Yeah, that's not easy to do. Same with a friend who's got a Celica GT looking for a GT-S. The 2ZZ engines are a nice slight upgrade.
Tfw you figure out how to simulate a Dyno graph for your cars engine
24valve 3.5L v6, makes 207hp@5250rpm and 316Nm@4000rpm. Those are taken from the spec sheet. From that I made the rest.
Should I get underglow for my 2010 P7B Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor?
Why do you have a Crown Vic ?
They are so boring and awful. It's like the 1995 time travelled to 2018
How hard would it be for someone with very little experience in cars to change a starter. I've done quite a bit of research into my make and model. I've bought the correct starter, and now I need to put it in or have a pro do it
I've also know I need to take out the intake, and throttle body to be able to reach it, and then it's only 2 bolts.
You could find a YT video first
As long as you understand the process and confident in your knowledge.
Thoughts on the new Fiesta ST that uses the 1.5 liter 3 cylinders?
Does it really matter if a car has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?
@civic spoke Ford hasn't been doing well from what I heard
They seem to be doing fine? Or are you talking about the cut North America is doing of the sedans?
Yeah I'm talking about the cut in the Sedans
I'm looking to get the 2015 Honda Civic or the 2015 Toyota Corolla S as my first car since I want a Japanese car and they are awesome cars
North America cutting down on the sedans has nothing to do with Ford not doing well.
It's all the fact that crossovers, SUV's and trucks sell a lot more than sedans.
Is that for Ford, Chevy, and GMC though? Because I see a lot more new VW, Toyota, and Honda sedans than American sedans. I don't think it's a market issue as much as it is that consumers don't care for American sedans for whatever reason(s).
Rip
@civic spoke Fiesta ST's and Focus ST's a critically acclaimed hot hatches
The sports department know what they are doing and have been for a very long time.
The 2017 version is a great car
I have little to no doubt the new fiesta will be a great car.
I bet the new ones will eat head gaskets just like the current ones
The issue that the Focus RS had was that the gasket for another model was installed on it.
Ooh, an Audi
jajaja
same as my dad's Q7 irl
the blueprint isn't the same as my dad's irl tho
so imma need to make some mods
I saw a hint of Volvo C30 in the front of that car.
Weird how dissimilar they look when you put them side by side irl
Q7 is also much larger.
A mediocre nostalgia trip ?
That's a Honda CRX with a MK2 Golf front end
Here are some of the cars used as a TF Ring taxi by various companies that I know of. All of them with various stage of tune, alignment, tires, body kits, etc.
APEX - Mclaren 720S, Team Schirmer BMW M3
Jaguar - Jaguar F-Type SVR, XJR 575
RingTaxi - Porsche 911 Turbo S, Huracan Performante
GetSpeed - Porsche 997 GT3 RS, BMW M3 Competition
Nurburgring - AMG GT R
This is a video of the best Biggest Dyno Fails! What one do you think was the Worst???
Anybody got the new lexus IS 350 F?
Inb4 Toyota stops selling the Corolla in America unless it's a "crossover" like the focus is going to be
I don't think so. I think they're just focusing on financial growth. If a car doesn't sell well, why sell it in a country where it doesn't sell well at all?
With the exception of halo models
Ford is certainly dying when it comes to sedans, their trucks still sell well though. It's just tough to beat the Honda, Toyota, and VW sedan lineup.
Their cars are behind in reputability, speed, and MPG.
Glad I got my focus ST before they decided to just drop out
Anybody know the C32 AMG?
I will never make the mistake of buying an American car again
@digital oracle Go head
