Any other /o/tards with back problems but still want to enjoy driving? Kicking some tires on options: nd miata, brz, 2015+ mustang, nissan z, type r / type s. Something more towards having a reasonably compliant suspension but still sporty enough and manual.Or maybe I'm retarded and should just quit this shit as a hobby.It would be a weekend car...
>>29036232Any real performance vehicle has a compliant suspension. Rock-hard springs are for posers. You're going to find the issue is getting into and out of a seat that's about a foot off the ground.
Really just depends on the type of pain you get. Leaf Springs and the aftershocks as they bounce kills my back, feels like I'm getting punched in the spine. The single jolt when hitting bumps with double wishbones in my old Miata was fine, never got back pain in that.
>>29040605yea the low seating issue might rule some out. i dont have a herniation but a bulge and that could slowly make it worse and worse getting in and out unless I sit on the bolster and then spin into it. Which means my BEST options are bmw's, mustangs, golf r (older ones), new wrx (whack), blackwing, type r / acura type s (fwd), gr corolla (i hear the suspension sucks ass tho).Fuck this kind of blows. >>29040665hadn't considered this. I'd mostly drive in areas I know anyways so I know which bumps to avoid and potholes. It probably is just a weekender go get dinner or a snack sort of thing anyways. work and chores will be my rx350 shitbox. my stiff ride of the type r never gave me issues tbqh...much to consider.
>>29040732My heart says ct4v blackwing. I’ll post back in a few months when I throw down on one. Fuck it.

the fact that everyone and their mothers are sucking m4 cock now makes these a hell of a lot more attractive
can't find an lx570 or land cruiser after 2016 for less than $55k in the US. People have been scooping them up like it's the last lifeboat before a dark age of chinese shit. Any car out there I can drive for the next 15 years that have nice interiors that wont shit out on me?need towing capacity and cargo space for family road trips.I would get a sequoia but inside is pretty shit.Budget is $50k

>>29039484>can't find an lx570 or land cruiser after 2016 for less than $55k in the US.really because i'm looking at a 2004 model near me for 10 grand with 150,000 miles on it > that have nice interiors reupholster it with the money you saved

Maybe I'm not cut out for this wrench shit. Adjusted pushrods wrong 3 times now.
>>29032027>ugly>expensive>filled with spying devicesI'm good.
>>29036915the base Z fits this if you install a diff yourself and it's also the only new car that meets all criteria other than price that's under $100k. the stang, poopra and CTV4 blackwing have strut front and/or price issues, and the M2 is too heavyso Z's will be the cheapest purist (new) experience that's not utterly dogshit slow like a miata, and it's still slower than the other cars mentioned. grim. especially since you can't run FI on '24+ miatas and probably will never be able toyou really can only get this experience if you wrench or pay someone obscene money to do it for you
>>29032032Thats all the more reason to get into cars. So that you can buy a cheaper, older car. fix it up as you like, maintain it. Learn to do a lot of the work yourself so that you can save money, etc.
Why aren't you dailying a WW1-era race bike with brazed frame, 1000 c.c. V-twin, pedal start, manual fuel pump, manual oil pump, no clutch, and no brakes, /o/? What's your excuse?
>>29038762theres not enough alcohol in beer to sterilize a substantial volume of waterthey werent retarded, they would just boil waterbeer (and wine) were then and are for now getting tipsy all day. Yeast can only make so much alcohol, before they die in their own alcohol. So beer and wine are safe to drink because of the alcohol, but they have just barely enough alcohol to kill microbial life. Beer and wine were often watered down so you wouldnt be hammered all day.
>>29039025And thats if you ferment until the yeast die. 13-15% at the most abv. The alcohol making process starts with boiling. Wine and beer are both acidic. The role of alcohol as a sterilant is hugely hugely overblown.
>>29035134My excuse is I’ve never seen one for sale, and I’m saying that with three ww1 and ww2 bicycles which I accidentally started collecting
PLOP PLOP PLOP PLOP PLOP
>>29035134Because I like being able to stop, especially with all of the deer where I'm at. Heck even my 70s bike feels a little sketchy at times compared to my modern bikes.
What killed the glorious land yacht?
>>29040212No, I don't own V212.
>>29040115I have a KIA Amanti. Pretty good road boat.
>>29040555>I have a KIA Amanti. Pretty good road boat.Ah yes, the knockoff E-Class. Honestly, there's really nothing wrong with the car itself, it's just not a standout winner in any way. But it will always get you where you need to be, which is something people can no longer take for granted, given the early failure rates for many newer cars these days.
>>29040115>What killed the glorious land yacht?CAFE fuel economy regulations. Cars have different MPG standards than trucks and SUVs so building a huge sedan with a V8 is almost impossible now.
>>29040555Hmmm. thereisnowayonearthicouldgetpartsfor Maybe.I know I can get one.

