Good for a week, now my CEL is flashing.

Why didn't you have the codes run at autozone? Why do you expect us to know what it is without having the codes checked? Why did you shell out two grand before finding out what the problem was?
Was thinking about trying to restore one of these for fun. Should I go for it?

Planning on using some 3M wrap over some trim. Nothing to excessive just 7 plastic, wood-pattern peices. Anyone ever used this kind of stuff before?
What kind of car?

2000 bmw 323i
Also if I dont like the result will it fuck up the pieces if i try to pull the wrap off?

Am I cool
Why hasn't anyone tried to make a 2 stroke gas job using diesel style techniques? Gas direct-injection is starting to become a thing now and that was really the only difference between gas 2-stroke and Diesel 2 stroke, how the fuel and Air get in and out of the cylinder. Of course this wouldn't make sense from an economical standpoint for shit boxes, but having double the power output for performance Vehicles especially with smaller engines certainly would be more appealing than having to boost them to the Moon or have cylinders that can displace more air than the size of the fuel tank.
Nobody wants to drive around sounding like the lawn crew.

You wouldn't need a cone exhaust with a diesel style 2 stroke because it doesn't rely on backpressure to keep thr charge in the cylinder. Each one would sound exactly like a 4 stroke except like the rpm is 2x higher. Listen to a 2 stroke diesel; at 3 grand it sounds like it's screaming at 6k
>>16319976
Yeah actually I love when the cement guys come around because they use those 2-stroke Detroit Diesels that sound like sex even at half mast. Sounds way different from a 4-stroke.
I presume there's more work to be done with emissions and regulations and public perception and supply chain and everything else before it would be viable for mas market cars.

Why aren't you driving a manual if even a blind dude has no problems learning it?

why would I drive an inferior car
I'm not driving a manual right now, because I'm at my desk
What's the point of a manual transmission with less than 8 forward gears? Might as well be automatic.
Gauge cluster thread
Guess what other anons drive based on their clusters.
This is an easy one to start, I've posted many pictures of what I drive
Yes I know my oil gauge is broken
No I don't know how that happened
Here's another gauge cluster of mine to bump it to the top again

sup guys...
so I just sold a car on craigslist last week. It's an old 25 year old car, with some obvious work needed, so my asking price was pretty low. I'm not exactly a mechanic but I did my best to maintain it, it ran and drove fine; only real issue it had was oil burning.
Anyways, I sold it, and a few days later, I'm getting a bunch of calls and messages saying I need to call back and it's urgent. When I do call back, it's the person I sold it to, but his mechanic. He's telling me he's giving me a "courtesy call", that he inspected the car and that it has a cylinder with bad/no compression. He is basically warning me to refund the guy because it's $2800 to repair or that I'll get sued and that "it's going to get ugly". Oh and that his parents are lawyers to boot.
So I'm feeling pretty shitty and stressed out about this. I'm in California, so I'm pretty sure it's a done deal, according to research I've done, every source states that's it's a done deal "as is". But I still feel pretty terrible, if it's true that the car is as bad as they say. However it always drove fine. When the dude that bought it test drove and inspected it, he had no complaints. I feel like they could just be lying, or maybe they already drove it in a way that fucked it up themselves.
Can they really take me to court? I'm scared people are gonna show up at my house and fuck shit up or something lol.
What the hell should I do /o/?
Honestly he should've had a pre-purchase inspection done. I wouldn't be concerned, just be nice and tell him that you sold the car as is and that the price was adjusted for known issues. It was his responsibility to see a mechanic prior to purchase if he had any concerns.
Dunno about lemon laws in California but typically a private deal is done as is without warranty. So long as you didn't offer a warranty or guarantee you should be fine to tell them to fuck off.
Tell him to fuck off because you're a private seller, not a dealer, and it was sold as-is. He's trying to scam you.
Why no popup headlights anymore?

So it doesn't have tires, brakes, suspension, bushings, bearings, cooling systems, vacuum lines and a plethora of electronics that can go wrong? Fuck me I need to stay with the times! That's some futuristic shit.
A car is useless to me if I can't go right from work to the mountains and back which is around ~300kms.
