The relative I was talking about of whom I go to Nikko with has an EF9, he was planning on buying an EK4 and K20 swapping it
If you want silly power
k24
Never went for that
But as a K20 user
It handles a lot of pressure block wise
But please do not go turbo
Keep it N/A
K20 wise if you want higher power torque etc
High cam is the way to go
But boosting wise, you would have to budget reinforcing it
Block wise and reforged pistons etc
Just saying from exp
I had a mate who drove a FD Civic
k20 turbo
Engine broke
Not worth the fix
I remember seeing a Turbo FD2 running on a track event alongside others, the sheer amount of wear that his tires had accumulated post-event was astonishing
Depends on the displacement too
LSD wear is even but FWD notable
Most honda's wear FWD
LSD is shared but still shaved
LSD tho is a total lifesaver
If you have that budget
Definitely essential when tracking a car
I would life to see that battle to be fair. Honda power battles show
Fr
I hate those memes where they show up VTEC as so called bins
I am like
If you compare a carb
Yea
What can you say
But a proper k20
Stock
Not giving it praise etc
It just does the job.
Precisely
Every car has their own specs bla bla
It's just something to focus on ig
As a Civic owner prev
I can say if you raced me on my route
Be it turbo'd
Or induction wise
If you can't tell headlight timing per turn
236 bhp beats 500 bhp
Any day
Cuz turbocharged cars pulls
Try taking a corner
N/A eats into corners
Turbocharged cars pull away and you have to throttle flutter
N/A wise you can throttle control revs
Exactly that
And you feel it
Now I do condone it
And I wish people to drive safe
js
there is a massive diff when you drive n/a
And a car that is charged
Turbo lag can only be mitigated to a certain extent, and I'd take instant throttle response over "one-shot" power any day of the week
I remember seeing an old best motoring VHS where an N/A EK with forged internals (Spoon parts) literally ate up powerful turbo cars
Turbo is there, but I felt it on sharp bends, massive oversteer, compensation if you call it

miroshi's Integra Type R #1920 homepage: http://itr1920.blogspot.com/
The ultimate showdown of Japan fastest sports cars at Tsukuba!
Starting grid:
- Spoon Civic EG6 (Takashi Oi)
- Honda NSX R (Hattor...
But straight wise yes
Turbo on sharp bends is disgusting
I will say it brings you away
Imagine having esp/abs on
Might as well say it is that
Oversteer is fine
Just counter
But for the life of me, front tyre wear
Especially tyre wall wear
Semi slick life
Now js, I used an Indonesian brand semi slick brand
Accelra
It did the job
But side wall erosion after a weeks worth of touge on the back straights
Turbo charged hits harder then N/A
And N/A wise you hit better times due to rev saves
So much time loss with more hp if that makes sense
Combined with wear brought on by braking on a turn-heavy track and you have a bit of dilemma
When you are single and need to something to forget the pain

Usually measured per run, semi slicks had soft compound
Tire markings often helped to measure gradient
So that so called tire marking you see on those cars
esp the "white branding"
Best measure for tire wall measure besides the whiskers you get on the trye
That's a good tip actually
You always see those nodes on new tires
like little hairs
It is standard yes
But if you say race those tires
It is a good indicator of wear
And say tracking
Where one side has more wear/whiskers then the other
hence tracking is important for cars
Or trucks etc
Tyre wall wear show a lot. I cannot stress more then getting your car rebalanced every 3 months
imo
For optimal trye wear
Seeing people drive with wheels at a negative angle makes me upset
Esp rear wheels
Very detrimental approach, I don't understand why people think it helps in any way
If you drive behind someone with wheels inverted from the way it is supposed to be
Can you beep?
You may get tiktok'd

Lmao
I wouldn't hesitate to be a nuisance if I see this
How to become hated by every car sub-culture community (speedrun)
I was driving to Eurocarparts today to get a new batt for the A6
Car ahead of me was already neg gradient
2021 Focus
I cba anymore
But back to the topic
Mazda 323
Why did you sell it
And sell your soul

