My friend told me he bought the best car in the world but he doesn't wanna tell me what car is it before he will show it to me tomorrow.What car do you think he bought?
>>28845840What is his:income?Country of residence?Age?
>>28846313Ah, so you had the one before they added the manual option.
>>28846297>when they have Binky finishedIn 50 years?
He finally showed it. It's Golf R32.
>>28845947Sweet. Last of the IRS.
Looking for a car in Connecticut for my destitute friend. At one point in his life he was doing well for himself, but his business partner got him into drugs and he lost literally everything, so now at age 50 he's living in a flophouse on murder row in New London and he's been without a car for over a decade. He just got approved for Social Security disability with some back pay so he has around $8k to spend. That seems to give him a ton of options (I have 50 tabs open right now). My personal leanings would be for him to get something as cheap as possible so he still has some savings if something goes wrong since the guy just seems to have terrible luck; OTOH there's an argument for something nice so he can get some pride back.(He got his CDL-A at the same time as me, but due to being on the sex offender registry from a 30 year old SA charge against his ex-GF he was never able to land a job. Western Express actually flew him out, put him in a truck for training, and then kicked him out on the side of the road in South Carolina even though he had told them up front he was on the registry.)Here's the radius I've been looking at. I don't have Facebook so I haven't been looking there. Just Carfax and Craigslist so far.https://worcester.craigslist.org/search/fabyan-ct/cta?lat=42.0143&lon=-71.944&max_auto_miles=120000&max_price=8000&search_distance=72#search=2~list~0
>>28847159>I don't clay barWhy not? You make it sound like it's against your religion or something.
>>2884718750 cents worth of soap vs a $20 bar. That's against my religion.
>>28846154Thats a pretty great deal. Those 2000's Buicks just seem to last forever. Shouldnt have any problem getting parts either.
>>28846109....cars?
>>28847228They actually don't. The first wash won't get all the grit out of the paint which is why people think they need a clay bar to pull it out. But after a power wash, a hot water dish soap hand wash with a superbly generous rinse, and then another hot water dish soap hand wash and rinse, the grit is out of the paint without the scratches of a clay bar.If there's anything left it's so fine it might as well be polish itself, and it will be pulled out in the polish.
Is this the quickest depreciation of any car in history? MSRP was 40k a couple years ago.
>>28844988Chances of those guy buying it?
>>28847079Eh, it's the story of the company that's interesting not the cars them selves. Surprised he hasn't made a video about it.
>>28845034yeah if a new tesla battery pack costs $15k or whatever this is probably quite a valuable salvage
>>28845034it has a 100 kwh battery. DIY solar power people would love to have this (but you would need some DIY EE knowledge to get it working.)
>>28845042Are you 12? You use them for non-car shit like energy storage for a house with solar panels.
Surprised that there isn't one here. Talk about your favorite motorsports itt.
>>28846161isn't that just mommy issues?
>>28842397There is one on /sp/. But it's filled with drive to survive reddittards even after f1/general motorsport split.
>>28842397The irony behind a sport where crashing into things, destroying property, and flipping your vehicle brings a better score.
>>28842452Who are those two 10's?
>>28846607isn't everything?
Are there any exciting new cars coming in the next year or two in the 30-75k price range?Seems like there is literally nothing new in the next 2 years. Prelude was a joke.If there is nothing, what's not discontinued? Supra, Camaro, and CTR are discontinued. Z is still a joke. Mustang is kind of pigfat now.> pic unrelated, might never come out
>>28843435I really really like this styling cue.
>>28843389>doesn't mention MX-5, a true driver's carhmm
>>28843585>>four levels of bumper insertsnot sure if blind or dumb
>>28843995dat ass tho
>>28843389Don't care about displacementlet weebshit. When is the 7th gen Camaro coming out?
