Guys, I need your advice.I am looking forward into modding and tuning my old V70 2001 model VOLVO, but no matter how hard I look, I keep getting 0 results of either the availability of the parts needed or no customization options. I was looking at atleast 10+ website where they offer high customization, but I get almost nothing on my car model.I really don't want to consider DIY when it comes to making my own bodykits and interior design because I have 0 experience with customization.Basically where it comes to modding, there's just so little I can do and that sucks. I don't care about finances since I will invest top dollar on my car. Any advice could be nice, thanks.
>>28217473Boost & Bad Habits youtube channel.
You can get intakes and exhaust custom-made for pretty cheap. A lot of people use gardening plastic to make front bumper lips for random cars. Yours likely has a turbo so there's power to be made by upping the boost and fuel but the way to do that is car dependent and I'm not looking for you. Just don't fuck with fuel pressure regulators if you don't know what you're doing, there are usually better ways to increase fuel flow.In the '00s you could get exhausts, intakes, suspension, and body kits for almost any car. Mirages, Durangos, anything.Today it's hard to find mods even for some older tuner cars.
>>28217473buy a welder and a mill and drill press and lathe and start making whatever you need, that's my advice
>>28217826Thanks! I'll look into that.>>28217886Sure, I'll try doing something with the exhaust and all since I assume it's fairly simple to install, but I'll take your advice as to be careful with the fuel systems. I'll check on them kits and see what options I'll have. Thanks! >>28217888Straight and simple. But I don't know whether I'd had the balls to do something like that, since I don't want my car to look too ricey. I'd rather pay someone who has a good idea of what he's capable of. But thanks for the advice!also note that it is my first and only car, so I would rather be rather careful and sure that everything I do is correct and not too shitty looking.

>15 years ago 3,000 lbs was pigfat, weight changes everything. Heavy cars "feel solid" to normies, but you're fighting the weight the entire time.>Older cars had physical throttle cables, now throttle is put through a software filter to smooth out your inputs.>Cars with traction / stability control that hit brakes if you drive over what the software prescribes, no dropping the clutch and letting the rear slide out in a plume of smoke (though you can disable all of this)>Electronic steering (my least favorite thing)>NVH and suspension made to dampen the road to make passengers feel luxurious or some shitThey've spent 20 years making cars feel numb as shit because people equate that with luxury.
There is no such thing as a perfect car, but I have never seen anyone say that this car sucks.
>>28217874KEK e60s are UGLY as FUCK

>>28217890>On a BMW F10 M5, the front end, including hood, fenders, and doors, is primarily made of aluminum to reduce weight, while the chassis itself is constructed from various grades of steel; meaning the front end is predominantly aluminum, not steel.And e60s are still UGLY as FUCK

What is the go-to SUV nowadays?I'm helping my mom who's in the market for one but I don't know much about them.
>>28212728>are any of the mazda SUVs or the subaru crosstrek any good?subaru is not fuel efficient but is reliable. my dad treats cars like dirt and his 100k outback still hasn't seen a transmission fluid change. runs fine, I borrow it sometimes. I would still recommend an all-wheel drive mazda crossover, CX50 or larger because the cx30 is just too small to really make any difference, and if she or you are nervous about the reliability then consider leasing with the intent to buy if it runs well during the lease
CX-5 is the best option overall.Rav4 is a solid option, but the engine is rough sounding and needs to be wrung out to achieve decent acceleration.Subarus: only worth it if you NEED awd. the touch screen is shit. cvt.CR-V: ok if you get the hybrid.
>>28212687The only non full-size bof SUV left is the 4Runner, so unless you go big you only have one choice

>>28214035>UKI'm in the US. I don't think we have that, never heard of it.
I haven't seen any Jeep hate threads recently, so post your contributions. I don't understand how these overpriced piles of shit are even allowed on highways in the US, let alone allowed to be sold. The only positive I can think of is that when they wreck, the drivers have a far higher chance of dying from roll over or being flung through the sunbrella roof. They do offer manual transmission and body on frame, which is cool, but the suspension is built in the 2020s yet designed in the 1920s. Can't fit shit in them, can't tow anything, rides like a dog crate on wheels. >wave>ducks >im barbie!>death wobble >no power>useless off-road without modsComment too long.

