I have one of these sitting in my yard without an engine or transmission. I suppose I should do something to it before it disintegrates due to rust.It's already been through a couple of engine swaps. So ITT we decide which engine I should swap into it next.Obviously I'm not rich so it has to be affordable. Moreover, I'm a Europoor, so an LS is out of the question due to the high prices, but an older pushrod V8 might be doable.
>>27616469I don't know what they cost in burgerland, but here they cost an arm, leg and your firstborn. I could get an LS2 cheaper.>>27616483It's 190E, originally 2.6. Was considering M104, but can't find any for sale. For some reason there are still plenty of OM606's for sale though.
>>27616489>but here they cost an arm, leg and your firstborn. I could get an LS2 cheaper.Ahhh, sorry to hear that anon.What about going with something more exotic?Are Audi or Volvo inline-5's reasonably priced there?A Big turbo I-5 with manual could be fun!
>>27616497Volvo I5s are a dime a dozen, but I'm not really fond of 5 cylinder engines.I'd prefer 4, 6 or 8 cylinders.
>>27616585Although I might add that I'd probably rather not swap a 4 cylinder either into this car.
>>27615973Only acceptable answer and likely the cheapest /fastest option as well

How do I go about diagnosing why my clutch pedal is hard? My car is old and I'm guessing it's because of the clutch cable, but I don't want to throw pieces at it.
>>27594570Nice working beast. What are your plans for it?

>>27616537of course, go play mario kart
Why won't Honda bring back the Element?
>>27614588I know that trailhead
>>27614588the actual reason was, at the time, it couldnt pass new side impact crash tests without a B pillar.
>>27615426Transmission doesn't get buckbroken by the engine. Also manual transmission option. Other than this it's a short k24 powered square minivan
>>27616467The b pillar and its consequences have been devastating to modern automotive design
I fucking love my 07 Element AWD. It's a manual so is actually fun to drive and feels more spritely and eager than it actually is. Average 22 to 23 mpg which isn't terrible. GF and I go camping in it and there's more than enough room for both of us to sleep and get frisky with the seats up. However anyone over 6 ft tall will feel cramped lying down in the back. Yea it has its quirks, I wish it was half a foot longer and a bit more robust in offroad abilities , although I've done some gnarly logging backroads just fine. So yea it's not perfect, but there's nothing else like it as far as I know. I'd be perfectly content if it was the only vehicle I had until the end of my days.
what is a car that is practical, fun to drive, and reliable?