Shopping between a 2007-10 Armada v8, same years pathfinder 4.0 v6, and same years Mitsubishi PajeroI am more familiar with the Pajero, know next to nothing about the Armada or Pathfinder...Both v6 and v8 are timing chains right? how do they hold up at 150+k miles?thanks
>>28846648Past 150k miles you'll either need a timing chain or primary cats. Otherwise the '06-'12 pathfinder is 100% a frontier underneath, just has a third row and IRS. transmissions are better than any ford/gm/dodge worst they get is solenoids (rarely but sometimes its the tcm above the valvebody)engines are solid, timing chains start to wear out after 120-150k miles (earlier on pre-2010s since the secondary timing chain had sharp edges). cats can wear and either clog or break apart which gives them oil consumption issues since vct has exhaust gas reversion and sucks the honeycomb back up. heater hoses have a plastic t-fitting that breaks going into the heater core that can leave you stranded, replace it with the radiator and expansion tank. vq40s have plastic valve covers which by now are probably leaking. on the plus side they don't rust at all if you're in the usa, any gm/ford/toyota product will be a complete rust bucket in comparison. and they tow 6000lbs if its a v6 and 7000lbs if its a v8. armada good to 9000lbs.
>>28846648you dont need something that big, no practical use. get a prius.
>>28846900>armada good to 9000lbsTOTAL FRAME DEATH.
>>28846659>or a ChevyAssuming you can find a GMT400 or a GMT800 that didn't get raped by a zoomer or rust. GMT900 aren't much better than the R51 Pathfinders.
>>28847235i bought my r51 because every gmt800 even in florida was either raped by zoomers/poor people or a rusty shitbox and gmt900s are shitboxes that nickel and dime you harder than any nissan product couldthe nissans unironically have solid frames/bodies, transmissions, and okay-ish engines. biggest complaint i have is how bad the gas mileage is. 12mpg city 16-18mpg highway for a 270hp v6. that and my infotainment doesnt save the radio presets/clock settings.
about to get a mx-5 can't wait to be stick shifting around top down with a beautiful woman in the passenger seat
>>28847136i bet she had fat ones i like miatas because they look like aquatic animals i bet in the future my miata will be worth 100k soon all cars will be self driving people will not own a car the mx-5 will be one of last stick shift cars horse and rider shit know what i am saying
>>28847152>know what i am sayingYea

Anyone here in the Black Women's Tesla Owners Club?
>>28847076It's the reason I do it
i just realised...it's damn near impossible to find any pics of black chicks owning a classic/vintage mopar
>>28847001Post tits.
>>28847123well yeah black women hate old things that's why they're poor all the time always trying to keep up with a jones but failing because they have no money only loans they can't pay backit's a vicious cycle
>>28847065cybertrucks are whites-only from what ive seen
Post your Dyno sheets.Anything is welcome.Bonus points: weird power curves.
>>28844721A couple of variables but it's more or less the trade offs of torque vs horsepower, yeah simply cramming more air will increase to the power but won't change the shape of curve dropping off
>>28844236That one isn't but there are street legal promods in America. They're hitting 5's in the 1/4 and driving themselves from track to track.
>>28844121Torque is the actual measure, HP is calculated off the number at 5,250 rpm.>>28844496Or this.
>>28845440Nobody ran 5.99 this year.
Project threadpost pics of your project cars- show/meet ready or in pieces.starting w mine but i want to see what ppl are working on.
>>28846898Quite the list damn
I'm too deep in it to get rid of it nowBodywork sucks ass
>>28847033Less bitchin and more stitchin.
>>28847033I believe, slow and steadyIve replaced the rear 30cm of the car so farRear wall, adjoining portion of the floor, spare tie down, rear portion of inner aches and a few supporting panelsCurrently working through the pinch seam along the underside of the rocker panels and then it should be time for quarter skins and paint prep
I got a neat 3000gt vr4 build, but I've tabled it till I complete my motorcycles and daily driver for peace of mind.Tbh all it needs is to be tuned, but I keep putting it off because it requires a lot of focus to get it right if i do it myself which ive considered outsourcing a tuner with more experience. It drives great, but performance is bottlenecked by the default factory flash.
How fucked is it? Should I keep driving it, try to pawn it off on someone or sell for scrap?
