[torpid cairn]

and i apologize for fostering it

[opaque flame]

Not you man, havnt had that issue in here before

[torpid cairn]

thanks. If this flares up again, either ping me or ping the discord mods role and tell them to see logs

[opaque flame]

👍👍

[barren sierra]

@pearl oxide I’m polishing my car today :3

she’s so babygirl

@torpid cairn

[opaque flame]

Least insane honda owner

But I really recommend you do a good headlight scrub

Cleaning all that fogging really makes the car look a lot fresher

[torpid cairn]

Pwetty

[opaque flame]

My cars still defected so it's being neglected

Poor thing

[barren sierra]

I have some

it looks sm better :3

[pearl oxide]

we love the honda accord

honda accord haters must leave

[barren sierra]

who hates accords

[pearl oxide]

no one sensible

[barren sierra]

real

[opaque flame]

Me

Besides accord euro

Cl9 specifically

[barren sierra]

why

💀

[opaque flame]

Why don't I like accords or why do I like the cl9?

[barren sierra]

why don’t you like accords

[opaque flame]

I dont actually hate accords, theyre a decent handling car and the k24 models have potential, but generally they are inferior to the prelude and integra and I don't see much reason to get one IF you want it for sporting. Good daily though

Good on fuel and very reliable

The cl9 however is actually a good handling car with the best k series available and can be made into quite a little track rat or vip spec if you want

But a k or b swapped integra & prelude are the best if you want a really good honda rat

[twilit dawn]

7th Gen accord

My dad had one back in the day

Good cars too lol

[twilit dawn]

K24 got good potential, but the v6 ones make unassuming little cars

For 2006 and 2007 they had a v6+6 speed in the sedan form

[opaque flame]

6 speed my beloved

[twilit dawn]

Kinda like the tl of the time except the TL manual had lsd

[opaque flame]

Convinced 5 speed fans are just bad drivers ngl

And can't shift

[twilit dawn]

Tbh I'd take a 5 speed manual over a 5 speed auto any day

[opaque flame]

True

I'm not into autos at all, but you gotta accept them for most new cool cars

[twilit dawn]

Ngl I think I'm just bolt ons away from keeping up to challenger RTs

[opaque flame]

My dream euro is a quadrifoglio which is only in auto now

[opaque flame]

🤯

[twilit dawn]

And first car unfortunately

[opaque flame]

What engine you got?

[twilit dawn]

J32a3 in my tl

[opaque flame]

Nobody should ever mod their first car unless its genuinely cool

See too many people tuning up their SUVs and lancers 💀

[twilit dawn]

I mean it's an Acura TL soo id say it's cool

[opaque flame]

Honestly I don't really know what that is, not familiar with acura

[twilit dawn]

Looks sick as like a vip kinda build

[opaque flame]

Send a pic?

[opaque flame]

Oh is that basically a euro?

[twilit dawn]

Kinda?

But these things are already good for about 6.7 0-60

[opaque flame]

Euro without the k

[twilit dawn]

Pretty much yea

[opaque flame]

Not too shabby

Thats about my cels 0 to 100

I'm planning on cutting that way down soon though

[twilit dawn]

270hp (258hp after 2006 cause readout change)

[opaque flame]

A performance ecu can cut it back to about 6 seconds flat

[twilit dawn]

I just say 270 cause that's how all my buddy's cars are measured

[opaque flame]

How much does it weigh 💀

[twilit dawn]

Uhhh

[twilit dawn]

About 3500 lbs 💀

[opaque flame]

Hm okay

Handle well enough?

Could make a decent vip build if a lot of euro vip parts are compatible

[twilit dawn]

But bolt ons is probably good for somewhere around 20-30whp

[twilit dawn]

For stock I'd say so

Although shit ass tires on it

[opaque flame]

The hardest part is the aesthetics with some of those hondas

[twilit dawn]

Needs some stiffer coilovers, sway bars, etc

[opaque flame]

Bro I got semi slicks, orgasmic ngl

[twilit dawn]

I got Fucking Walmart tires 💀

[barren sierra]

yes :3

[twilit dawn]

That's what I got it with

I wanna get some summer tires for it

[barren sierra]

I have snow tires in my trunk

and regular tires

[opaque flame]

Get an engine and boot strut bar with coilovers first

Tyres actually before any of that

[twilit dawn]

I don't have to worry about snow tires because it never snows here

[opaque flame]

Lower it on some 17inch rims and give it a respray black or something and you'd have a nice lil build coming along

I'm in australia

What the fuck is snow

[twilit dawn]

