Why aren't cars this beautiful anymore?is it the lust for agressive styling from consumers that's ruining the purity of design or is it safety regulations ie pedestrian safety that's making everything look mid, or downright ugly
>>28801083We can all tell you're just salty that your Jaaaag looks like every other normal sedan on the road.
>>28802978I forget exactly what the trick was for the color change, but I appreciate that it has some level of thought to it
>>28800764>You can bypass certain regulations for limited production cars you fucking retard.damn thats funny that the mass produced ones seem fine as well
>>28800000checked. quinta of trvth
>>28800599The Tata really shows in this one
>a car made for THE FEELING>auto onlyI don't get it. It's like making a very good beer but only sell it as non alcoholic
>>28803612jokes on you the A110 gets even more fun without semi slicks. but even if you decide to run semis on track - which you should - A110 uses tiny tires that are cheap compared to to massive camaro tires. plus they will last much longer because the car is so light
>>28803618The alpine does handle like a tank. Why do you think it needs cup tires to actually compete with anything while the Camaro doesn’t. You’ll also be spending more money on the frog reliability and the parts will cost far more because it’s “””exotic”””. All things considered, you’ll spend more money on the charger.
>>28803623LOL. no point in arguing with you
>>28803621A cup tire is nearly twice the price of a 245 size summer tire the ss Camaro used, and they last half as long. The Camaro is more fun because it has a manual.
>>28803625Go look up the repair cost of a lotus emira if you don’t believe me.
Why don't you daily a CRX ?
>>28803459Thats a nice interior, all one colourEven if its not a premium car it still feels like its somewhat special
>>28802590Why would I spend $10,000 on a slow FWD shitbox that is just going to get stolen the first time I take it outside of my decent area.
>>28803461Looks like a 1991 camry interior
>>28803575The camry's is actually nicer kek
>>28803380I had my reservations while looking at pictures but irl its fine. No buttons clutter, no screen. Bit of wood, no handbrake, door cards look nice. Steering wheel could be nicer. Cup holders are hidden. Overall i like it.
HI ALL! I JUST WANTED TO INTRODUCE MYSELF AND SHARE A PHOTO THAT I TOOK
Four months ago I paid $7500 for a 2013 4-door hatchback Impreza. It's got aids or something because the oil light was on, I changed to 10w30 and it stopped. The check engine light came on, my mechanic says it's a timing code and cleared it. Didn't come back on for months. I got a flat tire, replaced all tires, check engine and dynamic traction control light come on together. I took it to a Subaru dealership and the guy noticed a rapid ticking sound. Instead of fixing anything he just added a quart of oil and told me to drive it to see if the lights would turn off on their own. And he said the motor was going to go at some point and leave me stranded okay bye have a nice day. Tomorrow I'm taking it back to tell them adding oil didn't magically fix my shitbox.I need a new car. This thread is for everyone who wants advice on choosing.I have wanted a WRX for a long time. I just got a good job for the first time in my life and will be able to afford it. But I just found out the STI was discontinued and looking at all the recent models is just painful. I live in Massachusetts so I really want AWD. I want something that will make 18 year old girls wanna fuck me. And I want something that is mechanically reliable as fuck. I'm not concerned with high end performance. Some modern conveniences like remote start and heated steering wheel would be nice. I quit driving in 2009 and just started again so these goddamn ipads and rear cameras and in-dash navigation systems seem like stupid annoyances. I could come around to a navigation system. But I saw people getting ads on their screens and said fuck that. I want buttons and knobs goddamn it.What do you guys recommend? In the parking lot where I work there is a gorgeous WRX in pearlescent white with a big wing on the back. But I'm fucking sick of buying used and getting surprises. I just bought this shitbox and 6 months of use will have cost me 7.5k. It's stupid to gamble like that and pay so much more for a worse car.
>>28801202>They are mechanically reliable.Except it very clearly isn't.>I bought it from a pajeet small car lotevery used subie can smell a new owner and the cash in their wallet, idc how much anecdotal evidence you can provide, *any boxer* is inevitable to fail. You could nironically buy a used german car; theyll run you same amount in repairs and maintenance when out of warranty but at least it'll have an interior and badge worth giving a shit about.
