I think it's unfair that the united states has such low gas prices.
I think the united states should annex us Canadians so that I can use the united states flag when I post on 4chan.
The united states has way better cars than we do for cheaper it's insane!
Lets discuss why being an american is so much better for car culture compared to this hell hole I live in, leaf land and shit post from all day.

So my girlfriend and I are going on a road trip pretty soon. My daily is a Honda S2000 and I recently bought her an Acura TSX. I noticed the battery was old and that there was some cracks in the sidewall of the tires so I told her to get a new battery and order new tires while I was at work, since I have a buddy that mounts and balances tires for $20 (for four tires). I do all of the work on my cars myself so I was planning on also bleeding the brakes and changing the transmission fluid this weekend. Long story short, my girlfriend went with her mom to a car care place and spent $1500 on new tires, an alignment, a battery, and a brake bleed. Luckily my girlfriend's parents payed for it, but I'm still upset at the whole situation. I know it was not her fault for not listening to what I told, but please reassure me that I'm not crazy. $1500 for that work just seems outrageous.

Depends on the tires and battery.
>>
>>17372265
This
tires could be $800+ by themselves. Battery is likely at least $100. Alignment is around $100 $1500 is highish, but not outrageous given all the things done.
>>
>>17372252
4 new tires + alignment + balance usually costs around $800. $400 for a battery and a brake bleed does sound like they got ripped off. A stingy shop might charge ~$200 for tire mount + alignment + balance, so I would check what tires she got and how much they cost online.

I paid $760 last time I got new tires, but they were MPSS which were ~$160 each

You may only post in this thread if your car manufacturer has won Le Mans...Not so fast Toyota owners.

ITT we discuss how many cars Tony Killnaan will take out in order to secure a top 10 finish. He's currently only done 1.8 million in damage this week. Surely he can wrek the 919 Porsche?

>>17371352
Yes.
>>
>>17371352
Similar situation, yeah.
Bought a 280Z because I wanted a 240Z.
Probably worst decision of my life. I didn't know anything and the dude ripped me off bad. Thousands of dollars spent fixing hundreds of problems and I rarely ever got to actually enjoy it.
When I sold it, I got less than half of what I initially even paid for the car.
I still l9ve Z cars and since having actually gotten my head on straight, I've also owned a 280ZX, a 240Z, another 280ZX, two Z31's back to back, and a Z33.
Next car will either be a Z32 just to try something new, or another Z31 or S130 280ZX.

So I've decided to sell my wrx and get a rwd car. Narrowed it down to deciding between a G35 Coupe or BRZ/FRS. The car will be a daily, with track time about twice a month.

G35 Coupe
280hp 270tq 3.5L V6
3400lbs
6speed
Brembos

FRS/BRZ
200hp 151tq 2.0L H4
2750lbs
6speed

What do you think?

I don't care about mpg. I don't care about appearance. I'm not into drifting; I would rather grip around a corner. Both cars would get to wear nice tires. Which will perform better around a track? How expensive would it be to make the FRS/BRZ beat the G35 in 1/4 mile?

Most G35's have been beat to shit, they are rattleboxes, when I had mine the A piler fell off on my way home from the dealer, But I would still go for the G35.

Is it worth sending oil sample to lab? I had a compression/Leakdown test done on my engine with great results. Anything else I can do to make sure my engine is healthy?
14 posts and 3 images submitted.

not unless you have a car that has an engine known to shit itself, like an m3 v8, porsche 986/996 etc where finding metal shavings can save you
>>
>>17368811
Or an older engine designed for lead or oils with more zinc. Have an engine with a fuel pump on the block? Testing can tell if any fuel is leakin i to the oil. I got the kit but have not sent it in yet.
>>
>>17368768
It's good to have a history to check for changes in the engine. There's several testing labs of which Blackstone is one of them. Go to their website to get the sample container. Put the oil into their sample container. They already verified that container is legally mailable when properly packaged.

would this make a good daily driver with a reasonable maintenance schedule? i don't really need much space and im never hauling more than one person at any given moment.

i will be putting no more than 3000 miles a year on it, mostly just a 10 minute commute to school and running errands in those miles.
