QTDDOT: QTDDOT: Questions That Dont Deserve Their Own Thread
Aka: ask dumb questions here, get "advice" from anons.
>>14640889
Difficulty of swapping a 'ze into an ae86? Coolant lines on the 'ze are weird for a longitudinal mounting, but there are workarounds for that (lots of people use MR2 4AGE's to replace the old K series engines in starlets / corollas)
Not to mention, the supercharger on the 'ze cannot be rebuilt, toyota never released a rebuild kit and refused to allow the OEM to release a rebuild kit. (its also a tiny supercharger from the 80's, lots of people just swap to turbo for good reason)
The only reason id would swap a 'ze into anything is if the 'ze was free/near free. its only worth it for the forged internals and the 365cc injectors. its a better "start" for a engine build, for about $2250 you could get 550cc injectors and good quality NEW forged internals (as well as all new bearings and seals)(of course if you take this route you will need to buy an aftermarket ecu to support the new injectors)

sever neglect and general disregard for the condition of your tires.
next time you're in a parking lot go look at peoples tires. at least 10% will have visible dry cracking.

Nothing wrong with that.

>visible dry cracking
Isn't that normal and pretty hard to prevent? I mean as long as the tires aren't fucking old?

Old thread is at its limit. Old thread here - >>14585806
Shamefully copied from legendary VINbro's threads
>I am able to run US/Canadian VINs and US plates. For plates the same rules apply as VINs; 1981 or newer, US registered, and the plate and state are needed. Plates do work most of the time, but VINs are more reliable.
>Please remove hyphens (dashes) from VINs/plates - unless they happen to be part of a vanity plate. This makes copying and pasting easier.
>I can only run cars in/originally in the USA/Canada. If they've been exported from the USA/Canada, a report with their time here will be available. Not yet sure about imported cars.
>Cars need to be of the 1981 model year or newer. That's when standardized VINs began. Anything older simply cannot be run for a report.
>There are never I(i), O(o), nor Q(q) in VINs. This is to avoid confusion with 1 and 0. So if you are unsure, it is always 1 or 0 (not the case for classic cars, but they cannot be run anyway).
>VINs must be 17 characters exactly. No more, no less.

Speed record in Spain
A disabled (wheelchair) guy, with no license, no license points, charged in the past with drug related crimes was caught yesterday going at 297 km/h, 185 mph in a 911 Carrera GTS he was testing before buying it.

Do you have similar stories in your country/state?

Guy in my town a few years ago stole a Porsche from a dealership at 2 in the morning, drove to the police station and did donuts in the parking lot until they got out and chased him. Then he lost them after a high speed chase, waited an hour and did it again. They found the car the next day crashed into the woods with no one inside and never caught the guy.

Some guy in Toronto stole a bus at knife point. He drive it to Tim Hortons where he called 911 on himself

Alright /o/, I grew up in the house with my dad, a practical engineer type. He always told me that I should wash my own car - which I generally do (I've never paid for a car wash before in my light). Said they were overpriced, job is easy, you do a better job, less likely to damage your car.
In the past month or so it seems he's flipped. Mainly because we live in New York State (snow on roads in winter = salt). He says that because of the wash of the underside one should get their car washed at least once in the spring at an actual car wash.
So I ask /o/: What's right and wrong here? Will a car wash do a better job than a person generally can with a pressure washer + soap + sponge?

Hand wash is always better. That said, it's not a bad idea to get the salt off the bottom unless you like rust.
>>
>>14691307
If you care about your car you should do it by hand. You can spray under it just as well as the machine and you won't fuck up your paint.
>>
I use it, because my paint is slightly streaked anyway (and it hasn't gotten worse since I bought it), but I'm too...scared and inept, really, to properly polish my car. The few attempts I made on another car basically weren't showing any results at all, which confused me and put me off of further attempts, for now.
I really have to take a course on this someday.

Should I just get those $99 cheapo brakepad replacement packages from PEP Boys for my 1999 Honda CR-V?
Is the squeaking really as bad as people say?
Is it really necessary to buy ceramic brakes?

They're just fine OP. I don't know if I would use Pep boys shit but certainly organic pads are fine on a car of that size. Ceramic are just a meme unless you live in the mountains, have a heavy car, and ride your brakes.
Go with O'Reilly brand or Autozone. Those are a known baseline for me as I have used them both. I also suggest getting your rotors turned if they are worn but still have meat.

how are 100 dollar brake pads cheap? Thats like the price for the most expensive brembo brake pads?
Do you like the new Toyota 86? It's USDM

I still haven't had somebody tell me if i should get it or not, i seriously dont know. Plz help.
Somebody advertised there 1999 subaru GC impreza WRX on gumtree with around 240,000km and for $4k AUD.
Has quite a few mods, 3" HKS Exhaust, 3" dump pipe, braided clutch line and heavy duty clutch etc.
He states there is a problem with it and it can be fixed, either he will fix it or he will sell it for cheaper.
The problem he states is "Possibly TPS or just needs a carbon clean. Comp test was 165 across all cylinders, not using coolant or oil and not overheating. Car drives fine, just has a slight intermittent hesitation."
I offered him $2.9k and i might see him tomorrow.
If you could help me i would like to know;
What a TPS is and is it hard to replace/ costly?
what a carbon clean is/ costly?
And what an intermittent hesitation is?
I hate to sound needy, but i just want to know if i have a good deal, or if im getting fucked.

Can i ask why you're even considering this car? it sounds like a massive shitheap

>>14690662
If you don't know what it is and he doesn't either, take it to a mechanic before you buy it.

Don't buy a Wrx for anything under than 6k unless you know every last thing about these cars and thoroughly inspect it in person
Even then it's still risky as all of them are owned by scum willing to do whatever to fuck you over

2005 chrysler sebring
Sometimes my car won't turn on and I'll have to wait and hour or so before it does. And when it does start half the time I can't go over 2 1/4 rpm or the car will rock back and forth. It won't go over 2 1/4 rpm during those moments, I think it might be the engine skipping on some process but i'm not sure, I'm a complete noob to cars.
