[opaque flame]

engine size has never really mattered

most ferraris are v8s

[iron basalt]

i mean even a little honda I4

easily exeeds the 1000hp threshold

[opaque flame]

a k24 can if built right yes, but a similarly built well v8/v10 will always exceed it

[iron basalt]

not nessicarily

gotta be able to withstand the strain

v10s can be really shitty if not constructed right same with any engine

[opaque flame]

what

that goes for any engine

[iron basalt]

ik i just said that

[pearl oxide]

big rain drift

[pearl oxide]

ah true

i started after the apex

[pearl oxide]

uhhh

it’s a miata

[pearl oxide]

ohhh i thought you meant turbo 😭

29

it’s what the manual says and i only slide it when it rains and im feeling mischievous

my car has no tcs or stm lol

2006

2.0

yeah

the engine is based on a ford 4 cyl but tuned by mazda

makes 170

not bad

gets it sideways 😭

the torque it makes is great

feels very peppy

nah its my daily i don’t really need that

yeah i’m gonna get coilovers when i have money to spare

it comes with an engine brace

yeah it’s pretty neat

it gets the job done

i want one so bad but the only ones around here that aren’t priced way too much for what they are have salvage titles

all beat up track cars

that would be insane

such a cool car

[pearl oxide]

he was a cool fellow

[gray storm]

my dad's mates harley, and my car in the background

[torpid cairn]

@frigid cosmos i deadass might have to quit assetto at this rate

the game size is getting too big

this entire chunk is assetto corsa

out of 512gb visualized

[pearl oxide]

my assetto is huge

[torpid cairn]

its genuinely concerning 😭

[torpid cairn]

R.I.P

and all we can do is compress the snot out of game files

[pearl oxide]

i’ve got a 2tb ssd and a 2tb hdd if things really get out of hand

[torpid cairn]

i have a 512gb ssd for my system and an extra 512gb ssd for all my games

[pearl oxide]

i hog data like crazy

[torpid cairn]

i was trying to play beamng and got a notification that i had megabytes of space left

[pearl oxide]

😭💀💀

i did an internet speed test today and my little server pc hit 1.3 gigabit

[torpid cairn]

DAMN

[pearl oxide]

never again but i was SHOOK

it averages like 900

[torpid cairn]

at this point i dont need to know how slow my network is anymore

[pearl oxide]

my fucking laptop internet sucks so bad

[twilit dawn]

I just did a tire rotation, so theres like a 2-3mm difference between front and rears since it got new tires (6000 miles ago) but the fronts have like 5mm of tread left

[opaque flame]

Fuck I should

Unfortunately semi slicks are directional so I can only swap front to back unless I actually take the tyres off

[opaque flame]

Thats mental

Well

Color me concerned

[marble pagoda]

Wonder if its gonna be more powerful than the sti

[pearl oxide]

oh hell no i bought a carbon fiber wing and they sent me this 😭😭

[gray storm]

lmaooo if it looks too good to be true it defo is

[pearl oxide]

i bought it because it looked silly but i’m worried it won’t stick to my car very well and it’s fly off driving fast

[patent hornet]

I know the guy who makes em

Up the AU falcon

[twilit dawn]

I mean I only ever swap front to back and vise versa

[pearl oxide]

oh sweet

[patent hornet]

its a lot of effort lol

[pearl oxide]

i can tell

[pearl oxide]

basically the same cars

[marble pagoda]

Toyota's boxters

[pearl oxide]

i want one so damn bad

[opaque flame]

[marble pagoda]

R33?

[twilit dawn]

R34 sedan

I think they just became legal to import

[pearl oxide]

early r34s are legal now

[marble pagoda]

Finally theyre legal, what a dumb legislation cause i see them fkin everywhere over here

[twilit dawn]

mhm

Tbf they're a little overhyped

dont get me wrong the supra and the GTR are cool

but they are average on my list of japanese cars

I like shit like the NSX, integra, CRX, and so on

[marble pagoda]

I would so have an integra type r or type s

Such cool cars

One of best sounding engines

[icy vapor]

My first car, a 1989 Vauxhall nova (opel corsa a) saloon 1.2 merit

This is my daily drive, 4 speed manual, 53bhp, 85nm torque, 0-60 in a tested 13 seconds, 840kg, manual choke, averaging 45mpg could easy do 55mpg if I drove more economical

52k miles on the clock

This is a very rare car these days, especially as mine is a 4 door

They didn't really make many saloons and there's less than 200 total left on UK roads

Maybe a quarter or less of those are 4 doors

[icy vapor]

Interior view

I love how basic this car is

No power steering, no brake servo, no AC, now electric windows, no abs, no traction control, nothing unnecessary

Also, her name is disco, nickname is dick turpin

[pearl oxide]

that’s really cool i’ve never seen one of those before

it’s in magnificent condition

[marble pagoda]

God damn! So fuckin sick

[icy vapor]

Thanks mate!

