which way western man?
>>29040918It looks worse in person. First of all, beyond the grille, it doesn’t look like a bmw at all. Second, the proportions and details are blob-like and then you get hard rectangle openings at the front, nothing flows. But that’s my opinion. It’s subjective.

I used to suck on the juices of the seatbelt as a kid. They tasted salty.
>>29041344>the little kid doing the lap sitting inviteswut
Same, OPI never had a single unique experience as a kid, have i?
>>29041346I was a little degenerate demon. Id always try to manipulate other kids into doing my weird ritualistic lap sitting shit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY2KnW19Tlsvideo related might as well have been my theme song.
>>29041338After cleaning some of the seatbelts I have in the shitboxes I buy, I just threw up in my mouth a bit...I take them out and soak them in some oxyclean or some harbor freight degreaser and they always turn the water almost black with nastiness.At least your immune system is probably rock solid. I used to suck on coins because I thought they tasted good...
>>29041386you can just open the door, pull the seatbelt all the way out and close the door with the belt trapped hanging over the top of the door. then spray it out with a pressure washer against the window. Stay a good distance back, the spray will shred & fluff out the edges of the belt if you get too close. You could use the weaker car-wash spray hose, it's safer for the belt material but then you have to wrap a wet belt around the roller inside the door pillar, and you'd want to unroll it to dry after you got home.

>>29041410Batteries supplying a grid at all was unrealistic ten years ago.

Nobody is saying solar is the end game single solution to energy production but it's part of it. Same way battery storage, wind, hydro, nuclear and even coal as stabilizer are. As battery storage improves, the renewable sources will be more and more preferrable.

What would be the most controversial car to swap a Hellcat 6.2 into?
>>29041220>FD3Syeah, about that...
>>290412340_0Putting a V8 into a hybrid Toyota is a very American idea, but isn't it a bit overboard?
I gues like a Mustang or Camaro
>>29041191Is that a Sbc 427?
>>29041422No, it's a 6.2 supercharged hellcat hemi.
Opinions on the Ford Focus from 2005-2007?
>>29036173Zetecs don't drop valve seats.
>>29031545Hideous just like every other sedan from this plastic everything shitbox era but I am a certified hater
>>29037101And Duratecs do? You're thinking of the 2.0 SPI engine.
>>29039150Duratec 2.0 is pretty common after 2004. A lot of them were sold in CARB-compliant states and Ford defacto switched to either Duratec 2.0 or Duratec 2.3 after. Most SPIs are in junkyards by now.
>>29037211They're fun to toss around though. You can easily get them to trail brake oversteer. >>29039178>Duratec 2.0 is pretty common after 2004.It's not only common, it became the standard engine. A lot of them were sold in CARB-compliant states and Ford defacto switched to either Duratec 2.0 or Duratec 2.3 after.The 2.3L Duratec was available in CARB states in '03 and '04 and again 2.0L Duratec was made the standard engine in '05. >Most SPIs are in junkyards by now.Yeah, because they dropped valve seats. That's not a Duratec problem.

>>29041026>do people actually drift miatas? it seems way to small and awkward. I don't know anything about drifting.People will drift anything and everything - the short wheelbase of the Miata makes getting the arse end out quite easy, but the lack of power makes *keeping* it out somewhat difficult. I've never driven a boosted Miata, but I'd imagine that would fix that issue and provide be a pretty slick setup for drifting.
>>29040738I have had to replace my Miata's transmission gear oil 3 times in the last 3 years
>>29040752It's cheap enough over here. I change mine every time I pull it from winter storage so it's not a big deal to me.
Looks like an alternator rebuild is about $150 and no one rewires for more amps. I don't want to go through Ebay/Amazon, is there anyone that makes an alternator with a little higher amps? Right now I have the Hitachi 80A and would like something closer to 110 to 120A. I see some on fleabay and whatnot for higher amps but how is the quality? I hear they are higher amps at the expense of lower idle amps. Not really expecting an answer on 4chan after all...