Already has 17inch rims

[barren sierra]

lol it snows a lot here

[opaque flame]

Some NICE 17inch rims

[twilit dawn]

My point exactly

[barren sierra]

you start to get ice in the mornings in late October so

[twilit dawn]

Call me biased but te37s

[opaque flame]

I have legit never seen snow in my life

[opaque flame]

Theyre good wheels but waaaay overplayed imo

[twilit dawn]

I saw it like twice

[opaque flame]

Although I like my more quirky wheels, big trispoke fan

[twilit dawn]

Yea, but they also go well with a lot of cars

[pearl oxide]

i saw some ford ranger chrome three spokes that had my bolt pattern on fb marketplace

[twilit dawn]

Trispoke wouldn't work on mine lmao

[opaque flame]

Oh yea, but I think thats the problem, they're a cheat code and prevent original builds

No need to think of a really nice set if you can just te37 the fucker and call it a day

[twilit dawn]

It's not that I want it original perse? But just to make it stick out from a bone stock car

[pearl oxide]

i have no clue what wheels i want for my car

[opaque flame]

Honestly, works

[opaque flame]

You have the yata was it?

[pearl oxide]

yeah

it’s hard to find wheels with the right offset that actually look good

[opaque flame]

Hrmrm, what about a star shaped 5 spoke like regas (not expecting you to be able to afford actual regas but similar looking)

Oz futura wheels are like that

And oz wheels are good

[pearl oxide]

i’m not really a fan of those

[opaque flame]

Shame

[twilit dawn]

I think the Miata looks good with most wheels tbf

[opaque flame]

Super advans raaaaaah (no clue how they'd look on a yata but I fuckin love them)

[twilit dawn]

300zx :3

Speaking of z that reminds me

[opaque flame]

My mate has 2 now

I love them

But honestly they're lowkey boats

[twilit dawn]

There's someone down my street that has a 280zx that's just been sitting for as long as I can remember, I need to see if I can buy it off him as a project car

[opaque flame]

Definitely a zx too and not a 280z?

[twilit dawn]

Most ZX's are

[opaque flame]

Cause that's an awesome cop if so

[twilit dawn]

It's def a zx

I can tell by taillights

[opaque flame]

Yea he's noticeably faster than me on straight but the distance I put on him in corners is actually hilarious

Like entire bus lengths

[opaque flame]

Nah I mean that the 280zx and 280z are different

[twilit dawn]

That's why I nees better tires and suspension lmao

[opaque flame]

Zx notifies as the luxury spec

Power windows and stuff

[twilit dawn]

Ok lemme put it this way

Here in America

You had the 240z

Then the 260z

Then the 280z

[pearl oxide]

i love 3 spokes 😻😻

[twilit dawn]

Those are the s30 chassis

[opaque flame]

YES

Trispoke supremacy

[twilit dawn]

The 280zx is the s130 chassis

[pearl oxide]

found these ranger stockies

they’re the right bolt pattern

[opaque flame]

They'd go hard on a lux build

[twilit dawn]

Wow lol

[opaque flame]

Bippu

Slammed cefiro

[pearl oxide]

would’ve looked fire on my audi before it killed itself

[twilit dawn]

Either way it's an L28 engine

[opaque flame]

Uh, kerosene moment?

[twilit dawn]

1.8t moment I think

[opaque flame]

Well then

Good cop regardless

I super want the yellow s15 type r rotting away down my street but he refuses to sell

Just sits there under the Australian sun (muuuch worse than the normal summer sun you'd be used to for uv exposure)

Poor thing

[twilit dawn]

If he/she even wants to sell it

Idrk tbf

I do know however

L28 turbo if so

Not actually a turbo model but I'd def turbo it

[opaque flame]

Wait till night

Get the jacks out

Just fuckin go to town

[pearl oxide]

1.8t moment indeed

[opaque flame]

Wtf

Fix your colour

[twilit dawn]

very similar look ngl

[pearl oxide]

just went to a lucid dealership

[pearl oxide]

then saw this thing

[ocean grail]

that looks clean but for the price tag ill rather get a gt4rs tbh

220k for a supra is just too much honestly 😭

[ocean grail]

i love watching the au v8 supercar series its just pure power and looks and sounds fucking amazing

plus the tracks they race at are fucking sick

especially the bathurst 1k

[torpid cairn]

Lucid has dealerships?

