>>28208519Jesus fuckin Christ, and zhigufags are still saying their shit is better than Moskvich because it starts easily in low tempsMy car starts after a crank or two in -20C, you just have to pump some gas into the carb bc it evaporates (K126N)
>IT WILL BE FUN, they said.I'm going back to 1969 fuck this shit
I think "without ABS" is implied when that advice is given.
>>28214273This is why you take it to a grease monkey for boring electrical shit.
>>28214273I don't see the problem. If it's that big of an issue just replace the ABS module or bypass it.
Its me. The guy with the sweet gifted red 92 Camaro from my wife's dad. The one with that flat tire and low profile and all that. Well guess what? I DID make it. I hired a mobile tire guy and her figured it out for me, really nice guy.Anyways now I have a new problem. A few days ago my 2012 Hyundai Veloester started making the "time to change the brakes" noise on the back passenger side tire, and I've been using it sparingly. But I was visiting my elderly mother and moving some furniture for her, and when I left to head home I hit a small patch of ice, and the ABS triggered the light that usually shuts off almost immediately, and suddenly I realized that something was wrong. I pulled over and messed around a bit and figured out that the abs light was stuck on along with the "slippery road' light, AND that same back passenger tire was locked up. I made it back the half mile to my moms house, and I'm going back in the morning with my MAN TOOLS but I'm wondering if disconnecting the battery will be enough to reset it, or if taking the fuse out until I cam drive it to the shop? I already planned to take to the shop on tuesday for the rear brakes. Anyways, any help would be appreciated! Thanks auto anons.
Idk man not reading any of that shit. Either pick up a wrench and fix er, or pay another man for service/new car/whatever
>>28214498>the abs light was stuck on along with the "slippery road' light, AND that same back passenger tire was locked upSounds like a stuck piston. Put the car in gear and rock it back and forth to try and loosen it.
>>28215532>>28215535ABS light and slidy-car light are staying on and displayed on the dash and the rear passenger tire brake is locked on. Other tires are moving normally.>>28215544Will try that. Already unhooked the battery and waited, still the same on start up. The fuse for the abs is one of these wierd multifuses responsible for the alternator and other important stuff, this one doesn't have removable individual fuses does it?Thanks anons!
>>28215594Seized caliper.
>>28214498>until I cam drive it to the shop?100% don't car about your paypig problems.You could just fix the fucking brakes yourself, a wrenchlet could probably replace everything from the brake hoses down on all 4 corners in about 6 hours with a jack and a basic tool set.
Im like 3 years in to this and i am still struggling, i get it im a slow learner but fuck how can one immerse themselves even more in this field
>>28215624Pretty damn locked in, pulled the engine from the truck, pulled an engine from the junk yard and installed the junk yard engine all in one day
>>28215630
>>28214211This is why I wouldn’t consider doing it as a job. I’m slow as fuck at everything I do. Plus you wouldn’t get to choose what you work on.
>>28215028>Not that difficultSpring keepers are TEDIOUS, no one was talking about difficult.Also: Rope from spark plug hole? WTF kind of ESL is this?
>>28215380>there is zero skill involved in it.Not breaking, snapping, or sheering bolts is absolutely a skill.
I have a Fiat that recommends 91 octane gas. But I can’t find that anywhere in New Jersey(Burgerland) besides Wawa.Is there any other gas station thar has 91 octane in my area so I can Jew and not pay for 93 octane?
>>28213069Bro youre wrongYou are not loosing power with higher grade fuel. You just dont get any gaines when you use 93 compared to 91 when your car is rated for 91.Anyway you should never use lower grade fuel. Modern engines can still handle it most of the time but you will loose power.Low grade fuel also leaves more deposits in the engine over time.@OP just get the better fuel and dont go lower. Also dont be a jogger and start mixing fuel at the pump.
>>28212978Op here again…Holy sperg did you guys do everything but handle my question. Is there any chain of gas stations in NJ that widely carry 91 octane gas?
>>28212978I'm in upstate NY and we have Stewart's, a small convenience/gas station chain. All their stations have 91 octane free. My car needs 91 so it exclusively gets that gas, as do my small engines. I don't think they're in Jersey though, sorry OP.
>>28215798You have to go to reservations to get 93 at the pump when i lived in upstate ny.
>>28215976Sunoco stations usually have 93, no need to go see the Chugs.
The infotainment Nazi push must die. Gimmie my old single or double DIN back.All cars need to pass a glove test too. If you can't operate anything in or around the car with a thick glove on, it fails.
>>28216856>All cars need to pass a glove test toofor who, ranchers?
>>28216856Anon, nazis were the good guys
why the fuck shouldn't I?88k miles 15.5k, garaged, perfect service. Only a few hundo more than an Avalon of similar year.
ugly. slow. gay.
>>28216882way less ugly slow and gay than a camry that practically the same price point.
Which has more torque?
>>28214304>even if you have LITERALLY no knowledge of engines at all its plain to see that 2 stroke makes more power.Power and torque is not the same thing
Torque is *instantaneous*. Look which setup produces higher peak pressure? The four-stroke combustion cycle has less power, but more torque. Most people are spending 90+% of their time in ranges where torque is more important too.
