Yea I feel like this video was made by someone against Tesla but this stupid video makes Tesla look better

A family sedan doing low 7's

[onyx rivet]

should be faster
And if its not any faster than an ICE viper from more than 10 years ago, it cant be

What about cooling or steering ratio or its ability to be driven on the roads or other track-car problems that needs to be addressed?

If an off the shelf civic was allowed on with the minimal requirements to go do a tour around the nordscheliefe, does that also make it a track car?

While it could track, i dont think it should be labelled as such

[livid sigil]

What are you saying what is ‘inb4’

[jagged sentinel]

Is this a genuine question or ironic

[livid sigil]

No fr English is not my first language

'in' 'be' 'four'

as in 'i'm predicting this could happen' is what inb4/in before means

[misty kiln]

Just powder coated them so nah pass

Until i have the money for a disc brake conversion im not considering new rims

Front downforce on a bike 🏍

[pine relic]

perfecto

[misty kiln]

Speaking of barra

[heady swift]

Yew

Yes

Provides more grip as you only have one wheel to steer with

And makes sure you have less front lift during acceleration

[static gale]

Aside from exiting med-fast corners and top speed runs, I don't see much of this point since you need airflow for it to work

Just looked again, and remembered it's 1. Track-only and 2. Also has side fins, so yeah, it would really help around the track

[heady swift]

yeah most bikes that use front aero are either competitive racers or track-toys

has very little use outside tracks

[jagged sentinel]

I like the silver ones the most

The all-silver ones

[static gale]

i'm a fan of the second one with the full cover. The slight contrast (as opposed to the bold contrast of the third one) between the while line of the tyre makes it pop to me.
The small photos of the preview make the third look better (to me), but full frame? The second one

Looking at it some more, I think the difference in the black of the wheel and the tyre are what pulls me away from the bottom one

[vestal garnet]

2nd one

[onyx rivet]

My vote for second pic

[bold leaf]

2nd one

[steady cove]

i like the all silver ones

looks more classy

and thats how you should keep it

And this is my dream car

[kind osprey]

There are people in this world who would choose a last generation type r over a Lamborghini Countach

Idk how

But they exist

[steady cove]

Prefer the new gen

[kind osprey]

The last generation felt very ricey and had a lot of styling compensation to put it into a term

[fringe tangle]

The latest one? Like the 2023 one

[steady cove]

Well, ig not everyone wants to keep a car in a garage without use

[kind osprey]

The newest one is a lot more functional

[steady cove]

Yass

[kind osprey]

Getting a Civic Type r without a $12,000 dealer markup challenge (impossible)

[steady cove]

It looks simpler

And imo better

[fringe tangle]

To be fair, it is faster and a bit louder, but I don’t need a really fast car, the new one is also smaller, looks less aggressive, and the boot is smaller, I like the old gen cause it looks more detailed to me

[kind osprey]

Every vent on it is functional

And it doesn't look goofy

[steady cove]

Yeah but the details are all for looks, or mostly for looks

Kinda goofy imo

[kind osprey]

The last civic feels like driving a paper machete project

[static gale]

Give me my plastic vents to nowhere!

[kind osprey]

[quartz prawn]

civic is pretty fast though

[fringe tangle]

Some of the vents on it are fake

[quartz prawn]

iirc fastest fwd car on the ring

[fringe tangle]

Isn’t that the point of customising your car

[steady cove]

I mean it depends

[fringe tangle]

Customising it literally means what you like on it, and it’s for looks, it’s both

[steady cove]

If you are gonna put non functional vents and stuff on a car thats the defenition of ricer

[kind osprey]

I want functional and performance not cosmetic jargon

[fringe tangle]

I’m not gonna do racing bro..

[fringe tangle]

You really think I was getting it for racing?

[old sedge]

I like the Civic Type R more than the Subaru WRX STi because the Civic Type R's engine is smaller but more powerful

[static gale]

It doesn't have to be for racing just to have any sort of function

[fringe tangle]

I’m gonna use it as a civilians car, not some track car

[fringe tangle]

When we’re we talking bout’ subaru?

[steady cove]

Thats mean, he was just giving his opinion

They are both pretty much in the same class tbh

[fringe tangle]

I wasn’t using aggression or anger?

[steady cove]

I didnt say you were lol

Just said it was mean

[fringe tangle]

I wasn’t trying, to be?

[old sedge]

I just gave my opinion, got any problem with that?

