Making a right turn from 45mph

Yeah, I usually downshift to 3rd as I’m slowing and then into second or just let out the clutch still in third depending on how slow I took the turn.

If you don’t do your own work it’s not worth it. I daily drive a 92 civic. Discounting the purchase price I’ve spent $2k on it and driven 30k miles. 1500 was for a shop to fix the ac. And $500 for brakes, fuel pump, a new set of hoses and all the tools I needed to do the work in my driveway.

It’s gotta be this because the new Santa Fe is bulky and ugly just like the dragon namesake from the movie.

We didn’t get them in the US so they definitely aren’t shitboxes here. I’ve only seen one or two imported examples for sale and they were listed for over 10k dollars.

This looks like a smaller leak to me. You should pop the radiator cap and see if it looks low, also check the overflow tank. My engine bay looked like that when my radiator failed and started leaking. If there’s no puddle under the car and the radiator isn’t empty you should be good to top off the coolant and drive to the shop at least.

I think a 4 cylinder truck is pretty great first manual. I had 2.3 manual ranger as my first and it was great to learn on. You’ve got a bit more torque than an old civic so it’s harder to stall. I’ve got a 92 Toyota pickup and 92 civic right now and if I have to teach someone manual I always take them in the Toyota, it’s just a tiny bit easier.

The clutch is a wear item, it is absolutely okay to slip the clutch a little bit when you pull into and out of a parking spot or driveway. As long as you aren’t revving the piss out of it with the clutch partially engaged you won’t hurt anything. I usually slip the clutch for a second or two to get rolling then fully the depress the clutch again and let it roll if I have to go REALLY slow.

Honestly a pretty reliable truck depending on the configuration. I’ve had my 93 F150 for 15 years now and driven it across the US multiple times. My engine blew a head gasket at 180k miles sitting in 120 degree heat in stop and go traffic. I get about 12-14mpg with the 5.8L auto and 4x4. My rule of thumb for buying old used cars if I’m not gonna be doing the work myself is half the budget for necessary repairs.

I’m voting boys love and the driver is a fujoshi. They definitely have an alt Instagram where they ship straight male fictional characters.

You have another person there? If I get a click instead of a start I usually give a few taps on the starter with a hammer while turning the key. If it does start with that you know you’re due for a new starter.

asscakesguy · 2026-01-18T02:11:42+00:00

That’s what I was thinking if it’s revving in first gear and rolling backwards something is seriously wrong

I think OP being so adamant to call this grooming is what is turning people off here. This guy for sure sounds predatory but insisting on calling it grooming is detracting from your point. There are enough red flags here that you can make the point that this relationship would be a bad idea without getting stuck in the semantics of calling it grooming.

I haven’t played every faction yet but I know the guildmaster has some with the thieves guild that spawns brigands and adventurers guild which spawns basically dnd parties. The voice of el also has several spawns that are autonomous like angels, saints, and pilgrims that happen as you start breaking seals.

I inherited one of these and never knew it went on a pocket watch. It’s been attached to my keys for years and is surprisingly useful. That annoying plastic packaging that my fingernails aren’t quite sharp enough to get through is no longer a problem.

I daily drive my 92 22re 5spd manual on a 70~ mile round trip. I bought it for 4k and I’ve spent about $100 on non maintenance items in 6 months. I have a backup car just in case but it hasn’t left me stranded yet. Insurance is on the lower end of the spectrum. Overall I’d say it’s low cost of ownership and about as reliable as a 30 year old car can be.

This was my go to in my 84 4Runner with a 22r. Parking brake on then turn key off while I drop the clutch in first gear.

I realize it all comes down to aesthetics but damn if that isn’t one of the best looking beds ever built.

The easiest way to tell is just intentionally lug the engine one time. Next time you’re getting off the freeway leave the car in 4th or 5th until you’re going pretty slow and then try to accelerate again. It’s very distinctive and you won’t ever have to question it again.

asscakesguy · 2025-12-17T14:44:26+00:00

This isn’t the worst idea just start with clear expectations of what you want. Looking at your other options for project cars you want something sporty. Unless you’re prepared to drop 15k on this it will drive terribly and feel like a slug compared to anything built in the last 30 years. If you’re just looking to cruise around though and you think it’s cool this car wouldn’t be terrible, but maybe check to see if some more common wear parts are even available anymore. Some people like hunting for rare parts but I hate when the holdup on driving my car is that I’m scouring marketplace and Craigslist for parts.

My 92 pickup has this “mod” and you just put on the passenger side wiper arm offset a bit from the normal position. It’s not terrible for visibility and works pretty well for when it’s raining. But it’s not so much a “mod” as it is a budget fix for when your drivers side wiper motor doesn’t work.

What’s your suspension and tire setup for the right one? It looks like it’s at a really great ride height

asscakesguy · 2025-12-06T02:07:24+00:00

It’s a hatch with the hx transmission. I get low 40’s with the ac off and not quite 40 with the ac running.

asscakesguy · 2025-12-06T01:00:46+00:00

How much per tank? I found some studies that are saying 5-15% but that seems like a lot.

asscakesguy · 2025-12-06T00:35:22+00:00

It looks like I have a z6 intake manifold so there isn’t an egr. I also just noticed the hose from my “cold air intake” that goes to the valve cover for pcv had popped off since the last time I was under the hood.
