After German designers moved to China, the world has finally acknowledged how amazing Chinese cars are.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Egger
some of the most iconic german cars were designed by chinese though, he was also behind the e36

Mx-5, Miata, Roadster, Fiata General Can words describe the fragrance of the very breath of spring?Old: >>28861249
>>28921547lol love these little gay cars. i learned how to drive manual because i bought my first one and had to be at work in an hour, which was an hour awayi just started at a new company and they were asking me what car i drove and i said i had a miata for good times. kid next to me sold his nc on the west coast before moving east
>>28920803I don't believe so, I've ordered a new master/slave set as there is some moisture at the clutch pedal anyway
How important is the special washer that goes between the two PPF to transmission bolts? Just realized this NB doesn't have one, though it's weird there aren't witness marks where one would have been, and I'm finding a few on google images that don't have one either. My other lower trim NB does have one.
I need a reminder that I don't need a manual every spring. I get itchy and restless while the weather is shit, but once it gets nice and I can drive like a retard in traffic the automatic miata proves itself by feeling like a race car with the paddle shifters, especially now I have the exhaust on and can hear the engine whirring. Now I just wish it had a DCT for faster shifting.
Say herro to my little friend. 6AN fuel filter from DeatschWerks. This should be the last piece before I tear apart and toss all this OEM fuel line junk.
How much should I expect to pay to get my windows tinted?
>>28923528maybe you should look up local businesses that perform window tinting and check their prices you stupid fucking troglodyte dipshit cunt moron
>>28923528I just got mine done for $380ish? Front window brow, 4 doors, and rear window. 20% Xpel. Don't go for the cheapest tinter in town. You want a good film (Xpel or 3M) and a good installer with a warranty.
>>28923528$200 for dyed. Ceramic is more.
>>28923528Depends on the car and the film and the installer. Get somebody with a building, not somebody who drives out to you. Use ceramic tint only, fuck dye.
>>28923533>Use ceramic tint only, fuck dye.Depends on where you live. Unless you live somewhere like the sun belt or south, you don't really need ceramic.

Hi there. I want to street race on twisty roads with some people, just for fun. I want to do this in a controlled way, with at least three people: two who race and one who drives the track two minutes before the race and waits at the finish line. All three are in a group call. It's very important that no racer has a big ego or does it for money, because then accidents will happen.I only want to do this because racetracks are expensive and far away from my location. Is anyone interested and from Bavaria in Germany?Telegram @bTTw201
>>28922027Why need two? The race happens in one direktion and i dont think the civis would catch up to the racers. So one at the finishline would be enough.
be sure to live stream it and share the link so we can all laugh at your mangled corpse
>>28922163You need two. Trust me. It's how us OGs ran it up.It's not just civis catching up, but officers. Just trust me. Get one for each. Do not be lazy just because you're doing a downhill run only.
>>28922232Bro what schould i do if my buddy says that cops are comming up from the starting line? Drive faster? Bro thats a fucking race, i already would drive near as fast as i could. Aint no way a copcar beating an DTM car on a twisted road.
>>28922319You do realize it's not only a lone cop right?>Flock system>Heli-fuckers>fucking planes now>motorcycle copsthe radio is the biggest threat, you aren't beating the one cop going down the hill. You're trying to beat the radio.If your buddy warns you then you stop being retarded and code switch to a good civilian just cruising on a nice day (Lie nigga, lie) Cop asks why is Van A or B parked then you just say it was overheating and you're letting the engine cool off until one can make the distance home.Or you can chimp out and try and kick 1.Comment too long.

Tonight ITT: >your car>did Clarkson, May or Hammond like it>what do you like personally about it
Only car that I (actually my dad) own that I know for a fact Clarkson tested was the E28 M5, which he listed as one of his favorites of all time. In an obscure special, he said of the LHS that it was not bad. My dad bought one back in like, 2007 for basically nothing. For a cheap car, it was excellent. Had he paid real money, I can't imagine it'd have been good.

>>28923490>What do I like about it, you dumb assholeIt is an E28 M5. It does everything well, makes beautiful noises, and goes fast.

