Electronics, timing chain stretching..
It's a beautiful car if you're willing to spend money on maintaining it.

Most alfas are really nice cars but huge maintenance money pits

It's not perfect, you'll have to throw some money at it, but it's not even that bad, And it's a great car

Just how "expensive" is maintenance? In USD, preferably.

>>14844023
Same as most other cars, really, unless something breaks. I can't really give you a good idea on any of that though because I can get cheap secondhand parts from places here like Upgarage or iParts or Yahoo Auctions Japan.

You don't have to agree to have it replaced.
You COULD just take the risk and continue driving with that battery... or, you know, have it tested elsewhere.

I figured there's enough Ford posts on /o/ to try this again. Last time I made the category too narrow, this time, all Ford Performance vehicles welcome! New or old, recently bought or passed down for generations, post your Ford and talk about others.
Got some Ford questions? Feel free to ask Ford owners. Have I mentioned this is a Ford post yet? When did you accept modern Ford as the lord and savior of the Auto Industry?
SVT, ST, RS, FPV, SVO, Cosworth, Roush, and M-Sport all welcome. Mustang? Ecoboost? Something left off the list? Post it up!
If this thread is successful I'll make a Ford collage for the next one.

Over-engineered in a bad way. Too complicated designs, too many redundant moving parts.

The Germans are the worst.
Why aren't drag cars put on rails?
What's the point of the steering wheel if you're only using it to keep straight?

What's with the fetish for japanese cars here? Japan puts out some of the most underpowered, numb, non-enthusiast grocery getting appliances I've ever seen and yet /o/ eats that shit up while still pretending to be an automotive enthusiast board.
Reliability is also the first thing that's mentioned about any car here, which should be the last thing anyone here is concerned about since, as an enthusiast, you surely know how to fix most any issue on your own.
What gives? Are you all middle aged women?

>anime imageboard
>every country puts out underpowered, numb, non-enthusiast grocery getting appliances
>everyone here is poor as fuck and couldn't even afford the replacement parts for when shit goes wrong
Thought I might go ahead and give this a try.
/o/, you know y'all my niggas, help another nigga out here.
I'm looking at this 86 300zx. The dude wants $1500 for it. It's in the most clean one around here I've seen so far. It has 102k miles on it. However it's the non-turbo model with only two seats. It needs the passenger window and rear driver side wheel bearing replaced. I imagine I could replace the window easy enough, but I assume I would need a mechanic to do the wheel bearing. The current owner said he has the parts for the wheel bearing already. There also seems to be a some minor electric issues as far as he told me. Something along the lines of the alarm going off at certain conditions, I think one of them was at a certain incline and load, and I guess there is some automated voice that speaks to you but depending on the incline it won't happen. I'm not too sure the cost to fix those are. I also noticed it seems to have an aftermarket intake on it, so I can only image what it might have been through beforehand. I don't really trust a lot of aftermarket mods. It could use a paint touch up, needs new tires, a radio, and needs some cleaning inside.
So all my questions are...
>should I dump 1.5k on this and get it, clean up and have it as a second car
>and if so, is it a good idea to get rid fo that intake
Or should I just keep looking? I see plenty of Miatas around, seen a 85 Porsche 944 for $8k. ect. I like the 300zx though, I really do, but have a feeling it might not be too great of an idea. Mostly because of parts and maybe maintenance. Would it be an objectively bad idea to do something like this?
What do you guys think?

Been in an accident, and I think it shows on the back where the plastic is broken. So might have not been too much.

Get the Z, they will be selling for five figures on Barrett-Jackson within the next decade.
>>
Love that power curve above the tach.
Sorry I can't contribute to your post, OP.
>>
I would also get the Z but I am a little biased, just remember if you're looking to make your own aftermarket modifications it would be easier if you bought a turbo in the first place. N/A can be converted to turbo but it saves you a lot of trouble.
