Guys, what's a good first car? Is this a good first car? I passed my test and bought this one, it's really fast and comfy so I have no problems so far but I would like a general opinion.

Nice first car. You might have to get the tint checked. It may be illegal.

@Bear-In-The-Air check the rubber seals around your doors and windows, also try the drain chanels on the firewall behind the engine, they get full of crap

Nah, e63s wagon looks better

True. The E class is a better looking wagon.
The Volvo V90 is also a nice looking wagon.

what ever is easy at the time
and depending on location
if its a small cramped part near the edge nose in
in the middle and parking is clear in front butt in
but since i hate normal 4 doors its normaly the 1st option till i get my car on the road i can 3 point turn that thing on a 1 lane road

Universally, usually all engines can support up to 10lbs boost, right?

I've tried searching up specs for my Volvo engine but found nothing.
hexed lake
Brush up on your Google-fu, and try again.
civic spoke
@magic coyote What model, year, Volvo do you have?
The older Volvo's had some bolt-on turbo's.
magic coyote
2001 S60 base
civic spoke
If it's the base-base, then it's either the B5244S2, or the B5244S
magic coyote
I've searched those models and haven't found anything of use.
I probably glazed past it somewhere lol
civic spoke
Are you planning to add your own turbo to it or something?
The B5244T3 seems to be the same engine as the normal 2.4 NA engine.
No idea about compression, or how well the ECU would play with each other.
magic coyote
Either that or slap a T5 turbo on it and try and play with that.
civic spoke
The turbo from the B5244T3 may play more nice with the B5244S engine.
magic coyote
Yeah. I may just leave the engine alone for awhile.
I'm not sure on what to do with it yet lmao
I am fixing to do a cat back exhaust with a variable muffler
civic spoke
Looking over the suspension/brakes has higher priority in my book.
magic coyote
True
eternal wyvern
soo the ECCU on the Fiat 500 Abarth keeps the turbo under 18PSI but the turbo 'could' make 24-26 at peak, would that be a bad idea? whats a more moderate and better idea?
BC i know too much boost will blow up the engine and couase heating problems and the injectors wont keep up with it but what would probably be more reasonable

civic spoke
Basically any BMW then.
I probably wouldn't mind a little BMW 218i with an ECU tune. You can bring it up to ~175 wheel hp, and ~300 Nm.
civic spoke
The 218 is a 3 cylinder, 1.5 liter
forest cedar
I see
civic spoke
I think... You guys don't get the 1 series hatch either, right?
Engine options here in Europe is a lot larger in general. @forest cedar
lilac abyss
@civic spoke i'm thinking like a late 90s 540
civic spoke
E39? Or the E34?
forest cedar
No we don't get the hatch
nor do we get the A-Class Mercedes because of perception
so they morfed it into the GLA because it looks like a mini-SUV and that's what people are into here
civic spoke
America has no need for small engines and small cars. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
forest cedar
the big brands like Ford, Toyota, Honda, Chevy all have small practical cars
same for VW
VW is funny because in Europe, the Golf is popular and cheaper than the Jetta while it's the other way around here
civic spoke
Sedans sell better than hatches in the USA.
forest cedar
yep
that's why all the hatchback models get a sedan version
prime example is the Fiesta
civic spoke
And cars like the VW Golf is more or less as small as you guys go.
forest cedar
the smallest, except from the Smart, is the Fiat 500
after that, pretty much Golf and etc
forest cedar
is that the new 500?
civic spoke
VW Up and Renault Twingo

It's getting a cage and everything 😄
Heard that they are possibly switching out the turbo as well.
forest cedar