[quartz prawn]

then why wouldnt you get a camry

its a civilian stuff car, probably cheaper as well

[old sedge]

Or an Accord

[fringe tangle]

I don’t have a problem, I’m just saying that “where did Subaru come from”

[kind osprey]

Save $10,000 and get a regular civic then

[quartz prawn]

im not hating on the camry btw, i love it

[static gale]

To yo ta Co ro lla

Yeah your right, my taste on Honda will change

[static gale]

Damn, you guys can get a Camry for a cheap price

[static gale]

[quartz prawn]

id take a lexus is500

[kind osprey]

Is500 is in a different category of car

[quartz prawn]

na v8 phewwww

no not an ls

an is

an ls is more luxury oriented

[kind osprey]

I said is

This font is dumb af and makes capital i's I

[old sedge]

A regular Civic is already expensive here btw

[quartz prawn]

oh mb i really couldnt understand

[old sedge]

So I guess I'll just get a City

[steady cove]

Here too

[kind osprey]

is 500 is a completely different category of car and price range

[fringe tangle]

I’m not rlly into Toyota, I’m into Honda, Ford, BMW, Mercedes and other ones I forgor names of

[steady cove]

Normally sports cars come with a massive markup its so stupid

[old sedge]

How much is it there?

A Civic RS Turbo for example

[quartz prawn]

i wouldnt say its a different category, both are fast sedans

isf is prolly more expensive

[steady cove]

Idk. Im just sure it is like +15k above the normal price

[old sedge]

15k USD, right?

[quartz prawn]

nope 💀

[steady cove]

No euros

[old sedge]

Sorry, I'm not an American

Oh

[kind osprey]

is500 is like $17000 more than any type r

[old sedge]

I'm not a European either

[kind osprey]

Or sti

And 100 to 150 more hp

[quartz prawn]

aha

is the type r a 4 cylinder??

[old sedge]

15k Euros is still cheap for a Civic

[steady cove]

No im saying 15k markup aka 15k above the normal price

Silly

[old sedge]

Oh

So how much will be in total?

[steady cove]

Idk

Want me to go on a stan and ask

🚶

Going

[fringe tangle]

Not-going

[static gale]

🚶‍♂️

[fringe tangle]

“Mods, find out where his family is.”

[old sedge]

A Civic here costs 25,626.26 Euros, it's a level below RS

[quartz prawn]

maybe 50-60k including markups

[steady cove]

They say it starts at 47k

[old sedge]

Damn

[steady cove]

But its 100% more expensive on stands

[fringe tangle]

47K!? Isn’t it 30-40 something?

[quartz prawn]

every good car is overpriced anywhere in the world

in the middle east landcruisers are like 70k and theyre not even the top spec

comes with a v6 making what, 270hp

[fringe tangle]

That’s good

[quartz prawn]

not when you look at the price though

[steady cove]

That was the old type r too, not the new one

[fringe tangle]

I was talkin bout the 2021 type R, I’m looking forward to getting that one

[old sedge]

V6 turbo, right?

[steady cove]

☠️☠️☠️☠️

No way 70k

[quartz prawn]

gahdamn

[fringe tangle]

Exactly why the older one is better💀, it’s bigger too

[steady cove]

Its just new car price, it ll go down

I hope

[kind osprey]

A civic si out of the dealer is like $34000

[quartz prawn]

70k for a 4 cyl 🙂

[kind osprey]

A type r is $55k minimum

[old sedge]

If that Land Cruiser's engine is V6 turbo and it makes 270hp, then the hp feels underwhelming for such engine

[steady cove]

The corolla gr is like 50k for 3

[fringe tangle]

Cap, over here it’s like in the range of 30-40K

[quartz prawn]

this one is naturally aspirated, theres a twin turbo variant making 410 hp

[fringe tangle]

110K*

[old sedge]

Oh

[kind osprey]

They are not, no civic type r leaves the dealer at msrp

[quartz prawn]

ur still paying less per cylinder

[quartz prawn]

wut

[fringe tangle]

Well it is that much over here in Victoria

[quartz prawn]

corolla gr is dope

[old sedge]

The new Land Cruiser here costs 86,446.14 Euros at lowest price

[quartz prawn]

3 cylinders making 300 hp

[steady cove]

Thats used price here 😭😭😭

[quartz prawn]

gahdamn😭

[fringe tangle]

So, those are used cars.

