It is very safe to assume it is NA because it is a dodge stealth, not a GTO.

I guess the guy knows at least it's a dohc, but doesn't know it's the r/t, which from basic research tells me that's what I want.

Or do I keep looking for the actual gto and not the captive import?

>>16168355
i promise you, if the car was an R/T you would know, as well as the guy selling it. That would add too much value to just not know. unless you are just that lucky that you ran into a guy who knows absolutely jack shit about his car, which is completely possible, but not likely.

I think you've got the DOHC Stealth, and thats it, and that isnt all that bad.

>>16168366
Oh ok see that's where I got confused. I thought the r/t was the only dohc stealth.

So there's the base sohc, then dohc, then r/t, then there's a twin turbo right? Or something like that. NA dohc is all I do want anyways

If It was just the hood or the bumper I would say go for it. But look at the fucking thing. See how the bumper is skewed to the side and the lights are out of kink? That means bent frame. That means fucked front suspension. And you can literally see the radiator shoved down and crushed in. "Radiator problems" my ass.

The thing is a total writeoff for anything less than a demolition derby. Even a pro shop would basically just be cutting off everything in front of the fenders and replacing it. That's 5-6k worth of work with parts. That car is only good for a parts car now, and the owner knows it.

>>16168516
Google it my dude i don't actually have a firm understanding of DOHC vs SOHC, i just know from Honda and Toyota engines that the SOHC brother of the DOHC engines is usually considerably worse.

Only in America there are FWD GTOs...

Here's a recap:

Dodge stealth
>es (FWD SOHC)
>R/T (FWD DOHC but fun as fuck)
>R/T TT (the vr4s ugly sister)

US spec GTO (3000GT)

>Base '97-'99 (FWD SOHC)
>Base '90-'96 (FWD DOHC optional LSD)
>SL (FWD DOHC, ECS, Active exhaust, LSD)
>VR4 (AWD DOHC Twin Turbo, same as GTO TT, comfort and performance in mind, hence the weight)

All GTOs are AWD.

>Base GTO (AWD)
>GTO SR (lightweight AWD n/a)
>GTO TT (basically the comfy and quick as fuck vr4, but also the heaviest)
>GTO MR (this is the god tier GTO, light and quick as fuck, also 6pot calipers)

I would get an N/A 3000GT because they are comfy and sexy as fuck, it's the an ideal DD.

Is there any way to tune an obd1 car's engine besides "performance" chips? Ive seen tuners for obd2 that let you change settings while driving, but all i can find for obd1 are chips

Can someone tell me why Honda is still using halogen in 2016???

>>16169713
Complete change over to mega squirt or similar engine management system

So I'm planning on buying an E92 335i and after excluding things that don't meet my criteria of manual, RWD, N55 (or is), M sport and preferably leather seats, I'm not left with much option with color choice and the most common color for this car is white.

Anyway my question; how concerned should I be over the white yellowing? I see even relatively modern cars with white paint that's yellowing and it looks awful. Any car I'd buy would be 3-5 years old and I'd probably hold onto it for 5 years if this helps at all.

How worried should I be about ticking coming from my cams? My roommate put a hole in my oil pan and ran it dry about a mile and a half back.

It's sort of minor, but it's obviously there. Any vague timeframe until I'll need to replace either my cams or valvetrain components?

>>16171511
Can someone help me understand why honda still use halogen?

If they are going to use projectors, why not just go hid...

>>16171719
The ticking should stop once you refill the engine with the right amount of oil, if it doesn't then you have a problem.

It kind of depends on how badly your car needs these things. I wouldn't pay for the coolant/power steering fluids though, that's something literally anyone can do themselves and it's way cheaper that way

If it changes with your wheels going up and down then you might want to check your shocks and springs on whatever side it's coming from. If it changes with speed it might be a cv joint or axle.

>>16173936
Some engines do tick naturally, just not loudly.

Check your valve covers, shits likely leaking out past the cams/rockers,

>>16174227
Shocks are blown, or some body panel is loose

Not sure what this means, so it's probably a shock. Best cheap shocks for an 04 mustang?