that's so cool
are they doing track days with it?
civic spoke
It's a car an employee uses at a rental company next to the Nürburgring
forest cedar
ahhh
civic spoke
forest cedar
ahh thank you for sharing!
civic spoke
The cars that apart of their rental fleet are - BMW 218i, VW Polo GTI, Seat Leon Cupra, Toyota GT86, BMW M2 and M4, and then an E90 M3.
I think they have a McLaren 570S as well. But I don't know how much they rent that one out.
civic spoke
Oh, yeah. The Polo isn't a thing over in America.
forest cedar
nup
civic spoke
They are making a UP GTI as well xD
civic spoke
I think so? I have to give it a quick check.
civic spoke
There is an R-line. But I think that's only cosmetics xD
forest cedar
oh lmao
yeah I've seen that actually
but I didn't know if they did an actual R modeled car except the golf
civic spoke
Only available with the V6 TDI
forest cedar
right
civic spoke
Oh, right. I know the Scirocco had an R model.
civic spoke
Yeah, last year was 2017
civic spoke
There are so many cars you are missing out on.
forest cedar
yeah lmao
I mean to be fair
they wouldn't really sell here
the market right now is mainly cheap cars, SUVs and pick ups
civic spoke
I don't like pick-up's.
forest cedar
there are sports cars but it's never as much as when I travel to Europe or Japan
I'm fine with them lol, especially when companies make stuff like the F150 Raptor
civic spoke
Here is a rival to the Focus RS. https://icdn-1.motor1.com/images/mgl/21Egp/s1/2018-seat-leon-cupra-r.jpg
civic spoke
~310 hp
forest cedar
damn
civic spoke
There are really a lot of cars that rivals the Focus RS.
forest cedar
Ah yeah the STI as well
We don’t even get the RS3
Just the S3
Which is kinda confusing to me actually
forest cedar
Maybe, I’d have to look it up
I think we do have the sedan RS3 yeah
But for a while it’s been the S3 only
civic spoke
Which sucks. Because the RS3 looks much better as a hatch.
forest cedar
Yeah..
:((
Not that I’ll be able to afford any of these in the near future but
I just like cars man
civic spoke
Like, half the cars in that picture isn't available in USA.

is it bad im offended as a real pilot that i cant get into the pilot channels 😂
civic spoke
But out of those hot hatches in the picture earlier. Which would you guys want the most?
I'm personally a sucker for the BMW M140i
forest cedar
Ahh idk
civic spoke
The only car on that list with RWD.
civic spoke
The rest of the cars are all either FWD, or AWD/4WD.
forest cedar
And the Focus looks great but apparently not that good for everyday usage
civic spoke
I'd probably want the Fiesta ST more.
civic spoke
I think the BMW is the only one with a 6-cylinder there as well?
civic spoke
And the rest are four cylinders.
civic spoke
Inline 4, for sure.
forest cedar
Kk
civic spoke
And then the Subaru uses its flat-4 of course.
forest cedar
Business as usual lmao

