Somebody tell me theres a turbo kit out there for this shit.
>>27604607Don't worry about the jacket, I got a theory that it fucks with cameras.
>>27604681Ehhh. Indian quality leaves a lot to be desired. They're ok. But cost more overall
All turbo “kits” are garbage (trask, etc). You’ll make the same or more power N/A. If you want to boost it, start reading about turbocharging fundamentals and do it right. Anything less than 200hp isn’t worth it in a turbocharged application.
>>27604508Is the air mask for more efficiently huffing your own farts?
>>27606230No the bitch's. You get a nice braphog from a local bar who is stuffed with wings and beer. The fatter ones brap more but you have to account for the tail weight. My personal advice is find a 200lb or less wrinkly skinny smoker chick. They brap almost as much but in smaller burst, though they are shaky and have a weak grip so watch the wheelies.
Is it just me or was Renault unparallelled when it came to D segment interiors in the 80s? Seriously I look at this and the 190D looks very low rent in comparison.Related to that (but from the 70s), I think the W123 was a big step down in interior design quality for Mercedes. It seems absolutely tacky to me. I love the W124 though.
>>27605123>if youre not a woman transition now you freak, you certainly are already making the same purchasing decisions as oneoooof
>>27605315"great v6" is an oxymoron. V6 is an emissions compliance device, not a valid engine configuration for performance
>>27607002I don't see how engine configuration has anything to do with emissions. Packaging efficiency sure, and a v6 is objectively a better configuration for performance than an inline 6 because of polar moment of inertia, you could even argue it´s better than a boxer 6 because it leaves more room for manifolds and venturi tunnels.
>>27607027>I don't see how engine configuration has anything to do with emissions.Good place to stop reading
>>27607107So you don´t read anything sensible, no wonder you are wrong.Hell the first version of the renault 25 v6 turbo didn´t even have a catalytic converter.
How does someone from the states import a euro wagon that’s newer than 25 years
>>27603640Most of the replies in this thread are wrong. That specific car was imported as a tourist vehicle that was supposed to go back to Europe after a year, but the dmv issued a license plate when it wasn't supposed to, when the owner tried to renew, someone found the mistake and the feds were notified. Leading to a choice of either exporting it (to a non-land border country) or have it scrapped.
>>27603640Register in Montana or South Dakota. You can register any vehicle and don't have to live there.
>>27603640bmw e61 tourings up to production date 09/1/2006 are exempt from the 25 year import ban. Get a 535d.
>>27605882How can you tell what’s exempt from the import ban. Also e61? Does that mean the m5 e61 is exempt
>>27603640Get your Canadian citizenship lol.
celica alltrac or eclipse GSX?
>>27603580Let's ignore that nippon 1000x folded steel still rusts much faster than any other brands under the same conditions
>>27605332>>27606750Initially Diamond-Star Motors was a 50-50 joint venture between Chrysler and Mitsubishi. However, in 1991 the Japanese company purchased its partner's interest, and thereafter the manufacture of Chrysler vehicles was on a contractual basis. Chrysler sold its equity stake to Mitsubishi in 1993, and Diamond-Star Motors was renamed Mitsubishi Motors Manufacturing America (MMMA) on July 1, 1995.[3] Despite the departure, the two companies have maintained various co-operative manufacturing agreements since and considered all vehicle produced until 1995[9] as Diamond Star Motors. No Mitsubishi Sirius engine, no DSM.
>>27606798Every car company has their rotboxes. 1990s-2000s GMs and Fords (even 2010s like GMT900s rot out QUICK)MkV VWs W210 Mercedes E36/46 BMWs (even E90/92s are rotting out)Now try to find a rusty 2000s Toyota or Honda. They actually got them right by that time.
>>27606992>2010s like GMT900s rot out QUICKcan confirm mine was new off the dealer lot and rusting beyond believe 3 years after buying.
>>27606989Well according to your logic the 2G GSX isn't a DSM either. I've owned a non-turbo 2G DSM, there were DSM stickers under the hood.