Please share car hacks

Example: My 03 Chevy gets a CEL (they come up as EVAP error codes) and when inspection time comes around for a new sticker (because Jew York), I clear the codes with an OBD2 scanner, drive for about 40 miles, then pass the computer inspection.

Shocks are a part of your suspension, and you don't want to take parts of your suspension off while it's under load.

Depending on the year, its likely you'll be able to have the car serviced at any GM dealership as they retain control of spare parts, in much the same way they do for saturn or hummer.

Pre-GM saabs may or may not have problems sourcing parts but many OEM manufacturers may still have said parts in stock.

>>16177667
Yeah, also make sure you have a limiter strap to compress the shock, some 19mm sockets, a hammer, breaker bar and take it off from the bottom before doing the frame one.
Being a ranger it'll also be rusty as fuck so penetrating oil isn't a bad idea either.

Went for a short drive last night and my battery light on my dash came on, at the same time, the volt meter started reading above the max line. After I parked my car, what I'm assuming was the alternator belt started squeaking for a bit then stopped. Went to start my car this morning and it was completely dead. Is my alternator kill? I was reading that it could be the voltage regulator? Car is a pic related if that helps.

>>16178854
Pull alternator and take it to your local vatozone to get tested.

Do some research as to whether the voltage regulator can be removed. Not all alternators are built to replace them easily, you may have to have to replace the whole alternator.

>>16178885
I should probably get my battery tested as well probably?

>>16178917
Might as well, typically tho a bad battery only shows up when trying to start the car.

What's a hot hatchback that will go fast and take me innawoods with awd? I'll probably sleep in the back at least 2 nights out of a 5 night trip, for instance.

I'm thinking Subaru outback but that's not super fast, however it checks every other box so I can't complain.

They made nice cars with a bit of personality. I heard GM put crappy engines in some though and idk about the Saabarus since they didn't sell them here.

Not a bad option if you can find a good one

there seem to be a metric shit ton of used Chapman FOBs on ebay, I just need to know which one to get
>>16179698
>implying pic related will take ten minutes
are U asian? must be to solder that fast.

should I get a 2008 golf v as my first car? Found one for 4900 euro with 100k km. Is this good? Only problem I got is that it's red. How much would it cost to paint it gray or black or something?

>>16180200
Those are great, but the ej25 motor has a pretty bad head gasket issue and the frames rust like fucking shit.
I have a 2000 legacy, shit is rusted as fuck.

Looking to snag this for a work truck. Anything I should be on the look out for when I go to look it over?

Why are the windows behind the b pillar darker than the driver and front passenger windows?

>>16168378
that's totaled. would pull the parts out and sell on ebay

>>16172813

the manual dohc ones are

Which would be a better buy? A miata or a 300zx?

>>16183082
Miata, You'll actually be able to keep the skin on your hands when working on it, and can make it reasonably fast.

>>16181897
5.4's eat spark plugs so ask whens the last time the plugs were changed.

>>16182352
Because they're less regulated than those windows when it comes to tint.

>>16180099
Check the ground to the block and all connections to the battery, You have a drain some where.

>>16172940

The only thing on that list that would take more than 10 minutes to fix yourself is the rack and pinion. It's not hard but depending on the rig could take a few days and get really messy.

Don't forget that in a DOHC you have to drive 2 cams, 4 total for a v6. Apparently from the math I've seen it adds up to a significant fuel cost over the lifetime of the vehicle, but >>16175556
is right about air flow ability. DOHC will generally always give you more power, but SOHC is easier to run. So the better question is, does the extra power you get from a DOHC offset the more difficult cam drive ability, much like a l4 tacoma vs the v6 tacoma which both get about the same mpg, but different power figures.

>>16181897

>>16183186
is right about the plugs, but not just plugs but the coil packs too, I had an 05 expedition with the 5.4 and between 100-120k miles I had to replace all 8 coil packs, I should have just replaced all 8 when the first one went. Also, the 5.4's intake is renown for cracking at 140K+ miles, supposedly its an expensive fix so I ditched my expedition at 130k. Also don't forget to ask about the timing chain.

