>>27608701Space models and GT90 are cool. Was shocked at Colvin, thought it was Obama at first.
Mustang through the years.
I got the coolest combo itt
>>27606378>>27607771these are also mine, forgot i had them. they were my brother's (there was a rouge one and a shadow international tractor trailer somewhere)
>>27609423Nice!....I see you back there Calsonic #32
just got a 944, and just ordered the gen one CTSV break kits, LS mount kit (mounts and t tube adapter), haltech with harness. what LS should i build? i was thinking ls2 with ported heads and cam. new to LS.
>>27609640>>27609660Actually I did more digging. 472 pounds includes everything, and the engine by itself comes in at just about dead nuts 400.The aluminum LS engines are good because they weigh roughly the same and don't impact weight distribution or handling in any measurable way, but iron blocks are boat anchors.
>>27608866LS7
>>27608944>how is that LS going to work with the transaxle?Very easilyLS swapped 944s are probably the best sportcar you could have
>>27609721>sportcarI mean lets be honest, the VW944 was not a real sportscar, it was an off-brand, budget car with sporty styling and most people used to just call them NARPs. Those people died of old age 20 years ago.
>>27609732>it was an off-brand, budget car with sporty styling and most people used to just call them NARPsThese trolls are so low iq you might as well just be saying they have square wheels
uhh, frugalsisters? our response?
>>27609462such an idiotic argument lol, lmao evenone doesn't get to live THE LIFE by overspending into bankruptcy and owning nothing at the end of the day, that's YOLO defeatism

How does anyone afford a new truck? Do you have to make over 100k a year? I make 72k and it would be hard unless I put 15k or more down. Who is buying these? Dual income couples? Most people don't make close to 100k in the US.
>>27609397>In the US petrol is almost free in non-troon statesHonestly even in the shit states it's not that big of a difference these days, modern trucks really aren't that bad on gas and anything you'd realistically buy as an alternative is at best only gonna be like 3-4 mpg better in real-world city driving conditions. I had to move back in with my dad and brother in LA temporarily and my bro's Outback only gets 18mpg in the same driving conditions where my nuRanger gets 17, and even the Fiesta ST I used to have only averaged around 24 (despite being vastly better on the highway, averaging nearly 40mpg while my truck gets 23) and that obviously isn't a comparable vehicle.

If these are supposed to be so expensive for what they are, why am I seeing more and more on the roads as time goes on?
>>27609460Because, as is often pointed out on /o/, normies are far too willing to take out stupid amounts of car debt.
>>27609307My insurance is $85 a month for a 2024 XSE. That's with Gap and 100k/300k liability. It was almost $150 before my speeding ticket left my record.
wtf is going on?
>over a 40 year period there has been about a 9% weight increase Honestly that doesn't seem to bad, considering how much more shit is in a modern corolla

See this is why I have a Chinese car.I'd rather have the Chinese government spying on me than my own government. What are they gonna do with my data? Try and sell me more cheap shit from AliExpress?

What's your biggest "oops" from trying to do self maintenance?
>>27597504Trying to loosen a wheelnut by stepping on the end of the wrench which resulted in a pling and the bolt snapping off clean.