Who makes the turbos for GMs, and are they the same company that makes the turbos for the CHAMP/Indy cars that are faster than F1?I'm surprised they don't also use Mitsubishi like every Jap company since those are pretty dependable. 100s of miles on some ppls here in the US. I have 90k on mine. So. . . who makes GM turbos and why do they suck so much? Why does Mitsu make the best despite them being a shitter auto company.
>>27606942BorgWarner probably
>>27606965Well on their website they only do the Indy cars and don't confirm the passenger cars. >>27606942OP, turns out, of all the fucking people Garrett makes them.https://turbochargersdirect.com/new-genuine-oem-garrett-turbocharger-for-chevy-cruze-sonic-trax-buick-encore-1-4l-tur-101467-gtn/I wouldn't believe that if I didn't read it.
IHI
>>27606942>I'm surprised they don't also use Mitsubishithey did on the typhoon/cyclone.
>>27607053Not in the know on turbos. Why is it surprising that Garrett makes them for GM?
Imagine if people had to post their own car with proof (or lack thereof) before criticizing another car. That would reduce discussion on this board by 93% haha. Would be the ultimate troll LOL.
>>276040811/4 times would be better.
>>27605301>Many have never even been in a BMW much less owned one.It's always the poorest of the poors ready to open their mouths about what cars they can't afford should be like. Newsflash, BMW is not interested in selling third-hand base model 3 serieses to you, the only kind you can afford. You are not the target audience for any manufacturer for that matter. You eat sloppy seconds of others, so shut the fuck up.
>>27604081Meh. I'll proudly post my Corvega and then laugh at your boring shit box.
>>27607020
>>27604081I agree. If you can dish it but cant take it youre a faggot. I dont trash anyones cars but I dont mind anyone shitting on my civic since generally people hate eggshits anyways
How to find one of these for cheap without getting a rust bucket or being scammed?
>>27604598If you have to ask you can't afford it.
>>27605125No, retard. They're $60,000 minimum starting price today, probably $25,000-30,000 for an unrestored rust bucket basket case. So few exist that it's unlikely you'd ever find an unrestored example and those that do exist... Yeah, the owners absolutely know what they got and they will charge market value. Original MRSP was something like ~$3,900 USD which adjusted for inflation is about ~$30,500 today. No, that doesn't mean you can walk up to a boomer and go "See, this is what I should be allowed to buy it for". Supply and demand, etc.
>>27604598>how do i fall for a scam without getting scammed? go to a museum or something, leave the money pits to the morons with stockholm syndrome

>>27606626> slower than a 2 door sports carIt’s also slower than 4 door German luxonarge cars from 10 years ago sweetie Xp
>>27606257>400v system isn’t as good as the 800V systemThere is still no mass adapted 800v system yetJust like there are no mass adapted Solid State Batteries. You could make a argument for 800v based on charging, but the trip planner already do away with most of that need, even if double or triple speed over the slowest models are neat.>Tesla new parts randomlyYes. But they don't change the mounting points If anything, this is good because it means you can upgrade the car to the newer suspension/dampeners, refit into a newer trunk door, and even steal a new audio system from a scrapped one, and just bolt it on.You can also retrofit a Octovalve AC system to a older Model 3, if you can find a good scrapped one. So long you can setup the software.
>>27606546Are you just trolling? Look at the list of Nurburgring times. It is such a common thing complaining about executive luxury cars getting ruined by the Ring became one of James May's signature bits. Almost all of them have track packages these days.
>>27606788bro wtf are you talking aboutkia/hyundai evs use 800v architecture since years agopretty mass adopted
>>27606828>Look at the list of Nurburgring timesI did, and literally posted them for you too. Someone said I won’t post the times:>>27605786because the plaid “destroys” sports cars, I simply proved its not even C6 corvette fast, and the seethe has not ended.The Tessie gets gaped and fisted by cars much older than it and much cheaper than it.