I have no right to ask at this point ngl
\
I have a bit of a habit of becoming attached to certain cars upon driving them, even if that may have been just once
If I had a 323 I would be lmao
And I had test-driven a 130i
I have never tried this
How did it run?
I was instantly hooked and it was within my budget (I had money accumulated from working briefly)
Listed at around the £7400 range
And I had always wanted a 130i
Or an Alfa 147
Some kind of hot hatch that could imitate the 323F in a way, and I already knew that the 3.0L N52 found in the 130i was a fantastic unit
I took the opportunity to part-ex the 323 for the 130i
I got less than £1300 at the time
(This was in 2013)
So I saw the opportunity to snatch myself a car that I considered an upgrade
And that was essentially the end of my relationship with my 323
That was also the biggest regret of my life, because part-exing that thing for next to nothing when it is now worth somewhere in the region of £8000-£12000
Hurts
A lot
Fantastically, the 1 Series always was a very driver-oriented car
Alfa is actually something else tbf
It reminds me a bit of the Alfa Brera
Fr
The only reason I didn't consider getting a Brera or 147 was down to maintenance costs
But fuck
I went and bought a BMW
Arguably just as bad
Alfa Romeo is a euro supercar brand
They make overpowered cars
Italdesign
Only downer is parts
I was quite young when the GTV first debuted, but I remember thinking "what an odd looking car"
This
This tho
3,2
And yet I somehow like it just as much as the 550 Maranello of the same era
I think it was the GT 159's
OHHH
Amazing car
Lemme find that scene
ダニエル・クレイグ演じる6代目ジェームズ・ボンドの2作品目である『慰めの報酬』。その本編開始すぐに展開されるボンドの駆るアストンマーティンDBS V12と敵側のアルファロメオ・159による壮絶なカーチェイス。
ちなみに、なぜカーチェイスしているかは、前作「カジノ・ロワイヤル」のラストに直接繋がるため一応伏せます。
イタリア北部にある風光明媚なガルダ湖を映しながら、何やら不穏なオーケストラをバックにトンネル内を爆走するアストンマーティンとそれを追う二台のアルファロメオ。時折挟まれる、軽機関銃の弾薬装填、アサルトライフルの安全装置解除、ボンドの真剣な目つき、といった数々の描写から「これから何やらヤベーことが始まる」と思わせてくれる導入がかなり好きです。
#映画#洋画#カーチェイス
V6 orgasm
One of the loveliest Alfa's
I love how unassuming it looks from the side but how aggressive it looks from the front
This is nice too
And this is just downright beauty
Alfa is something else
Italdesign on budget
I remember a friend of mine asking me to find an inherently ugly Alfa
And I genuinely think that's an impossible feat
It is
Just say F1

Not a F1 fan after the v10 side
I used to go for the f1 races in Sepang,
Not used to the recent v6's
I am old
But yeah, the only Alfa I would quote crap now is the F1 version
Agreed
V8's
Is pinnacle
Put that in F1 channel
v12 is concept tbh
v6 in F1 is why would you do that
Be it hybrid 1.6 bla
Just seems like sacrilege
I prefer milk in 2l
Fr 

#motorsports discussion tbh
But yea
I prefer v8 and v10's
And I am a diehard
Schumie fan
I have his cap growing up
And it was his merch
So yeah.
Bias
To be fair the only race merch I have trully signed is from Nicky Hayden
He was my bike idol
Then he died
Practice run
MotoGp was never the same since
I have always had respect for Schumacher, Mansell, Lauda, among many others
That was devastating
I still rmb Schumie's so called retirement race
The one where his tyre shredded
And he ended up 4th in the end from last
Was a good race
He was talented beyond belief, it hurts to see F1 as it is now - having grown up in what I consider to be the golden era of it
I rmb him growing up, was one of the only riders to greet us.
Got my cap signed by him
Rossi did not even gaf
It's horrible to have an idol taken away like that
My partner is into more dire bike races
lol
She follows isle of man TT
And knows McGuiness so
Ohhhh, it's incredible to witness that
Went every year until cov-19
But japan is the next trip
Esp the Auction event
You should plan that too
I bet you will enjoy it
I'll definitely consider that
I've always been a fan of Super GT and JGTCC myself, I take after my dad/grandad
JGTCC
Yes

Japan GT over Euro GT3 any day
I saw one race in my lifetime when they hit Sepang
I will never forget the Nismo R34 and Nismo pitull 350z
Takata r34 too

