>browse used M3/4's>all xDrive models have their xDrive badge removedKWAB. imagine being too much of a pussy to drive RWD and then debadge your xDrive shitbox so nobody points and laughs at you for being a little bitch.
How do I reduce the weight of conrods without making them too unreliable? I kinda sorta cracked a sleeve under boost, made just 2x the stock hp, and I suspect the reason for this is these mfs, each weigh 1.3 kg on a 1.5l engine.
>>28805575Crankshafts are balanced based on the weight of pistons and rods.Lightening the rods means the crank will have to be rebalanced.If OP cant afford custom parts then he cant afford custom work.This thread is a waste of time.
>>28806146That's where you are wrong matey. Custom parts are much more expensive than a box of beer
could VAZ-2106 connecting rod and pistons be made to work ?
>>28806234You're not getting someone to do this for a 12 pack.

Thoughts on the new nissan wheels?
OEM wheels haven't looked good for 20 years
>>28806557I really love these ones on the new frontiers
>>28806557i think nissans are for subhumans
Are they based, big teste'd machinea that you put blood, sweat and tears into or cringe and poor tryhard shitboxes that embarrass the original?
>>28806142I want a Lotus 7 kit car so badly, it's a genuine life goal of mine.I don't know what flavour I'd go with because Caterham is ridiculously expensive here in Australia and I want to do a fair bit of the work myself. The "only" thing stopping me is not having a garage, any time, or enough money.
>>28806142I love how everybody here is constantly bitching about cars being too heavy, complex and expensive yet everybody completely ignores kit cars.
>>28806142There is a reason people sell them after 500 miles.
>>28806407It's because most of them can't change a tire let alone build a car.
>>28806178Another great example of where the kit car is superior to the original.
>*battery voltage drops slightly*>ruh roh guess i need a brand new oneif you've ever replaced a battery even once instead of simply recharging you're cognitive deficient (intellectual disability)>bbbut muh crystalzreversible, peon.
tfw batteries last 3-4 years tops and cost $200 minimum now
>>28806526They last a lot longer than that if you're not retarded. They are expensive now which wouldn't be an issue if you were getting some virgin lead but it's all recycled bullshit now even if you go for a Memetima.
>>28806031>centuries of abuseHow old are you?
It's worth it to buy the expensive kind I think

NARPs welcomeNews:>New Compact Crossover coming. >Gaymen electric may be reengineered for gas engine. Which is odd. The old gaymen was MMB like the 911. The new Caymen is supposed to be pure electric. I have had strong suspension that ‘new’ platform is more like the 944/968 ‘new’ platform and that the Taycan is really a modified Panamera and this new electric Caymen is just a modified MMB. >Cayenne and Panamera will continue on into the next decade >911 Turbo S coming in 2026 will be hybrid, 700hp Post your Porsche and your rennbow and why you picked it. Mods have confirmed they will ban any BMW posting.
>>28806101Yeah the 5 year package was 5500. Maybe I should've got but seemed like a ripoff at the time. Probably just go to a different shop. Engine air filter is a pain in the ass but I can remove the wheels and some fender panels myself.

>>28773613I rode in a Porsche once. A gay bald asian was driving me to his apartment for what he thought was gay sex. Pretty cars tho.
>>28806106If you’re poor you shouldn’t be buying Porsche. Maybe a Toyota is more your speed, brown son.

