>how do you keep people from joyriding or taking off with your car? Do you ask for collateral or something?

You ride with them in the passenger seat.

if you can build your own engine some obscure regulation about indicator position shouldn't be a problem

>>15815394
That is kind of my point though, I can't seem to find any laws surrounding home built engines and chassis which is probably the thing I would be most concerned about with legal terms. Just wandering how it would work in terms of car tax, insurance and legal stuff surrounding that.

do you know how to build an engine from scratch

This is what the contacts on the inside look like with the plunger out, e.g. the brake pedal pushed down. The bottom two contacts which are for the brake lights are open meaning no power to them, the top contact is for the third brake light which actually works entirely as it should.

you could have installed the lights upside down

if not an easy fix would be to take the light fixtures out and wire them oppositely

>>15814783
It's called a normally open and normally closed switch, learn the difference.
Not every witch turns on when you push them, some turn off, wow.
Also, most brake switches are self adjusting, as in when you install them they adjust to where the pedal is, but if you take it off and put it back on it'll be out of adjustment.

What do you think of the Genesis? is it more like a lexus or like a BMW/Merc? Does anyone buy them?

what do you drive?

>>15814738

Genesis is branching off into a highline brand, like Lexus and Acura. The Genesis, as a car, has been a success, both for the Hyundai brand and as a vehicle, selling competitively in its market segment.

Genesis buyers are generally assholes, along with Equus buyers, and it makes no sense. After incentives, you can get an Equus for well over 10k under invoice; you're not fooling anybody, buddy. You're blood ain't rich, or you'd be getting that S class.

Why dont you use the money to move somewhere that cars arent stupidly priced?

>>15814782
Love that answer but yeah I wouldn't get paid the amount that I am in Denmark (even tho I pay 45% in taxes).
So yeah.. Socialism and all.

Is that the throttle body? TPS maybe?

>>15814502
Hard to tell, but if that's the throttle body in the background, you're probably pointing at the throttle position sensor. TPS

It's not just vag. All mainstream manufacturers except Subaru and maybe jeep use haldex.

Might I suggest you consider the E34 as a compromise between the two?

>lovely classic BMW black-grille small-kidney styling
>comfy and roomy interior

One of my previous cars was an E36 M3.

The E36 was as absolutely Blast. Was never bored it in, rainy days were a constant giggle fest because drifting. The car punched well over its weight class in a straight line. With my best kill story being a 2011+ dodge challenger V8. He got the jump but at high end I pulled away.

The only real problems I had with the car, was an the OEM alternator failing at 160k, clutch master & slave cylinder, A battery, And In owing it for around a year, I replaced the rear tires around 3-4 times.


When it comes to a non M E36, I'd say a 328i(s) is the best way to go. The BMW M50 series engine is an absolute tank.

E36>E30 when it comes to a daily driver in my opinion. The interior is more up to date, less old car problems, they've hit probably their cheapest point, and not as prone to electrical problems as an E46. Which would also be a good choice if you wanted something a bit newer.

I've owned nearly a dozen.

It's my standard by which I judge other cars ... and until you move up to a 996T/NSX/something with a carbon tub I'm not sure there is anything better as an enthusiast.

The OEM cooling system sucks, changing a headgasket is a right of passage, and max usable hp is about 450whp on street tires (but 600whp is fun) because you can only stuff 255s in the back.

Looks like a 5" dick, at the most

inefficient

looks like it would be fun to take offroading

Buy him some snow tires instead and tell him to git gud.

>>15814266
That doesn't really cut it up here, we get 12+ inches regularly in the winter in the UP.

You can't drive though that on a rarely plowed road in a mustang

>>15814278
Ok then. Buy him a pickup and go halfsies on a plow
