Depending on the make you might be able to get a report from the manufacturer if you go to a dealership when its dead. Hell, I was even able to get the name (no other info) of who bought my Toyota when it was new, and where it was bought. Chevrolet only gave me factory info, car was built on a thursday....

I'm doing a track day in a couple of weeks, what things do I need to know? How do I prepare the car and what do I need to check/change after the day?

I can't heel and toe I've been trying but my feet point outwards too much.

If how you describe yourself is accurate, I'd say just try to stay out of everyone's way and learn the track/how your car feels on the track. Don't go full Dagumi right away. Being slow is better than wrecking your car, or worse, somebody else's. Personally, I'd, at the very least, do an oil change the day/night before, inspect brakes, and check tire condition/pressure.

Good luck and have fun, anon.
>>
Learn what racing lines are and study the layout of the track very carefully.
>>
>>17737312
Thanks man, I give the car an occasional flogging on the mountain twisties or at night when nobody is on the roads, but on the track I'm gonna start cruisy and get a feel for how hard I can push it.

Do I need to change my brake fluid after or will it still be fine? I have super DOT 4 for reference

Even if it was free you would spend more making it happen then just buying something of the same generation. For that matter I bet it's cheaper to buy another then swapping anything into it.

Yeah dude welcome to modern cars. Pain in the fucking ass

Everyone uses coathangers to stab the shit out of the firewall gromets and wiring harnesses running through them, dude.

Simple mods never are. Figure out what you stabbed or didn't, get it through and in, and wire that shit up. Same thing happened to me in my r32 like 9 years ago. The wires I stabbed in the harness are still exposed today and everything works fine.
>>
I'm guessing you are installing a subwoofer/amp?

Last weekend I installed one in my V70, but luckily Volvo (unintentionally) made routing the wire easy-peasy

Need a better daily driver (can't afford a 2nd faster car. Maybe motorcycle in 5 years cause other priorities)

2010 or newer.
0-60 in 7 seconds or less
subcompact or compact sedan
Not super expensive financed or leased cause I only make 2.5k a month and rent is almost 1k.
I'm slowly climbing the ladder but I plan to drive this car for 10 years cause i'll do all the maintenance myself.

first off, post your budget
second, you aren't getting a fast car. Get a cheap car, save your money then buy your favorite thing

7 seconds isn't fast just enjoyable.

Don't get a 2010 or newer car if your monthly income is that and your requirement is "not super expensive"

Hey /o/ does anyone know if it's possible to substitute vw parts for Audi parts to save some money?

Or is it just another rabbit hole?

I'd expect that you could if they were the exact same part, yeah. But since Germans can't into interchangeable parts, I wouldn't count on it for most things.

Friend of mine wants to quiet down his exhaust by adding a resonator and a muffler onto his mid pipe.

He asked me which order they should go in, and I didn't really have am answer for him

Anyone here know if there is a difference? And is there a distance they should have between them?

Doesn't matter, the key for quiet exhaust is to do the loop trick. The exhaust will keep passing through the muffler over and over until it is almost silent.
