daly: [pic related]. 1997 rav4, bent subframe but drives fine. 177xxx km. works great but… when you put it in full lock and gun the shit out of it on a rainy day, it just turns, no fun.
2001 Dodge Dakota

Needs tires, CEL is on (oxygen sensor I believe), brakes squeal, and the paint is pretty oxidized.
Got a Jaguar Xjr6 from 95. Only one thing does not work. Its the small LCD clock in the dash that does not display the whole numbers. Otherwise not a single thing broken

Add more turbo
>91 Soarer
>317,000kms
>Internal wastegates on the turbo and a full exhaust system means it spools to 17psi
>This makes it hit fuel cut (14.5psi, up to 16.5psi with a fuel cut defencer) and snarl, almost pops flames
>Because the ECU is trying to compensate, it dumps fuel whenever you back off enough to drip out of the exhaust
>It also doesn't inject extra fuel until 5-6psi meaning on partial throttle it's lean
>All these add up to 10mpg around town with $5.85/gal fuel
>Interior rattles
>Drivers seat foam is gone in places, meaning you sit on metal

Nothing else though, because I take care of my car (meaning, I bring it to the shop and be like "fix everything, no matter what it costs").
It's my shitbox. I own no shittier car. And since when does age have anything to do with shitbox status? By that metric my Grand National, 30 years old by manufacture date, is way shittier.

>trans still good
>fucking creaks and moans all over the fucking place in the front suspension
>issue with the brakes where traveling down the road at 65+ can cause the brakes to squeal LOUDLY, but it disappears if you turn the wheel or hit the brakes
I have done the brake check to remove any possible glazing, but the shit still remains, im thinking the caliper is acting up and sometimes doesn't release enough and just enough of the pad is contacting the rotor to cause the squeal
itt poorfags that wont spend a little time or money to fix mostly simple issues.
I bought an 04 focus semi shitbox. needed tires, struts, brakes, and a thermostat. big deal, now it runs like a top