>I quit driving in 2009 and just started againwhat were you in for OP
>>28802600The mechanics at the dealership as well as my roommate is telling me I should talk to the small used car lot I bought this from.I don't know what good could possible come of it. I imagine me saying the car was bad when they sold it to me and them saying sorry no refunds. Do people actually get their money back in situations like this?>>28803304I lived in downtown philly where I could walk to work. And then I spent 8 years in Spain, again walking to work.
>>28802600>What the fuck do people buy when they want a sports sedan?UhE28 M5, E30 325i, E36 M3 with subframe reinforcement, E39 530i on M-Sport suspension (perfect out of the box and the best sports sedan overall that there is), E46 M3 with subframe reinforcement, LCI E90 M3 Competition or N54 335i (the last amazing 3 Series dynamically), F10 M5 Competition (the last great BMW)
After watching a couple hours of youtube reviews on the wrx and what a piece of overpriced crap they are, I'm considering a Civic. Probably the hybrid sedan. What do you guys think? Is giving up AWD a big deal? I live in MA which is snowy as fuck, hilly and curvy.

We are always running for the thrill of it thrill of itAlways pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of itOn and on and on, we are calling out and out againNever looking down, I'm just in awe of what's in front of meIs it real now?Two people become oneI can feel itTwo people become one
>>28803592It's a piece of shit
>>28803592it's a concept car from 5 years ago
>>28803592It was a rendering that wasn't called MR2 from many years ago
Toyota should just buy the underpinning from the Elise, stick the 1/2ZR in there and G16E for a more hardcore version.
>>28803592>>28803614By rendering, I was thinking of pic rel, but they did make a physical prototype
>>28803122>v5The power of a 4 cylinder with the fuel consumption of a 6
>>28803122I didn't know they put a VR5 in the Mk4, I only knew about the VR6. Pretty cool.
>>28803322Worth it for the noise alone
>>28803322Slightly thirstier then a 1.8tThe sound alone is worth it imo, i love this thing.
>>28801826>Thank you for your continued patronage, you'll see us again real soon.Thanks, but fire your government contractors, I was promised two months of snow and we got two days.
>>28800120Fake and gay.
>>28802122Engine braking does not produce any additional friction in the tires to the road surface.Slowing the wheel rotation as much as possible, without making them skid is ideal, but it doesn't change anything how it's achieved
>>28803238So instead of braking, you should be braking?Very constructive
>>28803238So instead of just braking you should have the engine pulling you forward while the brakes try to stop you?
Took that neo-86 kit from the tokyo salon and wanted to see what it would look like with the black limited livery instead of the initial d one. What do you think?
>>28802621I'd probably own an 86 if the front wasn't so god damn ugly. Its too late for me now though.
>>28802653just put some fuckin rx7 style cheese graters on that shit niga
>>28803045im hoping the engines start dying in mass like the rx8s did so that i can buy them for like under 1,000 bucks and horde a few of them and v8 swap them.
>>28802621remove text and its kino
>>28803045The whole car is ugly tbqh
Carrera GT is a famous widowmaker but in 2004 it was the fastest car on the Nurburgring for a short time. 2010 Viper ACR was 4th fastest after Radicals and Gumpert Apollo.

>>28803436And letting your rich friend drive your fancy car is _______ ___.fill in the blank retardSHOWING OFF
>>28803364A lot of "journalists" are unskilled faggot hacks with a big mouth. Remember, they're hired to report to normies what a car is like, not racing drivers reporting to other racing drivers. This is probably the biggest disconnect in cars: everyone thinks they want a race car, but have no fucking clue how awful race cars are on real roads and also how punishing they are for incorrect inputs because race car drivers don't want something that coddles them, they want something that they can overdrive at any time so they can push it right to the ragged edge in any given scenario.
