It's even worse than that, it's a Fiat disguised as a Jeep.

Hi friends,

I got my car smogged and the guy told me the fan wasn't clicking on the the engine temp was way too high. I hadn't noticed at all, but I noticed immediately

I got it diagnosed for that just now. For starters, it was a quart low on engine coolant (yikes, I'm an idiot).

But he said he had really bad news.

He tested for exhaust gasses in the cooling system Tested positive for hydrocarbons IMMEDIATELY

He said he would have to removing and testing cylinder heads. He estimated this would cost $2,200

Not only do I not have that kind of money to drop, that's more than the car is worth. And that's just a test, not a fix. I don't think he ever tested the fan...I just picked up the car.

How bad is this? Anything that I can be done. It seems like I have to retire my car...

Any info would be greatly appreciated, I know nothing about cars.

He's pulling your leg, take it somewhere else.
Also radiator fan replacement is pretty easy, do it yourself.
There will be a youtube video explaining it

Its a shitbox, replace the fan/sensor or might even just be a fuse then top it up from time to time. Itll last a long time op just drive it into the ground like the rest of the camry owners
>>
>>15504842
How do I stop the exhaust getting into the cooling system?

That's pretty fucked he recommended 2200 worth of unnecessary work

Had a bolo on my plates for about a week before local PD finally spotted me out driving. I took a jug handle and wound up at a traffic light next to a turn lane with 3 PD cruisers in it.

>17 years old, stopped for no license plate light. Dad (city councilman) was in the truck with me and chewed out the cop for unnecessary stops of teenagers, no ticket.

>26 years old, stopped by Santa Monica PD for illegal u-turn in a business district, $240 ticket + a point on my license or $300 for traffic school, due in Sept.

Michigan (where I used to live and learned to drive) has like no u-turn restrictions so I was pretty pissed that I got a ticket for an illegal u-turn.

All the BMW M cars have become bloated except for the M2. M2 is the best current gen M car for driving fun, but you get the feeling BMW hinders it's performance so it doesn't surpass the M3/M4's on-paper specs.

Sup /o/, buying another car. Ausfag with $25k max to spend, looking for opinions and/or alternatives to those pictured.

Mk6 Golf GTi
G3 WRX (2011> model)
Toyobaru 86
Focus ST

Been driving an '05 Vectra for the last 7 years because it was cheap and it has been extremely reliable much to my amazement. No longer a fan of being a masochist and want something relatively modern and predominantly fun to drive, with a decent level of comfort. Hence my selections so far. Keep in mind I don't want the fastest, I want the nicest to drive.

So, what would you pick?

Golf or Impreza. Definitely not a toyobaru

>nicest to drive

Well your only choices the Toyubaru and WRX then.
Focus/Golf are LOLFWD
If you can get an old STI it would be

Id say 86.

General tool discussion/questions thread

How poor of an idea would it be to buy a cheap stick welder for very light work such as touch ups and welding nuts on to stripped bolts? I know most people say cheap units are crap but others say they're fine for light work so long as the technique is sorted.

Stick welders are useless. Get a cheap mig or don't bother
>>
>>15502673
By useless do you mean actually useless or that you are useless at using them?
>>
>>15502712
Useless because they're inaccurate for OP's described work, have a very steep learning curve and for the price of one, you might as well spend a little more for a mig/tig from Kemppi. Tig is pretty good for stuff that doesn't need to be hugely strong, best for sheet metal and repairs in places where you can see the weld, but mig is an all-around capable welding method.

Plymoth did it better.

Why is everything Scion makes so fucking cringworthy? Like the XB or the smart rip off.

so tell me /o/, what is wrong with buying a cheap salvage title vehicle that would be expensive otherwise (for example, a corvette for >5k vs <20k) if i dont intend to ever sell it or anything? granted it not be a broken shitheap of course.

Luxury Trucks my friend sealed the coffin & well let's be real a bed extender with a crew cap is more practical for construction companies.
Pick up 4 more co workers and hall that conduit bender with the a tool box in the with miscellaneous equip sorry man what you want now is a pipe dream.

>>15502140
Fuck forgive me for all the typos OP, but if you really want to find a truck that fits that description you're either going to have to
A. shell out a lot of cash with limited options
or
B. Scour the local market and you'll be hard press to find anyting newer than early 2000s
Either way you're options are limited sorry bud you're a minority in the truck buying world
Btw where in NA are you at?

You are just not going to find a basic truck with economical features paired with a v-8 engine.

Like you'll never see a car with ABS and manual windows.
