>born too late to own a honda insight gen 1it's over, isn't it?
Spend way too much money on any of the civic hatchbacks you can get your hands on before it's too late.
Nah you're just too lazy and/or poor

>>28746554The Mexican is trying to move Nissan into the upper middle tier market and reintroduce the Skyline and Silvia and wants Mitsubishi as the poorfag brand slotting underneath it.The super cheap Nissans are likely to be axed as they aren't profitable and are killing Nissans viability and Mitsubishi models will fill the gaps on the bottom of the Nissan portfolio. This idea was floated under previous executives but wasn't adopted. Espinoza liked it because he wants Nissan to be a fun mid range Toyota competitor long term that needs some premium products to carry the brand instead of just being Japanese Hyundai which is the current model which offers low quality and low margins per vehicle. Another option was to rebadge Mitsubishi products as Datsuns in the US market. That was not adopted. I'd expect to see Mitsubishi and Nissan dealers perhaps merged though. For the new Silvia it would likely be something like a slightly lengthened version of the IDX Freeflow concept stretched to fit on the FM derivative for the next Q50/Skyline.T. industry pro
>>28746611The modern world is too gay for a new Silvia to be real and not total garbage
>>28746593would you still buy it
>>28746639>electric crossovertake that name outta your goddamn mouth
>>28746640mitsubishi's whole thing now is pretty much just crossovers. yeah they had the mirage but those are officially kil as of 2024MY, with plans for more in the future. only kind of sedan talk ive heard from them is RCHill from the board of dealers suggesting that they bring back midsize sedans like the galant used to be
Just totaled my 2007 honda accord, lost traction while going down the hill I live on and slammed into a telephone pole, which completely destroyed the front end and frame.Barely have 2,000 to my name and make pretty dogshit money as an apprentice (sub 20$/hr) what are some good cheap cars that I can find in a reasonable amount of time that wont completely shit out on me? It doesn't need to be pretty, just needs to run well for long enough for me to save for something nicer.Id reference the sticky but it hasn't been updated in half a decade.
>>28745914>>28746095That's very nice of you to help that anon.
>>28746098What, do I get a cookie?
>>28746099I can give you a smooch goodnight.
>>28746095Thanks Anon, these are great
mustang dark horse
there is one for sale for like 1500, for a bit more he can add in an lsddo I cop? interior looks good, has some mods on the engine, has the panorama, which I dont likeits just so pretty
>>28746555here is what it looks from afar with nicer rimsI just really like how they look lol, thats the only reason I want it
The old M51 diesels were "okay", but I'd rather a petrol models, the M51 was BMWs first "proper" diesel engine and they were a bit iffy in some ways, even though a lot of miles have been put into those in Europe with minimal issues. The bodies of E34s are fairly rust prone tok
>>28746555any e34 wagon is worth owning.
>>28746583I have had an m52b20 in an e36 coupe, currently dailying an n52b25I know these diesels are a POS, burn like a petrol, run like shit, but I am okay with it>>28746597I will probably go check it out, I just hope he doesnt want a lot for the lsd

>>28743231For once OP wasn't a faggot
>>28743827Hello newfag
>>28743231The "dude" who won the auction sounds like a massive faggot though. It's really hard to listen to the video whenever he starts babbling.
>>28746264What did you expect from someone who is such an EV fanatic that he'd spend $100k on a trashed EV that may never be driveable again?
>>28743231ive been pretty up to date on it but i havent finished the latest video because it was longer than i expected and i didnt have the time to finish it

