am I racist if I don't want to buy a car from a spanish person? like I saw a nice miata at a good price but opening the ad and reading spanish was such a hard nope, now I feel weird
I never sell anything to beaners, they always show up with $300 less than the agreed price.
>I got $1200 CASH man
>Yeah and we agreed on $1500
>Yeah but it's CASH
Like I was expecting to be paid in $1500 worth of oranges and dent removal.
>>16568518
No, you're not a racist, you're sensible. There's no reason you'd expect a car being sold in an english speaking country by a person who doesn't bother to learn english to be anything other than a neglected pile of shit.

HOW DO I FIX THIS
>>16568089
What car do you have
>>16568100
Not the one pictured anymore but what kind of car doesn't matter. It's a five speed.
>>16568114
if the redline is high (read : Honda) then potentially you didn't over-rev the engine

Hey what's up guys. So lookin for a bit of knowledge. Have a 2002 c240 mercedes. Battery is having issues
Won't turn on without a jump
But the battery seems to be good and measuring well. I am wondering do you think it may be a bad connection with the terminals or is it just dead
I've got a trickle charger on there reconditioning the battery right now hoping that may solve this
. The electrical in the car will turn on it just won't turn over when I try to start
Anyways I am a bit of a car noob so any help is appreciated.
If all the electrics are working and it just doesn't crank over I'd say you have a bad alternator or coils
>>16568069
Did you get the starting and charging system checked or did you just check the battery voltage with a multimeter? A battery could test ok with voltage but not be able to supply enough current to start the car.
>>16568094
I just checked it with a trickle charger . See it will start up fine with jump but as soon as I turn it off it won't turn on again without a jump even if been driven for a while
I don't think it's the alternator because the car computer will tell me if it is with the sensors and display.
I heard that polishing the battery terminal posts could help because maybe the connection isn't good enough due to build up. That's what I am going to try next but any Input helps. Thx again

Weather looks good for my enduro race next weekend, not a day above freezing, and a bit of snow, perfect conditions, track should be nice and frozen.
Grand Am is all ready for the 4 cyl class, Sebring is about half done for the v6 class, and the Seville is all ready for the v8 class
>your car > whores
Correct.

Kind of. Not road bikes though. Dirt jump and I'm getting a new BMX this year. I really want to get back into that. No pics on this computer though
I just chuck mine in the boot, don't even need to take anything off.
is crankwalk a meme or should i stay away from these cars?
>>16567812
Not a meme, very solvable if you know how to disable the clutch press to start.
Otherwise, get a new 4G63.

What's a decent starting budget to get into autocross/rally without a car you own?
Forza is about what...50-60 bucks?
>>16567016
1400 euros for rally
$50 for one day of SCCA rallycross and ask a buddy to borrow his car. Offer him $50 for the day. Bada bing bada boom you're racing kid.

Hey /o/ I need a lot of help right now, my car has started to develop what I can only describe as the same sound an agngle grinder makes when cutting through through metal at 1900-2200rpm. I need to know if its a death rattle or something you can help me fix, I appreciate any help and will post pics if needed. The car is a 1997 Toyota Celica SX 2.0 manual shitbox, but I love it please /o/
>>16563181
Gonna need a little more info there sport...does it make the noise when idling? Or when your driving? Only at certain speeds? When you are slowing down?
Ya gotta throw us a bone here dude...
While idling at 1.9-2.2krpm, all gears, any speed
>>16563230
*not just at idling sorry
If my driveway is a on a slope. enough that it rolls off it, am I allowed to just keep it in 1st or R, have the clutch in and just let the car roll off naturally to get out?
NEIN
>Daily reminder
Why are manual transmissions such a mystery to people? Did you ever ride a dirt bike as a kid?