[icy vapor]

Soon to be in better condition, I'm dumping near enough 800 quid to get some bodywork replaced and welded

But honestly it's just rear drivers arch and both front doors right at the bottom

Other than that no rust

Structurally immaculate

[gray storm]

@icy vapor absolutely love a nova, be sure to glue in the hazard switch though so it can't be nicked

[icy vapor]

I don't need to worry about that mate

[brisk hare]

@icy vapor has leveled up! (2 ➜ 3)

[icy vapor]

That trick only worked on the mk2

[gray storm]

ahhh I stand corrected

[icy vapor]

My hazard is in the middle of that console

Doesn't budge

[gray storm]

sub-80hp cars for the win, my skoda is only 13 years old but has the slowest 1.2 6 valve you've ever seen

[icy vapor]

Damn I got that 1.2 8 valve

Except mines 21 years older haha

[pearl oxide]

one of my friends has a ford festiva with a 1.3l 4 cylinder

really neat car

has the seatbelts that go over you automatically like a 240sx

[gray storm]

yeah my old man used to have a 200SX touring that did that

[pearl oxide]

neat feature

[opaque flame]

Wish it had a facelift

Still not a huge fan of the looks

But that's great anyhow

[marble pagoda]

Me neither, too many angles but thats just the design language thats popular right now

[opaque flame]

Man Aston is so underrated

Fucking love them

[marble pagoda]

Dayum 3 valkyrie spots so far

[remote spoke]

[twilit dawn]

Update, it is installed now

And holy fuckin shit it growls

Dashcam footage of pull

[gray storm]

wicked

[icy vapor]

What car is that

[twilit dawn]

what car you think it is?

spoiler: ||2006 Acura TL||

[opaque flame]

Just dropped 4k in mods

Fuck usd to aud conversion rates man

[twilit dawn]

I dropped $400 on a mod :>

[opaque flame]

Lol

Copped a lightweight flywheel, cold air intake, new lightweight alternator and water pump pulleys, limited slip diff, new oil pan

[twilit dawn]

Just a cold air intake over here

More specifically the AEM 21-513C cold air intake
On of the best for this car according to multiple forums

I wanna get a greddy Evo exhaust for my car

[opaque flame]

Aem also best for mine

[twilit dawn]

So is it more like short ram or true cold air?

[opaque flame]

I dont fuck with short rams

Cold air all the way

[twilit dawn]

W

Short ram is pretty much just for sound imo

Evem then mine is loud af

[opaque flame]

Yea, or if it's really cold where you live

But I live in fucking Australia so

Lol

[twilit dawn]

It rarely ever gets below freezing here so yea

Maybe once every few years

[opaque flame]

Especially not in WA

[twilit dawn]

But that being said its been in the in the 60s outside l in the morning

So like probably a few degrees cooler than room temp

https://youtube.com/shorts/_sV1iYvVbWg?si=iGl6UWv27qyvoTAV

This is the goal as far of what I want out of sound

But I'm not doing any pulley or lightweight flywheel shit on my car

[opaque flame]

Coward

Pulleys just free up hp loss from crank to wheel

[twilit dawn]

yea but it also fucks with the cars harmonics and I dont want to have it to where for example my alternator isnt outputing enough at idle

it already revs fast enough for me

[opaque flame]

The ones I'm getting lower it by something like 5%?

Anyhow I've read the reviews and no one's seen any negative affect on the output

Plus increases longevity of the alternator and pump

[twilit dawn]

honestly yea especially if you're revving out your car a lot

I rev mine out to close to 7k pretty often so yea

[opaque flame]

Oh yea, the 2zz revs up to 8.2k, it wants to be floored

[twilit dawn]

I wish mine revved that high lol

[opaque flame]

Its pretty cool, also great for when someone has to borrow the car and I dont need to worry about them over revving too much

So much leeway

[twilit dawn]

my peak power band is like 5k to about 6.5k

[opaque flame]

6.2k is when my vtec equivalent kicks in for about 40 extra horses

Wanna get a tune to lower it to 5.4k though

[twilit dawn]

VTEC kicks in at like 4.7k

as crazy as it sounds goal for me is about 300 crank hp

or 240-250whp

got a ways to go as I think stock the auto puts out 210whp

[opaque flame]

Same tbh

But I don't think I'll get there

[twilit dawn]

boosted maybe

[opaque flame]

Gaining any hp out of the 2zz is ridiculously expensive

[twilit dawn]

na thatd be hard

[opaque flame]

I want to supercharge it

[twilit dawn]

try the TL

[opaque flame]

But cause I have to ship everything from America the prices are fucked

[twilit dawn]

really high $$$ to power ratio

and not in the good way

[opaque flame]

I dont know... mine might be worse lol

[twilit dawn]

plus J32A3 doesnt have huge aftermarket for power

[opaque flame]

I just dropped basically 4k and I'll only probably get 10whp from it max lol

Tbh a lot of that is shipping, differential and oil pan

[twilit dawn]

But aren't you already çlose to full bolt on?

