My car has some sort of blend dial on the vents that changes the amount of air brought in from the engine vs the amount of air brought in from outside.

shell is notorious for being a rip off. they shill on my local gasbuddy and report false prices at their stations so ppl go there

Recently got my fist car and wanted to get into repairing and fixing it myself. It's a 97 Honda accord ex v4 vtech (pic related). Any ideas where I can start learning to increase performance and overall maintenance?

Nah but bro what are you trying to do? If you don't know much start off just installing new parts that wear (full tune up, brakes, rotors, tires [you'll be surprised what big a difference tires make] than move to performance( headers, fuel delivery, air delivery, clutch, etc.)
>>
>>14188252
First thing you should know is that the "V" in the cylinder specification of a car is referring to a layout where the cylinders are arranged in a V shape. Yours are arranged inline so it's an I4 engine.
Second, you're not going to get much out of it as far as performance. Save up for your next car and get something with a little bit more under the hood. I'd recommend an E46 330i or E39 530i as a next step up or if you really want to mod a car yourself get a Miata, they're easy and cheap to turbocharge.
Register for whatever Honda forum is out there and read the write ups in the section for your given car.

Found a '99 Skoda Felicia for 800 euros with just 46k km on it.
I know it's shit stock but is it worth getting it as a funcar or is it not worth sinking money into?

>felicia
>fun car

hyper noob.

for 800 and only 46k km it's some of the best value you can get for such a few bucks since it's bulletproof VW tech (the actually reliable shit from the EU and the 80's/90's, so don't even start to shit all over this, burgers).

you don't pump money into cars like this to make them fast while you're obviously don't have much to spend.

IF you want to pump money into a car like this then you do it because THE PROCESS of modding your car is fun for you with the end result only as second priority.

don't be that faggot that buys a dirt cheap shitbox and can't stop whining because no one wants to pay the 10k he invested into that shit heap.

protip: you NEVER get the money back that you invested in mods.

buy it, have fun with it but don't expect it to be fast cheaply and don't expect to get your money back if you want to sell it again later.

About three years ago, you could've gotten my 309 for 250 euros and THAT would've been much more fun (it also had only 60k km on the clock). Don't buy a fucking Skoda Felicia for "fun" - it's for transportation and saving money, nothing more and nothing less. [image very related]

First time buyer here.

How viable is getting a low rate/high mileage shitbox for a first car? (+150k miles) Any good/bad experiences with yours?
All I know is, it should be good as long as it runs normal and the maintenance is ok.

Its fine OP, just make sure you go over the car, sometimes shit could be wrong with it for it sitting for sale for a while (rusted brakes, corroded/sundamaged lines, sundamage etc.)

Hey /o/
Me and my bro are fixing up a 72 Buick Centurion. We just took the seats out today and are wondering how we should go about fixing the seats.

pic related are the front seats we took out, the drivers seat has the most damage, other than that the vinyl is pretty good on the other seats, just a few rips here and there. We were thinking of getting it reupholstered, but we are also considering just getting a sturdy cover for the seats and just trying to maybe use some sort of cleaner to treat the seat backs and try to keep it original as possible. Has anyone done this stuff before?

Are new ones out of the question? I think you can buy new covers and reupholster them yourself. I've seen it done and don't think it's too hard.
>>
>>14187676
Take them to an upholstery, cheaper than you think

New foam, new leather and a whole lot of effort and swearing.

Figured you folks might know some tricks besides what Google and find me.


Tried getting out of a parking garage the other night by going around the lift bar as the machine would not let me out.
Left a prettyyy long paint buff on the side of my car, basically a long white line of white paint, over the my car's black paint, from the rail I was attempting to get around.


Definitely looks like something I should be able to buff off without a huge scratch being left behind so I would like to fix it without leaving anymore damage.

This is the best image I could find that's similar to my car.


Any suggestions?

>as the machine would not let me out.

Should've just paid your parking fee.
>>
Abrasive compound then polish.
>>
Mineral spirits or lacquer thinner to take out the white paint and then assess the damage. If you can run your finger over it and feel a gouge then it will need to be sanded down and repainted. If you think it's just in the clear coat then sand it down with 1000-3000 grit and then compound/polish

Cramped in what way?

Roof too low?
Can't get the seat far enough back?
Legs stuck between seat and steering wheel?
Stomach prevents steering wheel from turning unless lubricated?
Door won't close properly unless you lean over to the right when shutting it off?

It's safety.

There are a dozen airbags packed into each pillar and crevice, and the unibody built thick. As a result, almost every modern car feels small and has poor visibility. At least for their size.

Can someone explain this F-Body to me??

It has the Trans AM Cladding and Front, but it has the Firebird Bonnet and wing. It's an Automatic too.

The model year is a 2002 and I have the VIN on my other phone, but was this a legit option package?

This is exactly opposite of how I'd want my Formula, so maybe somebody traded parts.

The panels DO swap in place of one another. I'm wanting to see if there was a delete option on the Spoiler and Hood.

so my car was overheating today. I drove it home after i pulled over and let it cool down. I wasn't far. its a Chrysler seabring.. like 2006 or something.

so I opened the hood because my dad told me I might just need to put fluid in it. but this is what the thing with the radiator cap on it looks like. is it supposed to be disconnected?

sorry I know nothing about cars.. does anyone know whats wrong, and if its gonna be expensive? im legit broke so im kinda worried

also idk if this is related. but the heater/air conditioner has had problems for a while if I use either sometimes it leaks fluid onto the ground of the passenger side

Ya...you have some problems, the hose definately needs to be attached to complete fluid loop...
>>
>>14187097
so what do you think is wrong? like it needs a new hose? or it just needs to be reconnected?
>>
>>14187103

It needs to be connected, but it kinda looks like the piece of flange is missing...this maybe somewhat costly if the only solution is a new rad...
