So I need advice guys, I want a good looking car in which I can travel to state to state if necessary
I would like to keep it as stock as possible, meaning I would like to avoid tuner cheap cars >.>

I wouldn't even mind this with the automatic 6 speed

6T30 is quite a nice transmission
6T30 is real automatic transmission (6 speed), F17MTA (Easytronic) is a manual single clutch transmission controlled by a computer (F17 = 5 speed)

Well that mustang was damn clean
He was already at bottom dollar though so I'm hoping the one I'm looking at on wednesday will have a little flex. If he does I'll be going with that one.
That said though, this first one is a 2008 and those are supposed to have less problems than earlier years (the second one is a 2005).
indigo coral
I'm not a big fan of the rear end design on that generation, to each their own I suppose though.
shadow osprey
Me neither
But i like the rest of it enough
it's more the platform that I want
Enough HP and a good enough engine to use as a competitive drift car, but cheap enough to not have to save up for a year before buying
and has a good aftermarket
Function over fashion
bumpers and taillights and spoilers can be changed
Also, fake hood scoop :ew:
indigo coral
True
In my eyes it was just lazy design by Ford, it was improved with the next gen and further refined with the current gen.
The tail lights, that is.

@swift kite Personally, I want to import a Daihatsu.
swift kite
I owned a Charade for about a year
it was a former mail delivery car for a small town around here
I imported a new motor from it from Japan as well....took about 8 weeks to get here
fathom socket
I'd want to import this.
swift kite
the car is still around and running, but it's turning into kind of a rustbucket now
see I dig that
fathom socket
There is a DanganZZ stateside for 10k.
swift kite
wow
fathom socket
Weird little 4-cylinder that's under 660cc.
swift kite
someone went to a lot of trouble to import that
fathom socket
It's got some torque to it as well.
swift kite
I still think the Charade was a weird little car....only reason we even had one around here was right hand drive
was easier to drive to deliver mail
and it wasn't owned by the gov't either...it was a personal car someone used and they received reimbursement from the state to drive it
fathom socket
One of the more popular Kei cars to import to the US is the Cappuccino.
swift kite
they were getting around 60mpg delivering mail to the town
fathom socket
Probably because it's FR.
fathom socket
I like Kei vans.

I really wanted an STi for a long time

That sounds terrifying TBH.
swift kite
I've only been in a GN one time
and that one time was enough for me
it dyno'd at least 1040 HP
swift kite
okay, I really do need to finish my shows

Alright.

@indigo coral Yeah it was supposed to be retro styled but it was kinda half assed retro. I agree the 2010+ looks better, and they make over 100 more hp lol but they're still a good bit more expensive, that's the only reason I'm not picking one of those

@fathom socket depends. Exhaust would be the obvious if you like the sound but want it louder, some huge wheels if you’re into that, lowering springs if you like that shit slammed, all of the above if you’re a high roller

Makes sense. Looks or heat dissipation
stoic ledge
^^ yes that
fathom socket
Hmm. Well I'm getting into Arizona summer heat which is above 100F or above 37c so maybe composite works better. Anyone with knowledge of why it says cant be used in California? Does it mean that if I visit California with it on it's technically illegal to have? Or can I not live there and use it
stoic ledge
Just a guess but probably illegal
fathom socket
California road laws are nuts.
fathom socket
Oof
indigo coral
thats ridiculous
fathom socket
Apparently they also have a law now that no car can be louder than 90 decibels
indigo coral
yeah
big FAT ticket and you have to go prove that you took it off
(and pay an additional fee for them to check it)
fathom socket
Problem is that some stock cars and stock exhausts exceed that
And its subjective too
indigo coral
they also put the decibel meter (if i recall correctly) only 12 inches from exhaust pipe
not the normal distance
fathom socket
Yup
stoic ledge
Exhaust noise restriction is kinda the same here
indigo coral
they're not as anal about it over there, i have to imagine
fathom socket
So if I were to use one and take a trip to say San Diego and drive normally but for some reason they pull me over, do they have any reason to check for the cai under the hood by sound? Dont think a v6 with a cai can do much
stoic ledge
Actually a aftermarket exhaust can be illegal because 9/10 make more noise then the stock exhaust. And actually you cannot make more noise then is in the cars registration
But there are some exceptions... It's wierd
indigo coral
wait
fathom socket
So how do modified cars get registered?
indigo coral
the decibel rating is on your registration?
indigo coral