>>27597504Forgot to slide the oil drain pan under the drain port before I took the plug out.
>>27609306kek, my goto is forgetting to unscrew the little stopper out of the drain pan so within seconds the oil starts overflowing everywhere
>>27609339Or not opening the little air flow cap on a car that flows really fast, it might not overflow but there’s enough in the top that is splashes all over.>>27608597If it snapped off, then it wasn’t coming off anyway. You good!
China has crushed all of you. The future of every race track is nice and quiet.ICEfags need to leave this board.
>>27607614WTF FBI IS KNOCKING ON MY DOOR
>>27608713have they ever really needed to? Though with the way Japs go all starry eyed over britshit I guess it's surprising they never took the chance to scoop up any of the dying names over the years.There was that partnership Honda and Rover had in the 80s/early 90s but that went in the bin as soon as BMW muscled their way in to strip Land Rover and Mini out the company and dump the remains as a rotting husk.
>>27608725>have they ever really needed to?in regards to making luxury cars or just better handling sports cars in general, it would've helped to at least poach engineers from foreign brands like the Koreans did.Imagine if Toyota poached engineers from Cadillac, and Lexus suddenly starting bitch slapping BMW in driving dynamics.
>>27607362>One off, track only version of car1000 horsepower more, cage, stripped interior and it's only what, 11 seconds faster then a road legal car? How is this supposed to prove anything?
>>27608018>Prezx/o/ is back to using s/ó/viet from pKek thanks for milhousing that newfag
>HOLD ON!!
>>27609342one of the funnier bits about this is how the driver locked his arms straight right before impact like a retard
What confuses me about that video is that the footage clearly shows the light was green. The retard (probably woman) in the Honda shitbox they hit is a retard for not just driving out of the way.
>>27609599You can't really blame anyone but the retard driving a 1000+ hp vehicle on 20 year old tiny brakes in this instance.
>>27609602Green means go retard, stick to walking. If that mini van driving fag just drove they would have had enough time to safely decelerate and pull off somewhere.
>>27609612>Green means go retard,While I agree, be careful, don't launch it just because you have a green
Stock, 5 speed manual, absolutely flawless paint and rims. Engine bay is immaculate. Only problem is being at a Jew dealership I know I'd be spending a good 2k more than I should. They want about 13k before taxes and all that gay shit. Car has 125k on it. New front and rear brakes+rotors. New sway bar (if I remember right, maybe it was something else.) One or two other repairs that cost the stealership 3 or 400 total. All I want now in a car is something nice, comfy, quick, and not insanely priced. I'm done with my 90s shitboxes (for now.) Got burnt real bad on my last car. Great luck up until the last purchase, a blown engine, etc. Plus I've never had a "nice" car before. Hell, haven't had working A/C even in any of my cars since I got my license. Anyways. Car feels amazing. Not super super fast but very quick, very fun. But surprisingly comfy and easy to drive. Decent radio too. Engine sounds great, exhaust too (although both seem pretty quiet to me.) I'm thinking I might pull the trigger if it's still there by Monday.
>>27605869But they're getting a Mustang.
>>27607931I've owned 3 (granted all were from the 90s) and have never ever had any issues beyond needing a new clutch
>>27608234Same. all my mustangs have been great, reliable cars.
>>27605876Having them replace the plugs (ask for the old plugs to examine!) ensures if one breaks off due to seizure they not you get to retrieve it.
>>27609091>>27605876Retard tier question,How? Genuine question. What motive do they have to do that for me if they can just, not, and sell it to the next guy that looks at it?I guess I could say hey, I'll buy it IF-, but again, why would they? Not like they're in a hurry to sell it.
What colour should I paint my Boring-Silver Toyota MR2 Spyder?
>>27603937black is the worst color on a car, I will never own black car again after my current one
Midori green
>>27604732Yellow with tan is a bit insipid.>>27603958Good.>>27605963GoodI like darker colours with tan interior
Forgot to mention in my post that I'm trans as well
>>27603932rainbow bc you have a car even gayer than a miata, perhaps even the gayest car of all time
What would it take for you to buy an EV?
>>27590945>lightweight>being able to handle heat and cold environments>waterproof, so I don't have to worry about leaving it outside while it's raining>takes less than 10 minutes to fully fill up the tank instead of 5 hours>not complicated as fuck to fix something>good build quality>high range and ability to drive long distances>functioning dashboard where I can see what's going on instead of Aliexpress tier iPadEVs are none of that and you'll never be a real woman, OP
>>27590945Personally, I think Elon should roleplay more as his son wanting to go to nightclubs. Pretty based behavior.
>>27607604>Study just came outI don't care. Make the battery modular just like God intended.
