Post pics and discuss Yotas you own(ed) or wish you owned
Ask for technical advice, but please include year, make, model, chassis code, where you are in the world generally speaking, and as much info as possible
Complain about rust, teach newbs how to wrench, laugh at muh truck engine, brag about your high score odometer readings, and bask in the general greatness that is old school Toyota

Do you have any tips on how to add horse power,(im well aware that its a 1.7 and a 17year old one at that)

I've asked this a few times before around here but just want to get some more opinions but my 11' civic may possibly have bad piston rings. One day I did a compression test for the fuck of it and found my 2nd cylinder was a bit low on PSI, I believe the others were around 160PSI and the 2nd was like 120-130 or so, the other cylinders were fine. I poured some oil in there and tested again and the compression went up which I heard means the rings could be bad. Is this something I should get fixed soon or just ignore it and hope for the best? I'd like to keep it for another 3-4 years max so not sure if I should risk it, I really don't want to dump the $1,000 or more to fix it and putting in a new engine doesn't really seem worth it with the mileage on the car. The car runs fine and the engine doesn't have any weird noises, it runs pretty rough but I discovered an exhaust leak yesterday at the bottom of my cat converter due to that area being rusted to shit so I'll probably install a new cat with new bolts and shit and that should make my car run smoother, the cat also is probably clogged, too.
What do you guys think? Keep the car and ignore it or abandon ship and sell it now while it still has some value to it.
Currently I have ~$11,000 in my bank account and my credit score is ~760. I’m 20 years old, I don’t have any debt and I’m not planning on moving out of my family’s house because I am Mexican and it’s common to live with your parents well I to your 30s even after getting married.
What should I get? I don’t mind financing a car as long as it’s good.

A local taxi company's owner is selling his personal use Lincoln Town Car with 65k miles. No accidents, clean interior, non smoker, car was serviced by the dealer since purchase. Asking $10,500. It has brand new Firestone tires, new rotors, and 4 new sets of pads with a fresh alignment. I'm not even about to haggle honestly. Any reason to avoid this car like the plague?
I have a feeling that in 10 years it would be hard to find manuals even in the used market.

Is that why the BRZ is so popular? Honestly I think the thing needs a turbo just like the WRX, but there has to be some reason why they didn't include it.
Posts cars that are impossible to find in this day and age.
Low production numbers, reclaimed by rust, or riced to death.
Why don't car engines have these problems when hot-starting? Is the ECU just handling all this shit for me? If that's the case why don't they just add ECUs to plane engines?
Is it worth it if everything checks out?

Minor things, big things both.
Let’s hear your stories.
Now the Gallardo is a $60,000 rattlebox, the F430 is around $110,000 and the 2005-era Ford GT is a $500,000 car. How could Lamborghini and Ferrari let this happen?

Thanks in advance to the anons who are kind enough to check!
i already sing along, but i think it'd be nice having a little archive of it.
not even good at singing and i dont want to make money from this, i just love night drives and singing!

unless you're going on a long roadtrip, which i imagine the people sitting in the backseat of this car that it's marketed toward would not be doing, then most of the shit in here wouldn't be put to use much, if at all.
I'm looking for a game that (I think) has a red sports car, perhaps a dodge viper in the starting/splash screen.

we dont have a built in garage, but we have a nice carport built which leads into a driveway to the street. It's built right out of the side door of the house along our privacy fence. Im hoping that since it will be kind of boxed in (privacy fence, house, and another vehicle) it will be relatively safe from element damage over time/vandalism. Where I live it only gets down to about 0(32f) but can get as high as 40(104f) in the summer.
Is this just a bad idea and if I want to keep a nice car should I just invest in a closed garage first?
because valve adjustment is basically adjusting the timing of the valves, right?
I read some stuff about valve adjustment in my manual and I was just wondering- isn't it the same as finding TDC?
Doin oil changes and inspections on half the fleet. Jeep GC needs struts, what’s the verdict on these dirt cheap RockAuto struts? I’m not planning on having this car another 10 years, but I’ll spend the $160 on KYB if the cheap ones are absolute shit.
I only pray that Nissan's new management can turn them around or else the entire country is hopeless.

Is wiring in an interrupter switch what I need, or is there something easier? Normally the stock DRLs would do exactly what I'm trying to achieve here, but on these cars the drl is the highbeam being run at half power which I won't be able to use for my halos.
Is it too much for a small hatchback? We all know within 2-3 months there will be a stage 1 upgrade giving it over 500bhp for a few hundred bucks
Everyone kept telling me the OPF regulations would kill performance cars and HP and power figures would be going down but this is genuine madness that anyone with 35k can drive around with a 500bhp mini hyperhatch

it's literally just a better hatchback/wagon in virtually every metric, and certain characteristics such as soulless drivetrains and being overweight are merely reflections of the contemporary auto industry as a whole rather than being exclusive to the crossover vehicle type specifically.
If you hate the idea of everyone on the road driving a 10 ton XXXL SUV deathmobile deluxe^tm then you should be happy that people are buying what is essentially on average just the direct evolutionary step of an old Subaru Forester - but with a slight lift, a bit more internal volume, and probably more versatile and useful than any other single personal vehicle type?
You still have plenty of non-CUV new vehicles being made and offered for more specific applications and for fun aims, so it's not like the CUV killed the sportster or the offroader compact SUV.
I can't see myself ever buying one save for my spouse when we have kids, but I can't deny that it's objectively the most useful type of car for your average normie
Also, name a group better for going on 1am cruises than Depeche Mode, I'll wait.

You will not impress anyone, they will just think "Ewww a Kia". If you want that buy an Audi or BMW
They dont have high performance
They are not driver's cars
They are not super reliable
They are not luxurious and comfy unless you buy 10k worth of extras
Besides the regional managers at KIA offices I don't see why anyone would drive one

Looking to get my first car. My budget is real low ($2000CAD) so I'm expecting it to need some love. Right now, I'm looking into this baby, the 1998 Mitsubishi 3000GT. Is this a good starter car? It's cheap as hell to insure and I don't mind getting my hands dirty with some maintenance once in a while. But I've read a lot of good and bad about this car, what is /o/'s opinion on it?

What would you do guys? Are diesel Jeeps based? I've been running old Mercedes (and a couple of BMWs and VWs) on offroad diesel and I've never had an issue. I guess a nicely filtrated oil can do just as good. Thanks!

The only issue is, the engine is a 2.0D Boxer Diesel.
Any of you have any experience with it? Is this as trash as it sounds, or is it actually a good engine?
After some search, I found pre 2010 models had serious shortblock failures. This is 2011 but I'm still not convinced.
