Why are some “all terrain” tires not 3 peaks snowflake rated? If they are truly all terrain, they should be able to also suffice as winter tires, right?
Is it a bad idea to redline an old car? How high could I safely go?
I found another fucking scratch on my car. Its down to the primer right above the rear wheel. My car only has 27k miles and it looks like some broke nigger drives it. I don't understand how people keep their cars in such good condition.
>>29000318Recommendation says to get timing belt changed every 7 years or every 100,000kmNow I've had my car 9 years and got it done maybe after 6months of owning it.Do I really need to get it down if I've only driven it 20,000km since then?
>>29018920Idk what you're trying to say but if the question is if you have to change the timing belt solely due to time the answer is yes, even if the car was parked the entire 7 years. Rubber gets hard and brittle over time regardless of use.
Since the EPA is dead, is the 25 year old minimum law for imports still in effect?

>>29005555Checked.Nailed it.This is utter ridiculousness.People are literally sick because of these damn LEDS and the missing light spectrum.Bring back:1. Mercury vapor or Sodium vapor lighting for cities and highways2. Halogen bulbs for vehicles.
>>29017887So true!
>>29018343>Bring back:>1. Mercury vapor or Sodium vapor lighting for cities and highways>2. Halogen bulbs for vehicles.You can just mimic the light output of these instead of making everything 100k lumen eye searing bright white, and get vastly lower energy consumption and far better longevity to boot

Are there any detailers here? I have put wax on my car for over 10 years, but I want to learn how to properly polish a car; which polisher should I get?
>>29014823Polishing by hand is safest. Turtle Wax polish is fine.Since you seem new to this, some definitions:Rubbing Compound: A harsh abrasive meant to scour through rough imperfections. Polish: A fine abrasive meant to take away fine imperfections and leave a mirror-like finishWax: A coating on top that can protect the paint/clearcoat and give a shine of its own.Compound and polish act to wear away your paint/clearcoat. You don't "apply" them to the surface, you rub with them to take off the roughness and bring it down to smooth, and smooth is what gives you the reflections. You should stay away from compound due to its ability to really cut through paint. Unless you have a Ferrari there's should be enough paint/clearcoat for decades of reasonable polishing.For a finisher I use Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions ceramic. It's just spray on and wipe off, unlike waxing which takes work to buff off.
>>29014823Watch watch AMMO Clean guy on YouTube.His content is repetitive but good for a few watches.
>>29014823>which polisher should I get?As a beginner you would want a random orbit polisher, rather than a rotary polisher which is much more aggressive.>>29016888Solid advise. I agree with your post.
>>29014823Przestań się o mnie ocierać na swoim samochodzie, dziwaku!

>>29018856BMW bikes are cool, they're like Euro Honda, they have so many different and iconic models like the Flying Brick similar to the K1600 you mention but every bike I've owned has been Honda and I wrench on my own bikes so all my tools and experience is working on Hondas. Moving onto a BMW would mean learning their nomenclature, knowing their parts numbers and supplier system, and even acquiring specific tools to work on them, I'm comfortable with Honda bikes because it's what I grew up on
I have a gl1800. comfy, rides great, fast.

>>29018950You want to import a $25,000 shitbox to add whatever taxes owed on it making it probably $35k, then get a good generator and converter to custom fit a fuel tank for probably another $5000 just to drive a $40,000 hybrid? Why don't you just buy a $30,000 hybrid currently in the eurozone?
>>29018952I'm gonna wait til it's scrap value at copartAll new euro trucks are dogshit electronic nanny type shit
>>29000393God it's all so gay nowyou can either be in the US and have big powerful engines but bigger fatter obese vehicles because of CAFE or be in Europe and have nice sized vehicles but tiny little 1L bitch engines because of Euro 7or you can be a third worlder and be able to drive whatever you can get your hands on but what you can get your hands on make shitboxes in the aforementioned regions look luxuryyeah there's asia too but they are largely in the same category of cars as Europe except their options are being being replaced by electric monstrosities
>>29018954I imagine any electric vehicle you find on copart is, in most cases, gonna need a new battery if anything just in casethen you'll find that scrap truck being near MSRP prices after you factor in those repair costs

What are you boys working on and what are you waiting on? What monkey wrench has been thrown in your lovely weekend plans?For me, I just discovered I need new rear drum cylinders when doing the full brake job and lift on this old tracker. Thank God, Amazon delivers on Sunday.
>>29018750I like the little claw foot clamp thing for tie rods, and you can rent both from the Autozone free tool rental program. That reminds me. I gotta rent a spring compressor tomorrow...
>>29018052Job's done. I got the slide hammer but it didnt work so I cut the cv axle boot that fell out, cleaned off all the mily grease, put it back inside the housing, attached clamps around all the sides of it, then pulled it out. The penetrating oil might've helped but who knows desu. The new part slid in fine and getting the exhaust back on was a bitch because I was squished up underneath my car, but everything was put back into place and I finished the repair by overfilling my tranny... I'll drive it as is but if I get bubbles then I'll siphon some out. The thing runs a hell of a lot quieter now that all that sludge fell out.
found a TDI at the junk yard, took the head, wiring harness and ecu, injection pump, gonna make another standalone harness for a rabbit truck TDI swap literally cannot stop buying TDIs and putting TDIs. in things
>Turn>SlipTurn>Slip>Turn>Slip>Slip>SlipAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH
>>29018752I'm not sure how those claw foot things work desu. The tool I rented uses a crows foot wrench and a long pipe looking thing that seats it, with a socket insert on the end. You put the crows foot over the flats on the head of the inner tie rod, insert it into the long metal tube and put a breaker bar on the end. For whatever reason my drivers side tie rod is so fucking tight that the tool just slips when I apply pressure. There is another style that uses pressure to clamp it, I'm going to buy one today and try it out. People also say you can use a pipe wrench but I don't think I have the clearance for that.>>29018823That's fucking sick dude. There was a TDI swapped 5 speed ranger on Facebook marketplace near me and k wanted it so bad
I’m looking for a sporty coupe to use as a daily driver. My budget is $24k burger bucks. What would you buy?
strongly considering this guy. clear coat is in rough shape but seller says the car is rust free. i can buy it in cash which leaves me plenty of money to have it wrapped and fix up a few cosmetic issues.
>>29017884If you care about aesthetics, NC's look a lot better with their bolt on hardtop on a soft top car like the old ones. The lines are way better.