It's good to be a Jaaaag.
How hard are they to live with. Am I regarded? They look so damn elegant. I have some experience with a W124 but it was EFI not K-Jet or D-Jet. Looking at the V8s as we got no diesels in my country.
>>28805440>Am I regarded?I regard you very well
>>28805440Everything is some overengineered bespoke mechanical solution because the car was made too early. I don't know how you'd go about repairing or replacing shit like the automatic windows let alone the serious stuff like the fuelling system. I've thought about getting one and slowly replacing systems with bits from a more modern Benz before, you lose some purity I suppose but presumably gain some reliability and make future maintenance cheaper. They're such cool looking cars, the coupe and wagon especially. I'd love a turbo diesel for the simplicity and reliability compared to the V8, the V8 is cool though.
The W126 is better in each and every way.
>>28805440>hard to live withNo not if in good condition. Getting hard to find parts for though, and expensive in decent condition.
>tfw have to drive a 24 year old rusted shitbox with 225k miles on it from Vermont to Arizona.Any advice to get there without getting stranded?
>>28806333kek
honestly it's nothing on the car, it is more taxing on you, unless you really love just driving a car you will want to kill yourself about halfway thru kansas or texas.
>>28806176Can you arrange to have it shipped? That would be more expensive up front, but might be worth it.
>>28806176Just rent a car, fuck doing a trip that far on a motor that could blow up at any moment. Unless you're moving and you're really attached to this car and in that case it's worth it to just get it towed to Arizona.
>>28806176A car transporter will cost you less than a tow and repair. Get that shit trailered.
What was the people's getaway car before 1965?
Mk2 Jaguar
>>28806126correct
>>28805772Look to American stock cars. The whole NASCAR thing started from moonshine runners showing off their getaway moves.
>>28806126I fucking kneel
>>28806085I don't like cops but I'm glad they did this
My friend starts early retirement and he wants to buy some weird, 3-wheel motorcycle thing to ease the pain of broken dreams and to move him to the rest of his life. Yeah, that's retarded and I'll have to speak with him.But just to make sure: only answer is Miata, right?
NA/NB Miatas gave gotten stupid expensive here in US/Canada. Go for an NC. More comfortable, more airbags, still tiny relative to today's cars. Best priced cause it's the least popular. ND is cool. Do y'all get the 2.0 liter 181hp version they updated to in 2019 for the ND2 in Europe?
>>28806143I dunno, I find all the models between 1953-1982 to look pretty cool.
>>28805996C8 is like 1,500 lb heavier. I think a better "classy" comparison would be another lightweight roadster. Maybe a Morgan?
>>28806181>Do y'all get the 2.0 liter 181hp version they updated to in 2019 for the ND2 in Europe?A year or two ago it was deemed not kosher according to EU's law. Until next gen MX5 we're stuck with 130hp MT if you want brand new.
>>28805690>only answer is Miata, right?Miata is a good choice. Also think of a Seven as it's halfway between a Miata and a trike.
Nobody is buying new cars because they are $52k on average and there are only so many single mothers to take advantage of. Lots of dealers have cars from the 23 and 24 model year just sitting around that won't sell. This makes the price of used cars go up because less cars are entering the used market. Most people don't want to pay $10k for a shitty nissan so a lot of used cars are not moving either. So what the fuck is the future of cars? Less and less people are falling for infinite debt slavery so when will the $20k new Civics come back? There is no auto industry if nobody buys
>>28806495Those people were also boomers that lived in the good old days and had money to spend. Le white people are only a small part of the equation>>28806496be careful anon you're in danger of being intelligent
>>28806475>you forgot to factor in the fact that wages have not kept upYou know why? we're able to exploit browns and pay them nothing, destroying out economy in the process, once again, browns are the most damaging thing to ever occur, if you are brown I'm sorry but you are the problem, especially if you're inside the United States, you are literally destroying the entire country from the inside out by simply existing here
>>28806496The browns are able to pool their limited funds, you see it a lot, entire families of 12-20 people living in one house, they all pitch in and make the bills, the sewer systems are overloaded by it, the electrical grid is overloaded by it, the water distribution system is overloaded by it, but they scrape by, they also buy nice cars and pool the money together, all 10 of them making 10 dollars an hour are perfectly content living 10 to a tiny house, white people would never tolerate this, they want an entire house for their one wife and one child, but they can't have it because wages are so low due to the mixing of browns into society
>>28806509It's really more that women were allowed to enter the workplace and doubled the labor supply instantly. Illegal immigration/mass immigration also hugely and negatively impacts wages. Sorry but the "brown" guy working at the dealership that won't give you a low interest rate isn't destroying the car market or the economy
>>28806515I have no problems with interest rates, do not project onto me your own problems, giving women the right to to vote was largely pivotal to the undoing of the United States as well
Hey /o/, I am in the market for a new car and I have enough scratch to invest into something, I’m currently looking at the A90 supra (and some others) and I just wanted to know what exhaust system is recommended?I’m mostly looking at the HKS catback exhaust, the Tomei exhaust, and the AWE track exhaust. I want something that still is loud and improves performance by a decent margin (as far as exhausts are concerned).Also, while we’re at it I might as well ask about a good aftermarket turbo rec, since it’s apart of the exhaust system (as far as I know, I don’t know much about forced induction systems). I’d want something that sounds good but without sounding like a tiktok cuck, unless it’s for pure performance.I think that’s the basic stuff outside of rims and the intercooler, but that’s for when I actually buy the car.
>>28801260Titanium doesn't sound as good as steel due to its lack of resonance, and what's a kenjigarage?
>>28800897hood dump
>>28801260>titanium has a really nice soundyou use titanium because of its weight not because it sounds better you fucking retardcar guys don't know the first fucking thing about acoustics and that's why the LFA is still legendary for having someone who knows shit from fuck work on the exhaust note
>>28800897>a90 supra one that recirculates into drivers window
>>28800897>what exhaust system is recommended?The stock exhaust so it doesn't sound like a stupid shitheap.