so im looking to buy an 86 bmw e30 that comes with all the parts for an m50 motor swap and i was wondering if you guys knew anything about the difficulty of that?
@digital oracle Well the swap for a M50 engine is a popular mod and shouldn't be too difficult. It's a motor swap for a non-standard model, yeah, but it is well documented.
Here is a resource for teh swap
thank you very much
Should I get a pushbar and P-A system for my Crown Vic? My birthday is 19 days and I need gift ideas fast.
So you wanna be a cop ?
I'd say just a pushbar and a lightbar
Don't forget the flood lights.
Lots of LEDs
@polar crest what did you buy that you feel was a mistake?
@brittle niche Pushbar, yes. PA....be careful, they're not legal...pretty much anywhere.
Yo
@agile sonnet a cadillac
Ford do well in the UK. Fiesta is the most popular car in Britain. Pickups are becoming a little more popular here so the F150 is doing well. Transit is still successful but the Focus, KA, Mondeo (Fusion) and crossover models are a rarer sight
lol anything luxury from any any manufacturer is a money pit.
yep lol
Who owns a volkswagen passat?
I don't but I know a bit about them. Why do you ask?
Just put this in my car. Never done anything to my car before. Knew next to nothing about them.
But to put it in I had to take out the intake, the throttle body. Then take the old one out.
It was super difficult as I'm a car noob but I had so much fun, and my car still works
Never putting another starter in myself again though. I sacrificed enough blood to my car already. And burnt myself to shit on the coolant pipe too many times
Next day: Boom
I would actually cry. Lmao
Can't cry, you'd probably die from the explosion
Lol true.
I wouldn't be surprised if it exploded. I didn't unplug the ground from my battery because I was too lazy to take my tire off to get to it.
...
I never said I was the brightest
Pretty sure none of us are the brightest.
But one thing is for certain, we love our cars.
hmm not really
it's juste a car, i like it because if i lose it i'm in a big crap
the thing is i need it
but my next car will probably be much better and i will love it โค
@tropic zodiac what car do you have
i have a challenge for you
me?
can you guess what this thing is?
a mangled piece of metal
lol
Looks like a small spring.
@fathom socket 2013 Dodge Avenger
Looks like it might have been a bearing at one point
@fathom socket I own a 2004 Passat wagon
what did you do to it
looks like you took it out
burnt it
and then posted it here
nothing
just drove the car
the clutch was "a bit" in a bad shape
and a traffic jam killed it
@primal panther Depends on the price really. If you'd be happy with a TDI Golf/Passat/CC/Jetta, just go that route and enjoy the great fuel economy. If you want speed, you can't go wrong with the GTI, though the CC isn't a slouch either.
The GTI will probably hold value a lot better though (may even appreciate value depending on how long you keep it) though the TDIs are the same way.
@simple basalt my car had like 294 000Km (about 182683 miles) so i don't know if the clutch had ever been replaced before but it was just worn
and in the end it was reaaaally fucked up
i bought the car with like 284000 km
yeah then the previous owned seemed to abuse it
since
it's semi hard to break a clutch wihtout abusing it
and the clutch was already a bit hard but you know it was ok (and it's my first car so i was a car noob)
eh, when a car has done 300 000km it's normal ...
no it was a bit hard but usable
but i told you, i've been into a trafic jam and my clutch melt down xD
maybe i was a bit to hard with it
but it was already used when i had the car so anyway i would have to change it at some time
CC R line is R36 is it not?
@carmine summit 2.0 turbo
Oh
@warm sparrow Camshaft bearing?
oh nvm just read ahead
i mean seal but i was wrong anyway lol

