Was replacing the parking brake shoes on my old Volvo 240. Got called into work after I got the old shoes out, so I tied the end of the cable up out of the way and put the wheels back on. It wiggled loose on the highway and got caught on the inside of the rim. It ripped off at the arrow and the end of the cable was ricocheting all over the inside of the room, making a hell of a racket.

Ended up snipping the cable and just parking in gear lol. The car was only worth a few hundred dollars.

Probably wanted to slow down but panicked and floored it

Whoops, 14x5*

You want at least 15" wheels anyway. Your tire options are much better and you can get better tires for cheaper. What car is this for?

>>15823239
99 Toyota Camry.

Replacing everything that's made out of rubber and cracking/worn out with stuff that's not worn out. So this means LCAs (bushing/balljoints), rear trailing arm bushings, motor/transmission mounts, shocks, and tierod assemblies. Along with a few minor gaskets (likely valve cover and oil filter housing).

And while you're there it'd probably be a good idea to drop the oil pan and do a pan baffle, safety wired oil pump nut, reinforced oil pickup, and front subframe reinforcement plates.

90% of the work you'll be doing on it will be just replacing worn out things. Thankfully despite being a 20 year old car its still very capable and advanced for its age (such as having factory spherical bushings in the rear trailing arms in the early 1990s).

Assuming your car is in 100% mint shape like it's currently 1997 the most I'd do is slap a squared tire-setup (245 or 255/40/17s) of a decent summer tire (Michelin PSS/Hankook RS3s/Direzzas), rear shock tower reinforcement plates ($20), and a decent alignment, have fun.

I like www.fcpeuro.com and www.rmeuropean.com for parts. The BMW Mini Parts Store is pretty good for OEM parts.

awesome thanks for the advice, i know the shocks are pretty worn out, im going to bring the car to work this weekend and give it a good once over

replace the thermostat housing with a metal housing. it's plastic stock. it will rape you in the pocket.

KITT was pretty underwhelming when I found out 80s firebirds have like 160hp

Deloreons are cool. Only people living under a rock, wouldn't know that they are actually horrible to drive. Though you drive it anyways, because it has a giggle factor and you get attention.

I wouldn't take a long trip in one though.

>>15823186
Uhhh you clearly forgot about the Turbo buttons KITT had.

Saw a forest green one the other day, looked really sharp

One that absorbs all light.

Blue. And give it a shitty lift and teeth.

Nobody is impressed that you drive an old shitty Lincoln

Oooooooooooooooooohohhhhggggggģggg&hhh&hhhhhhhh get bent over and fucked

No its a fat gt chassis

911 R is better. Your taste is decent though.

I like what Fatt Marah said about it: obtaining supercars not only required money, but also the skill to drive them without killing yourself. Now they are easy to drive as Corollas, with exception of this, which has a 7 speed manual dogbox most people would have a problem operating.

>>15822758
Any supercar with a manual trans is best. That leaves whatever the fastest 911 is with a manual, the last gen R8 V10, etc...

>>15822728
>stops charging
From the alternator or a shop charger?

>>15822728
Sweet ride do you have actual pics or let me guess, only stock photography, cameras dead, cards full, it's snowing etc?

>>15822740
To add, has the battery ever been dead or are you just worried that the gauge is low and haven't given it to bro because of said gauge reading?