[old sedge]

Corolla GR here is just ordinary Corolla with cosmetic changes

[quartz prawn]

i love land cruisers

[quartz prawn]

and 300 hp

[old sedge]

Nope

[steady cove]

Yeah i said it in top of the photo

[old sedge]

Ordinary non performance/sport engine too

[quartz prawn]

wdym

[old sedge]

We don't have a proper Corolla GR yet, only a "GR-S" variant of an ordinary Corolla

[fringe tangle]

Oh nvm, the car I want IS 54K, I was probably looking at used

[kind osprey]

@fringe tangle what magical land do you live in where a brand new civic type r can be had for under msrp of $45,000

[steady cove]

Silly imo

[kind osprey]

I will fly there tonight and buy one

[old sedge]

Same

[fringe tangle]

Silly Willy doodle land.

[steady cove]

Funky wunky wittle dream land.

[quartz prawn]

i didnt get you

gr corolla comes with 300 hp

[kind osprey]

Another normal ahh car with a $10000 markup

[steady cove]

300hp more like 260

[old sedge]

We have an ordinary Corolla which they label as "GR" trim

That's it

[hybrid charm]

Hallo can german

[old sedge]

[quartz prawn]

ohhh lol

[hybrid charm]

[fringe tangle]

Das it not gut.

[old sedge]

We have no GR Corolla yet, we have Yaris GR though

[hybrid charm]

Oh

[steady cove]

The yaris gr is also so expensive for no reason

Small ass car for like 40k

🏴‍☠️

[old sedge]

At that price, I would just get a manual Subaru WRX if I want an AWD economical sports car like that

[quartz prawn]

every good car is overpriced

case in point type r

nissan z as well

[steady cove]

Could probably buy an Rs6 with that money used here

And in good condition

[old sedge]

Nissan 350Z is said to be an underpowered V6 engine for a sports car

Is it true or false?

[fringe tangle]

Yesn’t

[quartz prawn]

rs6 love

[static gale]

Original launch NA Miata

[quartz prawn]

kinda? 3.5 v6 making 300 hp is alr

but u gotta remember it wasnt turboed or anything

[old sedge]

Try a 2004 Skyline GT-R R34, it's priced incredibly overpriced that you're better off buying a basic Merc-AMG

[quartz prawn]

also it was like what 2005?

[kind osprey]

The z is equivalent to the sti and type r in regard to overall but it's a two seater so you lose the practicality

[old sedge]

Oh, I meant to say 370z

[quartz prawn]

the 90s were a good time

[kind osprey]

350z I think is 03 to 09 and after that is the 370z

[old sedge]

The 370z has an hp of 332-344ps according to the website here

[quartz prawn]

370z makes 330 hp with a 3.8l v6

[steady cove]

Could probably even get a bmw e60 m5 in good condition for 40k

Car prices are so wild these days

[old sedge]

So are features

[kind osprey]

I'm building my own car

[quartz prawn]

its cuz of the chip shortages and stuff

[kind osprey]

Screw this market

[quartz prawn]

build one for me

dont overcharge me though

[old sedge]

I don't like the e-parking brakes, I'm still mixed about push start-stop ignition

[quartz prawn]

electric handbrake

now u cant do a handbrake turn and act cool

[old sedge]

Sometimes, I feel like some people would get a car with start-stop ignition button because they don't want to be bothered with inserting and twisting car keys

[static gale]

Oops! Left my lights on and the battery died while my car was on a hill! 👋 🚗

[old sedge]

Cars are becoming smart. Smart entry, smart features while many drivers are certainly not smart.

[quartz prawn]

smart entry is pretty nice though cuz u dont need to take ur key out of ur pocket

unless its not paired with a stop start system

[old sedge]

This made me scared of having a smart entry car
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AHSDy6AiV0

Idk if they already addressed this or not since it's 7 years ago

But during that time, people can easily steal a car with push start/stop ignition button simply by using a signal range extender

[quartz prawn]

we had stop start 7 years ago?

damn time flies

[old sedge]

Yeah

[quartz prawn]

wow 7 years ago was 2016 💀

[old sedge]

A 2009 Toyota Corolla with a 2.0L engine here already has a start/stop ignition button

And I live in a 3rd world country where car market is way behind Europe, US and Japan

https://www.carousell.ph/p/toyota-corolla-altis-2-0v-auto-1247148696/?t-id=kRq0u6f4Ln_1691676530515&t-referrer_browse_type=search_results&t-referrer_page_type=search&t-referrer_request_id=FESdf8mK1LpQ2z10&t-referrer_search_query=altis 2.0&t-referrer_search_query_source=direct_search&t-referrer_sort_by=popular&t-tap_index=3