Where in the fuck

[ocean grail]

80k for a lucid car is crazy

[pearl oxide]

Yeah they have one in Seattle

[pearl oxide]

Its about what you're paying for nice cars these days

[ocean grail]

the lucid interior looks like it was stripped out of a hyundai palisade

[torpid cairn]

Nah, the airs are nice

[ocean grail]

the airs look like all the chinese evs i saw in shanghai 😭

like a BYD

when i was there in ccp land i also learned byd stood for build your dreams

[pearl oxide]

give me a lexus over any evs

[ocean grail]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/853668374001352744/1152436215606427668/IMG_20230916_094933_030.webp?width=380&height=676

[pearl oxide]

lexus is peak luxury car company

[ocean grail]

my glb

[pearl oxide]

slick

[ocean grail]

i got it remapped and unlocked an extra 60hp

[pearl oxide]

nice

[ocean grail]

german cars when they get extra hp through an email

[pearl oxide]

i want to get cams and itbs for my miata

then turbo or supercharge later

[pearl oxide]

my friends 335i

[ocean grail]

im getting a bigger turbo down the line

[pearl oxide]

he’s gonna big turbo soon

[ocean grail]

rn it makes around 280/90hp

with a turbo i can reach around 350-400

[pearl oxide]

the stock twins are blown and it makes almost 400

[ocean grail]

i have a 2 litre i4

[pearl oxide]

i love small displacement turbo engines

[ocean grail]

so reaching 350 is gonna be a difficult task but it can handle it

rn i do 0-100 in 6s exactly

[pearl oxide]

Damn that's quick for an SUV

[ocean grail]

it weighs around 1500kgs

and has a dct which is so good at shifting at high speeds

but jolts around at low speeds

[pearl oxide]

That's really good

My miata does 6.5 at 1133 k g

170 hp

[ocean grail]

i wish i couldve gotten a X1 35i tho 😭

so much more potential with that

but they dont sell the 35i here only 18i

[pearl oxide]

Your Mercedes is cooler

[ocean grail]

base my glb250 has 221 hp

[pearl oxide]

BMW is a regular auto too

Not a Dct

[ocean grail]

the bmw suv's just look way better imo

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a44359795/2024-bmw-x1-m35i-specs/

this one

it has a 7speed dct

[pearl oxide]

Oh

[ocean grail]

and around the same price for my glb

i paid around 50k for my glb while the x1 35i is around 51k

rear end looks cool asf imo

[pearl oxide]

At least yours is probably more reliable

[ocean grail]

not with the retune 😭

[ocean grail]

the bmw rear ends wins honestly just looks way more aggresive

[pearl oxide]

I didn't realize the BMW was a 4 cylinder

[ocean grail]

what engine did u think it was?

[pearl oxide]

twin turbo inline 6

[ocean grail]

nahh its a 2l i4

[pearl oxide]

usually 35i means 3l twin turbo with bmws

[ocean grail]

35i is downgraded now

[pearl oxide]

i’d take the merc honestly

bruh

[ocean grail]

3l twin turbo is 40i

[pearl oxide]

lexus is doing the same shit with their naming

[ocean grail]

35i is just a better i4

i miss when mercedes 300 series had actual v6's 😭

like the w204 300

[pearl oxide]

i want a c class 4 cyl turbo

i feel like that would be cool

[ocean grail]

i used to have a c300 4matic

[pearl oxide]

my friend wants to get a lexus is200t after he sells his 335i

[ocean grail]

but it was 2017 and the warranty ran out lmao

[ocean grail]

did a chrome delete and it was cool asf

well it was my moms car but my glb is my own car

[pearl oxide]

i used to have a b5 audi a4 with the 1.8t

super fun but soooo slow

even tuned

[ocean grail]

i thought the 1.8 vw engines were good?

[pearl oxide]

they can be with a big turbo and shit toms of supporting mods

[ocean grail]

like ive seen 1.8 vw engines produce like 300hp with a retune

+turbo

[pearl oxide]

mine blew up before i could big turbo it

[ocean grail]

😭

[pearl oxide]

85k miles

[ocean grail]

vw 1.8 and 2.0 have so much potential

[pearl oxide]

they do

i wanted to 1.9tdi swap it

[ocean grail]

i really want to get a new GTI but here they cost like 70k usd

[pearl oxide]

but i needed a running car so i sold it

[pearl oxide]

i’m not a big fan of the gti

i have more fun in rwd cars

my grandma might give me her newbeetle so i can make it a racecar

it’s already got a 5 speed manual

[ocean grail]

rwd cars are fun but awd is the way to go

and fwd is if u wanna die lmao

i had so much fun drifting my c class

[pearl oxide]

i don’t like the front heavy feeling and cars have

awd*

not exited for snow season in my miata though

i wish i could’ve fixed my audi

[ocean grail]

its 24/7 summer here

so it doesnt really matter

[pearl oxide]

i wish

[opaque flame]

Hell yea

[ocean grail]

u watch v8 supercars?

