Need help identifying a chassis?
>http://www.superstreetonline.com/how-to/chassis-suspension/1312-honda-chassis-code-checklist/
The issue is, I need a new transmission. It's an early Honda fit with a cvt. Approaching 200kms. Cars not worth paying someone for labour and the source of the tranny will be a "diy" parts yard. I went and checked it out, there's about 5 suitable trannies in cars in various states of disassembly. I believe it should be possible for me to get a transmission out over like a day.
The issue is, is this actually even possible for someone with near zero experience to do? Pull my own engine and transmission, swap the trans and put everything back and it somehow working?
I mean I know theoretically it's possible, but just realistically, should I even try? Keep in mind I HATE working on cars so this will be pure suffering to me, but financially if a new tranny costs me 200 or so it's worth it to keep my car running (I like my car).
I'm wondering 2 things, do salesman actually make good money? And is it possible to be one that isn't a lying jewrat?
Anyone here have experience selling shitboxes and modern appliances on wheels? Surely it can't be that bad right?

It's the Sebring
It's 1928. One fateful day, a man's wife and children die in a horrific car crash. It's terrible. The man is very wealthy, a Howard Hughes type. He is beset with grief, but above all: fear. Fear of death, to the point of irrationality. Paranoid of being mangled in a car wreck. (or dying in a fall, having a heart attack, being stabbed, &c).
The man becomes obsessed with safety. He hires an architect to build him the safest (one-story) house, a doctor to check on him every week, a chef to make him the healthiest meals, a shoemaker to make him the safest non-slip shoes.
The man asks dozens of manufacturers to make him the safest possible car, no expense spared. With almost a blank cheque, each of them does the best they can with the knowledge and ability of the time. Several put R&D into it. What kind of car does the man end up with? Any answers welcome. Long or short, speculative or otherwise

We are sticking to Hondas and Toyotas.
Would you suggest a 2013 Toyota Prius or is there anything better within those parameters?
They seem to be getting cheaper and I think they may be entering their rock-bottom price before they either stay for a bit or clean ones start appreciating. I know they aren't designed to be fast but as someone who used to own a NA Miata driving feel and handling maters more to me than speed.
I've read the 2nd gen ones have some oil starvation issues when you're really pushing them but I haven't seen the same for the 1st gen ones.
Benchracers will be ignored.
born in Canada, family was white settlers that had to flee Jamacia when the nigs began to nig during 1950-1960.
I'm poor, I only got nearly 2k dollars in my bank account, and need to get my drivers license.
I used to have 3k dollars but I spent 1k trying to get my license (600$ for 10hr of driving school, rest on test fees)
first attempt was dogshit, they gave me the worst rental with really sensitive throttle/brakes (some subaru shitbox I don't remember the name of) and I ended up getting disqualified because a pedestrian walked right into my blind corner on a intersection when I was turning and they visibly saw me fucking turning.
other attempts were at a different registry, but they're also shit, I nearly passed twice but they kept docking me for really minor shit like missing a yield sign that was hidden behind fucking bushes on a blind intersection, or going 10 over the limit downhill in a residential area because I didn't want to slow to a crawl or stop right on a hill to reduce speed even if I was "legally in the right" and some retard totalled the car.
Im genuinely thinking about going to some ruralshit registry to do my test, or just bribing the examiner 200$ cause I'm sick of this shit, I don't know how retards pass, my last test had a woman examiner who actively made me try to panic, and nearly caused me to get sidesweeped by a semi cause they freaked out over me missing a highway turnoff because they didn't notify me ahead of time.
I need my license to be able to have any chance of long term employment or a job. The only car I can "train" with is a 2 hour round trip on public transit, for maybe 2 hours of practice (practice being a retarded term because it's just me driving without guidance)
I can operate the controls of a vehicle fine but the traffic theory shit is really annoying, and I can't shoulder check over my left due to a pillar blocking my view, which if I were to look over my right the examiner would penalty me.