>>16180949
Those are pretty good starter cars, FWD, kind of easy to fix. As for the paint, it depends on if you just want a shitty exterior paint job which is around 1000-2000$USD, a full paint job that gets inside the door jams and stuff would run probably closer to 4-5KUSD

I drive a 2011 Ford Police Interceptor. I wanna swap out the stock radio that came with it for a stereo from something like a Grand Marquis that ideally has the cd/tape combo like in pic related. I was gonna check out a pick and pull tomorrow and see if I can find one.

Will they be complicated to swap? it seems like I can pop the stereos out easily but am I gonna need extra wires to hook up or can I just swap and replug? from the exterior it seems like the police Crown Vics and Grand Marquis has roughly the same dashboard.

>>16183247
I'd pay good money to see you change that timing pump and water belt in ten minutes or less.

Hypothetically, is mixing a 5w-40 Full Synth oil with at 10w-40 Full Synth a bad idea?
Trying to settle a debate

>>16178706
I changed all four shocks on my Cherokee without ever touching a jack. You don't know shit, fuccboi.

>>16177838
Amazon. Cheaper than everyone else, and free shipping.

>>16184018
Do you mean in a bottle? I see no issues.

In your engine? It's not ideal, but it's not going to fuck anything up.

2004 nissin murano "fully loaded" (aka all the fancy shit)
86k miles
Dealer wants 8.5k (edmunds says it's going for 8.4k)
I want 8-8.3k and can probably get it for that much
Would this be good?
I don't care about speed (it's 3.5l v6 is enough to pass people on the highway just fine)
my priorities in a car are: me fitting > reliability > mpg > good enough zoom zoom > aux port > anything else.

I've got the car in my driveway right now as part of the 24 hour test drive so I can quickly test some things out tomorrow before I have to take it back.
My mom will be buying the car, then I'll be paying her back. She will be paying for insurance and probably some repairs if needed, so she wants to get something from a reputable dealership.

Good choice? y/n

>>16185805
oh and how hard do you guys think it would be to replace the radio with one with an aux port?
With my old explorer I'd just pop the bezel off and then it was like 3 screws and I could slide the radio out.

/o/ I'm considering getting a Suzuki Equator. How fucked am I?

I need to replace some rusty body parts on a 2002 dodge neon es, what's a cool body kit that'll make some retard pay 3k when I decide to sell it?

I was thinking the r34 but Idk, someone enlighten me

>>16181823
Sure there is anon, the most common way is to undercoat your car, I live in NYC and they did that in my '94 3000GT and it doesn't have any body rust.

Good luck anon.

>>16186722
Body kit hasn't really been a selling point since like 2005. Just replace the rusted panels and sell it as a fuel sipper.

>>16186777
I'll probably go with the cheapest and then paint it uniform, I'd feel bad selling a car that looks fast but isn't. If there's a cheap fast looking one though, look out

>>16168267

I know exactly why I have this boner.

First

What is an eagle talon? Google tells me it's a mitsubishi sold by "Eagle?"

Fwiw I'm looking at a 1991 eagle talon tsi, but the ad says "16g Evo turbo" and I'm not sure what he's referring to.

Are they nice at least?

Who is liable for any damages incurred during a test drive? For example, I'm test driving a brand new car and while pulling to the side of the road I skim the curb and scratch up the rims. Who is liable for those damages?

>>16187130
They are nice cars anon, google Eagle Talon and you'll see that it's basically a Mitsubishi Eclipse, only with different body parts.

Are ads like this legit? Seems scammy, but Idk man

Amy help on this?
>>16187548

>>16187607
WAG but it sounds like a security system was tripped and needs reset

>>16173075
Hm...Toyota MR2 222D Group S. WRC wasn't a thing yet back then (different name, different rules). And there are 3.
Fun fact: all three are quite a lot different. Longitudinal and horizontal engines, full front hood, partial front hoods, air intakes....

I wanna get some 14"x8"s for my turd, but I can't find anything good for relatively cheap. Is it completely stupid to pick up a cheap set of steelies and have them widened? I don't care much about looks.

I can't get a straight answer through Google, does anyone know offhand: the dodge Caliber comes in fwd with awd capability? Or something like that.