So yeah, the keyless ignition isn't new anymore

[static gale]

Especially with things like modded Flipper Zeroes, it's easier than ever. It's a little bit harder to crack with [micro]chipped keys

And by little bit, I mean just a little bit

[sage roost]

We had stop start since the early 00s

[old sedge]

Afaik, some "trending" features nowadays are not new

The stop start and the DRLs

They say that DRLs are actually old

Oh, this implies that DRLs already existed during 1970s

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daytime_running_lamp

I have a bright idea

Why not have a touchscreen ignition system? Remove the start/stop button and replace it with a touchscreen. All you have to do is to touch the screen to start the vehicle

[quartz prawn]

we need more people like u in the vehicle industry

[old sedge]

I should patent this so manufacturers can't have this feature without paying me.

Oh, we need a touchscreen parking brake too

[static gale]

Why not just drive the car with touchscreen like the Asphalt games

[sage roost]

Touch screen fails and you’re fucked

why not have the pedals a touchscreen

[static gale]

Hill climb racing style

[old sedge]

Society wants us to think that touchscreen is the future, so they implement touchscreens even in cars

But anyway, I would like to have a car with twincharger engine so that there will be no turbo lag

[jagged sentinel]

As if push to start wasn't bad enough

I still want a turn-key ignition

[jagged sentinel]

Or just a naturally aspirated engine that isn't completely useless without forced induction

[old sedge]

NA diesel is too weak and most SUVs, pickups and vans here have diesel engines

[jagged sentinel]

Oh right people over there don't use petroleum gas

[old sedge]

They do, but mostly on sedans

For bigger vehicles, it's very rare

Particularly on luxury class

[jagged sentinel]

Are twincharged diesel engines, like, a thing?

I figured that a turbo was ideal for Diesel

[old sedge]

I'm not sure. We do have twin-turbo diesel though

Or biturbo diesel

[jagged sentinel]

Yeah but that's just 2 turbos

[old sedge]

Ford's way of mitigating Ranger Raptor's turbolag is 2 different sized turbochargers. Even though it's not twincharged, I guess that works too

[jagged sentinel]

I don't imagine turbo lag is really an issue for general road use either

The engines over there probably have smaller turbos than the ones in diesel cars in the states as well so

[jagged sentinel]

Build the right motor and you really can run just about anything that'll fit on it lol

Though you'd probably need a bigger engine than will fit in that Camaro that can handle the boost of a blower like that

That bitch probably displaces more air than the engine

[hollow parcel]

New daily driver just dropped

[humble rune]

My BA ford falcon Xr6 turbo and my 323 SP20

[misty kiln]

Any work done to em?

[humble rune]

323 is stock, the XR6 has an aftermarket large turbo, blow off valve and larger intercooler. Aftermarket wheels (which were changing because they don't look too great) and aftermarket gauges

[misty kiln]

Any vids showing the turbo and blowoff sound?

[humble rune]

The XR6 was late uncles, I had inherited it from my nan and the goal is to get it to run reliable and into a decent condition

[humble rune]

Not as of now, the car doesn't have a working handbrake and is also uninsured

I can confirm that it pulls in the handful of times we've taken it out

Puts any commodore SS to shame

Fun fact, the Barra turbo from factory is actually faster then the factory V8 option on the falcon at the time

And due to the power to weight, it was faster then the commodores of the time which has the LS engine in them.

Yeah but difference is that I'm a learner and it's a restoration project

There's slight fade on them

[misty kiln]

Nahhhh dont wrap it then

Colour fits it well

[humble rune]

I was thinking to wrap the mirrors black and get black rims

Aswell as tint the brake lights to a bit darker

[misty kiln]

Black rims can be a lil iffy

[humble rune]

I was thinking black spokes but silver rim

The car is from 2002 so I want period correct

Ok, wait i ll tey to figure it out

Thats a civic type r intake manifold

[tepid fog]

im guessing its for coolant..