Hi /o/, I'm currently looking to buy a new car, and I'm currently debating between an Audi A1, Ford Focus ST or Hyundai i20. Which one do you recommend? I don't necessarily look for a huge or super comfortable car per se, I just want something reliable for commuting from/to work. I live in Europe btw.
Ford Focus ST will be the most car for the money. How are parts and repair costs for Hyundais in Europe?
>reliablethen don't get an audi, that's for sure. Yeah, it's sexiest one of the bunch but that'll cost you.
>>28217715>Audi A1, Ford Focus ST or Hyundai i20i20 is the best choice out of these 3
My daily driver is being officially retired. Pic related. Its a 2001 Nissan Altima that my dad bought new and passed it on to me when I turned 18. Im now 33. Its the only car ive ever driven and it was always pretty reliable as far as getting me where i need to go. Its got a long of stuff "wrong" with it, but it drives great. I always worked on it myself when it needed fixing but its been giving me issues lately and left me on the side of the road last week and now its up for its SMOG check and its having catalytic converter issues that ive known about for a while. Its not going to pass and its just not worth putting anymore money into it. My girlfriend and I have been saving up our money and were hoping to buy a house sometime this year, so the fact that I need a new car kinda throws a wrench in our plans. We live in SoCal in the LA area. Long story short, I need a car. Financing a new car doesnt seem like a good idea since like i said, were planning on buying a home this year. So im looking at buying a used car. Preferably less that $15k. Nothing fancy, just something that will hopefully be as reliable as my 2001 Nissan Altima was. Im by no means a "car guy", so im not really sure what kind of cars i should be looking for. Any tips on what cars i should be looking at? What i should be looking for when inspecting a used car?
>>28217805Why are all the "genuine recommandatiins" always USGPMT+ bullshit though? It's as if no one here actually likes cars

I agree it makes no financial sense to drop more than $20k on a vehicle. Maybe $50k if you want a nice family Suburban that is pretty new and will last 150k miles. Otherwise it's dumb and you should only spend too much money on a car if you have WAY too much money to spare.>24 years old, get my first CTS-V (2014). 6 speed manual>fast forward, lots of shit happened but by 30 I was burnt out right around covid>already in a massive depression, lose faith in people as a whole because of how stupid everyone was during covid>until a year ago I did nothing but wish I would die in a car accident or drink myself to death by accident, absolutely done with this world.>catch wind that the CTS-V got a stick shift back>BOY do I want one of those>fuck, I can't afford it bartending and just getting by paycheck to paycheck like I have grown not only used to but comfortable doing>Change life around, get more money>need to fill the voids, start working out, join BJJ>months later, in as good of shape as I have been in since high school.

