Have you ever noticed how tire prices have not gotten cheaper despite being a 100 year old technology?
>>28801309My point is that if I can do that with no fade then obviously it isn't an issue on the street - as I said in the 2nd half of the post you're talking about.And that's true; the proof is in the pudding and people would be dying all over the place if your brakes got molten-hot by 1-2 braking events.
>>28801096Our VAT is 20%. The reasoning is the sidewall size as 35. I just checked for the same tyre, except at a 30 and they were £250, so it would have been £500 with fitting.
>>28801098This guy gets it. Why does a top trim Corolla have fuckin 18" wheels

>>28802121>not a speck of dirt on her hands or clothesPretty much. I've never had an auto repair where I don't get dirt and grime on my hands.

>a car made for THE FEELING>auto onlyI don't get it. It's like making a very good beer but only sell it as non alcoholic
>>28802386Auto is for sporty cars to get the racer feel.Manual is for poorfags and is used on every shitbox out there.It's only in America that manual tx is considered like some sort of thing only the TRUE masters can handle.
>all these Europeans defending the worsening of sports carsThis is exactly why cars would suck if they only appealed to Europeans who don’t like fin cars.
as someone who appreciates the a110 and wishes it had a manual, a lot of people here misunderstand why it not coming with a limited slip isn't that big of a deal. locking the diff on decel is advantageous for FR cars with front weight bias/weight transfer. for a MR/RR car you lose a lot of rotational yaw on decel at corner entry with a locking diff and you don't even get that much of a benefit on accel at corner exit due to the rear weight bias being centered closer to the rear tires, so your inside rear tire doen't need a whole lot of help to grip especially if the car is power limited. I'm sure it makes a miniscule difference on some cars but it's not enough to justify the extra price and slightly worse handling on what is supposed to be a fun and nimble car.
>>28803315Europeans used to drive manuals 99.9% of the time.When you want "feels", you get a semi-auto car with paddles to get the racer feel.
>>28803362The only manuals Europeans drive are diesels where they just leave it in one gear the whole time and let the torque pull them out.Europeans hate any kind of driving engagement. And their cars are boring slop for boomers who just want to Laron as F1 drivers.
>>28780953Tested 3 of six ignition coils and all worked fine. Took fuel pump and fuel injector relays out. Took all six spark plugs out. A bit black and gap is slightly larger than should be. Computer now disables spark. How am I supposed to test them? I want to know if these were causing an issue before I tidy them up
>B3000, M5od transmission>Stuck out of gears when cold and have to jam it in>Everything it normal once it gets good and warm>Felt a little grinding action one time when stationaryI did have the clutch master cyinder replaced recently. Maybe it just needs to be rebled? But why would it start doing it now and not when it came out of the shop?
>>28801374I didn't get my loicense until my mid 20s. It's fine
I'm this anon>>28799649I got my wheel bearings done using my dad's equipment but I had a question with the axle nut spec. The service manual called for 80nm (59ftlbs) plus 90°I already had new axle nuts so I torqued them to 80nm and got a 2ft breaker bar to rotate them the last 90°The issue is even standing on the breaker bar I couldn't get them past like 70-80°I'm like 230lbs standing on a 2ft breaker bar and that feels like a LOT of torque for those nuts. I might be overthinking it and I probably won't be taking the wheels apart again for a long time but could putting that much torque on the axle nut crush my new bearings prematurely even if I couldn't quite make the +90° spec?
>>28803320Probably tight enough then

Where's my electric convertible? Why are EV makers a bunch of fags that refuse to make cabriolets?

If they make a convertible you could get out when there's a battery fire. You're not supposed to survive.

One of Florida's biggest racetracks has recently banned electric vehicles from racing on their drag strip. Reasons include>The battery may release toxic and flammable gas after a collision>First responders may not be able to confirm that the car is "off">The car poses electrocution hazardAmong others.
>>28802965Hybrid batteries are typically 40 to 50 times smaller than BEV batteries. The same problems exist, you are correct, but they're 40 to 50 times less severe.
>>28802718They literally do?
>>28803072Not always. The M5 still has 1200 fucking pounds of batteries in that pigfat piece of shit.
>>28803356That's because it's a PHEV. I agree if they're banning BEVs they should ban PHEVs for the same reason -- too much battery. But traditional hybrids and performance hybrids have much, much, much smaller batteries because the battery only serves as a temporary storage unit in between the two motors instead of as a long term energy storage to be charged externally.

Everyone says that early 2000s Toyotas last forever, but what's really the mileage at which you would never buy one?
>>28802908Based maintainer, 2000s cars are shockingly nice even to this day when the maintenance is caught up with, and the engines don't have ridiculous wear on them after all this time like mine even with 180,000 miles, it's just fucking crazy how people will cry over maintenance cost like power steering leaks and suspension, but trade the Camry in for gamestop money and pay over $600 a month for an economy car which then needs all that shit by the time it's paid off and has miles, and it's not like an automatic Camry is going to be just so enjoyable to drive just because it's a 2026 and not a 2004, they're the same type of slow ass efficient car made for cruising.
>>28802917You nailed it anon. It’s such a comfortable daily driver and really hasn’t needed much to keep it going. It’s crazy to think that instead of fixing something that will last another 100k miles or 20 years, people would rather pay $600+ a month for five years for the same appliance like driving experience. Going to keep my lame Camry until the engine/trans shits the bed but even then, those replacements aren’t all that much compared to a new car.
>>28799670did someone back into your car with a flatbed or something?
>>28799626>what's really the mileage at which you would never buy one?Probably around 200k. At that mileage, a Toyota owner will commit to the 400k-500k mile range or they'll dump it because it's got a repair that outvalues the car and they don't want to pay for it.There's no repair that's truly expensive on a Toyota, just really tedious, and labor costs can easily spiral out of control for the really annoying work.
>>28802927>It’s crazy to think that instead of fixing something that will last another 100k miles or 20 years, people would rather pay $600+ a month for five years for the same appliance like driving experience.The going rate to hire a mechanic is insane these days. I hired one out to replace transaxle seals and CV axles since I had other things going on that weekend. May as well opt for an oil and ATF change, and new front brakes if the car is there for the day. Given that's the only major service I've ever had to do in the past 16 years, I'd say the car performed well, but I digress.$1500 out of the $2000 bill was labor. I can see where people could become very distressed by such a cost, because they'll worry that an old car will slap them with a $2000 emergency randomly and frequently.Depending on what they buy, the car could easily do just that. If it's some Japanese brand, it's occasional, although the newer Toyotas seem to be having some very serious faults in engineering, no matter how much they point the finger at manufacturing. If it's the sorostitute TikTok special like a Jeep or a German or British "luxury" car, four/five-figure invoices will mercilessly pummel their already indebted finances like a battered spouse.

>>28801859>High trim level survivorship biasBullshit.Most common trim level available (then and today) were/are XLTEngine size was independent from options for Custom, XL, XLT and XLT Lariat.The V8 was only standard in Eddie Bauers and special models like Nite.I know this is difficult.for a zoomer to understand but the options list was an actual list. If you didn't want it you didn't have to get it.Unlike modern cars where trim levels automatically denote what options you get.My XLT Bronco had 90% of options. Captains chairs, push bumper, premium two-tone paint (not just the base two-tone paint option), power everything, cruise control and even the 29" tire option over the factory 27" (kind of rare).And it was ordered with the 300.