>it's has to be atleast price competitive to a gasoline car >There needs to be enough history/data to know what sort of reliability can be expected and a network of dealers/shops/part stores to help with repair/maintenance>charging/battery size tech needs to catch up so I can expect at worse, (1) 30 min pitstop a week to charge the car. Although I may consider something sooner, once I have a house and can charge at home. 2 and 3 are the hardest ones to solve imo.
>>27590945it has to be smool an look like a 90s japanese coupe or roaster.
Have you purchased the kit for this in the US?How difficult was it to build?What did you pay?What engine did you go for?I was thinking of a K-series or a rotary. I know a lot of people like the Duratec, but I've also heard the K-series are simply better for track. And lighter?
>>27607946My advice is; don't be "unique".Don't make additions or modifications that are just to impress or chase stats. Pick the simple options, build it, and learn from there what matters to YOU personally, and what is worth the effort to figure out putting in. Also paint it dark green
>>27608301You'd go for the K20a3 over the K24a3? I've heard people putting the K20 headers on the K24 to get a power boost. But why the K20a3?>>27608332A rotary would be the simplest, wouldn't it? Lighter weight, smaller engine, higher revs, +1 to weight reduction, leaves more space for engine add-ons down the road if necessary. Even a Renesis would be potent with just headers and exhaust. I felt this would be very complimentary to the Caterham because of its huge weight advantage. And those engines are easy to come by with all the RX-8's in repo yards. I think the only tricky part is making sure the tranny fits in the tunnel due to the higher positioning off the engine itself. But its been done, so rotary vs K2?a3????
>>27608381>K24a3not available in the USDM. you're thinking K24A2>>27608301>K20A3fragile, non-fully-counterweighted crankshaft with a poor flowing head and economy VTEC. basically a more fragile k24a4 with even less torque. get a k24a4 lmao
>>27607946>K-series are simply better for track. And lighter?lmao, they mean the rover k series, not honda. The honda lumps are far heavier than the duratecs, more expensive and don't have a good rwd gearbox option, whereas the duratec can just be lifted out of a nc miata with the transmission already bolted to it. Not saying k20 is a bad engine, but there's a lot of good reasons people pick duratecs. Plus if you're in the states you've got the 2.5l lumps for pennies if you want some more power, and even those should come in lighter than a k20.
>>27608381>You'd go for the K20a3 over the K24a3? I've heard people putting the K20 headers on the K24 to get a power boost. But why the K20a3?I had a K20a3, don't get the a3 even if it's cheaper.I think the best stock one is the K20z1. But the ideal combo seems to be putting K20a2 or z1 heads on a K24 block. You want the K24a2 block because it has a stronger crank and oil squirters for each piston.
For those of you who have one, either yourself or with your spouse. This is my wife and I's.1988 Mitsubishi Mighty Max SPX MacroCab- Wife bought it to learn how to work on carburetors. Really rare, fully optioned version of *the* most expensive 80's pickup. 2.6L 4 cyl is basically a tractor engine, paired up to the 4WD system straight out of the Mitsubishi Dakar Rally trucks of the era.2014 Honda CR-Z 6MT - I bought this on fucking Cars and Bids back in 2021 to use as a supercommuting vehicle when I had a 193 mile daily round trip commute coast-to-coast in Florida. Slow as shit, and not particularly fuel efficient all things considered. Still love it though. Probably going to trade for a Miata soon since it's starting to develop electrical gremlins.2021 Polestar 2 - Fucking love this thing. Nearly 500 horsepower and the best suspension on any vehicle we've ever driven. Got it for weekend road trips with the wife and to replace the CR-Z for my job, which requires travelling 30-200mi a day to see clients.
>>27599250I had two 2.6 Ram 50 pickups bought for 125 and 250 bucks running. Melling make a nice upgrade oil pump and balance shaft delete kit. I converted both to the little "Holley-Weber" style 2bbl carbs using remanned Pinto and Vega carbs also converted to manual choke.Swapped to my bro for a BMW R65 baiku but they're likely still running.
>>27609110Yeah, our truck is running a webber 38/38 2 barrel carb. choke got stuck closed on ours, took her wayyyy too long to diagnose.Great deal on those trucks, they're wonderfully tough little bastards.
>>27599250wow you're so fucking unique removing the badges like that, totally makes you look refined and not like niggers have started stealing parts from your car or that they're neglecteddon't cry when they keep going at the rest, broken window theory is based on real experiments
>>27609550I hadn't even noticed until you pointed it out, but holy shit it's wild how wrong the CR-Z looks without the badge.
>>27609550>>27609555Nah, the body shop that replaced my front bumper never installed one. They said they would "mail it to me to install when they got the part in" then promptly stopped answering any calls/emails since. I'm just too lazy to order one myself, I hate how it looks without one as well.