And the NSX
🥲
I remember it so fondly
That and the Arta NSX
I'm a big Arta fanatic
Mainly because I like Kunimitsu Takahashi and Keiichi Tsuchiya
I have the Pitull Motul Poster still lmao
Agreed, it just absolutely dominated GT500 and JGTCC as a whole
Back when the Z gt500 looked this good
Such a beauty
This
Can't say anymore
The race is one thing
But fr
It's just watching monsters fight
No losers
It was pure racing; at its best
Without any compromise
I mean, I still drool over old JGTCC machines when I have the chance of seeing them
In particular
This one
This car appears at the Tokyo Auto Salon annually
And was personally driven by Motoharu Kurosawa in 1983 (I believe)
1989, my bad*
I had this poster
Legendary
back in 2009
I love posters
Since you got em free
Now I notice you have to pay for posters
Which is actually effed up
It's almost insulting
Calsonic Nissan
They had the R34 Calsonic too
110%
JGTCC cars were tuned to a hilt
Borderline legal
Same like what they did for LeMans and GT3
So many regulations
Literally how clever you are in circumventing
Like how they made the 737B Mazda
And the M3GTR
Monster machines
Prime example of the Evo
When Rally tried to cut them off for being A class
They could not beat the Evo even at Evo 7
that is why you have the Tommy Makinen Evo 6.5 to commemerate it
Look up the evo history to see the vid
Very good to watch tbh
Definitely going to watch that
I always had a soft spot for the Evo, having grown up watching best motoring VHS tapes of the thing racing against even more powerful cars
And it always surprised me when it came out on top
I mean, this acceleration is just
Ungodly

#EVO #Lancer #WRC
Who killed the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution? Why did Mitsubishi back out of WRC? Will Ralliart ever return? This is the story of how an unlikely JDM brand built an empire on dominating rally racing, and then gave it all up to make crossovers.

This is TH...
It really is tragic how down-in-the-dumps Mitsubishi is now in comparison to how it was in the glory days
Mitsubishi, a company that practically invented AYC; canning their performance models altogether
I do as well, I've always loved the Evo III-IV RS/GSR
With limited budget
"Toyota with the Celica - the cheeky bastards"
I assume that's hinting at the turbo scandal
Gt4 bois do be hurt
Fr
Secret society
Not knocking, GT4 Celica is a piece in history
And an overall beast of a car
And then vvti came in

Vtec copy
With no vtec

I remember playing Colin Mcrae on the PS2 and racing in a black Evo VII
Evo VIII*
That brings back memories
This car is iconic
I remember seeing the top gear episode where they pitted the Evo VIII up against a Murcielago and seeing how well it could stick with the thing
I still rmb that Top
Gear episode
Where they took a drug dealers Evo
To fight an actual tank
My heart if I had one
I felt it

I remember that too
Lmfao
Actually kinda wanna rewatch that now that you've brought it up
Part 1 of 2. Jeremy heads to a British Army testing area in Dorset and pits a Mitsubishi Evo against an array of military hardware in an extraordinary off-road race.

Was gonna share this
Got caught up and got disgusted
Especially the last bit.
Imma say gnite and have a good one
3am
You too mate
Great chatting with you
[kinda loud]
how 2 fix broken light

Disclaimer: probably only works on early 90's cars as shown in the video
buying a used car is a really tricky job 
the problem is: i can't really trust the sellers
whats important for me is the chassis health, cuz it wont be the same again once its damaged
should i trust what they say? 
I wouldn't risk it personally - I've had pretty bad experiences with some seemingly nice people before
Having a once over can reveal a lot
With that being said, I wouldn't recommend anything like a dealer pre-purchase inspection unless you're looking to buy used exotics
theres an app where you cxan see the backstory of the car
it says what accidents its been and how is the vehicle in general
and if its recomended buying it or not
idk the name, but if you want to try it i think donut media had it as a sponsor recently, its also monthly paid
hope that helps u
I also have a video explaining what you should do when ur buying an used car, dm me if you want it bcs its getting filtered even tho its from yt

You know it's gonna be expensive when:
Someone must've tickled that Ram's neck lol
Get the VIN and take it to a VIN decoder site
And if they aren't giving the VIN then I personally wouldn't continue with that particular sale
If they're purposely not giving the VIN then there's probably a reason for that
Looks like it's clinching a turd in its butt

