Hi there. I want to street race on twisty roads with some people, just for fun. I want to do this in a controlled way, with at least three people: two who race and one who drives the track two minutes before the race and waits at the finish line. All three are in a group call. It's very important that no racer has a big ego or does it for money, because then accidents will happen.I only want to do this because racetracks are expensive and far away from my location. Is anyone interested and from Bavaria in Germany?Telegram @bTTw201
>>28922027Why need two? The race happens in one direktion and i dont think the civis would catch up to the racers. So one at the finishline would be enough.
be sure to live stream it and share the link so we can all laugh at your mangled corpse
>>28922163You need two. Trust me. It's how us OGs ran it up.It's not just civis catching up, but officers. Just trust me. Get one for each. Do not be lazy just because you're doing a downhill run only.
>>28922232Bro what schould i do if my buddy says that cops are comming up from the starting line? Drive faster? Bro thats a fucking race, i already would drive near as fast as i could. Aint no way a copcar beating an DTM car on a twisted road.
>>28922319You do realize it's not only a lone cop right?>Flock system>Heli-fuckers>fucking planes now>motorcycle copsthe radio is the biggest threat, you aren't beating the one cop going down the hill. You're trying to beat the radio.If your buddy warns you then you stop being retarded and code switch to a good civilian just cruising on a nice day (Lie nigga, lie) Cop asks why is Van A or B parked then you just say it was overheating and you're letting the engine cool off until one can make the distance home.Or you can chimp out and try and kick 1.Comment too long.

I can pick between a Suzuki Ignis 2005 or an Impreza RX 2008, both seem to be in working condition and roughly £1000.
The only thing which puts me off the Impreza is the shape. The Ignis' box just looks way comfier to sit in.
>>28922938It grows on you. I initially hated the way it looked and got it because it was the best manual non-FWD car I could afford at the time.But when it finally got towed away last week I got all teary-eyed. It was kinda cute.
>>28922942Not really about looks as much as comfort, idk why every modern hatchback has the exact same dimensions with zero headroom in the back.
>>28922985I thought it was very comfortable, maybe too comfortable. But, I had a '90s miata before and have another '90s miata now and I think they're comfortable too so idk. I don't feel comfortable in huge SUVs made for fat people, I wanna be bolstered in down low.
>>28922868>Suzuki i4>Subaru flat 4This is the most obvious reliability vs performance decision I've ever seen.I'd choose the Suzuki. The only time I'd get a boxer would be if it were a bike or if I didn't have to pay for the maintenance.

>>28921206I did an oil filter relocation on my D series. Form the factory it's between the engine and the firewall, above the axle, and below the intake manifold. I relocated it to be near the battery tray, but I was a silly goose and didn't realize you need more oil and perhaps a better oil pump. Ended up with catastrophic engine damage and an oil pan full of bearings revving my D17 at 7500 RPM. I would not recommend messing with that stuff unless you know what you're doing.

>>28923308>a manual trans in my areaTry shopping in Austin or DFW. I really want a 135i and those are apparently like hens teeth within 500 miles of here. I'm one of those autists that checks my local craigslist and facebook for anything with a manual transmission nearly daily (mostly out of boredom, but also I want something fun soon) and it feels like ALL fun cars have been held onto for the last few years. Maybe people still paying off a covid 0% loan?
>>28923318>135iughhhh. My dad was literally going to give me one for FREE, a 2008, but I was so shell shocked from previous BMW ownership that I thought it was going to be another nightmare. I had an '02 330i and it kept handling funny, randomly pulling, all of the usual shit that would be indicative of the rear subframe cracking (which I didn't know about). No dealers could find it or specialist shops, so I kept throwing the partsbin at suspension parts until something dumb like the IACV broke one day and I said fuck it, and was just done with it.I had the money to keep the 135i running, I should've just taken it cause it was probably one of the most fun cars I've ever driven.>Austinmy last car was from there. They actually have honda dealerships not trying to fuck you on type r prices. or did.
>>28923323Fuck, a free 135i would be nice. How'd the 330i frame get cracked and how was that diagnosed?What did you like and hate most about the 135? I heard you can do a couple bolt-ons and maybe a tuner chip and its 400hp all day in a lighter-than-mustang car?
>>28923344I think subframe cracking was the #1 most common issue with that generation (yet mine was missed!!!). It was never diagnosed. but I literally replaced every suspension component and even the steering rack and it still would just randomly pull while driving on the highway. tires, shocks, control arms, trailing arms, etc.The 135 was great, it pulled extremely hard and had torque early on in the rpm range. The transmission was solid. Just goes into gears without any fuss. I think my only complaint is the potential repairs down the road. The turbos break (wastegate which requires replacing them both? i can't remember), the high pressure fuel pumps were notoriously unreliable I hear, and I guess fuel injectors since I think any bmw car had shitty fuel injectors. Besides the turbos that's mostly minor shit I guess and I hear people replace the 2 turbos with 1 and get a tune.I honestly just did not want to deal with it as a DD after dealing with my 330.>pic rel: yes it's AI slop but it's accurate
>>28923356That gives me hope for a 135i next year then. I'm on the hunt for a reasonably clean one under $14k. Gotta pay off my daily driver first though. >turbos, injectors suckgod dammit. That means whoever is selling them now knows that and its going to need $5000 in turbos, and $1000 in injectors. Whats the deal with replacing 2 turbos with 1? Just get 1 really good one and keep that same stock feeling but more power overall? Or is a night and day upgrade? Do you think finding one with known poor turbos to get a deal and just start hot rodding it when I get it?

