Scissor lift in garage with low ceiling - yes or no?I'm losing my mind when I have to work laying under the car, using jack stands. Would this be an improvement? I still would not be able to get under the car while standing up, but at least I could be hunched like a medieval miner?
>>29018944Yes they do. Also fuck working on the floor. Took me like 2 hours to change my headers and overpipe on my frs crawling around on my back. Would have been 15 with a proper lift. My garage ceiling is only like 6 feet when my garage door is open.
>>29018944The ones we had in our vocational school 2 decades ago had locks to them.I think you can see the locks on these too in the middle of the base plate, a cam and tooth type of thing or whatever you yanks call them.You engage them by lifting it until it goes click then backing down until it locks into place.
Think you need doggy board instead
The real question is why are you spending so much time under your car?Ya theyre nice to sit on a stool and do brakes and suspension but they limit what you can access by design. Youre not pulling a transmission or exhaust with one for example.
>>29018941Benefits of this over quickjacks? Obviously it can go higher, but it's still not high enough that you can actually stand under it, and the access seems way better with a quickjack.

>>29018176Toyota sold 480k Rav4 in US alone in 2025. 190k over 6 years is not a lot. Porsche makes 50k 911s a year
>>29018176there are over 1 million LC/LA Challengers
>>29018966>>29018970The only one of these cars that's comparable to a Corvette is the 911, and they're in the same ballpark.No fucking shit Toyota can crank out a million Rav4s, that doesn't make the Corvette rare. If you can readily buy one for <$40k it's not rare.
>>29017877What? I can buy a vette right now.
Which gay roadster should I buy for weekend fun? I don't necessarily want speed, I just want a small tossable car. How gay is the bmw of this era?
>>29018791Get some real sticky shit in there.
>>29018777>treat it like it's somehow special and not an embarassing hair-dresser car.When you buy new and never sell and maintain it then it's actually a good car. Why else would they do it? I don't even fuck with eurotrash.
>>29018748Just get the second gen one
>>29018748Like another anon mentioned, it's a "fake sport car" but nonetheless dope af to drive around if you're looking for a more comfy drive. The other other anon mentioned Gen2 which I'd advise too if you're going for an SLK, but they will be more expensive than Audi TTs if you want "deutsche qualidad" (kek)
>>29018902Sure, but there were many cars to buy twenty years ago, why you pick an SLK320 is beyond me.
Truly, one of the most beautiful automobiles to ever exist: the LX-body Dodge Challenger.
>>29018972it does not come with flappy paddles from the factory. but the weird ass rear mounted controls can be replaced by flappies apparently
>>29018976yes it doesthe higher end SXT trims like Super Track Pack all have them from factory.they're very easy to add aftermarket.even without them you can always shift gears manually with the shifter in the console like a BMW, unlike mustang ecoboost that has no manual controls at all.in fact, the stock, non-paddled radio buttons actually have the electronics for the shift paddle inside them, including a hidden membrane button, and all you need to do is remove a plastic cover and clip the metal paddle into the module, then use alfaobd or a tazer to enable the shift paddle feature. so technically every single challenger has shift paddles they are just disabled in software. the same is true for the radar cruise control buttons, if you take the poverty cover off the right side of the steering wheel, there are buttons underneath, because dodge uses the same electronics in every single car.
>>29011289I like this picture
does your car have the 8hp45 in it? how do you like it?
>>29019007yesit's based, fast and smooth, really reliable, fun and responsive in manual mode and comfy in auto mode. i will never go back to poverty manuals or anything with a lesser automatic. zf8 is god tier.
LOL, I did it. 3lb motorcycle battery on order for the Coupe to save 40lbs.So I'll need to figure out some way to connect it.A jump pack for backup is under a pound.
>>29018538Z3 is already in the trunk.
>>29016920Just get an XS Power battery idiot
>>29018396I went from 153 a week ago to 138 today.Just get a disease where your body eats itself (including organs like the brain)! Super easy, barely an inconvenience. Fucking sucks if I’m honest. I’m comically skinny and vomit multiple times a day, not intentionally.I think OP has a decent idea, nothing wrong with saving weight in a car if you can.
>>29018407>unless you're overheating the battery severely.Dude what could go wrong?>Lithium battery + exorbitant amount of heat Imagine torching your DD because you wanted to trim the weight of a grocery bag for your commute to work.One less idiot on the road I guess....
There are and for a good reason lithium batteries for cars so if you think about changing your battery for weight just get a model for cars save some weight and be happy about it.
>>29012071someone made this lmbo
>>29011947GR corolla is probably more fun and really is a special car, but at it's price point it doesn't even compare to its competitors like a Type R or Golf R; I would say it barely competes with a VA STI. It is a tier below in almost all other categories, but what killed it for me was how shit of a daily it is.
>>29011525I really want the FL5 Type R, but having seen other people's cars in person around town, I can confidently say the Championship White is the best choice. The blue and grey variants look really lame in real life.
>>29018983As someone who generally despises white on vehicles I unfortunately agree. It looks best with white.
>>29017002I have been fine with you going your tirades about mcdonalds and plastic engines and ricers but I draw the line at criticizing EGG
Hello /o/. Eurocuck is here. I need cheap and "reliable" car. Gimmie your recommendationP.S Not a VW Golf
>>29017162Fiat Albea
just look up car of the year and keep going back down the years until you can afford one
>>29017162No idea whether you want a tiny ass car or a sedan, so here's for city-focused small cars:Renault Clio 1.5dci (best diesel engine for tiny cars)VW Golf 5-6-7 1.9tdi (best diesel engine for small cars)Toyota Aygo/Citroen C1/Peugeot 107 1st gen 1.0 vvti (cheapest and unkillable, easy af to repair)Little fiats with twinspark or multijet if you just do basic servicing every now and thenOpel Corsa C, D or E (diesel or gasoline are both alright)
>>29017162>>29018931Shit you said no VW Golf I'm retarded, but good cause VW is the worst option when it comes to the interiors. I'd add:Mini Coopers (a+ engines and incredible design)Ford Fiestas (boring af but reliable)Alfa Romeo MiTo or Giulietta (incredible interiors for small cars)I think Lancia does some of the best interiors too but I wouldn't put my money in it
>>29017162Used or new? Budget? Size? Is this bait?
2027 Prius showing up on Toyota's website. Are we excited for this /o/?

