Hey /o/, i have a question that i can't seem to google.

I have a 2000 chevy blazer 4x4 (never use it stays in 2hi) and i replaced the ujoint on the front drive shaft. Now im getting terrible vibrations while at ~44mph.

Some guy said i could just keep it in 2hi and completely remove the front shaft and be A ok for city driving. Is that true? If i did that how do i protect the spline where the shaft goes into the tcase?

anyone have input on this? Will it be ok to just remove the shaft and drive normally?

no one?

Mechanic here, take this hot opinion for what it's worth.

Usually you want to do U-joints in pairs; at least, that's what I normally do when one comes in. Either that, or it's possible that the straps for the U-joints are toast. My bet is that the straps are toast, or not torqued down to spec. If it wasn't having vibration issues before, that is surely your bet. Did you grease the new joint after installing?

Also, the other person was right in saying you can remove the front DS and run it in 2HI. Buddy of mine had an old Jeep that I pulled the front one out of because he bent the shit out of it driving over a stump.

Yes, detonate the engine.

at full throttle maybe if your injectors arent big enough. Could also cause detonation inside the blower.

Alright gents. Got a predicament here.

I have an 86 GTI (pic related) and I'm trying to sell it, but i'm having trouble because it's not in 100% driving shape.

It idles rough and chokes itself out before revving back up. Eventually it stalls.
Feathering the gas prevents it from stalling, but without throttle, 9/10 times the rpm just drop to zero and the car dies.

I cleaned the air filter and i'm going to clean the MAF because it hesitates when i give it throttle which usually leads to it turning off.

I know that's not the main issue though. What could this be? I've read vacuum leak, boost leak, bad fuel pump, blow off valve issues, etc.

It's a track car build. It has a 2.0 swap from a 95 Jetta, a turbo, aftermarket bov, etc.

I need help

I saw this video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajc2Nf3ksPs

Some of the clips that guy used are insanely crisp. I have never, ever seen footage from 90s F1 in that quality. It has to be HD captures of film footage, I don't think remastered broadcast master tapes can look that good. Does anybody know what the source is?

i fucked up /o/. need some emergency advise

i was doing some simple shit on my '87 volvo 240. changing oil + filter and sparkplugs.. somehow both went wrong

the oil filter is really really stuck but i don't have the appropriate tools so i hope to get it unstuck tomorrow

that goddamn sparkplug closest to the firewall tho.. it didn't came out as easily as it should and when scewing in a new one it kindof went in at an angle. probably crossed threads. now i managed to 'fix' it by gently re-threading the hole with the sparkplug but it still won't go in completely and some metal shavings possibly entered the cylinder

i know i'll have to get the sparkplug hole machined soon but my biggest worry is those metal shavings.. i put a generous amount of wd-40 in the cylinder before starting it up, let it idle for a bit and then revved it a few times. would this be enough to discard that crap out of the cylinder or do i risk damage if i drive the car like this?

i'd love to hear how those of you who have had to deal with this shit managed to fix it

Do you agree with this question: the average motorist is inconsiderate and frankly dangerous towards cyclists and more needs to be done to protect cyclists on our roads

cyclists needs their own right lane. and in order for them to make a left they have to wait for the crosswalk to allow them like a pedestrian walking.

People need to be taught how to behave around cyclists, and cyclists need to be taught how to behave on the road.

Cyclists should use sidewalks for their own good, and most importantly learn what a fucking red light and a fucking yield sign are.

How do I make my 07 sonata v6 handle less like a boat? This car really has handling characteristics of cars from the 80s...

>launch and front end of the car lifts up/back end sags
>go around a corner and car sits hard on outside wheels while practically lifting off the ground on the inside wheels

I'm sure a shocks + springs kit is needed but just looking for recommendations. Don't really want to lower it and practically every kit seems to come with a 1" drop...

Why not get rid of the Korean time bomb and start with a better platform, instead of taking what little resale value's left of that thing before you figure out the hard way that it's shit?

Alternatively, new tires first. After that, look into harder composite bushings. This will sacrifice your shit box's "ride quality", though.

I have a hyundai tiburon 2006 that's been sitting in my driveway for well over a year now, if not 2.

Got a bit of a situation here. Family member bought the car for about $4K. They didn't check title or loans. Turns out the guy she bought it from, bought it from some shit bag who's now in jail for beating his girlfriend. The title is still on the original owner along with a loan for like $15K. Guy refused to release the loan which means it couldn't be registered or some shit. Is there something with the dmv (California) I can file to make my self the owner?

Pic related, looks just like that, but dirty.

tl;dr car has loan, owner in jail, on my property in California > 1 yr. how do i make it legally mine? preferably without his loan attached.

The bank has probably been looking for that car for a while. You are never getting that car. And your family is never getting that 4k back. Rofl.