[opaque flame]

Nah im still far off it all. Currently what I've done is

• Engine bay tower strut
• BC coilovers
• APEXi muffler
• Yokohama semi slicks
• Removed butterfly valve
• Momo GT2 wheels

Engine still bone stock

After this set of mods I wanna buy an ecu, header and mid pipe which will be like 6k cause of conversion rates

[twilit dawn]

Ahh

Yeah im all stock except for cai

[opaque flame]

Yea, within this stuff I've ordered arrives I'll have

• Engine bay tower strut
• BC coilovers
• APEXi muffler
• Yokohama semi slicks
• Removed butterfly valve
• Momo GT2 wheels
• MWR Alternator and waterpump pulleys
• Helical Limited Slip
• QRP Oil pan
• AEM Cold air intake
• MWR Lightweight flywheel

Can officially call myself modded then

Good feeling

[icy vapor]

Im getting a new rear arch 💪

Not a mod it's just rusted to fuck

[twilit dawn]

AEM ftw

Every time I make a list I'm humbled by how expensive this shit can get

[opaque flame]

Real asf

It's insane

6k it will cost me just for headers, mid pipe and ecu

Not to include tuning cost once they're here

[twilit dawn]

tbf ECU is expensive af

[opaque flame]

This is a 20 year old second hand one

Discontinued

Still like 2k cause every cel owner wants one

[twilit dawn]

Every part I wanna get for my car apparently

Sounds nice from outside too

[opaque flame]

Sounds good, rare for hondas

[pearl oxide]

i heard an s2000 with motorcycle mufflers and it was crazy

https://youtu.be/fIBCnlr8AbI?si=vki_qSZ7ji4EuOls

Wtf

[pearl oxide]

i guess they’re from 2 honda cbr1000s

[brisk hare]

@pearl oxide has leveled up! (17 ➜ 18)

[pearl oxide]

no life

[opaque flame]

I stopped abusing people for levelling up as a joke when I immediately levelled up after saying "no life"

Been here since the start of lockdown so I'm like level 40 something

[pearl oxide]

i got here around now 2021

[twilit dawn]

Hondas usually sound pretty good with just a cai

It's the fart can exhaust people put on old civics that kills it

[twilit dawn]

Same, sometime in 2021

[opaque flame]

Ehhh

Usually too high pitched

Imo

[opaque flame]

Turning 20 in 9 days man, gonna miss this server just a little bit 😔

[twilit dawn]

With just cai?

Cause mines throaty as hell

[twilit dawn]

Lvl 50 here so I don't have room to talk

[opaque flame]

Is yours v6?

[marble pagoda]

Turning 20 soon too bro 😭 so sad

[opaque flame]

I am not ready bro

[marble pagoda]

Ive noticed that over the past 8 months or so ive slowly become less active in the server bro its happening 😭😭

[opaque flame]

Oh god yea same, I'm barely here outside this chat

I'm in a stupid good place financially for my age, basically live away from home as I work away but I'm gonna mad miss being a teenager

[marble pagoda]

Yeah im already starting to miss being at school n shit even though i fuckin hated the place but just not having responsibilities was so nice back them

[twilit dawn]

Yea, specifically the J32A3

[twilit dawn]

I noticed it as soon as I got a job and started college-

[marble pagoda]

The times are changing 💀

Im not gonna be to hungover on leaving the server though this place can actually be sucha sespit of degeneracy sometimes

[opaque flame]

Thatd be why

Honda v6s sound pretty alright

I work 2:1 swings, so 2 weeks on straight (14 days, 11 hours each) then 1 week off

I REALLY miss school lmao

[marble pagoda]

Fuck what a grind 😭 i bet when you get that week off youre just like 'fuck yes'

[opaque flame]

Fuck yea, goes so quick though

[opaque flame]

Boy

Ours are of course shit compared so some places in America, but its not too terrible, could be in Israel, greece or India where you can't even touch your csr

[marble pagoda]

Singapore or indonesia is the worst apparently

If you modify your car even a little it will be classified as defective

Just need to pass a safety inspection

[pearl oxide]

where i live i don’t gotta do shit

i just saw a kawasaki ninja h2

california is wild

[marble pagoda]

I wish chevy kept the front mid engine design sooooo bad

[twilit dawn]

Tbf one of the Corvette engineers wanted it to be mid engined since the c4 Vette days

[pearl oxide]

[pearl oxide]

are these rare spots???