>>28846750You can melt things together just as easily as you can melt them apart.Chicken poo welds are for kids and modern manufacturing..
op here>>28846308According to wikipedia and AI search result it's unibody. Car is 06 Toyota Rav4 Limited. I don't know how important this is hence the thread. I do my own oil, brakes, some minor stuff like alternator and hvac wire repair but this is out of my wheelhouse. >>28846306Gotta be honest I don't see myself investing in welding equipment for this. I only paid $4k leafbucks for the car. I can't see any other situation I would use the welder to get value. My current wrenching gear already takes up enough room in my apartment>>28846760So how bad is it for a unibody chassis to have rocker panel rust like that? Searching around I see anywhere from "it's fine i've seen worse" to "this should not be on the road you will die"
>>28847007I basically have no rocker panels left. I bought this car to hold me over so i could put my real daily down for major work, which is finishing up now. Once I get my truck back from the trans rebuild I intend to sell or scrap this immediately. I wouldnt worry about your shitbox that much, but it'll definitely get worse if you ignore it
>>28847007You can rice it out with side skirts and shit to cover the rust. I did that with fender flares and an Aliexpress grill on my 03 forester
>>28847118You can get spray cans of pain in your cars color from the door tag. I did this like 5 years ago to cover my rusty wheel arches and other than the clear coat failing it looks good.
>see what KBB says my car is worth.>Get spam texts and emails by every dealer in the area>Phone calls about selling my car>1 Month later, still getting spammed.How do these fuckers know my phone number?I didn't put one in.I just wanted to see what private sale prices was vs trade in.Fuck these Jews
>>28847066Did you do the search on your phone?
>>28847068Fuck, I did.My PC is down right now cuz the CPU fan died
Last one >>28748217Looking at buying a Honda? Post here and we'll tell you our elitist asshole opinions!Need help identifying a chassis?http://www.superstreetonline.com/how-to/chassis-suspension/1312-honda-chassis-code-checklist/
Is there somewhere besides online stores where I can buy B20A cams? Everything I see is for B18 variants and apparently needs modification to fit. I'd gladly take a used one, preferably from a B20A1, but I don't see any on eBay and it's search seemed shitty. Do I need to just start calling random salvage yards or has Google really gotten this useless?
>B20AYou're sool
>>28845067Crower has ones for the B18A/B and B20A (early), supposedly Cat Cams out of Belgium has B20A cams as well
>cat camslol their website just sends you in circles
>>28846218>https://crower.com/camshafts/honda-acura/acura-1-8-rs-ls-dohc-stage-1.htmlDamn this does look like about what I'm looking for, hoping it'll work okay keeping everything else stock. Only need to replace the intake cam due to a rather nasty gouge on one lobe, but probably going to do both anyway. I've heard the B20A5 has poor duration stock, I'm happy with it now but hoping this wakes it up at higher RPMs. Thanks!
>mwf in Germany you can get the new Twingo for €49 a month
>>28843366I have a wife and two kids and currently daily a Twingo. Not poor-- I work for a hedge fund-- I just like it. I'll probably buy the new EV Twingo with next year's bonus.
>>28843346thats pretty good like it makes it no excuse to have no car we should have some lil box like this in america so everyone has the opportunity and cant whine
>>28844733Your cars are already dirt cheap Amerifat. Niggers driving around with luxury EVs as if they were bus rides.
>>28844314>65hp>20kgrim
>>28844596>16A 3 phase is relatively common, many people already have it in their garage to run circular saws or welding machines.Not only that, a lot of people have 16A triple phase in the kitchen these days, so an outlet in the garage is a given>>28844600>>europoors>>having garages with circular saws or welding machinesKek, nigga do you think everyone in Yurup lives in a flat?
official car of the npc
>>28846823Yeah for sure. Maybe the Honda CRV is worse
>>28846823even more npc is the class of crossover even smaller, like a mitsubishi asx or eclipse cross
>>28846880Or the (dead) Ford Escape, or its replacement, the Bronco Sport.Actually, Bronco Sports are for NPC poseurs who want people to think that they think for themselves.
>>28846823SUVs in general are an abomination on the roads. Even more so Toyota/Lexus SUVs with that god awful grill.
>>2884682399% of people don't give a shit about cars and aren't enthoosyeststhey just want an appliance that takes them A-to-B. they don't care you find it NPC. it's like cologne fetishists calling you NPC for not spraying German Poop Essence™ by Issey Miayke on your neckso yes, all these retards in Rape4s are doing it right. it's affordable transportation that also allows them to do an outdoor activity a few times a year