What do you guys think of the new Ford GT? Like it? Hate it? Indifferent?
dire fiber
I don't really follow supercars but it seems interesting
pallid sky
its fucking amazing
civic spoke
I'm just not the biggest fan of it. There are many other special cars in the $500k range.
civic spoke
livid mortar
i didnt realize we had a cars channel here 😮
the new ford gt is pretty amazing all that aero
controversial on the tt v6 but i think its great
forest cedar
I’m honestly indifferent
I love the styling
And I’m sure it drives great (esp with their success in LM)
But I’m not too much into it
livid mortar
it looks pretty glorious
its essentially a little cocoon attached to the rest of the car feels a lot like a racecar haha
would love to see one irl
the sad part though i think in the future v6's will become hte new mainstream in performance cars
v12/v10/v8 becoming more of a rarity
visual escarp
they might sound awesome, but practicality, even for power is lacking
civic spoke
Something I thought about LeMans and the Ford GT. Why is it just the Ford GT that they mention?
Why isn't Aston Martin, Corvette, etc mentioned?
forest cedar
What do you mean?
civic spoke
Aston Martin, Corvette, and Porsche all have cars in the same LeMans class.
forest cedar
Hmm
Well AM isn’t really quiet about it
I think Porsche is kind of a given
And they mentioned competing in LM when Chevy released the C7, but after that it’s been hush hush
Although they almost won in their category this year iirc
civic spoke
I guess that the Ford GT might be the car that is the least different between road version, and track.
But some people (I'm looking at people like Jay Leno), makes it sound like the road version is the actual version used on the track.
And really holds the Ford GT up on a pedistal.
Why? Because it's a brand for the commonwealth?
livid mortar
i think theyr just glorifying the car
since they have to scratch ford's back to get early samples to review and get views etc
same thing happens with the laferrari
"oooh look at this f1 car for the road"
the ford gt in general has long history with lemans tho so its a given they keep referencing it
forest cedar
When the actual F1 car for the road is that new car Merc unveiled lmao
livid mortar
yeah
oh my god the new merc hypercar
its actually the biggest middlefinger one car manufacturer could give to another
forest cedar
Blew my mind they are bringing the engine of an F1 car on the road
livid mortar
the project 1 is the literal definition of a "middle finger to mclaren"
forest cedar
Lmao yeah
livid mortar
god thats hilarious though especially when you look back at mclaren and merc's history together in f1
mclaren is taking deep nosedives down in formula 1 its pretty sad
honda didnt do much for mclaren
forest cedar
Yeah
livid mortar
dont know if renault is gonna do any better
forest cedar
They are hoping Renault will do them good
livid mortar
they really missed out on the partnership with mercedes
forest cedar
Which I’m kinda hesitant
livid mortar
but can you imagine how much hate mclaren mus thave made mercedes feel
civic spoke
That new Mercedes looks wonderful. And it has a V6 just like the GT, but the Mercedes engine is actually special.
livid mortar
to warrant the need of making a literal product that is the middle finger to mclaren
forest cedar
Lmao yeah
livid mortar
as in mercedes must have though "no this isnt worth it, fuck it we are making a car to spite mclaren"
that takes next level hate
whats even more ironic is the engine in the project 1 merceds is the engine mclaren would have hypothetically gotten
so it just adds the salt on the wound LOL
civic spoke
I wonder what would have happened with the Ford GT if they got a more special engine for it.
livid mortar
hmm was there spacial limitations for the engine?
coz the car looks like its basically a cocoon attached to a car frame if you look at those aero bridges
so it may result in a longer car or something if they put in a v8 or whatnot
civic spoke
They basically needed a V6 engine for it to fit properly.
forest cedar
Wouldn’t hold a candle to Merc anyway
The thermal efficiency they achieved is astonishing
livid mortar
can we take a moment and appreciate the fact how merc as a brand was near bankrupt just 10-20 years ago
and now they have so much money they can make all these weird and wonderful things
like the project 1, the e400 allterrain
and all the other weird stuff
civic spoke
It's probably the G-Wagon that helped them through 😛
livid mortar
oh my god the g wagon
its literally a meme on wheels
it hasnt changed since 1970 bar cosmetic changes
forest cedar
Why would they change the fundamental look of it when its still sharp
livid mortar
i mean the actual structure and framework of the car hasnt changed either
civic spoke
They made the 4x4 squared as a joke. And they couldn't stop selling them.
livid mortar
until recently when they put the new amg engines in it
livid mortar
so imagine a 1970's engineered car with a 600 horsepower engine
forest cedar
Roll down the streets looking like an idiot
civic spoke
The AMG 63 engine is so much better than the AMG 65 engine.
forest cedar