Wiper blade suggestions? (24" & 22")
Currently have Rain-X Latitude blades, they're complete shit. They stopped doing even a half decent job within 6 months of installing them.

question for the car people in here, is a Grand Cherokee a good first car?
Don't be like me
I'm trying to convince my dad to drive me 2 hours to buy 3 Porsche 914s for my first cars
one is a rustbucket but it's complete, one is a moderately rusty bare shell, and the last one is a partially stripped roller with an engine and trans. None of them run.
@warm sparrow thatโs because of the clutch and the soft top was not secure

@runic trout Unless you need the 4WD option, you could get better MPG by getting something like this.
https://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/ctd/d/2013-audi-q7-30-tdi-premium-0/6582181735.html
or this.
https://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/ctd/d/2014-volkswagen-touareg-v6/6582180439.html
Both have AWD, but true 4WD will of course be better if you need it. Personally, I'd take MPG over 4WD or AWD, but that's up to you. Either way though, the Grand Cherokee and the two models I posted will all be good rides.
just get a Ford raptor and be happy lol
@simple basalt Not sure if totally joking, but it most people who get trucks need the space of the SUV, not the space of the flatbed. And on top of that, the MPG on the Raptor is dreadful. It's worse than a 1993 Grand Cherokee in that regard.
@rose dagger ty. the cherokee i looked at from a dealer near meme is the same price as a new 2018 Camry SE, would that be a better option?
@runic trout The Camry SE is a good buy, Toyota is pretty damn good regardless of model and year. If you want to spend $30k on a vehicle aiming for dependability and good MPG, that's a great choice. Personally, I'd use the money elsewhere and buy something like a 2012 Passat TDI SE for about a third of the price. If that's your target price range though, it's certainly nice to be the only owner of a car and the new Camry is damn sexy.
@rose dagger yeah toyota is pretty reliable, my parents are all for getting me a toyota, if i do choose a camry ill probably get an older model to save some money
Volkswagen diesel
@runic trout If you get anything older than the 2018 Camry, get a VW diesel (TDI) instead. The MPG of the <2018 isn't as good. You could also look at the 2012+ Honda Civic lineup. Those get 40+mpg
The 2003-2010 VW TDI's can get 55mpg if you have the manual transmission though. They're legendary amongst "hyper-milers"
Honda Insight or Tesla Model S anyone?
My abbreviation for Hypermilling
Ahh, my bad.
Those are also good for that. I personally see too many of those on used car sites with "needs battery" in the description. Scares me away on hybrids tbh
had the same thing happen to me awhile ago
Oh
Yeah, someone bought a Prius with a dead cell
@spiral mulch hoovies garage?
i found a stick shift kia sorrento in my area for about $7,500 and it got me thinking, imagine gapping civic bois in a stick shift suv lmfao
noice
Car shat itself yesterday. Going 80mph just fine. Feel a jolt, car revs to 8k rpms, and suddenly I'm not moving.
I guess it's probably the transmission. And if it is I'm scrapping the car.
hmmm
You could probably get a good transmission from the junkyard for a couple hundred dollars
Not worth the price of installation
I have very little car knowledge so I couldn't do it myself, I'd have it done by a shop. And most probably wouldn't do it because they didnt buy it.
huh
I did my starter myself just because no shop would. Because I bought the part
That's as far as my car knowledge goes XD
I couldn't get a tow truck, police escort, and sat on hold with insurance for 1 1/2 hours. So I drove it home myself. It wouldn't shift at all.
Thoughts on what the 2019 Mk.8 Golf R will be like, looking at its competitors which are pushing up to 400hp I'd guess it'll be around that mark as well, along with some form of hybrid technology, and I think that is mental in a golf, but in the pursuit of much more power than the current gen, could we see a VR6 once more, or would the hybrid technology means that they could stick to the 4 pot
3rd and 4th gear ratios permanently damaged, fault immediatly after shifting, and something wrong with my transmission control module.
So I'm scrapping my car.
Because I bought the part, it wasn't certified by them, excuses
i see
Most shops won't install parts that you provide.
Also, if you can change a starter, you can do a transmission. YouTube is your friend, get a friend to help (necessary for dealing with the torque converter bolts), and from there you just need a jack and a piece of wood to deal with the transmission. Overly simplified, but if you're mechanically inclined enough to do a starter, you really can do a transmission, despite it seeming scary and very different.
Starter in my car is difficult, it's pretty much in the engine, had to take out the intake and throttle body. It was like 8 bolts.
I figured a tranny is way different
Alot more goin on than just 2 parts
Starter was the first thing I've ever done inside a car btw.
Even a stick isnt horrible, infact its easier in my opinion ^^
my mechanic wants my to scrap my new old subaru
rip, thanks new england rust
anyone have a spare rear subframe?
I can't find a tutorial or vid on Avenger trannies
See if you can buy a Haynes book on the avenger. They usually show you the best way to get the job done, if you don't know a better one yourself.
Tesla
Golf GTE
pls
@calm mesa model 3
The GTE is really cool
Underrated imo
Not to mention it comes with seats from the factory
@calm mesa GTE, VW's interior is nicer, and a backup gasoline engine is really nice to have. You can't take the Tesla on a roadtrip, the Golf can do what the Tesla can't. The Tesla is more expensive too. Especially after all of the basically mandatory upgrades. And if you like having some control of your car, the Golf GTE has a triptronic transmission, the Tesla is all automatic.
And the GTE is available, you'd probably have to wait a couple years to get a Model 3
true
The worst part about driving a Camaro for delivering pizzas. This is literally all my tip money I earned going to gas
Get a MK1 Rabbit with a 1.6 NA diesel
Or a 1.5 if you can find one
52 MPG
It's only got 45 HP, but they're cool
Buy an $800 5-speed civic lol
The worst part about needing a van and ladders to get work done.
My company has a fleet of...close to 25 or 30 vehicles. I'm very thankful I have a fuel card, but man that most cost a lot per month in fuel.

