2027 Prius showing up on Toyota's website. Are we excited for this /o/?
>>29014964This is fucking gourgeous.
>>29014672>I love evsshould just said you love cocks
>>29017717i do the fucking here not them. the whales can get fucked (by me)
>>29016018People could prefer the styling, all things considered. It's not an ugly car compared to some of the monstrosities that have emerged in this decade.
>>29016218i dont think you know what the word means desusenpai
Was it the baggers or that they discontinued of air cooled engines
>>29017488Tldr
Remember the 350cc two stroke racer.Nor me.There were a bunch of small motorcycles from Aermacchi that probably never got to the US.
>>29006979Universal Jap Multi is usually reserved for transverse fours but we get your meaning.
>>29016891you just got a honda 1100? which is 1000 dollars more expensive than a nightster? because you couldnt afford a harley >>29017348the fat boy redesign when it got the m8 engine was a big miss imo
>>29018968Most of these kids are hating on harley because its trendy
I've purchased a Honda CX500, and been working it for about a month ish now. Only problem was the throttle lagged, which I tried to fix by cleaning pilot valve. I also took the tank off because there was bad gas in it, but it ran fine otherwise before that. Cleaned that tank, new gas, fuel line, and carb clean with the float bowl off. (Prev owner JB welded it) Went to start it up, and would only go with choke fully in. After a bit of starter fluid, it would run consistently, but due as soon as the throttle was hit. Then I stupidly messed with the mixture screws thinking that would fix it, now it won't start at all. I realize my mistakes, but I don't know what is causing all of this. I've been doing looking and a buddy of mine says it's a air leak somewhere, which I have to find by just spraying starter until it starts, ergo finding the leak. I've never posted on here, but I know there's far reach here, so hopefully I can get some help. I'm using non ethanol gas btw.
>>29017660Honda Pan European is different, that's a V4 the Pacific Coast is a Vtwin
>>29017216>the throttle laggedI haven't looked at the spec sheet but if the CX500 used CV type carburetors then lagging throttle is usually the slide diaphragm rubbers being old and hardened. Replacement is cheap and easy but a tedious job and kind of easy to scrub if you're ham fisted because the rubber is delicate when new.Now, to get your bike running again, you're going to want to rebuild the carburetor back to factory spec and for guidance on that, use a Honda factory service manual, one for a bike as old as yours should be easily found online for free.
>>29018775must have gotten them mixed up.this is where I heard about it from.https://youtu.be/UjvVF_ZGhrg?si=0mDU3uTPsVCaY_gH
>>29017216I have heard the old Honda air-tubes between the carb and the cylinder are pretty crap, they get stiff and leak. That might be your problem.
>>29017216>>29018776>you're going to want to rebuild the carburetor back to factory spec and for guidance on that, use a Honda factory service manual^THIS.Your options are:1. Save yourself months of headache, and take the carb to a pro for rebuilding2. Purchase rebuild kit and attempt it yourselfI'd be willing to bet that the Mixture screw needles, seats and gaskets, that sat for 40 years unmoved, were damaged and idle circuits became blocked as a result.I could be wrong but a rebuild is your best bet, imho.
Can you japscrap do thisndidnt rhink so you japcrap drive dont even do real work in america we use vehicle for actual work and not wearing flip flops all day until you mommy calls you home so 10 of you can sleep into same bed every night you insest japcrap driver

hey /o/ so im going through a midlife crisis after a lot of consecutively bad things have happened in my life. after driving an sensible econobox for decades im looking for a car to give me a little joy in life that has aura and presence. I don’t mind if this is a project car. I want something that looks cool, that I can maybe get for a good price and that I can work on. I will still drive my econobox to work but want this to be a cool car for going out. I’m thinking an older MB a 560SL, an BMW 850CI, MB 380SL, some Porsche? Open to any type of older cool car.
There's always a bunch of these MGBs for sale. It's the boomer miata.
I have no idea what your budget is
Now THIS is kino
>>29018592Fuck yeah brother I'm going through the same.Here are my random recommendations (i'll talk mostly about benzos cause i'm not so familiar with bmws):>s klass (pre-2006)>old school e300 with unkillable om606 engine>w214 (the classic)>1st gen slkIn Europe, used, they're about 3k€ if that goes into your budget. No idea about the price in the USIf you like Audi, the 1st gen TT or the old school A4/A6 are more sober but still excellent to drive.I'd also suggest you take a look at some old Jaguars..... they aged like wine
>>29018642CorrectI’m trying to find a nice car with aura that looks high class and has that classic ssx appeal not scare the hoes or attract jdm abg types Pic related

Nice weather we’re having, post and discuss cabriolets, targas, anything which has a removable roof. Speedsters and roadsters also welcome.
