Maybe more people will pay attention to WRC if the cars were derived from more interesting or exotic cars rather than economy shitboxes.

>>16519986
they just share the name and some visual feature it's not the same car at all

>similar to the road car
Name one person willing to spend $300,000 on a road going hatchback

I'll wait.

If you want road going rally cars, the WRC has that with Group N. They all race at the same event.

Probably a coincidence. I don't know what you mean by filter in your brake reservoir though, there's no filter in your brake system. Unless you mean a random plastic thing that was underneath the actual cap. But if you fluid was straight black it was dirty so this may have been bound to happen anyway. Also what caused the lock-up? If it was the caliper piston locking up then you definitely needed to do more than a full bleed. If your sliders locked up then no amount of brake bleeding could have prevented it anyways, it's a completely different system.

>>16544963
I'm not sure if it was the piston or not.

>>16544963
That rotor also looks like your pads completely gone, my guess is your sliders froze, this caused one brake pad to wear more than the other then metal on metal contact happened once the pad wore away and that's when you noticed it.

5$, elm327 bluetooth adapter.

>>16544596
How about fixing the fucking problem?

>>16544603
Not this. Get the Bafx Bluetooth obd2 adapter on Amazon and torque pro for your Android phone

There is a 6 speed manual. There is also a 6 speed automatic.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kia_Forte#Powertrains

"shiftable automatic" it's just a normal automatic.

>>16544558
If you buy that I will come kill you.

It's a shit car. Just get a civic for 3k.

What's wrong with the tale and wheels

The dealer and licenced shops.

>>16544205
You are so dumb.

>>16544205
are you fucking stupid? there's exotic car dealers, which strangely also have service departments. huh. how bout that

You should just get that shit fixed, Anon.

Using engine braking and the handbrake is okay, but your brakes are there for a very good reason.

>>16544098
yeah i will but in the meantime it be ok? works quite well actually :D

Another car to replace your current one or are you getting a second one?

Probably spark cut, so you'll see it spit flames from the unburnt fuel.

>>16543374
same way

>carbs cant flow enough fuel/cam not aggressive enough for high rpm, engine won't rev more

>ECU not programmed to work above certain RPM, will not send signals to injectors

>>16543374
>jerking sensation
My car doesn't do that at all. Running into the rev limiter is so smooth, if you didn't hear the engine screaming you'd be wondering why it stopped accelerating.

Biggest turds ever. Even in turbo

>>16542728
They're cool tho

>>16543133
No they arent.
Only white trash own them
Mexicans wont even touch them.

Any econobubble.

Pretty much every single one

Renault
Peugeot
Citroen

>>16541426
I'd say mitsu since they killed the evo. At least Nissan still has Z.. For now. At least Chrysler makes the 300c. Although its screams dindu it at least says something unlike any Mitsubishi.

not a smart buy desu

>fits in every parking space
>ridiculously small turning circle
>generally fun to drive in a city
>cheap to drive, especially if diesel
that's about it though. highway driving reks the engine in no time, pain in the ass to do anything on the engine, they even removed the oil drain plug at some point. unless you work at a Merc dealership and live in a city, don't do it and get a civic for 3k instead.

>>16541353
Someone has a picture of a consumer reports graph. Smart has one of the highest problems per vehicle of any brand.

If it was a turbo you'd have a lot more options, diesel tuning is easy. Buffet injectors, cams and timing is a good way to start

it aint a turbo tho.
Under the hood is the OM616 four-cylinder diesel engine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_OM616 65 HP. SIXTY FIVE for a 3000 lb car.

>>16540757
You could get a better air intake for a nickel and dime of horsepower

Hopefully a fad that's going away.

I currently own a 2009 CLK550 and have previously owned a 2003 CLK500. I picked mine up with low miles, all service records, and I had a PPI done before buying it. I've had it for 2 years and it hasn't given me any issues, just regular maintenance. If you want a CLK, look for a 2008-2009 CLK550, it's the best model of the W209, other than the Black Series. Do not buy a 2007 model, as it will have this issue: http://mbworld.org/forums/clk-class-w209/429085-m272-273-engine-cam-adjuster-magnet-balancer-shaft-sprocket-issues-dtb.html

>Mercedes: Reliable for a long time but when something breaks, it's big and will cost you big
>BMW: Reliable most of the time but will have little things, parts cost isn't too bad
>Audi: Get ready to get fucked hard

So if you want problems few and far between but expensive when they happen, Mercedes. If you want little inexpensive things happening occasionally, BMW.

But for god-sake don't get an Audi.

c3 corvette
Only made 160hp stock
Thanks, boosh.

I'll tell him to fuck off' say that hes no longer a relevant mechanic youtuber, then tell him that ChrisFix is a far better mechanic than he is just to have him spit autisticly. And to add salt to the wounds, ill send him an image of a Mercedes symbol to make him disintegrate into ash, as the symbol is to harsh for his senile eyes to withstand.

>>16539349
Yeah the smog C3s only made that much. But the earlier vettes made much more even when you account for converting Gross-Net HP. The earlier vettes also look better IMO
