Just bought this car, only $500 from some nice old couple in the country, new tires and everything.
Now, it's no Caddy, but I think I would be pretty fun to pimp-out. Obviously I'm planning on getting rims, but I was also thinking of getting it raised a little bit.
The only problem is that I read that this can make the handling a little worse, and the car already doesn't corner very well already.
So, is it worth it? Would could I do to improve the handling?
(another reason I want to raise it is because I keep hitting my goddamn head when trying to enter)

Yes you can improve the handling without fucking it up.

First off, what year and model? From the pic I could've sworn it was a town car before I looked close.

for the handling I'd get a new set of struts, they've probably never been replaced and the average life for a set from the factory is about 50K

I'd love to get to a track, and there are plenty that are relatively close. Same with AutoX events. I could go. But I'm a poorfag, and can't afford to drive there, then spend all day at the track/event, and drive back. Plus, my car hasn't been exactly running it's best lately.

Hey guys, i have a 2000 chevy cavalier, and when i tried to turn it on, it wouldnt start.

The sound it makes isn't the same as a dead battery. It just thuds, not like a whining sound, just a thudding sound.

What could it be?

I bought one of those heating-element mat thingy's, it keeps my butt warm in the cold winters here. The thing is, when I need my navigation system, I need my cigarette lighter, where the heater is also plugged in. So, now I want to split the cables of the cigarette lighter, making it so that I can use both the heater and the cigarette lighter at the same time, with an possibility off adding another heater.
I think I know how to go about doing this, but I'd like the professional opinion of a proper fuel-head.

Anyone done something similar before? Tips, advice, do's and don'ts?
Thanks in advance /car/.

>> No.6208 Report Ban Global Ban

Just buy a splitter/adapter that plugs into your cigarette lighter, instead of being a fuckwit and trying to split a wire that provides constant (depending on the car) power. Doing that will most likely end in a short circuit that would render your cigarette lighter and other accessories (and maybe your car, depending on how the circuits are wired) useless. You can get a splitter at your local walmart (or equivalent), or an auto parts store for a few bucks.

shitty troll is shitty

>> No.6209 Report Ban Global Ban

>>6208

the wires behind the cigarette lighter aren't under constant power, I know its possible to split 'em, and it just looks better to do so. I'm just looking for some pro-tips.

Kind of comparable: I have 6 speakers on a radio for 4, works like a charm. Not sure if it's the same with this kind of thing though.

>> No.6216 Report Ban Global Ban

Don't plug too many things into the cigarette lighter or you'll start blowing fuses. It's probably only 10 amps. I would wire the heating pads to another circuit to distribute the load, and you could keep the navigation system plugged into the cig lighter.

So, was on the phone and going slow after an intersection. Guy behind me didnt like it and flashed me with high-beams repeatedly... nearly blinding me.
Of course I did what came natural, I slowed down to nearly a stop. Pissed him the fuck off.

Question: Even if he has license plate he cant do shit right? I mean even if he has an insane-hookup or uncle who is a cop. His word against mine and even his word doesnt show any legal driving mistakes (possibly obstruction of traffic but I could argue it was a safety thing as he blinded me...)

Probably wayy too much paranoia, dont usually get this but this one was different. The guy seemed to take his time even after I moved again and possibly wrote down my plate.

Hey guys, looking into buying a VW bus (woot!) the one im currently looking at the owner said it runs fine the only problem is getting it started takes a minute or two-- does anyone know why this is? could the starter just be bad? if so how much would it be to replace it you reckon?

Thanksgiving is coming up-- don't forget that the city dump is closed on Thanksgiving.

>> No.6179 Report Ban Global Ban

Depends what he means by "it takes a minute or two".
Does it mean, "You'll spend a minute or two trying before it actually turns over", or, "It'll turn over but you gotta let that thing idle with yo' foot on the gas for a minute or two or it jus' gonna die."

Makes all the difference.
Any old Bus/Bug like that that hasn't been done up for performance needs to be treated kindly.
I NEVER take out my Bug, even on a mild morning, without warming it up for 2 -3 minutes first.
Cold days? It'll take on the first try, but if I try going anywhere without at least 5 minutes of idling, it'll just bog out and die.

This. My bus likes a few minutes to warm up. It's good for it anyway. Wait until the choke has opened a bit.

Starters are rebuilt cheaply if you find a send to company that does them and alternators.

OP here

I kno 7K was steep but it wasn't a private seller, it was a dealership. Also, I had them put in a new stereo system, so that accounts for a bunch of it. Plus now I get free oil changes and tire rotations every 5000 miles.

I've been loving the thing so far. In the past week i've only seen ONE other one...it's good to be original
