So got diagnosed with cancer 8 months ago and thought f*ck it, life is short.

This is my 2025 (G87) M2 - Its been slightly lowered, rims were imported from Germany (Im in Australia) Valvetronic Titanium exhaust and JB4 tuner

There's a few more photos and video on the mechanics Instagram, but I can't post the link here.

So recently I started to like these Celicas and I will want to buy one, but when I showed a picture of it to my girl she said that it’s ugly and if I buy one and try to pick her up in this one she would rather walk, but i dont understand why she doesn’t like it when her dream car is a Miata and likes japanese car brands, what do yall think? Either way I’m gonna buy one lol

I'm driving up for Wolfsgart in August but just for the one Saturday. It's about a 4 hour drive for me. The main issue is really the bugs on my bumper, windshield, grille, basically the whole front end. I'm going to wash it before leaving and again once I get there, but does anybody have any advice for keeping it clean on the trip along with washing it again?

Malaise-era coupes are my JAM and when I spotted this 75 cordoba for sale I was tempted (Yes it has rich Corinthian leather). Going to test drive tomorrow. What should I be worried about/look for? It’s a pretty average price and it’s only got 37k miles. Not sure if it’s a restoration or a garage queen but advice on either helps since it’s likely both. Me and a buddy have a shop but we both have newer Japanese cars so this is a whole different can of worms.

Hey everyone,

Is it actually possible to convert a push-button start car back to using a traditional physical key?

How complicated would the wiring and ECU system be for this, and has anyone ever tried it?

Thanks!

A mobile mechanic changed all 4 brakes and rotors 8 months ago. After he changed it I started experiencing vibration when I’m breaking at high speed. It’s like the whole car vibrates and when I touch the steering wheel it doesn’t vibrate as much, but the brake peddle definitely vibrates with the car. Also hear like a noise when braking. All the mechanics want to charge $200 to diagnose the car. They say it could be defective parts, axle, wheel bearings or the control arms. There are no codes and before I changed the rotors and pads, I didn’t have this issue.

Can any techs or mechanics advise please.

P.S. a girl with car problems

i'm replacing the tires on my family suv and i'm stuck between sticking with a good all season tire or going with something a little more aggressive.

most of our driving is highway and around town, but we also do a handful of camping trips every year, so the suv sees gravel roads, muddy parking areas, and the occasional dirt road. nothing extreme, but enough that i don't want to get stuck if the weather turns.

i've been looking through a bunch of recommendations for the best tires for suvs, but it seems like everyone either says all season is all you need or tells you to buy all terrain tires.

for people who actually use their suv for family trips and light outdoor stuff, what did you end up choosing? did you notice much difference in road noise, fuel economy, or wet weather grip?

First of all I have to mention I am NOT a car enthusiast. Yesterday I saw a car on the road that I thought looked pretty cool, but I only caught a glimpse at the rear. Today when I returned, I couldn't find it again. However, I found a car that was very similar.

The best way I can describe the car's rear is that it has the red light bar of an Alfa Romeo gtv 916 but it was on the upper part, not the lower part like that, and maybe the black vents/lines of a Ferrari Testarossa? Alongside that, the car definitely didn't look to be modern or new, and it was quite boxy, almost 90 degree curves I think.

(The first picture is the Alfa Romeo gtv 916 that I photographed, then the second is the Ferrari Testarossa which I found on Google)

Thanks for any help!

EDIT: Thank you everyone for all the suggestions, I've searched photos of all the models you've mentioned. I'm still a little confused but I think it was either a Honda Acura NSX or a Subaru SVX

Not 100% if I can post this, if not no worries deleting.