How fast can you get it up to?
@lime copper Im thinking of buying one I just wanna know how quicc it can get
Guess you'll have to find out.
Just cost me $130 AUD to fill my car ;-;
@fathom socket 50cc ๐
rip
it's gonna cost me like $400 to replace my car's A/C system bc it's pretty badly fucked from what I can tell
Windows down, 60+ mph, you'll be okay.
Nah, still way too hot even with that
All black car with black leather interior. Only the driver window goes down all the way, the other four only go down half way (10/10 engineering. Thanks Chrysler...)
My car is also black with black leather. But all of my windows and moonroof work.
Oh, and the metal shifter is the worst! Like, I have to grab it all the time, but damn is it hot.

@fathom socket lol
the better solution to the no a/c issue is just get a bike, but that wouldn't be too helpful in winter
@ebon jasper top speed?
40km/h with a 60kg person on it (me) full auto tho, so probs be a bit better with a manual
@fathom socket But they are not tuned that well, seem to be more on the lean side at high RPM, I'm sure with a good tune and a better jet in the carburettor it might go a bit better
@ebon jasper is that trash?^
I dont know much about bikes and cars lol I just want a budget mini bike
@fathom socket If all you're gonna use it for is fun, I mean why not, best to lookup reviews first ๐
yeah just gonna use it to ride around my neighbor hood and maybe in the grass a little bit
Anyone here also part of the Saab lifestyle ?
My saab story:
(all money amounts are USD)
Got this car for $3000 on December 2017 it's a 1998 Saab 900 turbo SE
It was nice but leaked a little bit of oil turns out it was a bad valve cover gasket so I changed it.
I crashed it 1 month after owning it in Jan of 2018... that why I have a silver bumper on a white car.
Repairs from the crash mostly done by myself then looked over by a saab experts shop when I had it serviced just to make sure my work was good and I got commended on my good work.
Replaced a screen on the interior and the radio antenna and replaced some bulbs that were burnt out.
Fast forward a couple months nothing new happens until I hit the brakes and my car starts shaking like crazy and it wouldnt stop, had to pull the hand brake to stop it and I slowly limped the car back home.
Turns out all 4 of my brake rotors had been warped due to the previous owner turning them on a lathe and making them way too thin. So I had to replace all 4 rotors and pads which I did myself.
Was browsing the Facebook marketplace and someone had posted these Original Saab OEM roof racks for about $70 I instantly jumped on it and got them and they snapped right on.
This is the car now after it's been washed.
Tell me your Saab story.
My Saab story is N/A, I actually haven't seen many in my part of Australia
saabs arnt commen in aus anywhere
Thought so, last time I saw one was on a MCM ep on youtube ๐คฃ
I learnt to drive in a Saab. I Currently have a Hyundai Excel but I am looking at getting one when I save up ๐

nice little things to drive on road combine with the part time 4x4 its awsome
and you can drop in a G16B engine with power steering
Who needs power steering? Put a bus steering wheel in there.
you need power steering in aus with the 4wd tracks we have
Not when you have a 3' wheel. Mechanical leverage. That said, I'd want power steering as well...
nah power steering on the beach your arms will thank you
I dunno, I never found I needed it in the sand as long as I had a big steering wheel.
we have the soft stuff here that will turn into ruts
basicly the rule in aus aswell
Around me is just sugar sand, which is awesome.
But can be tricky for four wheeling.

