core.

>Could be thermostat stuck closed
my CEL would have came on if it was

>broken valve that allows water into the heater core

explain please

> coolant that long ago it's time for another change

okay! i thought coolant lasted for 100,000 miles or so. my honda only has 65,000. i think i changed it when it had around 40,000
>>
>>16585491
coolant should last 30-50k miles
if it's still bright green it's good
old bad fluid will be piss yellow

>broken valve
he means that if the valve that lets hot coolant into the heater core isn't working you won't get heat
some vehicles have strange proprietary core designs that don't use valves or have integrated thermostats however
volvo and ford come to mind

it could also be a broken blend door or actuator

What does /o/ think about the Lexus SC400?

I found a 1996 SC400 with only 75,000 miles. The guy wants 7 grand, he says its well maintained and has all receipts for work. The interior looks to be in really good condition and it looks stock. Is this a good price? I'm going to see it on Wednesday, what issues should I be on the look out for?

Fat guy can't get in and out of his car like a normal person but doesn't have the mental strength to criticise himself. That's all that's happening here but yet again society says that you an't be mean, even if you're right.

>>16583755
>who was in the wrong here
They offered a bumper-to-bumper warranty and didn't anticipate everything so its their fault. Super bad public relations move. The bad press they'll get from this will cost a lot more than the repair itself. Now poor fatties will have to buy kia.

What is it mechanically inside the car that makes the ricer sounds? What shape exhaust do you need, what do you have to do to the engine to make it sound like the trademark leafblower?

Low displacement, high compression and a lack of an exhaust usually makes that stereotypical raspy ricey noise. Honda makes the worst ricey-ist sounding engine.
>>
High strung fourbanger with a huge volume muffler for extra deep fart reverb.
>>
cheap straight through mufflers and open exhausts are what make the sound

even something like an Iron Dookie can sound like a ricer if you do the exhaust like that

I want to buy this car /o/.

What do?

https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/5957045998.html


The only issue is, I've only got $350 in the bank.

And I have no credit score because I've never had anything to pay off.

I tried applying for vehicle loans and person loans online on several Reccamended sites (I didn't figure I'd get something great but I figured I would look). However not a single one would give me even a deal with like high apr or something.
Would've been willing to pay like $250 -$350 a month total desu

(get paid around $1100 monthly).

Don't really know anybody with money I could borrow from.

So I figure I'm shit out of luck and I'll have to wait to look at other shit till I save up some.

But I figured I'd see if you guys had any ideas because I dig this car

Though I imagine you could drop the price by about a grand or so

No credit, you're fucked. It's overpriced anyways.

5 seconds on craigslist.

http://kpr.craigslist.org/cto/5971231905.html

You don't make enough to finance a car. Don't do it. Save your money to buy something if you want. It won't take that long and you'll save yourself a dick load of headache.

HOWEVER

Take $500, go to a credit union in the seattle area. No idea who the fuck is up there, I'm on the east side. Get a secured credit card. Use this to put gas in car then pay it off immediately. In a year, you'll have good enough credit to buy whatever you want.
>>
>>16581246
lmao

save money and buy something that's less of a shitbox
>>
>>16581255
Yeah I figured it was overpriced but it's got everything I want in a car so I'm willing to make the difference (if I was able anyway lol)

And that is what I figured

I don't make enough you're right
But I also only have $200 in expenses per month

So I got money to spend.
Wouldn't be willing to do a loan if I didn't think I'd have the cash to pay it off every month

I like not having debt

But I also like the car lol

And thanks for the secured credit card advice

I'll look into that

Might be worth it


I guess saving up it is

Guys, I'm having a hell of a time removing dog fur from the back carpeted area of a station wagon I was given.

I tried a rubber removal tool, rubber glove, and a pumice stone. It removed a lot but there is still quite a bit of fur stuck in the carpet. It just won't come loose. You can grab a strand of fur, pull it, and it has almost as much resistance as pulling a hair out of your scalp. Its like it took root or something.

I can remove it from the seats but the carpet is being a pain in the ass. Any detailers here with suggestions?

steam clean it?
the steam should open the pores in the carpet to release hairs

how about the carpet cleaners auto zone sells? that usually foam up and you brush afterwards
>>
>>16585402
>steam clean
That's what I was thinking.

Should I just try a steamer and scrubbing by hand or actually go rent an upholstery steam cleaner?
>>
>>16585425
mayeb you should just pay somebody to do it. i looked up the price of a steam cleaner and they are quite expensive

What's the logic behind prohibiting turbos? There's plenty of cars with only modest power even with a turbo.
Why not make legislation based on horsepower?

hey first time on this board here. Someone got me this led thing for my car on christmas but I have no idea what the hell i'm supposed to do with it. As far as i've been able to find it's supposed to go into a little controller that in turn gets plugged into the fuse box on the car.
Am I in the right direction or really off here?