civic spoke
Even if you give up the cylinders.
livid mortar
oh yeah
forest cedar
That V12 is fucking old
livid mortar
the new 4.0 amg engine in the 63's outperforms the v12
forest cedar
Isn’t it SOHC? 😂
livid mortar
the 6.2liter amg engine is probs gonna go into the historybooks as a legendary engine
good old m156
forest cedar
Even the old 6.2 was better than the V12
livid mortar
yeah
but the v12 has the honor of being in paganis
different bore and some tunes and whatnot but its the fundamentally same engine
civic spoke
Hnng. The redline for Project One will be at 11,000 RPM.
forest cedar
Hmm
livid mortar
imagine driving down a road at an ear piercing 11k rpm
youre gonna shatter all the glass and deafen all your neighbours
livid mortar
forest cedar
Btw love your pic @livid mortar
civic spoke
Man, I would love to see a Project One driving on the street.
forest cedar
Sameeeee
civic spoke
The engine is probably the weak point of the GT.
But it was a chassis car to begin with. So eh.
livid mortar
yeah
i just pray they dont come oem with shityear eagle f1's again
worst performance tire ever
civic spoke
I think they use Cup 2 tires?
livid mortar
thank god
the goodyears lose grip in the moist/wet
even the ones i had on my car were pretty awful
would hate to imagien driving an old ford gt with so much power with bad tires in the wet
civic spoke
I mean, the Cup 2's wouldn't be the greatest in the wet either.
livid mortar
thats true but at least you know what youre in for
the eagle f1 named "road tires" should have at least had some hope in the wet
michelins and pirellis are pretty great though but as such are pretty pricey
civic spoke
Yeah, the Trofeo R and Cup 2 are both great tires.
livid mortar
how much are they were you guys are?
civic spoke
I think a full set is around, uhh. $1,500+?
livid mortar
full set is 1500?
weow
in nz at the race track they sell them for around 900 per corner or so
and thats at the track day discounts
rip indeed
civic spoke
Just checked. Cup 2 tires for something like a Ferrari 488 is around $450~500 per corner.
civic spoke
Which McLaren would you rather have? 675LT, or 720S?
livid mortar
atm i think the best value for money is the pilot sport 4
oh wow
damnti galssbomb
asking the tough questions
civic spoke
Yeah, the PS4 tires are top tier.
civic spoke
I would rather have the 675, I think.
livid mortar
although the 675lt looks a lot nicer
the 720s has questionable headlight design
at least to me
it looks like sunken eyes
ist like the monster from aliens
forgot which one it was
civic spoke
It probably looks better in person.
civic spoke
The 720S is more of a GT car.
civic spoke
So it would be really nice to actually live with.
livid mortar
the sunken eye design reminds me of that ugly sack of shit
yeah the 720s seems like it would be a great luxury car in its own right
the magnet suspension is the stuff of dreams
civic spoke
livid mortar
hnggg the 675 lt
i love how mclaren uses 1 engine tho
its the same twin turbo v8 thats been in every single modern mclaren
nteresting that video
so the 720 is for the amateur racer
and the lt is for the hardcore racer
then again that was somewhat to be expected

hows the handling i hear porsche are assheavy in general
since the engine is over the back wheels

Oooh. 1ss or 2ss?
halcyon hornet
@tropic zodiac i dont think it will do good on a track, its not a race car, its heavy and with the typical american suspensions it will only be fun on the straights but be left behind by any Golf GTI under track conditions.
forest cedar
idk about having fun only in straights
the new SS is actually good
this whole american car suspension stigma is dying as Ford and Chevy actually makes their popular sports cars perform

that being said if you guys want a fun driving experience i recommend going to a track with something like a c63 or m3
and getting the most shit tires you can find

and then have a heck of a day drifting

Why not go in true ricer fasion and show up to the track in a 240
livid mortar

thats tre
in general tho if you want fun get some shit tires
the lack of grip makes for some fun drifts
only recently found that out
xD
great tires are great and all and safe
but then they dont give you quite as much fun
on track that is
never use shit tires on the road

So do I have to call my 2L 4cylinder a "tiny-block 122"? 😅

@viral shell i say that because im used to big engines... my dad drives an f150 with a eco boost v6 making 500hp, and he also has a 7.3l diesel f350.

my dads low riding f150 platinum... every year all of the salesmen are entered into a drawing and he was picked to win the nice truck of that year. they pay for gas, parts, and everything

Wow that's awesome!

everyone else has the stock f150 except for my dad and the winner of last years lifted ford raptor

The Deltawing was such a weird car.
Its front tires were as wide as the Citroen 2CV. To put things into perspective.

