I was thinking of lightly tinting the headlights of my Mk2 Golf (single headlights), as is the trend with certain older cars. Is this a bad idea? Is yellow the best colour to go with?
I personally hate tinted headlights.
I like the white light spectrum and clean aspect of the headlight glass.
I suggest you just keep them original.
>>16360464
What about lightly tinting blue.
I want to be different.
>>16361068
You already have a running mk2.
Thats pretty special snowflake.
Dont be a tryhard faggot

Poorboy when you actually own your own house you'll understand why residents don't want their street turned into a fucking mechanics parking lot. Take the fact that he's crippled outta the equation and this story doesn't even make the local paper.

Hey /o/. I first wanted to say thank you to those who posted on my previous thread when I was inquiring about buying an ae86 in Japan, and I apologize for not replying back. I've decided I will buy one over here in Cali. For ae86 owners, how difficult is to maintainn an ae86? I would like to here some first- hand experiences of dealing with a potential money pit. it's confusing because I hear both claims " oh the car is so reliable" and "the ae86 is a money pit." Of course it depends the initial (lmfaolol!) condition of the car when you buy it. But regardless, I'd like to hear what ya'll gotta say. Also, I have no experience with fixing cars whatsoever.
>>16359865
The engine, trans, and diff wont give you issues.
The distributor WILL leak. They all do.
Mostly lights, interior, and body panels are expensive.
Not sure why people think they are money pits.
I bought one on Gran Turismo 3 and regret it, can't imagine that feel in real life.
But I am willing to learn how to fix cars despite how /o/tarded I am. The only achievements I've truly made within the category of automobiles is getting 2'47"xxx on tsukuba in initial d extreme stage and winning an idas5 tournament. Unfortunately, neither provides me proper credentials of working with a car hahahahalmfaolmfaolmfao

Am I correct in assuming this code means my transmission speed sensor is bad? Google has not been helpful this time around

Thanks for your input

normally i hate people that say to use google but you should have just searched it and that fucking tool says what it is m8.
>>16359377
As stated, Google did not provide much help when I searched the error code or the error message. It gave me numerous different possibilities, each costing more money. I'm attempting to resolve this without having to go to the dealership that wanted $600 to change my headlight bulbs.

literally the first fucking result.
Have people completely forgotten how to haggle/negotiate deals? Every single fucking time I list a car or something car related for sale I get retards right off the bat saying shit like:
>Hey bro what's the lowest you're willing to go?
>I'll give you 1/3 of the asking price in cash right now
>Are you willing to take payments/hold this until I get paid?
Are people just generally this awful at making deals now or am I just being a salty ass? It seems to be especially bad in the car community.

me: *looks at a girl and smiles*
girl: hey why are u smilin :)
me: well I saw a R129 SL500 right outside this building and it had the smaller license plate spot that North American spec cars have but I looked at the dials and they were in kilometers per hour, which leads me to think that it's a Japanese import because they have roughly the same license plate dimension as in the states/canada
girl: but
me: I know what you're thinking, don't the Japanese drive right hand drive cars? Well you see, expensive cars such as this R129 are usually imported in left hand drive in Japan because driving on the left side is a status symbol, much like having a YANASE sticker on your European car, those stickers can cost up to 100€! so I think that's cool that someone imported a car from japan, and it's also cool that it's a european car!! it came back home to europe haha

On the off chance this isn't copypasta, there is literally nothing wrong with this.
GF can talk about whatever the fuck her coworker's wife's son's girlfriend's roommate did two weekend ago and I can drop spaghetti everywhere whenever I see a cool car.

Just steal one.
So /o/, I've got an idea for a Foxbody. 302 and 351 and they're variations have been done to death, what I'm more interested in is making a poor man's SCO by using the Duratec 23 from a 04+ Ranger.
What I'm wondering is since the Duratec 2.3 and MZR are essentially the same engines, will parts for the Soeed3 fit/work on the Duratec?
Can it be done from a v8 shell? I ask because the 4 bangers didn't come with an lsd.
>>16357626
Just get a ls1 fag
>>16357644
Yeah, no
>>16357635
The plan would be to get a LX 4CYL shell and swap in the 8.8 from a GT
