Quick question. I recently got a 93 ranger with 179k miles, 5 speed, and 4.0 engine. It's splash trim with stepside bed. Would be putting a supercharger on it because i can't not fuck with things. I also have an 08 tacoma 4cyl with 200k miles. in 100k miles its never gotten new transmission fluid. I need to get rid of one or the other. Which would you sell? Both and get a car?
>>28093795I like your car too, those were great ones
>>28093933Whatever you do keep the Tacoma
>>28093937K ill probably try to flip the ranger then.
got my girl detailed, paint corrected and 5 year ceramic coated last week. I love this car so much.
>>28093795looks boring why didn't you get a b6 s4
>>280939517/10 get some better wheels, preferably multi spoke polished silver
>>28093989I think the look will be drastically better when I lower it and get it aligned. I took a chance on this combo because no one has done it especially on this color of car but I am on the lookout for a better setup always.
Here's a pic the shop took of my car. The water pump decided it was done.
>>28094037nice car. definitely overhated. were these the ones susceptible to IMS bearings?
>>28094048Yeah these had the IMS issue. Mine's been replaced with an LN retrofit but it's about time to replace it again.
>>28094059Love the C4S reflector strip. Why not put that retrofit kit that has its own dedicated oil feed on it? That's advertised to be a permanent fix.

>>28094078Got any more pics of the grand cherokee? I love those cars
>>28093982Because I want the car to work, I've never heard of someone owning one and not having an immense amount of problems.
>>28093862based>>28093951slick, but that other anon is right, those wheels definitely don't fit the car.
>>28094067Yeah I really like the whole rear view of the car.That's what I'll do when I replace this one. Previous owner got the one that needs to be replaced every ~6 years.>>28094078I actually think the C4S looks better wingless desu
>>28094156Non-functional mirrors.
My ride.>>28094059Very cool, fren.
>>28094081Really like the S5, one of the best looking cars to come out of Germany in the past 15 years, though I'll admit, I prefer the slightly older ones that have the 4.2 V8.
>>28093814nice>>28093862nice>>28094037nice>>28094120nice x3>>28094168nice minus the color
>>28094193Haha fair. The funniest thing is that they had a black/neutral colors, but I specifically wanted red because it is my favorite color, so I waited a bit longer for them to find one.
>>28094170>>28093795The V8 is better for sure but don’t sleep on that supercharged V6. It’s one of the smoothest engines I’ve ever driven. >>28094168>>28094037Hmmm
>>28094120Any pics of the orange one? I wanna see =3
>>28094168With the red, it looks like a 360 if you squint your eyes and have a concussion. I like the red, it's better than an NPC color.
>>28094268Yeah. This thing rocks. I've driven most of the modern flagship supercars and nothing production comes close to the amount of fun this car is to drive. I love this little shitbox. >>28094202Jeez, those blue lights are awful>>28094208This is more like it. Nice.
>>28094298Yeah the previous owner put in blue fog lights.I don't mind as they let people know I'm gonna fly by em
>>28094092
>>28094078>give it a wing>that tripwait, is this the blue corvette tranny guy that got arrested?

>>28094356kek, it is. oh im sure you couldnt forget that blue corvette. do you normally keep a pound of pot in that jeep too?
>>28094170My logical brain is much happier that I have the 3.0T because it's arguably better in every way. But the sound of that V8... man......
>>28094387>>28094170get a fucking BMW already
>>28094403
>>28093795poorfag coming through
>>28094342Not gonna lie if i got one i would do the opposite, just use it as a comfy good looking street car... Have people supercharged these (pentastar) ?
I exclusively drive 30+ year old shitboxes, and convince myself they are great to make up for my lack of taste and refinement.
>>28094487Pentastar is a shit engine but they do supercharge them.I'd never buy a pentashit jeep lmao theyre gutless with terrible mpg. That wk2 has the top shelf old man emu kit its probably much more comfortable on the highway than the average short travel suspension sedan.
In my mind its the v8, the turbodiesel, or get a cheaper car.
>>28094486your car looks great though
>>28094076Kek
>>28094581from 5 m away maybe sure. it needs new paint new wheels new wing and a bunch of new seals because the window seals almost all are cracked from age and exposure. wheels will ironically be the hardest part to find because its nigh impossible to find something decent looking in 5x120.65 in yurop.

