The monstrous LS3 engine is good for a Chevrolet... I’m with most jalops on this one and it’s an insta-CrackPipe to me. Because japanese cars are good with their original or equivalent asian engines, not that the LS3 is a bad one, but it just doesn’t fit in with this kind of vehicle IMO.

These electric cars nowadays look like generic NFS Most Wanted (2012) in their down sides with those metal plates.
I think it’s C(hild) P(rom) er crack pipe, for the mere fact this is a monstruosity to fix (all dem dingmabobs and electronic controls, the car is probably smarter than me) makes it a hell to pay in maintenance, and its the story, the bimmer is good when it works, but after that it breaks ...
It’s sad what a smallish amount of work (namely transfering a registration and that’s it for the record) makes people avoid buying a car that’s easier than peaches to maintain (carburetor much) and runs pretty much on kitchen oil (joking). Anyway, pay a small amount and carry on, as it is working and seens cheap to…
Well, it probably didn’t need BUT I have(had) bad driving habits, the outside temp is about 40ºC daily when it doesn’t rain, and in my last trip in a highway the car didn’t overheat anymore and did I push it (4k constantly in the highway for a small engine). The thing is the dealer did leave the coolant empty or…
Apart from oil changes and basic stuff you should really just let the mechanic work on it. Dealerships are fine so long as you do the very basic stuff and change stuff elsewhere. I had to spend about 500 bucks on my ~25000 miles car for a couple of shit like injection cleaning, coolant fillup (the fucking dealer…
Street racing is a double edged sword: The streets of were I live are absolute garbage. Potholes, speedbumps, general disrepair and 3 years without any maintenance makes it impossible to even cruise around decently without hearing all the noises the road has to offer. Unless taken to a track and the vehicle be…
Before Nissan became an ass company (quality drop) it was doing good for itself, not great, but getting along. Then came the messianic (turd) of Carlos Ghosn and the company starts going downhill, in a matter of time, it would become unhappy when it can not control it’s product creations (49% share holding makes it so…
If it was maybe some basic stuff like better oil changes or an engine cleaning mate that would’ve been better, even with the engine swap. As said, the price is VERY high for a car from 1999, still it’s a Porsche and for the right kind of buyer (and a 5spd MT for that), you could go tops down in a nice freeway trip…
“dumping money into the game now in order to secure a more competitive future is absolutely the way to go.”
neutral: if you give it some love, sure. I never took good care of a peugeot and it became faulty fast (as would any other car really), and their automatic transmissions are kind of glitchy, but over all, they’re pretty comfortable, but less reliable than good ole-german (taken care of) or asian (mostly japanese…
It’s a-ok. Remember these from the NFS 1 days and, well the dash is alike. I think that was a 89 model though. No leaks in the engine, if auto transmission would bother that much... well that’s up to the buyer. To me ? No trackdays in mind so it wouldn’t be a hassle.
I really never had any problem with my trusted gas station, in fact I more easily lose money if I carry it around than if paying in debit card. You run risks of being hacked but the practicalitty of a debit card is immensurable, being hacked is just a risk.
Here’s my crappy list:
So that’s why V4, Inline 8 and even inline 4 have more wins than wankel, because it comes and goes as regulation makes it prohibited. And here was thinking was due to reliability problems (which might aswell be).
Here’s another K5:
you got no taste. this vw beetle floral paint job is better:
Da, that’s why that squeaky noise is coming from bottom of car ??? Screech screech screech ??? Thought it was debris.
Nice pic, and here was worrying about a damaged bumper... this is golden. Lamborghini on fire is like ... Apples and oranges. One on each corner wherever available.
