400 is nothing to scoff at in something that light

[jagged sentinel]

So slow

How do you not fall asleep

[lone geyser]

i also have the heavier one though too

[kind osprey]

ikr smh

if not 1000hp car boring

[lone geyser]

mines a vert which adds some weight

[jagged sentinel]

[lone geyser]

when it actually runs its quite a solid car for racing

[kind osprey]

My friend drives a stock Honda fit through totd quicker than Porsches so i've come to learn power isn't even in my top 3 of cares unless I am solely going in a straight line

I just want something with extremely good suspension components and as light as physically possible. if it weighs 1900 pounds I don't mind having 200hp

[lone geyser]

my e46 weighs less than my z 💀

i still plan on building up my bimmer, i dont even plan on pushing anything too crazy

the Z was to test how far i could push the vq without swapping to a 3.7

with the e46 the 2.2 > 3.0l m54 swap is completely plug and play and i can build off that

like without fully building it you can run ~300 horsepower reliably

if i really went in and full built the engine those m54 can make like 900 horsepower but at that point i may as well just get a 335i and build the n55 or get a bmw with a b58

@kind osprey curious on your opinion about upbadging IF the vehicle being upbadged has the parts to back it up

i asked one of my co workies about his opinion on it before i had my e46

where in a case of something like the outback i was daily driving not having an STI version if putting STI badges on it would be considered stolen valor if it had all the upgraded sti parts

[kind osprey]

upgrading is cool but upbadging is kinda cringe

[lone geyser]

Well thats why im asking about this specific thing

Like do you still class ot as cringe if you were to upgrade EVERYTHING to match the badges

[kind osprey]

like even if you spec it out to be as good as the higher trim (which seems more expensive than simply buying it unless it is rare af) it still isn't that trim

so it doesn't make sense to me

i'd rather keep it a sleeper

[lone geyser]

Fair

What of i downbadge my e46 after upgrading it 😂

Swap to the engine in a 330 drop my badges from 320 to 318

[swift olive]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0D11031RFA&ab_channel=Hagerty

[mental lion]

Just keep stock badges

[lone geyser]

bet this probably do be the play

[dire shard]

swap the engine to an LS drop your badges put on the D1 livery

[silent oak]

Can I LS swap miju

[dire shard]

swap with what

[silent oak]

Your brain

[dire shard]

me? 😟

broom broom

[silent oak]

Miju the machine

[dire shard]

always have been 😔

[silent oak]

Miju can I AWD swap a hellcat

[dire shard]

probably not

[silent oak]

Gimmie a reason why

[dire shard]

it's not in the spirit of 🦅 🇺🇸

[silent oak]

I’m stupid Asian girl

[dire shard]

we do be like that

[silent oak]

I want my AWD hellcat

I’d hate myself

[dire shard]

this is a prohibited 🦅 🇺🇸 thought

[silent oak]

Miju hellcat powered skyline

[dire shard]

you can't fit it in

[silent oak]

What the American mindset, adapt overcome improvise ?

[dire shard]

do everything inefficiently, progress backwards, and work for the benefit of corporations while pretending that it's for the people

whoops i mean, mo powa baby

[silent oak]

I want my 6.2 hemi skyline

Pissing off the jdms kids

[dire shard]

it doesn't fit

[silent oak]

What American v8 can fit a skyline

I don’t want no communist inline

[dire shard]

this one

https://www.instagram.com/daigosaito87/?hl=en

the time japan man put a R5P7 into a c10 skyline

[silent oak]

That’s sexy asf

No LS corvette swap ?

Sadge

[dire shard]

i mean, probably

if everyone puts LS into rx8's and s13's, you can stuff one into an r34 or some shit

but that's probably been done like twenty bashittilion times nobody cares to do it anymore

[silent oak]

70s 426 hemi wouldn’t fit

[dire shard]

no it wuddend

[silent oak]

You can buy modern 426s

[dire shard]

when am i seeing a four rotor chevelle

[silent oak]

Love the warning

Like that’s gonna stop some crazy girl from mounting it in tundra

[dire shard]

engine costs as much as a tundra

[silent oak]

God it produces 1000hp..

Should I just get a used 6.2 hellcat engine from a scrap yard

[jagged sentinel]

I love muscle cars as much as the next Detroit native but there's a limit

[lone geyser]

fuck no

i have enough GM powered cars for one lifetime

[lone geyser]

the 6.2 isnt even a hemi lmao

chrysler and its subsidaries stopped making hemi engines in 2004

and then decided to try and continue running the name because dumbass chrysler fans believe it

[silent oak]

Don’t crush my dreams I want my 6.2 skyline

Japanese body but Americanized

[lone geyser]

atp just get a bigbody

like an LS400 or something

[silent oak]

Hours labour ?

[lone geyser]

idk, not sure if a hemi would fit in an LS400 but the engine bay already houses a v8 so you'd be way closer to where youd wanna start

the thing with wanting to do somethinglike that with a skyline is skylines actually have quite small engine bays

[silent oak]

If my hemi plan don’t work, I’ll put it in a tundra

[lone geyser]

as much as i hate your mopar swap ideas an LS400 with the hellcat engine would go kinda hard ngl

[silent oak]

Ls400 coupe?

[lone geyser]

yeah, like the first gen

the VIP lexus

this big body beauty

[silent oak]

Good to know.