[pearl oxide]

wrong chat 🙏🙏 for the stuff i deleted

[ocean grail]

its not im indonesian and my friends have modified diesel cars

they call them "land squids" from the black exhaust my friend has a 600hp 2gd toyota fortuner build and its sick asf

during an emissions check u usually just bribe the police to pass the test and they dont pull u over or go on patrols

u could literally do whatever u want and as long as u bribe the police they wont really bother u

you could even pay the police for an escort lol with a modified diesel car and put police plates and sirens on ur car as long as u have the right connections

singapore is really fucked tho but u could still mod as well

my s'porean friend has a modified lancer evo x and its crazy, but to mod cars in sg u have to be filthy fucking rich tho

[gray storm]

Here in the UK and Ireland everyone takes 1.9tdi, TD5 and M57 cars and puts popcorn limiters and hybrid turbos on them

[brisk hare]

@gray storm has leveled up! (56 ➜ 57)

[ocean grail]

theres a fuckton of 330d's here that are fucking crazy

like 0-100 in less then 5s

diesel modding here is super popular

[gray storm]

it's a shame we never got an E53 X5 4.0d with the M67 out of the E38 740d (which we didn't get here either)

we also didn't get the S420 CDI

[pearl oxide]

wasn’t the r8 meant to get a twin turbo v10 diesel

what aston martin is this

[opaque flame]

Pretty sure it was just a prototype

[pearl oxide]

it would’ve been sick if they did that

[opaque flame]

I heard it was nutty as hell, had enough torque to start from a standstill in like 4th or 5th gear

[twilit dawn]

checks out lmao

also thoughts on Vors TR4 wheels on an Acura TL

[pearl oxide]

i wish they had done that

i fucking love diesels

i wanted to 1.9tdi swap my old audi

[opaque flame]

Are those just not rpf1 reps?

[ripe heron]

hard

[twilit dawn]

Idk, but they look nice and aren't too expensive

[opaque flame]

Don't be that guy, don't get reps

Do yourself a favour and buy genuines

[twilit dawn]

I'll have to look in to them, I didn't know the were reps

[twilit dawn]

They actually look a little different than rpf1's

Slight differences

bluetooth one?

[gray storm]

yeah

[pearl oxide]

i got an alpine head unit with car play and it makes my car feel 10 years newer

[twilit dawn]

I got a Bluetooth module to plug into the XM tuner in my trunk, car has the functionality of modern audio systems, but still retains the factory look

[pearl oxide]

i had one of those cigarette lighter transmitters for a bit

worked good

[twilit dawn]

FM transmitters are nice in therory but if you do a lot of driving around cities, it gets a lot of interference

that's why I did a more direct solution

wiring into the radio itself

[pearl oxide]

i live in a big city and rarely got any

people exaggerate it

[limber wharf]

Ain't that good honestly,they promoted it as a racing anime they should've stick to racing and not force a rom relationship between 7 and mc

[pearl oxide]

got a new pc recently and i’ve been playing a shit ton of beamng

runs so good

[twilit dawn]

depends, the ones I've tried that friends have my routes all have areas where it has bad interference, so I just decided to plug into the XM tuner

tbf I also get a shitton of functionality out of that adapter too

like calling, showing music and caller info on screen, and the factory audio controls on the steering wheel able to control all of it

your favourite car(cringe and not sigma) vs my favourite car(sigma gigachad floppa)

In his defense he probably couldn't see you

Large SUVs/trucks don't exactly have great ground visibility from that area

[gray storm]

agreed you need to anticipate the blind spots of these huge trucks where the bonnet goes as high as ur nipples

POV: Honda guys trying to "drift"

[pearl oxide]

at least you didn’t end up in a ditch

[twilit dawn]

fr, those are fairly deep so I def would have messed some stuff up

[pearl oxide]

after ending up in one myself i try not to play around near them anymore

teef

[twilit dawn]

easier said then done for me, since anywhere fairly local has ditches along every road

[pearl oxide]

ah yeah

[pearl oxide]

yayay fangs

too late for halloween but it’s ok

[humble sequoia]

As my dad used to say "There's nothing gayer then two men in a miata"

[pearl oxide]

😈

[humble sequoia]

Lmao

The fangs make it 100x worse haha

Rate our jeeps

Unfortunately the JL got wrecked 😦

[brisk hare]

@humble sequoia has leveled up! (0 ➜ 1)

[pearl oxide]

they look good

which is rare for jeeps

normally jeep people have awful taste

[humble sequoia]

Oh yeah, damn mall crawlers

we are guilty of owning jeeps with angry grills, but we dont like em lmao, im trying to convince my dad we need to just spend the money to get new ones

[pearl oxide]

don’t they normally just pop off i know a lot of them just clip onto the normal grille

[humble sequoia]

