>rear main seal leak

Check charging system light will come on, then go away after a few minutes and not come on again for a long time. Then it happens again and keeps coming and going.

How fucked am I? Or is it just a bad sensor triggering it?

I'm just going to get a new pump/radiator, do a flush before hand and check the fan relay.

I've taken the car out for a good while and drove on the highway with no issues, only when I'm idle will it overheat, and there is no signs of a gasket blown so that's good.

It's a newer Hyundai though so it's all really negligible.There's a recall on the roof, but not for my model year bause they claimed they "fixed" it.

Rear main seal leak

All will be fixed soon I hope with the manual conversion.

I rattle-canned my hood all nice and shiny. Then put wannabe circuit-racer stickers on it before the clear fully cured.

2012 Civic LX

-rear driver shock is on its way out
-AC needs some work
-a spot of rust behind the front driver wheel
-windows are covered with hard water spots, same with the body
-steelies need to be repainted so i can put on some new hubcaps
-interior has spots and scrapes all over the place. i think the previous owner had a dog

other than that it's pretty sound.

Just took it in today to get it fixed.

Also I red-lined the fuck out of it while digging my way out of a snowbank today, now waiting to see what fresh hell that brings.

My rear seal for my 2 speed Dynaflow is utter garbage and will always leak super slow forever and ever. It's been worked on twice at shops by the previous owners and it still is garbage.

I just want to replace the tranny ASAP desu and while I'm at it I'd get a new rear diff and rear disk brakes.. And front disk brakes..

Yeah..

there isn't a car in the world without a problem

Needs and alignment badly.

Evo IX

Mostly cosmetic issues.

Clearcoat on the Brembos is fucked and they need to be repainted or powdercoated.

Carbon hood needs to be refinished

Couple of small scratches here and there.

Did you burp the coolant?

I'm making it sound way worse than it is. Only things really bugging me are the timing chain and the janky ass delayed start problem.

You have HID Xenon projectors don't you?

I'm so ashamed of my god damn car, I haven't washed the exterior in the three years that I have owned it.
I clean the interior and the windows though.

It's leaking coolant somewhere. I don't know where because there's no exhaust smoke, the oil hasn't turned to dairy, no misfires, and no visible leaks or drips whatsoever even after multiple days with cardboard underneath. So now I just refill it whenever. Fuck it.

Also the outside temperature sensor is fucked and always reads at least 100 degrees F outside even when it's below zero so the automatic temperature control never works.

Just take it to an exhaust shop and have them weld a generic flex pipe in. Should be pretty cheap, I had a resonator cut out and replaced for less than $100.

Yep, HID dual-xenons they follow the road too, so its kinda neat. They also have these little side lights that turn on when you turn the wheel to a certain angle.

Crown vics got it's intake manifold needing replacement, same with the tie rods on it.
Good thing I had my tires all replaced.
Just need to get my alignment done.

Left CV joint is starting to click and the car likes to stall for no reason while I'm slowing down.

I have a crack in my right headlight and it would almost be cheaper to just pay my insurance deductible to get it replaced at a bodyshop.

Shit sux having all this expensive technology.

I hear laser headlights are what's next after HID.

can it be the carb?
alternator?
fuel pump?
dizzy cap?

The dealer fucked up on the paperwork so they're probably going to buy it back, so that's nice.

Anyone else noticed a huge uptick in the amount of ""step""sister porn in the last two or so years? What's up with that?

Nothing really

Spent the weekend + monday fixing some minor issues, a few dents and whatnot. Failed my bi-yearly inspection yesterday as the parking brake on the right side wouldnt fulmy release on its own, so gotta get that reinspected and approved on Friday

>hating rain guards
that shit is fantastic when it's raining outside, crack your windows and let some fresh air in without worrying about getting wet or the windows getting fogged up

But they're UGLY

SO ARE YOU FAGGOT

If car only overheats at idle is usually due to a bad radiator fan, fan relay, or fan temp sensor. The fans must come on when there is no airflow to keep the car cool, and if they arent for some reason, it's one of those things.

My gearbox had most of a bearing come out last oil change

Let's see what I can think of.

did you bleed all the air out of the system? A lot of modern cars the radiator sits lower than the engine and heaps of air gets caught in the block.

CEL for the cat is on permanently. I replaced the o2 sensor, found out the cat was clogged then gutted it.

So it's either get pay mazda $1000 for another one, fuck that, or buy a cobb ap and turn it off, also fuck that.

No emissions testing in Florida so it doesn't matter.

...

I wish I knew what is wrong with my Yaris. It rattles only in rev range from 1000-1500. If you give it more gas in that range it rattles more. It comes from the right side where the belt ist but no one could say what it is exactly so far.

Absolutely nothing
>feels good

"Wub wub wub" sound from the back right tire area when going 45-65. No actual vibrations, just sound. Couldn't feel anything unusual on any of the tires, no cupping etc. Alignment issue? Balance issue?

That sounds like a balance issue

The fact that it's a shitheap?

Hmm thanks. I thought it only came up recently but I just realized that the wheel bearing I had replaced in the fall could've been drowning it out. I wonder how it would've come out of balance

And you're complaining about that? Fucking hell, lad. Think of it as she could be your qt gf to come home to after blasting it in your car after a hard days work in Trump's America/Nationalist Europe.

it's missing a front end

minor detail tho

Driving on two summer tires and two winter tires right now because one of the winter tires blew last week. Also it's been developing more and more rattles ever since I started working at the end of a cobblestone road one and a half years ago. Also I still have a recall to attend to, I think it's something about the electric windows.

Most recent headache; starter problem and phantom drain.

either the control arm bushings or the tie rod end bushing is dead

no garage or driveway to look at it myself and not catastrophic enough to get someone else to do it yet, just avoid highway and interstate driving and I never notice the vibrations

Also the last owner's dealer installed supposedly OEM retrofitted seat heaters are broken and I'm using a universal seat heater for the 12V plug right now.