I like the look

[lone geyser]

the newer ones are still big body but i personally prefer this face iteration

[silent oak]

Good to know. You should know I’m a big mopar fan

Even down to the shitty ones

[lone geyser]

i know youre a big mopar fan lmao

[silent oak]

I’m talking about you pt cruiser

[lone geyser]

LMAO

[silent oak]

Atleast your useful salvage

[lone geyser]

when i worked as a tech for Kia our receptionist drove a PT cruiser

[silent oak]

My hatred for the pt cruiser is only lessened when I see a Prius or Nissan juke

[lone geyser]

me and anothe rtech were working in out lil nissan products and she was like throwing a fit or something about her pt costing triple the price to fix the problem

and then tried to use "my boyfriend drives a tesla" as some kind of flex 💀

[silent oak]

That’s the weirdest flex but sure

[lone geyser]

like

[silent oak]

It’s like saying “my friend drives a Buick”

Your not making your case better

[lone geyser]

my 350z has like 400k miles
the other techs g35 has around 250k

they've long outlasted any tesla and both cars were beat on 😭

[lone geyser]

this would have at least has SOME push

[silent oak]

Is a tundra a good pickup truck

I saw a tundra on a Toyota lot and I was enamored

[lone geyser]

iirc tundras are like some of the best multi use pickups on the road

esp for gas pickups

[silent oak]

Can I drive to Montana in snow in one?

[lone geyser]

probably

[silent oak]

I have an in stage planning Montana trip

[lone geyser]

toyota being overbuilt my beloved

[silent oak]

They are turbo v6s..

Used to have v8 tundras

[lone geyser]

1999 tundra with a million miles 10k past its its oil service

all the oil still clean

[silent oak]

New tundras with old tundra durability

[lone geyser]

toyota is bringing back the 5.7 v8 for tundras sometime in the near future

maybe

[silent oak]

They really should

Supercharged v8 tundra

The tundra sport

[lone geyser]

the TRD

[silent oak]

Tr deez nuts

[lone geyser]

More v8 prod trucks should have been factory supercharged ngl

like the nissan frontier v6 had a supercharged option

but i wanna big ol Titan with one

[silent oak]

But who remembers the frontier

And the ridgeline

Ewww

[lone geyser]

the frontier is goated

[silent oak]

Is it the American hilux

[lone geyser]

no because the hilux was in america too

it was marketed as "toyota pickup"

thats it, thats was the name

[silent oak]

Toyota pickup v8!!

[lone geyser]

Totota better pick up the v8

i mis ssmall body trucks

mazda b22
nissan d21 hardbody
hilux pickup

i want a d21 so bad but it cant tow anything

[silent oak]

I want a Chevy k body truck

A k10

[lone geyser]

i have a c/k body :3

my beloved c10

[silent oak]

I wish I had one..

What gen is cheapest ..

[lone geyser]

the gen before mine starts at like high 6

the gen i own seems to start at ~mid 7

[silent oak]

So a girl with bad spending habits gets one..

Aha

[lone geyser]

yeah!

ive had mine since i was 17

[silent oak]

I had a car at 19… then my license expired

[lone geyser]

Got my first at 14 then it got stolen, then i bought my Z at 16 and have just been gathering more my license expired at one point and i just kept buying 😂

[silent oak]

I didn’t need a license in Japan

@lone geyser

I found an engine swap you'd like

[jagged sentinel]

[lone geyser]

K24 my beloved

[paper heath]

its difficult to fathom how fast the tire spins here

because

the lego tires have to spin REALLY FAST to start expanding

like

in the tens of thousands of revolutions per minute

for reference

if driving at 60 miles per hour or about 100 kilometers per hour

21' wheels spin at 576 1,600 revolutions per minute

lets take the jesko absolute for example

its top speed is 330mph and its shipped with michelin cup 2 tires which are 20'/21' on front and back

if you push the car to its limits, the front wheel would spin at around 3,327 5,544 revolutions per minute

dont get me wrong

thats big

but the speeds people push lego tires to are like, actually big

they are smaller and lightweight for their scale, but still

wait was everything i just said bs

ill actually double check my calculations

uuuh

yea i calculated it wrong in my head

[paper heath]

what

[static gale]

i love how there's just nothing past half throttle

[slate harness]

I miss D21s.

[echo ether]

god almighy 30k for an engine

1000hp is nice and all

but lord

[silent oak]

I’d pay that for a resto mod car project, spend some on a nice chassis or frame

Like a hellcat motor in an old Pontiac firebird Plymouth road runner

Someone just got the deal of the century on an elise last week

There was a title issue but still $29500 is insane today

[nova estuary]

Score

[kind osprey]

If he gets the title thing cleared this is a $40,000+ car overnight

[nova estuary]

Until it needs to be serviced

[kind osprey]

These are cheap af to maintain

Only expensive parts are the clamshell and fenders

[nova estuary]

I thought a 20 year old British sports car would be pricey

I guess idk about the Elise specifically

[kind osprey]

There isn't much British about this car

The whole powertrain is a 1.8 liter Toyota

[nova estuary]

Ohhh gotcha

I never was into the Elise for whatever reason.

Probably because I'd never fit

[kind osprey]

Seeing them as a kid I always thought they were 6 figure cars

[nova estuary]

Yeah same

[kind osprey]

They looked like supercars

But when you see them in person they are miata size

xD

[nova estuary]

Yeah I couldn't believe how small they are in person

[kind osprey]

At least a Lamborghini Gallardo is the length of a Toyota Corolla

But the elise was just another level of tiny

[nova estuary]

Like a kei car

[kind osprey]

All the sporty kei cars are overpriced and hard to find in amazing condition unfortunately

The kei pickups are funny though

[nova estuary]

Yeah for sure. People who love them really love them and pay crazy

[kind osprey]

The Autozam is the kei car holy grail

If I won a shit ton of money I would love to sin a bunch of money into that car and make it a track monster

It weighs like 1500 pounds so imagine like 190-220 hp in that

Wider tires

More downforce

Stock them come with about 65hp

[nova estuary]

Haha the tires would be looking like modded F1s

[kind osprey]

