Aaaand electric cars are about to become the norm.
patent basalt
Wel I have an f150 and a Chevy 2500 duramax lol
shadow osprey
Interesting picks
Anyone know a good site for buying used trailers? I've been trying to find a single car hauler for around a grand, but they basically don't exist in the mid atlantic
Craiglist trailers is a shit show with all the repeat dealer ads
stoic ledge
@magic arrow Great GLE review, the shots in the snow were beautiful!
Kinda strange Mercedes uses a Nexen tire as a spare tho 👀
mint talon
Does anyone know much about turbo chargers
keen swallow
what do you want to know?
mint talon
okay so
I am debating whether to keep my car N/A
it is a straight 6 2.7L
pushing ~300hp atm
shadow osprey
bmw?
shadow osprey
Don't those use boxer engines?
mint talon
nope!
straight 6 in mine 😃
the new one yes
boxer 4 cylinder
and yes, i have winter rims and winter drive it
😃
shadow osprey
9 grand holy shit
mint talon
okay so i am debating whether to keep it N/A or if a turbo charger is a good idea
i haven't driven many porsches with turbos
and i'm unsure how the lag would affect the drive
shadow osprey
Well... you'd have all the power you have now until the charger spools
stick will spool slightly faster than auto, doesn't matter that much though
fair bronze
Porsche doesn't make a straight six, never has
mint talon
ah that is a boxer?
shadow osprey
2014? aging?
fair bronze
I like it more than the new one
mint talon
yeah i am worried about mostly oversteering when the turbo spools
especially during winter since i do daily winter drive it
its 2019 yeah lol 5 year old now
shadow osprey
Last year I bought a 21 year old truck... your car just rolled off the lot. it's not old
mint talon
i hatee the 781 man
the new caymans they are all 4 cyl turbos
i test drove one and did 5 minutes and went back to dealer
shadow osprey
everything these days are 4 cyl turbos
mint talon
cereal5 but thats a truck 😛 very different utility
fair bronze
The 4 cylinder makes it sound like a Subaru which doesn't suit a Porsche
shadow osprey
^
fair bronze
6 cylinder ftw
mint talon
YES borger
omg the sound it was like driving a VW jetta
i mean thats what porsches are basically
a VW beetle with length
shadow osprey
I'd imagine a stage 2 kit would need something like head studs, at the very least?
mint talon
what is that? 😛
shadow osprey
...I would recommend stage 1
mint talon
I am not very car knowledgable
shadow osprey
And you'll probably blow a head gasket or three if you don't do your research
fair bronze
Personally I wouldn't risk damaging the engine, since Porsche engines are expensive to fix
They can be very delicate too
shadow osprey
Yeah. the super tight packaging makes it that much more annoying also
mint talon
tell me about it just spent 7k on a new clutch flywheel this summer after a couple dozen track days
fair bronze
Exactly
mint talon
but that is the cost of fun i suppose 😛
fair bronze
That's true
mint talon
I am really working on my corner exit technique and i am really just worried about adding a turbo and ruining what i've learned
shadow osprey
It says it only runs 4 psi, granted that's probably only stage one
mint talon
so i'd rather spend more money keep it NA to add power than spend 10kish on a turbo
shadow osprey
Makes me wonder how it even makes up for the added weight lol
mint talon
you know, when i saw the HP numbers for porsches other than the 911 turbo/S gt3's i was pretty unimpressed too
but I suppose there is a lot more to power than just HP like compression ratios (?) :S
fair bronze
It's also when the power kicks in, how much the car weighs, the balance, etc
shadow osprey
Just like anything complicated, there's tons of factors
mint talon
when i drove my first porsche i was in love, it was a 1980s 911
shadow osprey
power to weight matters a hell of a lot more, especially on auto cross. You probably do real track stuff though
mint talon
and then my boss lent me his targa 4s for 6 months when he was vacationing
i just had to get one after that
shadow osprey
You got one hell of a boss
fair bronze
I've driven a 997 which was amazing
shadow osprey
I'd be lucky to ever set foot in a porsche
mint talon
omg yes the 997 is amazing i hear , the 993 i believe is what i really want
shadow osprey
All my friends are muscle car guys xD
mint talon
cereal5 i bought mine for like 75k not too bad
fair bronze
Haha
shadow osprey
I'm looking at cars 10% of that price
mint talon
sorry, i don't mean to sound entitled lol
fair bronze
I don't even own a car
fair bronze
No worries
mint talon
yall are probably muchhh younger than me though
shadow osprey
I'd rather build a 30k car that can drive circles around a porsche anyways... 😉
mint talon
trust me my brother is a mechanic
and his MR2
destroys my car
its embarassing driving next to him
mint talon
i loveee it!
toyota mid engine pure love man
that engine sound too
and 95$ for 4 brake pads, cant beat that
fair bronze
Toyota ftw
mint talon
ty for your advice guys
I think I will go for the stage 1 actually, and see if i can buy a stage 2 upgrade maybe next year
fair bronze
Good luck with everything
mint talon
haha! I always really focused on my technique so i avoid too much irratic change in speeds
i love running 6-8k revs constantly
like F1 racing
shadow osprey
Multiply that by 2 then you have F1 car RPMs
mint talon
LOLOL yeaaa seriously! 😛
fair bronze
It's insane
mint talon
my boss has an enzo and a scuderia (?)
doesn't let me drive the enzo but i drive his scuderia and that thing tops out at 10k
it is such a feeling especially when you are oversteering into a turn and all you gotta do is gas it
mint talon
LOL i rented a truck last month that did that too 😛
i was like WOW that sound - and look at RPM its at 3k
then look at gas meter, 100miles it drops almost 30%
shadow osprey
Diesel for life
mint talon
yeahh my dad is a fisherman and he goes by that rule too
definitely work ing man's car
odd talon
997.1 Turbo 6M is a good deal
However, pretty much all ICE cars feel antiquated compared to electrics.
tight cypress
carmine summit
@mint talon just get a small ish turbo so it isn't laggy
if you can get one with variable geometry that would work even better
stoic ledge
@tight cypress Mégane ?

