>>28804280Didn't 3 old men take GT cars through here on a show some odd years ago?
>>28805184Can conform. The day after another brit and I landed in Australia we met up with the locals dressed in shorts and t-shirts, all while they were wrapped up wearing hoodies/jackets and winter trousers. This was during their winter, our summer.I could have sworn they called us "mad cunts" or something too.
>>28805184>UK is fine at -10C/14FHow?
It only costs 30 500 euro which is 3 500 less than Miata. It's also faster than Miata (0-100 kph in 6.5 s and top speed of 240 kph vs 0-100 kph in 8.3 s and top speed of 203 kph. Unfortunately it's fwd and you probably won't impress any girl with it.

dude you NEED to buy it, it's possibly the last 4/6/8 cylinderlightweight/body on frameturbo/non turboFWD/RWD/Mid engine ICE car to ever be sold. Future classic.
your 4banging camaro will never be a real sports car.

>>28805354What makes you think hydrogen ICE's would ever be a thing? It would make way the fuck more sense to use it in a fuel cell to keep a battery pack topped up vs using it to fuel an extremely inefficient engine.

What's the /o/ verdict on lowriders?I think they're very cool. Even if they're kind of browncoded the sound they make is cool and they're super amusing.
>>28804374That's for hopping. And you'll note there's only the hydraulic rams connected at the rear axle - no springs
>>28799915>I appreciate the amount of effort that goes into building one, but it's not for me.Mirror polished undercarriages are what impresses me with the lowrider community. Everything has to look good down to the bolt for the most dedicated.
>>28805174On the rear, the springs are at the top.
>>28799913I like them, but for me it’s the box Chevy scraper>a donk?Very similar but different
>>28805313When the donk scene landed, they had a magazine called Donk, Box and Bubble. That's a big wheel box. They're all called big wheel cars now, except the 71-76 Caprice. They are called donks still. Likey.

Miata bros, it's time to finally admit that the best Miata is the NC3It's like an ND2 but has Hydraulic steering with actual feedback unlike NDs dead steering and it's not a tin can like the NA/NB which if you crash at 30mph you insta-dieNC2 is great too but it's uglier so 3 wins
>>28804000Worthy successor? Im pretty sure its better than all the stock british roadsters. There have to have been more miata scca race cars than MG spridgets, and all the others, by this point. The Miata perfected the cheap roadster.
>>28804088The Saturn Sky looked better.
>>28804088Solstice feels like a car that wanted to have a turbo V6 but got saddled with NA fours because Corvette supremacy shall not be infringed on.
>>28804333The redline and gxp trims got a turbo 4cyl making 260hp and 260tq. Gm had a factory kit and tune that bumped the hp to 290 and tq to 320. It was warranty safe. It also added a no lift shift feature.
>>28804088this would've caught on if you didn't have to essentially gut the interior to install a rollbarthat dq'ed it from getting any amateur motorsports popularity because you can't run it at a lot of racetracks that and its a gm product so it feels half baked
Last one>>28657447Looking at buying a Honda? Post here and we'll tell you our elitist asshole opinions!Need help identifying a chassis?http://www.superstreetonline.com/how-to/chassis-suspension/1312-honda-chassis-code-checklist/
>>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
>>288026352nd gear grind problem is embellished. I've had an FK8 and FL5, neither had an issue. Its people who try to slam 1>2 every single time that scream about it.
If plastic control arms are such a big issue, how come noone's just casting their own out of aluminium? Make a mold out of the original one and ur golden. Even plain beer cans will give you comparable or better strength, not to mention actual duralumin
>>28797835Racist
>>28797314Can you please post an image of a plastic control arm that's snapped? I'm neither here nor there on the issue because only brands that are scams to begin with use them, but I haven't seen any real-world evidence of plastic control arms being bad. What car is even in the OP image? Looks like and audi but I can't find any audi SUV which uses plastic arms
>>28800376it's a chink EV

>design a part that is cheaper to make >fails sooner so more are purchased>unserviceable so you can pay techs less time as it's a simple R&RDoesn't sound so retarded to me chud
Is the oil dilution problem with the 1.5 turbo engine in the mk10 Civic even an issue if you don't live in Alaska? I feel like it's been overblown on the internet and if you live in a place with a decent climate (cold in winter, hot in summer) then you'll be fine. Have heard plenty of positive things about this engine from people in European countries for example
>>28803843>You can't blame everything on the darkstrust me little wrenchlet nu-male, you can 100% blame it on your peoole. all these new car engines are machined and assembled so precisely, 100s of digital aids on board designed to keep you, the engine and tranny safe yet somehow it's still blowing up after a Japanese man in Japan puts it together. you're out of your mind or a kike infiltrator.
It depends on a couple of factors:1. Boost on the Civic is only 15psi, on the Accord is 20psi.2. If you drive like an impatient tard, constantly accelerating hard, you'll be stressing it more often.3. You're more likely to run into trouble if you're using 87 octane instead of 91.4. How often you do oil changes will have an effect.But honestly, why would you gamble with this shit engine? If you need to have it fixed or replaced outside of warranty you'll be looking at $10,000-$12,000
>>28802909Just get the base model k20 with a stick shift. Let me guess, you need more? Just let the car be the sewing machine it was meant to be
>>28804502>only 15psi>only 20psiFucking hell. 20psi on my engine is good for over 1000hp at the wheels but I guess this is the world we live in. All that boost to make 150hp in a grocery getter? Yikes. I don't know why people gamble with engines like these. I wouldn't even trust them over a lease period.
>>28805138adding boost to an engine isn't even that stressful to the internals with modern engine control you wrenchlet. adding 15psi to an engine adds only like 30% to the peak forces the internals have to endure which is less than the increase in inertial loads from raising redline from 6k to 7k. everything else just managing thermals to make sure the combustion chamber doesn't overheat and the engine doesn't knock. turbos have been solved, get with the times.
