Although I especially have an old 12R-engine from Toyota but rather generally the question, what to do against high fuel consumption with old 8-valves (4-cylinders) with lower camshaft and carburetor (so all classic engines) (<17l/100km). Even if officially the oldtimer approval extinguishes (in the engine room I have never seen a TÜV tester) I would not shy away from an exchange of the carburetor for e.g. an Audi 80 injection (mono-motronic) - Electronic ignition via transistor instead of ignition coil directly at the contact. - Esoteric consumption reduction by magnets - smaller main nozzle installed in the carburettor - Further suggestions - ... - ... (Please only answers from motor specialists - Thank you !)

Hello, I’m doing my driver’s license right now, and I’m going to get a car pretty much right after I get my license.(My parents need their own) Now the question: Which one? When Mazdafan first came to my mind the Xedos 9 or Xedos 6, however my heart has always been pounding for old cars, i.e. classic cars. Now to my question: So, if it becomes a vintage car, I’m looking for an affordable, reliable old car for everyday use. Car brands open. Price limit is at MAXIMAL 10,000 Euronen, as I said, that I really have that absolute MAXIMUM. I don’t have more specific ideas of the other, so post everything, whether sport flicker or family carriage. XD I would be very happy about numerous answers, tips and suggestions.

Good day, I’ve been looking for vehicles with lattice tube frames (i.e. no self-supporting bodywork) that were manufactured/approved before 1970. Here I mainly mean vehicles that have been manufactured and registered in large quantities, or are still preserved. I know that the selection here is not particularly large, therefore I turn to you now; about Google and Co. the success unfortunately remains. Many greetings, Daniel

Hi! I just got my DeLorean here in the garage since October 15th. I imported him here from Los Angeles. There have been some posts on this topic, but owners of this dream car haven’t spoken yet. I just wanted to ask if there is a fan of the “Back To The Future” movies and/or the DeLorean or even an owner surfing around in the forums somewhere!? So Long! Sam

What kind of vehicle would you recommend to a beginner? A limousine, a coupe, or a convertible? Possibly a sports car or rather a roadster? What arguments do you know that speak for this vehicle category, what arguments speak against that vehicle? Which exact vehicle would you recommend to a beginner and why? MFG Keste r

Hello together I came across your portal during a stroll through the WWW and maybe you can help me a little further. Due to a grief in the family I am now in possession of some oldtimers, or also youngtimers. Since I don’t know at all about such things and also have no ambition to become active in this area, a sale of the vehicles is in my mind. but for the time being a short description of the vehicles that it is about there would be first a Mercedes Benz 220 SB Built 1963Mercedes Benz 220 SB Mercedes Benz 220 SB Mercedes Benz SE/9 3.5 Bj. 1971Mercedes Benz SE/9 3.5 Mercedes Benz SE/9 3.5 Hanomag Henschel F 181 Bj. ??Hanomag Henschel F 181 Hanomag Henschel F 181 Hanomag Henschel F 221 S Bj. 1972Hanomag Henschel F 221 S Hanomag Henschel F 221 S possibly you can make recommendations, recommend a lover or a dealer. Or you can also celebrate a special portal in the WWW where you can bring such things to the “man”. would be grateful for any suggestion. lg son of a bitch PS: don’t let “mistkers” scare me off, I’m actually quite fond of ^^

Hello , I drive an Audi 100 c3 type 44 BJ 1987. I have the problem that my passing beam does not work and if I switch to driving beam it does not work either. But if I pull for the light horn my driving beam works. I ask for help Sincerely Philipp

Hello, I have a very special problem with my1989er 2410 Volga. After a while, when the temperature is higher, the brakes brake by themselves, the warmer the stronger. Also the pedal gets hard, I notice how the pedal path is shortened more and more. Once when stopping at noon did not get away at all. At the front the brakes become very hot, at the rear less. I have set the pedal path to the BKV manually, that has solved the brakes again. In cool condition and at fa half a year ago I replaced the front brake pads, all brake lines and the HBZ. A few days ago I renewed the BKV and re-aired it again. New brake fluid, the brakes are also top on the test bench. Because the brakes brake evenly and heat up, I close a blocked brake line or defective brake cylinders. ALB controller is the only not new part. I asked many people about it at the last car meeting, nobody had a concrete idea. Thanks for reading, having posted the same in the East-time forum, I would be happy for ideas and help

Hi I wanted to ask what requirements a car has to have in order to get an h-mark and whether everything really has to be original. I also want to know what tax advantages such an h-mark brings. I thank you already in advance.
