So I bought another 240 for 300 bucks :) . Its a 1991 fastback SE, 5speed, ice cold a/c. its clean. Well I was driving it home and I notice a bumping/thud kinda sound coming from the tires. When I floored it alittle the sound got faster, and when I step on the brakes, the pedal seems to be moving with the sound. I pulled over to check if i ran over something or if i had a flat. Nothing, checked the lug nuts- all tight, check if the tire was slanted- it wasnt. Looked good so I drove off. Along the way it got alittle big louder. Im gonna take a look at it tomorrow because its raining hard now. I think it has something to do with the brakes, Im not too sure though. Any feedback would be good. Peace

deposits on the brake rotors. Get them machined or get new ones.

theres also probably alot of fucked bushings in there.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, turns out the left tire was puncherd by a big ass screw (thats right screw not nail lol).

Oh and when I did a burn out I notice the shifter wiggling pretty good, would that be because of a worn trans. mount?