ONG
Ask for a service record
Also ensure that service history is from an authorized dealer,it depends on the car aswell
U would be fine with a used Toyota or Honda

My santa claus
Don't u have places to test cars?
Yeah that the article
But who wants to read when pictures are more interesting
Dude was like 800 miles from home too when it happened 💀
Ouch
Yeah I think the article said it was like $17,000 of damage 
Oof
Yep
And Mopar won't fix it under warranty either 
what do u guys think best car brand is
Mercedes cause im albanian
Isn't one
dodge
Every company has their problems
Volkswagen owns most my fav car brands thats why
I'd probably say Hyundai nowadays
They've been making great car after great car
Even if nobody wants to buy them
Because, y'know
Hyundai stigma
My stepdad had a Hyundai that broke down in lisbon and that's was the worst day of my life
So i kinda have trauma, even tho I quite like their recent prototypes, like the manual electric race car
A friend of a relative had an '04 elantra that was nothing but trouble
From the Pony Excel up to the early Tiburon models, Hyundai really made some awful cars
The Tiburon was sort of improved with the 2.7L V6 in 2009 but the driving experience was still meh
not even close Hyundai has had terrible recalls over the past years, Hyundai has garbage quality 
Meh; same could be said about Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Ford, and Toyota in regards to the severity and significance of their recalls in recent years
BMW I can agree with but I wouldn’t Put Hyundai anywhere near Toyota quality 
In the long-run, no; absolutely not
But I wouldn't expect that kind of quality when I'm spending so little
Exactly so I wouldn’t say they’re the best brand on the market, I’d probably put Toyota or Honda in that spot honestly, they have a much better resale market compared to a lot of other brands
That's true
I do see potential in both Hyundai and Kia as parent companies, many issues have been rectified in the past year (namely the Nu GDI and Gamma GDI rod bearing issues which have been the route of the recall issues over the past year)
And the N model cars have been real successes so far as well
But we'll just have to see
They have potential but I can’t get past their terrible designs personally
The one I’m focused on is the Veloster that had the stupid 3 door design
That was a mistake
The Tucson and Kona are also not much better this year either
Sort of to be expected
And don’t get me started on that ugly ass truck either 
Oh yeah, the Santa Cruz
I honestly have no idea who the truck was for
No idea
Mainly because the Ranger, Colorado and the Tacoma are better choices imo for a smaller truck
Likely brought to fruition to compete with trucks in the American market
Even though it wouldn't stand a chance
I’ve seen one or two around my city and the only thing I can think of is “why”
Same case with the Tucson really
Toyota and Honda are much more reliable than Hyundai aswell
Meanwhile kia is busy recalling cars due to their engines catching fire

My sister has a 21’ Seltos and it has a recall for piston rings which may or may not need engine replacing 
Idk cause she likes the look of them I guess
Idk why but I always saw Kia as a “Bootleg BMW”

It’s mainly the front end grills
They have potential to be solid cars but they’ll always be outclassed
Took my dads Toyota 200 series for a drive today
Such a great car to drive
So much fun
Where altima gang at. ✔️ in
yes, there are also "experts" who I can pay to check the car's status in place before buying, but what if those "experts" also don't find out important issues on the car?
just because they're called "experts" doesnt mean they can see everything about the car.
actually i may change my mind about buying a used car.
im very picky when it comes to buying stuff, especially something like a car, so i thought maybe its better to raise my budget abit more and buy something less risky.
Concorde
Only bad thing about buying new cars is that the dealerships make the actual price higher
Allways hated that
You guys know any good first cars because im getting a car in like a year because i get my license then
Thing to think of is in sweden we have cars that you can only drive 30 mph with but it can still be a normal car just made to drive 30 mph
Civic or Corolla would be a good 1st car since they're reliable and easy to maintain
Are they easy to work with?
Yea
They are pretty cheap aswell
KHI_DA_MAN
Civic & Corolla
fun tip for you
if you're gonna buy a car from a dealer, go in saying you will need to buy the car on a loan/plan, because the dealer will reduce the price in the contract because they'll make it seem like a better deal for you, even though they're gaining more in interest that way
and then before you sign the contract, say you have enough on hand to pay for the car outright
price has already been set 'lower' so you get a cheaper car
lel
that’s actually not the right strategy for a lot of places
we have cheaper prices for all cash
That won't work in UK either
I will probably never buy a new car.