Blackpill me on the Troller T4, why shouldn't I buy one? Seems like a Jeep without the Junk Engineering Executed Poorly by Company Has Recommended You Start Learning Engine Repair, the same people who make Dead On Day Guarantee Expires.
If you live in Brazil do it, it's a spicy option. It's a weird body on frame turbodiesel thing sharing a platform with the Brazilian Ford Ranger. Why not fuck around? They aren't even street legal in the US.
>>27613154>brazil>ford brazili honestly cant tell what woudl be worse between that and actual jeep
>>27613154Are those fucking bus side markers it has for turn signals?
>>27613154>Seems like a Jeep without the Junk Engineering Executed Poorly by Company Has Recommended You Start Learning Engine Repair, the same people who make Dead On Day Guarantee Expires.Yeah because Fix It Again Tony is so much better
>>27615090That's Fiat
Reliability aside, is it wrong to be tempted by this?
>>27615709what is the though process of having money for a new car and buying an S class if you are going to drive itget a 911, it will be fun
>>27616495Well it's an AMG, the thought process is that it's supposed to be better for driving yourself than a regular one
>>27612496If you have to ask you can't afford it. If you can afford used German repairs, you can afford new car/lease payments.>>27612505This.
>>27616526I would disagree that an AMG s class has better ride quality than a regular oneor is mercedes retarded? making their sportier car comfier?911 vs s class is a biigggg difference
>>27616564>If you have to ask you can't afford it. If you can afford used German repairs, you can afford new car/lease payments.^Wisdom. The used car lot I worked for refused to buy Mercs and when it took one in trade (at appropriately low value) that went straight to Copart on our next auction run.
Who was in the wrong here?
>>27615746You don't rate brakes based on engine HP but on expected driving speed and vehicle weight
>>27605411>I...will...return
>>27615501>It stopped being funny a long time ago, freak.lol, noany time i'm feeling down i just think of the comet boomers and it puts a smile on my face
>>27616574They're amazingly stupid by boomer standards since any kid of that generation who actually wrenched would not have done that stupid shit. It's a shame they weren't killed.
>>27616594Wrenchlets amirite?
is it a good first car?
>>27616518No, this is
Good first car, and a great daily
I would love to hoon one of these around a surburban neighborhood
>>27616518Depends, do you mean a Pur Sang?
How do you protect your car from getting broken into if you work in San Francisco? You can park your car in a garage overnight, but what do you do if you just want to stop at a grocery store, at your workplace or anywhere else where you don't have any kind of protected parking space? Obviously don't suggest leaving San Francisco, I agree that it's the best solution, but I'm already aware of it.
whenever I go to SF, i exclusively do one of two things. >park in Japan town parking garage>park in a safe neighborhood 50 miles south and take public transit into the citythe japantown garage is heavily guarded and one of the safest options in the city.if you live in SF, you should just do your shopping there, or use public transit. where I park is very overkill, you could park way out west somewhere and take a city bus over but caltrain just werks so idk. if you get a job in the city, you have to make sure your job has secure garaging, or allows you to store a bicycle securely at work
>>27615689The least you can do when raping is making sure they cum. It's common decency.
Is it true that aftermarket 2-way car security systems not popular in America? It certainly won’t save your car from robbery, but it can cause a lot of problems for the robber. Especially if you put on such a powerful siren that it will deafen him, lol
>>27616549^Confirmed intelligent and wise. Cars need not go everywhere and cities are not for driving.>>27616577Thieves are often skilled, but they also can just carjack instead. Smart auto enthusiasts don't live in cities or California where self-defense is illegal along with vehicle mods and fun of any heterosexual type.
>>27616562Huh? I'm asking why would the rapist care about victim cumming too quickly
Can you drive manual?
never have never will
>>27613767Yeah, but I blew my left knee out when I was in the service so it can be difficult. Short drives aren't too challenging, but sustained clutch work can really wear out my joints and eventually cause some serious pain. Hasn't been a problem, since all of my cars have been automatic for about a decade. I'm inheriting my dad's old F-150 which has the ZF S5-42, however, so that'll be fun. I won't swap an auto into that thing. I learned how to drive in it, so it's staying original.
Serious question, how do I recover from chugging when I let the clutch out to early?
>>27613767I not only can drive them but can and have rebuilt them and automatics too. That is not a big deal.Transmission choice is a strange hill to die on as if using one is an accomplishment or somehow demanding. Are your lives really so barren that matters? Evidently so.True enthusiasts wrench and are the complete masters of our machines, not mere operators. That gives you amazing options while slashing your cost of living, but 4chan hates challenge so it invents false ones to simulate accomplishments hence these threads.>>27616516Beware of unwise sentiment since chronic pain does not improve with age and joint wear (AKA arthritis) eventually requires joint replacement which is subsequently SEVERELY limiting. The less damage (which pain is warning you about) you do the longer you can put off crippledom which gets us all if we don't luck out and die first. Smart play even if you dislike the idea is accumulating a C6 (if you wrench they're really easy to overhaul, just avoid noob mistakes like facing snap rings the wrong direction) and shifter of your choice for example a floor shifter) before you're too damaged to do the swap and that time comes sooner than most want to imagine. C6 come in suitable bell housings and of course need no computer making them ideal for bolt-in retrofit. Of course if you have other trucks you could just sell it when the time comes but sentimental vehicles tend to be "parked with good intentions" then rot until the estate sale. You can always save the ZF parts for the next owner. Whoever gets my trucks will have a nice pile of parts and organ donor vehicles.If you didn't know about https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/index.php it's full of ancient Ford dealer and other mechanics.
>>27616567Push pedal back in and modulate throttle. Too many people let clutches out early in the mistaken belief they'll hurt them by using the friction disc for its intended porpoise.