Nope, you have to do a full replacement, it usually only takes up an afternoon

[pearl oxide]

huh

[pearl oxide]

the monte carlo from training day makes me feel a type of way

https://tenor.com/view/training-day-gif-18327695

[gloomy yarrow]

I did that, not intentionally like a month after getting my drivers card, nearly shat my pants as my car has no abs traction control or even airbags 💀

Basically car span out because it was raining and shit tyres

[twilit dawn]

tbf done the same thing in my dads honda accord, but no traction control, andyea uncontrolled is a bit scary lol

[twilit dawn]

dang low miles

[pearl oxide]

idk about low 😅

[twilit dawn]

if its older than 10 years and under 100,000 miles I call it "low mileage"

I mean my acura is an 06 and I got it with only 97,500 miles

now its closing 107,000

keep in mind I put that miles on the car in a span of 4-5 months

[gray storm]

I can only dream...

[pearl oxide]

my greatest enemy

the prius compact

parked up at school

[round cloud]

car nopt startig

my dumbass left my door open while i was putting car play in

[twilit dawn]

Battery probs dead

Also is this a 2008-2012 Accord?

[round cloud]

yes !!

[twilit dawn]

Some pics I took of the car tonight

[rich jungle]

So for my first car, what should I get? Early 2000’s Vauxhall Astra, Peugeot 106 or Vauxhall Vectra/Insignia?

[gray storm]

k11 micra 1.4, drove one today and it handles like a go kart and is actually pretty quick

[gray storm]

I'd imagin4 a 1.4 106 like this would also be similar
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202305247730091

[rich jungle]

Fucking hell, £6.5k FOR THAT SHITBOX?!?!

[gray storm]

try this saxo vtr
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202310213201707

[rich jungle]

Ok that’s better

Might get the Citroën

[gray storm]

yeah if you can get insured, 3 weeks from whenever you're getting the quote is the cheapest

[rich jungle]

Or better yet, get added to your parents insurance

Because that’s what my dad said, he’ll put me on the insurance so I won’t get my wallet fucked by insurance each year

Also keep in mind I plan to do delivery jobs like takeaways or Uber

[gray storm]

yeah i can't imagine a saxo is gonna be much less nimble than a scooter, that'll be no issue

[rich jungle]

So yeah, if I were to get the Saxo, I’d be doing stuff like deliveroo and Uber eats

But the Vectra would be normal Uber, seeing as it is a saloon car

[gray storm]

I don't think the vectra can do uber, think the car needs to be less than 10 year old

[rich jungle]

Are you fucking serious bruv

[gray storm]

do the saxo

[rich jungle]

Alright fine

All because the newer Insignias are shite

[gray storm]

yeah they blow head gaskets

crap GM engineering

[rich jungle]

They’re literally just rebadged Chinese Buicks

Also, I need to have a 2008 onwards car

And the fucking Vectra is at that cutoff

[gray storm]

Saxo and Eats/deliveroo it is then :)

[rich jungle]

Done deal, especially since lots of people will be ordering around midday as well as 5-9pm

[gray storm]

yep, most agile thing u can use on a car license and if you're late it does 120mph

[rich jungle]

Even better if you’re blasting drum & bass or Eurobeat

Les fookin go lads

[gray storm]

fr I want a white 406 to be like the taxi movie

[rich jungle]

Also no I refuse to get a Corsa unless it’s a VXR

[gray storm]

yeah I rode in a mates corsa today and it's a bag of shit

[rich jungle]

Oof

Anyways, one car I wanna see has gotta be an M3 GTR

[gray storm]

I'm more of a CSL guy but yes

[rich jungle]

Tf kinda car is that?

[gray storm]

new Escalade

Think the new V is getting a TT LT7 along with the C8 ZR1

[pearl oxide]

that would be so sick

[torpid cairn]

I swear the largest cars always get the biggest engines

Also this belongs here too

[ripe heron]

woooow

another fucking suv

[pearl oxide]

mazda just needs to make a miata with a rotary

[limber wharf]

Ahem

Enjoy

But best of all

The miata

[torpid cairn]

Amazing shots!!

[marble pagoda]

Always love seeing black series gt's

[vague lintel]

i have found my people

[gray storm]

I prefer a black AMG GT S

[twilit dawn]

Miat :3

[torpid cairn]

Welcome to Valhalla

[pearl oxide]

luckily all my heater needed to work was a little more coolant

[vague lintel]

ive posted my truck in this server b4, but i wanted to post it here cuz it probably will get more attention.

