Can it run gentoo?

It seems decent for what it is. I've never driven one, though.

/g/ might approve though

>yfw all alternators are electrically driven

bump?

Uh transmission fluid is supposed to be good for 100k miles. A transmission can take around 18 quarts so it'd be expensive you "flush" it 3 times

>>15864751

transmission lifespan depends on what the vehicle is used for. i was a mechanic for many years, one of my Toyota cars that i bag on and shift past 7000rpm i usually drain the trans pan yearly and refill it. if you have a truck that tows alot and such, it needs to be changed alot sooner than grandmas Cadillac that doesnt go past 2000rpm

>>15864671

theres nothing really specially made for the torque converter, if you want to try changing the fluid, drain the pan and refill the trans then drive for a day then drain it again and repeat. you should not need additives for the motor or transmission, atf has detergents in it already and motor oil has all it needs as well.

This may be the stupidest list i have ever seen

>All of these will generally be in the same price range
nope, gonna definitely need to throw out that gtr

>>15864692
It is the most expensive one. Cheapest of those I have found is 58,000 while the other ones are all floating in the 40's. I just thought I would try one out to see what a Japanese "performance car" would drive like. In all honesty I like it the least from a looks perspective.

i kinda want to go Military/SWAT on this, its got a right chunky look to it, almost air-portable.

something like this, but more armoured

Start small and work your way up. Fluid changes are a good place to start. Then maybe serpentine belt replacements and brake pad changes. Google and YouTube are your friend.

Basically just suck it up and start.

Oh, and if you're doing something like brakes, do one side of an axle at a time so you have a reference if you don't remember how to,get it all back together.

>>15864562
a service manual can really help, as that will show you every step you need to take. however, it will also "show" you that every single bolt and nut on the vehicle requires a specific torque value. if you're not a weakling nor a gorilla, you can torque 90% of the bolts on your car w/o a torque wrench just fine.

brakes are a great thing for a beginner to diy. the hardest part is usually pushing a gunked up brake piston back into the caliper if you don't have a clamp or big-ass channel locks. after that, it'll be trying to get the caliper aligned just right so that it will go back over the disk without the new pads popping out.

if you're really scared, only do 1 axle at once. that way, if you do mess something up, you'll still have braking at 2 wheels.

You just tear into that bitch. No ragrats style.

Fuck off dumb frogposter.

my mum took very good care of all her cars even her very first shitbox which lasted a very long time until it was crashed.

What the fuck do people see in this guy's work? He's such a hack. Look at him!

>using fucking self tappers to put a fender flare on
>cutting sheet metal away from the wings and sanding the edges but not painting the now exposed metal to prevent rust

This is the kind of "customization" that all kinds of dumb shits do in their driveways, it's nothing special.

Ay, shirtstuckedin is the shit. I got a couple stickers form their August release. I'll probably pick up a plate frame next time around.

JimmyUp has some pretty cool stuff too, although they are pretty expensive. It's quality stuff though.

Pic related, got this sticker and a free one from shirtstuckedin

I guess /o/ doesn't like legitimately good shops and products and just buys the total garbage that the people in the dumbass sticker thread shit out.

maybe if you spoke in English we'd have some fucking idea what you are rambling on about

>>15864283
real question is how you making that much senpai

>>15864283
You apply? Do you think that if you want one it will magicaly show up on your door step?

>>15864283
Alot of places will offer loans based on no but they'll probably be at terrible rates.

All you can do is just shop around see what they offer, but don't sign any paperwork other than for them to run your credit.

Also do your research, see what are good rates, and if you can't swing an auto loan in the mean time you could go to a credit union and apply for a small (less than $1000) loan and pay it back within 6months, or way shorter than the loan term is.

Because do you want your trunk filled with compressors and air tanks?

Why dont we use hydraulic suspension over spring/coil/shock/leaf spring etc?

I'm sorry for you, anon. Hope you get a new car soon. It was a nice Civic.
If it was your fault, learn from it. If it wasn't, try to get some money back from the opposing insurance.