Omg lmao

Not the only weird car to come from Nissan.
A front-mid engine car. That's front-wheel driven.
Just look at the profile shot of it. http://image.superstreetonline.com/f/163494956+w+h+q80+re0+cr1/nissan-gt-r-lm-nismo-side-profile.jpg

That's good

Got it fixed, then some woman in a Durango rear ended him on the interstate
He's going to have a new car by the time everything's done lol
He was stopped, and she hit him going 80mph
tribal pulsar
his luck is not the best huh
fallow crescent
She had no license or insurance
tribal pulsar
was he ok?
fallow crescent
He lost his job from the back injury

More accurately, Sedgwick, the company that handles Walmart's insurance stuff

How's he doing now?
fallow crescent
Still looking for a job. His rear end should be fixed by the end of the month, now that hail season is over and his repair guy has some free slots
tribal pulsar
Well, tell him i said good luck

Will do
I just think the banged up 325xi picture would make a good thing to throw in here :p

Guys
UK teen here looking to upgrade my car. Debating between a BMW E87 1 series and an E46 3 series. What would you pick of the two
shy fog
Get a bike
vague idol
Nah, need the car for the practicality aspect
Currently got a Vauxhall Zafira so even a 1series is a huge down size (Its a saturn astra with a metal body and for 7 people for you US lot)
fallow crescent
Saturn, a company that hasn't been around for closing on a decade
heady ridge
this may be a pain...
plan is to get a ute (hopful) failing that get a wagon 4x4 but just remembered that if i take the back steats out i need to get a mod plate
tho if i get stuck with the wagon thats goodish since i can custom fab a shower to the roof rack and have a hot shower tho then the issue is with campgrounds and refilling it along with needing sun and possibly a pump because aint no shower worth anything without some half decent pressure (issues of a aussie)
forest cedar
@vague idol if your concern is practicality, I’d take the 3er
shy fog
One of my neighbors has some kind of Saturn car that looks like a corvette copy/paste
forest cedar
If it was me tho I’d take the 1series just for the fact that it’s more recent
Convertible? @shy fog
shy fog
Yup
shy fog
Yeah it’s really nice, wonder how much it cost compared to a corvette lol
forest cedar
Much cheaper probably
shy fog
I assume yea
forest cedar
But then used vettes shouldn’t be too expensive i think
shy fog
Yeah, I have a friend who got one for like $35,000 I think
forest cedar
Which gen?
shy fog
Still got the ol flip up headlights
shy fog
Yeah it’s really cool
Quite a unique vehicle
I would take a photo of the Saturn but it’s like 21 F rn

@copper pebble what you condisder a good looking car but cheap is diffrent to everyone
civic spoke
A millionare can consider any Mercedes as cheap.
It all depends on your budget, and what you are looking for from a car.
I'd probably consider anything under $2,000 as 'cheap'.
heady ridge
and this was really cheap
and btw yes that is a smashed out taillight i met a truck's bullbar and side indicator
civic spoke
Just really gotta make sure that the car you're getting has been properly inspected before buying it.
civic spoke
Or wheels that fall off.
heady ridge
f those kinds of things
civic spoke
Decent bushings is one of those overlooked things with used cars.
heady ridge
had a wheel fall off before with my mum driving the bolt had sheerd right off
or if a 4x4 check the chasis
if they claim its not been beach used CHECK
or if it was claimed as a summer car (people who get snow)
civic spoke
At least in areas where they use salt on the roads.
heady ridge
mm
im glad kinda to live in aus we dont have that issue
tho us with a 4wd and do beach driving basicly suffer the same effect
civic spoke
Yeah.
And I'm a tad envious of how much easier you guys in Australia has it when it comes to importing Japanese cars.
heady ridge
lol its worse
civic spoke
At least you get cars that have the steering wheel on the right side.

So I went out and wanted to put my winter tyres under my car, only to realise they location I bought them from has given me a wrong size, 5x112 instead of the 5x100 my car uses 
civic spoke
That's on them.

Soo, anybody in the netherlands in need of a set 57.1 5x112 195 16 winter tyres on steel rim?
tropic zodiac
Does it matter how many miles you drive on tires?
visual escarp
yes, because they wear out
civic spoke
Not only that. But the age of the tires matter as well.
You tires can have the proper depth and everything. But they can be 10+ years old, and be dry as hell. Which is REALLY not good.
Pretty much why the Carrera GT spun out and crashed when Paul Walker was driving.

i got a g35 coupe, 127000 km, 6 speed manual and an lsd. should i go crazy with it or stay minimalistic?

Go crazy, as in?
I will always suggest upgrades to improve the handling performance.
Mainly tires.

Can't spell 'an Urus' without Uranus.