Its a 1981 ford f100 flareside

idk how many miles

but theres a catch

its a 1981 body, on a 1990s f series chassis.

f100's didnt come with 4wd, yet this one does

4.9 inline 6 with a 4 speed stick

its maroon but theres like an inch of dirt so its brown

this is what the color would look like if it didnt sit for 10 years

[ripe heron]

no

for the love of god

[pearl oxide]

the miata is perfect for a rotary

im shocked they never did it

[pearl oxide]

thats pretty sweet

those i6 were solid

[limber heart]

I’ve narrowed my options down to these 4, which one should I get

[torpid cairn]

Weight

[limber wharf]

2003 Chevrolet

[pearl oxide]

it weighs less than than the 1.8 does

[pearl oxide]

i didn’t even hit the gas and the back still went out 😭

[pearl oxide]

the cars and bikes in the gta 6 trailer look really good

it looks like theyll be better from launch than 5 was

[vague lintel]

miata funny moment

[pearl oxide]

the last time i lost it there i ended up in the ditch 💀

[vague lintel]

daym

[pearl oxide]

the cold start is loud 😭

[twilit dawn]

I've managed to do this in my fwd car, big slick spot in the road while turning and I already was on the brakes

but in your case, light car + wet = no traction

[pearl oxide]

and my tires are cheap sport tires

[ripe heron]

thoughts about soviet/russian cars?

[pearl oxide]

they’re pretty neat

someone has been trying to sell a mint old lada near me for a hot minute

[torpid cairn]

Hehehe

[twilit dawn]

[ripe heron]

[vague lintel]

okay new topic

whats ur dream car?

im going with a GR Corolla

[pearl oxide]

probably a bmw m2

[vague lintel]

thats fire

ive always liked bimmers

im kinda a fan of the e39 540i v8 myself, but yeah m2 is really cool too

[gray storm]

Mercedes S65 AMG Coupé

[twilit dawn]

Acura/Honda NSX, the NA1 generation

[torpid cairn]

ok

so about two months ago i was biking around my neighborhood and saw this

A80 imported straight from Japan in lovely condition

today

I go down the same street

[twilit dawn]

the evo imo is way more impressive than the supra

[torpid cairn]

I almost agree, I like the Supra more because it looked like it was in a better condition

Also I had talked with the owner and he’s gonna put a 2JZ into it

So I’m biased

[twilit dawn]

They come with a 2JZ factory?

you mean like swapping a Turbo 2J?

[torpid cairn]

Yeah, sorry

[twilit dawn]

Snapchat filter go hard lol

Got the roof spoiler in today

[torpid cairn]

2JZ-GE goes out, 2JZ-GTE goes in

[torpid cairn]

Damnnn

Nice

[twilit dawn]

Ngl a 1JZ-GTE would be pretty dope too

or

twin turbo v12

[torpid cairn]

Some would call that sacrilege

Lol

[twilit dawn]

It's participating in it's first car meet tmr :3

[torpid cairn]

Oooo, take some pics for me pls!

[twilit dawn]

Ig it just depends on the v12

like a toyota v12 would be dope

[twilit dawn]

I intend on it lol

[torpid cairn]

True, I guess it’s preference then lol

IIRC he said he wanted to keep it close to stock

But wanted the turbos

[twilit dawn]

like a oem+ deal

[torpid cairn]

Basically

He already had the new 2JZ too, was just waiting to put it in

I think he dailies it

[twilit dawn]

dang nicee

[torpid cairn]

Man, at this rate I just need to spot a skyline in my neighborhood and I’ll pretty much have seen the golden age of Japanese sports cars

[twilit dawn]

Coolest cars in my neighborhood are probably an 8th gen si sedan, c3 corvette, c8 corvette, and possibly a R35 GTR

[torpid cairn]

Ooooo

[twilit dawn]

saw one being unloaded off a trailer yesterday night

[torpid cairn]

I know a guy in a nearby town who has an r35

[twilit dawn]

I spotted a r32 sedan in my neighborhood years ago

[torpid cairn]

👀

Damn

[twilit dawn]

might still have the pic somewhere

[torpid cairn]

I just remembered that I’ve seen an NSX in a nearby town too

[twilit dawn]

yup

I still got it

[torpid cairn]

DAMN

[twilit dawn]

this was way back in 2019

[twilit dawn]

I'm waiting for the day I see an NSX in person

might see one at the car show tmr, one of the biggest car shows I would have ever been too

[torpid cairn]

I saw it in September, I remember screaming when I saw it pull up

[twilit dawn]

I would've too lmao

NA1 from the looks of it

[torpid cairn]

Yeah

[vague lintel]

coolest in my neighborhood (small town) is a 2015 chevy silverado 💀

where im at, i dont see any cool cars

my boss said that he saw an old 57' chevy pickup drag car v8 with a 9600 rpm redline, so there are definitely cool stuff in iowa, just not near me

[pearl oxide]

there’s an sti hatch with a twin turbo toyota v12 on instagram

[vague lintel]

ive seen that

it sounds insane too

[pearl oxide]

yeah

[twilit dawn]

I've seen that, have you seen the old toyota corona with a v12 and ITBs?

on yt?

