here’s mine‘88 corolla, 4AF 3sp auto103k miles on the clock, just rebuilt the top end & carb, converted to head studs and a few other things.
>>27830316>converted to head studswhy nigger it makes like 80hp
>>27830316SHEEEEIT ESE THATS A SWEET RIDE, YA FEEL ME HERMANOBACK HOME IVE GOT A 92 CIVIC WITH THE SWEETEST EXHAUST
>>27830866Simón loco
>>27830843Not OP, but since you're gonna have to buy new head bolts anyway you might as well put in head studs.
>>27830944thats retarded as fuck unless you're pushing a ton more power than stock and need more clamp force on the deckhope OP enjoys his out of round cylinders
>>27830316catI will convert to studs for the exhaust manifold. Torqueing into aluminum is shit.
>>27830316A civic
Cat says hello
>>27830953mwow
>>27830843>$80 for ARP studs >$50 for new stretch bolts gonna have to tear the head off in the future, what’s your point, niggernuts? by the way it actually makes 90hp you humongous faggot
>>27830316>3sp autogrim
>>27830953hello kitty:3
>>27831124good news is it doesn’t have a tach so i can’t see how wound up the engine is while doing 75mph on the freeway
>>27830866fuckin orale carnal, i’m not a beaner though
>3 speedIf you money shift with that, you're added to the special persons list
>>2783031681 C1500 and 87 R20. I've had the truck for almost a decade now, probably put around 300k miles on it, virtually nothing stock left anymore.
>>27830316blob with a few simple mods>ported K24A1 head>TSX pistons so i can run cams>mystery cams i got off ebay>MY2007 ECU with adapter harness and KTuner (costs more than the entire car)>Stock K24A4 block>Aliexpress intake manifold>J37A4 electronic throttle body>short ram (hot air) intake>stock automatic transmission with manual torque converter locker and external arduino-based TCU>sound system for EDM and hearing loss>TSX mirrorsMakes like 170hp at 6500rpm and an enormous roar of intake noises.my DD since 2017
>>27831191There's something extremely cozy about older trucks. I'm fighting the urge to try and rebuild an old F-150 or something.
>>27831399Dont fight the urge.
>>27831399Get an old Dodge instead, they are alot cheaper to work on.
>>27831420I have another car I want to build first. I think the debate right now is that I know an F-150 is going to be easier, due to them being ubiquitous and you can pretty much build a working truck just by visiting junk yards.
>>27831423Really? How so?
>>27830316Luv me box
>>27830948you sound retarded, how in the fuck are head studs going to warp the bore on a 90hp engine.
>>27830316'89 Corolla, 4AF and 3sp auto as well168k miles, have had to replace the suspension twice cause I kept jumping it on backroads
>>27830316>only 100k miles and it had to be rebuiltToyota is trashI had to rebuild my Toyota at low miles too, most over hyped brand
>>27830316
>>27831525i had a pinhole leak and didn’t know, was driving 4 hours back home through the AZ desert when i blew the head. pulled the rod caps off when i was cleaning up my bottom end and the bearings looked great for 100k, torqued everything down and sent her home. it’s been over 100* every day here in socal and she hasn’t skipped a beat, running the AC at all times.
>>27831471that thing is sweet, had no idea AE92s came with a sunroof. i slammed mine on china coils so i’m not doing much jumping but i do a lot of E-brake pulls cause why not.
>>27831537Rod bearings don’t ever wear, it’s cylinder bores, rings, valves and valve seats Bottoms ends never wear, top ends do
>>27831546valvetrain is all brand new, i should’ve re-ringed it because it uses a bit of oil but it’s a 30 going on 40 year old car, i’m not too worried about it.
>>27830316Are you eating the cat?
>>27831922nah, that’s buster conan. he showed up at my house one day and is pretty chill. >working on daily or racecar >buster hops right up into the engine bay to kick it with me
>>27831122>>27831461yes you are right
>>27831952explain to me how converting studs will oval my bore, please. i’m all ears and willing to learn something new today.
>>27831925He has such velvety nutsI'm jealous
>>27831970they’re getting lobbed off soon if he doesn’t stop spraying everything.
>>27831959more clamp force pulls the bores out of shapeyou have to have the block honed with a torque plate
>>27831979meh, it’s a 90hp corolla. the shop that assembled the longblock for my STi had a warped bore in their 600whp shop car and it took years of abuse before killing itself.
>>27831546>Bottoms ends never wearSometimes they do...
>2006 focus ZX3>5 speed poverty spec model, doesn't even have a tach >Previous owner got alloys from a previous model year focus>Added a rear sway bar (low trims didn't have them)>Converted to rear disc brakes>Debating getting the SVT kit for struts and springsFunnest little egg I've owned
>>27832177>Converted to rear disc brakeswhy?
