Got a new 2016 Veloster Turbo manual to commute in to give my 04 S2K a break. I commute 40 miles a week. Are the turbo Hyundai cars reliable? It's got a killer warranty.

Because you're gonna need it.

Any proof this model is unreliable? 2013 had a connection rod issue. That's resolved.

Me mum's car ran hot today, and I managed to convince my dad not to add antifreeze to the radiator to fix it.
She's looking to get a new vehicle, but I'm hoping to snag her old one for free. This is the first issue it's had in 11 years of ownership.
Pic related.
In the meantime, is running hot indicative of any worse issues I might need to check for?

Wtf?

You need a coolant flush. Your radiator inside will be rusted and have turned the coolant thick and brownish. This is very typical of 2000's kia's and hyundai's.

this will solve all your problems.

bad head gasket, bad thermostat, bad cooling fan, low coolant, etc...

Just dug mine out of the garage today from its 5 year beauty rest. Getting some tires soon, anyone have any experience with the BFGoodrich Radial T/A?

continental contact extreme dws
if you're poor, go for:
Continental pure contact
pirelli cintura p7 all season plus
michelin premier a/s
those are all the top rated sportscar tires on consumer reports.

Get Continental Extreme Contact DW if you need a summer tire.
>>15071484
NOT Extreme Contact DWS. That's an all season tire and shit for summer grip
>>
>>15071484
>>15071521
I'm not finding any of those in 235/60/15. Just the Radial T/A, Cooper Cobra GT, and Pirelli P600.

You don't. You guide a car. You're merely a means of getting it to any given place.
Is there any benefits of putting a catch can on a n/a engine?

I guess if you want to do a flame trap/PCV delete but it seems a little counter productive

Not that I can think of really, only oil related things I can think of are a cooler and pan with traps to stop starvation

I just notice a lot of oil gunk in my intake. I'm thinking it must hinder power/ fuel economy

If displacement is the same in two separate cars, how can one with domed Pistons make more compression?! My autistic mind can understand the physics.

>>15070846
The shape of the piston is not factored into displacement. Displacement is simply stroke x bore x cylinders.
>>
Displacement doesn't equal compression you nog. My 2.5 inline six has twice as much compression as a v8. You should read more
>>
Compression is entirely unrelated to displacement. Displacement is measured when the piston is at the bottom of the stroke, so it doesn't matter how tight everything gets at the top of the stroke. Also note that some of these pistons have a smaller bore, and thus will have a longer stroke in the cylinder for the same displacement.

hello /o/
i have a 6 speed manual and every time i go into 6th (and now 5th which just started recently) it grinds unless you granny shift
currently it is still able to go into those gears but the sound is very prominent
i heard online that it could be worn synchros and it's kinda making me anxious because that could be very expensive
i am coming up on 120k which is a multiple of 30k so i'm most likely due for a tranny fluid change but i'm not sure if it will change anything
yes i always press the clutch all the way in and yes it disengages so that isn't the problem
could anything else be happening or am i in for an expensive rebuild?

Does /o/ prefer the sound of a forced induction car, or a naturally aspirated car?

If you remove your muffler to make it sound 'better', you're just a giant faggot screaming for attention.
An exhaust can sound beautiful with an actual pipe on it, even with the muffler.

Hey /o/ttomen, I need some advice.
>guy selling '91 MR2 for $2500
>engine was replaced 5 years ago through with a low mileage one from Japan
>about 90k on the chassis
>only a couple thousand miles on the new engine cuz the guy let it sit in his driveway for almost all that time, under a cover at least
>took it to a mechanic
>clutch needs replacing, battery needs replacing
>~$1100 for parts+labor
Other than that, it's good, it runs, and needs a general tune up and plus whatever happens to it when it actually starts being driven. Is it worth it?

not a good deal unless it's a legit BEAMS
is it a red top?
also how's smog requirements in your state? JDM engines can have trouble passing smog
>>
>>15069885
Forgot to mention its a turbo. And I'm in Alaska, and from what I recall the don't do emissions here.
BEAMS? Red top?

Nah, fuck off, as long as it has any 3SGE then it's a great car.

Sup /o/
I'm getting a 2016 SXT plus Challenger in august and I already have some ideas as to what I want to do to it. I've been doing some research and I can't find any information as to what I would need to do to get a push bar installed on it. From what research I've done, the LC platform that the challenger is built on is just a shortened LX; does this mean that I can use push bars designed for chargers on it? Forgive my ignorance if this sounds stupid; I'm the only person in my family who likes domestics, and I'm making the switch from GM to Mopar; the last time my family owned a Chrysler product was when we bought a Town & Country back in '95. Thanks!

Fuck of, nigger
>>
>>15069673
The best advice I can give is to contact a few companies making these push-bars and inquire if they've had any customers that have successfully installed their bars on the Challenger.
>>
>>15069673
Pretty much the only thing that matters with push bars is the width and the frame brackets. And as you find one the right width, you can have the brackets made out of 1/4" steel by your local machine shop pretty cheap.

I've lived in Florida my entire, worthless life
The shit I've seen...
The only raisin that I haven't been declared at fault for a few accidents is because of a dashcam
People here are fucking brain dead
>stomp the brakes and then roll forward to the red light
>hogging the left lane
>no inspection on shitboxes
>driving while staring at a cell phone
Recently I've been traveling a lot in the right lane because of peoples propensity for immediately getting into the left lane and then doing 10 under
Fuck this whole state
I feel like I'm the only person here who gives a shit when I drive
And FUCK driving a miata on the highway
Shit is asking for death-by-redneck
Can't wait to die