Single Cab from Plan B Supply is 32,400 with the 8.7 turbo
my lazy model in blender for it
not to scale at all
17ft long on bottom 20ft when hanging over cab
looks nice just remeber if you do get that you need to make space for water tanks and with the a/c a good solar and battery set up with options to connect to 110/240v
A/C parts are so expensive .-.
wait till you have to get a system de gassed by a pro they wont be nice on cost tho a/c parts are expensive since they have to handle a gas as cold as 4 degree's
making me miss my laser now since it had a/c and the manual a/c (and yes i did this on it just never took the pic)
lol
89 ford laser a/c and power steering were optional yet mine had both
and i called it the putt putt mobile
its a joke on the sound it made
lol
cause when i started it just made a putting sound so thats how i named it
if i ever find its key's im getting clear resin and casting them into it
and yes it needed 2 keys 1 for the door and 1 for the ignition
rip
it was funny watching people who didnt know try to get in tho
It'd be funny if someone tried getting in my car
Driver door lock doesn't disarm the alarm anymore for some reason, so they'd get a nice surprise when they open the door after unlocking it ๐
nah just try to steal a old ford laser with keys that dont have a way of showing what one does what
and for americans add a manual gearbox
and maybe a round about
lol
I've never driven a manual, though I at least have a rough understanding of how to drive one
understanding and knowing how to do it right is totaly diffrent
lol
take driving as it is but remeber you now have to add 5 more things to remember
and if you mess 1 up your destroying a clutch
or your gearbox
yeah
gotta remember
move hand to gearstick
match rpm and speed
leg in with clutch to floor
shit gears (say your going from 4 to 3 its: down, across, down)
put hand back on wheel
move leg at steady pace to not stall
oh and do it without looking
Without looking is easy
At least once you've memorized each gear's location
wouldn't be a very nice surprise to be going for 2nd and end up in 4th
lol ive done it and so has my brother just takes a little longer to get going
lol
tho cant tell in his car (now my sisters when it should have been mine) since its got a sports tune
Damn, just discovered rockauto, glad I did

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNJH1rikujI things you can do to diesels
This week, Alex swaps out diesel for used chip fat, to find out how well this heroic old Skoda runs on it SUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/CTSubscribe VISIT OUR SHOP...
feed them old chip oil
and if you take the time and cost you can make biodiesel (tho anything rubber will get ruined)
When running WVO it's far better to run a dual tank setup, and to heat the oil before it goes into the engine. Heating it thins it, and before you shut it off you run it on diesel so the oil doesn't congeal in the injection system.
Turns out it wasn't my transmission that went out. When I replaced my starter, I broke a wire harness apparently. And that messed everything up somehow
Quick 200$ fix, alot better than buying a new tranny or car
That's a good thing.
Hey, that's really not that bad of a price either! I imagine there was some discovery in figuring it out.
Congrats on keeping it living for awhile longer.

My dad called me a dumbass for saying my transmission was broken. The mechanic told him it was just a wire harness. But I just tried picking it up only to be told. "It's your 3rd and 4th gear ratios. You toasted the tranny.".
The wire harness was only a small problem for a much bigger issue.
I have a hard time believing you lost 3rd and 4th gears unless that thing was severely overheating.
What was it you had again? Magnum?
Dodge avenger from 2013. I found out a bit too late it had almost no transmission fluid.
Grabbing a quote for rebuilding it. If I don't think it's reasonable. I'll probably scrap it at a dealer. They have this thing where they'll give 2.5k for your junkers. And buy a beater.

Maybe get a set of headers and bring it to an exhaust shop and get them to make something with 3" pipe and 2 resonators
So
What about peugeot now ? https://www.topgear.com/car-news/new-peugeot-508-sw-will-carry-all-dogs
Can gas prices stop going up please I don't like spending $60 every day
Working as a pizza driver is putting me into debt
id say they are paying for fuel
I might be buying a RB swapped BMW later this year
@warm sparrow if you do pizza delivery (in the states), you pay for your own fuel and use your own car, typically.
wow
in europe u don't use car for pizza delivry
u use small motorbikes
so of course if you have a big ass v8 for pizza delivery you probably pay much
@rare urchin e46?
E30 @candid rune
My ride. I love it
Yeah it's a polstar @candid rune
@sterile vine don't park in the middle of the road!
That's not the accually picture of my car just one online of it. Mine looks almost the exact same besides mine having a black box in the left side of the grill for some sensors, and some sensors under the mirror to. Same color same wheels ect tho
I just didnt have a good pic
I personally dont like the newer Volvos
Yeah but I kinda like how it's like most people just think it's another volvo
Yet it goes 0 to 60 in 4.7
I love a good ol' 242 or 240 gl with eu front
Yeah those do look nice
One of my old game friends have one
i never understood SAAB as more than a failed GM subsidiary
and they made that wagon that shared the boxer motor with the WRX
i just realized saab is (or was) Scania ...
Tesla model X
@candid rune that wagon (9-2X) was a Subaru Impreza rebadged, with better sound deadening and STI steering. Saab was around long before GM got their hands on them. I never liked them, but man are there some people that go crazy for them...
@agile sonnet sti steering you say? i wonder if i can find one in the toronto area and hope to god i don't get hit with "racecar" tax
civics are a no go lol
Volkswagen. The answer to many problems.
@carmine summit also the problem
germans and electronics lol
they do know how to make a mean diesel though
MK2 Golfs and Jettas are great
yeah, if only i could insure my godfather's mk2 carat
im probably gonna get a ford fiesta or honda fit
or a yaris, but then i can't do mild upgrades to it and make it into a slow autocross car
If my dad buys a new car this summer I'm going to obtain a MK2 Jetta with an AAZ and enough parts to build 2 more lol. I'm probably still going to buy one I know is sitting. Can never have enough VWs lol
my friend just got a clean af g35 with 76,000 kms for 12k CDN
im so jealous
if your friends getting nice rides doesn't make you even more determined to be successful idk what will
Hears VW and Diesel in the same sentence, [TRIGGERED]
But at the same time, I mean, cmon...
@warm sparrow Saab was not scania... Saab Scania was a partnership Saab and the company Scania had for a long time but they were not one company. Scania still made trucks