>>29017073Probably has problems. I bought a 130K Z3 for 5 grand. Probably spent 2500 on it already.
Crazy Taxi kinda burned into my memory when I first thought of convertible, but IRL 4 seater convertibles are rare
>>290187044 seaters are rare? In Germany many convertibles I see are 3, 4 and 8 series BMWs, although admittedly I don’t see that many of them. Also the Porsche 911 cabrio has 4 seats if that counts
I always want to buy convertibles until I see one on the road and realize how gay and attention-seeking the drivers look like
>>29014741pic rel has always been a dream of mineToo bad it'll stay just a dream since i'm a failure and i'll never own a car
Why are some “all terrain” tires not 3 peaks snowflake rated? If they are truly all terrain, they should be able to also suffice as winter tires, right?
Is it a bad idea to redline an old car? How high could I safely go?
I found another fucking scratch on my car. Its down to the primer right above the rear wheel. My car only has 27k miles and it looks like some broke nigger drives it. I don't understand how people keep their cars in such good condition.
>>29000318Recommendation says to get timing belt changed every 7 years or every 100,000kmNow I've had my car 9 years and got it done maybe after 6months of owning it.Do I really need to get it down if I've only driven it 20,000km since then?
>>29018920Idk what you're trying to say but if the question is if you have to change the timing belt solely due to time the answer is yes, even if the car was parked the entire 7 years. Rubber gets hard and brittle over time regardless of use.
Since the EPA is dead, is the 25 year old minimum law for imports still in effect?
Post technoslop that is actually cool/useful
>>29005555Checked.Nailed it.This is utter ridiculousness.People are literally sick because of these damn LEDS and the missing light spectrum.Bring back:1. Mercury vapor or Sodium vapor lighting for cities and highways2. Halogen bulbs for vehicles.
>>29017887So true!
>>29018343>Bring back:>1. Mercury vapor or Sodium vapor lighting for cities and highways>2. Halogen bulbs for vehicles.You can just mimic the light output of these instead of making everything 100k lumen eye searing bright white, and get vastly lower energy consumption and far better longevity to boot
>>29005546This is nightmare. If there is a glass wall nearby or polished railing then in bounces the light and your retina is stormed with hipernova explosion because SmartCar is too stupid to turn off the high beams
>>29018974shut up, retard
Are there any detailers here? I have put wax on my car for over 10 years, but I want to learn how to properly polish a car; which polisher should I get?
>>29014823Polishing by hand is safest. Turtle Wax polish is fine.Since you seem new to this, some definitions:Rubbing Compound: A harsh abrasive meant to scour through rough imperfections. Polish: A fine abrasive meant to take away fine imperfections and leave a mirror-like finishWax: A coating on top that can protect the paint/clearcoat and give a shine of its own.Compound and polish act to wear away your paint/clearcoat. You don't "apply" them to the surface, you rub with them to take off the roughness and bring it down to smooth, and smooth is what gives you the reflections. You should stay away from compound due to its ability to really cut through paint. Unless you have a Ferrari there's should be enough paint/clearcoat for decades of reasonable polishing.For a finisher I use Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions ceramic. It's just spray on and wipe off, unlike waxing which takes work to buff off.
>>29014823Watch watch AMMO Clean guy on YouTube.His content is repetitive but good for a few watches.
>>29014823>which polisher should I get?As a beginner you would want a random orbit polisher, rather than a rotary polisher which is much more aggressive.>>29016888Solid advise. I agree with your post.
>>29014823Przestań się o mnie ocierać na swoim samochodzie, dziwaku!
>>29014823did you seriously google image "Polish Car" and came up with this polski antrocity?
>heavy>Gas guzzler >Bulky>Uncomfortable I seriously cannot comprehend why why so many people would be obsessed with a goldwing
>>29018856BMW bikes are cool, they're like Euro Honda, they have so many different and iconic models like the Flying Brick similar to the K1600 you mention but every bike I've owned has been Honda and I wrench on my own bikes so all my tools and experience is working on Hondas. Moving onto a BMW would mean learning their nomenclature, knowing their parts numbers and supplier system, and even acquiring specific tools to work on them, I'm comfortable with Honda bikes because it's what I grew up on
I have a gl1800. comfy, rides great, fast.