Because kei cars had to be 0.6l

[nova estuary]

The thing would look nothing like an autozam after it's ready to be a track monster I feel like

Can't fight physics

[onyx rivet]

i would never put the two cars together but now that if you pointed it out, its quite an unnerving thought

[kind osprey]

Wdym

[kind osprey]

A car that weighs only 1500 pounds isn't fighting physics, it is teaming up with physics

Brake fade would be non existent, tires would take forever to wear, you would never run out of grip on a sharp corner

The only downside of low hp super light cars is lack of straight line top speed

It is why something like the Lotus elise is so desirable to me

[kind osprey]

Yea fr, for supercars we tend to make them larger than life in our heads but when I get the chance to see something like a Huracan in person up close for extended periods of time you get to see how small they actually are

I go to a hand car wash where there are no machines or anything like that and behind my car was a green Huracan evo

So I got to stare at it for 20 minutes lol

I would love to drive one again but planning a track day for a car like that takes a lot of time prep

[nova estuary]

I was talking about the Autozam

[kind osprey]

Yes, a car that only weighs 1500 pounds is the opposite of fighting with physics

Putting more power in a car improves speed, making a car lighter improves everything

This is a stock out the box one

And this is one someone modified

Lighter wider rims, wider track tires, probably more power. Even pushing 12ohp in those is a thrill

And it has some time attack style aero bits

[whole ginkgo]

@naive thorn hi!

Cars

Engine

Wheels

[naive thorn]

Why so rude

My car is a 1.3 L 2007 Toyota yaris

It can reach 0-100 in 3 minutes

[whole ginkgo]

Get me a opel meriva

Or renault clio

Or opel corsa

[naive thorn]

These are terrible

[whole ginkgo]

Excuse me

[naive thorn]

I would rather buy a picanto atp

[whole ginkgo]

@vagrant tangle look at this bullshit

[vagrant tangle]

Renault Clio is a beautiful car

[nova estuary]

I figured it'd be similar to tiny car engine swaps from forza

[silent oak]

It’s French so naur

[vagrant tangle]

Yeah I was gonna say that then I lost the transportation channel

So I gave up

[silent oak]

Fuck French cars ~:3

rimac is originally croatian and became a joint venture

[silent oak]

It’s the car Hammond crashed

Though fault of his own

[jagged sentinel]

And?

Drives a Chiron regularly

[lone geyser]

they arent french they just work with french people

[silent oak]

French are good for one thing, cigarette sales

[lone geyser]

thats new york and new york specifically.

not even french just americans closer to france

[silent oak]

They share the same traits, shitty accent

EY IM WALK-IN ERE

[lone geyser]

Walk-in 💔

alright doctor i wont make an appointment then

[silent oak]

I’ll prescribe you cigarettes and monster energy

The typical bmw driver imo

[lone geyser]

i stopped drinking monster

and energy drinks in general

i used to go through like 8 in a day

i will take those cigarettes though, those are expensive

[lone geyser]

unlike the typical bmw driver i know what the green arrows on the dash mean and how to use them :)

[silent oak]

So you don’t need to take yoir car to the dealer after seeing it click

[lone geyser]

i dont even take mine to the dealer for stuff only the dealer should be able to do 💀

i could sit in the yard and reprogram the entire car if i wanted to

[silent oak]

Not fun

[night steeple]

i improved the new testosterone

[naive thorn]

What's that

Looks ugly

[silent oak]

Testarosa if modern Ferrari made it

[night steeple]

thats actually what it is, ferrari called this the testarossa

[silent oak]

Oh god it looks.. atrocious

It looks like a fxx k had a child with a testarosa

[night steeple]

could've at least given us the iconic side vents

[silent oak]

Or classic styling

[nova estuary]

They really need Pininfarina back doing the design

[silent oak]

Fxx k but street legal

[lone geyser]

Bet someone here will get some kicks from this thing

[silent oak]

And or take it to the demo derby

[lone geyser]

Its a fucking custom tour bus

I disagree with the engine choice but i still think its sick

[silent oak]

Take it to the demo derby after the tour is over

Send it out with a bang

[lone geyser]

You can reuse busses suki

Idk if you know this but we dont replace busses every day 🤣

[silent oak]

Taking your bmw to the demo derby

I’d pay to see it

[lone geyser]

Id get more than i paid for it on a theft claim LMAO

[silent oak]

I’d love to take an srt 8 charger to a demo derby

[chilly dew]

I need help for report

[silent oak]

Not da chat

[lone geyser]

As much as i hate mopars, given those things are actual rolling boats i bet with some front end reinforcements they’d probably do quite well

[silent oak]

And it’s an 200 something ugly charger

[lone geyser]

These are stupid cheap here

[silent oak]

How much.

I want an SRT8 challenger

[lone geyser]

I see them on average for like 3 grand

[silent oak]

Not charger they look stupid

Challenger sexy

[lone geyser]

Challenger expensive

[silent oak]

How much

Is it less then 15k

[lone geyser]

Its like 15k on the dot for like ~08 ish like that gen

Pre HelloKitty lights

[silent oak]

The challenger srt8 is my dream car

despite its problems and lifter ticks

I’d work on it like it’s my child

[lone geyser]

Me with literally every vehicle ive ever owned

[silent oak]

Ima treat my future hellcat like it’s my child

[lone geyser]

As you should with any vehicle you find objectively nice

[silent oak]

I want a 2023 hellcat last call

[lone geyser]

My Z and bmw are both shitboxes but i dont even let them see the winter seasons

I put the Z away for rain 💀

Bad z

He’s in the time out place

Its just ripped because fuckin convertible things

Make it a topless z then

[lone geyser]

God no

Weight reduction 💀

[silent oak]

Time to strip my cars interior and make it race engine

Hope I don’t cut my wrist open trying to take apart a mopar dash

[tropic timber]

that Subaru on the back needs to chill with the stickers

[silent oak]

Does it have a vape nation sticker

[tropic timber]

Just open the door

if it smells like watermelon ice

[silent oak]

Challengers have vape fan base too

But those who vape in a challenger are the cheap SXT

[lone geyser]

The irony of subarus and stickers

I had an 07 outback for a bit and it was covered in stickers when i bought it

[lone geyser]

Im taking out ~100lbs worth of tools 💀💀

[silent oak]

Ahaha

[lone geyser]

Debating on pulling the back seats too

[silent oak]

Roll cage?

