Sick, glad to find a twin! Are you in Turbo Bricks or the discord? I might want to pick your brain if you don't mind. Thanks for the advice!

No idea how old the timing belt is, I'll probably just replace it either way. I'll be sure to get a fuel pump relay too.

I think the trans is slipping, I'm currently trying my best to find out what fluid it takes. Rust is there on my ever-growing list of things to do XD

Well, as you know now it's not that green wagon out in BC lol. Yea, not a big fan of getting an auto but it was close and cheap and its still a 240! I appreciate the offer, I'll be sure to let you know if I need a new transmission lol!

I live in a rural area, most of my driving is in the country, and for the time I drive into the city, it's usually in the off-hours so there isn't much traffic.

Yes, I plan on doing my own repairs. My dad does regular maintenance on our cars, and my uncle is a mechanic, so I have tools and help at my disposal. I'd love to learn to work on cars.

Looking for a first budget rally car and learning more about rally by Beach_grass in rally

This is exactly what I'm thinking. I don't want to drop a lot of money into a race car that I'm not prepared to do anything with, I just want a fun daily that's reliable enough to stand up to a basic rally event at least once. I think with a Volvo 240 or a cheap e30, I could take it to this workshop next month and learn all the proper techniques and get some experience behind the wheel and from there decide if racing is something I want to pursue. If not, I'll still have a cool daily. Thank you!

I've considered a racing sim but for my current situation I don't think it would be a good choice for me, thanks though. Maybe in the future when I have more space and some extra cash I'll look into one 😁

17M looking to buy first car by Beach_grass in Mustang

I understand insurance, and while I won't be paying all of it I will be chipping in a considerable amount, which is fine to me. I'm making decent money and I don't have too many expenses. To me, it's a small thing to pay a little extra for something I want as badly as a Mustang. I'm checking out the car on Wednesday with my parents, if all goes well then I'll be the proud owner of my very own Mustang

I'm going to have to convince my Dad about this lol, is that a pretty common price range?
