Help please. I leased a scion FRS 2016 black and the transmission feels really clunky, it stops me from changing gears at times. People are telling me to change the tranny fluid but i want to know if it will void my warranty and if i can tell the dealership to do it for me.
did... you lease a manual? You can do that?
if it's automatic it's probably still just breaking in. they feel rough for the first 1-2k miles.
it's a lease, just drive the balls off of it and hand it back to the nerds.

You are retarded the warranty covers and repairs if its a lease car dumbass 2/10 for making me reply.
bro if you just bought it. that car has warranty . just get off your ass and take it to the dealer so they can fix it for free. why even trouble yourself
Has car design stalled?
The Edwardian era saw a move away from designs modeled on horse carriages. The 1930s saw big leaps in aerodynamic unibody designs. Cars in the 50s and 60s had fins and chrome while those in the late 70s and early 80s featured angular, wedge-shaped designs with pop-up headlights. Then the "jellybean" Taurus came in 1986 and all modern cars have copied this look ever since.
... and then what? It's been 30 years since the launch of the Taurus. Why has car design remained mostly unchanged since then?

Case in point:
Above pic: 86-91 Soarer
Below pic: 92-01 Soarer
But actual jelly bean Taurii (96-99) were a sales disaster.

Blame safety standards and regulations.
All the cars that you would reference as being increasingly progressive in design up til the 80's had virtually no safety or impact standards to limit their design.
Who /fully mechanical/ here?
I'm almost to greatness other than power brakes but I'd rather be kek.ed by my brakes then on the side of a mountain.

$15k budget, I want something RWD and fun, but also reliable enough to DD. Don't care about gas costs or maintenance costs, I just don't want it to be unreliable and broken all the time. No Miatas

I hit the back of a lexus Rx 350 yr 2011... it was an accident and I am frustrated on how much its going to cost... we didnt do a police report or insurance claim bc it is minor accient... this is my first accident... How much do you guys think it will cost out of pocket ??
$1800
>we didnt do a police report or insurance claim bc it is minor accient
Then don't pay it, deny you did it and move on. That's what the retard gets for trusting you. What a fag.
Hi /o/
I'm currently converting a 1991 SW20 MR2 to all wheel drive, using a cosworth MT75 gearbox, and running the diff upside down.
The engine I'll be using a nissan VQ35, which I will be destroking to 2litres for rally regulations, and will be using a single IHI Turbine.
I'm currently cutting the transmission tunnel, and my angle grinders a peice of shit, does anyone have any tips here? I've got through 6 of these fucking wafer thin discs so far, all they do is snap into peices.
>Pic related, its the tunnel I'm cutting out the car. Its where the fuel tank would normally be but I'll be running one single carbon fibre fuel cell in the passenger footwell.
inb4 someone identifies it as copypasta while congratulating themselves for being here for more than a month

Sports Sedan Suggestions:
In the market for a sports sedan with a manuel transmission in the $15,000 range. Currently my top two choices are the 04-06 cts-v and the 07-08 g35s sedan. I realize bmw/audi/merc have offerings as well but im too much of a jew for those maintenance costs.
Anything else I should be considering?
>>13905211
>anything else
nope stick with based infiniti
>>13905226
its definitely my top choice at the moment
the lure of 100 extra horsepower and v8 rumble from the v is tempting tho
but id imagine reliability is a bit worse unfortunately

oh BOY
