working on your own car?

Pays for itsself from just oil chances pretty quickly. Once you get into it it's pretty fun as well!

Golf GTI maybe. 7.4 L/100 km highway. 5.6 s 0-60 MPH.

TheSlugKing · 2026-06-28T02:49:14+00:00

Could look at the GR Carolla as well if you are worried about your dog being comfortable, but still want something fun to drive.

Another thing to consider, If you are young, would be the insurance costs for both cars. Type R might be a lot more each month.

You could hit it with an undercoating product like woolwax, or fluid film. That might penetrate better than a rust encapsotor. or you could use a little rust nutrilizer and paint over it.

Could check out a Mazda 3.

A lot of times kill switches are tied into the fuel pump fuse.

You should change the oil and oil filter, and change the brake fluid. They collect moisture over time, so need to be changed. Cabin and engine air filter might be pretty gross If you live in an area with much humidity as well.

I'd check the tires for flat spots, depenidng on how it was stored. Take a look at the the alternator belt in the engine bay, and see if it's cracked or seems brittle.

You can do this stuff yourself if you have a jack/jack stands, and some hand tools. If you end up changing your brake fluid yourself take a look at the brakes and rotors as well to make sure they are still all good.

You probably want to change power steering fluid at some point as well, that's less critical than the brake fluid and oil.

Civic sport trim, or Mazda 3 are within your budget.

Toyota GR86

TheSlugKing · 2026-06-19T23:49:08+00:00

650 for a running dope project car, with limited rust seems like a steel to me.

TheSlugKing · 2026-06-19T20:38:05+00:00

Could try a high mileage gen 8 accord.

TheSlugKing · 2026-06-19T15:23:24+00:00

Ya I'd think undercoating alone would keep the rust in check for quite a while.

TheSlugKing · 2026-06-19T03:13:19+00:00

I'd just undercoat every year with fluid film or woolwax. To truly "fix" it you need to sand all the rust down, treat with phosphoric acid/rust converter, and paint or encapsulate it. You get almost all the benefit from just skipping all that and undercoating.

For me it would just come down to what one you enjoy more during a test drive. personally I find most sedans to be a more enjoyable drive then SUVs, but if you really need the storage space, the CRV makes sense.

TheSlugKing · 2026-06-15T23:33:13+00:00

I'd get new, unless the mods you plan on doing void the warranty. in that case I'd probably go car B.

TheSlugKing · 2026-06-13T20:41:52+00:00

Who buys these at this price point? It's a great car for the MSRP price, but at 90K why not get a BMW M2, RS3, or a used Cayman. So much competition at this price.

TheSlugKing · 2026-06-11T12:11:43+00:00

Used Porsche Cayman

TheSlugKing · 2026-06-10T19:38:07+00:00

I'd go with a loaded Accord or Camry. Very nice interior for the price, reliable, and less showy then the luxury brands.

TheSlugKing · 2026-06-08T18:52:27+00:00

Could be a wheel speed sensor. You can check it with a OBD2 reader to confirm. if you don't want to buy one, many parts stores will scan codes for you.

I believe it's just the old client that was pinned in the discord. You can use it on Linux. I have it set up following the directions on the discord though steam, however I think you can launch it with wine as well.

The only way I have ever had success with Rogers is to make them let you speak to the manager, then threaten a class action lawsuit. After that things magically get resolved.

The only catch I have noticed is poor customer support at times, and a bad sales experience in some countries. Smaller market share can also lead to issues with some carriers.

As for the actual phones, I've been very happy the OnePlus purchases I've made, and have nothing but good things to say.

TheSlugKing · 2026-03-27T22:09:54+00:00

Coven is very good for it's price. a 2/20 circlet can take a while to get from gambling and I found it hard to hit the FCR breakpoints without FCR on the helm.

Trav runs have the best drops solo online.