I want to have a "cool car" at all points in my life. Never anything soulless or boring. Can be the powertrain, the looks, whatever, it needs to inspire somethinge. I dont want just an appliance. EVs and hybrids are off the menu. So is anything with a CVT. I dont understand your question though. how much car you can afford depends on how much money you make.
>>28217072>Ever since I was a kid, all I ever wanted was a fun car, a good wife, and a decent enough job to afford the first two things. That car in the garage is validation that I’m on the right path.I like this. i have a cool car, but i dont have a wife or gf either but i want one. I dont think my "cool car" is going to attract a woman, but a cool car gives me the confidence and mindset that i am capable of achieving great things. >I feel genuine pity for people who see a car as just a tool like a hammerThere's people who care a lot about watches, sneakers, baseball cards, who pity you and me for not giving a fuck about those. I wasnt always a car enthusiast, i actually became one at like 21... most people it seems were car enthusiasts from little children. i didnt think my life was so much less fulfilling before really, but im glad i found this hobby.
>>28216577Lol no one's reading this drivel, jamal
>>28217313>There's people who care a lot about watches, sneakers, baseball cards, who pity you and me for not giving a fuck about thoseLOL what the fuck are you even saying goddamn
>>28216577>all the blogtextDo you even own a CT5-V Flying Negro ("Black Wing") Edition?Or are you merely hoping your life will turn around as a result of buying an expensive car?
What age did you become a car enthusiast? I feel like im weird for becoming one at age 21 lol. Most people were enthusiasts since childhood it seems, often inheriting it from watching their dad wrench or their uncle gave them rides in their iroc camaro But basically i didnt give a fuck about cars before 21... i did learn how to drive manual from my dad, and the only opinions i had about cars was that EVs were for faggots and that massive pickup truck monstrosities shouldnt exist (unchanged opinions to this day)Then i got my first big boy job after graduating college and i had to actually think about what car to purchase...At first i thought just a civic cause it had good reviews... but then the seed was planted and i kept digging down the rabbit hole, learning how cars work, the history of certain brands, things like that Fast forward to now and i own a v8 rwd stick shfit muscle car and i enjoy it a lot
>>28217333>>28217375>>28217411So mostly from a young age, as expected>>28217381What was the turning point?
>>28217532>What was the turning point?Being able to afford cool cars.
>>28217532>What was the turning point?finally bought something cooler than a grocery getter
>>28217329I’m 22 but got into cars at 19. I was curious about them beforehand and wanted a Crown Victoria but didn’t care about wrenching. While I’m sure there’s going to be people seething because of it, Initial D did spark me having an actual passion for cars because I saw in the anime a passion for cars that I was previously unaware of. I didn’t start cocksucking the 86 though. I hate what Initial D did to prices. No one in my family really cares about cars aside from my grandparents. When I did my first oil change last year my Dad spent 30 minutes seething trying to figure it out then I tried it and did it correctly in 10 minutes simply by suggesting applying the filter wrench correctly
>>28217329Early childhood. I ended up losing interest around puberty, but fell back in love around 20.
there are lots of preventable faults with vehicles manufacturers won't fix unless the government force them to like in the pictured example. they had to be forced to rustproof cars better.
Say you got rid of all government regulations tomorrow, big corpo would totally have my best interest at heart and the only reason they don’t now is because government or something.

>>28217745>Safety standards,Diminishing returns, consult the chart. The joy of driving and aesthetics have every right to be weighed against human life. I have zero qualms about obvious things like collapsing steering columns and padded dashboards, they barely impact the cost of manufacturing and have obvious safety benefits. A lot of newer safety regs greatly increase cost, weight, and ruin aesthetics for barely any returns. Look at the ban on popup headlights - how many deaths/injuries were caused by people specifically getting impaled by Miatas? Like five? There's also a point where things get counter productive, i.e. "self driving" features encouraging drivers to pay less attention to the road, or rollover standards making new cars have garbage visibility. These are all bandaids for the real source of problems, namely geriatrics and third worlder drivers shitting up the road. >Emissions Same. I don't like smog or lead poisoning, but emissions/CAFE standards become retarded when they impact things like longevity and the ability to wrench your own car. I'd wager that shortened lifespan due to overtaxed turbofucked baby engines results in more pollution overall. EVs are gay, retarded, and worse for the planet even without all the spyware, give me hydrogen combustion or some sort of biogasoline and I'm fine being carbon neutral lmao. >>28217856There's a reason why public transport in the US sucks, you can't say it in polite society, and until said reason is taken care of, which it won't any time soon, unfucking public transit is a non-starter. >Muh insurance ratesI'm in favor of bitchslapping the corpos though. Insurance rates should be forcibly lowered so as to make driving a performance car more feasible.