>>29017717i do the fucking here not them. the whales can get fucked (by me)
>>29016018People could prefer the styling, all things considered. It's not an ugly car compared to some of the monstrosities that have emerged in this decade.
>>29016218i dont think you know what the word means desusenpai
Was it the baggers or that they discontinued of air cooled engines
>>29017488Tldr
Remember the 350cc two stroke racer.Nor me.There were a bunch of small motorcycles from Aermacchi that probably never got to the US.

I've purchased a Honda CX500, and been working it for about a month ish now. Only problem was the throttle lagged, which I tried to fix by cleaning pilot valve. I also took the tank off because there was bad gas in it, but it ran fine otherwise before that. Cleaned that tank, new gas, fuel line, and carb clean with the float bowl off. (Prev owner JB welded it) Went to start it up, and would only go with choke fully in. After a bit of starter fluid, it would run consistently, but due as soon as the throttle was hit. Then I stupidly messed with the mixture screws thinking that would fix it, now it won't start at all. I realize my mistakes, but I don't know what is causing all of this. I've been doing looking and a buddy of mine says it's a air leak somewhere, which I have to find by just spraying starter until it starts, ergo finding the leak. I've never posted on here, but I know there's far reach here, so hopefully I can get some help. I'm using non ethanol gas btw.
>>29017660Honda Pan European is different, that's a V4 the Pacific Coast is a Vtwin
>>29017216>the throttle laggedI haven't looked at the spec sheet but if the CX500 used CV type carburetors then lagging throttle is usually the slide diaphragm rubbers being old and hardened. Replacement is cheap and easy but a tedious job and kind of easy to scrub if you're ham fisted because the rubber is delicate when new.Now, to get your bike running again, you're going to want to rebuild the carburetor back to factory spec and for guidance on that, use a Honda factory service manual, one for a bike as old as yours should be easily found online for free.
>>29018775must have gotten them mixed up.this is where I heard about it from.https://youtu.be/UjvVF_ZGhrg?si=0mDU3uTPsVCaY_gH
>>29017216I have heard the old Honda air-tubes between the carb and the cylinder are pretty crap, they get stiff and leak. That might be your problem.
>>29017216>>29018776>you're going to want to rebuild the carburetor back to factory spec and for guidance on that, use a Honda factory service manual^THIS.Your options are:1. Save yourself months of headache, and take the carb to a pro for rebuilding2. Purchase rebuild kit and attempt it yourselfI'd be willing to bet that the Mixture screw needles, seats and gaskets, that sat for 40 years unmoved, were damaged and idle circuits became blocked as a result.I could be wrong but a rebuild is your best bet, imho.

hey /o/ so im going through a midlife crisis after a lot of consecutively bad things have happened in my life. after driving an sensible econobox for decades im looking for a car to give me a little joy in life that has aura and presence. I don’t mind if this is a project car. I want something that looks cool, that I can maybe get for a good price and that I can work on. I will still drive my econobox to work but want this to be a cool car for going out. I’m thinking an older MB a 560SL, an BMW 850CI, MB 380SL, some Porsche? Open to any type of older cool car.
There's always a bunch of these MGBs for sale. It's the boomer miata.
I have no idea what your budget is
Now THIS is kino
>>29018592Fuck yeah brother I'm going through the same.Here are my random recommendations (i'll talk mostly about benzos cause i'm not so familiar with bmws):>s klass (pre-2006)>old school e300 with unkillable om606 engine>w214 (the classic)>1st gen slkIn Europe, used, they're about 3k€ if that goes into your budget. No idea about the price in the USIf you like Audi, the 1st gen TT or the old school A4/A6 are more sober but still excellent to drive.I'd also suggest you take a look at some old Jaguars..... they aged like wine
>>29018642CorrectI’m trying to find a nice car with aura that looks high class and has that classic ssx appeal not scare the hoes or attract jdm abg types Pic related

Nice weather we’re having, post and discuss cabriolets, targas, anything which has a removable roof. Speedsters and roadsters also welcome.
>>29017073Probably has problems. I bought a 130K Z3 for 5 grand. Probably spent 2500 on it already.
Crazy Taxi kinda burned into my memory when I first thought of convertible, but IRL 4 seater convertibles are rare
>>290187044 seaters are rare? In Germany many convertibles I see are 3, 4 and 8 series BMWs, although admittedly I don’t see that many of them. Also the Porsche 911 cabrio has 4 seats if that counts
I always want to buy convertibles until I see one on the road and realize how gay and attention-seeking the drivers look like