>>27830843Head studs make the engine smoother and more efficient. They increase torque in the midrange leading to better acceleration and fuel economy. Head studs are also lighter than bolts. Lower mass in front makes the car understeer less leading to far better road holding
>>27830316Today I drove my most broken truck, 94 7.3IDI-T, ZF5 swap, really janky lift, loose lug nuts, loose u-bolts, everything rattles, I can't see out of the cab because it ended up upside down at some point and the glass is all broke. I love it dearly.
>>27832258Because I wanted a project and the rear drums on these are known for squeaking
>>27832277ok. tell me how cylinder head fasteners can change how an engine runs - assuming the original ones were installed correctly.
>>27832288IDI-T one of the most based diesel engines ever made. jelly.
Its a 2024 turbo hatch, I dont plan on getting another vehicle in the next 20 years. This car has exactly what i want.
>>27832326i’m sure it’s a joke
I daily this shitheap shitbox
>>27832277>Head studs make the engine smoother and more efficientlolwut
>>27832327Good taste anon. Have some brrrrrrt noises.>>>/wsg/5626587
I actually don't have my own pic of it.but I assure you the body is in much worse condition, but the thing's been stupid reliable. it's also a decent poorfag crooooooozer
>>27832350That colour looks good. Mazda3 hatches are great looking cars
>>27830316Depends on how far I'm driving or the time of day.
>>27833248Its the best. Only issue with it when it gets filthy, it stands out
Here is mine08 E91 318d(n47) manual237ish got it like 2 months agomay be regullar traffic but man its an amazing daily>>27830316Nice corolla>>27830949luv the swiftknow a dutch bro that told me he buys them whenever he sees one for sale.>>27830951ah yes the starter car in underground 2>>27831282the inferior civic>>27831471nice corolla>>27832350nice regular trafficmakes a good daily>>27832381ah yes the methgen>>27833004the fuck is this shit?is this supposed to be a gook luxo box?
>>27833676nah just the sonata, regular gook midsize, but for some reason it feels bargier than Accords and Camery's of it's time despite being exactly the same size as them. I think it's just the styling and suspension.
>>27831427Getting used parts are much cheaper as there are a ton of these trucks but there isn't the demand for them like there are for Fords and Chevys, practically giving them away.If I didn't fall in love with the second gen Rams, I'd definitely have one myself.
>>27832177>>2006>doesn't have a tachwow, I thought that stopped in the 70s
>>27831925I had a catbro show up last year. I fed him and let him chill in my garage. He hung around until a week or so ago. I've seen him at the mexican's house next door a couple of times. I guess he likes tacos and living with 13 people more than hanging in my garage with me. Traitor.
>>278303162015 silverado 1500. Has the 4.8, it's alright. Drive it when it's raining or if I need to haul stuff, otherwise I'm either on my little Honda Navi or my Bonneville. I drove a 1990 K frame Blazer for about 15 years until the engine and trans both went out and I never got around to fixing them. Sold it and regret it. Oh well.
>>27830953>>27830316>>27831925He ornj
>>27831541>>27833676I luv me corolla.Need to get it painted though, earlier pic hid a lot of the faded clearcoat.
88 crx si with 320k miles
A turbo shit box
>>27834802YWNBASB
>>27834830correct, he will never be a son of a bitch
>>27834673something about these AE92s man mine almost patina at this point. i want to get it painted but cheap paint jobs aren’t good and good paint jobs are cheap. i’d rather get wheels and a JDM/EDM wagon face for it.
>>27834802this guy fucksis it VG or RB?
>>27835119Wouldn't exactly call that a shitbox m8
>>27834673How many miles on her, nigga?
13 accord CVTbought new with 2 miles, now at 119k miles with routine maintenance and still runs like the day I bought itbeen my only car for 11 years
>>27830316Here's my '92 Camry that I daily.
>>27830316I got it with only 50K km, now it’s 150K never has an issue other than replacing the HID bulbs
hihi
>>27834998Early vq30det. No vvt or vvi. It's really nice for just cruising back and forth to work until you remember it takes premium fuel and gets about 15mpg
This pic is a couple of years old, it has dark tint now.
>>27830316lotsa cars are lookers in the 80s this aint one of them, what a waste of time effortmaybe get a car the average person can even identify
>>27836551>imagine me>based>chad>shredded>has a race car and reliable 80s shitbox daily >not caring about what you have to say >now imagine you>faggot>nigger>not based>rides the bus>doesn’t have a race cardamn bro, you be safe out there.
>>27830316I do like those chrome rims on top of the steelies
>>27836560Do you live in the IE?
>>27836562thanks, i’m trying to find some 14 or 15” work equips, wedssport tc-01 or something else along those lines.
>>27836571do you?
i never understood why bugs have full size tires in the 60s and 70 and the nips put these 4 inch wide tires on their in the 80s. You get any rain and you have zero traction.>>27836560your imaginary race car is sad
>>27830316"Daily" is a big word for how little I actually drive it, but I do luv me Twingo.
