Why the hell won't anyone offer the "performance" version of these cars when the sedan and hatchback versions are 100% identical in almost every way? There's other cars that don't have a hatchback equivalent like the SRT4, so that's one thing, but then even Dodge made the PTGT.

whats next, the fucking brakes are going to be discontinued before you actually buy the vehicle off the lot? fuck honda.
2008 golf MK5 R32.Took it in to get the timing chain done and it was off a slight rattle and was told the car wasn't putting as much power as it was meant to on my last service.
Gave the mechanics the go ahead to pull apart everything to diagnose it and yes it was the timing chain. It's out of timing, stretched. The mechanic also told me I'd need to get the camshaft adjuster done as well (part number 022109088L).
Total is around $4.8K (Ausfag dollars)
$1100 to initially break apart everything and see if its the timing chain (encase I decided to chain my mind and go somewhere else)
If it was the timing chain $3200 in total with parts and labour.
Camshaft adjuster $1400 dollaroos for the part.
I gave him the go ahead but just the need peace of mind that this does seem about right..
Only paid 14k for the car when I purchased it with 95,000ks. Currently on 155,000 (had no issues at in all those 60,000ks.
you cant, you literally fucking cant..
Is anyone just fed up with this bullshit? DSG farts and exhaust pops are 10x more annoying than just a normal loud exhaust. Why can't they be banned or regulated against?
It's so ridiculous how there are dB limits or whatever but you can have a stupid pop that could probably ruin your hearing for life instead of that.

Should I do it?
I mean I have never seen a guy like pic related in a Honda Civic
Are they weak frame or leaf spring rear end?
also, any plans to change your car or upgrade?
How do you find a good mechanic. I lack the tools, skills, and facilities to work on my car.
Worse, I live in an apartment and doing maintenance is prohibited.
I need to do the following maintenance items:
Oil and filter change
Transmission flush
Differential flush
New brake rotors and pads all 4 wheels
Flush brake system
Tensioner pulley making noise at high RPM
Suspension makes creaking noises
Other necessary maintenance items
I'd like to find an honest and good mechanic like the car wizard.
I'm in Los Angeles and have a 2015 Camaro 1LE
Thanks in advance
Post em
Previous anon who talked about the 2005 nissan pathfinder coolant leak in the engine. About 2 quarts, the oil cooler looks dirty, but the seal was fine. I'm going to have to take apart the gasket. A compression test works to figure out which side no? I don't want to go through the effort of doing both and I'd like to inspect.
personally i own two older benz 1995 c220/1997 c230
i think theyre great cars i bought them both used.... one for 1200$/2400$ respectively and did a lot of work on both of them myself to get them better and keep improving on both
they have only get better the longer ive had them not worse
what im getting at is whats better? buying new cars or buying old cars and putting a 'monthly payment' into them to repair or keep running? theres a tipping point where its not worth fixing cars but some cars are actually worth fixing because it actually helps them stay on the road and sometimes you go a season or a year without putting money in except to fill up the gas tank

I'm a professional driver and drive heavy old manual trucks all day, something to grip the steering wheel that isn't hot, is thin enough to feel the wheel but doesn't get shitty rubber all over my fingers. Other glove recommendations for different applications welcome as well. I'd like to make a real general out of this instead of it just being my shitty QTDDIOT.

When roads are wet, if I weave in and out of a puddle I'll get this sound:
https://youtu.be/pkgOrXpQjcI
But it goes away if I do the same motion again over some water.
v6 4.0 motor, truck cranks, but wont start. occasionally I cant hear the fuel pump engage when turning key, when trying to start the truck, it fires up, only to sputter out and die. issue does not occur in the morning, only when truck has been sitting in the heat for a period of time.
What ive replaced, Inertia Switch, Fuel Filter, Fuel Pump Relay.
No codes pop when I run a scanner.
Any advice is helpful
It makes sense, but I still can't quote wrap my head around it. Hybrid forums are their own level of cancer and everyone with a profile older than 10-15 years is a know-it-all retard, so it can be seen easily in their echo chambers. Of course there is other people with their open reasons to hate, like oil companies that hate the danger to their business, boomers who are confused and frightened by anything more complex than a TV, and the fact that most hybrids are soulless eggs on wheels making enthusiasts cringe, but I would have figured a cost-saving measure like hybrids would have caught on faster. Were only just now seeing normal looking hybrids while pure EV cars still have a ways to go. The tech has been around for 20 years but hasn't changed much, meanwhile most other tech would be unrecognizable 20 years ago.
Tl;dr Did shitty hippies and smug aunts in their Prius they can barely drive cause that much damage to the image of hybrids as a whole?
If there's any interest I have a spot picked out.
Also general starlink meetup thread I guess? C'mon be spontaneous.

Also, is the 2016 better than the 2017? The engine changed from an 1.8L to a 2.0L but HP/Torque/MPG are nearly identical. Also production moved from Korea to Mexico.
Are there any other newer shitboxes I should consider that aren't Toyota/Honda? Ford Fusion maybe?

In this one I just hate how it covers the bottom emblem.
There's really no choice but to purchase a CUV or a Truck.
The question now is, what will you be purchasing, anon? I'll probably buy an old 4runner.
It can be as rediculus as you want as long as its your dream car.
Mine is a 1965 or 1966 Mustang Fastback. I love the profile and i dont like how the roof went all the way back starting in 1967. The 65/66 is the perfect mustang in my eyes. I hope to one day own one. Currently have a 66 coupe im working on. Yes, i know i can convert it, but i dont want to do that.
Teach me how to drive stick. Any special technique?
2) Conceptualize this sound.
3) Get your recording device ready.
4) Vocalize this car sound, and record it.
5) Upload this recording to Vocaroo (https://vocaroo.com/).
6) Post Vocaroo.
7) ????
8) Win if you get a (You).
9) Innate profit.
9.5) You get bonus points for accurate imitations of failing vehicles.

I hated the route. It's extremely bland, tedious and boring, specially if you don't speak Russian and can't get shitfaced to make friends (because you have to drive).
So what I did was I changed the course.
What would your route look like? name stops, destinations and countries to visit/dodge on the way. Also, what about the gap? Go down India? I don't really like India, also to pick up on the other thread, what car?
I'd go with a camper with aircon, that looks weathered from the outside, but it fairly mint inside and most essentially, get a lad onboard.
I mean apart from buying foreign?
Chickentax was common knowledge and at some point a wide spread, open discussion, since it was an integral part of buying foreign trucks.
In general, let's talk about that and post utes.
looking for the cheapest way to get the car sorta nice (not perfect) so i can sell it.
>pi swap with 230k km on the engine
Should I pull the trigger g/o/ys?
It has only 1 owner, summer car, new clutch, new gears, manual. I read about that there very reliable, what can I expect to break?