>>29041315I think I'm immune to the level of faggotry it would take to carry a pocket gun on my hip in a widdle biddy holster. That being said I have no qualms with any round that Browning himself invented, 380 ACP doubly so.
I'm tryna roller paint my Volkswagen Transporter (Eurovan). Doing it outdoors, can't afford a roof over it.And goddamn is this hard.There's definitely a learning curve to mastering the perfect texture. If there's too much paint or you roll it for too long, it will look like the skin texture of a fat girl's ass. You know, that cellulite shit?So I'm only doing layers so thin that they completely rub off when sand paper as much as looks at it.I literally see primer glowing through the paint.And there are always visible roller marksBut the worst of all: green aphids. Dunno what the fuck it is about this paint but every aphid in 100 mile radius tractor beams to my car and gets stuck in the fresh paint.This shit's a nightmare.Picrel, someone who did it right. Probably inside a garage.
>>29040315>>29040318I’m sorry to hear about the strings from the roller, try another place or a test surface with a very wide brush as that will eliminate most brush marks, in cases where I didn’t use a spray can I found brushing on paint was superior as it gave me more control and coverage than a roller. In any case give up the roller. Stop using it. Grab a wide ass brush (8-10cm) and first do the perimeter of the metal and then long horizontal lines from top down of the body panel left to right as you go down. If you get runs, you can brush it out, just be careful not to press too hard to not leave more marks in tacky paint. If you can’t brush it on, buy some spray cans but even I dont like using rollers
OP once again. My latest attempt.Hammerite + roller. Applied a bit more paint this time.You have to roll every area precisely the same number of times or else there will be a visible difference in the texture.Oh and the black spots are flies. Cant do anything about em anymore.
>>29040385Yeah I did the inside of my van with hammerite + a wide brush and it's literally the smoothest result I've ever gotten.I used a brush and didn't pay any attention to what I was doing but even so it looks a million times better than the outside of my van which I did with a roller.It's weird how sometimes not giving a fuck gives you the best result.Anyway, if I wanna re-do the hood, when's the time?I was told before that this shit cures for months before you can paint over it, but what if it's the same brand of paint?
>>29040386Congrats on getting the interior to a finish you’re happy with >>29040390For the hood in general to determine if enamel is hard enough to scuff and repaint you dig your nail into it and if it doesn’t leave a mark you can start roughing it up, it depends on the weather as in when it’s sunny and hot it goes harder quicker. Do this of course in a corner or some place less visible. As long as it’s the same brand and formula it should cause problems. In my experience it depends on the weather, hammerite left in the boiling hot sun on a dry day could be sanded and repainted after a day or two, but check with your fingernail. If you put on a thick coat or mixed it with other paint it might take a week. Check with your nail to know if it’s safe to work on. You can work on another body panel while you wait for the hood to dry
>>29040483Thx bro.Do you know which brand makes cordless spray guns that are good enough?I've heard that Ryobi was absolute shit, and it's surprisingly hard to manufacture a decent battery-powered spray gun.My local stores have spray guns by Einhell and Bosch.Not sure what the difference is.
>65k>5000 lb (possibly heavier because twinned with an EV)>only as fast as 4 cyl Mustang>massively laggy >compromised headroom>poor interior packagingthey dun goofedat least it's on double wishies and the engine is what it should be, but the review said it has fake v8 noise that is annoying
Hey, super quick question, but like... Who the fuck gives a shit about whether or not or to what degree you could "tune" a 20 year old NA V6?
>>29041246Someone desperately trying to rationalize their purchase of a rental car, I believe.
>>29041072>it has integral headers No it doesn't, it has an integral log manifold which suck and don't flow. >which have far more volume and flow better than tubes,Lol, retard.>No, single exhaust port integral designs (such as integrated cylinder head exhaust manifolds found on some modern turbo engines) generally do not flow better or make more peak power than a well-designed conventional head paired with individual long-tube or tuned aftermarket headers.
>>29038140The car is huge, heavy, but that front engine packaging is just disgustingly bad.
>>29041032There have been people who custom cammed the shittastar and got better than 5.7 numbers out of it.It requires valvetrain upgrades, conrods, and 8500RPM to do NA properly but the other stock components are capable of >400 crank.
whats the point of highways when they’re almost always jammed? Is this another humiliation ritual disguised as convenience?
Which country has the least fucked highways?I might as well only drive at night.
only places where there is traffic on the highway are texas and california, and its because of infinity spics driving brand new suvs on the obama spic loan that gives spic families with no documentation $60,000 for free

I'm shopping for a Maverick and I'm torn.I really want the hybrid powertrain and I also really want the towing package. But I also really want a used ~MY24 because the of the interior. Normally I'm not one to make a big deal about a touchscreen, I used to have a Tesla so I'm used to them, but the setup in the Maverick is pretty bad. It's not that the hvac and media are on the screen but that they're just done badly.I don't know if I should give up on the screen and get a MY25 hybrid with towing or give up on the hybrid and get the turbo instead. I'm not getting a hybrid without towing because at that point I would rather get a sedan. I only need light truck work but I still do need light truck work to get done.
>>29040396The fusion hybrids used the hf35 transmission, 2022-2024 maverick used the hf45, now updated to the hf55 in the 2025+ models. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/ford/2019/09/06/road-test-2012-ford-hybrid-new-york-taxi/2142119001/

>>29040792Getting a twin turbo truck with a 10 speed transmission is really kind of the antithesis of what the maverick as a hybrid is
