cars

[carmine summit]

I just want to see it, cuz high HP cars are cool

[rare urchin]

@vital glen Nice and the engine bay has been modified and has a tubular framing around it to make it secure

[fathom socket]

If an oddessy can make 1000hp, then I see no problem with an accord being off its face either

[vital glen]

Is that a track car?

[fathom socket]

Tube frame usually means it's meant for something serious where I'm from

[rare urchin]

Well he doesnt mess around with safety in his cars

[fathom socket]

^usually a good idea :)

[fallow ridge]

Tube frame is dangerous if you don't have the other safety equipment

Otherwise you're just gonna bash your head in on the frame

[brittle niche]

I'm 17 and this MIGHT be my first car. The cvpi was my dream car for as long as I can remember.

[carmine summit]

they're cool. They aren't hard to make some more power out of if that's what you want.

[vital glen]

ooooooooooooof

@brittle niche paint it white

[lime copper]

Even has a fog light.

[vital glen]

@lime copper now it needs lights, paint job, sirens

[lime copper]

Paint it pink

Get some RGB underglow

[rare urchin]

He has padded cage

Talking about my friends car

[candid rune]

i wonder how much insurance would be on a crown vic for me

[rare urchin]

Normal?

[plucky pier]

I wish I had a car

[vital glen]

Hennessey Venom F5 
Thoughts?
@fathom socket

[candid rune]

@plucky pier don't we all lmfao

fuck toronto area insurance premiums

[carmine summit]

Ha

I'm a few hours southwest of you

It's great

[vital glen]

@candid rune git rekt

[fathom socket]

ill wait for nordschleife times before commenting

[civic spoke]

@vital glen The Venom F5 is only a spec sheet car right now. There are no actual car that they can show off. Other than the current model.

But they don't have an engine or anything.

[fathom socket]

Still, will probably make it before the Devel Sixteen comes out lol

[candid rune]

i swear people have been talking about the devel sixteen since 2013

[fathom socket]

when it was a clay model and a bunch of promises

[candid rune]

so is it actually being made?

[fathom socket]

people have been saying it for a number of years, and it is getting closer, but still looks a while off

it's like the half life 3 of cars, but nobody is really hankering for it to come out. but if it does, fwaaah

gotta go now anyway, but wanted to ask, does anyone here watch Mightycarmods, Roadkill, /Drive, or all three?

[candid rune]

hell, even cyberpunk 2077 will come out before this car

[fathom socket]

^ xD

[candid rune]

I used to watch roadkill

before the sponsors

so like before 2016

/drive used to be good

when matt farah did tuned

my favourite episode is the sr20 datsun 510 or that corbin dude with the v8 FB rx7 & the diesel jetta pickup truck

[fathom socket]

have you seen his new project?

it's a rolls royce which he turned into a canyon carver. brittish military qeues, and brexit jokes all over it

[candid rune]

i think i saw it once @fathom socket

tuned is what first introduced me into e90 m3s

i didn't know how cool that engine is

[vital glen]

Stock car dirt tracks

are fun as hell

it's just drifting

but you can

feel like you are in control

it's weird

[carmine summit]

@fathom socket I watch MCM and Roadkill.

[candid rune]

Any of you watch TommyFyeah or RicerMiata

[civic spoke]

Oh, right. That ghetto Rolls was put up for sale earlier.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1979-rolls-royce-silver-shadow/

Sold for $11,000

[vital glen]

@civic spoke that's pretty gey

[civic spoke]

That he sold it? Can't hold on to the stuff forever.

Just like Matt Farah had to sell off some of his cars.

He used to have a mint DeLorean, and a pretty nice Corvette.

[vital glen]

No, that someone would buy it

@civic spoke hmm.... Should I buy a turbo in addition to my supercharger

[civic spoke]

There are crazy people all of the place.

To what car?

[vital glen]

It's a '85 Monte Carlo SS with a 350

It already hits 750hp

[civic spoke]

Would the transmission even be able to take the extra hit?

Along with all the other parts.

[vital glen]

@civic spoke yeah

I am saving up rn for it

[civic spoke]

So twin turbo on it?

I generally think that keeping it more simple is better.

Though, I'm the kind of guy who prefers low end torque over high end power.

[vital glen]

I am talking about twin charged

Super + Turbo

@civic spoke

[civic spoke]

Ahh. I still don't know.

A car that works is the best car.

[vital glen]

Not wrong

I like my engine working

I will just get a better tune

[civic spoke]

I really want to try out some of the cars that this Nurburg rental company has.

[vital glen]

Ok

Ls swap s550

That's what I will xo

Do

[carmine summit]

y

[vital glen]

Y not

[civic spoke]

The two cars that I want to drive the most from Apex Nurburg is a VW Up, and a BMW 218i

[vital glen]

Oooof

[civic spoke]

125 hp to the wheels in the Up, 175 for the BMW.

[vital glen]

@carmine summit do you not have a s550 and a fully rebuilt ls3 sitting in your garage?

[civic spoke]

And they are both set up with proper suspension, etc.

[vital glen]

Ooo

Interesting

[civic spoke]

The Up is even stripped with a cage.

[vital glen]

Hey stripped cars are the best cars

I might just get a new filter for the engine

[civic spoke]

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bd-qv-HDwfU

The little car that could.

[vital glen]

God that is ugly

[weak cipher]

is that the 2jz rolls?

[civic spoke]

I think it's the normal Rolls engine.

[carmine summit]

The sub 7up is cool

[civic spoke]

Have become sort of an icon for Nurburgring.

