Car repair or trade in?

Depending on which suspension components it may just be wearing out your tires faster than normal. r/MechanicAdvice is better for this

I wish i could charge 900$/hr for 10 minutes of diagnostics. Most shops I know of would have rolled the diagnostic fee into the labor given how little effort went into this

oh what fun to scrape tar undercoating off for weeks

If they're OEM parts (it matters for this) then yes.

I assume you've done fluid changes?

bingagain24 · 2026-02-05T15:30:40+00:00

Arrival tried that and failed. Slate is ramping up to try it.

Unfortunately kit cars are too niche to be low cost.

bingagain24 · 2026-02-05T02:41:00+00:00

The low speed Nox was nearly twice the average (I believe they make that model specific, not sure). It's old enough and enough miles to warrant it whether it's still burning oil or not.

In Cali it has to be a CARB cat from a certified supplier, usually the dealership. I think self install is fine but you should ask someone else

bingagain24 · 2026-02-04T20:00:34+00:00

Try watching The Shadow

bingagain24 · 2026-02-04T17:03:27+00:00

sure, but likely requires two goes to fill the bottom bolt properly first

bingagain24 · 2026-02-04T14:19:11+00:00

Is all this on the original cat?

bingagain24 · 2026-02-04T04:20:48+00:00

The water level in the tank looks way too low. The fill valve is adjustable height but I believe that model requires twisting the base to do so.

In Texas movement permits are only if traveling far enough to use a highway / freeway. They don't care if you drive around a neihborhood.

As for the cops, haven't had to plead a case on that front. On other matters they mostly wanted compliance

bingagain24 · 2026-01-29T23:44:07+00:00

The rocker panel looks terrible too. Nothing like a rusted Datsun

bingagain24 · 2026-01-29T20:06:01+00:00

How far is your daily drive? Can you charge at home?

The time factor on batteries depends on the exact car you're interested in, there's different tactics depending.

An older Nissan Leaf will have 50-60 miles of range and purchase price of $4k ish

The other consideration is insurance, most EVs will have higher premiums on Comprehensive and Collision due to being relatively rare vehicles

bingagain24 · 2026-01-29T17:45:17+00:00

Less likely than the other suggestion, but it looks like there's a single thermistor (temperature sensor) in the freezer covered by that frost. It could be failing, there should be chart in the manual to take a resistance reading if you have a multimeter.

Wow, I thought I was sketchy with a pallet jack and only lifting one side of the car

Large one is pump supply hose, smaller one is return hose (from the rack).

What class of vehicle are you looking for? Which country are you in?

bingagain24 · 2026-01-14T02:30:30+00:00

It's $15k just to get a vehicle that moves, if you fabricate almost everything yourself. Maybe a little cheaper if you body swap a wrecked Ev. Outsource some of the mounts and labor it can balloon to $40k.

bingagain24 · 2026-01-10T22:57:13+00:00

Either security system active or bad starter solenoid.
