I would need to relocate following
>brake controller/reservoir
>power steering reservoir
>battery
>ignition coils

And possibly get a better radiator and oil coolers.

I am intend to get all the parts off the chinese to keep this very low cost. Still looking for titanium valves.

Am I mad?

Not worth it, they're not particularly good engines.

Why?

>>16107064
If you don't have much mechanical experience you should probably get it fixed in a shop, but don't let them tell you your engine is dead. But just out of curiosity, how did cyl 1 develop low compression? Was it engine knock? If it's engine knock then you have to get higher octane fuel. One more question, why is there a JZ piston as the thumbnail?

>>16107112
Nvm about the jz piston

You can do the timing belt and water pump and shit at the same time. Should cost you around $400 in parts if you do with real brands, maybe $100 or less with eBay stuff.

May as well buy a new car and try again.

>that_feel.why

I missed that opportunity as well, and had to settle with quads.

It's for those who want a relatively sporty car but can only afford/want/need a small car.

Just because one car is greater than the other, doesn't mean the lesser car has no appeal. Case in point: Twingos

France is 99.5% of twinge sales.
French government is literally passing laws every year and offering a constant "5k € take back your old car no matter how shitty" so that people buy twingo, and French manufacturer stay alive.

Those are the same price and the Mustang isn't even 10cm bigger.

>>16106979
Yes.

No amount of money in the world could get me to touch a American/Australian ford EVER.

3k should be fine for most cars.
what car and engine size do you have?

>>16106878
audi 1.8t

If it actually spins at 3krpm there's no real problem, the reason autos drop down is because they need to spin the converter up to increase torque, in the manual you're not hurting shit until you're at WOT at 1500rpm

If I drove a v6 mustang I would probably key it too

>>16106595
i literally can't, i would need a fucking sharppened knife to go through my mat black wrap

Fuck Sacramento, ghetto shithole

I'm not here permanently.

Joke's on you, here in Germany decades of moderate speeding are cheaper than a radar detector and the inevitable radar dedector confiscation and fine because our police are on the edge about them. Also two thirds of our highway network don't even have limits.

what if i told you i've already bought one

>>16106524
good for you m8.

>>16106524

And it's a?

Read the sticky and you'll be able to buy a very not-shit car for 9 grand.

Call a shortbus to pick you up.
It should be second nature for you to be picked up in one since youre so obviously retarded.

>>16106467
so you need a truck? If you hate having car trouble, then bear in mind that trucks start expensive in general, so if your looking for reliability, 9k will probably get you a decently reliable car, and a somewhat less reliable truck.
your post is confusing as fuck..... straight reliability? camry tier? what are you looking for because you haven't told us?

>>16106311
Honest question, how useable are the back seats?

>>16106318
Honestly, I think they're just fine. I'm 6'1" and fit rather nicely. Girlfriend and I had just enough room for "activities". But I could see how trying to cram three people back there for a long road trip could be seen as torture. Two people is fine unless they're Sasquatch tall

no. you should buy a decent working car.

Dumb as hell. Work on better batteries or use a "normal" engine and live with he already good fuel economy. We don't need a shitty combination of the two.

>German electronics