[ocean grail]

its fun except for the fact that the pollution literaly looks like la in the 70s/80s

[pearl oxide]

it is what it is

[opaque flame]

Sometimes, much better than nascar lol

Not that anybody watches nascar at all here in aus anyway

[gray storm]

i like the wrap on this fiesta

[ripe heron]

wooow

new fiesta looks sexy

@torpid cairn

[torpid cairn]

yep, i think the supervans have always been about as fast as it's F1 car of the time

[iron basalt]

the super van had an V8 F1 motor in it i believe

modern F1 cars use V6 cause "emissions"

fucking cow shit mushroom growing hippies

[torpid cairn]

*turbocharged v6

[iron basalt]

yeah

super can is OP when you get some slicks

@torpid cairnover powered

[torpid cairn]

well then im corrected, the F1 cars of the time would probably be faster

[iron basalt]

yeah nvm

they used V12 motors

[torpid cairn]

so only as of 2022 would it be faster than an f1 car

[iron basalt]

man shit was good back then

[torpid cairn]

hey, it still is

[iron basalt]

nah

now you have to get a damn car from the 80s due to emmisions

well sorta

[marble pagoda]

The original super van

[iron basalt]

bruh

[iron basalt]

@torpid cairn

[marble pagoda]

AMG stuck a NA 503 horsepower V8 into a r350 and called it the r63 amg

I think only 200 of them were made

Luckily enough my dad worked for mercedes at the time and i got to see one when i was young

I would love to see one now though cause i didnt appreaciate it when i was younger

[iron basalt]

thats not even a van

[pearl oxide]

[pearl oxide]

I can tell

[marble pagoda]

Still in between the lines 💀

[torpid cairn]

@pearl oxide @iron basalt @opaque flame @ripe heron @twilit dawn @exotic hill id like to reserve the slot for best spot of the week

I got to ride in a ford mustang dark horse

[opaque flame]

I got to see a drunk drivers special edition "upside down" amg

Very rare

[torpid cairn]

In its natural habitat!

[opaque flame]

But nah that's sick as hell, how was it?

[torpid cairn]

As someone who grew up in mustangs, glorious

I can’t tell you how much I missed the rumble

[twilit dawn]

Nicee, we had a few of the regular 5.0 24 mustangs arrive at the dealership I work at, but no dark horses yet

[opaque flame]

Do the dark horses have coyotes?

[twilit dawn]

We have raptor r's tho

[twilit dawn]

Pretty sure

[torpid cairn]

Yeah, modified coyote that makes about 500hp IIRC

[opaque flame]

Nice, the coyotes sound so good

[torpid cairn]

Yeah, funnily enough it was the first time I saw S650s

On the way home I saw one out and about too

[twilit dawn]

Mfw 100hp per liter in a muscle car

[torpid cairn]

Could be more :v

[pearl oxide]

¡ like the new odes

[iron basalt]

i prefer a RTR

[pearl oxide]

ones

[torpid cairn]

There isn’t one yet

[twilit dawn]

Yea but this a naturally aspirated car on that

[torpid cairn]

Hennessy did get their hands on one tho

[marble pagoda]

So fucking sick

[torpid cairn]

That’s true

[marble pagoda]

Next up is the GTD

[pearl oxide]

some random honda i saw

[torpid cairn]

I’d die

[torpid cairn]

I’d just pass away if I saw a gtd

[torpid cairn]

Ooooooo

I love the color

[iron basalt]

also my uncles got a 65 mustang

[opaque flame]

I'm just excited to see some more visually different stangs here in aus cause everyone has the 2016 GT it seems, and no one does anything interesting visually to them

[twilit dawn]

If I ever see a GTD at work I'm asking the owner for a ride

[opaque flame]

Especially bad since we didn't get any of the special editions

[marble pagoda]

Same but with a zonda or utopia

[torpid cairn]

If you ever see a GTD at work, fucking call me

[marble pagoda]

Same bro

[torpid cairn]

EXACTLY

[iron basalt]

also he built a Shelby Daytona from the ground up

[torpid cairn]

The S550 was done to death, and nobody did anything with it

[torpid cairn]

…ok buddy

[opaque flame]

Utopia cool asl but I'd much rather own a zonda

[iron basalt]

man fuck off ill fucking show you pictures next time i go

[opaque flame]

😶

[marble pagoda]