[tepid fog]

no.. thats js throttle body

[steady cove]

Yeah you should just ask on mechanic subreddit

Or maybe a specific civic subreddit

[tepid fog]

what made u think its for a civic..

does it say civic somewhere lol

[tepid fog]

dawg..

its an aftermarket throttle

[steady cove]

Is it not the same thing

Siu optimum pride

[night steeple]

are modern car doors just unnecessarily hard to move aroind or is there some reason for it? jesus volvo why, make the half stops shallower or something

[onyx rivet]

wait what

i think i understand what you are saying but at the same time i dont

do doors not open as wide when you put it at a specific angle for it stay there? is that what you are saying?

[misty kiln]

Least modern doors stay open, the amount of times ive had mine slam into my ass working on the car

[onyx rivet]

that just sounds like a spiral for the door to fall off altogether

[night steeple]

its not how wide they open but how heavy they are to open, I know they aren't that heavy, they just made them feel heavy for that prestige vibe, which I never liked

[onyx rivet]

having never owned a volvo, they do that?

they make doors heavy to make it feel prestigious?

[vestal garnet]

Could be due to side curtain airbags

[night steeple]

im not sure how other countries like it but here people do that, heavy doors feel safer and more "high class"
but I know for a fact it can be made easier to swing open and close, pickup truck doors are easier to open than some of these crossover bullshit cars
mine's a mid gen v60, its not just volvo, I tried some japanese cars, they do the same

think some chinese cars do that too

[onyx rivet]

heavy doors feel safer and more "high class"
i guess that makes sense

[night steeple]

i guess it could be just me complaining because my main car has no airbags or abs lol, doors are easy to open, max visibility for thin pillars
i have a choice of just accepting newer cars with shit visibility for stronger pillars, or go even older and sacrifice safety for style points, a mini cooper perhaps xd

[onyx rivet]

new car to replace the audi wagon altogether or a free one while you wait for the car to get fixed?

because to me that looks operatable, just replace the windows and ignore the slight dents

[misty kiln]

Hail damage is an easy write off

[onyx rivet]

maybe for older cars, but i dont think thats the case for an audi that looks to no less than 5 years old

do they leave the car keys in their as well

Alfa going to sydney next weekend to have dpf delete and tune👀

[onyx rivet]

thats like uh 2hr and a bit?

sorry, 3hrs

[misty kiln]

Yeah

2hrs and a bit if you drive like me

🥱

[onyx rivet]

my bad for acting rational on the roads

sydney CBD or somewhere within somewhat near that area?

im sure there are other places where you take the alfa to be mucked about with thats not a 2hr drive

[misty kiln]

I do all the servicing myself, but tuning is a no no, and people specialising in european cars are very rare do syd is the only place

[onyx rivet]

yeah that checks out

[misty kiln]

Diesels are like rotaries in the sense that you cant drive em around slow otherwise the carbon deposits build up, you need to give em stick fairly often

Dpf is about 84% clogged rn

Thats what obd scanner said anyway

[onyx rivet]

so you gotta rev it like a bugger to clean all the deposits up?

[misty kiln]

Once those deposits develop there isnt much you can do, regular burns clear out newly formed ones and loose shit but not the stuff thats been properly baked in

[onyx rivet]

ive heard otherwise when i think i recall with the RX-7, you would have to expose it to high rev to remove the soot

[misty kiln]

Last burn i did using obd and a program had it sitting at about 88%, and brought down to 74% clogged

[misty kiln]

Only loose loose stuff

[onyx rivet]

diesel + alfa moment

[onyx rivet]

ah so the caked-on stuff, ther is not getting out that way

[misty kiln]

It realistically aint doin shit to older carbon deposits

Pretty much, i used all kinds of acids and other shit to try and remove it, brought it to 50-60 if were lucky

Best thing to do is remove the bastard

U can make it manuel

Also the old ones come with manuel

Just get an old manuel one

[dull folio]

the C63 AMG was never offered with a manual gearbox

[steady cove]

Real?

[dull folio]

yes

[steady cove]

Well buy a manuel one

Im sure that there are alot of manuels

[dull folio]

huh

[steady cove]

[onyx rivet]

they probably meant 'buy a another manual car thats of similar size and specs'

[dull folio]

I guess

Wanted to get a 996 gen 911, but I will most likely end up with a 987.2 Cayman

Because the 996 (base carrera) is notoriously unreliable

And I can't really think of any other car in that budget that's worth getting as a weekend car

[onyx rivet]

i had to do some searching to confirm this but i dont there ever was a Mercedes-AMG post-merger with a manual

but i guess we would all be forgiven if we thought otherwise

[dull folio]

correct

[steady cove]

no, theres no way people havent manual swapped c63s amgs

just buy a swapped one

u can probably find one easly if ur from the us or uk

[dull folio]