[lone geyser]

Nah, its like a 100 lb cut if you tear out the factory leathers

My leather fronts are like 85 lbs each too

[silent oak]

I love my alcantara leather

Can’t take it out

[lone geyser]

Im opting for ZHP cloth seats

They are lighter than m3 seats and comfy because they arent buckets

Can stop burning my thighs every time i sit down too

[silent oak]

I live for Alcantara

[lone geyser]

Pretty sure the zhp seats are alcantara 🙃

one of the sport interiors

[silent oak]

Might buy hellcat seats for my ride

[lone geyser]

So you can be incredibly uncomfortable the entire time? 🤣

Ive driven a few those seats feel terrible

I honestly prefer the milk crate that i had as the drivers seat in my old van over those 💀

[silent oak]

Better then base rt seats

I’m pretty sure, SXT gt and rt are running same seats on base package

[lone geyser]

every time i look at them stupid overpriced boats i forget just how much of them is cheap fucking plastic

[silent oak]

Ik but gt has an AWD trim

And AWD makes me act up

[lone geyser]

AWD is a negative LMAO

[silent oak]

I live in the mid west..

[lone geyser]

imagine buying a "sports car" and then going for the worse gas mileage option

[silent oak]

An rt rwd is enough but

[lone geyser]

especially ona car literally made for doing donuts

[silent oak]

I’m not looking for millege in challenger..

[lone geyser]

until you need to fill up the car 4 times a week

my outback was a 2.5l 4 cylinder AWD

barely drove the damn thing, always needed gas

[silent oak]

My rt thirsty

[lone geyser]

meanwhile my e46 would go foot to the floor for a weeks worth of driving before hitting the point where i decide it needs gas

[silent oak]

I’m looking American only cars in the Midwest

[lone geyser]

looking for modern american cars to begin with is your first mistake

[silent oak]

Modern f150 Beauty

[lone geyser]

no

they arent terrible looking but they've gone backwards

[silent oak]

I’m into American muscle specifically

[lone geyser]

congratulations everything you want advertises features as new that german and japanese cars have had for a decade now

[silent oak]

Like i really care..

[lone geyser]

well obviously you dont, ypu like overpaying for cheap garbage

wait 10 years and buy it at whats its really worth

[silent oak]

I love me American mustangs

[lone geyser]

i will admit the s650s get me a little giddy

factory line lock go brrrrr

[silent oak]

If someone offers me a challenger srt im taking the offer

They boat but I Love em

[lone geyser]

these literally come with a burnout button 😩 🤤

[silent oak]

Me likey

[lone geyser]

line lock kits for other cars are cheap

like the aftermarket kits

most brands dont offer locks from factory

[silent oak]

Ehehe

Yes

[lone geyser]

im gonna get a kit for my e46, my dash has a bunch of fake button spots that need to be filled

[silent oak]

Challengers appeal to me because they kept the heritage of the og

[lone geyser]

and i promised my co workers id do a burnout when i buy new tires

[lone geyser]

up until the charger became a challenger and then they made it electric 💀

[silent oak]

I still love my challengers

I’m still in the market for a high performance one

[lone geyser]

just buy an RT and build itttttt

[silent oak]

Eh an hellcat appeals to me

[lone geyser]

like this is genuine advice, you'll get more for less with building an RT into a hellcat than you will buying a hellcat

the supercharger off a Hellokitty is like 3 grand used

[silent oak]

Can I supercharge a rt to get more

whooos

[lone geyser]

yeah

im pretty sure that specific supercharger bolts right on too

[silent oak]

How much compared to a used clean title 2018 hellcat?

[lone geyser]

hellcats have clean titles off the lot?

[silent oak]

In Az I found some

[lone geyser]

hellcat clean titles exist?

[lone geyser]

i dont look at mopars and when i do i get a family discount ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[silent oak]

Yeah

[lone geyser]

even then you could probably find a totalled hellcat and just rip the engine out for a swap abd it'd be much cheaper

[silent oak]

I like hellcats myself

Been in one

[lone geyser]

the MSRP for the R/T was $32,000 cheaper

thats a LOT of money to just make a better car

[silent oak]

I fucking want a red eye

This is my favorite hellcat variant

[lone geyser]

paying an extra 30+ grand for 300 more horsepower is crazy

[silent oak]

Idk I just like the red eye, it’s aggressive and love its design

I’m the mopar fan..

[lone geyser]

yeah we know

[silent oak]

I’ve seen a 70s challenger In my native country of Japan

[lone geyser]

you say it as much as the scratched nickleback cd in my Z skips

[silent oak]

Nyoo~ boomer

[lone geyser]

im 21.

[silent oak]

Unc

I’m 24

[lone geyser]

boomer

[silent oak]

Damn it I’ll play my j pop and cry in my car

[lone geyser]

wanna go coffin shopping with me since we're both over the hill and dead already?

[silent oak]

Maybe. Can my coffin be a z06 corvette?