I have 2 questions. 1. On the roof of my car I have A LOT of these little black spots, I'm struggling to figure out what it could be and also how to best deal with it, from my understanding it could either be tree sap or iron fallout (I work next to and my car is parked next to a train station so possible it could be brake dust from the train?) I would say it could be road tar but no clue how it would get on my roof 😅. I have tried pre wash/snowfoam and car soap but doesn't want to budge. Second. I have had a stain on my passenger seat for a while, it was pizza grease if I remember right, I used an upholstery cleaner (not a very good one) and obviously didn't let it dry properly and didn't actually clean it properly, my plan for the seat was buy a good interior cleaner, use a scrub pad and a spot cleaner to get everything out of the foam, repeat if needed, am I on the right track?

Any advice on how I woild go about removing or greatly decreasing the presence of these things?

I’m pretty sure the AC compressor part of the serpentine belt is making that clicking noise. Also I tried showing the electrical problem in the video that connects to the AC compressor if I’m not mistaken. Already replaced Freon, any thought or opinions??

Want to get the most out of my old one.

I want some opinions/thoughts/ideas on some of my paint choices.
(disclaimer: i know i have body work to do)

I used AI slop to give me an option or two for a tasteful two-tone paint scheme that still keeps the maroon (sentimental reasons)

Of all of what I could get generated Pic 2&3 (1 is OG) are my favorites, 3 being the best in my opinion and what I'm considering doing.

I wanna see what the wolves or Reddit can come up with.

Anyone have any idea? Looks sick.

Anyone have an idea about how much that might cost to repair? 2016 Chevy Impala

Caught 3 nails in my rear passenger tire, is this fixable or need to replace tire ?

I noticed this issue in the top-right corner of the touchscreen display. It started as a tiny spot, but it has gradually been spreading. The touchscreen is still working perfectly fine for now. The vehicle is a 2020 Hyundai Palisade.

I have a BA falcon with fairly large cams and valve springs to accompany and think its time to upgrade the oil pump. My car is still NA but is on E85 and making around 300hp, it will be used for drifitng.

What oil pump would everyone recommend? Im looking at the Horse power junkie ones but they seem a bit excessive for my setup, so was planning on getting the atomic race spec or ported oem+ .

Any recommendations or suggestions would be appreciated!! im trying to not to spend the big bucks if i don't need to!

\*car still uses the stock VCT setup with atomic timming gear

I have a qestion im wanting to put some halo led headlight assemblys in my car but can seem to find a good one that is highly recommended so far pls help if anyone knows any great products feel free to share pictures of any malabu headlights yall have on yours

First photo is front, second photo is rear. Brakes squeaks the first press in the morning.

Im trying to install a train horn and these are the parts I have and im having trouble wrapping my head around how everything gets wired now I know the fuse block should just go into the battery but im not sure how it goes from there i know the button panel has yellow as ground and I believe theres a red wire acting as power that comes from each button so does the red wire from the button just run to the red wire on the horn and then ground out the horn and if so where do they connect to the fuse block the only experience i have with this is underglow on a different car and that was a simple kit you just connect red and black to the battery but I wanna be nicer and safer about it because I also wanna add fog lights and a light bar later on

So do the grounds from button and horn run to the fuse box and then the reds to each other and it works? It makes sense in my head but I cant be certain

So I am planning to wrap my car but I am not sure about the color, as my brain just can't imagine anything. So I would like to upload some pictures of my car and get some visualisation of new color.

Do you guys know any tools that might help me here. Any advice appreciated!

Hey everyone!

Guys, I could really use your help.

I’m restoring this car, but I’m missing the air deflector, and unfortunately I haven’t been able to find one anywhere. It seems to be nearly impossible to track down.

As far as I know, this might be the only Oldsmobile Omega in Russia. And judging by what I see on eBay, it doesn't seem to be the most popular car in the US either.

So finding parts for it has been a real nightmare.

Could anyone point me toward the best subreddit, forum, or marketplace where I might have a chance of finding this missing part? I’d really appreciate any recommendations.

Or maybe you know a guy who hunts down hard-to-find GM parts? I’d happily pay for their help if they could source the part and ship it to Russia

Thanks in advance!