>>27836595my imaginary racecar is sitting underneath that car cover waiting for temps to drop below 80*no point in hurting a $15k engine because others want me to race during the hottest part of the season.
>>27836600i drive my race car every dayimagine not using your race car as your commuter
>>27836604i dailyed it like that for 12k miles but my oil changes are almost $200 and $80 doesn’t even last me a week for fuel. plus sphericals don’t like daily use, those are expensive too.
>>27836610rich enough to buy it but not to drive ithuh, that makes sense
>>27836631i do drive it.. to the track, at the track and home from the track.
>>27836633how much is your insurance?
>>27836586No
>>27836645like $190 for full coverage, was $130 before april. >inb4 car is registered and insured in arizona because california doesn’t like vehicles that don’t pass emissions.
>>27836648then why are you asking me where i live.
>>27836673Just wondering if you wanted to have a good time
>>27836692come thru baby
>>27836600take the E85 pill bro, no knock any time of year even on the highest strung motors. racecar is the perfect application for it if rules allow it in your class
>>27836706i’m supposed to be getting tuned on ethanol within the next month or so, my tuner is a very busy guy and i don’t feel like switching to somebody else. car should make anywhere from 420-450 at the wheels once i’m on E which is more than enough for me.
>>27835504Refer to >>27831471
>>27836724based.
>>27835582I like it.
>>27830316You took a picture of me without me noticing
>>27836673Because your neighborhood looks ghetto as fuck like the i.e. you stupid retard.
>>27832288They said "you can't possibly fit 11 trucks in your driveway, well, I'll show you.
>>27830316r8 my 4WD shitbox
Daily barge. Extra comfy buffalo leather. Suprisingly reliable. 2.5L straight 6 autotragic.
>>27838198it’s a good thing E34s are elite, autotragic or not.
>>27838175Pretty gud for a RAV4. Should’ve gotten the V6 though
>>27830316Some diesel econobox that I'm too embarrassed to post
If I'm going into the city centre or it's a small drive I use a JCW Mini, otherwise a 650 (which, since I'm doing more 300mile+ drives at the moment, I may replace for a 7 series as my desire for comfort is winning out).
this little econboxI really like it, acelleration good enough for quick overtakes in the traffic, feels nice in the corner compared to other commuters/econboxes I've driven and I'm a manlet so interior space is not an issuebut I've never driven anything proper quick to have a baseline comparsion
>>27830316Mine is a 2000 corolla, 4AFE stock pristine condition (for real). Everytime a bird shits on it, I'll waste no time cleaning it.
Ask me about the oil leak and gajillion factory recalls
>>27830843Maybe OP actually enjoys wrenching.
>>278303161.9 tdislow but it amuses me that it sounds like a small tractor
>>278387971.9tdi is probably one of the most based engines you can have in this day and age.
>>27838790man, i love wrenching. great way to unwind after a long day of roofing.
>>27838790>>27838879pic of when i ripped the 5sp drivetrain out of my other car when i was replacing it with a 6sp, LSDs & brembos
>>27838881forgot the pic.
>>27838879>>27838884sounds comfy
>>27836596He got some flashy shoes on him, so stylish
>>27834802Berkeley County, SC
>>27838286that gen didnt come with V6
>>27830316This bad motherfucker
>>27838879absolute chad
>>27839137thanks brah
This fuckin' thing, because my MX5 blew a tyre and I still haven't got a shop to fit the replacements.
>>27830316Look at that metal intake. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a carburetor...
>>27838210>30mph limitIn a canyon in fuckall nowhere?wasted.
>>27839250lets see paul allen’s engine bay
saab 900, about 5-6k miles a year
my other car is a '18 MiataWhen I have to finally give this Camry over to mom I am thinking of replacing it with a CR-V or some other soulless crossover.
>>27839270
>>27839290god bless.
>>27830316Can't be arsed to go outside and take a pic but I alternate between a clapped out Mk4 GTI with a few simple mods and a TDI Passat with a few simple mods.
>>27838927Cool. Take me to lunch sometime.
>>27830316Does work truck count as a daily?If not, 2014 Dodge Dart Aero, stock since I'm a poorfagIf so, 2022 International LT
>>27839638you gonna suck him off?
>>27838884
>>27839680Unlikely. I'm monogamous. I just like to eat with company.
>>27838902The wheels were a Marketplace find, I really like how they look on there with the wider than stock tires.
>>27839129based xv10 enjoyer
>>278303161981 300d mercedes
>>27831461NTA but if you plan on using head studs you should really have the bores honed with a deckplate installed. a deckplate simulates the clamping load on the bores with a head installed.
Shittiest of the shitboxes
>>27830316I always get blown out by you car chads and have nothing but respect for you all. I have no idea how cars work, I drive one from A to B and do nothing more with it. I can change a tire and that's it.I'm a medicore academic that reads books all that and exercises when I can, I am not a mans man in the slightest. All of you seem like the pinnicle of useful to me though, good on you all.
>>27839290Thats so clean I love it :3
