most cars of each decade usually look somewhat similar to each other

those that break the mold are either timeless in design or butt fucking ugly

>>17537552
Fair point. While I don't like how passionless in design cars are now, they at least look new. Early 2000s cars looked outdated the moment they were released, I fucking swear.

The automatics are trash, the manuals are fine. We've had 3 of the manuals and they were all great.

>>17537513
get a manual for maximum funness. that said i never had any problems with my auto.

>>17537693
Its gonna be a daily. I already have several manual cars so I don't need nor want another one.

Why not just do a regular switch with an inline fuse if you are running all the hot rails off the battery anyway?

This belongs on the QDOT thread, but take it to any parts place. They test it for free

upto -5 on the front for a performance or track car is fine. helps with cornering grip but the actual number depends on how stiff the car is and the suspension type.
massive negative camber on rear is pointless. stance kiddies do it to to fit wider wheels under guards.
tyre wear comes from camber and toe. track cars are generally setup with basically no toe at the front and small amunt at the rear. this setup on a street car would mean normal tyre wear but also make the car twitchy. stance kiddies will leave theyre alignments stock and stock alignments have heaps of toe to make the car 'safe' for normies.
pic related is pretty good setup for most cars /o/tists would drive

>>17537273
adding to this a street car (assuming rwd, front engine), IMO should be setup with -2.5 to -3 front camber, either 0 toe or .05 degrees toe in at the front, -1 to -2 rear camber and 0.5 to 1.5 degrees of toe in at the rear depending on how twitchy the rear of the car is and how much you can handle as toe in provides stability.

general rules for alignments are that more neg camber helps steady state cornering, hinders braking and accelerating, toe in whether its front or rear helps with stability, toe out at the front gives better turn in and potentially more turn in grip and more castor increases camber gain as the wheels are turned which can compensate for a lack of outright camber on tighter tracks and potentially afford you more braking grip by running less camber whilst still gaining decent camber as the wheel turn.

If it says 87, run 87. Waste of money to use higher octane.

>>17537165

This.

The reason for higher octane fuels is that some engines are designed to run higher than average compression ratios, where lower octane fuel would combust too soon. Higher octane = higher possible compression without knocking.

Putting higher octane fuel in an engine that is designed for 87 will result in NO performance benefit at all.

>>17537173
alright, no performance benefit, i can dig it
is it better for the overall health of the engine though? don't they put more detergents and put it through more filters and shit than lower octane fuel?

>>17537041
You probably leaked out all of your brake fluid from a line or hose, or your master cylinder shit the bed

if its a chrysler its probably a leaking hard line.
if you have to ask i doubt you can fix it yourself.

>>17537041
you got either a leaky caliper or a blown line

Do the nig shit i used to do at a used car lot and fucking get some steel compression fittings, a length of line, and a brake line cutter

If you need to flare it rent a flaring tool as well

Cut line a few inches before it starts getting crusty. put end of compression fitting
Bend new piece of line along path of old one, try to go through any holes or mounting brackets to keep from letting the line get anywhere it might get punctured by suspension travel or the like. Flare the end and put it into the caliper/drum. Fill Master cylinder and bleed all 4 corners.

DONT:
cut the brake line with snips or something (this will fuck your shit when you try to put a compression fitting on it
bend the line to the point of kinking it (bend it around your arm or something, you want the line to "stretch around the bend, not kink)

>>17536876
Maybe you should try calling into Car Talk...

OH WAIT

>>17536866
That's more expensive than most fuel injector cleaners, why wouldn't you just use the right stuff in the first place?

>>17536879

I had this laying around

>>17536866
Just use techron you dumb dingus

I don't do any of those because i'm not a fucking normie shitstain ruining the roads for everyone else.

>>17536878
Nah, you're just a weirdo.

whats the obsession with shitposting

so? some of the codes are useless things like evap leak.

ya ,most emission items are simple fixes but even fixing it doesnt remove the CEL. also, fuck computers

cons they rust.
351 is a good engine, it is choked up from the factory but its a great block.
they also steer weird compared to modern trucks. its pretty much dead on center

idk, never owned one

they seem good sempai
8 mpg tho

where are you planning on taking it op? thats a high center of gravity for road use, but it would be a ton of fun rock crawling or bogging.
