  1. Newer Hyundai Genesis vs older BMW 3 series

    I drive a 2007 BMW 335i. (6MT FTW!) For me, the issues that spring up here and there are outweighed by the driving experience. If you're okay with doing most of the repairs yourself, they aren't that expensive to own. Only real pain is doing the water pump, which should be a preventative item...
  2. What's New in Window Tint?

    Got Huper Optik as well, paid extra for their 92% heat rejection film. (vs the standard 57% HR) Driving a black sedan, it made a huge difference in how my car handles Texas summers. Before, I was keeping the A/C all the way cold at 75% fan. Now I can turn it down to 50% fan and 3/4 cold.
  3. The curious case of the disappearing coolant - 11/7/13 update...down again

    I might have missed it, but so far no one has talked about bleeding the cooling system and whether it's been done. Regardless of whether it's pressurized or not, a lack of coolant means air will be in the system and create hot spots in the cooling loop. It's not unlikely that part of the...
  4. Saw a couple secret cars today

    Next Lincoln MKZ, based on the rear spoiler profile and taillights. Why do manufacturers camo-up their cars before taking them out for a spin? I get the idea of not spoiling sales, but other than that...?
  5. FuzzyDunlops Toyota MR2 MK1.5 build thread.

    ...you're going to send Lavaheadache those cookies right? Seriously though. We here in AT Garage take cookies as no laughing matter. 'Grats on finding the source of your problem though, that's got to be a huge relief!
  6. PSA: If you're replacing the intermediate steering shaft on your GM product.....

    Hey I've got the clunk in my G6, is it something I need to replace ASAP or is it just annoying?
  7. Car died the other week

    I've known it would come for her one day or another, but one fatal Sunday morning as I turned on to the road home, death came for my baby's tired 7MGE. The day prior I was out and about, soaking up the sun and getting some lazy Saturday errands done. She was doing well early, but coming off...
  8. FuzzyDunlops Toyota MR2 MK1.5 build thread.

    That's good stuff right there man! One day I'll be where you're at, for now the rod knock just keeps getting worse. Today it got deeper-sounding after a short drive. -.- Keep it going!
  9. So it begins...

    Right on man, planning on getting into an LS2 swap for my MK3 Supra soon myself! I've learned a lot planning out this swap, let me know if you have questions!
  10. Son of a...! Car crashed during warranty repair!

    Sadly that post will probably be buried by all the others demanding blood sacrifices from the dealership for an accident. Also just noticed you're a fellow Michigander. Sup! And of course my $0.02: Isn't this kind of stuff which insurance pays for? Like car accidents, when your car gets...
  11. What car do you drive?

    How do you like the SE-R and what's the MPG like? That's one of the cars I'm looking at for a DD while I work on my baby: Plans in the works for an LS motor with a couple go-fast bits, debating keeping the 225-width tires and tired 4.30 LSD in at first. :twisted: Over one year of rod...
  12. Son of a...! Car crashed during warranty repair!

    I can't be the only one who realized the car basically just pissed itself.
  13. JCH13 - Turbo Miata Rehab Thread

    Giggity. ...what were we talking about?
  14. Anyone buy a Honda Accord in Charlotte lately ?

    Can't comment on the quality of local dealerships, but TrueCar is showing an average sale price for the 2013 Accord Sport Sedan MT at about $23k, with a concentration of people paying MSRP. Common things that get the price down are: Being an owner of a Honda/whatever manufacturer brand you're...
  15. Bolt on Turbo

    Model-specific enthusiast forums will do a lot for you. Boosting is possible, but you need to find out what the motor and drivetrain will take, and should consider a limited-slip differential as part of the upgrade. The basic idea is that most engines are capable of about 5psi of boost, you...
  16. Finally installed the Kooks

    Dude that's wicked sick! Favorited that video for when I'm making an exhaust for my V8 swap.
  17. 1 year old Gen Coupe Bad Back :-(

    For the sake of discussion, what about moving into a used car? Take the Genesis and sell it private party to maximize your cash, then take out a loan for the lower amount of a used car, say $15k? (Which will still get you into a lower-miles and comfortable car.)
  18. S14 VS hachi Roku

    Get the AE86 and give my friend and I some advice about building a general purpose racecar from the S13 shell he's picking up Tuesday.
  19. Time for an upgrade...

    The CTS-V and STi are not showing up for me. With the 'Vette and GTO you have a really cool thing where their motors are aluminum, and GM so happens to make an iron-block version that goes into their pickups, of which millions are on the road, driving down parts costs. They are very reliable...
  20. You know. My car is slow, sucks gas, burns oil and looks like a...