patent basalt
Anyone else have a show car?
vital glen
none of those are show cars, let's be honest
patent basalt
My challenger is
shadow osprey
Yeah I'm gonna have to agree with the above ^^
patent basalt
That’s it’s not a show car?
patent basalt
It has won its class at many shows so how is it not a show car? It comes out of the garage for shows only, show car = car that’s used for shows as in my challenger lol
shadow osprey
What class is that? Super stock 😂
It's funny... cause that's an NHRA class... and yeah nvm
warm sparrow
I agree
i don't know how you car shows work but this challenger seems pretty normal 🤔
and i suppose it's a pretty common car in the US
so i don't understand how it can win, it has nothing special
patent basalt
Damn y’all salty as hell lmao people hating on my challenger probably drive garbage anyway 😂
warm sparrow
if it was an old car, yeah why not but otherwise... 🤔
patent basalt
Sorry I can afford to have ima challenger sit in my garage for no reason other than car shows
warm sparrow
who hates?
i just say it's a normal car so i don't understand how it won but otherwise it's a nice car, they are pretty rare where i live and i like it
patent basalt
It obviously does wel at shows seeing all the awards I have and I’ve only owned it for one summer that’s one year of shows most of them first place if you look at them
There’s a ton of little thing, under the hood is where most of the appearance mods are done the goose wheels and these rgb halls get a ton of attention
Foose wheels
warm sparrow
ok... i thought car shows in USA where a little bit more crazy than that
but as i said we don't have these here so i don't know how everything works in a car show
patent basalt
Just anyone cane bring any car to it and enter it there’s a lot more boring cars than mine at shows most of the time
Some are a lot bigger and have a huge variety of good stuff
stoic ledge
@patent basalt What mods did you do to it ? Kinda curious to see the engine bay since you've done a lot of work under the hood 😉
patent basalt
Not much for performance under the hood a lot of appearance items though I’ll grab some pics of that sometime today for ya
stoic ledge
Ok thnx 
vital glen
@stoic ledge You will smell a lot of plastic though
magic arrow
i mean technically speaking all of what i get are show cars right?
Trackhawk gets dropped off tomorrow 😄
but let's be fair, the real show stopper is actually Andie
stoic ledge
No what you get dropped of are the fastest cars in the world: they aren't yours xD
And yeah Andie is cool 😎
@vital glen I'm used to that smell ;)
warm sparrow
who?
stoic ledge
@warm sparrow
It's @magic arrow 's channel, reviewing cars starring... Andie the lab(rador):
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY8eWUbY7jK-aUYveAhtx8w
vital glen
@stoic ledge oh yeah yeah
shadow osprey
I wouldn’t buy a challenger anyways, and yeah I can’t afford it. Doesn’t mean I can’t talk shit 😂
Ya know what I find funny? People talking about how their 2011 car is so old, and then someone else comes up and says their 2007 is a piece of crap
And I’m like... yeah I voluntarily bought a 1998 pick up truck... ¯_(ツ)_/¯
patent basalt
It’s so easy to talk shit about things you can’t afford lol
I have three trucks lol a set of wheels of one of them are probably worth more than your truck
shadow osprey
Again, I can talk shit about whatever I want. You have yet to tell us why your car is an award winning show car
Saying you did “some mods” doesn’t count
The judges or your car show probably can’t afford all those trucks either
Yet they’re the one giving the award lmao
I have no doubt that your car is clean, but anyone can have a clean car
You didn’t even say what class your car is in lol I asked that yesterday
vital glen
It won the funny car class @shadow osprey
shadow osprey
It's not as funny the second time
vital glen
Just because the young man can add rgb headlights to his Challenger
@shadow osprey you know what foose wheels are?
shadow osprey
I know of them
vital glen
@patent basalt you got them hood pictures?
shadow osprey
I've decided that I hope your wheels do cost more than my entire truck, because Chip Foose wheels are garbage
Also, I doubt they do. Age isn't the only determining factor in cost
vital glen
Wait, he has 3 trucks
A focus
And a Challenger r/t
Presumably several buggies
And shitty wheels for all of them
patent basalt
Lmao you guys are great
Factory wheels on most of my cars and trucks just after market on one my wheels cost more than your cars lol it’s always nice when people talk shit about all my rides they can’t afford
magic arrow
I get the Trackhawk tomorrow to AMA on here and i'll try and answer throughout the week
shadow osprey
I already gave you my reasoning there so...
And you have yet to tell us anything about your award winning car
You came in here bragging about it, so show us why it's so nice lmao
That's all we're asking
patent basalt
I was never bragging about it lol this is a car channel I showed it to everyone as I’m proud to own it
I never once claimed it was super nice I said I use it as a show car and it does well shows around me are probably diffferent than you I live in farm country.
shadow osprey
I might add, you saying "it’s always nice when people talk shit about all my rides they can’t afford" and "people hating on my challenger probably drive garbage anyway" shows quite a lot about your character.
