Would you buy a Hyundai pickup truck?
>>28970810Fuck off shill
>>28970810Only if it was a new compact. Maverick has basically no competition right now
>>28971182cuz its awful
>>28971182don't hyundai already make the maverick of the East?
>>28971276Yeah but it was awful.Maverick is a compact unibody pickup.Santa Cruz was a car with a bed.People want car-like truck not truck-like car.
I mean why would I pay 10k more for less cylinders, Tacomafags?
>>28971219>Less cylindersFewer.
>>28971219>timing chain driven water pump that leaks into the oil>i-it's just a easy 15 hour job to replace it!Buying either is retarded when you could just spend the same on a V8 half ton.>>28971220Those Cummins were steaming piles of shit. They were notorious for taking out their $5k+ turbos which are a cunt to replace. iirc there's also a lot of discontinued parts on that engine too.
Gay. Just buy a ram rebel like a normal person who gives a fuck about ride quality
>>28971225That water pump issue is a nothingburger and on the very off chance it did happen, the engines are like 3k. What new V8 half ton are you getting for under 40k?
>>28971234>the engines are like 3k.What?>What new V8 half ton are you getting for under 40k?There are almost 100 new crew cab, 4x4 V8 half tons available across America for under $50k which is what you're going to pay for a Frontier with a locking diff.
>doing some servicing on a cheap peugeot shitter>need to reprogram the computer to reset the servicing>need a specialist adapter costing £120 at least just to plug into the OBD2 connector>anyone who already owns it either runs a garage (not interested in borrowing) or want me to recoup half their costsHoly fuck, how have we not managed to emulate these adapters in a computer yet?
>>28971160Pretty sure you could snag a microcontroller for less than 120, not so sure about the actual obd2 plug though. I guess you could make your own or just plug wires into the pinsAll you have to do then is send anything the controller sees to the pc, and vice versa with debug channel or somethingThat being said, it's probably only worth it if you can make it work on many brands, and have model-specific patchesThe time cobbling it together isn't worth it either, unless you enjoy that kind of thing. Respect diy'ing it to prove a point though
>>28971167CHRISTYOU'RE STILL NOT EMULATING ANYTHING THERE'S NOTHING TO EMULATE YOU'RE JUST MAKING YOUR OWN PHYSICAL DEVICE
>>28971179? you emulate the original dealers responses, keys, whatever on the pcDump the bios / eeprom of the original tool or pirate it, fire up a vm of whatever microcontroller they use, and you're setof course you have to plug it in somehow tho, and that part can be made cheap is all
You need the software as well. Not just the adapter.This is pretty wild actually because not even Ford, BMW, Mercedes, the usual suspects are this bad. Most if not all Ford and BMW specific diagnostics and reprogramming can be done on the high end obd2 readers ($500 range).
>>28971191He's got the goddamm software he just needs the thing to connect the car to the computer
2 stroke 250 vs 4 stroke 450 for going slow in the woods?Which is better if you put a heavy flywheel?
Explain this guy getting insane air with a 1986 Honda xr200r.
Oh yeah, guys I have a question. So like what if I want a YZ250, but I don’t want the speed? Should I change the gearing or is there literally nothing I can do to change it?
>>28971200You know you have to shift to go faster, right? If you don't want to go fast then don't leave 3rd gear.
>>28967666nope they're all built to only go fast and stall under 10 mph or the slightest slope under half throttle
>>28971208I never really thought of this I guess. It just feels right to shift.
Last one >>28881034Looking 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/
>>28969759Got his ass
really dumb question for a really dumb person here: Bought a 24 ridgeline, need to add the front license plate bracket. Bought one, didn't come with screws or instructions. I checked around but no one seems to have any current instructions that are useful. 10mm self tapping screws in the dimples on the bumper, does that sound right? I don't want to somehow fuck it up. Thanks in advance.
>>28969698nice, thank you
>>28969759Whatever you say, chubby chaser. Maybe you can haul her around in this.
>>28971207I love suicide doors.
This bike has only 2400 miles on it but the chain looks to me like it needs tightening.
Just look in the OEM factory service manual in the chain maintence subsection and there's your answer retard. You can't check chain tension with a single frame still photo holy shit. Get the fuck off the internet you dweeb its making you stupider by the day
>>28970994This.Theres a slack measurement when its on the kickstand in the manual.
you need to set tension with the swingarm sacked so that your chain doesnt fucking get stretched by jumps
>>28970994 sorry. I thought you would be able to confirmA slack chain from a picture>>28971050 gotcha>>28971144Sacked you mean with the suspension compressed?
>>28971144mate, the chain length never changes under suspension load. it's a single fulcrum arc. it's the same distance for all 360 degrees.