This was not the news I was expecting to hear today

Rip Ken Block

Oh god
Block was riding a snowmobile up a steep slope in Wasatch County, Utah, when the vehicle upended, landing on top of him, the local sheriff's office wrote on Facebook.
He was pronounced dead at the scene from the injuries he sustained.
The sheriff's office said that Block had been riding with a group but was alone when the crash occurred.
Used to be a rally driver but he got his fame from Hoonigan's Gymkhana videos
You've probably seen at least one of them if you're a car person
All the comments on this post are of people mourning him
This is a good way to sum it up
It just doesn't feel real like something we can truly process
If anything we expected him to meet his maker during a Gymkhana event
Like how he very nearly did during Climbkhana
well he wasnt gonna die old thats for sure
but still gone too soon
and left a daughter and a wife behind
nah he was gonan die of old age
hopefully her daughter will carry the torch of bringing the 911 to pike's peak
That pink pig 911 thing?
You know you lived a hell of a life though when people you never met are devastated by your passing. Shred in heaven KB43❤️🔥
R.I.P Ken
You were an inspiration to a lot of people, me included. You were a big part of my childhood and even my youtube career now. You did incredible things that inspired me to do them aswell, though digitally.
God thats sad
RIP the legend that got me into drifting, I hope the legacy continues like the Irwin family that inspired so many
R.I.P Ken, so sad when I found out yesterday
Never is a very big word
Rip
Ken block
Tonaa miss my guy
People who do that here are always doing it via finance and wonder why they have no cash by months end 
New car wise
I think I'll get an RCZ as my first car
was the drift tampa put on sale bc of ken’s passing or was it like that before?
It was like the before pretty sure
Discounts changed last week
was rewatching some top gear in the "uncertain" era where chris and matt drives an rx7 and skyline gtt around in japan
I hope those cars are scrap ready because it hurts a little watching em get trashed lol
woman 🍵
dead chat
if it's fwd probably drives
runs and drives (minor roof and door damage)
I believe it's a Honda accord
If it is a Honda accord it is fwd
1999
yeah it can definitely drive after than then
Aerodynamics 
Ye
Guys, what do you think about MG car brand?
Roblox work at a pizza place live action
The ZS, GS, and HS models are all pretty terrible
I see, these are the only MG cars offered here in Ph
The GT is decent but I personally wouldn't recommend any of them
SAIC is not well known for their quality control
The GT doesn't have a price yet, so I think it's not here yet, it's probably in a "coming soon" status
Ah, I see
Oh well, so much for me to finally having an experience of buying a UK car instead of all about Japanese car.
Guys I reccomend getting a 2021 or 2022 honda crv awd
It has 1.4 litre turbo gas engine with awd and can go up to 215kmp
Also has 7 autochanging gears
Get ready for what is easily one of our strangest drag races to date!
We've got our hands on a group of three-wheelers and we're going to put them through their paces over the quarter-mile!
Now when it comes to performance, there's only one thing we know for sure... None of them are fast! The most powerful car we have here is the Reliant Reg...

Amazing
Dude i want this car so bad
Goofy car
goofy ahh car
#transportation what a channel name
Is that even an Evo💀
If it looks this bad, i doubt
No self respecting Evo owner would do that to their car
Looks like a Lancer GS4 to me
@honest herald you ever just hate that your dream car is expensive as shit?
Fucking ITS RIGHT THERE, IN MY SPEC AND I CANT HAVE IT
70k isn't that unaffordable
pigs can't drive
Probanly just a gemeni
A flying pig
Just a little bit, yeah
not saying it's cheap but is it that expensive?
That's more than a Camaro ZL1