The ride is a little rough compared to most vehicles. However, it zooms, has great audio(turbo sounds, boxer engine, and muffler, manual(one of the best parts), and the amenities are nice to have too(car play and an above average sound system). Sometimes I turn down my radio just to listen to the car.

>>28094720If you want advice from one poorfag to another, I just traded up. My job isn’t special and I am not rich. When you are just starting out as like I was, keep in mind that you don’t have to pay a car off in full but also consider how much the car will be worth down the line when it finally becomes fully yours. You’re not going to keep it. When I was 18, I used scholarship money to put a shitty 10K down payment on a new car of the year (2018) that was priced around 50K. In the five years that followed, when it finally became fully mine and I paid it off, it only dropped to 20k. Now, I have a good and steady job, but I used that 20K to help me trade up. You don’t have to be rich, anon. Just be thinking ahead anon.

Still using the same old pics but really still looks the same. Engine has been UNfucked. installed a washer and coolant bottle from an FJ40, heater valve was absolutely packed with silt, replaced it with a serviceable brass one from bongland, and now gonna get some 10mm steel fuel line for the impending 4 bbl swap. Still need to get some tyres for the 15 inch police wheels sitting in my room though.>>28094644v8? highway patrol use the v8s here and saying they take off like a bat out of hell would be an understatement>>28094658mmm twongi>>28095280lol every time i see this i can't not think of my summer car, love it
>>28094730theyre only 15x7 so the car wanders alot when turning because its got the stiff ws6 meme suspension. i actually like how they look but unfortunately i need tires with a much smaller sidewall than the 15 inchers. oem 16x8 formula wheels are a no go too because you cant buy 245/50/16 tires in yurop.

>>28097825Oh manI love the 159 looksWhen ever I see one I always have a thought of "shouldve bought a 159 instead of e91"such a pretty thing
>>28098031Whenever I see gay ass wagons and hatchbacks I think "kek shoulda got an E92 or LCI E90 335i."And whenever I see 159s I think "kek shoulda got a GTAm already"
>>28098044I just love clean lines, sweet spot of technology of late 2000s (all the creature comforts, but none of the start-stop, lane assistant or blind spot assistants) and local community. I don't boyrace and I love the local alfa enthusiasts who occasionally do pizza evenings, gets sponsorships and occasional exclusive track days to their events. But if E92 is more your jam, I don't judge. I just wish for unmolested 1750 tbi. You don't NEED anything else. I buy cars for the looks.
>>28098115>I buy cars for the looks.KEK FUCKING RICER
>>28098115Son, i coined USG. I'd NEVER buy an ugly car. But to choose a fwd Alfa over an amazing GTAm is unforgivable

>>28098292factory towing mirrors?
>>28098999I bought a tow mirror on ebay, aimed it towards the back wheel, and now I can park the car's giant fat ass just a little bit easier.I considered aiming it backwards like a normal mirror, but then I'm just going to get my corneas roasted by every dipshit driving an F250 with chinese LED headlights.
>>28099025very nice 88-91. i have a 91 grand marquis, very happy with it. but yeah its a jump going from a more modern car's mirror to those tiny pieces of shit. might do the same thing as u 4 street cred
>>28099032Good luck, old tow mirrors are super expensive for some reason, the one I found has rubber straps and was much cheaper (I guess due to the untrustworthiness of old rubber) but it seems to be holding up so far. Almost whacked it off of one of the poles at taco bell, but so far it's survived my driving. I just wish it had mirrors like my van, those are massive and once I backported some power mirrors onto it they've been perfect. Mostly because they actually stick out past the body, unlike the panther mirrors. I know they're in a bad spot because they had to account for the optional vent windows, but they could have let them stick out further!!
>>28099033yeah i'd like to add vent windows, saw somebody on the forums do it but i just need to find a car in a u-pull-it or something hopefully. since theres no working ac and if i drive with the window down the headliner practically flaps itself to pieces. and there's no overdrive so i need to get the AOD rebuilt. alos putting in an 8 track for teh lulz
>>28098122it's funny because in the 60s most of the really nice burger cars were l6s, most people just wanted a nice looking car to daily

it has bumper gap which makes me mad. I think the PO scraped it a lot and knocked it out of position or something. I bought replacement clips for the bumper and the headlight sides but...taking off this bumper looks like a real pain in the ass and knowing me, I'd make it worse than make it better. Eventually I'll take it apart and see if that fixes it. If not, a new painted bumper is $1400 (fml).
>>28099813Just take it to a bodyshop they shouldn't charge too much just to realign a bumper

