Buying cars from ~1990? Is buying a 30 something year old car typically a bad idea?
They're
>cheap
>[spoiler]subjectively[/spoiler] good looking
Do they have a hard time keeping highway speeds? Can they handle driving long distances well? How are they safety-wise?
What are the drawbacks/should I just stay clear of older vehicles if I want a car that can actually be used for more than just fun cruising?

So I replaced the fluid in my transmission, as well as put in some lubeguard. It still jerks/slips shifting in/out of 2nd when hot. I may have put slightly too much atf in but that's an easy fix; If draining a little bit doesn't fix anything should I just say my last goodbyes?
>just rebuild your tra-
No, the car isn't good enough for that.

I have a Euro car that's starting to burn more oil than regular. I've been running 0w-40 because I read thinner oils are better for turbo engines for all I know that could be wrong. Kinda want to switch to 5w-30. Any point changing to a thicker oil? Will burn just the same. Not ready to rebuild the engine quite yet, it's got a lot of life left in it I keep on top of the dipstick

I need to mount something to my hood and need to know the best way to do it. I was thinking of using pic related for my bolt and washer setup, with a spacer and two rubber washers. I may use a grommet too.

Why does the 2.0l FA20DIT in the VA WRX need almost a quart more oil than the 2.5l EJ25 in the STI version?

When you lease a vehicle, do you have to pay sales tax and property tax every year? Also how much do they usually want up front?

Any headunit recs? I've been looking at pioneer ap6650bt, few android ones, blaupunkt, moco, onkyo etc. All of them look like they have horrible lag. Are there any good ones? I want to use it for wireless android auto and apple car play. Rest are bonus, like DVR, tpms, etc.Also, do I pick anything from 70mai for a dashcam?

Fuel pump assembly on my Z3 is kill, got a replacement but the filter was already broken before I pulled the assembly out. Plastic hose in the assembly cracked as soon as I touched it. Do I have to drop the fuel tank for a deep cleaning or will I be okay just replacing the assembly and fuel filter module?

Is a Gen 4 Mazda 3 turbo a good sleeper?

>tires that went on an Opel Astra 1998
>Dad says he got them last year right before the car broke down and wants to sell them as they have good profile etc.
>There's no dot number on them
How do I find out how old these tires are?
They're called "Toyo proxes cf2".
Picrel is a weird symbol I can't find anything online about