I might think that a Ferrari F40 is garbage
You don't have to agree with me
And oh by the way, I still don't know what class this car competes in in shows
patent basalt
Usually competes In 2005+ closed car or mopar classes
shadow osprey
Is closed car like a select list of cars that can compete?
patent basalt
Usually mostly Camaro, mustang, and challengers in that, your average sports car typically is found there, each show is different some are 300+ cars others just a few dozen
stoic ledge
Still curious to see what the engine bay looks like 😅 😉
vital glen
@magic arrow does it do burnouts
shadow osprey
It’s RWD right?
carmine summit
Pretty sure all challengers that age are
So it's a challenger with really poorly designed expensive wheels and rgb headlights? Makes sense
wheat hatch
I don't necessarily with everything @shadow osprey said, but I do agree on that you, @patent basalt , need to think a bit before you lash onto others. Saying things like, "It’s so easy to talk shit about things you can’t afford lol" or "I have three trucks lol a set of wheels of one of them are probably worth more than your truck", will make you look quite snobby (and an asshole on top of that). No hate, just a bit of advice to avoid making conversations here awkward.
stoic ledge
Yeah I agree with @wheat hatch , "you can't afford it" is one of the most used 'reasons' I've heard which is just... Well 💩
Just because I can't afford a car doesn't mean I can't form an opinion about it? If that's the case, I can't have an opinion about any new car.
On the other side, they are really hating on the car of which he is really happy. And he should be, it's a nice car. If it's not your style .. well too bad to be you.
But also, I wanna see why it's a show car, like seeing that pic from under the hood like you promised xD
fathom socket
Hey fellows
I’m getting a used car
And I was wondering if the total mileage around 70,000 is worth it
stoic ledge
@fathom socket I don't understand, what's your question ?
fathom socket
I’m looking for my first used car
stoic ledge
Yes
fathom socket
And i need an advice
stoic ledge
Sure
fathom socket
2014
stoic ledge
About 17k miles a year, yeah I'd consider that as normal
(or a bit more as average for a petrol/gas car, but shouldn't be a problem)
Tbh I'd rather have a car with a higher mileage but well maintained than a car with low mileage but unknown service records
With that mileage, you're almost 99% sure the car has done longer trips, on which the engine got on temperature
I shouldn't worry about it
fathom socket
At first
I wanted the Ford Focus hatchback
But it’s too much for my parent to confirm and pay
fathom socket
Cruze
stoic ledge
USA ? I don't know which engines they sold over there... is it a 1.8, a 1.4 Turbo or... ?
fathom socket
1.4
fathom socket
Yeah
stoic ledge
You're asking to a Europe boy, 99% of the cars here are FWD 😛
For daily driving it's fine
Especially with a 1.4T
You won't really benefit from RWD
fathom socket
Awd?
stoic ledge
Depends on where you live, If there's a lot of snow then AWD can be better
Otherwise... nah
fathom socket
Too bad I won’t drive alone until someone besides me can guide me and verify that I’m ready
fathom socket
I’ll start off with auto for beginner
Then later on
I can search for a car that’s manual
stoic ledge
So the Cruze will be an auto then ?
fathom socket
Yeah
stoic ledge
6-speed manual with the 1.4T can be a gamble (some bad bearings), that's why I asked
At least, if they used the same gearbox as in our Opel's, but I think they did
Although they fixed it for 2014 models
1.4T + auto is fine
Looks like the 1.4T was always paired with an auto in the States
No worries then
fathom socket
When did you first drive?
fathom socket
Legal
stoic ledge
Well my first drivers ed lesson was in january of 2016, until you've got your license you can only drive during drivers ed around here
Got my license in april of 2016
But had to wait until august of 2016 (to turn 18 y/o) before I was allowed to drive alone
fathom socket
Ah
indigo coral
My craigslist habit is going to get me in trouble one of these times
... lol
'98 A4 Quattro for 500$ not bad
stoic ledge
Probably gonna need tripple that with the next service
odd talon
@indigo coral 1.8 or 2.8
indigo coral
2.8
odd talon
ok, do the timing chains
odd talon
alternatively, if you can do a swap
swap in the 4.2
i THINK it'll fit
I know the 2.7tt will fit for sure
and obvs the 1.8t will
if its an auto, fluids are important
stoic ledge
LS swap it
odd talon
that would be cool too
indigo coral
It's a manual.
stoic ledge
Ofcourse a 2.7 TT will fit, the S4 was shipped with it xD
indigo coral
It's at 200k miles, is that something to be particularly concerned about?
indigo coral
thats' the thing, if it works for a year then thats a damn good deal
odd talon
if you REALLY care
you can have it last basically forever
but obviously you have to work
i have a soft spot for the b5 chassis
stoic ledge
And since it's an audi, parts will be expensive xD
odd talon
but you can find a lot of parts off s4s
and the parts are usually good
get VCDS if you need to diag
indigo coral
More or less expensive than my RX? (Speaking of that car, we're going to have to do the timing belt soon.)
odd talon
RX300?
indigo coral
yeah
stoic ledge