I'm neither from the UK or US

And there have been a few manual swaps done, but they're still extremely rare

[steady cove]

idk

depends

it seems to be a fairly gone by topic online tho, theres even lots of guides

[dull folio]

It isn't exactly plug and play

[onyx rivet]

im sure there is, but no doubt will it be fidgety and finnicky to swap from auto -> manual stick
not too mention expensive and time consuming

im pretty sure if you want v8, manual and sedan, they would have cross-shopped it for something else

maybe for the equivalent 3 Series

[dull folio]

I forgot to mention I would want the Coupe, but yeah, I just really like how the C series look

[onyx rivet]

yeah my bad, i think C63 and it happens to be a sedan

which in that case it would still be the M3 or any other car

[dull folio]

correct

I guess I'll just go the Porsche route and get the Cayman, seems like a fun weekend car

Wish I could afford the 997.2 911, but they cost double what the Cayman goes for

i mean its swap and play lol

I have a brilliant idea for a car feature. There should be a feature which allows us to start the car just by clapping our hands 3 times whether inside or outside.

[quartz prawn]

how would the car know if were clapping

[jagged sentinel]

I have a better idea

We just push a button

Mustangs are too common

[steady cove]

its rare in some countries

[visual vessel]

[misty kiln]

They are as common as dirt here in australia

[steady cove]

i ve only seen 3 mustangs in my whole life

and 1 camaro which is my dads

[misty kiln]

The reason as to why theyre so common is that they can be made from factory with a rhd conversion, all the other american muscle cars don't

[hybrid charm]

.

[onyx rivet]

i dunno if GSMV ||(holden got fucked for this)|| is counted as factory RHD conversions, but Camaros, Colorados and Silverados can be delivered to Oz

oh and the corvette

[misty kiln]

They can be delivered and converted, but at a stupid price

[onyx rivet]

i actually havnt seen how expensive the conversions are actually

that may have to do with me not actually caring

[misty kiln]

If it aint from here or made for here, its gonna be expensive

[brazen seal]

Here in Europe seeing a mustang is like seeing an exotic super car

[heady swift]

eh

[steady cove]

I know, im from europe 🤠

Here people have more porsches and audis and mercedes and bmws

[misty kiln]

"Always smeared full of oil up nearly the whole stick no matter how i wipe it and recheck" simply how? Overfilled or non-level ground?

I know that the car is used to sitting alot in the garage bcs its imported and he works mostly in switzerland, i also know that he changed the battery at some point

I ll take a photo of it once im out of the restaurant

Also if it helps the car is a 2010 camaro ss (v8)

[dry sage]

@glacial plank Right, so apparently you hate the Mk4 Supra for... whatever reason we don't even know yet.

Do you have any objective reasons to hate it?

[glacial plank]

I have plenty of reasons to hate such a shitty car

[dry sage]

Ok, name them.

[glacial plank]

Its a toyota

Its just a fat celica with barely any torque

[dry sage]

Ok. Toyota is one of the biggest automotive brands of the world.

[dry sage]

That's not an objective reason.

[glacial plank]

Toyotas are unreliable af

And rust away

[dry sage]

Most Japanese vehicles of that time have this issue.

But aside from that, their engines were durable.

[glacial plank]

Yeah cuz japanese cars suck

[dry sage]

And could withstand a lot of customization.

[dry sage]

What's a car you would recommend instead then?

[glacial plank]

Withstand customizations 😭😭

Whats so harsh doing those

It can withstand a shitty "cold air" intake 💀

[dry sage]

And about 1500 HP.

[glacial plank]

Something better like german or american

Yeah u wish

Supra had like 250hp

[dry sage]

American cars are plastic boats full of junk tech.

[glacial plank]

And if u tuned it you would need to replace the whole engine

[dry sage]

German cars are trying to become the next American cars.

[glacial plank]

Before u get even close to 400

[dry sage]

The 2JZ was fine on its own.

[glacial plank]

Bro is an actual supra kid 💀💀

[dry sage]

Replacing the engine means replacing all the other parts on it.

[glacial plank]

Supra has 1500hp 🤓🤓

[dry sage]

Not by factory.

But it can be tuned to reach it.

[glacial plank]

I can say its not worth arguing with such a fanboy

[dry sage]

German manufacturers today are heavily against that aftermarket fiddling.