Or a dodge viper

[lone geyser]

the irony that buying an older viper is essentially a coffin on wheels is funny to me

ill allow it

[silent oak]

You sold me

[lone geyser]

the no safety features is funny for a car like that because you know whoever dies in it is most likely becoming part of the car in a crash

[silent oak]

I legit want a first gen viper but realize I’m in the Midwest

[lone geyser]

the newer ones are kinda watered down

i drove a 2016 viper ACR once

[silent oak]

The viper ACR track is nice

They are still powerful

Not your average track car

[lone geyser]

yeah but all the charm of the viper was not having safety

[silent oak]

But you can’t say it’s not pretty

It’s a gorgeous piece of art

[lone geyser]

it is a very good looking car yeah

that is my favorite bodystyle of the viper

[silent oak]

Same with most dodge cars

Except the fucking pre face lift chargers

FUCK EM

What’s your favorite track / street car

[lone geyser]

im gonna be completely honest with this one bias aside

the Hellokity era charger/challengers do have a very respectable styling

[silent oak]

My bias towards dodge is based on my time in the American car scene

[lone geyser]

i hate them with a passion for trying to be something they arent but id be lying if i said i dont still look over at the newer one when i see em in traffic

[silent oak]

I love em cuz they are pretty muscle cars

[lone geyser]

define this, like a track car that is street legal or?

or just a favorite for both categories?

[silent oak]

Gt3 rs, street legal track car

It can be both

[lone geyser]

ah okay

hard to pick a favorite ngl, ive driven a lot of cars so i dont really like to go off just styling

[silent oak]

My favorite is the glorious bmw m4

As much as I give bmw shit for being over complicated

They can make a pretty car

Same with dodge

I give DODGE so much shit for their interior

[lone geyser]

dont get me started with bmw overcomplications 😂

[silent oak]

I like the m4 comp

[lone geyser]

my e46 is 22 years old and has like 13 ecus

im pretty sure my fucking headlights have their own ecu 💀

[silent oak]

Fucking a

And Mercedes will start to use bmw engines

SOOO MORE GERMAN OVERCOMPLICATION

[lone geyser]

depending on what engines they choose to use that could be good or bad

as ive mentioned before bmw i6's are surprisingly solid when left how bmw makes em

[silent oak]

The one in the m4 comp?

[night steeple]

I just really dont like the new bmw and merc designs

maybe aside from their performance models

[silent oak]

I like the modern m4 comp

[lone geyser]

i agree with this too, i think bmw fell off ages ago and mercedes body styling on most cars never really appealed to me past 2009

i wanted to get an 09 c350 at one point, still kinda do

[silent oak]

The m4 has a certain beauty to it

The curves

The way the aggressive front end

[lone geyser]

can i tell you a secret suki?

[silent oak]

Yes.

[lone geyser]

the m4 is just an m3 but slightly different

[silent oak]

And cooler

[lone geyser]

meh

[silent oak]

I’m into performance cars

[lone geyser]

i mean this is fair

thats really fair

[silent oak]

I like fast cars

[night steeple]

i want to like the audi avant but their tires are so large, how to even pothole?

[lone geyser]

you can put smaller tires on cars...

[silent oak]

I’m scared that my car will slip on the black ice of the winter season

[lone geyser]

the m3 is also a performance car lmao

[silent oak]

Remember, I’m in the not to reveal my location.. but upper north central near Canada

Once my cars battery crapped out at 2 am, while i was driving in the snow

Fog plus snow

FUN

[lone geyser]

you dont need a battery to drive

[silent oak]

I was 23 scared at 2am

You think I was thinking straight

[lone geyser]

until the alternator goes too lmao

[mystic wharf]

Yo

[silent oak]

Keep in mind, this was in December

HEAVY snow fall

[lone geyser]

to answer this since i havent, for like track oriented out of the shit ive driven like the 2017 ford gt probably

for street track idk my bmw is pretty nice

[silent oak]

You had the chance to drive one?

Nice

[lone geyser]

yeh

[silent oak]

I had a chance in Vegas to drive a demon 170

[lone geyser]

we had a lot of crazy trade ins when i worked for kia

[silent oak]

safe to say.. I’m in love

[lone geyser]

someone traded in a hellcat redeye for a 22 sorento 💀

[silent oak]

God

I’d buy his red eye on the spot

[lone geyser]

oh and he came back and traded an RT durango the next day for another fucking sorento

[silent oak]

Rich people Annoy me

[lone geyser]

like on my personal rankins dodge isnt much higher than the korean shitmobiles when it comes to value > vehicle

but like thats a signifigant downgrade

[silent oak]

I hate Kia with a passion

[lone geyser]

same!

[silent oak]

They left the stinger their only cool car

[lone geyser]

and they used to pay me!

[silent oak]

I’d rather be in a basic corolla then a Kia

[lone geyser]

even this is kind of a push for the value

[silent oak]

Atleast the Corolla would be worth something to some idiot kid

[lone geyser]

you can get a used r35 GTR for around the same price range that does everything better

than the stinger

[lone geyser]

the corolla would outlive the kid, and their kids

[silent oak]

Until I take it to the gun range and offer it as target practice

Which I would

[lone geyser]

you'd be fucking surprised at what those things can take

[silent oak]

I’m half tempted to get a Corolla for just.. shooting it

[lone geyser]

theres a video of a dude driving like 50 miles in an old corolla or camry with no oil pan or valve cover and no oil (obviously)

and it still made it to the destination 💀

[silent oak]

Not good..

But decent

I wouldn’t be caught dead in one

[lone geyser]

i wouldnt drive one personally aside from the customer cars at work but like they are reliable as shit

i prefer my cars broken personally 😂

[silent oak]

My car in Japan was a smoll one

[lone geyser]

im curious if you have an answer to this

[silent oak]

Hmm?