how many rubber duckies do you have on the dash

no
>>29040851don't lie i can see the outline of at least 7 duckies
>>29040834Yeah I'm jelly. I've got a 2 door wrangler but want to carry less-than-half-ton stuff. This is clearly ideal and I'm going to feel sad every time I see my car.
>>29040497eCVT is some made up trademark to rebrand their HSD which is still the original design they settled with the inventor for outside of court like 25 years ago. It's still to this day a differential with two electric motors.
>>29040507Thanks for confirming you don't understand the difference.
>>29040510You are an nigger your case is dismissed
>>29040429With how dogshit CVTs are they really should call eCVTs PHTs instead.
I love my ecvt, it's nice to be able to constantly accelerate in the most efficient power band
Pictured here is my 1999 Honda Civic. I got it after working 3 jobs and being homeless for 9 months. I put a new clutch and flywheel in so I have about 2k into it right now + the $2000 it costs to buy the car.

Hey guys any thoughts on fitting the monkey wrench racing tvs900 supercharger kit on my 1zz mk2 lotus elise? Using a black emu ecu.Concerned about heat and conrods.would be all stock internals. I'm informed it will reliably increase power from 140 to 220 without issue. The ecu will retard ignition on heatsoak. Its recommended to install water/meth injection but I'm concerned about legality and complexity
>>29040679I couldn't believe it either when I looked it up. Bonus, their numbers also include long tube headers and a swapped intake so the cost would be significantly more than 4k ... and all for lawnmower horsepower.
I have the 2zr in my Elise, I am happy with it but after my raise and vacation I'm planning a K swap and a roots style.If you had/have the 1, I'd say just swap to a 2 and some bolt ons still less than that kit. I guess I'm just a honda guy at heart.
>>29038222Cheaper to do an engine swap. Would a 3S-GTE fit?
>>29038222I once saw someone put a TVS1900 on a 2.0L.It made 50psi instantly.The blower was almost larger than the engine.
>>29040671lmaoI could not imagine ever being a toyotard

The most fun or the worst fun you'll ever have. Depends on who you got it from.
>>29039046I make about 160k a year now. Still driving the same car for 20 years. I am sort of looking a replacing it though. But with a slighter newer shitbox
Buy literally anything with a Toyota badge and it will exceed your expectations. My Corolla is nearly old enough to vote and only has 1000 miles to go until it reaches the moon and I feel there's a real chance it'll make the journey back to earth in another 17 years.
I'm shopping for a practical CUV/SUV that's economical and reliable. I've found several Lexus RX300/330/350 models nearby for around $6,000, with mileage ranging from 150K to 250K.Currently I drive a 2015 Nissan Altima with 100K miles, and I'm looking to move up to something capable of handling mild trails and car camping, with room for light upgrades like a roof rack and mudflaps. The Lexus RX seems like the strongest option for affordability, reliability, and fuel economy, but I haven't seen it come up much in discussions here. Anyone have experiences with these?Are there other vehicles I should be seriously considering alongside it?
>>29037621Fishing poles, camping gear (tents, sleeping bags, chairs), gas cans, etc., are best stored outside of the cabin. I imagine getting some vitamin D for yourself may help you sort out your snarky attitude. I'm sorry you don't live in a place where incorporating functional additions to your vehicle for the outdoors is useful.It's also a matter of taste.
>>29033725Just get an estate you fucking asshole>b-but I want to sit higherkys NIG
>>29033725>Are there other vehicles I should be seriously considering alongside it?Pre 2010 to 2014 Subaru Outback with the 3.6R 6 cylinder boxer engine. They switched to a CVT in 2015, the head gasket problem was a thing of the past by 2010 and the 6 cylinder engines never had head gasket problems anyway. The H6 gives you about 260 horsepower and still gets me around 25 MPG and Subarus AWD is pretty much the best AWD you can get.
