Every time I start my car I hear a loud "POP", I'm thinking the exhaust is hitting the bottom of the car, weird.
drove home yesterday brakes seemed fine the whole time coming down the hill to my house annnnnd brakes hey brakes the fuck brakes to the floor ... why are you braking as if i have a granny foot? stop like 10 feet past my driveway with the pedal burried w/o locking the wheels no idea why. ripped a skid into my driveway because i was pissed as fuck that i had not slept yet. Cant tell if need new brakes. Or if was too tired to actually push brakes to floor.
I'm tired of this. My cooling system is still being pressurized somehow with air being compressed into the system and escaping my rad. It over heated again on the way home. At this point its safe to assume my cylinder head is shaped like a banana. Now I need to get the head machined and the gasket changed. I'm broke and my parents aren't making it any easier for me. It feels like they even guilt trip me like it's my fault my car's a [B]piece of fucking shitbox[/B]
how do you mix up [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1152162[/url] with [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1160373[/url]
Don't they have nissan forums that can help out with such problems? [QUOTE=sHiBaN;36918664]I'm tired of this.

[QUOTE=edberg;36917167]hey sucks about your gf and all but you're just attention whoring at this point, go find her and do what you need to do[/QUOTE] God damn, I wanted to stir up controversy again. [img]http://puu.sh/quyX[/img]
That picture is still [i]really[/i] stupid and makes [i]no sense[/i]. Also, I'ma add you again on steam. [editline]24th July 2012[/editline] I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIND YOU ACTUALLY Add me again Or I'll bug Conker for your name
why is this still a kindergarden sandbox war in here I wish we'd have another active moderator in here
I just learned working on a car hurts. Who else comes out of the fight with scratches and chunks of skin missing? (And Lava soap does not make it fell better.)
Try straddling your engine to get at the back of your throttle body. Oh wait
That's just part of it, DP. I'm used to it by now.
snip fine :(
[QUOTE=Siminov;36918814]also didn't they buy the car for you?[/QUOTE] They got it for my 21st birthday. But they always bug me to give them rides and they don't understand the meaning of busted headgasket. Then they get mad when I tell them I can't drive the car any more or I won't have an engine left, it just doesn't register to them. I just have to work hard and earn money. I'd have to walk to work but its worth it at the end
Engine running with water (HHO engine), though it should just be strong enuf to idle. Start at 3 min. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ljhGUia9Yk&feature=player_embedded#start=0:00;end=4:45;autoreplay=false;showoptions=false[/media]
Get this so the shop they towed my scirocco to "fixed" it for a 133 euros but they cant speak english so I don't know what they did. As soon as I get it back to base it starts doing the same problem again.
That feeling when you turn on your radio and it doesn't work :( But then you hit the door and Pantera comes on AwWwwWW YeeeEeeaaah
check engine light is on the accord again, jesus fucking christ. When i plug my fucking reader in i swear to god if it is anything serious im going to literally run the car off the tappenzee
lol this is "Cars V1, V2, V3 etc." in general discussion all over again
[QUOTE=Ferosso;36926404]lol this is "Cars V1, V2, V3 etc." in general discussion all over again[/QUOTE] I wasn't involved in Cars threads before AA. But that's only because I couldn't register an account before, when I was using Yahoo. I had to switch to Gmail just to use Facepunch.
Well this is shitty, my brother is likely getting the Corolla for university. I was planning on maybe putting a new radio and air filter in there, though I'm sure as hell not doing that if I'm only able to use it on weekends if I'm lucky. On the bright side, my dad is looking at SUVs right now as a camp / utility vehicle, though he's going to have his girlfriend drive it around until he needs it. If he can't trade her 2004 Chevy sedan (I think it's a cavalier) in for a bit of a discount off the SUV, I may be getting it.
an air filter huh? dude get dual cais man you'll see like 400+ to the rear wheels brah

[/QUOTE] It's maintenance really. The other owners did not know the car very well or how to take care of it. The headgasket is busted, head is warped. Quoted a shop for resurfacing/milling it's $50-100. Engine gasket kit is $150. Head bolts, $100. Timing chain kit, $100. It will be fixed from the result of my hard work, sweat, blood and time. One of the reasons I bought a beater is to teach myself responsibility forcefully. Meaning, literally walking miles to work because of no ride and back. At the least I will have earned my money and car
Are there any other fast trucks out there like the F-150 Lightning? I just like the idea of having the speed of a supercharged V8 combined with the utility of a pickup.
New Dodge Ram R/T, Ram SS/T, Chevy 454 SS, 1972-1978 Dodge Ram Shortbox Regular Cab 440, Lil Red Express, Dodge Warlock 400/440, 454 Swapped S10 SWB, 454 C10 SWB, BBF swapped F100. Pretty much any short box regular cab truck with a V8 or Big block swapped in, long box trucks work but they are heavier.

but toyota is gay as fuck past 1995 because ugly as shit.

I just like the idea of having the speed of a supercharged V8 combined with the utility of a pickup.[/QUOTE] You could always get the best fast small truck ever made, the Syclone. It pulls faster 0-60 times than the 1992-1996 Dodge Viper, while only having a measly 4.3 V6 in it. Probably the reason it costs as much as an old second-hand Viper.