[lone geyser]

because as an american a lot of us that like tuners love RHD cars right

[silent oak]

Yee. Jdm feel

[lone geyser]

is there a similar thing in japan as a market for LHD cars>

[silent oak]

American car fans in Japan

BIG market

[lone geyser]

i always wanted to know if there was like an appeal for the boats over there

[silent oak]

Harley’s are Huge in Japan

[silent oak]

No there

Is

[lone geyser]

harleys are huge in america too 💀

[silent oak]

Remembers to Japanese, American imports were expensive emissions, Japan regs

They see American cars as cool like Americans see authentic Jdm as cool

[lone geyser]

huh, neat

[silent oak]

That’s why I got a boat of a car..

It’s cool and intresting

[lone geyser]

ive had a few boat cars

[silent oak]

Not happy with basic cars imo

[lone geyser]

honestly i think more dodges deserved the hellcat engines ngl

like as a factory trim

ive seen swapped chrysler 300s but a factory luxury bigbody with a hellcat engine would go hard

[silent oak]

Yeah I wish

[lone geyser]

same with like

i used to have a 2008 magnum RT

big ol wagon

wouldve been cool if those got some big boi engines

[silent oak]

I want a 426 hemi car tho

[lone geyser]

the hemi was discontinued in 2003 🙃

[silent oak]

I want a old 426 hemi fucking challenger

[lone geyser]

oh LMAO

[silent oak]

The 70s

I want one

Idc how bad they are

[lone geyser]

one thing i will give to dodge

some of those factory colors go fucking crazy

[silent oak]

I want it in sublime green or plum crazy

[lone geyser]

plum crazy on a hellcat redeye

[silent oak]

My ideal is a 426 hemi challenger with panther pink

[lone geyser]

THIS

[silent oak]

I need

This girl needs that car

[lone geyser]

if i EVER wanted to buy one

id be just like that

but with the older hgellcat style wheels

[silent oak]

Agree~

[lone geyser]

im not a fan of the newer wheel design

[silent oak]

I don’t mind

It’s sexy

[lone geyser]

i dont mind them but like i dont like them either personally

they feel very neutral to me

i liked these ones way better

[silent oak]

Look good for a rim tho

[dire shard]

yea i like these wheels more

[silent oak]

It’s so indicative of the era yes

[dire shard]

i thought i was proficient at this language but i have no clue what you just said

[silent oak]

[lone geyser]

honestly the kids racing straight piped civics at 3 am are less anoying

[dire shard]

it's the work on cars curse
i got out of there, my back doesn't hurt as much anymore 😎

[silent oak]

Aaah same

[lone geyser]

even if i stopped working on cars im a tire tech my day, that aint nevewr stopping 💀

[lone geyser]

west coast

[dire shard]

bruh doing tires was like half of hte pain

[silent oak]

Oh so you get the worst of it.

[dire shard]

why do truck wheels weigh so fckin muchh

[silent oak]

Here in my north central..

We get chill MCs

[lone geyser]

i did a fuckin 4 tire rebalance on a 2021 d150 today, not only were they heavy as shit but they absolutely paid some meth head to balance them

like tf is this? 😭

[dire shard]

lmfao that time i had to balance and some mfker put weights on opposite sides like, what's the point idiot

[lone geyser]

counter balance like crazy

[silent oak]

Eventually I want to work on Baja trucks

[lone geyser]

did an x6M today on a rebalance after that f150

[dire shard]

i see it was workout day for you

[lone geyser]

right front had weights all around the wheel 💀

full circle of 1oz weights

[dire shard]

wtf

[silent oak]

Damn b

[lone geyser]

work order said "vibration in steering wheel at speed"

YEAH NO SHIT

[dire shard]

💀 yea i bet

[lone geyser]

like youd actually get less vibration for driving with completely unbalanced wheels

[dire shard]

"the added weights provide grip 🤓"

[silent oak]

Imagine having to align a semi truck wheel

God forgive me

[lone geyser]

semi allignments dont look that bad honestly

[silent oak]

Semi wheel replacements tho

[lone geyser]

they use cranes

and like lifts

you dont carry those lmao

[paper heath]

im not into hellcats but this is hot

[dire shard]

my boss did box trucks
the absolute unit of an impact gun he brings out whenever one shows up

minigun looking thing

[lone geyser]

YESSS we have one too

have you seen the fucking size of the comercial torque wrenches?

[silent oak]

I hate the idea of working on a semi

[lone geyser]

you need two people to efficiently do a retorque

[silent oak]

My frail body would break

I’m short.. not big

[dire shard]

i struggled with e-golf wheels, you ain't seeing me near a box truck

[silent oak]

So don’t be a golf club employee either

[lone geyser]

i struggle with my bmw wheels 💀

lug bolts pain me

studs superior

[dire shard]

ugHHHHHHHHHHH FUCK LUG BOLTS

[lone geyser]

german cars and like an entire gen of Jeep Cherokees

[dire shard]

not only is the wheel heavy as shit but you have to get it on there exactly and shift it around so the holes line up

[lone geyser]

yepp

[dire shard]

get it on that tiny little ledge

and then it falls off while you're shifting it and you have to hurt your back all over again

i don't want a german car 😭

[lone geyser]

i wanna swap out my lug bolts for studs

i like my german car i just hate needing to put tires back on

[silent oak]

I screwed my back doing a truck torque on wheel

[dire shard]

yea i can't count the amount of times i'm torquing something and feel something go oop in my back

[silent oak]

Same.. same mijuu -

[lone geyser]

i havent had that yet, i might still have a good week left in me before that happens

[dire shard]

just go slowly 😭

[lone geyser]

i have this other complication where well... im tiny

165 ft-lbs on the torque wrench can be hard to put down sometimes

[silent oak]