Like we'd ever own a pagani 💀😂

[torpid cairn]

Huayra for me

[opaque flame]

One can dream man

[torpid cairn]

It’s the definition of a childhood poster car

[torpid cairn]

…you weren’t missing much special edition wise

[opaque flame]

I never had posters my but childhood "poster" car was the viper acr

[torpid cairn]

At a certain point it feels like I’ve seen every special edition s550 under the sun

[torpid cairn]

Oooooooo shinyyyy

[twilit dawn]

Coolest car I've road in so far is a limited edition mustang 50th anniversary edition, there were like 1964 made lol

[torpid cairn]

Damn

[twilit dawn]

Rode*

[torpid cairn]

Dark horse has to be the coolest for me so far

[pearl oxide]

apparently my grandpa knows someone who’s friends with the pagani family???

[iron basalt]

cique how ever you spell it would be a bad ass car to see

[opaque flame]

We have like no new stangs between 2015 and 1970 at all, see a new edge like once a year maybe

[pearl oxide]

[iron basalt]

[pearl oxide]

[twilit dawn]

I've got classmates that drive mustangs lol

[iron basalt]

please speak of them

[twilit dawn]

2 have foxbody's and one has a s550

[opaque flame]

Yea nah not here lol, we just drive good ol falcons and commies, which in some cases are worse

[torpid cairn]

Ahh

[opaque flame]

Once saw a learner driver in a Chrysler srt and I had to stay the fuck away from that death trap

[torpid cairn]

To be fair a lot of the limited editions are slightly different variations of the base model

[torpid cairn]

Insurance rates on wheels

“You hit a what?”

[opaque flame]

Mfw a brand new driver has a 1700kg rwd car with a hemi v8

[twilit dawn]

Speaking of classmates, one of my classmates was talking smack that his civic sport was faster than my TL, proceeded to smoke his ass lmao

[torpid cairn]

I’d be scared to death, both driving near and being the driver

[torpid cairn]

Deserved lol

[opaque flame]

Theyre not that expensive here

Like 40k

Aud

[torpid cairn]

Still

[opaque flame]

Civic sport is the biggest scam, the sport trim is dogshit

[twilit dawn]

Boat frfr

[opaque flame]

Like hilariously slow

[twilit dawn]

I can actually keep up to a charger rt surprisingly

From a dog tho I ain't got a chance

[iron basalt]

id do anything to build Ken Blocks mustang

[twilit dawn]

Dig

[marble pagoda]

My brother rode in a sls roadster when he was younger

[twilit dawn]

The civic sport is basically the OEM ricer civic

Minus fart can exhaust

[opaque flame]

No one rices them here thank god, its legit all lancers and fuckin corollas for the ricers

[twilit dawn]

I take that back my buddies 1953 Chevy c3100 truck lol

[twilit dawn]

Ngl I kinda forget regular lancers exists

You rarely see them here

Never seen a riced Corolla

[marble pagoda]

My sister owns one 😭

[opaque flame]

Bro SO many people rice lancers and do horrendous shit to then

Straight pipe, crackle pop tune

And they argue it's sooo similar to evos as if the only thing the cars share is like a single fender panel

[twilit dawn]

Ngl I feel like the kinda shit i wanna do to my car is on the verge of ricer but it's still would be nice

[iron basalt]

I own a 2002 Acura Integra R

[marble pagoda]

Ricers when they find out they have different engines

[twilit dawn]

Acura gang

[iron basalt]

damn keyboard it keeps making me react

[twilit dawn]

2006 Acura TL here

[opaque flame]

And drivelines, and suspension, and transmission, and ecu...

[iron basalt]

[opaque flame]

I own a celica 🤙

[twilit dawn]

[opaque flame]

My mates second 300zx is rotting in my backyard

[torpid cairn]

I own a || hot wheels car||

[twilit dawn]

I'm ngl you legit have one of the coolest 7th Gen Celica I've seen

[opaque flame]

😳 cheers bro

[iron basalt]

imagine building a Twin-Mill or a Bone Shaker

[marble pagoda]

I saw an evo 6.5 tommi makinen at this car show i went to

[torpid cairn]

TRUE

[marble pagoda]

Wish i took a photo of it

[twilit dawn]

[opaque flame]

TMEs are wicked for sure

[iron basalt]

if you could build any car what would it be

[opaque flame]

Shit, give me some kind of restriction here

[iron basalt]

what country

[opaque flame]

I'm australian

[iron basalt]

you seem like a UTE kinda guy

[opaque flame]

I fuck with utes

[marble pagoda]

I love a good maloo

[iron basalt]

what body would you chose

[opaque flame]

Wdym body?