Older pic of my alfa 1.9jtd 8v, 250k km. Its been quite neglected when I got it. Had to fix a ton of shit and it still needs work. But its a lot nicer now mechanically and aesthetically. Never buy neglected cars gents, especially when you dont have a garage to work in and tools and money.

>>28094720My cedric has easily been the lowest cost to own car I have had when it comes to maintenance. Parts are common, dirt cheap, and its a relatively simple car. just keep on top of the normal things and any decently modern car should probably just last and last. Did new rotors, pads, and parking shoes for under 50 USD + about an hour of my time plugs, coils, valve cover gaskets all told were about 300, and only changed due to being original. I thought I would regret buying this barge, but its been stellar. Put 3000km on it over the last 5 days.

>>28094732I had an overprotective mother too growing up. She hindered a lot of my growth.I never had sleepovers, I could never be out late, or go to parties & socialize much etc.By the time I was 19, I got sick of it and started going out against her wishes anyway. She hated it, threatened all kinds of stuff, but I eventually realized she was all bark and no bite.She "thought I didn't love her" when I told her off through text one day, saying "I'm staying over and my friends house tonight, I'm tired of you not letting me do things"She came scouring the neighborhood, but couldn't find the right house and went home distraught. After that day, she still fights back against me wanting to do stuff she doesn't agree with, but ultimately respects my independence now, and never punishes me for anything, as I never actually bring any problems to the house, she's just very afraid of the real world, and it affected her parenting.Fast forward to today, I'm glad I left her clutches, because I'm 31, have a good job, my own house, decent cars, & can do stuff and enjoy life, but I still see other males that NEVER LEFT THE NEST mentally, and think about how that could have been me, if I had let mom continue to pin my potential down with her scare mongering. You have to peel away from mom, anon.Do things your own way, take risk, learn, make mistakes, adjust your path, and level-up.

>>28106212Nice color
>>28105251THIS NIGGA HAS COOTIES
>>28094205how reliable is the V8? I guess the rest is average for a VAG.
>>28105371I would say it's white-blue-greenish.
>>28106048>>28106212why are you blurring out your entire images youre fucking ugly, no one wants to find you and molest you
>>28093943I am particular to fords but I second what the other anon said, keep the tacoma

>>28094120more of the trugg?
>>28094658H O T
Its my daily, I've had it for 4 years. I just replaced the fogged up headlights yesterday, and did some interior improvements today so it doesn't look so beat up.Looks like a new car from 20 feet away
>>28106657i've never been a fan of that generation's styling, just looked really weird. they're very reliable at least (from what i've heard).
>>28106711its been good to me. The only breakdown I've had (which was my fault for not knowing the very obvious signs it was about to happen) was when the old and brittle plastic on the factory radiator broke at the upper hose neck, so I lost all of my coolant. I was just down the street from where I work so I just bought a new radiator and changed it in the parking lot after I clocked out.I've put almost 70k miles on it since I bought it. It'll be 5 years in mid december
>>28106540You're just saying that so anons will leave in identifiable information so you can do just that
>>280937951.9 TTiD, dpf deleted
>>28106540Sneed
>>28106540>no one wants to find you and molest youIdk, there is that one corvette guy who raped someone he raced in the 90s who always posts here...
>>28102596I approve
Still have these 3.
My srt8I've had her for 3.5 years and I still absolutely adore this car.
>>28109086Sexo. What year and how is it holding up?
>>28106540Oh fuck off.
>>281091002013 392, only thing that I've had to replace is the oil pressure sensor and the tires, not counting oil changes and rotations.
>>28109111Very nice. Is it high mileage?
>>28105380>>28105366MMI is actually great. You can call who you need with like two button presses, see your media playlist, or get the NAV going to most places provided the map is up to date. The new one is all touch screen and annoying to use and requires too many inputs
>>28109178The MMI software/interface by itself is fine but the hardware and layout design is poor quality and prone to failure, if one module fails then the whole system goes down and refuses to boot instead of just displaying an error message to let you know whats wrong.
>>28109153Only had 7k miles on it when i bought her, sitting around 24k now a days
got some new wheel covers and they are bitchin some of you may never know 1980s luxury like I do but also fuck you chevy for making that damn radiator so hard to get to
Still feels like wearing a nice suit
YAY it's that thread again!pic rel my one and onlyplanning to rebuild the tired engine at 242k this spring. Just need some money and i'm jobless. YAY!
>>28096744Holy based anon. I've been given the privilege of driving a touring diesel version for many miles and it is genuinely one of the best cars for daily use that I can think of.

