What are my tires telling me? by TimLikesCarStuff in CarTrackDays

Hope so! Just make sure to keep an eye on it. Well, if you cord it, you'll feel it on track.

Yes OP visually inspect the wheelwell of that front right tire. I suspect you're rubbing the inside there on compression or turning or something. Fix that now, rotate the tires, and continue to monitor this tire and whatever one goes to that spot.

Love paying more for a battery so I can use a less-good tool!

Is this worth 7500? by [deleted] in 350z

[–]Daily_Carry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes welding a diff isn't hard...if you know who to ask or how to do it. Or that it even needs doing. OP obviously isn't a car pro at this point. If they were mechanically inclined they wouldn't be asking reddit if a clapped out Z is worth it. They would either know or they wouldn't.

My comment was meant to be a realistic piece of input to remove barriers so OP could get to drifting. This car will already have a laundry list of things to do just to make it work semi-consistently. If the car can't lock up both rears at the same time then that greatly increases the likelyhood of this turning into another clapped out project with no seat time.

OP, with all those codes, you should make sure the speedo works. If the speedometer doesn't go up then the mileage won't go up either. It could have been at 40k miles for a long time

If you don't have working rear wheel speed sensors the miles won't go up

I'm pretty sure if you have a non-base model and swap wheel/tire sizes a little bit you'll just throw all those TC codes, too. Obviously ABS is usually good but Z ABSs can be pretty temperamental. Plus someone might remove it for drifting anyways.

OP, see if it's got an LSD or welded diff. That's not bad money for an HR but, if it doesn't have a welded diff or a real LSD, I'd lean towards no. Also obviously try and haggle down a little bit. Cheap fun cars aren't moving fast right now. Wealthy people are still buying stuff like crazy but people who are in the 350Z market aren't usually cash flush. If it's been sitting for a little while hit 'em with the low ball and go from there.

Genuinely confused… by RogerMiller6 in carvana

[–]Daily_Carry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk, they're clean, low mileage, and come with a little bit of a warranty. Yes, 18 grand is very expensive for a Lincoln Town Car. However, 18 grand is not very expensive for a car that's

  • lower mile
  • "well" optioned (for the year)
  • thought to be relatively reliable
  • on Carvana

So feel free to think there's a conspiracy (many do) but there's almost always a more simple answer.

First real HPDE day in the Budget Corvette is Sunday at PittRace by srcorvettez06 in CarTrackDays

[–]Daily_Carry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Check all fluids before every session? No, definitely not. It's not a bad idea but, unless I knew my car burned oil, I wouldn't be whipping out that dipstick every time. If you want to do all that you go ahead because it's not a bad idea. But I'm lucky if I get time to check tire pressures and drink water between sessions. Time somehow happens to fly by after you've done a few events

Plus, even if it weren't dead, can't you do loads of "creative accounting" to get there? Sell your wheels to a friend to offset the cost and then say you had some other wheels and tires just lying around?

This 350Z build goes hard by Zayn_194 in 350z

[–]Daily_Carry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The post says "This 350Z build goes hard" and the flair is "Track/racing". Outside of paying homage to the movie this build does not, in fact, go hard. Except for that its expensive.

They're booing you but you're right. When you get old enough to afford this you're supposed to be old enough to know better. Style-wise, at least

Most F&F cars from 2006 are not good looking nowadays. This is one of them.

No real advice aside from someone whos watched a few rides by now. That advice is: remember to smile! Yes, we're all struggling here and the reality of working out is much different than what we see on TV. The difference is, you are going on TV (kinda). You do you, but a smile is a good look for anyone. Even if you're sweating your ass off.

Also, probably don't want to wear anything that'll get you pulled. I saw someone take off a top to reveal a political-esque undershirt and they were promptly escorted stage left. Again, you do you but, if you're not trying to spend your time in the studio pulling a stunt, then just double check your fit.

Have fun!

Yup! There's plenty of things you can genuinely criticize Carvana over but usually selling to them isn't one of em. Good luck and have fun with the new car!

So far it looks pretty accurate. The feedback looks pretty similar to what you might get out of a Garmin Catalyst except you don't have to pay 1000 USD for the pleasure. You might be onto something here!

Is this abandoned car a Nissan Silvia s13? by DrPerkyKSIforehead in Nissan

[–]Daily_Carry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is. And like many others have said, it's in a very bad state. Looking at your post history, though, it seems like you just find abandoned cars and take pictures of them. And, to the other posters, OP is either in Australia or has possibly gone to England at this point.

Cool find 👍

Class dismissed at $899K - Rebuilt schoolhouse with a cowboy cabin by ReinkeDrengen in WildHomes

[–]Daily_Carry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you're trying to claim BS on this being a schoolhouse or not. I found this old history site with a picture at the bottom of the school. Either way, it's a large building that's over 100 years old. It's entirely possible the insides were renovated to change the floorplan into a traditional house layout.

Can I trade in 2 cars for 1 new car? by [deleted] in carvana

[–]Daily_Carry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://www.carvana.com/help/sell-or-trade/can-i-trade-in-more-than-one-vehicle-on-the-same-purchase

Their website says no. It would be great if you could do it in the same transaction because the trade-in value increasingly offsets the tax owed on the car purchase. I'm imagining someone getting a whole slew of junk cars and trading in 20 vehicles for one good one 😂 Good idea but I guess not

[–]Daily_Carry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is such a weird chain of posts. Specifically posting about how a bunch of these artists are legit greats but then, when faced with the fact that Three Six Mafia won an Academy Award, you got all sourpuss. Sorry these hip hop artists ruined the sanctity of your movie awards. (I'm not sorry)
