Want to obtain my childhood dream of an (r34s are unobtainium now) RX-8. This fucker was one of the starter cars in NFS Carbon, so I need to have one in my life. Is it a retarded decision? Are they as unreliable as (((they))) say? What should I definitely know about rotaries?They are about 10-12K € for the 231hp version.
>>28870366the problem with the rx8 as a "fun car" is that you can get a lot of other sports cars that look better. It's at its best when it's a dual-use car (90% as good as a real sports car, 90% as good as a real sedan).
>>28868842this but the slk
>>28870349These fantasies you keep having, anon, you know they're not really about the Miata, right?
>>28870015You don't drive a lotus. You would post bread on hood if you did.
>>28868743I had one for about a decade. It was cheap, fun, sounded great, looked nice, and had moderately usable backseats. Never had any problems out of it, until the apex seals gave out during an evening commute. Being stuck in the middle of the road like that was pretty shitty and gave me a lot of time to think.I could've gotten it fixed or bought another one, but it was already my second car at that point. My other car was a Lotus Evora 400 at the time; which was faster, had better handling, and even a more comfortable ride. I couldn't think of a single reason to keep holding on to the RX-8. It can be a good deal for the price, if you get one in decent condition, but I wouldn't expect one to last as long as the alternatives.

According to data released today by the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries and the Electric Vehicle Council (EVC), cars manufactured in China accounted for over 46,600 sales for the first two months of 2026, eclipsing the 44,614 Japanese-built cars reported as sold.Japan has dominated the Australian new car sales landscape for decades, the number one source of new cars for Australians since 1998. But China’s emergence as an auto manufacturing superpower has relegated Japan to second place on the sales chart. The strong result came off February sales data where cars built in China notched up around 25,700 sales last month, over 4000 more than Japan’s tally of 21,671.All but one Tesla variant – the Model Y Performance – are made in China while all Australian-delivered Polestar models are manufactured in China.Propelling China’s rise to the top are brands like BYD which has seen a 161 per cent increase in sales compared with the same period last year. Chery too is experiencing massive growth, up 99 per cent over the same time.Japan’s sales meanwhile have been hard hit by declining sales for Nissan (down 44.7 per cent), Suzuki (down 32.5 per cent) and Toyota (down 25.1 per cent).
The cars are fine for souless transportation, the propergander spouted by Toyota and Mazda that only the Japanese can make a decent car is ridiculous. They're all made in factories by robots, as if such a huge country can't figure out what other countries did in the 90's.The prices are a bit misleading, for example the styling of the Chinese cars will try and mimick a $60k Mazda but if you put them near each other you will realize the Chinese car is more similar in size to the cheaper lower end Mazda so they are not that cheap in the end.
>>28870155no they are definitely cheaper than japanese cars in part cuz the chinese government finances the companies to bolster China's rep abroad
>>28869542Mass immigration has cratered the earning potential of the local pop, so it's still the chinks (and jeets) causing the increase in sales of chinkmobiles
>>28869144Its not chinks buying them.Indians are the only ones who buy mahindra.But chinese cars are bought by poorfags of all races.
>>28869143But china doesn't make cars.
All the new cars I see are clearly designed to resemble the faces of chinks, so that chinks will buy these cars. What company is still designing cars that appeal to the aesthetics of The White Man?
>>28868862That's because the boomers building them don't actually care if they built something functional they'd rather brag about how little they spent assembling a rickety crap piece. It's no different to that guy who spent millions paying other people to modify a mercury cougar that doesn't work on track or the street.

Do turbo-charged engines have a shorter total service life compared to naturally aspirated engines? All else being equal.
>>28868844steel doesnt dissipate heat very well, it'll hold more psi but you're gonna get warped heads
>>28868486no
>>28867675It's rarely ever the engine itself that gives out on cars anymore.
>>28869026It's literally true, turbos and RPM both let the engine displace more air in a given amount of time, they're just a way to fake having a big engine with a small engine.
>>28867675depends. on diesels it can extend engine life since you no longer need to rev them to make power. but then you got NA diesels like the toyota 4,2 with paper thin pistons. add a turbo to it and its a constant struggle with watching boost and exhaust gas temperatures to keep it from exploding. unless you change pistons. stock these engines will run a million miles. then you got nissan sd33 and even their 4,2 counterpart to the toyota with pistons carved out of rock. you can boost and fuel them into oblivion and nothing happends. these will also last a million miles but a bit more with boost since you now can chug them around instead of redlining them.
Just started driving a new car with Android Auto and this thing slapsI can get Google Maps and my music right there on the car's infotainment screen, and on the dashboardAlso I discovered that you can download offline maps in Google Maps on your phone ahead of time, and then use those offline maps for satellite navigation in your car. So you can avoid using any mobile data while using satellite navigation.Any of you got good tips for Android Auto / CarPlay?
>>28870375>I need multiple devices cluttering my car because I got the vague notion that I'm supposed to think "screen bad" despite the fact that I'm actively emulating the functions of that screen.

