leey

cars back than were build pretty good, I mean super-easy to fix what it is now, i never owned chevette in the past - right now we have cars with so much wiring and computers, I was thinking to buy like 1993 - Mustang GT and supercharge it....

depends, newer models: Are porsches, and audis and bmws- I was into german cars since i was 17+/-

as far muscle cars, I say Challenger or Camaro SS, 1969

I'm really not into KIA=s but i bet its a pretty nice car for daily drive.

I dont remember, few years back I used to be really into road racing/track. after i changed the car, no reason for me to be interested and pretty much put more money into the cars: now days what i do, i just change suspension / wheels / and add exhaust , tune, and minor modifications, nothing crazy... no time

we have flying cars allready - not sure why people still say, or asking when, they';r every expensive atm, and yet, concepts - I believe you can even buy one now, for 1M US dollars

there are few pads, track pads, regular pads, also remember to resurface your rotors - depends on the model of a Porsche, if they're drilled and cut, you  basically have to buy new ones, cant just slap pads on and be fine, because pads wont last long do to, bad surface on the old ones.

I dont trust any ramps at all, it is risky and the car can slide, remember safety is number one ! - just find a friend who can borrow you the lift to fix minor things .

what kind of mirrors are you talking about - carbon fiber ones?

every car has some weak points - its a matter of time - could be also do to not changing the oil frequently or short trips, it can build a sluge inside oil pan

again, what year of the S4 - older models were twin-turbo and tons of problems with them, or you talking about V8 S4?

what kind of year of a camaro? could be problem with fail coilpack or wires

blue smoke means - also could mean blown seal on the turbos.

gray smoke - coolant aka headgasket

GTR is a really nice car, would you mind to post some pic!?!

I think that every turbo-charged car burns oil a little, if its too much, check turbo seals

you may also check the cap reservoir, as it may leak from there.

hard to even answer this question, What kind of model of the porsche and year, I never had a problem with NGK sparkplugs.

I would like to do PPI (pre-purchase inspection) myself, I'm thinking to buy 996 Turbo with a low millage! can someone help me with that? what to look for and basic things to look at. I really would like to save time and money on that!

 

thanks!

I think doing your own ppi inspection can save you money - and time as well. This is what I did, also its not like mechanic will rip your engine apart and see whats inside, yes, the only plus is they do pressure test and test each cylinder. on 996 model its harder to do that. so they dont even bother doing it.

1. warm the car up (gauge shows full temp) while its warming up , touch all the switches

ask for any paperwork.

2. go for a ride (turn the radio off)  find open road: with no cars around and to be save to open the car up!

3. BOOST it - all the way to the red line, from 3rd- gear pull - if the car is fine. just cruise to the shop,  check the boost gauge. it should show 0.9 bar or 1 bar(while car was flashed)

4. put the car on the lift, inspect for any leaks, pads, check the wheels by moving up and down, left and right while the car is in the air

5. check inneer and outter boots for any tear

6. look for any body damage

common problems on 996 turbos are:  2nd gear pop, plugs/wires needs to be changed, ripped boots, and BOOST leak the most important thing is you have do do boost leak test....

any questions? you can pm me directly!

I have few cars on my list, I'm interested also in EVO's , do to AWD and Turbo spool ! easy to mod etc, which year do you guys think its the best and model, any problems with these cars, I know i should do my re-search first, but my time is running out, I need to make a choice by the end of this week and pick the car I WANT ! I cannot wait !

I dont like evo' X's maybe because of aluminum block - its weaker-  I think you should go with evo 9 beter turbo, more things improved- and newer year of the car.

Hey Deve, since I owned few cars in the past, also- 02 e46 M3! yes, you have to be very-carefull what you chose! I believe that, years 01 through 03 was common problem, later on they fixed, but still I would check the subframe, by lifting the car up and checking- both sides (rear shocks) shine the light throught and you could see hair-line cracks, plenty of horror stories about this problem, usually its also do to lowering the car a lot and putting th stress on the subframe - but i think its also poor engineering!

M3 has also few issues like Vanos failure google it up

billal thanks for the advise

really helped

regards