>>28967171>only rich people can afford to buy themNigger you can get used evs for like 30k. Hell even new you can get shit for like 40k. Where does that make someone rich.
Any Europoors or Canada fags test drive any of the Chinese cars yet? I want to know how much better (if at all) they are over what we have in the States.
I have an EV I can't afford, but I am debtmaxxing so I can still drive it.
>>28969900Being able to lay a seat flat so I can load things in the trunk is a lot easier in an SUV than a sedan.
>>28971090Does i5 not have a liftback like i4 does? If so yeah that's a limiting factor. I only buy sedans as liftbacks now.
How much do you pay for your car every month?
>>28970645My oldest account is probably older than you, I suspect the real reason is I just don't have a diverse enough credit mix. If I want to brag online about what a cool hustler I am, I need to add an auto loan and a HELOC and that should get me up to 850 range.But really anything over 800-ish is good enough to qualify for the best rates on anything, if I were to apply for a loan where the interest is based on my credit score. I don't think there's any situation whatsoever where actually bothering to borrow money for the sake of FICOmaxxing actually makes sense.
>>28970639There's 0 reason to pay off a house early when you can be enjoying +20% in the stock market the last 4 years. I can pay off my house right now from the gains I made this year but it's so pointless. Pay long term capital gains just to lose your cheap debt?
>>28970876>call it fair isaacBingo, thanks anon.

Kia should bring back the Borrego. Make the Tau V8 standard, standard rear locker + air suspension, standard AWD, make it as long as an Escalade. Sell a fancier one as a GV90 SUV. Americans CRAVE big trucky SUVs.
>>28971021they are better than a Toyotatoyota gives you the cheapest industrial black plastic interiors humanly possible
>>28971081Meds, KIA schizo
>>28971108I had a Toyota interior today for my Uber. Interior was ghastly. Levels cheaper than Kia.

>>28970826*gives pelican a head pat*
>>28970824same, the idea of spending anywhere near that much on a vehicle that's just going to be used to drive to work/get groceries is retarded to me. any time i see an escalade or a porsche, i just think about what i would use that money for instead of a depreciating asset that has horrible QC. my offroad rig is paid off, my daily is paid off, and i can make large purchases without thinking about the financial consequences. the idea of tying that up in a 5 series or something is crazy to me.
>>28970824>>28970833$10k or less, final offer

Questions that don't deserve their own thread. No stupid questions edition. Unless you're OP.Why can't I get a Haynes manual for cars newer than 2014ish? I'm considering a new car since mine has finally exhausted the last of my patience.
>>28970929Nevermind, it's a fob range extender
Need to change out the Air Door Actuator and deciding to replace all 3 at the same time. What's with the price differences? Anyone able to tell me whats going on here? I just need the Recirculation, Mode Control and Air Mix.
Is the dealership tracking my car?
>>28971113isn't that the brain for remote start? fancy.
>>28971117I guess there's aftermarket parts on it. Weird. Thanks.

>>28970294I'd be perfectly happy with it.
>>28970250I've done a few NA/NB timing belts and never seen one with good idler/tensioner pulley bearings. They're not expensive, have one bolt each, and you have to touch the tensioner pulley bolt anyway even if you don't replace it, plus the time you'll waste with the car down if you get it apart and find they are in fact not good and have to order some. The water pump is a little more involved but it also has the possibility of having a bad bearing and/or a leak you can't see with it together. Same goes for the front crank seal and both cam seals. It's your car but I wouldn't skip any of these listed items unless I had personally done them myself on the vehicle in the last few years and they still check out.
>>28970294ask the owner for service historyit'll need refreshed brakes at least
>>28970250I'd say it's a sin, not on miat but an earlier car I owned I did exactly that and the water pump went out two months later at 150k+ miles (probably due to the new belt anyways considering the timing)
What was the last good automobile to roll off the assembly line?
1994-1996 chevy impala ss, buick roadmaster, caprice classic, and cadillac fleetwood brougham.Yeah yeah, all you pather pussies just LOVE that blue oval but I'm telling you guys you'd fucking love the B/D body platform if you got in a clean one.>I respect the panther, but appreciate the Big Body
>>28968938The GMT400's look better and rust a lot less. The 400's still have their fair share of quality control issues. The 800's are still the better realistic daily driver.
prius is the only one in the contemporary design era that turned out to be a true tank
>>28970799I mean I've owned four of them total (one currently)
>>28970780good, we need something to keep the MR2's rumored return from being $60,000. I have complete confidence those crack fiend Toyota dealers would march the "market adjustments" all the way up to Cayman numbers if not and honestly probably will anyway

People in upstate NY gas up Stewart's like it's a Bucee's but it's really just an average gas station.
>>28968163I always seen Hess as the comfiest laye night gas station for some reason. Maybe it was the color scheme.
>>28970953I've never been to a Buc-ee's but they're building one in a town 30-45 minutes away from me and I'm really curious about it because people talk about that store like it's one of the 7 wonders.