[carmine summit]

I prefer the Pinderwagen though

[civic spoke]

Heh

APEX Nurburg will have a pretty nice collection of BMW cars. Heard that they are trying to get a Team Schirmer treatment for each generation.

[vital glen]

@carmine summit I see you like boost?

[carmine summit]

Yep

[vital glen]

do you have car?

[carmine summit]

Not yet.

[vital glen]

are you the one that want's volvo?

or the crown vic

[carmine summit]

No I want a MK2 Jetta

I know where theres one sitting that I want to buy and put an AAZ in

I'm thinking head studs, rods, and more boost

[candid rune]

if i get that carat sedan my godfather has im literally changing anything that breaks

i want to find a gli parts car

but thats never going to happen

i want to swap out the rear drums for discs

[radiant lynx]

OOF

Since this is car chat I was wondering if there is a top-5 shit people should get for their cars. 2014 SEAT Ibiza 1.4 SC

300mile trips across England

[vital glen]

i got this

[radiant lynx]

Ya?

[carmine summit]

The Carat has rear discs

[radiant lynx]

You're PP has AMD on it tho..

[vital glen]

1. fake brembo caliper cover
2. Biggest wing you can find
3. Plastidip in the sun on a windy day
4. all the stickers
5. install all subs
6. Fart can

sorry that is 6\

[radiant lynx]

Thanks @vital glen 😂

Will Linus make tat a vid?

[vital glen]

his lambo needs it

+1000hp

[carmine summit]

But what about a hood scoop for that extra 150% hp

[vital glen]

no

remove the entire hood

[carmine summit]

That way it won't overheat

[vital glen]

duh

[visual escarp]

Day9 and cars do not go together well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akyAFmbjeYI

1989 brochure

[dense valve]

when im old i will buy an nissan micra!

i know everyone cared

[vital glen]

when you are old

define old

[dense valve]

18 lol

[sterile verge]

Im sticking to my volvo 850 as long as i can, but in time i will probably switch it for an audi or bmw.. might go for a mercedes.. Not sure what model or type of car is the easiest to setup a subwoofer and amplifier in cars as ive got little exprirence in this, but a friend is good on volvo's, maybe ill just stick to volvo's because of his knowledge / good work at this.

Im just 21, but a Audi A8 would be pretty cool now with a good / decent subwoofer.

Not sure what people's dreamcars is, mine used to be V70, S60 or a Volvo 850 T5, now its more like Audi RS5..

[dense valve]

mine is nissan micra

[civic spoke]

The Micra isn't a terrible car for a young adult.

[graceful cape]

Almost looks like he strapped the bike to the spoiler...

[carmine summit]

nope theres a rack there

[sterile verge]

@civic spoke eww..

[graceful cape]

@carmine summit I said, "it almost looks like". I know that theres a rack.

[candid rune]

@carmine summit this is the exact car

I just looked it up and there’s probably no way i can insure this, at least to the point where i can afford it working part time and going to school

I need 10 years of clean driving experience

And i am 18

Lel

Feels bad man

oh and that puddle below the car is water, my driveway is kinda fucked

if anyone has decent Canadian insurance knowledge and could tell me a way how i could get cheap insurance for a car like that, lemme know

[civic spoke]

Man, the new Volvo V60 is a damn good looking car.

[candid rune]

@civic spoke gotta admit its sleek

it gives off e63 amg wagon vibes

[civic spoke]

Doesn't compete with the E class though. It's more of a C class rival.

[candid rune]

390hp combined hybrid system, 310 from a 2.0 turbo 4 banger, the rest from an electric motor

@civic spoke auto makers are going crazy with turbos on 4cyls

wonder how much boost it makes

[carmine summit]

I could insure that car for $450 a month as a 16 year old male

with my G1

[civic spoke]

That's because 4 cylinders are a good inbetween for power, size, and efficiency.

The popular engine choice over here will likely be the D3 and the D4.

[candid rune]

@carmine summit is that with decent coverage or just 3rd party liability

[civic spoke]

150/190 hp engines.

[carmine summit]

@weak granite I forget

[candid rune]

@civic spoke not gonna lie, all this cool tech is great and all new, but i don't think its gonna age well maintenance wise

[civic spoke]

Technology often ages poorly.

Which is why I generally like the more simple designs of the BMW cabins.

[candid rune]

its not only that, its the engines

[civic spoke]

True to a certain point.

[candid rune]

from my basic understanding of engines, an well designed NA engine will always be more reliable than a turbo engine won't it

[civic spoke]

The problem with new engines is that they haven't stood the test of time.

I mean, if there are more components that can fail.

[candid rune]

yea that's true

[civic spoke]

There is a reason why the LS is as popular as it is.

[candid rune]

Ls engines are reliable because they're iron block right?

[carmine summit]

Because when you blow one up you can buy another one cheap

[candid rune]

are they also low compression?

[civic spoke]

They are used in heaps of cars. And they have been around for 20+ years now.

[carmine summit]

Yep. Chevy is still using the same inefficient architecture they were using 60 years ago.

lol

[rare urchin]

I wish i lived in USA when it comes to car stuff

[candid rune]

@carmine summit better the engine than the suspension ~im looking at you, mustang~

[civic spoke]

Isn't the LS also based on the Chevy small block?

[rare urchin]

You can so much cool shit leagally but not here

[carmine summit]

Canada is better bar the salty roads

[civic spoke]

Which is like... from the 50's?

[carmine summit]

yeah. 60+ year old architecture.