Beautiful.
too bad they're done. no more. A4, S4, RS4, all gone.
>>28923357thats what they say now. just wait and watch them announce the comeback in the near future.they need to produce cars that people actually want to buy after all
Why the hell didn't Stellantis just facelift the Challenger a third time before fully committing to EV?Seeing the new challengers knowing it's an EV just doesn't hit the same.
>>28922350I dont understand why you guys have such a problem with EV challengers. It's faster, eco friendly which is a huge plus these days, and it had speakers outside of the car that make v8 sounds. Literally 0 downsides. I love my EV challanger. It's sounds fricking amazing too
>>28923031>Americans just dont get it,they lack love for beautiful things (due to jews,racemixing and protestantism)Alfa Romeo actually did reasonably well until about 2023, especially considering how little support they had access to
>>28923031>Uhmm like 80 years ago alfa was relevant Awesome. It's not anymore and hasn't been for a long time. The other Stellantis massively outsold alfa. Alfa sold 73k cars GLOBALLY in 2025, 60k of which were the fucking Junior compact SUV.
>>28923276>that grille>those wheelsjesus christ what is wrong with italians
>>28923302The junior is a Tavares special, designed by a Spaniard not an ItalianLike how you can pinpoint when pininfarina started hiring jeets instead of Italians
ITT: We post our retarded questions for other retards to answer
What would cause a manual transmission car to shake when shutting off? It's not an as extreme shake like its stalling out, but it's say two to four fast significant shakes as the engine winds down. I have a GTI with 150k km.
>>289207803 lug wheels are based.>>28920782It'll be fine, but it will last longer with a 5w-30 or 5w-40.>>28922106Sounds like dieseling, could be leaky injectors or really bad blowby. Pop off the hose to the PCV valve and see if it's wet in there. If not, check the injectors.
RWD car newer than 2010 for around 10000-12000€ and NOT a BMW? Miata and GT86 cost way more than that in Europe. W204 is good but would prefer something a bit smaller
>>28922150>newer than 2010The bus.
How absolutely retarded would it be to buy one of those bolt-on H-pattern / sequential shifter kits for a shitty 50hp 5-speed manual econoboxI just want to try it for once in my life without having to get into rally or something, paddle shifters were interesting to drive with
Do you think big companies will ever make vehicles that are not terrible again?I realized that I don't feel like it will happen. We are trapped in horrible clown world. My truck will astronomically skyrocket in value, like all other older vehicles, because it is like sitting in the past a little bit.Everything is horrible but in my truck it is 1992 forever :>We could talk about how they are better because they don't break and put up with horrendous/comical levels of abuse that no modern vehicle could ever tolerate and stuff but we all already know.
Google two words:DaciaSanderoI need to pic the interior. Why?Look at it. LOOK. AT. IT. Yes, L O.O K
>>28921936mine came with a 3.55 LSD which isn't too bad. I was doing some forum research last night and I've come to the conclusion that it could very well be something in the speedometer or cluster causing the issues. the speedo needle bounces all over above maybe 40 ish mph. The truck will sit and idle in reverse just fine but freaks out as soon as you try to move, which again makes me think its something to do with the speedometer. apparently the third brake light causes problems as well, and when I looked at mine the pigtail was all burned up and I replaced it but that didn't fix it. if its not the speedo after all I'm not sure what to check next without throwing my purse at it. I'm also open to tire recommendations. I would like to tow with this once I have it better sorted and I trust it more, but I'm also kinda wanting to go for the muscle truck look since its got probably the worst possible bed for actual utility. something with white letters would look pretty cool I think
>>28922654>speedo needle bounces all over above maybe 40 ish mphThats the cable.Its "twisting" and releasing like a spring as it rotates.Custom shops aren't common anymore so it might just be easier to get a new inner cable/ outer housing than just replacing the inner cable.(if you could replace the inner its an easy as shit job to just slide it out with housing in place instead of rerouting new housing) Length has to be perfect to match the housing so be careful if you get a new unit and try to just replace the inner.
>>28922990Every aero nose ford I've ever been around has the speed sensor on the rear axle and the speedo is electronic. Bullnose Fords had the cable for sure. Not sure exactly when they switched, but I'm guessing sometime in the early 90's
>>28923073As I understand it the VSS sits on the differential housing and reads speed off the ring gear. Could be a bad ground, IAC or TPS. Maybe vacuum leak if you're still on speed density. >>28922654I just have Good Year Wrangler A/Ts. They have white lettering and look great.
What would you rename pic rel to in order to popularise them in the US? And I mean literally pic rel btw, where two cars can enter at the same time, none of this pansy one-at-a-time nonsense.
>>28921815>'Do not' enter the center (go around it you dumb hick!)

New S2000 just dropped
>>28921773Thats alright anon, sometimes we all default to a logic loop and don't realize how dumb we are sometimes. I happen to like the S2000, Toyota GT, Opel GT, Ferarri 250GTO, Shelby Daytona, Speed12, whatever that body shape/style is, I just love it. I don't think its a shooting brake, but I like those too. I'd love it if S2000's came back as a slightly larger 2 seater slick top. I'm sure it'd be a $65,000 car and on par with a Mustang GT.
>>28921584If it's anything like the Prelude drop they'll make it front wheel drive with an actual lawnmower engine in it and the base price will be six figures.
>>28921555I curse all AI jeet with eternal stomachache and genetic defect for their entire bloodline.
