http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/craigmore/cars-vans-utes/2006-xr6-bf-8-700-ono/1098628721Is this a fair price?
>>14602217Found this as wellhttp://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/aldinga-beach/cars-vans-utes/2006-ford-falcon-ute/1102742714>tfw this is road legalSucks after hearing the issues people have to get stuff like suspension and brakes through inspections
>>14602217>good to learn manual drivingall i heard was clutch needs attention, but looks alright, like he said, its very rare to find a manual>>14602227if its what you want, its just very very bogan and would handle like shit
>>14602264Yeah, manual is a plus. Second post was more bitching about how stuff like that is allowed but coilovers or upgrading brakes require an engineers cert.
>>14602217>>14602227Out of the two the sedan is better priced, a little high mileage for what they're asking but not entirely unreasonable. Manual too. The ute looks like something out of the last Mad Max movie. Retardedly priced, though. It'd cost you less to do the sedan up like that.

>>14602279Learn something every day. I've been riding for a few months now and haven't come close to redlining or WoT. Mainly because going 60mph is still fucking scary.
>>14602268As long as you're warmed up first then this >>14602279 basically. Just use common sense, don't go cruise along at redline or bouncing off the limiter, etc.>>14602292Top of first gear on my bike is 100mph...>>14602288Also this. Remember motorcycles do have more performance oriented engines to begin with. They aren't base model Civics.
>>14602278That makes a lot of sense. I'm riding an '85 GS550. Shifting up at much lower rpm. I ride it as smooth, but it's the only bike I've ever driven so I had no idea bikes were that much different in terms of shifting.
>>14602292What do you ride, friend? Have you ever gone 60 MPH yet?Once you get up to those speeds a couple times it's quite enjoyable if you have a fairly quiet helmet and a decent bike.
>>14602292>I've been riding for a few months now>60mph is still fucking scaryI love /dbt/ it makes me feel like a superhero at riding.
Is there anything wrong with buying a Harley? I want to buy a bike and I'm just not into these crotch rockets that are so popular now. I'm not out to race or split lanes, I'd use it to run around town and do day trips. I've heard a Honda Shadow is less expensive, more durable and easier to work on but I don't know if I'm OK with buying what's basically a Japanese ripoff of a Harley.
>>14600310I guess there aren't many sport bikes with shorty/straight pipes near you. Those are every bit as loud at idle as a loud v-twin, and way more annoying.
>>14598655Go buy one OP, enjoy the wonderful world of Harley ownership.
>>14598655I thought the gold wing was more comfy
>>14598655>Should I buy this bike?>I know I can get an objectively much better bike but I don't know if I can live with not having XYZ brand on the bike.>I am willing to deal with a lower quality less reliable bike just so I can have XYZ name on it.This is the trap Harley owners jump into in droves.It's hilarious to watch them do it too, and overpay by like $15,000 in the process.
>>14600981>having a more reliable and efficient cooling system, tighter tolerances, more power, and more efficiency is somehow badYou are literally a joke. You probably don't even own a motorcycle.
Changed the plugs on this bitch the other day. It was kind of a bitch but overall a lot easier than people portray. Didn't even jack the motor up.
>>14601507Do it yourself senpai.
>>14601581I have little experience.
>>14602216go on subaru forums. I'm sure most hardcore subaru guys can do a headgasket job in 1.5 hr now that they're used to itjust like riding a bike
>>14601438That's an SOHC too OP, it is beyond terrible to replace the plugs in a newer DOHC. >2005 Outback XT>Misfiring like a bitch>buy plugs>get ready for the install>look at the space I have to do the install>"what the fuck">all of about 3 inches of space between the head and the body to get a deep socket intoIt took me around 4 hours to do all of them, seeing as I was also pausing in between plugs to drink beer.Count your blessings, Subaru maintenance is not for the faint of heart.
>>14601438 (OP)Yeah, they're not bad at all. You would be a little bitch if you thought the 2.5l sohc are hard to do plugs on. They're angled up, super easy.
So how much would I be looking at /o/, is it too late to find one without paying a huge cult tax.
its too late to find one that isn't half iron oxide>rockers>door hinges (where they bolt into the chassis)>inside fender specifically welds connecting inner fender to wheel well)they're fun cars but good luck finding one. the ones that were out there got junked 5-10 years ago from either rust, spun bearings, or bad transmissions (5th gear popout). and if you're gonna pay anything close to $4-5k you might as well get a pulsar gti-r which is the better version
don't want to be a party pooper but those cars fold like literal paper.not sure if even bikes are safer.
Only example I could find was $7500 without stock rims or intake. I guessed a 2,300 pound car would be destroyed by an SUV. Taking alternatives of that Era.
>>14602180A clean Pulsar GTiR from Canada wouldn't be much more>NX2000 (same car)>Escort GT/Protege LX 90-94>MK2 GTI>1990s Hondas (pretty much better all around if you find something like a Integra)They're fun, but not that special. I had a NX2000. Throw a big rear swaybar and reasonable shocks/springs (think 350lb Front/Rear Konis/GCs) on a 90s Integra and it's there and better.
>>14602014Saw one at a meet with a transverse Ka24 swap. Pretty cool.
You thought there is a free spot? Too bad, miata thread.Old >>14557192
>>14599245my NB was above minimum slightly when the parking brake sign started staying lit, topping off the fluid made it go away
>>14601779true, but the majority of miatas you see on cl (above 100k, a bit of rust) are worth 3k generally look for the ones that have been around the longest, they're overpriced
>>14601846that's true I guess.
>had a shop change the front and main seal to finally to kill my constant oil leaks>my na6 miata idled like garbage when put back together so they redid the timing for free>said it was off a tooth>got car back today>idle smoother than it ever was>riding in grandma mode at 1-2k rpm is extremely smooth>no power until 5k rpm>no will to rev in neutral eitherideas? I'm going to check over the basics in the morning like making sure that ancient mechanical maf is properly plugged in and my spark plugs aren't dirty and such
>>14596973>>14597856His car makes 185 whp as a 99 1.8 ITB NB1. He said he didn't do a K swap BUT admits it is a much much better platform for this purpose, but didn't because it wasn't available or heard of back when he started on the all engine HP build.
> such and such 4-cylinder has no torque!torque is basically proportional to displacement so of course a smaller engine has less torque.it's like complaining that water is wet
>>14596844Then quit trying to best bigger and better cars with your peice of shit honda and usuing that as an excuse as to why youre being eatin alive.
>>14600595This fucking mad you got smoked by a civic, lol
>>14600281A good engine has alot of usable area underneath the torque and power curve. If all your power is up top in some wacky exponential power curve, your going to need a million gears to get it to pull something.
>>14596883New Cherokee i4 or v6?
>>14598482that's what rotaries are for