[candid rune]

@carmine summit except ontario has really strict anti street racing laws

[vital glen]

the 350 chevy

[candid rune]

50km/h over you get your car impounded

[vital glen]

is a great engine

[candid rune]

which is nothing compared to europe but still

[carmine summit]

just don't go 50 over

[candid rune]

just don't get caught going 50 over

[vital glen]

that's me tapping the throttle

[civic spoke]

There is generally little point ing speeding.

[carmine summit]

I would have the perfect emote for that but I don't have discord nitro

[candid rune]

@civic spoke yeah, you'll always catch dickheads trying to gun it light to light just for you to roll up beside them at a red

[civic spoke]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsmbbuSq9m0

[carmine summit]

lots of aftermarket

that's why

[rare urchin]

I wish i could have few cars ive built with friends leagal in Finland but nope

[vital glen]

@carmine summit you can get a lot of those engines

for no money

[carmine summit]

yeah

it's the SBC of the modern muscle car

literally

[vital glen]

that's all chevy engines

[rare urchin]

Theres sadly not alot of ls engines in Finland

[candid rune]

SBC stands for?

[carmine summit]

small block chevy

[candid rune]

ahhh

[vital glen]

small blocks have the advantage

[civic spoke]

I don't know if the European market has anything similar to the small block/LS.

[candid rune]

in terms of what

[carmine summit]

XannyFranny I think you would find this website interesting

http://a2resource.com/

[civic spoke]

The Japanese has the 2JZ, and all of the 4 pots.

[candid rune]

@carmine summit sickkkk

[rare urchin]

We have some small blocks but not much

[vital glen]

@candid rune well the modding community is slightly better

[carmine summit]

Europe has the BMW S52

[vital glen]

with small blocks

[candid rune]

@civic spoke the s85?

that is the german v8 for me

[rare urchin]

We have the ladas aswell

[candid rune]

wait which is it

s65 or s85

[civic spoke]

I guess all of the BMW M engines are iconic.

[candid rune]

i get the v10 and v8 mixed up

[vital glen]

s85 is v10

[candid rune]

@civic spoke not the f80's engine

[civic spoke]

But they aren't cheap.

[carmine summit]

europe has the VW 16 valve and 20VT

[candid rune]

and not nearly as reliable

[rare urchin]

Yeah they hella expensive out here

[candid rune]

rod bearings

[vital glen]

ls is the way too go

[civic spoke]

The F80 is still pretty new. I'm sure that people will start to love that engine as well.

[rare urchin]

I love me some rotary action tho

[vital glen]

until they break

[carmine summit]

^

[candid rune]

what engine does it use? it doesn't use the s54 right

[civic spoke]

Rotary is always hit or miss.

[vital glen]

drving my fc

[candid rune]

@civic spoke every rx8 that passes me reeks of oil

its sad

[carmine summit]

my friend had an FB RX7

[rare urchin]

Thats why you use proper seals

[carmine summit]

He sold it and bought an E36 325is

[candid rune]

@carmine summit my friend had a white fc that he blew up on a backroad

[carmine summit]

it was known as the RustX7

[candid rune]

maybe i shouldn't be chasing old cars after all

[vital glen]

I do prefer the 350 over all

[carmine summit]

older cars are more fun

[rare urchin]

I had a 1.3 liter 13b just sitting around and it may have found it way inside a lada 1200 wich was hella of a job to fit it in

[candid rune]

i like their aesthetic, and they drive so honestly

[carmine summit]

yep

[vital glen]

Hey man

[civic spoke]

The Mini that Might Car Mods put together is so damn nice.

[candid rune]

the first car i drove was a 97 sentra

[vital glen]

'Merican muscle is cheap af to get into

[candid rune]

so ill always have a thing for old 90s imports

[carmine summit]

first car I drove was a 1994 Ford F250 with a 7.3 IDI

[vital glen]

Mine was a 2003 h2

[candid rune]

the fastest thing i drove is probably a wrx or a mk7 gti

[civic spoke]

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/f2rSsrw4DSc/maxresdefault.jpg

So much engine.

[rare urchin]

It is but i have that special spot in my heart for 9000rpm and rotarys

[vital glen]

That h2 had a ls3

[rare urchin]

Im glad that my 13b has been a good boy so far

[civic spoke]

I would like a small car with the 4A-GE Black Top.

[candid rune]

@civic spoke i was literally thinking about the ae-86 when you said that

[rare urchin]

It could have more horses but the car it self is light and so its fine

[candid rune]

japanese 4cyls are my shit

[vital glen]

4bangers are shit

[civic spoke]

The Honda B18C is also a nice.

[rare urchin]

Ur shit

[candid rune]

if i could get an fa5 si i would

[vital glen]

Cars
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Because who doesn't love automobiles? Share pics of your sweet ride, talk about how 4 bangers suck and more!

[candid rune]

just gotta save 10k for a decent one

[rare urchin]

I want to get a 240sx

[civic spoke]

4 pots serve a purpose.

[candid rune]

@vital glen you sound like a salty 3v mustang owner who got gapped by a boosted si

[civic spoke]

And it's generally to fit a smaller engine bay.

[candid rune]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[civic spoke]

Something a larger engine has troubles with.