indigo coral
I've been to cali lots of times, Cops even got pissy about my dad's Taurus exhaust
the stock one, it burbles a tiny bit but it's not loud in even the slightest
stoic ledge
indigo coral
Huh, our registration here is not very information laden
fathom socket
Thats... harsh
indigo coral
that's asinine
fathom socket
So stepping on the gas slightly then?
stoic ledge
Yeah no the don't really pull people over often, only when it is really loud
indigo coral
I can respect putting rules on the stupidly loud fart cans etc
fathom socket
I've never been pulled over in cali and the one time we wanted help no one stopped the three hours we were on the side waiting for tow to find us
indigo coral
but if it's a normal exhaust,even if its a bit loud, it should be legal
whatever
Here its TECHNICALLY illlegal to have a spoiler, to replace headlights, to have larger than stock wheels, etc
but its NEVER enforced
stoic ledge
Max value is 95 dB(A) @ 3500rpm
fathom socket
I mean if it is something that can exceed 100 Db it makes sense in the Netherlands (showing my geographical ignorance here) because of possible tunnels and such. Dont want to burst eardrums and such
I should just say Europe because of tunnels. Idk
stoic ledge
Not really that many tunnels, but yes the are here
This is the distance microphone <-> exhaust, if over 95 dB -> ticket
Well actually even worse, you get a "WOK"
"Wachten of keuring" -> waiting for approval
stoic ledge
So you have to get it fixed, and then get the car checked
Dutch police officers apparently
indigo coral
stupid laws
fathom socket
That's the same way they test in California
stoic ledge
California = The Netherlands confirmed
fathom socket
Oof

I think I'll get the composite tubing. Looks are nice but function over form
stoic ledge
Especially in a hot climate a good idea (:
fathom socket
Man I cant choose. Someone said the aluminum one makes more sound but my question is how?
fathom socket
aluminum might be stronger and retain its shape better?
shadow osprey
@indigo coral any mod is technically illegal in the states also
Under the extreme strict interpretation of vehicle laws
But only stuff like tint and extreme exhaust is enforced
And even then not always
Depends on the state
indigo coral
he was going 100 in a 40 though, the spoiler wasnt the main cause
shadow osprey
Ah
indigo coral
he started arguing with the cop, so the cop was like well fuck you then
and gave him a fat stack of tickets
shadow osprey
Yeah that’s like passengers not wearing seatbelts
It’s a secondary offense
Ah yeah that’ll do it
indigo coral
ye if you get pulled over be respectful, don't argue w/ cops
if you wanna argue take it to court
indigo coral
OOF

@stoic ledge I just rekted leif

True
Internal combustion is cheaper and wide spread ofc at this point, infastructure, support, general design. Just not sustsinable
midnight peak
electric cars will be talked about more by enthusiasts once they are good.
hollow rose
Yep we are not there yet
Too expensive for most
Charging isn't really figured out/short enough
They're pretty quick compared to internal combustion. No top speed performance but really you're not doing high speed runs in commuter car
General hate for them that isn't really biased or explained sucks too,
I was mostly listening to the episode today and could easily tell they weren't really privy to the information or didn't do that much research.
stoic ledge
Battery EV's won't be the future. I'll put my money on EV's + fuel cell (hydrogen)
fathom socket
Self driving is the future
hollow rose
IMO, battery capacity will exceed what a normal person can drive, like 1k miles is generally more than what someone can do in a day. So range and charging while asleep won't be that big of a deal on long trips. Logistic companies can run a truck 24/7 with team drivers, so it doesn't solve that entirely ofc. Hydrogen is also an option once they can figure out the logistics with capturing, storing, so on.
Batteries are kind of my main deal, so I want batteries to succeed so I can still have a job 😅
vital glen
no
batteries will always be a thing
regardless
@hollow rose this is interesting tech
I dont know the feasibility of it is

is it a civic really?
looks like an Integra
probably 1998
if we could see the front lights it would be easier to tell

ooo it may be an integra....i was it on the internet and caption said ""coolest civ in te world" so i just took it for granted

i'm not sure but closest civic would be this i think https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0d/1f/16/0d1f1628cb14715189b8a81ae4250293.jpg
so it doesn't really looks the same

Only took one picture of the event though:

@pliant island that’s an integra
You can just barely make out the double separated headlights