How do I find the age of my battery? I'm going on a trip and not sure if I should replace it first. Used car with 96k miles and last carfax entry mentioning a battery check was 2019
>>27606040Dont bother too much about the age of the battery. Just fully charge the battery with a trickle charger first, then disconnect the trickle charger from battery. Keep the battery connected to the car, but dont drive for 24hours if possible. Then after 24hours measure the battery voltage with multimeter, If the battery still stays 12.5voltage or higher its still perfectly good battery despite old age. Bad battery will drop its voltage to 12.43v or even lower in 24hours assuming that theres no parasitic drain form car to battery.When you measure voltage from old age battery it should be connected to the car(engine and ignition turned off just like its normally parked car). Thats because if you measure voltage from battery that is not connected to anything else than your multimeter, then battery is more likely to give you falsely high voltage reading that makes the battery look like its in better condition than it truly is. Measuring voltage from battery that has been charged or driven less than 2 hours ago is often bad idea because the battery has not reached its "standby/resting" voltage yet.
>>27606048> me as can do
>>27606048>>27606040Hello tourist. Just so you know, this board often has a dedicated thread for simple questions like these. It is normally titled /QTDDTOT/, which stands for "Questions that don't deserve their own threads".At the moment, we don't have one, but this thread >>27576101 has been it's substitute for the time being.I'd like to encourage you to look around a bit longer and get a 'lay of the land' (especially before making your own thread)./o/ is a place to share the joy of automobiles so likewise, we're always happy to lend a helping hand!Enjoy your time here and don't forget to make some friends!
OP Here. Made a AAA mobile battery appointment, guy game to my office and swapped the battery. Funny thing was the radio code screen came up and we couldn't find it so he called some local Honda deanships who all gave him a hard time and all we had to do is press the radio power button for a few seconds lol. The guy was chill too, goofy black gentleman. And again, $209 total, new batteries are ~200 from Autozone/AOP>>27606721suck my dick that thread was dead for a few days recently and it's not like I'm taking up valuable discussion space, ungrateful ape.

>>27605132Is this the Mazda thread? Been shopping for a new vehicle for my +1 and narrowed it down to either a CX-30 or CX-50 (we do not want the eggshit CX-5). Favoring the CX-50 pretty strongly right now, it's just nice to drive and very comfy. Tell me bros - would I regret not getting the turbo engine option? The non-turbo is right on the cusp of acceptable slowness for us. We could probably get a brand new '24 base model CX-50 for around $28k, where are we'd be looking at around $31-$33k for a used '23 low mileage turbo
>>27606012>for my +1Why didn't you just say "my wife"? Are you some kind of fukn bum tickler?
>>27606029We're not legally married yet, fiance technically. "Partner" is the one you have to watch out for

>>27601891I wish but still stuff that škoda gets to improve on VAG is better usually. From reviews I´ve read the enyaq is a better car then an id 4 and škoda has some engines that they actually improved from the original VAG design. Lastly the new passat was developed alongside the new superb
>>27601882yeahtatras are cool.
>>27604345Indeed
Crusing on the highway. 28 passengers, 14.4 mpg. More than 600 miles since my last stop at the gas station. Sprigatito on my dashboard because Pikachu sucks. Country music instead of K-Pop. Take the bus pill. You won't be that much faster and some guys who practice rollin' coal burn more fuel than me.
Are you a bus driver or do you just happen to own a bus?
>>27606180Just a driver.Owning a commercial vehicle as a private person is not possible. Only when you run an own business or the vehicle is not in service anymore. Such when you rebuild a bus to an RV which is common here.
>>27606132hard pass. 25 out of the 28 are probably niggers.
>>27606132sounds awful, why is your job/life so shit? Please stop posting
>>27606132Kys op. Alternatively you go back to /n/ or /pol/ to advertise public poo transportation. I would rather blow up the whole bus+people inside it with bomb explosion than take bus pill.
