Anyone else done straight stupid shit working on their shitboxes?
I once drove a car after replacing the AC compressor and I forgot to torque down the clutch plate. Sounded like a buzz saw when it came off. Luckily it got stuck inside the engine bay and I was able to save it.

Who R/C Cars here?
>>14035558
RC tanks>RC cars
Too bad these things costs more than most of the shitboxes people on /o/ owns.
>>14035558
I wouldn't mind getting into RC cars, it looks fun doing them up and modifying them and stuff. But I dunno if I would ever go race them, and i think drifting around parking lots would end up getting boring after a while.
>>14035652
That is cool as fuck
>pic of my mates RC supra
I was at one point in time. And getting to know the area of the city I'm in I found a RC hobby shop a few blocks from my house.
Might check it out and start up again.
Man, the ending was nice but i really expected that someone actually died. Its a shame stage 5 and the last one got so fucking stale (except the final stage wich was quite better than stage 5)
I mean, the entire grim reaper motives and how he became a fucking wreck is interesting, although the show ends up pulling some paranormal bullshit here and there, but i REALLY wanted to see takumi lose at least once, and i still want to see him fight and win against his father in a race, and we dont even see if he manages to become an actual racer or not. Thank god we have the music, wich is far better than the show.

I have no actual intention to "jack a whip" but how does one truly remove all identity from a car (entirely rouge). I thought the best place to ask this question would be here seeing as how you're part of an army called anonymous.
>entirely rouge
get some spray cans i guess

To be specific I wish to "jack this whip".

Only a few cars can pull it off.

Anyone else here want to do their own engine work but too stupid to do so?
There's so many damn parts

Get a dorito, there's only 3 moving parts
My problem is initiating the learning process. Every time I want to go outside and delve into the engine, I find an excuse not to.
>tfw can't initiate the D
Engines are the easy part, its the vacuum lines and sensors that make me REEEEEEEE
I just sold some shit and have a little over $1200 for a car.
Should I just buy something outright or get a loan and work on something in the $3000-5000 range?
I want something that can take decent trips, I have family I visit in Florida and I'm in Maryland.
There's nothing good for $1200
>>14048215
most likely nothing good he can buy without needing to spend too much on repairs. Or he can get lucky
And I bought my shitbox for 1k
>>14048215
>>14048223
So loan for something in the 3-5K range then?
Hi guys I have a 97 crv and my idiot sister decided to take out the battery by herself but couldn't figure out how to put it back in. The thing is I don't either. There's 3 cables with 2 terminals. The white cable is coming from a fuse box, the middle black one is connected to the body of the car, and the far right black one is connected to the starter. Which goes where?
>>14047789
Should the starter be connected to the positive terminal? The ground should be connected to the negative but what about the white cable?
>>14047789
It's hot, neutral and ground. The neutral and chassis ground connect to the same terminal. Fuse is always on the hot, because you want it to blow as early in the circuit as possible to protect the rest of it.
>>14047854
Forgot to mention color code should tell you too.
>Black hot
>White neutral
>Green ground

SNAPPED A BOLT ON A BRAND NEW BBK 78mm THROTTLE BODY ITS STUCK LIKE JESUS HELP I NEED IT REMOVED BY TONIGHT
>>14046935
Sloppy performance OP, you're gonna now need a screw extractor bit or to bring it to a professional now. Were you using the wrong bolt or torqued it way over it's torque-spec?
Also, how did you manage to get your car to not start just by changing the taillight bulbs out hahaha
>>14047190
I have no idea my battery fucked up, it was cause i was playing the stereo while changing the bulbs.
Well I'm looking at BBK install videos of this and it looks like BBK didn't send me 2 bolts for this thing that came off the stock throttle body and plenum so i reused my 15 year old rusted ones which in hinds sight is an awful idea.
>>14046935
Your a stupid nigger OP.
So i just got these for my car because I'm not falling for the "they don't work" meme. do they go in the oil or the gas tank?
One in each
>>14046903
Just pour it straight into the oil fill . Roughly 25hp gained per litre added
>>14046903
take out 1 spark plug and pour it all in the hole

Meanwhile in Europe

What was even worse? If a foreign car was actually able to be produced/sold in the US, it had to have rubber bumpers the size and width of the Titanic on every side and was weaker than the original in every way because MUH EMISHINS!

muh big 5l+ pushrod v8s making 120hp and getting 8mpg

My shitty little To-Do list. What repairs are you guys needing /o/?
You fucking write like a 6 year old kid. Fucking disgusting.
Bigger tires
Higher lift
new wheels because lol pre bent pro comps.
Gear up the diff and a cat back
Thing would be cherry
work on your handwriting bro its worse than a four year olds
How could this go wrong /o/?
>>14046506
Very easily I'd imagine.

Okay so they mention like a Charger and a Porsche, what's that about. And sharing a car is a shitty, shitty idea unless its with a sibling, since you have some parental mediator when it inevitably comes up in a conflict.
