I was wondering if the reliability of the Z32 was just an /o/ meme or if it is actually a money pit?

Was putting new transmission fluid in my car last night (01 Dodge Neon). The first two quarts were the 4+ stuff or whatever its supposed to be but after we realized we needed one more quart the auto store was already closed and we had to settle on a bottle of generic stuff from 7/11. The car got home fine but will it cause any issues? I have no idea what the differences between different fluids are, I just don't want it to bust my car.
pic related is my general knowledge of cars

If it's one quart don't worry about it, but for reasons like this always buy one more quart than you think you'll need. If you don't end up using it you could just return it.

>>17396063
Yeah, it was stupid not to buy enough, it won't hurt it though? Whats the difference between the various kinds?
>>
>>17396073
Additives, boiling points, hydraulic resistances, and viscocities. Engineering aside, it's like the differences in motor oil each Tranny is different.

So as the subject reads, how do you haggle? What do you even say? Is it the same new vs used? My experience is pretty much this:
>I'll pay $1000 less
>dealer: nope sorry can't do it, won't do it
>ok $500 less
>dealer: nope price is what the price is
>but its been sitting on the lot for 2 months
>dealer: thats ok
>$250 less
>dealer: we can do this all day and the price won't change sir
Like honestly what the fuck do you do

I drive a red 98 honda accord. It looks like shit. Clear coat is gone rust around the wheel wells.
The other day this redneck dude in my apartment complex got his truck line-x'd out the entire exterior. It doesnt look bad kinda cool actually.
Im thinking about buying like 10 cans of duplicolor spray on liner at about $8 a can and giving it a go diy. Do you think it would look okay as opposed to a flat black regular paint?
Im hoping to keep this baby running until 300k

Awesome. I regret not picking up the one I looked at years ago. Never have seen another one as nice since.
Don't forget Pre-85 Celicas, Supras up to '93, 280ZX's and Z31's, B210's, Maxima's up to 1984, and all the Mazda Dorito cars.

Can we get some car aesthetics? Preferably SUVs/station wagons. Love the look of the XJ and other 80s-90s offroaders.

Help bros.
When I engage the AC compressor, it squeals like mad. I am trying to figure out if it's the compressor or serpentine belt.
It almost sounds like a metal screeching, but I'm not sure. Also I should note, it's not a periodic sound, as in "squeak squeak squeak", it's more of a constant "REEEEEEEEEEE"
I can see the compressor rotating. When the car is off, I can rotate the clutch/compressor with my hand. This is after problems with refrigerant leaking/blowing hot air. I added refrigerant myself using one of those cheap DIY cans. I didn't have a proper pressure gauge, just the cheap gauge on the can.
Should I spend money buying a proper gauge & vacuum pump?

Most modern PCMs can tell you if the A/C compressor is engaged or not. If it's only noisy when it's engaged, then it's the compressor clutch.
Also if it was completely out of coolant, you need to pull a vacuum before recharging it again.
>>
The compressor is probably dry after not being ran for a long while. It needs to be taken apart, cleaned and greased.
Don't expect to fix AC by merely adding refrigerant. It's supposed to be a closed system and cannot work otherwise. Fix the leak that cost you your previous refrigerant, and replace the dehydrator. Then it might work again.
