Archived threads in /o/ - Auto - 2526. page

Which of these cars should I buy as my DD (it will be driven 80% of the time with my old 1991 toyota pickup being the other)

>New 2017/18 Honda Civic Type R
>1999-2004 Porsche 996 (50-100k miles)
>2004-2009 Porsche Cayman S (30-60k miles)

Plan on keeping the car for at least 5 years, probably longer if I get the Civic, although the civic will cost more than the other 2 by around 10k

The new Civic will cost you the most to own due to depreciation.
The 996 is at the bottom of the depreciation curve so it could cost you the least to own if you avoid any major repairs.
The Cayman will be more fun to drive than either.

I have an old 58 Volkswagen dune buggy. Any idea of what these 2 silver bars next to parking break do? Are they necessary or can I remove them?

They both rise at the same time, they aren't separated so there'd be no reason to have it any more than a normal peaking break. They're bolted to the parking break

I need help breaking Windshields.

Hey /o/, Im getting a motorcycle soon and I want to be able to fuck with other people on the road because I dont care if I die.

Im thinking a bunch of broken ceramic from old spark plugs to throw at car windshields.

Any other ideas?

1985 Nissan King Cab Idle Problems: Could Be Vaccum Leaks Anonymous 2016-09-19 00:35:41 Post No. 15846237 [Report] [View this topic]

My idle speed was at around 800-900 rpm stock and the engine would die upon warmup. Even giving it gas would kill the engine after I take my foot off the pedal. So right now temporarily, I upped the rpm to 1500 on idle. Now what maybe causing the truck to stall is a vacuum leak. So here are my guesses on what could be causing it.
1. The EGR Valve is staying open when it should be closed.
2. The hole with the float needle is gummed up.
3. A hose or more has tears in it.
Also to boot, when the ignition is on, the anti dieseling solenoid won't click. What's /o/'s opinion on what could be causing the problems?

Also forgot to mention that I keep hearing this clicking sound from behind the dash on the drivers side of the truck and no it does not have ac nor is it the fuel pump relay since that's located on the passengers side. What is causing that clicking sound?

Literally everything wrong with automobiles today can be blamed on California.

>Fucking nanny state commifornia passes law saying doors have to automatically lock themselves when the car starts moving because californians are retarded.
>Car manufacturers arent going to make a separate car for California so the car that is sold everywhere in the US gets auto locking car doors.
>rinse and repeat for always on headlights, windows that dont roll down all the way, etc.

Well, that's not true. The auto lock doors has an on/off setting in the dash menu.

Should it be made legal to smash the windows of a car with this on the front? What kind of person would put something like this on their car and drive it in public?

Hell, is it even legal to begin with?

I seriously hope that's not what you consider extreme in terms of sexual content. There's not even anything illegal about it.

Go on Highway 95 on a 10 hour road trip to no where. Promise you you'll find at minimum 1 person with playboy models at every angle vinyld on there. Not that a normal person would care.

So I'm moving back to my home state of Florida next year, and I'll probably be living in one of the shittier areas. Has anyone bought an aftermarket anti-theft system, or even just a decent car alarm? I have a Town Car and a 1980 CB750, if that helps.

I just was at pick n pull for 8 hours trying to find a radio.

Will this somehow connect to the wires in my 05 sunfire?

I can't find a wiring harness for it.

If I yanked the harness out of the car I got it from would it still work? Would all the colors match up?

Probably not.
Aftermarket -> OEM = OK
Brand 1 OEM -> Brand 2 OEM = No

A lot of OEM radios have some car functionality running through them, among other things. Not to mention the DIN sizes aren't normally 100% standard.