[glacial plank]

Bro saw the fast and furious movies and made his personality liking shitty jdm cars😭😭

[dry sage]

What German or American car would you recommend then? @glacial plank

Name one model.

And give a reason what makes it a good car then.

[glacial plank]

Bmw z4

[dry sage]

Which generation?

There's plenty of Z4's.

And they all come with their unique quirks, such as misfires and coolant issues.

And plenty of electronic issues.

[quartz prawn]

unrelated, but i wish the new supra had the body of the ft-1 concept. it suits the supra name tag, especially resembling the long hood and the sleek body of the earlier generations

https://youtu.be/TNoJWW8jTOs

[dry sage]

That was likely the intention. But then Toyota shat itself and decided to opt for a rebadged BMW Z4 instead.

[quartz prawn]

rip, don't know why they couldn't some more r&d which would've actually paid off

[dry sage]

And every following car trend will lead to the next name being soiled for a "sporty" crossover EV "supercar" with more quirks than your average Doug DeMuro video.

[quartz prawn]

case in point the mitsubishi eclipse

☠️

man being a mitsubishi fan at this time is hard

not a lot of quirks though

just a plain goofy midsized suv

[dry sage]

Same with modern day European / US vehicles.

Everybody wants to build SUVs.

While rambling about "efficiency", my ass.

Then they cheap out on places you're not supposed to see, look at that fancy touch display though.

And all the other infotainment and comfort crap which is locked behind a subscription service.

[quartz prawn]

ah yes, the massive touchscreens which span till the passenger side

i seriously dont see any passenger using the screen provided for them

looks ugly as well, gonna age horribly

thank u lester

[dull folio]

This has to be the dumbest car discussion ever, both sides are clearly biased as fuck lol

[jagged sentinel]

At least one of them didn't result to insults

Smokey kept it mature

[dry sage]

Both sides have their ups and downs.

It's common knowledge that 90's cars had great engines for tuners - but everything else was brittle and held together by sheer luck at times.

[old sedge]

Ford: You think my cars are joke to you?

[dry sage]

Still, I would probably still consider investing into an older car, instead of some of the more modern options.

[old sedge]

[jagged sentinel]

They are lol

[dry sage]

Modern Fords? Absolutely.

[jagged sentinel]

The American car industry in the 90s was kinda weak tbh

[dry sage]

See Chrysler.

[jagged sentinel]

Huh?

[dry sage]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Chrysler performing poorly in the 90's and 00's?

Since they also owned Plymouth which was killed off, DSM was disbanded eventually.

[jagged sentinel]

They were clawing back from the jaws of bankruptcy

But I refer mostly to the performance car aspect of the industry at the time

[dry sage]

I could use a little memory jog, then.

[jagged sentinel]

The Corvette and the viper and eventually the Terminator mustangs were probably our biggest "performance cars" of the time

[dry sage]

The OG Viper was a death trap, that I know.

The C4 was a disaster to maintain, but lemme check when it came out...

[jagged sentinel]

It's always had that identity somewhat but the newer generations were a lot more refined

[dry sage]

'83, welp.

[jagged sentinel]

I mean there's the C4 ZR1 but that's arguably an 80s vehicle

A Corvette butting heads with 911s

[dry sage]

I don't think that went well.

[jagged sentinel]

The ZR1 was crazy expensive for a Corvette

The build quality wasn't up to spec for something of that price

[dry sage]

Hm, compared to the 911's at the time...

And since I don't recall much of a disaster amongst the models...

[jagged sentinel]

https://www.motortrend.com/features/c4-corvette-zr1-details-mecum-auctions

The performance was no joke

[dry sage]

Honestly, I was just peeved that this one random ass dude went ahead and said "muh issa Toyota, Toyota bad, Supras are overrated", and then went on to speak for the BMW Z4. lmao

Like, all regions have their golden stars, but I don't appreciate hating on one for no reason.

[jagged sentinel]

GM can make a hell of a car if they really try at something

[dry sage]

if

[jagged sentinel]

Yes

It isn't often the case

And most of the time it happens, it's usually named Corvette

[dry sage]

Isn't Cadillac still part of GM?

[jagged sentinel]

GM's Golden child, nothing can surpass the Corvette, the Corvette must always be the fastest

[jagged sentinel]

Yes

[dry sage]

Cause ngl, 5-year old me was thirsting over the Cien and the Sixteen concept.

