Hey /hg/, just purchased my first Honda last Friday. 1990 CRX HF. Runs great except it now has a stalling issue when coming to a stop...

Goal is to use this car for pleasure, and possibly modify for time attack next year when I am ready.

I've been looking to buy a car that I can drive pretty aggressively without standing out too much to the police. I know Camaro's and Challengers are cop magnets so I was thinking about going with something modern and less powerful that I can use and abuse. DO you have any modern cars that that have surprisingly good power that I can fly under the radar with?

That's technically the main metric used to determine whether a car is good or not used by several publications as well as Automotive awards, how is it good if the total cost of ownership is much higher than it'd competitors? How do you get joy from driving it when it's in the shop/garage more often than on the road? Fuck off with your feeble minded bullshit, fucking idiot

went to check out a 130k mile $3000 NB miata nearby today.
drove great, mechanically a peach.
in terms of rust on the undercarriage bits, all the bolts looked fine, just surface rust

the only bubbling or visible rust on the body was here, just below the driver's side door. However it was pretty bad, like a big flap of metal i could grab and bend a little

i'm curious, how much does it usually cost to get this kind of panel cut out, the rust grinded down, some POR15 applied, and a metal piece welded back over it?
$200?
$1000?
$3000?
>>
>>15758196
Based on bodywork that I've paid for in the past, it'll probably cost a bit over $500. You could always ask for an estimate at a body shop
>>
>>15758224
hmm, considering the rest of the car is extremely nice and well cared for, $500 might not be too bad

this would be paired with enlarging the drain holes as well as plasti-dipping the side skirts to give it a little definition but mostly for protection

How can I learn to drive manual? It sounds like it might be more fufilling than automatic. More to do. More skill needed. I've driven automatic all my life and may be getting a manual car. Ford Fiesta to be specific. Either manual or auto. But I feel like I should give manual a shot since all I've ever had in my life is automatic.

Note my uncle has a manual transmission Toyota that I could practice with if I ask nicely

>>15757797
For most people unfamiliar with how clutches work it make take a little longer than 10mins

Regardless OP we can't tell if you'll enjoy it or not but, 80% of learning manual is clutch control, if you can get the car moving, with out bunny hopping or burning the clutch too badly, then you've pretty much learned.
>>
>>15757812
There's a ton of Youtube videos that go into detail about this, but taking off in a manual car basically goes like this:

>press clutch pedal all the way in
>put shifter in first
>slowly lift clutch pedal up until you can feel the car start moving slightly
>give it a little more gas
>slowly let clutch pedal the rest of the way out
>>
just learned manual a couple of months ago. bought a 1k dollar car to practice on. learned in like a week or so.
>>
>>15757812
Watch a few youtube videos on how to use the clutch.

Stalling is where the engine isn't given enough gas to overcome the car weight, and falls below the revs needed to stay on.

Yes its bad but you'll stall a few times regardless before getting the hang of it.
>>
Thanks guys I will look at YouTube and then try to drive manual myself if I ask him nicely.

On a side note anyone on /o/ have an automatic transmission Ford Fiesta? How is it? Does it give you issues?

It does happen. Have you actually ever read the release forms you sign when you drop your vehicle off? It's pretty much a golden ticket for them to do whatever the hell they want and hold the balance as a lien against the title of your car.

Funny enough, the best/most honest mechanics I have ever dealt with never even used release forms
>>
>>15758145
What would I need more than that for, huh? Like I said, everything is either 10,12, or 14mm, with a couple exceptions. Anything smaller than 10, I've got box wrenches.
Why would I go spend like $80 on a socket set that has a ton of sizes I don't need and will never use, when I could spend $5 at the pawn shop on a handful of the ones I need? The only problem I've ever had involving my car and sockets was this 12mm that was like, 12.5mm for whatever reason.
>>
I think I paid like $45 for a giant craftsman set of 1/4" and 3/8" sockets, from like 1/8" sockets to 1" I find needing all kinds of weird sizes, including metric. Usually weird sizes like 17mm or 31mm too.

>you painted that caliper didn't you
How ever can you tell?
Just kidding, i was just gonna wash them and touch up some chips, and did that (plus the overspray) on the drivers side. I then discovered I'd have to take the calipers completely off to re-grease the sliders, replace bleeders, and replace piston boots. I ended up wire wheeling all the paint back off and painting them off the car.
Turned out pretty well, I think.

Worked a bit on the passengers side today, taking a break because I have sweat dripping into my eyes.

Things left to do:
Front tires need mounted to wheels
Aftermarket fuel pump wiring harness needs installed
Need third brake light
Adjustment to drivers headlight (motor wiring and light position)
Alignment
Passengers brake caliper rebuilt