$24,950 is the new $19,999.$300 no-refunds deposit. https://www.slate.auto/
>>28997243I hope this won't be a complete POS. I wanna import one to EU, remove the frunk, install small diesel generator and charge it whereever I want creating first ever Diesel hybrid**Yes I know, Edison Trucks was first
>>29018950You want to import a $25,000 shitbox to add whatever taxes owed on it making it probably $35k, then get a good generator and converter to custom fit a fuel tank for probably another $5000 just to drive a $40,000 hybrid? Why don't you just buy a $30,000 hybrid currently in the eurozone?
>>29018952I'm gonna wait til it's scrap value at copartAll new euro trucks are dogshit electronic nanny type shit
>>29000393God it's all so gay nowyou can either be in the US and have big powerful engines but bigger fatter obese vehicles because of CAFE or be in Europe and have nice sized vehicles but tiny little 1L bitch engines because of Euro 7or you can be a third worlder and be able to drive whatever you can get your hands on but what you can get your hands on make shitboxes in the aforementioned regions look luxuryyeah there's asia too but they are largely in the same category of cars as Europe except their options are being being replaced by electric monstrosities
>>29018954I imagine any electric vehicle you find on copart is, in most cases, gonna need a new battery if anything just in casethen you'll find that scrap truck being near MSRP prices after you factor in those repair costs
I’m looking for a sporty coupe to use as a daily driver. My budget is $24k burger bucks. What would you buy?
strongly considering this guy. clear coat is in rough shape but seller says the car is rust free. i can buy it in cash which leaves me plenty of money to have it wrapped and fix up a few cosmetic issues.
>>29017884If you care about aesthetics, NC's look a lot better with their bolt on hardtop on a soft top car like the old ones. The lines are way better.

All new cars in Europe must have an advanced driver-monitoring system using cameras.https://www.thedrive.com/news/in-car-cameras-are-now-required-in-europe-us-isnt-far-behind>A slate of laws impacting new cars has just gone into effect in the European Union as of Wednesday, and it’s likely to have some opponents. The bloc is now mandating that every vehicle come equipped with an interior-facing camera as part of an “advanced driver distraction warning (ADDW) system”.
Why even bother buying new cars then?
Just wanna know what the end goal here is for people who make this laws.Do they seriously thing they'll always be in position of power and not have this shit used against them or their families at first convenient opportunity?
>>29018873Lmao you think the top 1% is beholden to these laws? 100% guarantee you there's a convenient exception coded into the law for people with enough money.
>>29018876Yeah, as long as they don't become a inconvenience. Which happens all the time in politics because they're all bloodthirsty retards.
>>29018873With UN Agenda 2030 and its digital ID, the goal is to be able to debank and deperson political dissidents, between the governments and corporations. It's neo feudalism and we will all be serfs who get exiled from the village for challenging our lords. Look up Henri St Simon, Felix Frankfurter, Sidney Webb.
who was in the wrong here?
>>29018874I’m pretty sure this post is in jest.But I’ll still counter it.It’s the rule of reciprocity, do onto others as you’d want done to yourself. You’d want others to get out of your way if you were speeding, so move over for others when they’re doing it. Be the change you want to see.
>>29018648Genuinely, seriously, unironically kill yourself. Or at least never ever argue with anyone again in your life.
>>29018353I don’t pass over double yellows like a retard, but ragers/blockers get pissed when I mog their faggot asses with my sport(s) cars. It’s funny as shit hearing some 1.5 turbo in a fucking Buick suv try to out accelerate anything competent, fucking losers buy a real car if you want to drive aggresive/fast.
>>29018880There was a small amount of facetiousness.Honestly, though, I'm going to get to my destination all the same in the slow or fast lane.Not an issue overtaking a slow driver on a single lane road with my bike, it's a lot harder in my 1.6 MX5 without a half mile to get up to 70 for an overtake lmao.I don't understand the 'gotta get there!!!11!' mentality of some drivers. The ones zipping in and out of 3-4 lanes in bumper to bumper, who usually end up falling behind because of the caterpillar effect they become victim to as someone 1000ft in front of them caused doing the same nonsense.Just sit in your goddamn lane and get from A to B, you silly sausage.
>>29018887Um. I’m that anon. I have a stock 1.8 Miata. It’s easy to pass anyone very quickly, what? Is yours automatic or something? I’m the fastest car around when I want to be.Your biggest problem is assuming people want to get places. That is not why most people drive fast, it’s a sensory thing.I’ll redline from one light to the next. Everyone around says “what a retard, he’s not saving time,” but I was having a blast and they weren’t.