>>28214309>You will never drive in the Carboniferous periodFeels bad, man.
>>28214028miracle designs like this are almost always either entirely fake, or has some crippling drawback.
>>28216272course it ismore power = more torqueyou cant disprove this.
Me: Hey auto companies, I want to sell you an idea.Auto companies: Uh, Ok.Me: Start with a truck. Any truck you have.Auto Companies: Ok.Me: Now enclose the whole top like the pop top from a Wrangler or an old Ford Bronco. Follow me?Auto companies: We think so. Ok.Me: Now here's the kicker. Lower the whole profile by 30% and make it a car. You get the best of all worlds by improving the aerodynamics for overall CAFE mpg, tires are cheaper, you can have either an old school wagon OR open truck bed car like an El Camino or Ranchero and haul either people or supplies. What do you say? Huh?Car companies: It'll never sell. It's a car.
>>28214213A guy I knew years back claimed his diesel rabbit pickup would get 68 mpg if he kept his speed down at 55 mph max. He apparently rebuilt the engine at some point with a little bit of turning... allegedly.
>>28213216imagine walking out to your car and seeing your brown 5'0" neighbor huffing and puffing spinning the wheel on his purpose-built jeep topper winch.
>>28214410Ah yes, GM making a product ahead of its time, then making a slightly better product that makes much more sense at the time only to shoot itself in both feet.
>>28213216Similarly, the Nissan EXA had a notchback or wagon rear-hatch that could be replaced in minutes. It also had a T-top.>>28214299>they changed it into a van at some point.The second generation existed as a pick up based on a Skoda or a van based on a Seat.They were entirely unrelated but both sold as VW Caddy. The third gen was just the van then.
>>28216860>Similarly, the Nissan EXA had a notchback or wagon rear-hatch that could be replaced in minutes. It also had a T-top.Huh. Yeah that's not far off what I'd hope would become more of a thing. Pick and choose between a trunk lid, hatchback, or wagon canopy. Best of all worlds.
I just had the worst nightmare ever. >DISCLAIMERPlease don’t read this if you’re faint hearted. You have been warned!>DISCLAIMERI was going for a drive in my UDM when I felt something deeply disturbing… The front wheels… they were used to propel my car forward!The torque steer was so bad I couldn’t do nothing. Thank god I woke up right away and didn’t have to endure this for too long.
But most Hondas are FWD as god intended
>>28216435>automaticthat’s grim but not nearly as bad as FWD. paddle shifters let you larp as a GT3 or F1 race driver at least
>>28216430a car that moves by its front wheels? preposterous. I guess it can only happen in a nightmare for sure
>>28216445Wait until you hear about the car that is propelled by all 4.
>>28216430>The torque steer was so bad I couldn’t do nothing.Then change your fucking engine and trans mounts.
D/o/ any of you own one?Are they worth it?
>>28216106they're amazingthey're worth it if you're diy wrenchfag or a millionaire, otherwise prepare to get anally raped by shops
Ultimate hood rich car>damn how come this $150k car costs 20 grand? Needs 50 grand in repairs? Nah I think I'll get a matte black wrap and rims instead.The clever ones rebadge their 300C snd stay away from these money pits
>>28216551Bong prices. I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.
>>28216548>they're amazingThey really are, but the $$ involved is such a fucking turnoff.
Im buying a Honda Civic
>>28216771why is operating a clutch and a stick considered more fun? sounds like a chore in the long run. changing gears with paddle shifters gives me gt3 racing vibes
>>28216774Because it makes the car more engaging to drive, I personally haven’t found it a chore even in heavy traffic.Which civic has paddle shifters?
>>28216779I’m not OP. just curious. My golf gti is dct with paddle shifters. Maybe it’s because I have ADHD and can barely focus on the traffic while driving. Having to operate a manual trans would probably get me killed lol
>>28216774Better control over the powerband.
>>28216762Now is the time to learn.
What the fuck is a brabus and why do I always see rappers buying themThe name sounds stupid as well holy shit
>>28213599For the longest time I thought it was Barabus, pronounced like Barabbas from the New Testament. I thought it was strange to name your car company after that.
>>28213599They will mod any car you want for several hundred thousand dollars. Or you could take it to a local shop and pay 10s of thousand for the same thing. Tom Cruise owns a few.
>>28213599They make the fastest Benzeshad a 230 mph S-class in the early 2000s
>>28213695mostly true, although their 900hp and 1000hp engines have more than a tune, an increased displacement from 4.0 to 4.5 litters>>28213782no it wasn't, AMG was in the 90s>>28214282first custom-built engine by AMG was the M156 in 2006, before this they offered upgrades to existing Mercedes engines.

91% rubbing alcohol and table salt with a stiff bristle brush
>>28216794Brake cleaner and a scotch bright pad and a small copper/brass brush. You're probably going to want to remove and fully disassemble the head because it makes it so much easier.