[jagged sentinel]

And the other times GM makes something cool is when they break their own rules lol

[dry sage]

Shame we didn't get to see a proper supercar or hypercar... unless we're talking LMDh. lol

[dry sage]

As in, manufacturing philosophies?

[jagged sentinel]

I wouldn't expect a road hypercar from Cadillac, that isn't who they are

[jagged sentinel]

Wdym

[dry sage]

I was just asking what sorta rules they were breaking.

[dry sage]

And yeah, that ain't them.

[jagged sentinel]

They used to have these stupid rules about how powerful an engine could be based on the weight of a given vehicle

For example, there were very few 427 first gen Camaros because Chevy didn't want something to surpass the Corvette

[dry sage]

Oh right.

[jagged sentinel]

And I believe the 454 Chevelle almost didn't happen because of this mindset

And the 454 Chevelle is an icon

One of the muscle cars at the top of the food chain of the time

And I believe the most powerful production vehicle of a given year in the world for a time but that's difficult to say for sure

All these websites listing the "most powerful cars in the 70s" seemed to forget about American cars

[dry sage]

I'm usually careful when it comes to power, weight, torque and all those things.

A car with a lotta hp and cc won't do much if it weighs the same as a bus.

Neither will a car that weighs about as much as a Mini, cause you'll likely have no traction.

[jagged sentinel]

We knew damn well there was no good way to put that level of power to the ground effectively at that time

But we did it anyway because there was nobody to stop us

[dry sage]

Buuuut it likely worked in favor for some fun burnouts.

Besides, this is America in the 70's - they were pretty much unstoppable and undefeated.

[jagged sentinel]

That's half the point of a muscle car

[dry sage]

Except for that one time.

[jagged sentinel]

You're not supposed to go around a corner in a muscle car with the rear wheels at the same speed as the front wheels

At least that's what dodge seems to think

[jagged sentinel]

They were until 1973

And then the muscle car died

Thank you, EPA

[dry sage]

You will build smaller engines, and you will be happy.

[jagged sentinel]

We still tried big engines, they were just useless

Fuel injection leveled the playing field a bit too

[dull folio]

To an extent, but nowadays people think SR20 is a good and reliable engine

I feel like the sudden hype created a lot of misinformation about 90's japanese cars

[dry sage]

F&F certainly contributed to said misinformation.

[dry sage]

The engines were deffo pretty good.

[steady cove]

Well, i mean realistically the supra is a really bad bang for you money

For the price they go nowadays

U can get a mercedes or a bmw that makes the same power or more and its somehow cheaper

[onyx rivet]

Assuming you are the seller of such a car, one would not be complaining about them being that expensive

[steady cove]

What

The seller gets money for selling the car. Hows that beeing taken as expensive

What the fuck

[onyx rivet]

Thats what im saying...?

Seller sells supra, seller gets massive profits

Seller wouldnt mind it being inflated to 100k usd

[steady cove]

Thats a weird way of saying it

[misty kiln]

[steady cove]

I thought u were saying that as some type of counter to what i said

[onyx rivet]

Is that not inherently most, if not all disussions?

Plus we're on Discord, and to a larger extent, the internet

[sage roost]

Use #pc-l｜old-heist-lfg for you Bogdan heist requests.

[steady cove]

Tell him to buy a corolla gr

Thats what a good sibling would do

[kind osprey]

Why

[kind osprey]

With the unavailability and markups from the dealer it truly isn't worth it

A regular hatchback one is probably easy to get though

[vestal garnet]

Same thing with the new Type R

[steady cove]

[old sedge]

For best reliability and because I'm the Ford biggest advocate.

[sage roost]

riding bikes aint for me, too risky in a crowded city

[zinc goblet]

thats the fun part

[night steeple]

unintentional tho, new rims come in 2, i didnt wanna waste $ for just one, and most used wheels that are cheap are cheap knockoff enkei's
mismatched wheels, mismatched paint, missing center light, fuck it lol

[zinc goblet]

danger=fun

[night steeple]

took me nearly a month to heal the bruise, even in full gear

[zinc goblet]

haha ik wym i ended up being life flighted a year ago

[night steeple]

i get the fun in open roads and freeways, but the commute to work is 70% standstill traffic with cars turning when they want to

it was when i was lying on the road between 2 lanes of cars that I decided being sat in a air conditioned car is much more desirable than saving time and risking my limbs

[zinc goblet]

i still ride love it to but ik wym