>>14602240Yes that was me. Problem is is that they might give me some high interest rate for it because the NADA average trade in is below $5000. I'm sure that's their policy, and I doubt I can change their minds. Damn it looked sexy though.>no hate br/o/Tryin to not hate. Just not a fan of them myself. Would get one if I had a reason.I've looked into Volvos, but I didn't see anything that was worth the price or what it was. I'll have to try again and see if I missed something. My area is kind of shitty to look for cars. They do sound like they would be up my alley. I can take a guess why they aren't around here.>i can throw all the shitYeah I know what you mean. Wouldn't really need to do that myself though.
>>14602199>$3900>this is the hugest price quote i've ever seen for a head gasket replacementIf the engine overheated it's toastIf it overheated the head(s) (boxer?) it probably warped or cracked them and if you can't replace these things yourself then yes look for a new vehicle and put yours on CL for $500>source: it's never just a headgasket
MK4 GTi VR6, good car or no? I might pick one up soon to fix some stuff on it and just use it as a simple dd. don't suggest me other cars or anything I just want to know is it a decent car or not
>>14602262>put "no hate bro" under fly racing estatei mean i don't hate you for disliking trucks. this is how we get hot hatches, killer saloons, sleeper wagons, and boy racer coupes>there's many colors in the hom/o/ rainbow>didn't see anything worth the priceso with volvos you need to go at least 10 yrs back to find a good price to vehicle value.they are extremely reliable, so with normal maintenance they shouldn't fall apart, with some exceptions.>AVOID 2001-2003 (bad tranny software)>anything with a 5 cyl whiteblock is gold>turbo whiteblock is golden god
Instant classic.

>>14596962you are an idiot and don't know anything about European trucks
>>14596919>American looks, Italian reliabilitythe worst of both worlds?
>>14602285kek, I don't really mind American looks although I'll admit Italian looks are the best in the world, up there with Germans.
What do you have? Do you like it? What do you wish you had? Single DIN with a popout screen? Double DIN touchscreen? Simple? Ayyy lmao?>inb4 $10 2ch amp
>>14580248whats a good simple head unit to replace my stock factory honda civic one that the cd player broke? i dont care about power since its all going to factory speakers, i dont need an external amp. just want a cheap drop in replacement so i can plug my ipod in for my own music. but i dont know anything about head units or brands. will $100 get what i want?
Pioneer NEX 5000 or something idkIt's a NAV system, has Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, Bluetooth, USB/AUX, CD, Micro SD.
>>14602127what's the lighting color?
Looks pretty good in my GTI. Apple car is pretty decent imo senpai
>>14602261Backlit green with black characters.
Why are there no factory looking, zero gaudy LED bullshit head units with an aux jack or bluetooth? Why do head unit manufacturers hate money?
>>14598155not just mounting this
>>14601987Is that $10?
If you're not opposed to touchscreen stereos, Pioneer has some pretty simple looking ones with Apple CarPlay/ Android Auto support.And obviously AUX/USB/Bluetooth/Micro SD connectivity
>>14602144Mine was $40, is 100w, and has USB and card inputs as well as the normal RCAs. You can probably get a bluetooth one for cheap these days as well. Hard to beat that setup for price.

>>14601609i mean it's pretty fun yeah, kind of a nice break. people with cars see us and go "oh great, it's the van guys". all we like to do is enjoy vans just like you do cars. party a bit, have some fun drinking and everything. it's all good fun, i'll have to grab photos this year. i'm rebuilding my van, it's a bare shell blank template so i can do what i want. i'm either gonna leave the paint as is or repaint it to make it my own somehow.... it's getting the side pipe treatment and a bunch of other goodies
>>14601554pedophiles kind of ruined them for everybody
There was no better American personal luxury car than the Chrysler letter cars.
>>14601435There's not one part on these that can't be bought new. Tons of these were built, so theres also a lot of nos and used parts available.
