Hey /o/, my old car (850 AWD turbo) died on me this weekend and being the poorfag that I am I had to settle for a 02 Golf with 110k miles. Anything I can do except driving it off a cliff that will make this piece of crap drive faster/smoother?
Anyways, Golf thread.

A bigger rear sway bar will cut understeer. Also learning to drive

I really want to start learning more in depth about cars (like working on them), but I don't know where or how to start. Everything I learned about them was a shitty class I took in high school and on the internet, and a few books. How do I start learning how to physically work on cars and how did you guys start wrenching?
i simply read the shop manual.
thats plenty of information
>>15524085
I learned about cars mostly from my dad, and people i met through cars and i read manuals, watched youtube videos bought my own tools and i would go out and do small things like cleaning sensors. oil changes. and moved up beyond that with time and learning on my own. one of my friends i asked him a similar question you're asking and he just said "man i just go out there with my tools and wing it and if i fuck up theres always a way around i or a fix for it."
How many of you anons actually get your oil tested, to see how both it and your engine are wearing?
I test it with my eyes, works great and it's free
>>15517422
Eyedrops?
>>15517412
I had my oil tested 3 times.
First time I had a ton of metal, worn bearings.
Second time was after a fresh rebuild
3rd was a year later.
would recommend doing this if you really want to know what's going on, and prep yourself for potential upcoming issues.
Prove me this isn't superior to German premium cars.
>protip: you can't
>>15546231
Thats not hard to do.
This is from the 80s and is superior to german "luxury"
>Shitalian cars
>not ticking time bombs
Not that German cars are much better
>water pump fails
>buy new car because it's cheaper
Buy Nip or American you cunts
>>15546242
>the cuck appears
Go suck Jamal's dick, faggot.
Fuck Mercedes.
>GF wants new car, her FX35 wasn't cool anymore.
>she finds good deal on R350
>2012, 22k miles and only 17999$ OTD.
>tell her no, tell her they cost too much to maintain. Tell her I can't even do an oil change without voiding warranties.
>but annon I love it! It's so nice! Blah fucking blah
Anyway, she buys it, 6 months later I have to pay 215$ for a goddamn oil change.
>fuck you Mercedes!!!
>>15545387
I hope this is b8

Not even a little, this is unfortunately my reality.
Is she hot?
>anon, you need to learn push-pull steering. It's the safest and most efficient way of steering. Hand-over-hand is a terrible habit.
>no, no push pull is an outdated relic that is unnatural and dangerous. You need to learn hand-over-hand
>both of them are awful. No matter what, keep your hands at 9 and 3 and rotate the wheel
Said by two different driving instructors, and my dad, respectively.
Which steering method is the fucking right one? Why is shit so inconsistent, fucking hell
>>15543046
the one you find most comfortable or the one you're most familiar with
i think push pull was developed over a concern that hand over hand could put your arm in the way of the airbag in the event of a crash but that may be a false fear?
Push-pull is useless when you're trying to do tight maneuvers quickly, especially with no power steering. I was told by a driving instructor to use both depending on the situation
I have 7k for a car, need to buy from dealer to finance it.
I looked for 3 hours, realized I won't be able to get a classic muscle car for that price.
I can somewhat afford a V6 2007 mustang, if I can be honest I thinks a good looking car but it also makes you look like a shit head.
Thoughts on buying this guys?
I'm fucking poor and cant afford maintenance
Then don't buy a shitty car. Get a 2008 accord best decision you'll ever make.
>>15549638
>2008 accord
What am I a fag anon?
I want it somewhat look like a sports car, jesus christ
>>15549653
Well you're the fag who's poor and can't afford maintenance. Who's the fag now fagboy?
So all memes aside:
Who listens to eurobeat in his car as he drives.
And if you do how the fuck can you control yourself from not passing the speed limit or crossing stop signs.
If you dont what other moving do you listen to ?
>>15544716
>crossing stop signs
I understand speeding on non-residential roads, but there is no good reason to be running stop signs.
>>15544716
>>15544716
>Who listens to eurobeat in his car as he drives
I do.
>how the fuck can you control yourself
you don't. Thats pretty much the point of this music.
>it still smells of the old owner
did you check it with a black light yet?
I'm literally planning on replacing the entire interior of my car and steaming/treating each of the new bits as they go in. I found a parts car nearby and the owner is letting everything except the dash go for $200. It's also a nicer colour, which is a plus.
>>15541243
is that a parking pedal
What's the point of V8s anymore?
power of sound
>>15548181
it will last until the sun fizzles out
>>15548181
Displacement is always king. NA V6 against NA V8, the V8 wins. Turbo V6 against turbo V8, the V8 blows its doors off.
V6 will always be the thinking man's engine configuration.

Are big blocks superior to LS? I know big blocks are superior to SBC inch for inch because of how massive the heads are, but what about LS? I heard that LS engines are more similar to BBC in how much they flow but I also heard that even the biggest LS7 heads arent as big as the biggest BBC heads.
>>15544197
bump
Depends. Obviously with more cubes comes the ability to make power easier. I'm a fan of both.
Also, the big blocks also have the advantage of canted valves.
>LS > Big Block
Mainly because of packaging and they are so common these days.
I bet she'd prefer the BBC
Are VW Beetles the only older car i can buy for cheap and maintain for cheap?
Tempted to get a PreSmog car.
How are these for DDs?
Ill prob alternate days between my truck and this for driving to work
>>15540177
>How are these for DDs?
Absolutely horrible in every sense.
Also, they are not cheap anymore and are not reliable in any way.
no
that sounds dumb, but at least you can get a baja bug
i think there was one on roadkill once