>At the top of the list, the survey determined that women find a man who climbs up and into a big black Ford pickup truck to be among the most sponge-worthy guys on the road. “A full-size truck implies that you can fix a leaky pipe, and regular $100 fill-ups suggest that you’re not money-obsessive,” explains the website’s editorial director. “(The) $100 fill-ups also suggest that you regularly have $100.”

Also i wont be using the jimny for off roading if i do get that, i just need a fuel efficient city car that is reliable, although its worth nothing that roads in my shithole are horrible so the jimnys increased height and softer suspension would be really nice vs the mazda which is gonna get fucked fast from countless potholes and unpaved roads
Does anyone have a vehicle with this transmission that's high milage? Is it guaranteed the torque converter will fail?
70k miles, 5 speed manual trans, supposedly clean undercarriage. 4 previous owners (kind of a red flag to me kinda not.) Sounds good for the most part. But my autism is getting hung up on the whole it hAD FoUR OWNeRs it mUST be a LeMoN!!!!
Am I just being a retarded ass hat or is 4 owners actually a lot for an '08 vehicle, and does it REALLY matter anyways?

A thread to discuss, post, create, and review anything related to automotive decals and stickers, as well as other general aesthetic modifications (wraps, license plate frames, etc).
I'd love a EK holden with a 253 swap
Doesn't matter what the car/truck starts as, its the same angel lights, the same squaring off of the wheel wells, the same needlessly exposed carbon fiber, the same cartoon dash, random quilting of leather, etc.
What happened to so many restomods being different or keeping the spirit of the original car?
Anyways. I got an 2010 ES 350 currently, literally because I'm still so used to the layout of my old. car. plus obtained Aux cord finally and tape deck, and just overall better luxury vibes.
That's all I got, I called it the Crystal Dolphin because of a small crystal dolphin i was holding after an ordeal ridden day and just decided thats is its name.

Every automaker should by law be required to place a small bomb inside the transmission tunnel of every car that is set to detonate once the driver exceeds 100mph all older cars should also retroactively have them equipped with bombs too.

Pics related is a 2014 X3 "xDrive35i" with 43k vs a 2013 RX350 with 96k miles for the same price, $15k. I'm also seeing 2016ish Rav4s with 72k miles for $17k.
Am I wrong to prefer the Toyota/Lexus with more miles? I am incredibly wary of BMW German autism repair costs. The goal is to keep the car for 5-10+ years, as long as it runs well desu.
the car runs on poop as fuel.
I liter of semi-liquid poop = 100 mile range so it's extremely efficient. It smells, and it smells in the cabin sometimes.

They know jackshit about cars, half of them don't even own a car.
I've seen that some of the early models of the 1.5 have oil issues and sometimes gasket problems, so I'm leaning towards the Sport trim with the manual tranny, does the 2.0 carry some of the same problems or it's a good engine that won't let you down?

I prefer something sporty, but the ground clearance is an issue so I might need an SUV. I was thinking about:
>Genesis GV80 3.5T
>Audi Q7 or Q8
>BMW X4M
>Mercedes GLE 450 4matic
>Volvo XC90 or V60
Thoughts on these? Do I really need 8+ inches of ground clearance if I'm not going offroad?

Almost all of this is built off the Ford Ranger sales but sometimes that's all you need. Can they extrapolate this success out further?
Probably the most reliable of the American brands and I'd back it against VW for reliability as well...
Discuss the evolution of Ford, Anti-semitism is also back by the way! The more the world changes the more it stays the same
Don't you mean merging?
The LQ9 seemed like a great option, iron block V8. Was going back and forth with the idea of building up a junkyard LQ9 but then I came across this sale that seems to be exactly what I'm looking for and would probably cost me more in the long run and won't be built.
Any reasons why this is a bad idea? 6500 for the short block, 10-12k for long block with Frankenstein heads, and around 17k for full turnkey. My goal is 800whp
Then I realised if I buy a 30 year old car everything will be falling apart and there will be about 20 different things that need fixing and it will cost twice as much to get parts if I can even find them in the first place.
I often see used car ads telling how much they have spent on the car, which is always seems to be something like twice its value. How do you justify spending that? How do you justify spending 15k to keep something you wouldn't be able to sell for more than 5k on the road?