[vital glen]

@candid rune I have a super and juice 350

In a 85 Monte Carlo ss

Kicks out right around 750hp

[candid rune]

pfft my bicycle can gap you

fr tho thats actually sic k

[vital glen]

It needs some work rn

I need to repaint it

[candid rune]

like to make it go faster or to run properly

[rare urchin]

I wish to get back on my audi project soon

[vital glen]

So it won't rust

[rare urchin]

Kinda like blew my motor whilst drifting

Only i4 that has gone bad on me

[vital glen]

Lol

[candid rune]

@vital glen oh i thought you meant engine work & repainting

nvm

[vital glen]

Oh lol

Yeah, and yeah I getting a better tune

And I speak best engrish

Trust me

[rare urchin]

But it was kinda my fault for running too much boost in to the old bastard 😂

[vital glen]

How much?

[civic spoke]

I wished that we got Kei cars over here.

I would love a small car with a high-revving 600cc engine.

[rare urchin]

Around 9 psi killed it

[candid rune]

@civic spoke as much as i love the honda beat and cappuccino, i doubt my 6 foot 1 ass would fit

@rare urchin how

[civic spoke]

Didn't Matt Farah make a video on the Cappuccino recently?

[vital glen]

It's hard fitting into small cars

[civic spoke]

He's a fairly big guy.

[rare urchin]

Cause it blew out my piston wich fucked the block really nicely

[civic spoke]

Matt Farah is 6'3

[candid rune]

yeah im a twig nvm

im like 150 soaking wet

[vital glen]

I am a big boi

200lbs @ 6'3

Alright

I might be buying a newer i4 for my audi

[vital glen]

People are bragging about their 1000hp 2jz

[rare urchin]

No one needs 1000hp

[vital glen]

I am sitting here with my 5hp 150cc dirtbike

[rare urchin]

Its usless

[candid rune]

im honestly bored of high hp cars

[vital glen]

I need my 350 too hit 1k hp

[rare urchin]

Good luck with that

[candid rune]

to a point

like theyr

[vital glen]

I am young and dumb

[civic spoke]

A car with gobs of power can mainly just use that in straight lines.

[rare urchin]

They are cool but not that cool

[vital glen]

And looking for a fun time

[civic spoke]

Which is why I prefer cars with less power.

[candid rune]

they're cool but if they have no mechanical grip and can't turn its whatever

[vital glen]

@civic spoke Actually it handles around the track pretty well

[civic spoke]

I'm saying that it's easier to reach the limit of a car with a less powerful car.

[vital glen]

Oh yeah, you are not wrong

[civic spoke]

With a fast car, with heaps of hp, then you'll reach your own limit first.

[rare urchin]

If i have high horsepower i usually just ripp it untill i run out of gas or tires

[candid rune]

@civic spoke and not crashing is great too

[civic spoke]

Or crashing at 50 mph vs 100 mph.

[rare urchin]

I usually drift with a car that has around 200 whp

[vital glen]

I am have tried drifting it

Let's just say that

Flooring it coming in wasn't the best idea

[candid rune]

did it just understeer then oversteer?

[rare urchin]

I never floor it when going in to the corners

[civic spoke]

I tried to have fun in my fathers old Audi A4.

No fun was to be had.

Audisteer 😦

[rare urchin]

You need rwd to have fun

[vital glen]

It started to understeer

[civic spoke]

I had more fun in the A1 loaner he got when the A4 was in for service.

[vital glen]

Then I went out and spin the fuck out

[candid rune]

if i were to get in a car to drive hard it would probably be fwd

just because i have the most experience with fwd

[vital glen]

Its an ok daily not gonna lie

[rare urchin]

My lada would be a terrible daily

[vital glen]

After putting in some better seats

[rare urchin]

Rwd, rotary, light chassics and terrible seats

[vital glen]

And putting in climate control

And putting in a good audio setup

[rare urchin]

My climate control is a metal hatch near the drivers leg 😂

[vital glen]

Lol

[rare urchin]

Ive stripped it to all hell

[vital glen]

It was stripped when I got it

[rare urchin]

It has the essentials and 2 seats

[vital glen]

Brakes are not essential

That's what throttle control and walls are for

[rare urchin]

It has brakes

Almost

Not

I only need new brakepads and im fine

Also some bettrr seats

[vital glen]

Remove everything that relates to the brake

[rare urchin]

It didnt have even a brake pedal for s long time

Only a hydro handbrake for drifting

Its a fun beater and thats how its gona stay

But i will catch some sleep now so cya

[vital glen]

Gn

@candid rune do you know those kinda of people, thots, who drive a jeep Wrangler but never offroad them

[candid rune]

@vital glen one of them went to my old hs

Oh no, 2

[vital glen]

I have 3

and one of them is my homeroom

[candid rune]

I don’t understand, jeeps are shitty cars when it comes to on road

[vital glen]

they are

blast to rock climb with though

[candid rune]

They’re loud, suck gas & have poor handling

If you actually use a jeep off road, they’re great

[vital glen]

Were cahtting about our cars\

and what we are goingh to do with them/what other kdis are about to buy

[candid rune]

I just don’t like people who buy cars purely as a status symbol

Other than luxury cars

[vital glen]

and our proctor asks the one girl what model is your jeep wrangler

[civic spoke]

Mall crawler Jeeps.

[vital glen]

yes

she liesk what

it's a jeep wrangler

He asked again

what is the trim

she's like

uhhh

it has 2 doors

[candid rune]

When you get an f150 just to lift it & be a dick

[vital glen]

no it has 4 doors

wait it has 2 doors

[candid rune]

The rubicon is 4 door

I don’t know much about American cars so

[vital glen]

she has the sport trim or the svanahh trim

she doesn't know and I have nver seen her drive it to school

she just got her permit

[candid rune]

One of my friends got a cla 45 in 11th grade

He tried to drift it

[vital glen]

wut

[candid rune]

And he revved it cold in winter

[vital glen]

😵

[candid rune]

All I could think of was “ why the fuck are you trying to slide a car with fwd bias awd”

[vital glen]

He saw intial-d

And was like

Fuck yeah time to drift

[candid rune]

Nahhh, hes arab

[vital glen]

Oh

Makes sense

[candid rune]

He probably saw russians drifting c63s and was like i can do it too

He now has an m4

God save us all

I wouldn’t be surprised if his car is driving on pss

[vital glen]

Is he trying to drag race with that thing?

