Cuz fr, so called octane 97 is bs

#

Causes more engine issues then anything tbh

hybrid charm
#

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

surreal saffron
#

K20 is a very safe choice

#

Power wise

hybrid charm
#

Indeed, very good platform

#

Plus

#

Loads of aftermarket support

surreal saffron
#

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

hybrid charm
surreal saffron
#

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

hybrid charm
#

Definitely essential when tracking a car

#

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.

hybrid charm
#

Precisely

surreal saffron
#

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

surreal saffron
#

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

hybrid charm
#

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

surreal saffron
#

Never tried a supercharger so can't say

#

But Turbo wise

#

Yea

hybrid charm
#

I remember seeing an old best motoring VHS where an N/A EK with forged internals (Spoon parts) literally ate up powerful turbo cars

surreal saffron
hybrid charm
surreal saffron
#

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

hybrid charm

#

When you are single and need to something to forget the pain

hybrid charm
surreal saffron
#

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

hybrid charm
#

That's a good tip actually

surreal saffron
#

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

Mazda 323

Why did you sell it

And sell your soul

#

I have no right to ask at this point nglKEKW \

hybrid charm
surreal saffron
#

If I had a 323 I would be lmao

hybrid charm
#

And I had test-driven a 130i

surreal saffron
#

lest I share my corolla

#

Carb now

#

4afe

surreal saffron
#

How did it run?

hybrid charm
#

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

hybrid charm
surreal saffron
hybrid charm
#

It reminds me a bit of the Alfa Brera

hybrid charm
#

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

#

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。

One of the loveliest Alfa's

I love how unassuming it looks from the side but how aggressive it looks from the front

surreal saffron
#

Alfa is something else

#

Italdesign on budget

hybrid charm
#

I remember a friend of mine asking me to find an inherently ugly Alfa

#

And I genuinely think that's an impossible feat

surreal saffron
#

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

hybrid charm
#

The V12s are just

#

Purely eargasmic

#

The V8s too

#

The V6s are too quiet for me

surreal saffron
#

But yeah, the only Alfa I would quote crap now is the F1 version

hybrid charm
#

Agreed

surreal saffron

Is pinnacle

#

Put that in F1 channel

v12 is concept tbh

To be fair the only race merch I have trully signed is from Nicky Hayden

He was my bike idol

Then he died

I still rmb Schumie's so called retirement race

And he ended up 4th in the end from last

Was a good race

I rmb him growing up, was one of the only riders to greet us.

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

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

Borderline legal

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

hybrid charm
#

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

surreal saffron

#

It really is tragic how down-in-the-dumps Mitsubishi is now in comparison to how it was in the glory days

surreal saffron
#

As a pre Evo owner, I simp for them

With no holds

Mitsubishi, a company that practically invented AYC; canning their performance models altogether

buying a used car is a really tricky job sweats

#

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? monkaHmm

hybrid charm
#

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

it says what accidents its been and how is the vehicle in general

and if its recomended buying it or not

hybrid charm
#

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

urban pond
hybrid charm
#

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

urban pond
#

BMW I can agree with but I wouldn’t Put Hyundai anywhere near Toyota quality shrug

hybrid charm
#

In the long-run, no; absolutely not

#

But I wouldn't expect that kind of quality when I'm spending so little

urban pond
#

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

hybrid charm
#

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

urban pond
#

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

hybrid charm
#

That was a mistake

#

The Tucson and Kona are also not much better this year either

#

Sort of to be expected

urban pond

And don’t get me started on that ugly ass truck either Confusion

hybrid charm

Oh yeah, the Santa Cruz

urban pond
#

I honestly have no idea who the truck was for

hybrid charm

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

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? monkaHmm 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.

#

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

#

that’s actually not the right strategy for a lot of places

When a soccer mom wants a mustang

kind osprey
#

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 just not a mustang

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

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

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

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
