I have a 2013 Mazda 3 with 65k miles still under extended warranty.

Just last week the dashboard display became unglued from the actual dashboard.

How do I get these fucking thieves to pay for this? There's no way a car interior should be falling apart at 65k miles, but I know they'll try to say it's not covered by the warranty

Have you tried actually bringing the issue up with them before resorting to this shit?

This is a known issue with Mazda3's. Mine did the same thing when I had it.

As someone who drives a blacked out 5 speed civic, what things can I do to make sure other people know I drive a 5 speed?

put big stupid stickers on it like "REAL MEN DRIVE WITH THREE PEDALS" and roll backwards like a yard every time you take off from a hill
>>
>>15411026
WHat I will do is ride the clutch at a stop light to roll back a little bit. SHould be enough of a warning for those who aren't braindead. Occasionally you still get the soccer-mom who shouldn't have a license up your ass though.

Rotary:
1.) Extremely reliable (just add oil)
2.) Can rev to 10300rpm with ease
3.)Extremely lightweight
4.)Easy to rebuild (3 moving parts)
5.)That engine sound
[BONUS]: so overpowered and good it was literally banned from Lemans cause it started cleaning up the competition.

Piston:
1.)Throw rods
2.)Blow gaskets
3.)bend pushrods
4.)dry up vaginas
5.)heavier than fuck
[Bonus]: can't rev past 5k rpm

Can pisston fags even compete?

Hello, /o/, I normally lurk, but comment occasionally. I am currently saving about 3k for a first car, and had a few picked out that I wanted second opinions on.

1. Lexus sc300/400 I like the looks and potential of these cars but the gas mileage and age concern me.

2. Jeep XJ, I like the Jeep, and would off road if I had one, but age, mileage and reliability concern me.

3. Mazda NA miata I like the looks, I want a sporty car, but are they too small for a 5'10 165lbs dude?

So /o/ what should I buy?Recommendations encouraged

The Miata isnt a fucking kei car but you're sacrificing all practicality which I dont care what the fuck /o/ tell you , you're going to feel that hit especially on a first car especially if you're young.

The SC300/400 "potential" is a meme, its a luxobarge and drives like one too, its just a JDM tyte one
>MUH SUPRA DUDE
No.

instead of the lexus pick up an old cressida, same luxury feel but rwd. if you feel like upgrading do a 2j swap

Hello, /o/

My car has an empty void where the radio should be. I've never had to buy a car stereo and would appreciate some advice.

I'd like something cheap but reliable, modern enough to have an aux input. Any recommendations on brands or websites i should have a look at?

thanks

Get something with bluetooth. It's real nice if you have a smartphone, well worth the price. I have a pioneer but it looks a bit chintzy in my opinion. There are some nice looking heavy duty head units (look for truck stereoswith all the functionality you could want, they're just pretty expensive. Jensen is a brand I remember.

If you're going to own the car over a year or plan on DD'ing it, just get a 150$ Pioneer DEH-X5*** series with BlueTooth audio+handsfree, AUX, USB or enjoy fucking with the AUX-cable all the time.

Seriously, don't cheap out on something like this, a 30$ HU is going to drive you nuts when you can just get something nice for a little extra.

On the surface, yeah. It kinda looks like it.

What was the mileage on the S-10, what's the mileage on the Mustand, and what problems do both have? And what the fuck made you decide to make this swap in the first place?

if the radiator is intact, it's probably fine. just needs some new body panels. couple hundred bucks for some used panels and a rattlecan paintjob to make everything match ought to do it

It's probably not possible without fully custom suspension, I can't imagine a stancefag somehow having enough money for a million dollar car and tens of thousands of dollars in custom parts for it.

Best suspension setups

1. Horizontal pushrod

2. Double wishbone

3. Multi-link

If you disagree you're an idiot

Just wondering what /o/s opinion is on plugging tires?

I know a patch is obviously better, but I've heard stories of plugs outlasting some tires. Thoughts?

Had one last a year. Then lost air.
Have one in currently because i was in the middle of the woods and had a rock puncture muh tire. Its only been in a week.
>>
if you're broke they're fine. i prefer them on the back in case they explode. otherwise just patch it, maybe you have a warranty on your tires you forgot about?
>>
>>15408050
Nah I already called the dealership. I have the extended bumper to bumper warranty, but it doesn't cover punctured tires.

This can't be good. The noise is coming from underneath the carriage by the right wheel. Just what exactly do you think got fucked? It's too dark to take a proper look at it plus its still a downpour