All new cars in Europe must have an advanced driver-monitoring system using cameras.https://www.thedrive.com/news/in-car-cameras-are-now-required-in-europe-us-isnt-far-behind>A slate of laws impacting new cars has just gone into effect in the European Union as of Wednesday, and it’s likely to have some opponents. The bloc is now mandating that every vehicle come equipped with an interior-facing camera as part of an “advanced driver distraction warning (ADDW) system”.
Why even bother buying new cars then?
Just wanna know what the end goal here is for people who make this laws.Do they seriously thing they'll always be in position of power and not have this shit used against them or their families at first convenient opportunity?
>>29018873Lmao you think the top 1% is beholden to these laws? 100% guarantee you there's a convenient exception coded into the law for people with enough money.
>>29018876Yeah, as long as they don't become a inconvenience. Which happens all the time in politics because they're all bloodthirsty retards.
>>29018873With UN Agenda 2030 and its digital ID, the goal is to be able to debank and deperson political dissidents, between the governments and corporations. It's neo feudalism and we will all be serfs who get exiled from the village for challenging our lords. Look up Henri St Simon, Felix Frankfurter, Sidney Webb.

who was in the wrong here?
>>29018874I’m pretty sure this post is in jest.But I’ll still counter it.It’s the rule of reciprocity, do onto others as you’d want done to yourself. You’d want others to get out of your way if you were speeding, so move over for others when they’re doing it. Be the change you want to see.
>>29018648Genuinely, seriously, unironically kill yourself. Or at least never ever argue with anyone again in your life.
>>29018353I don’t pass over double yellows like a retard, but ragers/blockers get pissed when I mog their faggot asses with my sport(s) cars. It’s funny as shit hearing some 1.5 turbo in a fucking Buick suv try to out accelerate anything competent, fucking losers buy a real car if you want to drive aggresive/fast.
>>29018880There was a small amount of facetiousness.Honestly, though, I'm going to get to my destination all the same in the slow or fast lane.Not an issue overtaking a slow driver on a single lane road with my bike, it's a lot harder in my 1.6 MX5 without a half mile to get up to 70 for an overtake lmao.I don't understand the 'gotta get there!!!11!' mentality of some drivers. The ones zipping in and out of 3-4 lanes in bumper to bumper, who usually end up falling behind because of the caterpillar effect they become victim to as someone 1000ft in front of them caused doing the same nonsense.Just sit in your goddamn lane and get from A to B, you silly sausage.
>>29018887Um. I’m that anon. I have a stock 1.8 Miata. It’s easy to pass anyone very quickly, what? Is yours automatic or something?

I love my Nissan Juke but I am a little worried about the cvt transmission. I bought fluid to flush and change it recently but I haven’t done it yet. I’m somewhere just over 130k miles. She’s been good to me for the past 2 years. I got her at 116k miles. 2012 sv awd. Share your juke experiences, stories, and opinions.
>>29018790>I saw a new Kicks the other day. Looks fineIt's actually worse in every way, it has the size footprint of the rogue but is actually smaller and it lacks the 1.6l turbo the juke has, it's basically a versa engine strapped to a rogue body, the worst combo Nissan could come up with
>>29018790I test drove a rogue before I got the juke. The rogue felt like a pig poverty car. The juke can handle its own weight. It’s not a race car by any means but it will accelerate pretty good. >>29018795I can’t disagree with you at all. I looked for a juke awd manual but only a few existed if any. Nissan fumbled hard. A couple boomers told me that the juke is a fine car as long as I take care of it. Can’t disagree with them either.
>>29018787Op replying to myself. I am aware of the downsides of this car, but I do say that I think it gets a worse rep than it should because of 1) retards who can’t maintain anything. 2) people who just assume that it handles the same as a rogue
>>29018795>The rogue is a lot more pigfat than the juke, the difference is like 600lbs lolyeah but it also has a much smaller less powerful engine too...>>29018797there's no way its smaller>The rogue felt like a pig poverty car. the last gen? the current gen looks not so bad, at least the interiorI would like a used 2006 fx45
>>29018814>much smaller less powerful engine too...The juke is smaller displacement yes it's also turdbocharged, chip tune it to nismo rs spec and it becomes decent, tune it even spicier and it's actually kind of cool, the real limit on power is the deadass cvt in the awd version. Old rogue actually had less horsepower than base juke, nismo rs has more horsepower than even the modern rogue
Last chance to buy your favorite JDM before they become unobtainium forever
>>29018703No you don't. You really don't.

>>29010511Pretty much none of the cool ones with any sort of pedigree, especially if they were seen in F&F movies, or other street racing media from the era.
Just buy a GR Yaris while they're still around, in 20 years a clean good condition unit will be worth triple digits easy and will have achieved JDM legend status.
>>29018828Yup, if i didnt already own old Nip cars i would dip into the current gen cars.