Hey, I'm looking at two different TDI VWs and was wondering if anybody here had some knowledge. One is a 2005 Golf with 200k miles, manual transmission. The other is an '05 Passat wagon 162k miles, auto transmission. They're about the same price, I know the Golf would have better fuel efficiency, but I'm driving a 2004 Passat 1.8T right now and I do love the space of it. Are the TDI autos from that year/generation bad? Or will they last until I sell the thing in two or three years?
@ me if you respond
@split edge okay but i know scania is still alive

I just crashed my dad's car. The power steering went out mid turn. I got scared, thought I hit the brakes, but actually hit the gas.
Plowed into a concrete barrier, wooden sign post, and metal street sign, and curbed the car.
I'm uninjured. Single car collision. But FML
The biggest thing I don't understand. My information center says the left tire has no air. But it's the right tire that is completely off of the rim
you're uninjured for the moment but you're dad could make it different XD
i'm sorry but it's funny " thought I hit the brakes, but actually hit the gas"
how??
and i think you could have broken some sensores
I made a mistake thought I moved my foot but didn't.
RIP Camaro
I think I broke the front axle
it's awd?
The steering wheel is completely limp when the car is off. Don't think it should be able to rotate.
No
lloyd to be fair i have made the same mistake of hitting the accelerator then brakes its easy to do with shoes
Rwd
When police arrived on the scene, pretty much the first thing that happened was she accused me of speeding and took my license and registration and insurance.
My mom who got there before her to help me with everything heard her and threw a fit.
If you were speeding, the damage would obviously be worse.
That cop must be under quota this month.
yeesh
Bad luck D:
defently under quota but knowing cars these days if you could pull sensor data it would show otherwise
Car is already at the shop being repaired. I've got a rental car. Thank God for accident forgiveness, full coverage, and vanishing deductible. Only 50$ out of my pocket.
just wait till insurance goes up ๐ฎ
hopefully you get money from gm or something
The best thing about the Tesla Shooting Brake is that you still have the drivetrain warranty.
@tropic zodiac you panicked, and thusly made a mistake. you're new to driving, so mistakes ARE going to happen. main thing is you're not hurt and the car is repairable. You can't always be prepared for everything that will happen on the road, so neither is this your dad's fault either. Side note: good thing the airbags didn't deploy either : )
hey @fiery dragon you realize the are so many skylines in the bay right? even i know someone with one personally
there's even an r34
up in the tri valley
Yeah.
I say that, but I'm from a country where skylines aren't even rare (australia) xD
I literally rode in a friend's R34 GTT more times than I can count
There's a car that was sold in Australia that I kinda want. R31 Skyline wagon.
Google Tata nano
Yeah, those things are nice. But they're actually rare around here, it's weird. Corolla KE70's are also starting to become rare too...
@torn ice seen it. back when clarkson was on topgear, he said this about it
@primal panther accident forgiveness, my insurance won't go up? Why say that lol.
Alot of the time insurance goes up after a crash @tropic zodiac (not always). That's prb why he said that
This new r1234yf refrigerant is such ass
not only is it flammable, but it also costs way more
I can get 12oz of r134a for $5, but by the looks of it, it's about $45 for 8oz of r1234yf
So nearly 14x as expensive