Oh I mean yeah I could show off a prestigious model
That 70k caddy isn’t even prestigious 
why did i think this was in game lmao
1,000,000 miles???
Probably not
Bruh
1 mil miles
Quite fashion car. Not sure if it's good. They got no dashboard like the Tesla Model Y but with a HUD
That is horrible
It looks like treadmill monitor
The ones that show how many calories you brun and bow long you've been on it
I hate cars that don't have gauge clusters right in front of the steering wheel nobody shouod be copying Tesla's mistake
im all for cars improving with technology but the trend of Massive ass touch screens needs to die out 
Why would they want us to look at the center console's touchscreen display instead of rolling our eyeballs at little downward just to see our speed, rpm, engine temp and fuel remaining?
Probably just going to be a less than 100 models type of car 🥱
The red accents look super tacky
homie put on all secondary skirts, hood, and bumper in LS Customs
There's too many of them tbh
If it was just the hood/roof stripes and maybe the grille outline it would look way better
just collected enough cash to buy my next car and my current car decides its aircon gas runs out today, oof
Wow... another boring soccer mom SUV
Wdym that isn't even an suv
These are soccer mom suvs
Soccer mom suv entails a certain type of suv
That thing doesn't even qualify as an suv ngl
That's a tiny ass crossover
idk what you see that is boring here, it looks pretty futuristic it's not exactly a class of car that brings Lamborghini excitement it's a practical a to b car
I don't look at a Honda crv and go "this should give me the same satisfaction as a bmw m4" lol
Actually a soccer mom list is never complete without this thing
This ones the queen of them all lmao
When a soccer mom wants a mustang
the mach e isn't bad but you'd have to hold me at gunpoint to get me to say that is a mustang
I literally call it the Ford Mach e or just Mach e
never will I say the words mustang infront of that thing
Because they only did that to market the vehicle and it worked great
if they just called it the ford mach e it wouldn't have sold as well
It’s like saying “I drive a Mitsubishi eclipse” but it’s the shitty crossover
It’s the same thing
This isn't a shitty crossover though
the mach e is actually good
the Mitsubishi is shit
Anybody who thinks it is one is delusional
Even if I worked at a ford dealership i'd be hard pressed to utter the word Mustang in front of that thing when trying to sell it
Apparently the high voltage wiring is an absolute mess
It's a Ford so that makes sense
What do y'all think of the ram EV truck
i take bus
Suicide doors was something I wasn't expecting
jimmie Johnson is gonna run number #84
pretty interesting given the last car in nascar to run that number was one of the Red Bull ones
Look its the left motorsport
if thats the only thing you could think of to what i was talking about then it figures
Look its the left motorsport
Stupid car with a stupid name
Have u seen what they did to get the name?
Or heard
That's the reason I hate the name
Same
It's ridiculous
They have a forged carbon fiber stick up their ass
The Ferrari badge is a 2000$ optional
Futuristic doesnt mean that it suddenly looks interesting to me
Don't forget about the Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon
I thought this was a Mach e at first glance lmao
All these new suvs looking the same
Watch this one be part eletric too
Probably not
Front end made me think it was a Chevy for a second 
Fr i thought it was a MOUNTFIELD HP185 46CM 139CC HAND-PROPELLED ROTARY PETROL LAWN MOWER because it had wheels which the lawnmower has aswell
New GT-R
where the aggressiveness go
looks like a bitch car
and electric
Like really dated
Goofy asf
No way
Is that real ?
Nissan made it themselves?
How did they manage to make it look more dated than the 2017 facelift r35
Thats crazy
They really made the 400z yet this is the best they couldve done with the same old r35
I honestly wouldnt have a problem with them still re-releasing the r35 but damn, they really managed to make it looks worse than the 2017 facelift version
It still looks worse than the 2017 facelift
Im really surprised how they managed to make it look worse than the facelift
I like the nismo
The normal one is meh
The lights (fog lights¿?) make it look like an arena war car from gta (just using it as an example)
Why make a new one when we could just make a car from 2009 for another model year!
Genius Nissan
Ew
The rear fenders looks a bit out of place because of their roundish shape but I love the rest of the kit
It definitely gets its inspiration from the competizione
Did some more driver training today
Tried different styles + attachments because of my disability
How was it
Driving with a knob is so much easier. Don't have to use my left hand for anything

