200k IMO isn’t anything special with any modern car with a standard/common engine. Cars now are so we’ll engendered if you take car of really anything it should blow past 200k. The2005 S60 2.5t I had still had near perfect compression, and drove like a brand new car. Granted I personally overhauled the front…

Pro Tip, on turbo cars you should get the same MPG or arguably better with lower octane gas. As they have lower compression so can deal with the change in octane better, you just won’t make as much power. While N/A cars at most have variable vale timing at best that will reduce MPG and Power.

I’m thinking the cars suspension geometry, spring, and dampening rate will be the factors that will judge which tire performs best.

I’ve been buying eBay parts for the last 10 years, there where super iffy back then.. unsafe garbage really. But I’ve noticed in the last 5+ years you essentially get the same stuff from the auto parts store (for the most part). I’ve straight up didn’t install parts that I got years ago because they looked like the…

I had a gunmetal gray 88T Supra, I ran it at about 300hp+ at the wheel and it was an amazingly fun car with a proper suspension as the factory suspension was ruined by raising it 1/2 an inch because reviewers thought it was too rough a ride and too low. And I’ve had three, going through every bolt on the car from…

Or rather, which one is Faster relative to the average car of their era. Even more interesting.. which one is faster in comparison to other “Super” cars in their era.

1. Total suspension overhaul, and brake pad upgrade. And a proper alienment that I can guarantee you half the alienment shops won’t do it right and simply zero out the wheels without checking specs of the front or rear need toe in/out.

Pro Tip; Surge protectors work in part (only, if its a cheap one) by offloading excess voltage into heat in small part built in the power strip. This wears out over time, depending on the quality of electricity you have at home or work it can be effective for many years or maybe just a year or two.

The Tesla Model S allows to have the batteries changed quickly, that was one of there selling points. Although they did end up killing it last year :/

I would agree, i know two ass hats that bought them new and drove them like total shit... I’m talking about flooring it almost every day and going over bumps like they where Mario coins. Still working well over 100K miles.

90's Corolla i would agree, I’ve seen some 00's have problems.. but maybe just my small experience with them.

Had a friend, she spent maybe $20 in maintenance over the 4+ years she had it... she said she changed the oil once for $15 and changed a light bulb. Sold it for $300 still running strong looking like total shit :-)

I just imagine in about 10 years autonomous taxis taking over urban travel, to the point where they may only allow autonomous cars in certain parts of a city to reduce/eliminate congestion. I know that when i have to onsite for clients downtown Chicago i would be stupid to take my car from 10am-2pm, you would get…

AND!! place was PAAACKED el oh el

Never had any problems with them, I’ve literally sat back for hours as two of my friends tried to change drum brakes on a Civic. I had to step in after sundown and did that shit in 10 minutes taking my time without lights to show them how retarded they where.

That was the initial crack, about a month after it was fully cracked.

Makes me miss my metallic gunmetal gray 88 Turbo 5 speed, Springs off a 91 Supra, KYB T.E.M.S. compatible shocks, 245/45ZR16 sticky tires on stock rims, perfect tight suspension, everything worked.. climate control, moon roof, T.E.M.S. (which is Toyota Electronic Modulated Suspension), First thing i did was the head…

I got slowly in the fast lane. My first car was a 89 N/A Auto Supra, then a year later i dropped the engine into a 88 Supra with a manual trans, then two years later a 88 Turbo Supra i found in the junk yard that was about to get a junk title.. over the next year or two i slowly got it to the most it could put out…

Looks like you need a great deal of force to spin it fast enough to start it, and if you can do that.. you can most definitely push start a car.

I was waiting to see ALLDATA somewhere, not only do they tear down all the cars but also reassemble and tell you the best way to do it. Like when the dealer says they have to drop the engine for a timing belt when ALLDATA says just to remove ONE engine mount and no need for support. Best part is that there…