hey does anyone play assetto corsa ?
(probably)
i have a g29 without shifter
do you need do desengage the clutch with manual gearbox if you use pads?
I can't remember when's the last time my car was this clean
no @warm sparrow
i can't remember last time my car was clean
maybe because even when it's "clean" it's full of scratches
Don't have to clean your car if you have a bike
I have a bike but riding 60km every day, no thanks
What do you commute in?>
What do you drive
I wouldn't laugh @warm sparrow
Appreciate what you have. A lot of people in the world who can't afford it would love to have that car
i ilke it but i know there's a lot of american guys here with much biger cars...
countries are very different
big = / = good
the turning circle of a LWB car will be much wider than that of a short one
..what is that car? Also, it looks like it could be fun to drive around in.
tsa boring ass peugot ๐
see, american needs big ass hardcore polluting V6 at very least
it's a 307 HDI 90 from 2001
just a normal car for normal use
hahahahahhahaha
a V6 ???
for americans ?!!?
with the weight they have to pull its a V8 or go home
My cars (outside of work) are fairly small and low powered. Daily is a Ford Focus, which is only good for 170HP....and then a Jeep which is only good for 190HP. They're a ton of fun, in their own way. I don't need a large vehicle with a V8, but I do think it'd be fun to have one as a once in a while car.
Focus has a nonturbo I4, Jeep has a nonturbo I6. I would certainly enjoy putting a turbo on either one...
I'd still take a V8 over a turbo 4, though. Easier on all of the internals of the motor not having that much boost.
...for applications where I need that much power, I mean (like, I have to tow/haul something heavy).
Plus newer engines, at least some of them can disable cylinders to be more fuel efficient.
Not nearly as polluting as before.
@hardy osprey that's why i said "at least"
(and by the way, 90 is the number of HP ...)
๐
infiniti's variable valve engine is nice, V6, NA and 320 HP on the G37
I just saw a classic Mustang, don't know the year, but it had RGB ring headlights why would you tarnish such a nice car with those
I want to say it was from the sixties though
I'd take a inline 6 over a V8 these days now.
Rgb makes the car run better.
The only v8 I like is the ford 5.0 coyote, but for inline 6 I can't let go of a ford inline 6 Barra
I have a 2.0 4 cyl in my car good for 300hp
S3 i suppose ๐
I have a stock Ford FG XR6 Turbo Falcon with the Turbo 4.0l inline 6 making 400HP, people online have gotten 1000+ out of them
yeah, but on the sydney dragway lol
you don't want to push the engine that hard daily, that's a nice UTE btw
that gauge section looks cheap for that kind of car
Eh, I like it. I like my ute one more tho
same for that one, looks like a pic out of beamng
audi speedometers look much higher quality
Thats cause it's Audi, what do you want for a Aussie made car haha
it's not hard to make a good looking dash..
I really hate the G6E dash...
has nothing to do with coming out of audi
those things are easy to make at this time and date really
you can make your own that would blow an audi dash out of the water
Yeah, true, but If I was going to do something like that I'd just do a Haltech dash, but as it is I like the dash on my falcons
looks dated tbh, probably because holden's cheaping out
I've never really being in a Holden
those things are all more or less the same, just slapped different names on
i mean the holden to ford thing
Ahhh I see
Yeah, I'm not a fan of that actually
Haha, think my next car I'd look at would be a ranger
meh
Gotta have my utes ๐
what are you using them for anyway?