But no clue tbh
indigo coral
1999 rx300, supposed to have been done at 90k
odd talon
the RX300 has a severe oil sludge issue
indigo coral
We bought it at 115 and I've driven it up to 125
odd talon
i'd probably only use synthetic oil at this point
indigo coral
We got the car for 100$, and we only use synthetics.
indigo coral
bought it from a friend, it's my first car
odd talon
you should learn how to work on cars
stoic ledge
Last time you said $200
indigo coral
We only paid the tabs and taxes and stuff
odd talon
its not too hard, and it will keep your cars alive
odd talon
i've sent my cars to the dealer before, and they have wrecked them
(transmission and engine)
stoic ledge
how
indigo coral
yeah its not going to the dealer. My dad is incredibly good with cars and he's teaching me how to fix stuff.
odd talon
ok, so we had an engine replacement
indigo coral
going back to the oil sludge issue, what can I do to mitigate that to prevent it from becoming a probme?
odd talon
and we bought a fresh longblock from the manufacturer
the installer put in the engine and trans at an angle
so 3rd year would grind
killed trans.
indigo coral
Yikes
stoic ledge
N I C E
odd talon
additionally, they killed engine headgasket too
stoic ledge
Normally there is sone kind of warranty on their labour, isn't there ?
odd talon
and AC
stoic ledge
Wot
odd talon
yes, they refused to cover it
odd talon
instead billed us $12000
we refused to pay
took the car broken, and i'm swapping a new trans in myself
stoic ledge
Ofcourse you refused, wtf
odd talon
no i'm 100% serious, i hate these guys
stoic ledge
Yeah no I get you 100%
odd talon
so now i'm going to do the work myself
have taken apart cars before
will try to get it working
have to get a lift installed at the house
not sure it will work clearance wise
might have to pay someone good to install it just due to clearance issues
garage is less than 3 meters tall and its a tall vehicle
stoic ledge
That's tight
odd talon
oh well. i hope it works out
anyway for the oil sludge, keep using synthetic
change oil at 3000 miles
thats it
indigo coral
alrighty
odd talon
also at this point you should check all bushings and shocks/springs
check brake caliipers too
indigo coral
shocks were recently replaced
indigo coral
brakes are pretty good, slightly warped rotors but nothing that is a problem
odd talon
warped = bad
indigo coral
Just got the wheels balanced as it was shaking to high heaven at 65+
odd talon
take care of the rotors
stoic ledge
Brakes and tyres are the last things i'd safe money on
indigo coral
Starting at 60-65, the faster I went the more the steering wheel shook. Front right wheel was suuuper out of balance from the guy we bought it from. Took it to les schwag, they balanced it for free, and it took care of the shaking. At 70+ the steering wheel moved like an inch and a half in each direction
The brakes work fine, just a teensy bit of vibration in the pedal.
indigo coral
it's all gone now, after the balancing
odd talon
really?
indigo coral
yeah
odd talon
hmm
indigo coral
the weight they put on it is like a foot long
stoic ledge
Probably some weights fell off
indigo coral
I assume he hit a curb, he was an older dude
so yeah weights probably fell off
It feels a lot better at high speeds now, without the shaking
stoic ledge
Could be, but bent rims can't be fixed with weights
odd talon
weird that it was that severe
indigo coral
yeah
stoic ledge
Happens more than you think
indigo coral
ooof yikes
odd talon
and left the door open while i was away
stoic ledge
^^
odd talon
it wasn't my fault, nothing i could do
but still sucks
vinegar and water is my first step
next lysol
then i'm removing the entire interior
its not that severe
but i need to make sure
odd talon
i live in an apt, so people are gonna see some shit
stoic ledge
Lolz xD
indigo coral
Is there any way that you guys know of to hack an AUX onto a RX300 with Nakamichi audio?
odd talon
easy
indigo coral
I found guides for the Pioneer base system but this one doesn't have any. at all.
stoic ledge
Does it have cd changer by any chance?
indigo coral
yes, 6 disc
stoic ledge
^
indigo coral
That's how it should work for the Pioneer system but with the nakamichi one theres an amp thing that screws stuff up
I found a guide saying pretty much that online but all the wires and stuff are different on the Nakamichi
odd talon
no
it shouldn't matter
if you want something plug and play, just look into an integration thing from DICE or something
then get a bluetooth audio 3.5mm kit
tuck it behind the dash
unless it has a mic, then put it over the steering column
indigo coral
this is how it should look in order to do that method, and thats how it is on the pioneer system
mine only has 4 wires
odd talon
Honestly, i would just use them
its way less time/effort
unless you can find a guide
but my guess is that they are taking the L/R signal from somewhere
if you REALLY want to DIY this
look at the pinout of the amp
you should get all the data from there
stoic ledge
Or... Use one of those crappy fm transmitters xD
indigo coral
Reading their website, it doesn't support the first gen RX.
odd talon
@indigo coral no
it will
Read this
the nak system is supported
All the Nak is, is an amplifier/DSP
its still fed an analog signal somewhere at some point
do some reading on this, but this isn't impossible!