[candid rune]

He’s probably trying to drift

I always hear him going down the streets in 1st or 2nd letting off

[vital glen]

I have seen a bone-stock m4 on the strip before

[candid rune]

Yea they’re fast

I tried to teach him how to use lc in the cla

He gave up

[vital glen]

It was getting chopped by everyone else

[civic spoke]

I was reminded of a video of a Subaru that revved his car like crazy to 'celebrate' New Years or something.

Ruined the engine.

[candid rune]

I feel bad for whoever financed that cla after he gave it back

All that car did was short hard drives

[vital glen]

Lol

[candid rune]

For lunch he would rip it to the local plaza & back to school

Its probably like 500-700m at best

[vital glen]

That's nothing

[candid rune]

Ik

[vital glen]

Why would you drive their

[civic spoke]

I'm in the camp that you're better off getting a scooter or something if you're only going very short distances.

[candid rune]

Because clout

I just hate taking the bus

10 minute drive to college is 50 by 3 buses

[vital glen]

Lol

My mom hates when I drive my Monte Carlo

[candid rune]

Wish i lived in Toronto

Because its too fast?

[vital glen]

Canada man, not a place for me

@candid rune because it's red

Rwd

[candid rune]

Thats true

[vital glen]

And it runs 1/4 mile in the high 9's

[candid rune]

Jesus

How do you have a car that fast

[vital glen]

My dad

He approves all my purchases

@candid rune also the fact that he likes fast cars

Also getting a car to go that fast is cheap af here

[candid rune]

Ahhh

Yeah my dad is all safety and mpg first and he thinks that as soon as i drive his acura im gonna be racing and trying to crossover vtec all the time

protip: using the paddle shift when you still have your learner's permit is not a great idea

[lime copper]

lol

[calm cedar]

Do model cars count?

[vital glen]

@candid rune I use stick

I learned at 12

to drive stick

east af

[candid rune]

i learned when i was 15

[vital glen]

finna rekt

[candid rune]

any asian country is terrible to drive in

[vital glen]

because all Asians drive like crippled old blind men

[candid rune]

i may or may not have money shifted with a semi on my ass

[vital glen]

lol

[candid rune]

i didn't even have a tach to look at

not fun with a 1.2L

i basically missed 3rd and went into first because the shifter had no feel whatsoever

[civic spoke]

@calm cedar I really want the Lego Porsche GT3RS.

[calm cedar]

I meant like game models

I create mods for a game and meant models as in in game models

I posted the screenshots of them in #screenshots

[candid rune]

they're sick

[vital glen]

@civic spoke buy it

[civic spoke]

Broke.

[vital glen]

nvm it's 300 bucks

this is more our price point @civic spoke

https://shop.lego.com/en-US/Porsche-911-GT3-RS-42056

I don't blame you

it's a nice model

[short slate]

I need to figure out something for lifting my car 1-2 inches (Chrysler 300M)

(It's right at the level where the front bumper catches on sidewalks and parking blocks, so it's getting a bit of abuse from it)

[vital glen]

want to do it the right way

or the dumb way

@short slate

[short slate]

The car is a POS

[vital glen]

dumb way it is

get bigger wheels

[short slate]

As long as it won't give out on me randomly

[vital glen]

and grind out the wheel well

[short slate]

That's expensive though .-.

[vital glen]

not really

I never said good tires

[short slate]

It'll still be easily $300+ for cheap rims and tires

Could probably just get some of them fancy spacers for less than that

If I can find some that'll fit my car .-.

[vital glen]

But you can't @short slate

That means renting out an angle grinder

[short slate]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

or I can just keep at it until the bumper gets ripped off, then it won't catch anymore

[vital glen]

@short slate the construction workers that were at my house today ripped the front bumper off my car

And denied

It

[short slate]

Wow

[vital glen]

#IAmTryingFileAClaim

Lol

[fathom socket]

Should i buy a 1995 Supra for 12,500$ aud? Been wanting one since i was a little kid.

thats the car in question

would have to pay for shipping obv

since its like 1000km away

and im not about to drive that

Or should i get this 1994 Supra for 15,000$ aud

obv ill be adjusting everything to my liking

the 1994 has major drivetrain modification

1995 is near stock

factor in shipping aswell which will be around 2k

[rare urchin]

I would get the 95 personally @fathom socket

[fathom socket]

yeah im leaning towards that

since im planning on doing the tunes myself

aiming for 650-750 at the tyres

[rare urchin]

And ofc turbo?