[pearl oxide]

i haven’t

that sounds sick though

i don’t think i’ve ever heard a v12 with itbs

[marble pagoda]

Very nice GT4RS in the wild

[vague lintel]

thats very bright

i remember finding a camaro with a krypton green paintjob.

hold on lemme find it

only 935 made, i think owner said like 1 of 2 in iowa or smth

AND THAT IS A FACTORY COLOR BTW

[ripe heron]

uhhh

Toyota MR-S ZZW30

I have small requirements, don't I?

[vague lintel]

nah its fine

mr2s are awesome

[twilit dawn]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HaLmpLiUPUI

[torpid cairn]

I’m gonna do some digging and see if I can find any solid numbers from Chevrolet, but I think this would count as a rare car to go on the list

Ehhh, it’s not the best source, but according to paintref.com, GM WA445B was available on a handful of cars as a paint option only in 2017

Namely the Colorado and Sonic

[marble pagoda]

My achieveable dream car is either a C63s coupe, AMG GT or 996.2 turbo

[pearl oxide]

my friend is looking at a volvo c30 with the inline 5 turbo to buy rn

super cool

[gray storm]

very tunable, as all the parts for mk2 ST/RS fit as its the same engine and basic platform

[ripe heron]

imagine if 4ws worked in fh

[vague lintel]

oh

i mean when you put it to only zl1 coupes in that green

thats 1 of 111, so i mean thats pretty good

there were 111 zl1 coupes and 17 zl1 convertables in krypton green

[vague lintel]

i couldve sworn that theres 4ws in fh5, but its like really really minimal

[torpid cairn]

There is

And tbf it feels/looks exaggerated

[pearl oxide]

hope he can sell his bmw soon to get it 🙏

[torpid cairn]

The Honda E got killed in the UK/Europe and I’m sad

[vague lintel]

man ion even live in uk or europe and im sad bruh

honda e goated

so many cool cars just gone

[ripe heron]

wha?

[pearl oxide]

an electric kei car i think

looked good

this may be my fastest shift ever

if only that car in front of me wasn’t going 10 under the whole way down the road

[ripe heron]

i know,but

how it got killed

[torpid cairn]

Honda said they hit their sales quota apparently

I’m crushed that it’ll never come to the US

[vague lintel]

i mean it could?

im just hoping kinda like how we didnt get the GR yaris in the states, but now we have GR corolla

we could get something similar

if we get somethin like the honda e, it will go crazy selling in the us

[limber wharf]

Nah that's a ferrari

[torpid cairn]

Also is this anything of note

I know it’s a Land Rover but I can’t tell which

[pearl oxide]

my dads coworker left his supercharged land rover sport at our house while he’s in another country

cool car

[torpid cairn]

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a46129531/2025-range-rover-ev-teased/

uhhhh @limber wharf @ripe heron @twilit dawn

[vague lintel]

no its obviously a pantera

[vague lintel]

what a great feature to brag about when getting groceries

its cool when it will be used for fording through deep water, but its probably going to be a rare thing

[twilit dawn]

the most reliable range rover ever

[pearl oxide]

clean rs5 outside my work

[vague lintel]

rs5 dope

audi in general is kinda s tier

audi sport quattro is my favorite audi of all time

[limber wharf]

Vroom vroom

[vague lintel]

big vroom vroom enthusiasts here

okay so after a ton of thinking, ive decided a replica 037 is my dream car. Thoughts?

yessiir

thats a good one

which gen? like literally the 1st one?

oooh

i love 90s civic hatchs

i used to drive a 2018 civic, and i loved it.

if i ever get a chance to have a civic again, it will probably be a 90s hatch

vw golfs are sick too!

actually when i was looking for a new car, i was thinking about getting a diesel golf, but i couldnt find one near me

ye

those 1.9tdi and 2.0tdi ones are dope and im said that they didnt sell well here

oh i bet

the other thing i wish we had were station wagons

no m3 wagon

thats true

yeah it does look pretty good

im looking up diesel golfs near me and i stg theres like 3 in the whole state of iowa for sale

i dont like it at all

here a nonmolested evo goes for like 30k

its dumb

bruh

though that is a newer one so it kinda makes sense

yep

no fucking way

WHATTTTT

SALVAGE TITLE

72k MILES

this is how i die

it gets worse

okay its a clean title, but theres been 4 owners

do you use km?

ok that would be 96k km

thats america. tuner cars are outrageously overpriced and thats that

that makes sense. here its kinda a mix of both body mods and performance

im 18

oh

here you can start learning at 15/16

ah ok

oh

i think i got my license at 16 i think

but its kinda limited on like what you can do

i now have my full license, but a learners permit allows u to just drive with parents in the car and thats it

is that the same over there?