Oh sweet we have a cars chat.
Hello feelow auto enthusiasts.
I own a Civic si, what do you own?

@vital glen whatever you wanna share
vital glen
@broken island working cars: none of them
I have a 1995 Hummer H1 Softtop from a mechanics lean
2009 Wrangler Rubicon father/son 392hemi swap
1985 Monte Carlo SS swapped with a 350+144longnose
Any mods to your SI? @broken island

A hemi swapped wrangler Rubicon?? That sounds sick.
It's all stock rn, just got it not too long ago. I plan to upgrade the breaks and tires. Possibly suspension, exhaust & intake. Not sure on the last three.
@vital glen

@broken island I got this
spinny rimz, cherry bomb, squeaky breaks, run slicks, add a carboard wing, all the stickers, and a 15 dollar ebay tune

My friend has a Dodge Durango (I think about 2003) that he's turning into an autocross vehicle
It's got a 5.7 and AWD so it should be fast right? Lol
broken island

shadow osprey
Better have some spare money, cause the fab work to get that low enough to eliminate body roll won't be cheap. It'll look dope though

That's also not a question
broken island
it depends

a used chevrolet cruze 2014
fathom socket
no incident report, 75 total miles
shadow osprey
Just for the record, you still didn't ask a question lmao
fathom socket
but you get my statemen
shadow osprey
I had a friend with a cruze
He liked it
I'm not a chevy guy so I can't tell you anything specific, but they're a decent selling car, so they can't be that bad
It's 4 years old, it'll be fine
fathom socket
it's a budget car that I can only afford
shadow osprey
I wouldn't call any 2014 car a budget car
especially with 75 miles
But that's subjective
fathom socket
9,000 dollars
shadow osprey
See above
fathom socket
christ man
shadow osprey
You can get a lot of car for 9 grand
fathom socket
well no
I did like it
the price was like 12k
and it is too much for my parent to accept
so my second option is the chevy cruze
shadow osprey
I mean you can get a cheaper focus
fathom socket
that is the only low price i can find around my area
shadow osprey
¯_(ツ)_/¯
vital glen
Include gas in to final pricing @fathom socket
broken island
why not a civic S i ;D
vital glen
A Civic type rice is my favorite Civic
broken island
lol
shadow osprey
You can get a focus st for 9 grand
shadow osprey
ok maybe not 9 grand. maybe 10-11
broken island
ah. I l o v e hondas lol