>>28868006I decided to use the hands-free in the head unit I swapped in, it's nice for taking calls and that's it.
>>28870438my car already does that so i really dont have much id need to modifyhonestly, since the next car i plan to get will be older and have a simpler head unit i might swap it out to something with a bit more functionality, since it'd lack aux and the handsfree calling like that.
>>28867502there's a screen mirroring app you can get I think, so you can connect your obdmx+ reader to your phone, customize your gauges, and display them on your infotainment (no need for 90s gauge clusters + basically free)

>>28865429do not do this
>>28864938Lol no. I did a 600 mile trip in my 2011 with 259k miles and I averaged 19.7 mpg. Your average F250 is gonna have a suck-ass axle ratio and get probably 12 mpg if gas engine, maybe 14 mpg if diesel.>>28865401>fuel filter tooFuel filter is the sock attached to fuel pump, not easily replaceable.>>28865429Don't do this, drain and drop the pan on a cold transmission, replace filter, measure and pump back in what you drained out. Everyone tries to complicate the shit out of this. Keep it simple.
>>28868904nigga every japanese v6 i've driven has worse mpg stock than my 5.7 with wheel spacers and a straight pipe>>28864947>I'd rather pay for gas than repairs.if you do regular maintenance and dont beat your car like a retard your shit wont break. toyotas are made for retards who dont do even do oil changes after the dealership free oil change dealership shit drys up thus giving it a more reliable reputation. the trade off for this is their engines are inefficient and weak and their interiors are the worst in the game.
I cant decide between a used 5th gen or a new frontier. help me plz
>>28868904how is unhooking one hose and then reconnecting it harder than dropping a pan which doesn't need to be dropped and changing a filter that doesn't need to be changed? How many gaskets will you be buying today sir or madam? Furthermore dropping the pan doesn't change the ~3 quarts contained in the torque converter, while using the engine to pump old fluid out does, not to mention whatever fluid is trapped in the valve body and internal passages. You might get half of the old fluid out by dropping the pan.https://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/195074-atf-exchange-using-cooling-line.htmlthis is for a 4th gen but all 5th gen 4runners have the same A750F transmission. It's a long ass thread so whatever your dumb argument is it's probably in there. This works, and it works great, as long as you put in the same amount of fluid you take out. If you put in about a third of a quart too much it makes the transmission stay in gear a little longer before shifting, which I've found I prefer.
I think 0-100 mph is a good measurement and for vehicles that can't reach 100 mph top speed can be used instead. Another good measurement is quarter mile time but for slow vehicles the top speed is more important cause it answers the question "can I take it to a highway and go 80 mph like anyone else?". For fast vehicles the top speed doesn't matter that much. Most people don't care if their German car can go 190 mph or is it limited to 155. 0-60 is good for cars but bad for bikes which are more dependent on the rider's launching skill and 60-100 tells us more about the bike itself than 0-60. Track laps are quite shitty as an objective measurement cause cause the results vary between tracks. We can decide that Nurburgring is the most important one and use it as a measurement but if car A was faster than car B on the Nurburgring but slower on any other track, it would be pretty unfair.>tltrTop speed is the best for comparing slow vehicles, 0-100 mph or quarter mile time is the best for comparing fast vehicles

>>28869801if you only knew. cost me 6k in fines, 2,5k in lawyers, lost time off work income due to jailtime, and thats for an intoxiation level that would be ok in usa.
>>28868478Trap speed in the 1/4 mile is one of the best indicators of overall speed. A lot of manufacturers have cars setup to get to 60mph quickly then they fall on their face. But if your car only does double digits in the 1/4 you're stuck in 14 second hell or worse.
>>2886847840-120 imo. It mimics a reasonable roll race.This negates tractions gimmicks with a high starting speed, yet also negates active aero gimmicks with a relatively low top speed measurement.

When did Alldata become "Repair Surge"?I got an email saying that I was going to get billed for a recurring subscription and I thought this was a scam. I couldn't even cancel because the cancel link just goes to the customer support contact form; you have to ask them to stop billing instead of just saying they can't take your money.At least you get to pick a new car instead of just paying for one you don't even own any more. I thought I could get a service manual for my current vehicle, but apparently they don't do that any more. You can't see an entire page at once and have to search through keywords just to see cropped images. What the fuck am I even looking at?