My favourite ute is the hsv r8 maloo

[iron basalt]

appearance

[iron basalt]

i mean appearance

[opaque flame]

My favourite looking ute is also the maloo

[iron basalt]

like how an el camino is a truck style body but car

[iron basalt]

what engine

[opaque flame]

Exactly like this one

[opaque flame]

They got LS

[iron basalt]

no what engine would you chose

[opaque flame]

Ls9 out of the hsv gts

[iron basalt]

like youre building it from the ground up cant use the factory motor

[opaque flame]

If not LS then viper v10 would be hilarious in the maloo

Also incredibly dangerous

[iron basalt]

id kill to see that as a 4 door

[twilit dawn]

Got one even better, twin turbo viper v10 engine 🤤

[opaque flame]

Only 4 doors we have are old Holden crewmans

[twilit dawn]

Not so much for hp but the fuckin sound on them tho

[iron basalt]

8.0L or the 8.4L varrient

[twilit dawn]

Ngl looks like a station wagon, tha has a bed instead of a wagon

[marble pagoda]

How come chevy sniped holden? Not enough revenue??

[twilit dawn]

Either lmao

[twilit dawn]

Possibly

[marble pagoda]

So sad

I would love to see a 2024 commedore

[opaque flame]

One of the craziest swaps that haunts on my dreams is a giulia quadrifoglio with a ferrarri 458 engine

[opaque flame]

There is one, but its owned by some Chinese company and is absolute dogshit now

[iron basalt]

its like how GMC took over hummer

[opaque flame]

We ignore the modern commies

[iron basalt]

god damn eletric car

[torpid cairn]

Oh

Speaking of electric cars

[iron basalt]

if im gonna buy a car i want the fucking right to burn as much gas/diesel as a damn please

[torpid cairn]

Before the dark horse we went to test a model s

[iron basalt]

ew

[torpid cairn]

I found it fun

I wouldn’t daily one, but it was a new experience

[iron basalt]

They are fun but imagine if it catches fire
aerosolized sulfuric acid melting you from the inside out

[marble pagoda]

Have you guys seen the v8 swapped tesla??

[iron basalt]

yup

badass

[torpid cairn]

They’re funny

[torpid cairn]

Eh

As if there’s not an inherent risk with ICE cars

[opaque flame]

As much as I don't like tesla, one thing they do well is designing electric cars where a lot of other brands flounder and fail, not all tho cause the gullwing suv is genuinly ugly as fuck

[opaque flame]

There is, but its not as dangerous to the driver

Easier to put out

[torpid cairn]

Yeah

[opaque flame]

You cant put a battery fire out

[torpid cairn]

My main point is there’s always a risk of something going fatally wrong, electric or ICE

just in different ways

[marble pagoda]

I think rivian does it better

Imo

[torpid cairn]

They do

[opaque flame]

Yea course, and ICE is more likely to blow up too

[iron basalt]

either way you more then likley wont be breathing in acid feeling your lungs turn to jelly as you gasp for air thinking either about the pain or 80k for a death machine

[opaque flame]

Just easier to handle

[torpid cairn]

I mean if you wanna be a bitch, the car runs by blowing up

[opaque flame]

Badass

[torpid cairn]

80k for a death machine

As if the majority of older cars can’t be considered death traps too

I don’t like entertaining elitist bullshit, especially in here

[iron basalt]

well thats good for you

[iron basalt]

youre the one who tried to claim their car was superior

[torpid cairn]

When did I say that?

[iron basalt]

"reserve the slot for best spot"

[torpid cairn]

As in the best car seen this week

Not as in ICE cars are better dude

[iron basalt]

theres plenty of better eletric cars

volkswagen ID.4

IDR

not ID.4

better then gas motors

atleast

[torpid cairn]

1. That’s subjective
2. I don’t give a flying fuck about if electric cars are better or worse. The entire spot thing is just having fun noticing cool cars that we see. It’s not a meta commentary on one being better than the other
3. There’s literally an SF90 in pins, a hybrid car.

[iron basalt]

ok and?

[torpid cairn]

?

