how does one even pay $15k in a private party transfer? the only kind of cash purchases that big i have personal experience with involved an existing working relationship, is there some kind of escrow or something people use for doing purchases like these between strangers? i'd prefer not to withdraw fifteen thousand dollars in hundred dollar bills if i can avoid it but i also wouldn't blame him for like, not wanting to take a check or a phone app transfer

it isnt going to ruin my life any more than a twenty year old midlife crisis red flag will, but i get your point. I guess the easy and obvious ways aren't obvious to me. What are they?

there's definitely a long history of major-manufacturer parts-bin sports cars that it slots real well into

what's the groupthink on killer B oil pickups and pans? how about their air/oil separators? I don't exactly plan on hurling my new sti into a tree just yet but from the sound of it these items address some known cost/benefit compromises in the car's design that can help reliability long-term. or am i just getting smoke blown up my rear end

my friend (a heterosexual woman) just referred to the wing that the first owner deleted from my sti as "douchey" so im thinking that wing delete may have been a blessing in disguise im already driving a boyracer sedan in WORDL RALLEYE BLUE with scoops and vents and poo poo, she's probably right. if i ever decide to start flipping thirtysomething straight boys though i am absolutely set Cactus Ghost fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Oct 6, 2023 |

consider just swapping out the whole axle; if the design of the knuckle didnt change since 95 then you can do it without touching any alignment bolts

i think a lot of em end up not having em because they're often a pain in the rear end to find and running without one beats not changing the oil also cheap oil change places who dont pay their techs enough for em to give a poo poo

have you tried starting it in gear with the clutch in? note: do this with the handbrake set and nothing 3-6ft in front of the car you don't mind running over

finally bit the bullet and took my 04 sti to be inspected. good news is, it's mostly normal wear and tear for a 20y 135k mi car. a couple spots where some atomized oil and coolant residue indicates some slow leaks. the pcv assembly is pretty shot, valve looks to still be working but the hoses are all dryrotted and everything around it has a sheen of dusty oil. "a little bit of crankcase pressure but totally acceptable" rear diff pinion has the same telltale coating of oil around it. both steering rack boots are torn, but that's it, the cvs are all fine. the lower ball joints could stand to be replaced. some coolant crusties under the intake manifold indicating the coolant crossover is weeping coolant under pressure. all in all, a big relief. $55 for a laundry list of things to keep an eye on. e: anyone with personal experience with any of these things, either diy or professional repair (or for that matter, just leaving em be and living with em) feel free to pipe up Cactus Ghost fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Mar 2, 2024 |
