I don't know much on cars and neither am I an Aussie.

But isn't an Ute actually a car converted into a truck/pickup?

>voting liberal

Only cucks do that.

>>15011825
No. A truck is a Kenworth/mack etc. A ute is a ute.

When will dumb seppo's stop calling utes, trucks?

They're the bastard child of a coupe and pickup built on a car chassis/platform. But now also the name given to anything similar, from the small pickups to shit like the F150

buy peugeot 206 gti for 4k
have put ~3k into it (timing belt, water pump, fabrication shit and engine mounts, brakes, discs, servicing)
mum has a go at me: "youve put in so much money into that car you couldve gotten a 10k loan and bought a 2015 nissan micra,look at our 2013 mazda 3 we've had no issues with it at all. you buy a new car and sell it after you've owned it for 5 years so you don't have to deal with major maintenance"

what a shitty fucking mindset to have. sadly i heard the same thing from a mechanic who was complaining about young people buying old cars because they like them: "hurr durr get a small new car for 10k and you wont have to do any maintenance"
people like this with this throwaway mindset give me the shits, can't be bothered to do basic maintenance on a car so they decide to get a new one.

Mums friend used to do this for years, she'd buy a 10 year old car for $500 or so with 6 months rego and sell them off for about $500 or get them and take to scrapyards.

Also an old car will last forever if treated right so why bother with a new car when these days cars are planned obsolescence?

>>15015765
>>15015779
Piston Rings will require new pistons I think and a rebuild yeah, What car is it? if its just a shitbox put cheap oil in it, the oil burning stopper stuff is just thicker oil for your car so it stops it burning as much.

>>15015765
no. every car burns small amounts of oil.
if it blows white smoke when warmed up then it's gonna need a rebuild, at least valvework.
however it can burn a bit and not blow smoke. i used to top my car up each week, would take that long to go from full on the dipstick to low, never blew smoke.

Mines been very reliable so far. It got to 230,000 and still runs nice so take that how you will. I'm pretty new to cars, but it's been super nice to work on (like all Japanese cars I guess). It's had a few issues before I got in possession of it, but that's probably due to shitty maintenance more than anything. Obviously I'm biased but I really like it.

My particular one is in really good condition, really well looked after by the old man who passed away within the last year, had it from new. The manual box is pretty good, engine runs good, battery might be a bit flat, just got to watch out for the head gasket issues they apparently have

I looked at Evos (VII mainly) awhile back but I just can't gel with the four door thing personally.

Got a place that's going to check the E36's chassis out once it's all running. As much as I want it to be good, kind of want it to be fucked so I have an excuse to buy an M3 or something haha.

No. It's just a body and engine, It'd need a respray and all bushes done, rebuild maybe. depends on how "good" is

worth 5k max

HSV is holden special vehicle. they are not holdens. they are a seperate company in partnership with holden. they take the stock holden performance cars and remanufacture them. they strengthen chassis and suspension components and rebuild the engines to turn them into performance vehicles. so for example, they take a stock engine block and drop in forged pistons while the stock engine would only have cast. they port everything, they tune everything. HSV is essentially a custom hand built car.

a shitty corrola. was supposed to make like 130, put it on my mate's dyno and it made 120, we did a quick jerryrig of everything and then tuned it up a little.

We got the car for free and it was running out of rego and rusted, so we figured we might as well make a bang out of it.

Shit was fucking fast though, after we smashed all the glass and took the panels out it was like 900kg, 270hp and really fucking scary.

>>15017892

it depends on the car m8. at that price of 3000$ i'd be looking at something 10 years younger. some cheap 16yo slut with lower mileage should be all you need, not some used up hag. I'd be looking for a falcon or commodore for reliability. just because they're the most common cars around. a ford ute, nissan patrol, hilux, suzuki samurai are also good cars. you might not get the zoom zoom you want but I wouldnt want to be stuck half way between eucla and ceduna. fuck that for a joke.

sometimes people get superstitious about squealing belts and think their car is going to explode so they sell it cheap.