I've only seen full awd listed in automatic, but some pages say it's only fwd, some say fwd with awd, some mention a r/t or srt4.

Pls /o/, set me straight

>>16188097
>14" wheels

Thats why you can't find anything.

>>16188217
Its either FWD or AWD, there's no such thing as 'AWD capability'

The confusion probably stems from how most FWD biased AWD acts, most system will send power to the rear in the event of slippage, and only then but you have no control of when it does that.

What's good brand for seat/steering wheel covers? Looking for some for my 2016 lexus IS200t

>>16188429
Wheel skins

>>16188381
Yeah I know, 14x8 is a little bit weird of a size, but I like the look of meaty tires and 15s look too big. In general though, is it bad in any way to widen wheels?

How hard is it to replace a valve cover gasket? Mine's leaking and I don't have a ton of experience but I've done brakes and some other random stuff. Car is a 4cyl Corolla

>>16188611
what year?

Its usually a pretty easy task unless its some new fangled complexity

>>16188463
widening steelies is easy, but you cant really do it with alloys afaik short of buying custom 2 piece wheels.

>>16188626
It's a 2006. It's not a huge leak, just noticed a few drops on the ignition coils

Will a buy here pay here or dealership take actual cash? As in, 200 20 dollar bills?

>>16174227
shocks, ball joints, or bushings
on my car i believe its the front shocks

Q:
how to i get my fucking doors to quit rattling on the latches when going over bumps
I just redid the hinges and the doors close nicely, but they rattle now, like they're not making contact with the latch except to make an irritating rattling noise

>>16188854
Most used dealerships will, sure. Some new dealerships are touchy about it.

>>16188876
Some cars have rubber stoppers on the latches, and you might look at replacing the weather stripping

>>16188854
Any transaction over ten grand in cash you'll need to fill out irs paperwork, most dealerships will take cash regardless

I was watching OffTheRanch's video about the baja thing in Mexico and they showed a nightvision camera for night. How do you get set up with one of those/what do you need to look for when buying one?

I could potentially be driving in snow conditions for the first time in my life later this week, what do I need to know?

Serious question for you anons that are good with finances, would a bank give me an incredibly low interest loan for a car if I had all of the cash that the car costs (plus extra money) in savings?
Could I put it down as a 'credit-building' loan if so?
I'd like to keep 100% of the money for the loan in savings, to be automatically taken out every month for the payment, to build my credit for a while, instead of paying outright cash for the vehicle.
I hear this would also let me haggle the price a bit lower for the vehicle, since the dealership gets bonuses/incentives for getting people financed. (I posted the exact same text in a separate thread, just trying to get fairly quick and knowledgeable answers)

when I get my first car and inevitably need repairs, how good of a place is canadian tire to get tools/parts and advice? it seems like they'd be overpriced

>>16168267
Sorry, am visit from /pol/
What kind of rally car is the black and how can I get(I know it is modified but still at least model)

>>16168378
No, had very similar damage(actually a bit less since the battery was fuckin fine) and it cost me $1200 and that was WITH the $400 discount I got since I'm good friends with both the father and the son who owns and runs the body shop I took it to

Why do US cars have both mph and kmh on the speedo but in other markets its only kmh listed instead of both?

>>16189808

stay off the brakes

>>16191088

incase they come up here to Canada. the USA and one tiny ass country in west Africa are the only ones still on the Imperial system, whats the point of having Imperial anywhere else but north America

>>16191088
So in canada you use metric but are lhd? Sorry for the stupidity Ausfag here

>>16172813
1st gen DOHC and SRT-4s are good

>>16191112
See 16191120

>>16191120

yes, here in Canada any vehicles sold from North America have KMH in large and MPH in small. imported cars like Japanese and British RHD cars are obviously just KMH

anyone know how to fix a loose accelerator pedal?
the pedal isnt physically connected to the cable so the spring causes it to rise further than the cable and leave a huge dead zone
its as if the cable was too long for my car model but the last guy just got the closest size he had and worked with that

>>16191333
Cables stretch over time. Replace the cable

>>16189827
No it doesn't work that way.
