Ahh drat dude that sucks. If the Veloster N is available in your region give that a look, I got one after my own R was totaled out a couple months ago and it's been good for me.

Any Civic Type R you can get for 35k is likely to be a basket case, proceed with caution. It's a lovely car though, and I miss it.

Always tires, it's the easiest, cheapest, and often most effective upgrade you can make to a vehicle.

Partial Octopus posted:I was bored on my lunch break last week and decided to look at Toyota's inventory site. Found a dealer in bumfuck nowhere Nebraska with a GRC. Called them and it was available for MSRP. Got super lucky and picked it up over the weekend. That rules. Congratulations!

devmd01 posted:A triple yellow 2017 ST 402A will be mine within a week. The fun part will be getting it home 400 miles after vacation having barely driven stick before. I’m sure I’ll be an expert by the end, because I’ll have to be! Best way to learn the clutch on a car that's new to you is to find a parking lot and get it from a stop through first and into second gear without touching the gas. Once you have that you're good to go.

devmd01 posted:I’m gonna need to do a lot of hill start practice, did the dreaded stall with cars behind me today. If you're ever unsure what to do in a manual the answer is always "more gas" unless you're pointed directly at an obstacle. You may make a lot of noise and put a tiny bit of extra wear on the clutch but you'll never stall the car.

Also a good one if you have a lever handbrake. Not recommend if it's a pedal or electrically controlled parking brake.

Warbird posted:My spouse backed into someone while parallel parking my GTI this morning. No one was hurt thankfully and the other fellow’s car is largely undamaged (got in touch, he said it wasn’t a problem) but I have a fun little dent and paint damage right above my left rear wheel. Naturally this is the panel that’s one large piece and wraps up over the car. Doubly nice is that it’s on a fold so they likely can’t just pop it out. This is going to goddamn suck isn’t it? Might still be worth going to a PDR shop to see what they can do. Some fuckface in an Expedition slammed their door into the side of my RSX right on the apex of the crease over the rear wheel and the PDR shop I went to mostly fixed it. If I got a light on it at the right angle I could see a little ripple because I knew where to look but it was fine from 10 feet away and most importantly didn't piss me off every time I looked at it when walking back to the car.

DoesNotCompute posted:When I picked up the A35 the former owner's Mercedes me account was still logged in so I took note of his name. Noticed he had posted on some A35 facebook groups so I at least know that my car got a brand new head at 25k km. From what I've read they had revised part numbers for the replacements and no reports of failures with the new ones so that's one thing to stress less about inevitably leaving me stranded. I am glad to hear that you received fresh head from your car's previous owner.

Imperador do Brasil posted:$20 is more than $0 though Impeccable logic. Deviant posted:Hmm. Looks like I just need a compressor, a hook, and my standard wrenches/sockets? Just wondering if it'll be a pain with the car just on a jack stand vs a full lift, and how many hours it'll take me vs someone more practiced. First time will be a poo poo show that takes twice as long as it "should" and all subsequent times will be much faster.

trilobite terror posted:Polly doesn’t know how to drive stick yet. She needs a car that she can learn on and mistreat the clutch on for a bit, so in all seriousness a $40-60k sports car probably ain’t it. Fair, though I will note that Honda's rev match is really helpful in that regard. The later points about huge rear end rims on lovely roads are 100% valid though, I busted up the OEM dubs on the Civic R on the poorly maintained DC beltway and just destroyed an aftermarket 18 on a different stretch of that highway.

Pollyanna posted:It's not a hard requirement, but a beater to practice on could be a plus. Especially if it's got newbie-friendly features like Honda's rev matching thing apparently is. I don't think rev match was ever available on North American Fits but in every other respect it sounds good for you.