>>28803550His "rich friend" owned the car AND was driving, Paul was just a passenger.Tired of the "muh tires" meme. There is no evidence the tire blew out, and even if it did, part of being a good driver is being able to not exceed recoverable limits. You have to assume a tire can blow out at any time and drive accordingly. If blowing a tire will kill you, you're driving too fast for the conditions. Even without blowing tires, even the most expensive and grippiest of tires can lose traction if you encounter water, dust, leaves, dog shit, gravel, grass clippings, road kill, etc., all of which can be on the street around any corner at any time because it's not a closed course race track with race officials monitoring it. If you drive in such a way that an unexpected loss of traction will kill you, you're a shit driver, period, end of story.
>>28803421Without these electronic aids, you'll end up with something like the TVR Speed 12 - a car too powerful and too difficult to control to be road legal
>>28780953Tested 3 of six ignition coils and all worked fine. Took fuel pump and fuel injector relays out. Took all six spark plugs out. A bit black and gap is slightly larger than should be. Computer now disables spark. How am I supposed to test them? I want to know if these were causing an issue before I tidy them up
>>28801374I didn't get my loicense until my mid 20s. It's fine
I'm this anon>>28799649I got my wheel bearings done using my dad's equipment but I had a question with the axle nut spec. The service manual called for 80nm (59ftlbs) plus 90°I already had new axle nuts so I torqued them to 80nm and got a 2ft breaker bar to rotate them the last 90°The issue is even standing on the breaker bar I couldn't get them past like 70-80°I'm like 230lbs standing on a 2ft breaker bar and that feels like a LOT of torque for those nuts. I might be overthinking it and I probably won't be taking the wheels apart again for a long time but could putting that much torque on the axle nut crush my new bearings prematurely even if I couldn't quite make the +90° spec?
>>28803320Probably tight enough then
I have recently really got a craving for one of these to finally retire my NA miata to the restoration spot.How are these as a daily? all year around even in winter, im tired of babying a car.I know its a boxter so I heard that can be problematic
is there anything like this, but for cars you plan on sleeping in?
We really didn't realize how good we had, eh?
>>28801716Gotta love how the GMT800's are the only trucks out of all of those still on the roads.
>>28801716Too bad the GM product is the only one that proved to be any good out of all of those
>>28803502>smaller than the modern tacomaI want off this ride
>>28803553My 3/4 ton GMT800 is the same size as a new Tacoma. It's bleak.
>>28803535Either that or get your sister to advocate for you.

>>28803318That looks awful. If it helps you feel any better, the pacific northwest is having a terrible season.
>>28803323I was born in ice, molded by it. I didn't see powder until I was already a man.Look at that beautiful corduroy.I hear CO is fucked with like 10% of normal
>>28803359The entire west is having an abysmal season. Colo, utah, tahoe, PNW, big bear, etc... all just dirt and little to no snow outside of man-made slush. Lived out here for 40 years and have never seen it this bad
>>28803485We got dumped on for xmas but its been 40 all week so my favorite cliff drop (here) melted.

interested to see how much this effects the car
>>28801469It's a noticeable change, especially from a dead stop. Have had one in my FK7 for the past ~2 years as a replacement for the 27Won street RMM
Can anyone with a type R redpill me on the 2nd gear grind issue and the maint routine of the FL5? Is it really the usual>Oil & filter>Pads>Air filter>Spark plugs etc.Also what is the turbo longetivity? I read the fl5 has 25 psi of boost, thats quite high.Currently daily a ND2 Miata and looking for something bigger to also transport my bicycle and other shit in. It's a tossup between the GR Yaris and the FL5. Thanks to my country's retarded co2 emissions tax laws a new FL5/GR Yaris will cost 95k euros. So I wont be buying any of these new but second hand when they are closing in on the 40k price range in a year or so.
>high pressure PS line blew out on CM>get it fixed>exhaust manifold still covered in PS fluid so it's smoking>throws code for P0420>beat the shit out of CM hoping to burn this shit off>it goes awayI guess the evaporating oil had a cooling effect on the CM's precat and it freaks out when the engine is hot but the cat isn't hot enough to work fully, so I guess this is a thing that can happen if power steering fluid squirts on the exhaust, but that scared me for a sec.
>>28750377yes, and fuel consumptionthere's a decent app for this called Car Report too, if you want to do it in your phone. i do both