Don’t be an idiot and say it’s a quick job

[lone geyser]

fuck you GM for 165 factory spec

[silent oak]

God fuck

[lone geyser]

i dont think they use it on newer trucks anymore

but like the early 2000s sierras and silverados were brutal

the ones with the 22mm lugs

[silent oak]

Still want a truck tho

Even if it kills my back quick

[lone geyser]

i have to restrain myself from standing on the torque wrench to put that force down most times

[silent oak]

Torque gun

[lone geyser]

hand tools are superior

[dire shard]

i seen my coworker full on bouncing on his breaker bar before

he got balls

[lone geyser]

i do this all the time

[dire shard]

i don't feel secure enough to even stand on it

[lone geyser]

i broke 4 one one truck during a brake job 💀

[dire shard]

[lone geyser]

buddy covered all his studs in locktite

liek not a little bit on each

they were full drenched before the bolts went on

[dire shard]

which previous brake failure traumatized him

[silent oak]

Same!!

[lone geyser]

brake failure traumatized him so much he wanted to keep those wheels on and grind them down to nothing

like if you come in asking to get all your brakes and rotors done

maybe you should idk expect the wheels to be possible to take off?

[silent oak]

How do you do a brake job on a daully truck

[lone geyser]

like sir excuse me while i replace half your suspension instead

[lone geyser]

take the wheels off and service the brakes

[silent oak]

So 4 at the back

[lone geyser]

no-

each back wheel doesnt have an individual brake

a dually literally just has extra long studs to fit a second wheel on there-

[dire shard]

😭 wait, he put locktite on the wheel studs? i thought this was like, caliper bolts

[lone geyser]

yeah he put them on the wheel studs

[dire shard]

wut daheel

[silent oak]

My mate had a truck with bolts covered in locktite on the seats

[lone geyser]

and promptly replaced every breaker bar i broke intop of the already massive service bill

[silent oak]

Holy shit I hated the bolts

[dire shard]

anyways, omw to find a job where i don't need to work on some old lady's rusted corolla

[silent oak]

Yap on~ interested

[lone geyser]

its a walmart door greeter position

only requirement is you have to wear a helmet for the entire shift

[dire shard]

walmart door greeter? they call that a security guard nowadays

[lone geyser]

walmart can afford security?

[dire shard]

if they can afford druggies coming in to steal their shit

[lone geyser]

my local walmart just has a police car sitting outside the door constantly

he waves at me when i go shopping

(i put his tires on)

[dire shard]

damn, he found the secret to a maxed out quota

spawncamp them

[lone geyser]

Spawncamping a socal walmart

[dire shard]

could be worse

still waiting for them to spawncamp dtes

[lone geyser]

they gotta camp outside the old food bank location

the new food bank is like a block away but the old building is now just tweaker hq

[dire shard]

please, they simply reclaimed the property

[lone geyser]

more like they gained squatters rights

it was a donut shop before it was a food bank

[dire shard]

sorry suki we're trauma bonding 💀

[silent oak]

It’s ok

[lone geyser]

@jagged sentinel the pimpmobile forklift

New car

Yippe

[silent oak]

Nice,

[naive thorn]

Niice you actually bought it

Congrats

[silent oak]

What is it,

[steady cove]

2025 qashqai

One of the few 1.2 gas manuals too

[silent oak]

I could make a top gear joke about it

[steady cove]

Doit

[naive thorn]

Is it hybrid

[steady cove]

Naur its fully gas

[naive thorn]

[steady cove]

Hybrid manual

[naive thorn]

Y knot

[silent oak]

Qashquis are driven by people who have no mechanical knowledge

[naive thorn]

[silent oak]

Same with the Juke

[steady cove]

Checks out

[naive thorn]

No knowledge

[silent oak]

Atleast the Nissan juke is rightfully hated

[steady cove]

Most people that know about cars dont buy brand new cars either

We bought a brand new qashqais

WOOO

[silent oak]

My gal pal got a new CRV..

It’s basic white girl car but not as much as the bronco

[fast edge]

1.2 man what the hell

[steady cove]

150hp

More than enough for the city

Anything more is just wastefull

[silent oak]

Laughs at me in 375 hp

That’s not enough

[steady cove]

It is im european

[silent oak]

I’m American (Japanese nationality)

We have PLENTY of fast cars overseas in my home country, and boring

Like my old Suzuki swift, that bitch was the worst thing I drove

[steady cove]

The nissan qashqai is kinda meh reliability wise but it should be fine for a low milleage car for the city. We wanted a high 4 seater with space gas manual

What suv are you even finding with a manual gas in 2025 besides mazdas

Mazda is really outdated here

[silent oak]

I wish I had a damn secondary car

That was worse on gas then my baby

[steady cove]

Get some beater

Corolla

Wait worst? Wtf

[silent oak]

I said something with worse mpg then 16 mpg

[steady cove]

Why 😭

[silent oak]

Gas is cheap in my state

[steady cove]

Get some car with a v10

[silent oak]

3 dollars a gallon

[steady cove]

Some saabs also drink gas

The 1.9s

[silent oak]

I’m looking for a mustang gt

[steady cove]

Didnt you already have a mustango

[silent oak]

Dodge chal rt

It’s horrible on millege

But idc

You don’t buy a muscle car and complain about mpg

[steady cove]

Sell it

Buy nissan qashqai

[silent oak]

Naur I’d rather buy a Nissan juke

I’d be more accepting of my fate in a juke

[silent oak]

You mean Cadillac Escalade

It’s not “suki sized” but it’s aura is so nice

[steady cove]

Thats expensive

Cars are so expensive now

[silent oak]

I’m looking at a luxary autos dealership in my state

[steady cove]

How much do you want to put in a car

[steady cove]

White 😭

Im so racist

[silent oak]

I’m a princess~

[steady cove]

Its gotta be black be so fr.