@broken island Do you watch SavageGoose?
broken island
@odd talon yeee (as in yes)
vital glen
I OWN THE TRI-STATE AREA @broken island
odd talon
he drives a 1998 Honda Civic
He can obviously afford better, but the civic is what he chose
very interesting
but those 90s civics were pretty special
light weight, great gearbox
broken island
totally
8th gens (what I own) are pretty good too. got the same characteristics as the 90's ones.
maybe not as good, but still fun.
vital glen
@broken island yeah no, nobody is that blind, the blind man can see through that statement
shadow osprey
wut
vital glen
The new civics are chunky compared to the 90s civic
it got the junk in the trunk of you know what I am saying
broken island
i mean, my si is no type r, but the engine revs to 8k, has a great shifter, weights 2,800lbs, and the vtec is legit
vital glen
It revs to 8k? @broken island
broken island
i didnt say its better than the 6th lol, 6th all the way man
odd talon
i know
broken island
yeah @vital glen . Redline is at 8 thousand rpm. Rev limiter usually kicks in at 8500 or 8300
odd talon
its hard to explain if you've never driven it
shadow osprey
"and the vtec is legit" oh really 🤔
broken island
it is hard to explain
odd talon
the earlier civics were basically 993s for the poor
broken island
mmmhm
shadow osprey
My Cobra had IMRCs that opened the other 2 valves on each cylinder at 3250 RPM. That's basically vtec for a V8 right?
broken island
Anything with variable valve timming can have vtec
What makes vtec great is the cam sizes in the engine.
To answer your question, yes, your old V8 had vtec in a way

Anyone a fan of Toyota's new Supra? Mk.4 is the best compared to the new one.
serene jetty
New one looks yikes imo
patent basalt
Thoughts ok Kia stinger?? Considering trading my ST in on one
shadow osprey
It seems like it is because it is
@patent basalt coworker has one, I would take an ST over it just for the stick
Besides that, they’re pretty close
patent basalt
I’m leaning more to stinger I just got my girlfriend a new sorento not a bad little suv and rest drove a stinger really liked it I haven’t been driving the st much anymore and I went down to it from an rs wanna go awd again
stoic ledge
Really like the looks of the Stinger personally
fathom socket
I was looking at the stinger myself before I decided for the charger. Both are great
I was heading to work on one freeway going down the lane that merged to another that crossed underneath it. I was going the speed limit on the westbound lane coming up to the point where eastbound lane was at a standstill. Fucking Honda pulled into my lane I'd say no more than 30 feet in front of me barely doing ten miles an hour. I think I could have put a yard stick between our sidewalls from how close I got to hitting him. Luckily I was able to swerver into the gravel to the right of me out of the way. Fucker didnt even notice and kept driving forward. A Hyundai passed by and I got back on only to see the Honda turn back into the backed up east bound lane and then back onto the main highway before going up the off ramp.
shadow osprey
Those are two completely different vehicles 😂
shadow osprey
Alright well maybe not so much
patent basalt
Ehh the head gasket recalls came and the car went I didn’t wanna deal with the issues
shadow osprey
Fair enough
patent basalt
I’ll see how’s the girlfriends new Kia turns out first if it’s good I’ll grab one if not I’ll go for a used Audi rs3 or something
shadow osprey
RS7 or riot