[fathom socket]

twin turbo

[rare urchin]

[fathom socket]

since im going to be aiming for low end boost

i dont want to run single turbo

might even run twin charging

[rare urchin]

My friend spotted a turbo rotary but the engine alone cost around 7g's

Kinda want to get it but short on car cash cause ive gotten 2 project cars already

Cause my audi once im able to get fixing it will eat around 5 grand just for engine stuff then i have to start a volvo 240gl project

The volvo will be a easy project

Cause we are just repainting it and doing new panels and we might turbo it

[vital glen]

@fathom socket get the '95

@fathom socket is it cheaper there to mod out a 2jz?

because making a supra worth shit here

is expenssive

[fathom socket]

well any modding done properly will cost

regardless of location

[vital glen]

@fathom socket stop being dumb, you know what I mean

[fathom socket]

well im aiming for a reasonable power figure

most of the money going into modifying will be not in the engine

since i want a sequential

and an actually nice interior aswell

since im not stripping it

and the stock interior on supra's isnt great

[vital glen]

there's where you are wrong

it's a supra

therefore everything will be done to brace the car

[fathom socket]

well im not shooting for 1000bhp

tbh

[vital glen]

even if you aren't

[fathom socket]

im aiming at 600 tops

[vital glen]

lol weak

[fathom socket]

well 750 tops

[vital glen]

weak

[fathom socket]

so what

you dont need more than that in a road cae

*car

[vital glen]

you don't need a supra

a prius will do you fine

and more economical

[fathom socket]

thing is i dont want a prius

[vital glen]

Thing is you don't need more

[fathom socket]

thing is i dont want to look like an eco twat

[vital glen]

thing is you don't need more

therefore

I win

using your logic

[fathom socket]

theres other reasons i dont want more than 750bhp

like reliability

[vital glen]

meh

oh right it's a supra

you are right

[fathom socket]

yeah those 1000bhp supras break quick

[vital glen]

if it was a buggati veyron

it would be fine

buy a buggati @fathom socket

[fathom socket]

nah

[vital glen]

dew it

no balls

[fathom socket]

maintenence on them is hella expensive

[vital glen]

it's not like they suck in handling

or anything

[fathom socket]

you do know that in my country we have a luxury car tax

[vital glen]

Yeah

[fathom socket]

that would make a veyron/chiron at least 5m

[vital glen]

you live in the country of the spider and the communists

@fathom socket

[fathom socket]

WAT

[vital glen]

WAT

[fathom socket]

its a w16 with a quad turbo

and it has a radio

and has 2 keys

[vital glen]

it has 2x jet engine

[fathom socket]

and i guess it has a trunk

[vital glen]

duh

no trunk

[fathom socket]

duh

[vital glen]

trunks are for losers

no radio

[fathom socket]

well it has a frunk

not a trunk

[vital glen]

just a kidnapped sound cloud rapper

no radio

[fathom socket]

nah they dont make good enough music to justify it

[vital glen]

meh the chiron looks like a bubble

no character

[fathom socket]

not in person

in person they look amazing

[vital glen]

I have seen one at an autoshow

they look like a bubble

they don't sound as agressive

as you would think

[fathom socket]

well yeah

they arnt designed that way

bugatti has never been about sounding mean

or looking mean

its about doing it in a sphere of class and sophistication

[vital glen]

aerodynamics

tome cruise is not classy

Chris Brown is not classy

[fathom socket]

oh i know

its not the people who drive them

its the car itself that makes the statement

[vital glen]

Jay Leno is a classy dude

@fathom socket well I mean, I don't think a whole lot of buyers use it as a daily or a weekend car

it's more like a show piece at that point

[carmine summit]

Might as well just buy a solid gold banana

At that point

[rare urchin]

Just reading some of these messsges make me question awsom_e's age

Sometimes i feel that is the typical american teenager that tries not to be ricer

But still ends up being a ricer

[dense valve]

@rare urchin true lol

[vital glen]

@rare urchin wrong

yes american teenager

I am 16

I don't think getting my car professional painted yellow with black gt stripes is a ricer

and I am not putting a fucking fart can on my car

I don't feel like making my muscle car sounding like lawn mower

feel free to ask me any question @rare urchin

@dense valve wanna see my fucked up engine bay?

[dense valve]

what?

[vital glen]

Hey man calling me a ricer

I like to one up people

that call me a ricer

[dense valve]

oh i wasn't specifieng in you at all mate

what he said is how i see that

[vital glen]

I have been called a ricer before by people who have a civic

[dense valve]

obviusly im not american

[vital glen]

ok

I have been called a ricer by a guy in a 2014 eco boost mustang @dense valve

[dense valve]

k

Im not an car guy lol i dont even know why im on this thread

[vital glen]

because my monte carlo was painted yellow

[copper pebble]

Who has a car that can go 0-60 km in 3 seconds?

[fathom socket]

do you mean miles

because its 0-100 km

not 0-60 km

and i had one

had to scrap it

too expensive to fix

i was doing 0-100 in 2.9 seconds

[visual escarp]

What car?

[fathom socket]

Rx7 spirit r tri rotor tri turbo in parallel

on a sequential gearbox

rwd

stripped obv

gearbox failure

since i didnt have over rev lockout on the gearbox

[vital glen]

I can 0-60km in under 3

that's nothing

[fathom socket]

sure.....

[vital glen]

60km not mph

[fathom socket]

and what car is that in

[vital glen]

my monte carlo

[fathom socket]

what year?

[vital glen]

'85 monte carlo ss with a 350 chevy with a supercharger

that kicks out 750hp

[fathom socket]

what was your 0-100km

[vital glen]

like a little under 4.3

[fathom socket]

was the car stripped?

