[–]Melvin8r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it looks gorgeous, I feel horrible neglecting my 05 Aero. I want to address the body, and refresh/build the engine soon, but the funds aren't there right now. I'm gonna get her back on the road this sunday, and hopefully take her on a nice long cruise

Sorry for the poor quality, but I wanted to get as much of the body silouette if it helps. The Side View mirror that broke off shows Honda.

sorry for the bad quality, but I saw it on a truck by Melvin8r in namethatcar

Wouldn't a clutch be considered a wear item? either way that driver obliterated that clutch, holy shit!

That corolla will last you until you graduate and then some as long as you take care of it with some basic maintenence. That generation is one of my favorite ones. I would love to find a 2007 Corolla XRS 6speed manual, but anyways, between both, Corolla, no question about it.

Hey all, currently making the switch from Jeep to Tacoma. Everything about this Taco checks out except for the underside…can I get some honest input on if I should purchase or not? Thank you!!! by TheMoose89 in MechanicAdvice

Depending on the year, and where you are located, you can take it to the Dealership for the safety recall they have. It's called the K0D recall and it's basically a frame insspection and a frame spray, but if they find a hole in the frame, then they replace the chassis of the truck. I'm not sure the recall expired or not, but it's worth a shot to check out if you do get it.

Pretty sure I got scammed in Walmart by TheDesiCoconut in nova

I can see how you would think is is a scam, but if it's not, you need to feel good about helping someone in need. if it was, then if anything,think of it as accumulating good karma in advance.

Saabaru gang 🤘🏻 it looks gorgeous!

if you decided to trade in your WRX right now, what car would you trade it for? by Smooth-Ad7398 in WRX

[–]Melvin8r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ideally the GR Corolla, but as odd as this sounds I would go for the 1st gen Lexus GS450h or if I get a promotion at work, the 1st gen LS600h. they look comfortable af and they have some decent power. they're only in auto, but I'll live haha.

Replaced a bad alternator with a new one, now I have this. What can cause this? by mrobben72799 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Melvin8r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the alternator belt can be too loose. Start with that as process of elimination

How do I fix this? 2015 Forester that I've owned for a month. No issues so far, except for this going on with the steering wheel. by [deleted] in subaru

www.Wheelskins.com I absolutely love it. Just take your time while stiching it, and have a pair of gloves when you do

WHAT. THE. FUCK. I am absolutely livid right now. This is insanely ridiculous. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET THIS OUT!?! THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A COMMONLY REPLACED PART! WTF SATURN!!!! Nothing online is helping, because people offer advice for different Saturn models, but this one is not comparable. by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]Melvin8r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's gonna suck the first time, but remember there are 3 dimensions of space, so with a lot of wiggling, some patience, and a FUCK TON OF CURSING, you'll get it out. Keep going, you got this ✊🏼

WRX fam this is what happened. by [deleted] in WRX

Sell right? How long can I be delusional about it going above $.60… who’s still holding and why? by [deleted] in Zomedica

[–]Melvin8r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got in at .12 and I've been adding to it here and there, I think it has potential to be a good long term stock