@shadow osprey little man got audi money
patent basalt
Idk too many choices
shadow osprey
Just don’t get a 2.0T
fathom socket
What's wrong with the 2.0T
broken island
to everyone saying the new mk5 supra is just a rebadged z4, watch this ( @night current )
https://youtu.be/_jbyzmtgU_0
Also, @near plank I'm pumped for the new supra. Glad toyota is making sport cars again
night current
I mean... Imo, the new Supra contains nearly nothing of the original...
That's why I don't like it...
At least the Gt 86 has always been similar in ways...
broken island
I don't mind that its not 100% toyota. I feel with the situation they're in, this is a good way to test the waters
broken island
they're not gonna invest millions in an engine if no one is gonna buy the car
lol your good bro
patent basalt
I’m pro new Supra 100% I like it I wanna see the price tag
broken island
Most of the people who want a new supra probably dont have the money to buy one. So, who's gonna buy them?
that's what theyre gonna see
@patent basalt its gonna be like $50,000 US
night current
I mean, you are right about them testing the waters I suppose.
patent basalt
I was expecting 100k
night current
Lmao
broken island
the mk4 was about $40,000 US at the time it was out
patent basalt
I’ll write it off at a business car and put my company logos on it lmao that’ll work
broken island
lol. What's the company?
patent basalt
May not fit in with the rest of the fleet 😂 excavation company lol
Snow removal and all, I’ll throw a plow on it
broken island
lol
patent basalt
I’ll wait to see one in person
broken island
same
i dont have the money for one, but im soooo curious what it'll look like face to face
patent basalt
The only Toyota dealer near me only keeps a few trucks and a bunch of Garbage cars
Doubt I’d be able to see one if just jabe to buy and hope it looks good
broken island
mine has some sport cars, like the 86 and trd tim Tacoma's
night current
I feel like garbage is a bit of an overstatement. xD
broken island
i think it looks o k. not too much of a fan of the ducktale
patent basalt
Lol there’s one small Toyota car I don’t mind forgot the name
broken island
I really like the new Corolla hatchback, you can get it with a six-speed manual.
Love that they did that
night current
Yeah, that's pretty cool.
patent basalt
The new Camry I think looks sweet af for a Camry
night current
Indeed. It's very modern looking imo.
patent basalt
Itll be time to replace one of my trucks soon it’s starting to rust I have had it since new in 08
broken island
over ten years, that a long time
night current
That's awesome that they are getting back into rally.
patent basalt
It’s been good but 110k miles is the biggest I’ve owned lol
I have a newer one I drive daily now so it’ll be nice to replace it and keep the miles low on it
shadow osprey
I head 60-75k for the mk5
@patent basalt I see that SN95 👀 I had a cobra as my first car
Looks like it’s missing a motor though
patent basalt
Yeah it was it blew up lol
Was a 351w swap car but I killed it
eBay turbo was a no go
patent basalt
I wanna our that eBay turbo in something else lol
shadow osprey
Side note - what trailer is that
patent basalt
Load trail 22’
shadow osprey
Assuming you bought it new?
patent basalt
That one I got used it was a year old when I got it in 2012 I believe
shadow osprey
How’s the wood held up? I’ve been a little hesitant to buy a wood deck trailer since I live on the east coast, but I’m also hesitant to buy a steel deck for the same reason
patent basalt
It’s been pretty good I put a pretty heavy cat skid steer on it and I’m not nice to it, it’s held up pretty well I’ve done wood three times since I got it
shadow osprey
True
I’ve been leaning towards wood. Cheaper and I’ll probably buy a bigger trailer in a couple years anyways
I’m just looking for a small car hauler, like 16-18 ft
Hard to find any around me used though
patent basalt
I’m moving to all gooseneck soon my 2500 has it all the work trucks have it and I just got one in my f150 there’s a huge trailer dealer near me
patent basalt
Lol I may soon gonna wait for spring gonna replace wood before I sell it as well
shadow osprey
Nah that makes it more expensive, don't do that
patent basalt
I don’t wanna sell it with the wood that’s on it I don’t want anyone buying it and the wood breaking and then coming back after me or anything I have some laying around to do it
shadow osprey
I found a decent one that supposedly is a 12000lb gross trailer with a 12k lbs winch. I'd like to do that at some point also but... $2500 is too much for me 😂
patent basalt
I’m not even sure what mine is lol I probably overload jt a lot 😂
shadow osprey
If it ain't broke yet then who cares
patent basalt
My challengers so heavy that’s probably over 😂😂
shadow osprey
It's probably out of my price range anyways if you put a skid steer on it
lol true
patent basalt
I think an employee wants it when I sell he is always borrowing it and has asked me to sell it to him a few times
patent basalt
Your probably a ways away from me as wel
shadow osprey
Not east coast?
patent basalt
Middle of the us lol
shadow osprey
Well
Oh well
Holy shit I might as well buy one of those super cheap new trailers that is listed 200 times on craigslist. There's literally nothing

hmm trueno
if you want a trueno but it's too expensive there is the nissan silvia s12
looks identical
and probably cheaper
night current
Wow, it really does look similar... lol
4age is too good though...
Also, I think an S12 is more rare in the US than an 86... 
I cannot find one for sale.
carmine summit
I saw one in I think Tennessee last year on my way to Florida
warm sparrow
oh yes sorry
i think it's more common here than a 86
maybe because the 86 has a different name...
(that i don't remember)
hey look what i found https://vancouver.craigslist.org/pml/cto/d/delta-1985-toyota-corolla-gts-ae86-for/6809264070.html
pretty cheap for an AE86
oh and silvia s12 are also rare here
it wasn't sold here
fathom socket
Do game cars counts here