[vital glen]

not fully

It's mostly

[fathom socket]

because that car is steel

[vital glen]

yeah

ik

it is mostly stripped

it's 1513kg stock

It weighs right around 1315kg

rn

[visual escarp]

my octavia has a 0-100km of 7.9s from the top of my head

[vital glen]

that's the monte carlo stock

i am prettyy sure

you can see monte carlos running low 10's high 9's in the 1/4 mile

with farley light engine work

fairly light engine work means slap in a turbo/super on a crate engine and slapping that whole assembly in

[rare urchin]

@vital glen Aight mate i wasnt calling you a ricer it just how i see ur behavior

And you can have 1100hp and you still wont amaze me cause i only care about whp

[vital glen]

it does had 750whp

I don't have tools to measure at the crank @rare urchin

now fite me @rare urchin

damn civic ricer owner

😝

[rare urchin]

Never owned a civic and never will

Ive owned only 1 fwd car and it was an older volvo v70 turbo diesel

[candid rune]

I have yet to drive rwd

closest ive driven was probably rwd bias awd

[rare urchin]

I drive only 4wd, awd or rwd

Ive yet to drive a crazy whp awd or 4wd

[vital glen]

@rare urchin define crazy?

[visual escarp]

well, RIP me for living in mainland Europe, it is basically all FWD over here

[vital glen]

lol

rekt

[visual escarp]

at least when you want sensible and affordable

[vital glen]

1.3L 4 bangers

and fwd

how do you feel @visual escarp

[visual escarp]

I owned a 1.1 4banger with FWD, could not even reach 120 KPH in a headwind

[vital glen]

oooooooof

[visual escarp]

My fake Volkswagen does not have that problem

[vital glen]

your fake vw?

wdym

fake

[visual escarp]

from a 206 to a Skoda Octavia

[vital glen]

ok

[visual escarp]

a first-gen vRS to be more precise, which basically makes it a Golf IV GTi with moor boot space

[vital glen]

oooooff

[visual escarp]

132kW on 1300 KG goes pretty nicely, I mostly wanted it for the acceleration though, because getting into that narrow gap on the highway instead of having to wait is just so nice

[vital glen]

it weighs 1300kg

with 177hp

wut

@visual escarp

[visual escarp]

yup, hey, my 206 was 880kg with 60 hp

[floral iris]

So

I drive a 2003 GM Sonoma with a extended cab. Recently in the winter I messed up one of my brakelines and had it fixed. Something I had an issue during the time it was messed up was brake fluid leaking horribly fast, and having to push my pedal all the way down. Well, this morning it was working just fine, about five hours later, I'm having to push the pedal all the way down to stop. But no fluid is leaking

And no brake light

Any thoughts?

[dire fiber]

no brake light?

[floral iris]

Like

My brake light on my dash isen't on

I'm wondering if my brakes just need to be bled

[rare urchin]

@vital glen Crazy as in over 300 whp im every wheel

[vital glen]

@rare urchin what?

[rare urchin]

The awd and 4wd comment i left

[vital glen]

oh

I am blind

[fathom socket]

awd has a power split you know that right?

[vital glen]

yeah

[fathom socket]

unless its neutral split

[vital glen]

I understand the bias

my s550 has a 45:55

I am pretty sure

[rare urchin]

Emma i do know that it has a power split

[fathom socket]

just means variable power between the front and rear axle

thats all

if its a neutral awd system with 300 bhp at each wheel you would have 1200bhp

[rare urchin]

Ik

[vital glen]

go test out a chiron

[rare urchin]

Yes totally

[vital glen]

I can get you the hook up

[rare urchin]

Im not like soon 17 and theres no chirons in Finland

Amd i dont really care about hyper cars that much

[vital glen]

but you said

you want to drive a 1200whp car

that has awd

[rare urchin]

That doesnt mean it has to be a Chiron

[vital glen]

I just yelled classic 12year old thing

[rare urchin]

Cause A. I want to rip the fuck out of it B. Wayyyyy to expensive

[vital glen]

c. steal it

Put some drag tires on that chiron

and watch it go

[rare urchin]

D. Theres no Chirons in Finland

[vital glen]

F. buy a plane ticket

[rare urchin]

No

Im not coming to USA to see a car that i cant do anything fun in it

I rather go to Australia when Emma is done with her supra

[fathom socket]

tbh thats a much more fun option

[vital glen]

nah man

rent a 1500hp

supra

[fathom socket]

no because they blowup first pull

once they do their dyno run

they are gonski's

[rare urchin]

Yeah

[vital glen]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bszNaiSTcYk

I kinda doubt it

[fathom socket]

i still know which one i would prefer

[rare urchin]

Lambo

[fathom socket]

duh

[rare urchin]

[vital glen]

I pReFeR tHis

[rare urchin]

Yeah i know you do

[fathom socket]

you kids sure do love your rice crispies

[dense valve]

looks like an Rocket League car

[rare urchin]

I want a foxbody mustang so badly

[fathom socket]

all they do is pop a few times and then are just disapointment

[dense valve]

@dense valve but worse

[fathom socket]

(not the mustang)

[dense valve]

@dense valve and yes i just noted my self

[rare urchin]

The mustang doesnt get to pop cause its wrapped around a tree

I mean

Like fox body mustang is a dream car for me

But 6000 euros for one

That is red an ugly

No thanks

[vital glen]

@rare urchin you mean impounded for hitting a crowd of people?

[rare urchin]

[vital glen]

lol

[rare urchin]

Someone wants 6 grand for this

[fathom socket]

its a no from me

[vital glen]

it;s a bargain him down to 1grand

[rare urchin]

I would have to get so much shit for that car

Fully suspension and look trought if rust etc

[vital glen]

git rikt

guess the price

[rare urchin]

Not interested

[vital glen]

it's 1mil usd

[rare urchin]

The rims are ugly af

2015 coupe

89k and you csn realisticly drive it for maybe 6 months if you are lucky

Also theres apparently 3-4 Dodge Demons in Finland

@awsom_e#2024

Wiw

Thats not working

[vital glen]

stop it

you have broken the system

[rare urchin]

[vital glen]

3 dodge demons in finland

does it get warm enough to even drive it there?