On private property yeah. Not licensed yet
Disability
Ah
I can drive normally, just doing it with this makes it so much easier
That's good
Don't have to use my left hand at all which is nice
So that remote attachment puts all the stalk controls like headlights and blinkers into that little area
Interesting
And it can be used as a spinner knob to turn the steering wheel too
My left hand/side is majorly disabled, and this knob makes it easier because normally my left hand just gets in the way of my right while trying to steer, so only having to use one hand makes it so much easier
👍
Was fun actually
Got to go around barbagello raceway
Took the Audi they had up to like 180kmh on the straights
Wanneroo Raceway, currently known as CARCO.com.au Raceway for naming rights reasons, is a 2.411 km (1.498 mi) motorsport circuit located in Neerabup, approximately 50 km (31 mi) north of Perth in Western Australia. It was built by the WA Sporting Car Club.
The circuit was originally known as Wanneroo Park and the first race meet took place in Ma...
I have a track day with some exciting itinerary in May
Also did some street driving. Wasn't as cool, but was fun still
More practical stuff
Definitely a world of difference to bush driving/off road, which I've been doing since I was like 8 @kind osprey
is that meant for the gt300 class?
Nope
GT500
This is what this lc500 is made for
Yeah
do they have new rules for this season?
ah guess gazoo's just being gazoo
Cause that thing wiped the floor with the rest last year
I dont think so
tbf the nsx did that for several years
idk the body work looks weird odd
On the lc500 ?
My first thought was the incredibly long wheelbase
Atleast from the photos
It looks so long
Same with the civic
It really looks like a stretched civic
that and the new airflow
most gt500s had standardised side profiles
this one's entirely new
Mmyeah
But its not like theres new rules so everybody has to change things
Its really interesting
Mmyeah
nismo was abusing the gtr for decade and honda just won with the nsx
Tbh the only reason i watched the last couple of seasons was because jenson button had a gig there in one of the nsx's
did they grandfather the rear engined ones or just directly go onto front engine
I'd like to watch more supergt but I can only find paid channels
Im not really sure
hmm getting confused while looking at that lc500
because they removed a lot of conventional bodywork, and I'm not sure if it's done for point regulation
since I don't see anything which could compensate enough
aside from maybe the lower air panels on the sides
I was looking up the meeting place for this car i might purchase, and literally found it parked on google street view
lmfao
So i went to the Auto Expo today
I'll be posting pics here soon
No one really was interested in the cars😏
how kind of lexus to hire the Stark ladies
These goofy ahh future cars look like their frim a comedy about the future mocking it
who is the girl
She looks like an Ava
gta but in real life
Sick
Those are so comon in portugal
Same as these
Like if you go out rn to buy something i guarantee you you ll see atleast one of the two
Most likely m3 bcs merc are kinda older

die
old mercs are my thing
Someone said that Ford engine is blowing even in sim... 
Same
80s s class' are the best cars ever made (if anyone denies this they are wrong)
Agreed
went on a car hunt today, didnt buy a car sadly
but now I reek of early 00s fabric seat car smell
I had hopes that the cars would be nice but turns out most of em are shit, the one that's good has a really sus seller so I backed out of it
the 00s honda CRV's were alright I guess, didn't know their trunk panel is a folding table lmao
How many more years can they milk this design
More than gta 5
@tight flareyonr
the r35 is going the path of gta 5
same platform, 50 years of evolution, if it works why change it right
Right
L
What's new about it exactly,, other than an ugly facelift?
Spooling intake that replaces the old exhaust actuator to reduce turbo lag, limited slip diff
And that's it
The interior is more basic than previous iterations and doesn't have anything else to offer
such innovation

Introducing the new 2024 Corvette E-Ray, the first electrified all-wheel drive with a 0-60 time of 2.5 seconds, equipped with advanced technology, & all-season capabilities.
It's finally here
I thought that was going to be the official announcement for that SUV electric Corvette I kept hearing rumors about
I wonder, why don't some utility vehicles have tachometer?
is it the one that flies
I just thought of something
People: My car, my rules.
Ferrari: Not if you buy a car from us.
Ew no
But at least Chevy didn’t use the corvette name on an electric SUV
Our car
Loyal Ferrari customers are often snobs too
They'll laugh at you if your car wasn't able to pass the classiche programme
Haha! Gordon Ramsay has a Lambo and he's actually super nice. Btw, having even just one Lambo disqualifies a person from becoming eligible for Ferrari's VIP program
Jim Glickenhaus burned the Porsche in his reply to Porsche's statement. Nice one Jim!