I mog you. Yes, that’s a manual GT3 Touring.
>>28745571How is it? I entertained buying a cheap 1999 Z3 earlier this year. however, 175k mile bmw as a wrenchlet trying to learn how to wrench, plus car part tariff concerns didn't sound like a wise move, though I've read they're pretty dependable outside of the water pump and typical plastic rot for a 25 year old car. Ended up with a mustang gt instead.
>>28746303They're good enough that if you acquire one you might just have to buy another.smol = super fun since you can tear down back roads while having plenty of room if an Urban Assault Vehicle is coming the other way a foot over the line.Gobs of low-end torque and good gear ratios. (Gear ratios can make quite a difference. I test drove a newish Golf and that thing had its 2-3 shift point somewhere around 45-50MPH. But ~40MPH is the speed you take corners on a twisty 25MPH road, which means shift-shift-shift-shift-shift-shift. The Z3 i6's can just stay in 3rd all day long.)It's a super fun car.
>>28746364That's cool, he wanted 4500 for it but it had a rebuild title he didn't disclose in the listing, which killed my interest right then. I've driven a Miata, >an automatic nb, around a neighborhood before and found it fun, but I drive on the interstate a fair bit; the mountains are about an hour away, and I figured the bump in power would make it more dailyable. I bought this American barge instead because it had a clean title for 3800 and only two owners, and it met my general criteria of V8/I6 RWD, manual max price 5-7k + 3k repair allocation. No rust but Shitty paint, tons of chips. Also parts are everywhere, there's three of these being parted out on fb marketplace right now.
>>28746364Glad you wound up keeping that car anon.
>>28746541It's been a hell of a trip from where I started.
have you ever gone over 100mph (160kmph)? I did once in North Carolina, but i felt like I was floating so I noped out and slowed down. How do you guys put up with it?
>>28736530A Crown Vic without the 2003 suspension upgrades and no rear sway bar. There's probably a reason the P71s come with one as part of the package. Still plenty of grunt in the car at that speed even with the 4-speed slushbox though, they're all speed limited because the driveshaft turns itself into a pretzel.
>>28736530>unstableYEP. Found out in my 2010 Outlander (first time, first car, few years ago).Surprisingly the little 4 cylinder and CVT had no complaints but the whole car felt like a vibrating golf cart so I decided not to do that again
>>28735463lol every day coming home from work in heavy traffic no air bags idk if the engine was tightened down right either but it went like 110 only reason i didnt go faster is cause it felt like it would spin out cause the front wheels shake
I've gone in the 170s mph several times, 280 kph max. STi on the stock turbo with a tune, 15 years ago in the empty Florida panhandle.I used to drive over 100 mph every day for many years. Driven a few cars over 120.Haven't done it in a few months - getting old I guess. Pretty sure I haven't gone 120 in 6-7 years now.
>>28735463i only ever passed 100 once when driving on i95. i typically dont go past 80-85 unless i have to because muh fuel economy
How come there is so little hype for the Santa Cruz? They mog Mavericks in almost every way possible
>>28743747A cool thing is that you can schedule starts with this too. I've got my Ranger set to start 10 minutes before I leave on workdays now that it's getting cold and it really helps, the infamous 10 speed feels like it's going to explode when it makes the first few shifts if I don't warm it up first but just a few minutes of running on remote start makes it totally smooth.
>>28741892>They mog Mavericks in almost every way possiblesome adage about winning a gold medal at the special olympics...
>>28744824That, and also from time to time you may haul shit that you don't want on the inside of your vehicle. Like mulch, gravel, firewood, bags of concrete, etc.If it's an exterior cargo area you don't need to worry about messes, you just hose it out. You put anything like that in the back of your SUV and you'll be cleaning dust & debris out of there forever.
>>28741892What are the little tabs(?) in the top centre of the wheel arch black plastic things? They look like they fold out or something.
>>28746520Weirdly it's for an OEM go-pro mount. Other than that, they just have little pictures of the car for some reason
How you holding up? Spotted recently in a Toyota owners social media group.
>>28739207Toyota gives you free oil changes for the first few years at a lot of their dealers.
>>28746414It's no wonder those motherfuckers are extending oil change intervals to 10,000 miles, it's to save them money, and Toyota doesn't give two shits f a fuck about their cars past their fast owner, the 36,000 mile lease, or whatever the fuck their factory warranty is, of course it's reliable and good, it's only when the car has 150,000 miles and it's burning a dumb amount of oil does the lack of oil changes get you.
>>28746418These V35A engines are literally grenading themselves at under 20,000 miles
>>28746447Good god, I don't even like Yotas but if people weren't baby booming about 2GR/1GR trucks before, they really have reason to now.
>>28746459hoard up all the GR engines you can cuz they're gonna be wanted in the future. or maybe they'll be the future sbc or something.
Why aren't all axles Full Floaters?It just makes senseEasier to service Way StongerNo flange flex or pad knockback If an axle snaps, you don't lose a wheel Can be run on grease or oil.No need to press in bearings.
>>28746195Because semi floaters and cheaper and simpler and work fine for anything less than a gorillion kgs
>>28746195Bigger hubs are inconvenient for smaller applications, more expensive, not at all necessary for more lightly loaded vehicles. Axles don't typically snap outboard of the wheel bearing so if you have disc brakes you probably won't lose a wheel if the axle snaps.
>>28746195Semi are lighter and easier to modify.>>28746266On a c-clip style axle (Ford 8.8 for example) if the axle snaps theres nothing retaining the axle.OP image is a Ford 9" style of semi.
>>28746351Circlip axles are an abomination regardless.>oh you want to install an LSD huh?>it would be a real shame if you couldn't use any of the good conventional LSD centre designs because then you wouldn't have access to your circlips!
>>28746195>Why aren't all axles Full Floaters?They're overkill for light duty vehicles. But I prefer to not own anything that light.

Why did they ruin the WRX look? I don't understand modern carmakers
>>28745908It's not ruined. you just have shit taste
>>28745951LOL
>>28745951This car does not look good, it just looks a little less terrible than other cars on the market.
>>28744817>Nah. Previous gen is a much better example of what a WRX should be in the modern erait would be if not forFA24 >>>>>>>>> FA20

>E91 Wagon M3That's fuckin neat I wish BMW actually produced them
wagon guys are the male equivalent of horse girls. i can't put my finger on it there's just something fucking off about them.
