Post cars that aren't very well remembered anymore (as in, you don't really see them often and they are rarely ever mentioned).
Here's the Mazda 929 to start.
Daewoo Leganza
>>14115626
Would have bought a 929 if there was a larger aftermarket.

Uncle of mine had one of these new back in about 85 or so, thing was full of so many electronics and luxury stuff that the future had landed on 4 wheels
How do you know when drum brakes (shoes) need replacing?
Grinding noise, pulls to one side during braking, weak brakes
Or just looking at them if you're unsure
If you're missing the "padding" on tje steel shoe or bits of it; replace, and also replace on the other side
I dont know if drum shoes have wear indicators, but if they don't you just pull the cover off and look at them just like you would a disc pad.
I asked for a cordless impact wrench for Christmas and instead got a compact drill/driver.
Can these somehow be used for the same automotive purposes that an impact driver is used?
>>14115330
No.
>>14115334
Thanks
Its ok, if you think you want a cordless impact you really dont.
They dont do shit.
still looking for another car and I now have $9k usd to spend
i could put the money down to finance a brand new shitbox because muh warranty or I could get a really good used car with rwd and a manual
im thinking maybe I could get a NA miata or 240SX for a weekend warrior, do bare minimum insurance and put the rest down on a new shitbox to DD
so i have 3 choices
>g35
>kia soul
>kia soul of + NA miata or 240SX
g35 (my choice after tons of research)
+
>rwd
>manual
>good looks
>very nimble for a near 3400lb car
>plenty of power to keep me happy for a long time but not exactly too much
-
>maintenance is all on you
>05+ have chance of burning oil (oh boo hoo $10 of oil every 1000 miles or a $300 catch can)
>have to deal with the whole douchey vapefag stigma (eh the mazda3 had a ricer stigma but I never really cared)
>between 8 and 13 years old (doesn't really matter to me)
>most in my budget have over 100k miles (doesn't really matter to me)
kia soul (they're like 12 grand in my area and everything else in it's class is inferior...also I don't have a good enough job to finance more than that...otherwise I'd get a 2016 mazda3)
+
>somewhat cozy for a shitbox
>nobody has driven it before
>I'll be building up a credit score
>muh warranty
-
>clutch pedal is way too high with a far as fuck throw to the point where it's undriveable so I would have no choice but to get the autotragic (for a better explanation you might want to look at car throttles review of the jaguar f type with the manual)
>if I show up to streets of willow in one then I'll be banned forever (for if I don't get a miata)
>complete downgrade from the memezda
>would probably be seen as a normie
NA miata
>every car guy not pushing the stupid hairdresser meme should already know
240sx
>every car guy should already know
i still want to get a g35 but I'm starting to have trust issues about it and maybe the buildup of credit would be worth it in the long run
You'll regret the miata but not the 240sx
you need driving school you fat fuck
>>14115317
if it's because of power then you don't have to worry be throwing in a bmw s85 anyway somehow
I live in Calgary. Bridgestone Blizzaks are 180 bucks a piece and Nokians are 250 bucks a piece. Are they worth spending the money over Blizzaks?
What car?
>>14114626
2010 Mazda 3
I drove through 12 inches on my ws80s last winter, they'll bd fine
Ford vs Dodge vs Chevy?
or are they all shit?
Ford >>> Chevy = Dodge
And Dodge would be dead last if they didn't have Snek. They have only one good car, but god damn is it exceptional.
Dodge has best supercar
Ford has best general lineup
2016 Camaro is better than the Mustang.
Dodge in general is dogshit quality though.
>>14114368
Theyre all shit buy something that can turn
What's the fastest stock car on the touge I can buy for under $5K?
Miats
A bike
Miata or MR2.
Looks like you were swerving a little back there /o/. Mind explaining why?
OP gives amazing head.
>>14113615
Keeping my tires warm for better traction on the road
>>14113620
I was watching this anon get head from OP
Which of these cars are the most enjoyable ride and reliable outside of regular maintenance?
1992-1998 Honda Del Sol
1996-2001 Honda Prelude
NA Mazda Miata
NB Mazda Miata
Acura RSX Type S
I'm trying to figure out which one I should get for my new daily driver.
I have an explorer for when I need more room/carrying things.
>>14112912
Enjoyable ride as a daily...probably the RSX.
Miata for skids.
Both miatas are pretty enjoyable and easy to maintain. Rsx is just a acura civic but its nice too. Cant say the same for the others since i dont know that much about them
>want 4x4 camper
>dont want to spend $150k
wat do?
Smallish 4x4 pickup + camper shell.
>>14112763
>buy or import military truck
>buy a table saw and some woodworking shit
>fab interior yourself
>drive into sunset
Seriously maybe google some of this shit before you post. Youre not the first person to have this dilemma
>>14112763
4x4 Econoline.
What's the best floor jack for around $100?
Is this Harbor Freight racing jack any good?
most brands are made in the same chinese factory
lincoln, Torin, HF, etc all same shit
>>14110735
Get the steel ones, unless weight is really a huge factor.
>>14110922
Yeah get a steel 5+ ton
Those smaller racing jacks are meant emergencies only
/o/, why does Japan opt for V6's now instead of the fantastic I6?
crumple zones
>>14109993
Packaging
Costs
Mercedes and Audi use V6s as well, it's not just Japan. BMW is the only company I think of that still uses an I6
Also VQ >>> RB
>>14109993
Can't you into volumetric efficiency? (no, not that kind faggot)

Sheeeeit I probably got work that day. Was gon hit up caffeine and octane on the 3rd tho with a friend. Might try and stop by sonic but won't have time for the run.
I have 20k saved up. Currently z3 2.8 but will give out soon. Should I upgrade to the master race or upgrade to the premium race?
I know these are very different cars - one is a fat roadster, the other a boys boxter. But I like them both. it's more a mind thing than a car thing.
Obviously european btw.
>>14101293
Cayman.
The Z4 feels less mechanical and less "toss-able" than the Z3. From an enthusiast's point of view, the Z4 was a downgrade from the Z3! The Cayman has "telepathic" handling, feels more mechanical, and has a more authentic engine sound. It's more of an enthusiast's car.