[rare urchin]

Summer yeah

[vital glen]

does it get above 15f?

[rare urchin]

20-30 celsius

[vital glen]

Don't beleive you

[rare urchin]

But the tires have to be changed anyway in Finland

[vital glen]

not street legal?

[rare urchin]

Hell no

[vital glen]

street legal in the us

[rare urchin]

Well they are street legeal but police will notifu you for having too little tread in ur tires

[vital glen]

they won't do that here

they will follow you

and get you for speeding

[rare urchin]

Like they did when i ripped my Lada and almost blew my tires

Notify of lack of tread

But i was in a private area so they couldnt do anything

[vital glen]

dab

[rare urchin]

They just watched me rip it for maybe 15 to 45 mins and then said i have too little tread on my tires and fucked off 😂 😂 😂

[vital glen]

lolllllllllllll

[rare urchin]

Well i was in a private area and the owner of the land sat in my Audi when it worked

The senior officer just gave me thumbs up

Cause i know his son (Hes in a local car club with me)

[vital glen]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-69-Chevy-Nova-Chevelle-Camaro-Impala-Saginaw-3-speed-manual-transmission-/361894269287

I think we all need this

[rare urchin]

Yes

[vital glen]

@rare urchin miata or civic type r

[rare urchin]

Rather miata

Civics are usless cars imo

Its a cheap daily commuter but i rather have a BMW than a shopping bag

[vital glen]

BMW are expensive to maintain

[rare urchin]

Not here

[vital glen]

Meh miatas are meh

@rare urchin the real awnser is neither

[rare urchin]

Atleast they are rwd 😂

But if i had to choose from those 2 i would pick civic type r and sell it

[vital glen]

duh

[meager grove]

Prefer AWD on daily

[rare urchin]

I would too but i dont need to worry about daily drivers for a year anyway

[vital glen]

nah man

rwd drive

duh

[rare urchin]

Ofc it rwd

You do know that i am drifter

Henche the lack of anything else than rwd in my life

[vital glen]

good

Drift a awd

[sterile verge]

Classic question:
How to drift my FWD Volvo 850?

[vital glen]

I can tell you

[sterile verge]

Handbrake and right speed ay?

[vital glen]

no

[sterile verge]

A friend did it a couple o weeks ago, said it wasnt to hard but takes practice.

[vital glen]

Drive on ice

[sterile verge]

Boss said same thing

Only problem is the snow is too big now..

high*

[rare urchin]

@sterile verge Get some speed, jank the handbrake, let get sideways and turn the way you are going and give it slight gas

[sterile verge]

Sounds easy enough with the right speed..

[rare urchin]

Yeah

[sterile verge]

Should bring my car friend to show me lol..

[rare urchin]

Yes you should

Or do what i did when my sisters fiance wanted to teach me how to drive

[sterile verge]

brb

[rare urchin]

Alltough ive drove like 3+ years in that point

He made the mistake and borrowed my brothers bmw so i decided that it was a drift session

He went from a opel to this

And yes those are the chopped fingrrs from mcm

Im proud of him tbh

I havent recked it yet

Or he

[sterile verge]

lol

A few friends i know have wrecked 2-3 cars..

most cases its bad road or bad weather.. but 1/3 of the cases.. bad shit happens.

[rare urchin]

Well Finland i doesnt have the beat roads or weather

And we have bad drivers

[sterile verge]

finland eh?

BMW, typical classy mercedes and audi's and its general their an ass..

no blinkers, drive fast and aggressive 😦

[rare urchin]

I drive fast and aggressive but i use blinkers

And w124 isnt classy

Some BMW dont have brakes either

Ive almost got ran over buy a bmw going 90 km/h

Not the nicest thing to almost experience

[vital glen]

@rare urchin you know what

[rare urchin]

I know few things but what is it? @vital glen

[vital glen]

the best car is the mitsubishi Mirage

[rare urchin]

78 mirage 😂 😂

[rare urchin]

Mitsubishi Colt

[vital glen]

this is kinda car

that jake would buy

[rare urchin]

Why do i have the feeling that Jake owns a car like that

[vital glen]

let's ask him @rare urchin

[rare urchin]

Go ahead

[vital glen]

@fathom socket Hey do you only use 1 foot to hit the accelerator and brake pedal?

[fathom socket]

depends on my gear box

[vital glen]

manual

[fathom socket]

then yes

since i blip the throttle on downshifts

[vital glen]

ok

and automatic you use 1 foot?

[carmine summit]

you should drive an auto just like a manual

I know people that don't

[vital glen]

@carmine summit in an automatic you don't have a clutch or a shifter

I can not really do that

You have a lever

So how do I drive an automatic like a manual?

[civic spoke]

@vital glen With automatics you only use the right food, unless you want to do launch control or something. With manuals, then the left foot only operates the clutch, and the right does braking and accelerator.

How you blip the throttle while breaking (if you do it) depends on the person, but I just roll my foot over a bit if I want to blip it.

[magic coyote]

I kind of have to treat my auto like a "manual" since the position sensor is toast and it doesn't shift

in regular D and any selected gear other than L is 3rd gear, but L is 2nd?

so once I get up however high in RPM (roughly 4K) I shift

[vital glen]

@civic spoke meh
