Yeah, that's pretty normal.

Rather that than people breaking into my car to nick the radio.

[Dylan_94]

I don't know why someone would steal a stock radio, but i guess i don't know what motivates thieves.

[Dip]

I know someone that had their car broken into for an out of date Kit Kat chocolate bar.
Her next stop was to return said Kit Kat bar...

[Tukimoshi]

My car was broken into for a container of oil on the seat. They then proceeded to steal my ash-tray (It had some pennies in it) by ripping it out. They then threw my shit all over the car (But left it all) and left a full roll of toilet paper on the seat, unused but looked like they found it on the ground (It had been raining out). They also nicked my GPS but that was hidden in the glovebox.

[Dylan_94]

I think i am going to take my rc car out of the passenger floor board now

[bradley]

Alright, fuck it. I'm not even going to try and get this 510. No way I can get cash raked up quick enough.

So time to use what money I have/am getting to boost the fuck out of my egg.

Edited:

Truck sitting in the shop, 12v cummins, Holset HX35 on it. Hnnnnnnnnngh.

When I get spare cash I'm going to hunt for one at the pull-a-part, $78 if I can find one. I'll snag one if I can.

[Siminov]

Found out I had 1,000 dollar less than I thought I had, fuck college books >:(

Now I gotta borrow money from my grandpa to put in a different engine and trans.

Are you moving out?

[Milky]

Got my car booked in at OC motorsport tomorrow for a full service and a valve clearance check, then im going to Armourfend afterward to see what can be done about Stonechip-gate. I suspect it will be a take-off-the-old-protection get chip sorted then apply new protection at a "reduced price" jobby.

Yeah sunroof up windows cracked up here in midnj. It's going to be warmer tomorrow too and that's when I get my new headlights and grill so hopefully it comes early so i can put it on cause I think it's gonna rain thursday.

[4NGRY MUFF1N]

Just catched a cold. -4 to -7 here, and being outside fixing with my car wasn't such a good idea after all

[Dylan_94]

Why is this so cheap? http://www.ebay.com/itm/STAINLESS-RA...ht_4154wt_1396

I want to get a new exhaust manifold/header (i could never figure out what the difference was), but i don't want to get a piece of shit. I'm not in the position to buy it right now anyways, i'm just trying to get opinions and stuff.

I also wonder if it would make my CEL come on, because i assume it does away with the catalytic converter. It appears that it wouldn't, because it has slots for the sensors, but it doesn't really specify in the description.

Average day here is around 86. Fuck you

[Watevaman]

justin what the fuck why is your car smoking

bad habit to start dont let it continue

edit got into the 60s today rolling with the windows down hell yea

[justin1992]

Radiator problems, already got the part ordered to fix it with 2nd day air, should be here, if everything goes according to plan, on friday.

Edited:

I actually just looked and it's STILL steaming/smoking. After what, 3 hours or so since i shut it off. Oh well, i got a full like...4 quart, or whatever they are, jug of coolant so i can top it off every morning before i head off to work.

I was filling up at a gas station tonight and had just shut it off after driving 20 or so miles home, so it was smoking pretty much that bad if not worse, and some queer hipster or whatever pulls up in a red convertible mustang and is all

"BRO, YOUR CAR IS SMOKING!"

I'm like "YEAH NO SHIT"

and he just kinda drives away...I'm like, you think I'm so stupid i can't see the smoke gushing out of the same place I'm currently fucking STARING AT?

Funny because my moms mazda had a busted rad, so I was driving it down to the repair shop while it was smoking heavily.

I got some looks...

I had something like that happen to me while on the highway
THERE WAS NO WHERE TO STOP :(
(I shut the engine as soon as I saw the white smoke and coasted to the nearest bit of sideroad I could find).

Turned out to be a busted coolant hose splashing it over the exhaust manifold and causing a real mess

It's cheap because ebay header.

Also, if your catalytic converter is built into the exhaust manifold this WILL eliminate it but not your o2 sensors. It may throw a CEL because of that.

ebay headers are alright, I'd run one on my car. They're not the best but they aren't garbage either. Worth the money.

50 Degrees in February is damn hot for winter in Minnesota. If I was in Florida, I would expect 60+ All year round

I had a coolant hose bust one me once too.

And then one time, me and Jap were in the ol' gold hatchback and the thing busted the fucking radiator top tank sitting at a stoplight because of excess water system pressure. It was a loud BANG! and it dumped all the coolant in the road.

[justin1992]

Sorta like what mine is doing, only it has to do with the radiator cap. Only reason i hadn't bought it is because the small little part i need is over $60...But as you can see, it's gotten to the point where i NEED it (It just barely started doing this today like i said). Nothing harmful in the slightest (other than to my wallet), it's just spraying coolant all over my exhaust and whatnot.

[Tukimoshi]

So I'm gonna skip the Silvia-badge 240SX. The guy let me know that the reason he's selling the car is because he's in debt to the insurance companies and he's got a DUI. That coupled with the fact that he recently painted the car and had it re-carpeted leads me to believe it was previously beat to shit. Also, the Silvia badges look new so either

A: He's very unfucking lucky and JUST got in debt as he finished a lot of work on the car
B: Fucked up the car so decided to shine it up to sell
C: Drifted it to shit and then decided to shine it up to sell (Similar to above)

I got a buddy with a clean 240SX with same KM but stock and he's willing to sell for $2500 and that price is negotiable also. Much more within my price range and I can always put money into the car later.



Also, I owe you guys a big heart for trying to convince me to get a manual vehicle. I didn't listen and got an automatic truck. Then I tried driving manual.
I'm sorry I didn't listen. <3 Can you forgive me?

[usaokay]

My Camaro is going to be at the shop until next Tuesday. What a shame.

[Glitch360]

Finally filled my car with AT fluid today. Now I just gotta get a new o2 sensor, my gas mileage is going to be pretty shit if I don't