My car 😄 2013 GTI
shadow osprey
@warm sparrow @fathom socket S12s weren't sold in the US. Imports started with the S13 and ended with the S14. Short run for America. I think it's due to emissions requirements. There are tons of JDM cars that have that same boxy look though
stoic ledge
@shadow osprey according to Wikipedia (best source, I know) the S12 was sold as a 200SX ?
stoic ledge
89 is the S13
The S12 Silvia brand in North America was badged as a "200SX".
That's what Wikipedia says
stoic ledge
I've got no clue, only reading what Wikipedia says xD
Can't find a S12 in entire Europe for sale
Nope i'm wrong: there are 2 for sale

@unreal pivot importing a crown vic? to where?

Is dis some more dutch plates? 👀
shadow osprey
Blurred because we'll steal your identity
stoic ledge
You can track license plates over here and lots of details about it (i don't know if it's the same in the US)
But that's often the reason to blur it
shadow osprey
Honestly I don't know
But if you want to break into my house, go right ahead
You'll find out what's on the other side real quick

Actually what you find isn't that impressive
And normally I don't care
But some reason I've blurred them here too

Its stupid people can find out your deepest and darkest secret from 6 simple letter or numbers....
stoic ledge
deepest and darkest secret
Some specs of the car, first date registered, last date and time registered too you, next MOT date, the last MOT failures... xD
fair bronze
In the Netherlands it's only the specs of the car, when the MOT is due and how many owners it's had basically
zenith path
@tropic silo thank you!! I love yours too! 😍
tropic silo
Well thank you!!!
stoic ledge
@tropic silo 1.4 ? Or the 3L 😄
tropic silo
stoic ledge
"3L" because it should use 3L/100km
stoic ledge
Only good way to calculate is number of km's devided by the amount of fuel used 😉
stoic ledge
Should be 42 liters (:
tropic silo
That's an oddly specific number 
stoic ledge
I looked it up 😉
stoic ledge
Oof 10l/100km
tropic silo
Its a lightweight car tho
stoic ledge
Yeah i know
tropic silo
Has a spaceframe
tropic silo
Yea. Sadly. Can't use a DAB+ radio. Since it needs steel body parts
carmine summit
I really have to convince my dad to get a Kerma tune on his car, it may actually be pretty good for autocross then
It already handles surprisingly well, so actually having some power would make it quick

Lets turbocharge it :)

If I had $2500 I could get a 165whp kit for it from Kerma
I don't have $2500 though lol
carmine summit

stoic ledge
Yeah I found them
carmine summit
Maybe I should just clean the intake and then tune it myself with a VAGcom
turn up the boost a few PSI and the fuel maybe 5%
adjust the curves a little bit too
stoic ledge
Hehe that's how a friend and i boosted a Corsa diesel, we went from 67hp to 110hp (really old 1.5 diesel)
+65% isn't bad xD

2019 Golf R is out, and it has 10 less HP than before...
And if someone can clarify for me what "2.0 TSI PF" means, it would be highly appreciated

And they had to put it in the name to

@unreal pivot well hope you have fun with it!

I don't think that's gonna happen tbh

@unreal pivot that's neat! If you ever are in need of extra bits you have a stateside pal,
fathom socket
And as a note, be weary of the stock intake manifold, they tend to crack and leak coolant from the thermostat housing
Also heat shield the ecu
unreal pivot
ok i will buy a spear now then i suppose XD
fathom socket
Make sure it's the updated one
I'd also heat shield the ECU if it's the model that it's in the engine bay
unreal pivot
it is a P71 so i would imagine but it is being rebuilt now so ill add that to the list
fathom socket
Ah okay, that's good to know!
Usually stock they have plenty of get up and go in my exp
unreal pivot
and as for the ecu im gonna swap that out anyway so i can adjust it to be more fuel efficient as they only get 19mpg stock with the police interceptor model and i will also be doing performance pats to help like fuel injectors
might do a stage 1 waight reduction as well
fathom socket
Eh, if you have a light foot you could probably do 25 in it
unreal pivot
ah good to know
fathom socket
I can do 22 in my 67 galaxie with a 2bbl carb
unreal pivot
i only have a heavy foot if im raging
fathom socket
It's just mindfulness and using hypermiler techniques
unreal pivot
ohh that is really efficient im looking into getting one my self

Really though the best way to get the best mpg is just that and keeping it well maintained
Getting one of?

Rough estimate, what percent of the vehicles you’ve reviewed have tow hitches