Ok and what

[iron basalt]

@opaque flamewhat do you thing of sweedish cars

[opaque flame]

Theyre good enough, no bad thoughts

Volvo has kind of turned fully electric suv now though for market appeal so eh

[iron basalt]

what do you think about the iron knight

[opaque flame]

Shame cause volvo had some nice sporty cars in its day

I got no fucking clue what that is

[iron basalt]

@opaque flame

[opaque flame]

Not a big truck guy

[iron basalt]

0-60 in 4.6 seconds

170MPH

[iron basalt]

its a good truck

[iron basalt]

4,5 tonnes also has 2400 hp

[torpid cairn]

love me a good laferrari

[marble pagoda]

[opaque flame]

Lol, wa is the best place in aus for cars

Slightly better modification laws than the rest of the country, P platers have no car restrictions

Warmer weather, less rust

[patent hornet]

Imagine having a damned XR6 T on your Ps legally

[patent hornet]

[patent hornet]

true

[opaque flame]

I've seen fucking aventadors on Ps

[patent hornet]

My ZH

[patent hornet]

[opaque flame]

I would do unholy things for an XB

[patent hornet]

A mad Max interceptor converted xb is my dream

[patent hornet]

@opaque flame are you Ps or Ls

Blue and gold

[patent hornet]

[opaque flame]

Ba raaaaaah

I'd take an XB or XA, super pursuit, or fpv gt6

Only Ford aus cars I'd want

More of a HSV guy

I'd take an AU as a bush basher too

[patent hornet]

I m wrecking my AU

sad, but its not worth doing up

[opaque flame]

The dream is for an auto au in silver, welded diff, bald tyres, straight pipe, paint fade, shattered windows, roo bar and massive subwoofer

[patent hornet]

[opaque flame]

Drove alongside a commie with the plates ZINGABOX

little gravel parking lot drift

i always do one when i leave

[torpid cairn]

(i lost the replay)

[torpid cairn]

i'd like to redeem my "I told you so" ticket

[solemn harness]

howdy

[opaque flame]

hola

[opaque flame]

I also got a few pics of me rocking my "You can go to hell, im going to Toyotathon" shirt with the sillycar

as a pisstake I kind of want to convert an old celica dragon badge into a chain necklace

since I have a blue one spare

[torpid cairn]

are you able to drive it again?

[opaque flame]

still defected, but since ive shown im trying to get it road worthy ive got a 2 week extension on its driving period

[torpid cairn]

🙏

[opaque flame]

You can go to HELL

[frigid cosmos]

i can imagine how beautiful that drift was

@torpid cairn idk why but i just woke up but i had a dream about my handbrake snapping off in my car

it was so vivid

weird dream

[twilit dawn]

Man I roasted the fuck out of my tires last night

Probably woke up the whole neighborhood in the process

[marble pagoda]

Did u check the treads?

[iron basalt]

i mean prob not if its a daily driver theres prob some really good upgrades they can add to it

[opaque flame]

what is blud waffling about

[iron basalt]

such as an LSD stiffer suspension
some weight reduction like taking seats out
shocks
tires
rollcage or something to stiffen the chassis
also depends if its amanuall or not

[opaque flame]

who are you responding to

[iron basalt]

talking about if that 370 can preform a good drift

[opaque flame]

that was on assetto corsa

[iron basalt]

damn

never hear of that before

[opaque flame]

its a game

[iron basalt]

well maybe i was wrong

[opaque flame]

also if its this post your talking about thats a GT86 not a 370z

[iron basalt]

from the front it looked simular

[opaque flame]

it has a widebody

[iron basalt]

JDM?

[opaque flame]

do you know what JDM means?

No car sold outside of japan is jdm

jdm refers to cars sold in the japanese market

an audi could be JDM

[iron basalt]

japanese domesticated market right?

[opaque flame]

a GT86 is a japanese car yea

but not necessarily JDM

its a toyota/subaru joint venture car, designed and sold by both companies

[iron basalt]

wait so if i were to buy a like a 2 stroke tuk tuk that would mean it was a JDM car if i bought it from a japanese market?

[opaque flame]

yes

[iron basalt]

damn

[opaque flame]

If I buy a new subaru WRX here in australia from a dealer, thats an AUDM car

[iron basalt]

may the power of jdm give the power to drift a 3 wheeler

[iron basalt]

id kill to own a 99 skyline

[opaque flame]

an R34

im guessing you live somewhere they werent locally sold?