Had it since summer '22 and I'm still really happy with it. It's the first thing I've ever owned in 21 years of driving that wasn't a sporty manual car, and having a truck has turned out to be really useful, and it's let me go cool places I wouldn't take a low car. I upgraded the suspension to Bilstein 5100s last year and it totally resolved the most common complaint people have about these Rangers, the bouncy ride, and I'm planning on aftermarket wheels over the winter - moving to an area where I need snow tires and I'll just order them on wheels and then swap things around next summer. It's also held its value really well, only lost about 3k in two years according to KBB, so I'm really happy with the purchase.
>>28110592Why are the headlight covers white? If it's intentional then what the fuck, man.
>>28110801They're plastic. They mounts have a habit of breaking so I replaced them. I just haven't painted them yet.
She has served me well, been all over the US for the last 18 years. Outside of regular maintenance the only two issues have been replacing the water pump and the hybrid battery, both around 13 years in. Now the ABS actuator is failing, deciding whether to replace it (~$1,300 for the part, ~$3k for labor if I don't do it myself because it looks like a huge pain in the ass and requires Toyota Techstream software to do the brake bleed afterwards so either way I'll need to take it in) or trade her in for a newer car. Not really sure if it's worth continuing to maintain at 200k miles or move on.
>>281106115100s are GOAT for daily shocks, I've had them in my FJ for 9 years and they're still performing great. Good investment for your trugg.How do you find the engine/power output? I've heard people complain about the turbo lag, especially around the city when you're not really getting on the gas very hard.
>>28110838Figured it was something like that. Coolest car in the thread btw
>>28110992>rotard>coolest carlol nein.
In the last five years I did the oil changes, replaced the brakes (new rotors/pads), all new hoses & belts, all new fluids & filters for everything, new spark plugs, replaced a bad wheel bearing, replaced the engine mounts, did the valve cover gasket, put in a new water pump and temp gauge, cleaned the throttle body, got new tires, and put in a new battery and gas cap. Basically this has been my education in car maintenance, I had never done so much as an air filter change before. Now she's got power steering whine, topping off the fluid makes it go away temporarily but it returns quickly. I don't see a leak anywhere, now I've ordered new O-rings for the high/low side, supposedly that might be the issue. 165k miles, been in four accidents (it was my younger sister's car back in the day), one of which bent the frame so much that the AC condenser is toast and can't be replaced without fixing the frame (not gonna do that). Curious how long I can keep her running. Anticipated future jobs: timing chain, suspension.Thanks for reading my blog
cant fuck with this
>>28110968I think the transmission lags more than the turbo does, and it's really more of a programming issue than an actual performance one - it can shift fast when it wants to, but if you're cruising at light throttle in town and then traffic ahead speeds up it can sometimes take more boot than it feels like it ought to before the transmission kicks down and you start going anywhere. Straight up power output is great though, especially in terms of low-end torque. I've towed through hills with it and even with a 5klb trailer on the back it'll cruise up pretty steep grades at 65 doing only 2,500RPM or so. It's pretty quick unladen too and I'm thinking about getting a tune to make it even faster, Ford has a very conservative flash that guys on the forums have run for 50k+ miles without trouble, and even that is +45HP +60TQ which should make it a beast.
