The gayest of the gay...
In all seriousness not sure about those but the v6 base model bs we get over here are a fucking asshole to service and theyre just really unreliable, you dont have one of those though so carry on

>>14659615

these have the ls2 engines (i think detuned), 6.0 comes with 355 stock and the 6.2 is 415


I wanted a used luxury car with some torque for comfy riding and this thing came along.. all the lexus/caddies with the same mileage and similar interiors were around the same price so I took the plunge

>>14659626
The 6.2 is an ls3 btw

I'll watch the video if you can ensure me you're modifying a stock 12a or 1st gen 13b and aren't putting a truck motor in it.

skipped around, but my first impressions

>fat mexican
>walt Jr sounding faggot in hoodie
>and Marty Mcfly handling the camera

maybe I'll actually watch it, but its kinda neat to see a rotary being brought back to life and built up.

Thanks dude! Haha yeah its a hoopty but its getting there. Hopefully we will get it up and running good soon

is it auto or manual?
you might be able to get away with just replacing the fluid, look up a diy on your car's forum

>>14658237

2002 mercedes

What's the fluid level/condition?

Learn to drive before you get another car.

>>14657691
Not my fault some drunk hick in a pickup ran a red light and shifted my engine block 8 inches.

>>14657679
Wrong wheel drive or right wheel drive. The choice should be obvious.

I'm kind of indifferent nowadays. On the low hp econobox cars, a manual is probably going to be your only source of fun. Typically higher trims don't come with manual options though.

On a higher hp car for the street, it's more a wash. A dd/only car would probably make more sense with an auto, especially in an urban environment.

I'm looking for a 997 right now and it actually isn't even a part of my search criteria. The only 2 things that might push me into a manual (given the choice between to desired cars) is that it won't be a dd and might possibly be easier to sell, but I'm not even sure about that. An 's' might sell easier with a manual, but I doubt the regular Carrera would.

not stupid just outdated

so if you care about performance its stupid to get it

>>14657587
Luxury/higher end sports cars come almost standard as automatics with a manual mode. Seems fitting considering automatics have caught up with manual shifting and are in some cases even better..

>tfw drive an e39 touring and really want to replicate clarkson's ultra comfy touring conversion

I guarantee you will be freezing inside if the weather isn't warm during the night.

Probably should bring along some extra blankets or something.

I just re watched that episode. So great.

Wrong board m8

/f/ is <--------- that way bro.

Your serpentine belt needs replacing

>seafoam

why not just ask spongebob himself to come over and jizz into your engine bay, faggot

your mother can have some of my seafoam

>>14657095
God this board is fucking cancer
Sea Foam is some good stuff. I've used both the canister and spray can (goes in just before the TB) and found they do some real work on carbon deposits. It's not a one time fix all thing though. A spray canister and bottle will do the trick.

On my old Sable LS it was able to clean out my engine enough to clear a CEL for running lean on all banks.Cleared the code and it never came back.

>>14657131
krusty jew Mr. Krabs. Quit trying to sell of your Fagfoam and go sell some krabby patties.

How is neckbeard different than fedora?

>>14657047

Fedoras lack self awareness whereas neckbeards just accept that they're going to be ostracized and indulge in anything they want.

I've seen "this" said in many Craigslist threads... what exactly is it about?

>>14657017
Usually people say "this" to express agreement with the poster they are referencing.

>>14656806
depends i usually go 5 or 10 kph under for Muh MPEEGEEES
otherwise 10 kph over

>>14656806
Depends on location, traffic patterns. My general rule of thumb is as followed:

>In ME, NH, RI, and MA = 10 over
>In NY and CT = 15 over
>In VT, 5 over

>>14656806
5-10 mph over on the freeway. Surface streets no more than 5 over, too many little municipalities in my area that are sticklers for speed limits and the fines are way too high.