thats much different from the us, when you get your full license at 18, you can drive this without any extra licenses or permits

an 18 year old right out of school can just have that

yeah just a casual 14 thousand pound (6300kg) truck that you can have at 18, no worries lmao

yeah thats only half of the truck above

that too

its mostly car culture adopting a ton of clout chasers who buy like a 3000gt and then let it rot in their yard for 5 years

its sad

yep

thats pretty normal in the us

26k for smth like that is considered cheap

i honestly could not tell you why

yeah its not good

thats kinda the only thing i really hate about the us

even new cars are fucked

a used 2023 honda civic type r going for 50k us

whats funny now is that because everyone is on a mad dash for an underrated gem, there are no more gems

theres nothing

i feel that

my parents have no idea about anything with cars, so whenever i tried to talk anything about cars with them, it just be like "oh thats cool"

its good that i have an outlet here

[vague lintel]

1.9tdi supremacy

supra if it was good

[pearl oxide]

i wish i had the time and resources to 1.9tdi swap my audi when the engine blew

[vague lintel]

that wouldve been dope

[gray storm]

The M57 is the thinking man's diesel.

[vague lintel]

diesel cars are dope, and im sad that there are next to none in the u.s

[limber wharf]

My car

Rate it

[twilit dawn]

Mercedes has a few

Not sure if counts as car but small pickups are even getting the diesel treatment

like the chevy colorado has a 2.8 duramax or smth like that

[vague lintel]

ye i know about that

but i wanna see like diesel bmw sedans n stuff like that

[vague lintel]

thats the coolest car anyone has posted here what

[pearl oxide]

my neighbor has a 335d

one of my favorite bmws

twin turbo i6 diesel

[vague lintel]

that is dope

wait are you in the us?

i think they were sold here (obviously not many) but i wanna just make sure

[pearl oxide]

yeah i am

it’s sounds like a jet when it starts

[twilit dawn]

poor infiniti

[torpid cairn]

I half hate it half like it

At least I know his tire supplier loves him

[twilit dawn]

yea

idk it just looks a bit extreme-

[torpid cairn]

I think it definitely is

Camber + tucked tires is one of the combos of all time

[twilit dawn]

Ngl if I ever did camber on my car, it would be a very little amount and id have another daily driver if I did cause it fucks tires up

[vague lintel]

yep its always too much

im a huge fan of track fitment though

like this looks perfect

[torpid cairn]

Is that a Sandero

[vague lintel]

i broke my neck trying to look at it but i love it 👍

It’s all just brainrot

[marble pagoda]

Nice luh r33 on ways to the gym

[ocean grail]

it was also one of the new ones with the curved screen, car was super comfortable with alcantara seats if i had to buy a car itd be that one exactly because it was just perfect

[ocean grail]

it was also the touring version so it just looks better imo honestly

[pearl oxide]

can’t really go wrong with a modern bmw

[ocean grail]

it was fun asf up until i tore my acl skiing and had to be taken to a hospital 😭

[pearl oxide]

at least you had a torn acl and a bmw

[torpid cairn]

There’s been some pretty interesting car news as of late

[marble pagoda]

Your car needs to go to rehab!

[limber wharf]

Back In my day people use to share them!

[vague lintel]

dodge showed us some pics of the production version of the daytona srt concept

[torpid cairn]

I can’t place exactly why, but I think it looks worse

[torpid cairn]

I forgot to post the articles 😭

[vague lintel]

its confirmed there will be a twin turbo inline six version

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a46363753/2025-dodge-charger-production-first-photos/

[torpid cairn]

Well it’s good that they finally confirmed it

It felt like a weird “will they, won’t they”

[vague lintel]

i mean its better than axing it altogether

[torpid cairn]

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a46363990/hyundai-ioniq-5-n-npx1-concept/

There’s this too

[vague lintel]

i think its kinda cool, but its a bit bland for me

[vague lintel]

now this on the other hand

holy shit do i love the ioniq 5 n

[torpid cairn]

Same

[vague lintel]

there was smth really quirky about that car but i forgot what it was

8 speed gearbox i think?

[torpid cairn]

Simulated gearbox

And different rev sounds

[vague lintel]

yeha thats what it was

im suprised no one has done a simulated gearbox until now

either way its dope af

[twilit dawn]

so pretty much the same kinda idea as when they simulate and an auto with a cvt

like some of the honda accord sports apparently

[torpid cairn]

Basically

[vague lintel]

Yeah but this time it’s like a dct

[twilit dawn]

Like an actuall DCT?

[vague lintel]

Yeah

“The Ioniq 5 N is the first electric vehicle to simulate an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, which Hyundai calls N e-shift.”

That’s a quote from car and driver