1600 horsepower
I think that was definitely the right decision for GM
https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a42505195/chevy-to-fix-corvette-z06-engine-failure/
GM gave the guy 3 options: get a full refund for the car, spec a completely new car to replace the blown one (presumably free) or GM repair the engine free of charge
Stock supra can smoke this fr
Easily

Miat
why is the miata not in online yet im so sad
On a positive note, we dodged many shitty stanced tiktok sadboy builds that way
anyone who has driven a huracan?
I haven't yet but I will in a few months
I'll have to put you on hold 😆
I saw a Koenig Testa at Makuhari Messe in 2019
It was up for auction at the venue
Sold for almost 200k
I've driven an R8
Can't speak for the Huracan but the R8 was insanely easy to drive
Sidedroughts
Messe ? Are you part-German?
The convention center in Chiba where the Tokyo Auto Salon is held is known as 幕張メッセ) or Makuhari Messe, Messe is derived from the German word for fair if I'm not wrong
I don't know why it took up that abbreviation actually
But I find it interesting
messe is more like a stock market
or something different in other languages
so maybe it ties in more with that
though it could also refer to fairness idk
how's the midrange on the r8?
Since I can't afford supercars, I wish a "rent a supercar" business exists in this world so that I can drive one at least.
that does already exist lol
in multiple forms
either hire, show rides, or leasing
Yes! I still have a chance!
@pseudo flame yeah it's a shitbox but plan on making a homemade Shogun
rn me and my dad are customizing a 1996 ford ranger. gonna paint it and get it reupholstered to make it look like its from the 70s
Oooh, retro stripes are a MUST
And you have to do the 1970s Ford badging on the back
defo im also looking into getting old cali plates for it, if thats even a thing u can do
You can but custom order
thats an awesome idea thx and how would i go ab getting custom plates? through the dmv or somewhere else?
Depends what state
States offer them from the DMV but there is other states that don't but you can get it custom ordered from a third party and they get it all legal
For example Georgia, you have to have the standard plates if you want Custom lettering but if you want to custom background then you have to have standard lettering but there is a third party place that can do custom both
ill defo research that thats a main part of the exterior
How to applyTo register your vehicle with vintage plates, you must have actual plates that were valid in New York State in the year the vehicle was manufactured. If it was a metal tab year, you must have the metal tab. [fn]Vintage plates issued in the model year of 1972 and earlier must display the embossed year, or have the original metal tab f...
That's New York but check for your state
Have to, main thing is I'm putting a 3.5 L V6 into a car that is so small to the point the engine is almost 1/3rd the size
damn
I'll be putting stuff on it for downforce
do u plan to race or just daily drive
I'm putting the EcoBoost V6 with a turbo setup in it
Race
nice
Yeah, have you seen a Festiva before?
It was $500 in good condition next door
thatll do it
And literally that day I watched Jay Leno's video on the Shogun
Yeah I know the Ford Festiva is a rebadged Kia Pride and the Shogun had a Yamaha V6 from the Taurus so opposite of what people think of a Ford but I'll make my own Shogun and I hope it won't kill me
If you open up the door you'll see how paper thin it is, it literally is a metal box
im excited for u thats a great project
are u gonna add any protection like a rollcage or smtn
i feel like thats a requirement tho bc my dad had a 2005 mustang and it had some roll bars
No because I'll be dead no matter what, here look (Google pics)
jesus thats thin
Yep, stop it from crushing in and killing me but the g-force from the accident will kill me immediately
no airbags?
that is def ballsy
This car is the definition of "you are the crumple zone"
lmao
It has seatbelts though...
Not like they'll help you much
But it's actually cool that they have doorbelts
what are doorbelts
interesting
And those aren't safe either because they fail often 💀
yea i was just ab to say that seems problematic
One of a few reasons they're gone
So, tell me more about your dad's truck
You guys planning to do anything under the hood?
no its p clean only 77k original miles
the real project is the ~80s ranger he got recently
mb 70s
What engine does it have? I think it came with a 2.3-liter 4-cyl., a 3.0-liter V6 and a 4.0-liter V6
im p sure 3.0 V6
Oooh, love the 1970s onesss
it has the plastic-wood dash and surprisingly rlly comfy seats
the main thing is i think a solenoid and the rust
but it was just 500$ so if we cant get it working we can part it out for a profit
Honestly when you guys do fix that up, I would recommend getting rid of the plastic...
whys that?
If you're fixing rust, you're probably going to have to take apart the dash to make sure the steering column is okay and everything and you can find a metal piece quite inexpensive and they're common