Hello, and welcome to 4chan's Weekend Wrenching General. In this thread, you can post your repairs, big or small. Blog posting encouraged. Wrenchlet questions welcomed.
>>28923410I posted before this refreshed; something may be wrong with your linkage from the shifter to the transmission if the clutch pedal is pressed and the clutch disengages. That tells me its between the physical lever inside the cab and the transmission itself. Either linkage rods/cables, or worn arms on the exterior.
>>28923224Go ahead and try to save face, parts swapper.The tranny fluid was due anyway. I did troubleshoot the codes, just reasoned put that an entire bank of coils probably didnt all die at once.If I did it your way, I'd have wasted an extra 200 bucks and still would've had to replace a bad IACV, done a drain and fill, and eventually land on the VVT.Newsflash, engines need metered fuel, air, and oil. They also need to know where the camshaft is. I found issues with all those things, and now my engine getting the right air, oil, and info. On what planet would it have been smarter to just throw some plugs and coils at it for it not to work?This is exactly why I dont hang out with "cay guise."
>>28923415Thank u fren>>28923418Hmm You could be right but the gears go in fine when the cars is running, when the clutch is pressed (it's still lifted) I tensioned the cable but the spinning is still there on neutral. Although I may not like it, maybe the clutch arm thingy wasn't in the right position when i installed it. Or maybe since I didn't have an alignment tool something shifted inside.Grok says I may have installed the disc backwards haha, but no way because i checked the mark on the disc to the flywheel. It also says maybe I didn't screw one of the pressure plate bolts enough.I'm very tempted to just lower the car and see if the spinning is too noticeable and if isn'tThe only good thing about this is that now I atleast know what shit has to come off and what does not. Last time I took off a bunch of stuff that wasn't necessary.Anyways, thank u all for the replies. Is a lot more fun and helpful having u guys guide me here. <3
>>28923461>Or maybe since I didn't have an alignment tool something shifted inside.The clutch didn't come with a plastic alignment tool? It fuckin should have and if not go buy one (or print one). You've done it once, disassemble it all and do it again going a little slower now that you know what you're doing. Also look for scuff/scrape marks indicating something rubbing due to incorrect installation.
>>28923189>find a relay that works, but is non-essential, like for your horn or headlights. Does your horn honk? Then that's a good relay. Swap that good relay with your sus relay. If the problem goes away, then sus relay was bad. Bonus: with the sus relay plugged in where the hirn relay was, does the horn still work? Of yes, sus relay isnt bad.
I can pick between a Suzuki Ignis 2005 or an Impreza RX 2008, both seem to be in working condition and roughly £1000.
The only thing which puts me off the Impreza is the shape. The Ignis' box just looks way comfier to sit in.
>>28922938It grows on you. I initially hated the way it looked and got it because it was the best manual non-FWD car I could afford at the time.But when it finally got towed away last week I got all teary-eyed. It was kinda cute.
>>28922942Not really about looks as much as comfort, idk why every modern hatchback has the exact same dimensions with zero headroom in the back.
>>28922985I thought it was very comfortable, maybe too comfortable. But, I had a '90s miata before and have another '90s miata now and I think they're comfortable too so idk. I don't feel comfortable in huge SUVs made for fat people, I wanna be bolstered in down low.
>>28922868>Suzuki i4>Subaru flat 4This is the most obvious reliability vs performance decision I've ever seen.I'd choose the Suzuki. The only time I'd get a boxer would be if it were a bike or if I didn't have to pay for the maintenance.
Last one >>28829923Looking at buying a Honda? Post here and we'll tell you our elitist asshole opinions!Need help identifying a chassis?http://www.superstreetonline.com/how-to/chassis-suspension/1312-honda-chassis-code-checklist/
>>28921206I did an oil filter relocation on my D series. Form the factory it's between the engine and the firewall, above the axle, and below the intake manifold. I relocated it to be near the battery tray, but I was a silly goose and didn't realize you need more oil and perhaps a better oil pump. Ended up with catastrophic engine damage and an oil pan full of bearings revving my D17 at 7500 RPM. I would not recommend messing with that stuff unless you know what you're doing.
>>28921763She cute. I have thing for smol jap cars, this and the Swift GT.
