I'm looking at getting a newer car.
My current car has tons of undercarriage rust from salt.
Besides garaging it all winter, is there a way to 100% protect my vehicle from rust and corrosion from salt? Or 90% is fine too I guess.
>>17416498
Wash it regularly. Don't let salt get on it by washing your car.
put a ton of used oil underneath.
yes just do a rust proofing treatment each year before winter. If you garage it every day too you should be good.
I just sold a truck and the buyer overpaid me about $2000 over my asking price.
Guy flew here from halfway across Canada, was the typical "The more I look at it the more I want to walk away, you're asking too much, I'd be overpaying etc"
Kept pointing out little flaws in the paint claiming he was overpaying.
Told him he'd need a bank draft made out to the lienholder which was my bank and the rest I'd take in 100's, gave him the numbers I figured out to pay off my end of the loan and what I'd need in cash.
Hour or two goes by with him being a pushy fucker on the price, I concede a $500 reduction and we call it a deal, as we're signing the paperwork I count the cash, I add up the bank draft to the cash and it's $2000 above what I was asking.
>"Dude, you're overpaying me"
>"Oh I know I'm overpaying for this truck!"
>"Ok"
We shook hands, he took the keys and off he went into the sunset.
I've had that truck for four years and just got paid more than I originally paid for it, four years ago.
and youre complaining why??????

I'm not complaining at all.

OP, eat a dick, regurgitate that dick, call Steve Mcqueen and masturbate to his confused voice on the other end of the line until you bust fairy dust, at which point you choke on it because there is so much, only to have that regurgitated dick come back and choke you even harder.

How do you remove the limiter on high performance German cars? I see they're all capped at around 155.
Do you have to have a motorsport licence for it, or something like that?

They only come with the most basic trim in most cars now. Mine only has usb and Bluetooth, no cd.

just because they arent going to downsize anymore it doesnt really mean that they are going to install v8's now
>>17413760
It's... a gift from God.
>>17413760
They've just been replaced by Honda. Everything is now a high-strung, fragile 1.5L turbo. Bet that'll go over well knowing their customer base that neglects cars as hard as possible, never changing the oil until the maintenance light caps out at -999, and definitely never doing any repairs more in depth than replacing the air filter, if at all.
I hate people.

Harley Davidson roadsters are the perfect bike.
They are the perfect compromise between the style and character of a harley and the rideability of a sports bike.
They are a harley but handle well.
They are a sports bike but they don't look like a space ship.
Name a more perfect bike? I bet you can't.
>>17412860
>style and character
These aren't riding characteristics. A sportsbike is better in every way.
>>17412864
It rides kinda like a sports bike though.
I've got no engine oil but I have plenty of transmission fluid. Since they're both essentially the same thing, can I put the transmission fluid in my engine in lieu of engine oil?
>>17411385
Yeah, totally.
No, don't listen to this guy >>17411393
It will ruin your engine.
You can use brake fluid as it's got a very solids-content. Tranny fluid does not, it has small particles designed to help convert the torque in your transmission, but these are essentially little solids floating around. You do not want them in your engine.
If you do use the brake fluid, check to make sure it's DOT 3. You can usually put about 2/3 of the normal amount in, as it will expand to a greater volume than engine oil will, once the engine is heated up.
>>17411418
faggot you forgot to mention the other 1/3rd needs to be coolant so it doesnt expand too much
I am going to my first track day tomorrow. Did full maintenance on my car and got my SA2015 helmet with GoPro ready. Any tips?
i would get high temp brake fluid. it makes a difference. mine is good for 500 degrees, or so the bottle said
Been around racing and track events for quite a while now, these are some of the most important things I've learned.
1. Whatever was tight is now loose and whatever was loose has fallen off. Give your car a once over after every session and torque your lugs before the next out.
2. Drain the bladder, fill the tank. You're going to burn more calories than you think, and you'll need to replenish them between sessions. Same goes for water. I try to have a bottle waiting after every session. Also have bananas if you can, the potassium really helps.
3. Keep an eye on your brakes. If you feel your pedal getting long don't be afraid to bleed them between sessions. As the previous anon said high temp fluid will help, but it isn't a necessity.
4. Keep an eye out for the cars around you, chances are theres going to be plenty of cars passing you and being aware of where they are makes for a safe, smooth point-by.
5. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. If it's your first event take it easy and really learn the track. Once you can be smooth through every corner at an intermediate pace is when you can try to push a little harder. If you can drive the track in a video game before hand it will pay dividends as you can focus on finding the flow of the track rather than just determining where it goes.
Feel free to take any of this advice or leave it. After all I can't prove I'm anymore than a guy posting to a Mogolian blanket weaving forum.
fast in fast out
I don't car how much you love driving your slow shitbox, but almost all cars will be self driving im the future. Manual driving cars will be outlawed.
Deal with it ;)
>outlawed
No. But they will likely be heavily taxed. I'm personally glad. It'll get rid of all the shit drivers.
>>17410887
Self-driving cars can only function perfectly when every car on the road is wired into the system. Sorry, but your manual-everything shitbox won't be allowed on the road because it's unsafe.
It's for the greater good of all of us.