Somehow that escalade is very cheap

Was expecting a 50k~ car

100k new

40k in america hmmmmmm

[silent oak]

This is in my state which is cheap

A 2024 bmw 3 series is 50k

Around the same price as a Cadillac ct4

[steady cove]

Get a used ct4 v

Lol

If you bring it out in white im comitting arson

[silent oak]

I do want a ct5 but it’s around 60k

It’s suki sized

[real trench]

Okay genuine question for everyone. Realistically what's your aboslute favorite 80s car? Mine is the Dodge Charger Daytona Turbo Z. It's just a little front wheel drive hatch back that would run with the v8 mustangs and camaros of the time.

[silent oak]

De Tomaso Pantera

[waxen narwhal]

our 3 new New Flyer XDE40 buses :3

[silent oak]

It’s a bus.

[real trench]

W choice!

[silent oak]

Ford motor, Italian styling

[waxen narwhal]

thats like going up to any car and saying "its a car."

[silent oak]

It’s going to the f40 and saying it’s just a car!

[static gale]

it's not wrong

[waxen narwhal]

its like going up to a house and saying its just a house!!

[silent oak]

Atleast house can’t move

[waxen narwhal]

ohhh

[silent oak]

Rvs are cars not homes

[jagged sentinel]

1987 Buick Regal GNX

Easily the coolest American car of the 1980s

[real trench]

Brilliant choice!!!!

[jagged sentinel]

GM perplexes me

[sage roost]

ALL I EVER WANTED WAS A BLACK GRAND NATIONAL 🗣️

[jagged sentinel]

They are somehow the most boring company out of the big 3 with regard to fun-for-the-sake-of-it products (like the Ford Raptor range and RTR, or pretty much anything SRT ever touched) but they also made some of the most impressive performance cars to come from America

It was them who did the first American car that could actually hang with the European performance big dawgs (C4 Corvette ZR-1) and also the GNX

And on the other side of that, they made the stupid fucking 2019+ blazer, and Ford made that sting even more with the Bronco

[jagged sentinel]

🗣️

[jagged sentinel]

And also they're bringing back the Camaro as an electric-only SUV, and I sincerely hope with every fiber of my being that this doesn't spell the death of the actual Camaro

The mustang was still doing well for itself when the Mach E was introduced and they said themselves that they'll make manual (!!!) V8 mustangs until the heat death of the universe

And Chrysler... they're in a bit of an identity crisis at the moment, so who the hell knows what they're going to do

[dire shard]

all chevy had to do was not stop making the camaro

[kind osprey]

My brain: 2020? Who put 90,000 miles on this in 3 years???
Realizing 2020 was the latter half of 5 years ago

[silent oak]

It’s sexy tho

Not suki sized tho

[kind osprey]

It looks old

Like when I see that style of escalade my mind thinks 2017-2018

[silent oak]

Other options at the luxury auto site are bmw

[kind osprey]

But hey, you get a $100,000 car for $40k

Too bad it is a gm product

[silent oak]

It’s cool aura farming

[quasi lava]

Tokyo, Ginza area

[sage roost]

Honestly I hate to say it but GM cooked with the design of the current Escalade

the pre-facelift specifically

Just looks so much better than the previous generation it's not even close

[silent oak]

It execudes “class” and I’m better then you

That’s why I want one

Strokes my small ego

[dire shard]

sick

last time i was there, they had the disaster support mobile hub on display

genuinely one of the coolest things i've seen, and a great way to reuse old leaf batteries

[silent oak]

That’s a cool Nissan zed

[kind osprey]

I've seen those gtr daytime running lights patterns on so many clapped out old Infiniti's that it completely ruins the look for me

[silent oak]

I saw a gtr driving in my state before :3

Best looking Nissan

Nissan gtr hack. How to buy a brand new gtr for $45,000

Step one, buy one from 2009

Step two: enjoy your brand new gtr

[onyx rivet]

Buick Regal Grand National or the BMW M3
either please, im not fussy

[onyx rivet]

twinning fr

[dire shard]

i saw an r34 riding on super advan racing three spokes today and while i would never have thought to put three spokes on anything like that, it was actually hella fire

[fast edge]

three spokes belong nowhere other than the trashcan

that's my hot take

[dire shard]

99% true

1% actually works out

trust

[kind osprey]

Unless they are Koenigseggs

Those look great

Probably because they split up midway

So it looks like half 3 half 6

[mental lion]

Those look like a bio hazard logo lmao

[kind osprey]

Omg they do

[onyx rivet]

nah they more like six spokes

three spojkes may be stretching it

Saab 900 Turbo three-spokes supremacy

[lone geyser]

The irony that the guy i used to carpool with to college with drove a juke 🤣

[jagged sentinel]

I can understand why they stopped making it but still

It wasn't selling well at all because it was more expensive than the equivalent mustang, even though it overall was the better sports car

Hmmm

That info is inaccurate

[waxen narwhal]

would chat agree that Hyundai makes some of the best looking vehicles on the market right now

[dire shard]

gods no

[fast edge]

does anyone make good looking vehicles anymore

ioniq 5 is p good

[dire shard]

even though i hate split headlights, i'm pretty partial to what genesis has going on

[fast edge]

that's hyundai

[sage roost]

Their designs are bold to say the least

[dire shard]

and lexus is toyota but i'm not lumping them together

[fast edge]

well it's kinda funny to me that you'd say gods no to hyundai but like genesis, which is made by hyundai

[dire shard]

one makes the kona and the other doesn't

[fast edge]

volvo still makes good looking cars

[dire shard]

volvo's cars look better than ever

shame they don't have a small car like the c30 anymore