    Still have my '89 Supra. Halfway through changing the brakes right now and it's a pain in the ass, but I love her still. Hoping to get moving on a V8 swap sometime this year. Just took my friend's 2003 GT w/ 5.8L out and holy CRAP that was fun. I need a V8 in my life.
  21. lost my car to fire. suggestions for new cars around 20k please :)

    I know someone who used USAA's car buying service when they picked up a Challenger R/T. I was told that they literally called the dealer, printed out some forms from the website, and signed papers for that price, no haggling. And he paid invoice. I'll be trying it out when I go car shopping at...
  22. best site to sell car?

    Dude no way, I thought you only got her like a year ago tops? What happened?
  23. Time for an upgrade...

    How has this thread been around for two days with zero comments from exdeath? Is he in the hospital or something? z1ggy, I'd say get the Cobra and just enjoy it. There's something nice about having the comfort and fuel-mileage of a regular car, with the keys to a monster just waiting for you...
  24. May have to downsize to one car... Help me pick something cool.

    E46 generation of the 3-series is very reliable with a few caveats. -The factory water pump by design has a problem where the bearing will fail and cause you to lose all your coolant quickly. There is a $200 water pump engineered to correct the design flaw. The OEM part is $75. -The VANOS...
  25. Going from 4 vehicles to 2? Help me think through this, would ya?

    Maybe you could find a middle ground which would ease the increase on the gas bill while still fitting your needs? One thing that has always got me about vehicles is legroom. If you've got it, trips are great - even in smaller vehicles. Edmunds.com has this list of the top-10 sedans in 2012 with...
  26. Going from 4 vehicles to 2? Help me think through this, would ya?

    I don't see what motivates changing out all your cars like this honestly. One thing that few people realize is that once you've owned a car for a while, you know what's good and bad about it. Why take away the stability of four known-good cars and shrink it down to two, which could have...
  27. 2013 GT500 hmmm update: it's happening update2:it has happened

    I was about to punch ATG in the throat for turning a 2013 GT500 thread into a goddamned car-insurance thread. Thank goodness someone stepped in before it came to that. Originally the plan was to throw in a bunch of GT500 burnouts and car porn, but then I found this article, and I think it's...

  29. Black2na's Because Racecar (MS2Rebuild)

    Looks like it's time to weld in new panels for the BMW... How are we supposed to decry your white race-thing if you won't even provide run times? Afraid of us or something? ;) It probably can't even pull .90G turns...
  30. Help me diagnose this noise...

    That whirring noise sounds like a bearing, and since it's tightly correlated with your accessories, I'd check those first. Alternator, water pump, A/C, etc. Do they all spin freely?
  31. 2013 GT500 hmmm update: it's happening update2:it has happened

    What? V6 MSRP is $22.2k, after 7.25% sales tax (CA) and a $1000 destination fee that brings it to $24,809.50. Unless you're talking about the GT, which isn't the base model.
  32. Alkalinetaupehat's 1989 Supra Build Thread

    Good news everyone! The master cylinder wasn't leaking and the reservoir was just touching the low mark. Part of a $4 bottle of DOT3/4 brake fluid and we're rolling! I like these repairs. I don't know if I mentioned it in this thread, but the engine burns off coolant slowly because of a...
  33. Alkalinetaupehat's 1989 Supra Build Thread

    The L92 is almost equivalent to the LS3, but tuned for torque since it's for SUV applications (I recall 410hp/417lb-ft tq) and uses a different valvetrain/cam. I figure that by replacing the valvetrain with upgraded LS3 parts, porting the heads, and opening up the exhaust I should be around that...
  34. Alkalinetaupehat's 1989 Supra Build Thread

    You know, a $5 fix would be nice to see. I'll check the level next time before I drive.
  35. just leased a car for tge first time,did i get a good deal?

    Bad assumptions lead to inaccurate numbers. Also you need to state the mileage acquired on the car over that time. 10k miles/year is reasonable. I drive less, though it certainly could be more. The tires which one would buy for a standard car last much longer than 24k miles, more like...

    ^--New build thread.
  37. Alkalinetaupehat's 1989 Supra Build Thread

    Good to know about the GE vs. GTE blocks, thanks. I swear there was something about a slightly thicker headgasket, but oh well. Still may consider one for some kind of project in the future. There is an overdrive switch on the shift lever which could possibly cause the transmission to shift to...
  38. Alkalinetaupehat's 1989 Supra Build Thread

    Really? I thought they just used a thicker headgasket to lower the compression. Are the pistons still good for the same amount of power as the turbo ones? What did they do differently with the cylinder head?
  39. Alkalinetaupehat's 1989 Supra Build Thread

    On the chassis, it's a targa-top model so stiffening is for-sure happening. I want to be able to drive with the roof off and not feel like the car is going to twist (It rides noticeably worse with the roof off). I got a comment from jlee about making sure the bars are out of the way, and that's...