[iron basalt]

nopee theyre illegal

until like 2024 or 2025

its not even the fact that theyre fast af cause theyre moderately fast out the factory but i see it as a good daily driver

[opaque flame]

they are not

good daily drivers

a 4 door GT-ST maybe, but they arent super reliable and are hard to repair and source parts for

especially japanese imported ones which have big rust issues

[iron basalt]

ah

wait stupid question but has anyone 2JZ swapped a skyline before?
or is that possible

dude to the skyline being a v configuration vs a inline

[opaque flame]

yes they have, but its a pointless swap

the RB engine is just as capable as the 2J, however less reliable

if I were you id broaden my horizons on cars, beyond the "fast and furious" classics

theres a lot out there besides 2jzs and skylines

[iron basalt]

its not just fast an furious just the way the car is and how modifyable it is all they so for F&F and add a turbo with a bypass vaulve to create that whoosh sound/flutter

[opaque flame]

If you have to ask if you can swap a 2j into a skyline, you arent aware of how moddifiable they actually are

[iron basalt]

im still pissed about them using a fucking chevy motor in a dodge god damn cheap fucks

[opaque flame]

skylines are expensive, very expensive

and rust easily

[iron basalt]

im gonna pull an andrew tate on your ass and mention the bugatti

lmao

[opaque flame]

what?

[iron basalt]

40k for tires

or is that oil change

[opaque flame]

yea but bugattis are for millionaires

skylines arent

unless your in the market for an R34 Z-Tune

[iron basalt]

nah bugattis are for people who wanna give off a loud ass middle finger to anyone who hopes to be considered upper class one day

[opaque flame]

not really

buggattis are fairly overrated anyway

[iron basalt]

true

[opaque flame]

they have a good top speed and thats all

[iron basalt]

v8 could beat that fucker any day in a straight

[opaque flame]

middling track performance for the price and not the best acceleration in class

[opaque flame]

what v8

unless this is an LS9 tuned to hell and back its not beating the w16

[iron basalt]

a car Mopar released in 2018

well engine

[opaque flame]

v8s have existed long before 2018

[iron basalt]

you asked what v8 so i answered

[opaque flame]

a v8 is an engine configuration, its the shape of an engine, not an engine itself

there are many v8s

LS series, coyote, 3uz to name just 3

[iron basalt]

and i specified mopar

[opaque flame]

that doesnt specify much

mopar is just chrysler

which has many v8 engines

I assume you mean the dodge demon?

[iron basalt]

bruh nah

even better

[iron basalt]

2.3 seconds depending if you use lcs

[opaque flame]

you just said you werent talking abouit the demon

[iron basalt]

the one im talking about goes 0-60 in 1.66 seconds

[iron basalt]

^^^

[opaque flame]

that is the demon

[iron basalt]

no its not

[opaque flame]

https://tenor.com/view/blinking-eyes-white-guy-blinking-meme-what-huh-gif-26334322

[iron basalt]

it was a stand alone engine

[opaque flame]

an engine doesnt move without a car

[iron basalt]

thats the beauty in it

put it in whatever the fuck ya want

off road

[opaque flame]

thats not how it works

[iron basalt]

drag car

[opaque flame]

[iron basalt]

im talking about its uses

[opaque flame]

its uses is that the engine is used in the dodge demon 170

additionally

the 1.66 second 0 to 100 sprint isnt exactly true

not on normal roads anyway

1.66 was achieved with drag tyres on a drag strip

it wont be achieved with road legal tyres on a normal road

[iron basalt]

i thought you were talking about the 2018 demon that used a 376

[opaque flame]

no

[iron basalt]

i didnt even know they came out with one in 23

damn

i was talking about a 426 from 2018

bugattis are too damn heavy even with the amout of air those turbos shoot in to that motor

takes to long to get it off the line to give them time to spool up by the time you finish that quarter mile

half mile maybe

[opaque flame]

a chiron does a quarter mile in 9.9 seconds

[iron basalt]

but yeah im talking about a motor from 18 not 23

[opaque flame]

no, because the 1.66 capable HEMI engine you are talking about is a new one

its not the previous block engine

[iron basalt]

no im not

they realsesd a motor in 2018 called the hellephant

it was a 426 hemi
the dodge demon used a 376 hemi

the 426 is a motor which they ship to your house thats meant for project cars

2018 varrient is atleast

[opaque flame]

the term is crate engine

[iron basalt]

yeah ik but everytime i hear crate i think of like a 350 crate motor

[opaque flame]

crate motors are any individually sold engines

[iron basalt]

damn so did they used the 350 in any production cars?

im not super framiliar with chevy

[opaque flame]

I cant say, my experience isnt with american cars

I know japanese and australian, and to an extent euro

[iron basalt]

hellephant did it in 9.2 btw

engine size doesnt really matter if the person who builds it knows what theyre doing
the bugatti is kind of a gimick car in my opinion other then the fact it has a really luxorious interior

i mean look at the mclaren senna thats a amazing car thats V8 powered and very luxorious as well as handles like a beast