Golf 7r haha
basically an S3 in volkswagen form ๐
Haha y
what do you guys think of this?
a 13 altima is what i leaned to drive in
i want a manual because CVTS are god awful
and this has a VQ motor in it, so i can keep up with Zs and Gs
im aware that DEs burn a little bit of oil
the only thing that may stop me from getting this car is the insurance, because of the engine plus this was more expensive to insure for my dad than a 17 RDX
Holy crap. The M5 is a beast wrapped in fine silks. It's deceptively dangerous.

hey guys, I have a chance to buy a 2005 subaru legacy GT limited for 5k. it has 200k miles on it but is SUPER clean, like the interior is like new, the engine is clean, it has new exhaust, replaced gaskets, seals, bearings etc. shifts like butter. the KBB is about 4k for it but its in really good condition
I don't trust KBB ever
Look for comparable cars and see how they're priced
And no matter what, try to talk them down

I really want a bike tho
I mean
look at it ๐
its funny tho
my mother rides with my dad on his sypder
and I ride with him too
but I can't have a bike ๐
I've always wanted to get an old bike and put a new turbo snowmobile engine on it with some mods
?
Called you here
I don't want a new engine for this
400cc is plenty for me.
I don't want to race and I don't think I really need more power.
@hardy osprey 400cc is plenty for me too. And its always fun to ride a slow ride fast than a fast ride slow. For that very reason i have a 150cc too lol
Want to race? XD jk I'd lose
I finished putting my project car back together. New motor, new transmission, exhaust work (so it's quiet).
But there's almost no insulation inside the vehicle so it's loud and rumbley. I don't mind the "gutted out" feel. Takes me back to my teenage days of modding cars. But I'm older and got that whole family thing now.
I'm planning on pulling up the old carpeting and the door panels to lay down some spray on insulator. I'm also thinking about using some thin carpet padding or ac duct sealer (not duct tape) on top of the spray.
I'm wondering if anyone has experience with insulation regardless of project type. What what's best in your opinion? Any specific brand of spray or padding?
Thanks

What do you think about this for a tagline in a safe driving psa? "The moment you lose control, is the moment nothing is the same again..."
Anyone know what would be causing the low side of an A/C loop to only get down to around 60PSI with the system running at full blast? (Over 100PSI while the system is off. Not blowing cold air. Temperature is set to as low as it'll go on the climate control. 2006 Ford Freestyle)
Idk but if its anything like a Ford Crown Vic's HVAC system, its usually something stupid. Try looking on owner forums.
Sounds like it could be a control valve in the compressor, gotta do some more testing to make sure though

I bet that ranger is a ton of fun with that 302.
302 Ranger? Sounds like it'd be a blast
So, I wanna buy a craiglist trans am and I will have the money soon to do so. The problem is the guy is listing it with no title which is illegal in my state. My sister told me to run away with a hint of nope since the guy is only asking for 1000 and it is running as to her that sounds stolen and shady as fuck. What I was thinking of doing was contacting the guy and explaining okay, but only if you can get a duplicate title and properly do the paperwork with me. Which should I do?
oops
so um..... i got one of these for my first car. ignore the fact i have two here, it's complicated
but what do you guys think about the Z3's suitability for a first car
(it's got the 1.9 engine)
i'm 16 years old and i've been working on restoring both of these
e46 is obviously the best 0.0
i mean i would've loved an M3 but I don't have 10 grand laying around
true
And I mean the women in my life love what I have so I'm all good ๐ ๐ ๐ it still looks damn fine when I'm out in it and i look at the car in the reflection on the store windows
@pallid sky vroom vroom 
๐จ
@turbid karma Make sure you get paperwork. No paperwork no deal. Try googling the VIN number and see if anything comes up.
ok
okay, this is getting shady he went down to 750 from 1000 on a working transam. I think I might tell him no at this point it sounds stolen
you could always see if there is a reward for turning him and the car in 0.0
https://baltimore.craigslist.org/cto/d/1989-trans-am-gta/6637173515.html I mean I don't think so, but this sounds shady as fuck.
@turbid karma that thing looks like it has been sitting there for a while
It has, but with the parts even if sitting seems to be worth quite bit more than that. The only issue, known is the fuel tank and they're not that expensive to replace. If it's in the exact condition he's claiming I think that car can go for like 10 grand plus. The 2 red flags are the lacking title and how much he dropped it already. In my state I don't think you can sell a car without a title.
I mean it needs a paint job too, though
it needs a lot more than a paintjob and fucking fuel tank
thank god it is isn't unibody
what else does it need?
not a car person, so enlight me.
well either new seats, or fix the leather
I mean I can do that later I thought you meant something to make it run
honestly, I'm thinking of bailing on it completely cuz of how shady he is with the other shit
Did you call V. up?
he's in another county, but I'm debating on messaging him first.
I googled the phone number

should I try engine instead?