Dodge charger
F8 green
Sounds nice. A bit deeper resonance from first start up. Probably wont tune it right away as I dont want to void warranty as I have little extra cash incase of an issue. Dont forsee one but want to be careful
fathom socket
It's the base model. Most go for the v8 I assume so I understand the confusion
shadow osprey
I don’t know much about Chrysler though so I can’t tell you by the engine bay. I’ll call it a close enough 😂
fathom socket
lol. the hose to the right their between the engine cover and the resevoir gave me a b of a time to put on, but its on enough for now. have to finish up some work on the pc in the next 30 minutes so had to start. any suggestions on getting that hose on better?
shadow osprey
push harder then put on a hose clamp and call it good enough
No idea what the hose does so I can't tell you what's good enough lol
indigo coral
Is hand-tight tight enough for an oil filter?
shadow osprey
You should never do anything more
But crank on it good, and make sure you don't double-gasket it
fathom socket
well if I had a hose clamp i'd put one on, but the stock nor the aftermarket air intake system has one. May go down to autozone and get one. It doesn't transfer anything but air so im sure its okay? dont want to take chances though
shadow osprey
I have no idea what that tube goes to, you tell me
If it goes back to the intake then it's probably a crankcase vent
Could also be EGR or vacuum, but EGR is usually bigger and vacuum is usually smaller
fathom socket
Yeah it's the crankcase tube
Not sure what it does. Something to look up
Is it important to be super tight then?
shadow osprey
It vents air from the crankcase back to the intake lol
crankcase being the area around the crankshaft
fathom socket
Interesting. What's the purpose of that?
shadow osprey
Pressure builds up over time in the crankcase, depending on how good your piston ring seal is, and it needs to go somewhere, so it's routed back to the intake so it just burns the oil vapors in the engine
On some engines it's vented to the atmosphere
The worse your ring seal is, the more blow by you get, which builds pressure faster from more air getting by the piston and into the crankcase
fathom socket
Ah. Good to know
stoic ledge
@shadow osprey it's not an Integra, it's a Prelude with non-standard headlights (probably to look like an Integra headlight). OR it is just the reflection from the sun
shadow osprey
I suppose you are right
Also how did you get a car for 30 euros
You can part it out for more than that lol
stoic ledge
6 people (= me + 5 friends) * €30 = €180
You can get a scrap car for that 😛 Not road legal anymore, but still good enough to run it through a field and stuff 😛
It was like a 1993 Golf 1.9 TD or TDI

Alright question time. Was testing my car and when I turn off the car I hear air being pushed out somewhere that's pressurized. Thoughts?

Just so that I can get it with a manual.
stoic ledge
As long as you spec it better than the G20 318d i spotted recently: base white + no options (so 16" wheels etcetera)
It just looks really cheap that way
Not that white is bad, but just the combination of small rims, no sporty accents and white make it look cheap
With M package it looks cool 😛

I'll still use 16's on my E46 320i

I have 16" on my Corsa, 17" is optional (:
Seeing a car like such a BMW, 3x the price of mine new still using 16"... it's tiny

My mom's car is 20s and dads is 19s iirc so when theyre all parked on the driveway my wheels look tiny

Well my parents car has 16" to mine look big 😉
I do like the look of the 17" rims on my car, but is just makes it uncomfortable driving on bad roads (which I do often)

I would have never bought my car without steelies.... actually I would have never bought it in a different trim 😛

indigo coral
I can get a new alloy for like 40$
indigo coral
Newer cars replacement wheels are expensive
Well yeah but the nitwits at Lexus price everything really high
When my trans was having issues I emailed them just for the hell of it, (I'd never actually get it fixed at the dealer) and they quoted me 6700$ for a new trans

M32 gearbox in bigger Opel's have a design flaw, new gearbox is like €4000
But when you have a 2003 Vectra with that gearbox, worth €2k....
indigo coral
My trans IS a design flaw 😂
indigo coral
It's crossed my mind to look into tuning for the transmission - not to make it faster or whatever but to see if it's possible to make the gear changes firmer. (electronically controlled transmission) and reduce the slipping between gears that Lexus programmed in for "comfort"
I wonder if thats even a thing
stoic ledge
Everything can be cracked, but not sure how it's done in a Lexus
indigo coral
Like there's a PWR switch inside to change between gear profiles
PWR let's it rev out more
Instead of shifting at 2800 every damn time (power really starts at 3k)
I know you can install a physical shift kit but I wonder if it's possible to do thru software
stoic ledge
There probably is but you'll probably need some specialist hardware to modify the software
Again not sure how that stuff works on a Lexus
indigo coral
Which would cost more than upgrading the weak trans parts during a rebuild 😂
And adding a shift kit
stoic ledge
Wasn't me (:

Whenever the reception is bad on the DAB+ channel it stops and buffers almost, but it doesnt go to FM as a failsave or something.
If youre on FM and the radio station has a DAB+ channel, it auto switches to it (atleast thats what my headunit does)

Previous owner stated it dynod at 347hp lol
shadow osprey
Uh...
tiny shuttle
bbk o/r X pipe, BBK longtubes, Borla Ataks, JLT CAI, BBK throttle body space spacer, MPT performance 87 tune, 1 piece aluminum driveshaft, and a few other goodies here and there
Only reason I own it instead of something else to daily is cause it had a bunch of mods prior to me buying it
Although it's nice for my daily to be able to play with anything up to 2010 GTs
shadow osprey
ahh long trubes and no cats, those free up way more than I imagined with a tune
I test drove a stock 08 GT also and it was about what I remembered my 97 cobra to be, it's about the same power numbers, and this one was noticeably faster
indigo coral
is that a prius C truck
indigo coral
most trucks here drive miserably slow
tropic silo
They drive 90km/h - 55mph here.
Cars drive 130km/h - 80mph here.
I drove 330km on half a tank, while normally i get 400km with a full tank 😄
indigo coral
nice
I was amazed today that I got 19mpg on my last fillup
O.O
Generally closer to 17
tropic silo
maybe
Ihave no clue if i did the math right... or if the conversion went alright, but according to internet. I got 55miles per gallon @indigo coral
stoic ledge
But ultra lightweight subcompact with 75hp FWD vs 2000kg 3.0 V6 4x4 auto
(:
Also x doubt
23,38km/l (or 4.28l/100km) seems unlikely
tropic silo
330km on approx 15liters
stoic ledge
stoic ledge
if(!calculatedOnFillup) { return INACCURATE ; } ```
stoic ledge
Because of the word approx
No hard numbers
17L is also approx 15L
But the outcome is entirely different
tropic silo
Well the needle is slightly over the half
I think 30L goes into the tank
So there you have it
16L used for 330km 🙂
shadow osprey
That does not look good
we can argue separately whether or not it looks bad, but that is not good
tropic silo
Well i don't have a "peilstok" in my fuel tank 😄
stoic ledge
It has a 42 L fuel tank
tropic silo
🤔
stoic ledge
You mean a dip stick
stoic ledge
stoic ledge
So using your math, 42/2 = 21l, 330km@21l = 1:15.71 = 37MPG US
But fuel gauges are not precise, the first half of the tank it goes down slower
stoic ledge
using UK MPG
stoic ledge
Yes
stoic ledge
tropic silo
What's different about their miles and/or gallons?!
tropic silo
stoic ledge
Also, MK. My parents car doesn't have a luxury license plate. I feel special now :slight_smile:
Yes
stoic ledge
You win
stoic ledge
Yeah A4 will win
stoic ledge
1st A4, 2nd A2, 3rd C1
stoic ledge
stoic ledge
Maybe if it had a special LPG tune
Otherwise... no way
Maybe it can beat the C1/Aygo/107 box
stoic ledge
If you give me 500€, sure (:
stoic ledge
stoic ledge
Yes 😛
shadow osprey
I'll race your audi
sour willow
96 BHP not to diss or anything but my first car was a 300HP 4.6L V8
shadow osprey

I got a crappy blazer now lmao
Had a jeep Grand Cherokee
Got totaled about a week after I paid it off
tropic silo
You see, @sour willow.
I live in a country where stuff is different
For example, no massive displacements,
Because ECONOMISTS
mint talon
shadow osprey
Only cause it's an M3. If it were a 328i then it'd be cheap like the rest of them lol
a 4.6L V8 is pretty small as far as V8s go
tropic silo
Its big compared to what we have
stoic ledge
cries in 1.2
tropic silo
Cries in 1.4
shadow osprey
That's only cause you guys don't have V8s
It's not about the size, it's about the complete lack of them lol
stoic ledge
Only they are really rare 😛
tropic silo
Because they consume more gas. And gas is expensive here
shadow osprey
I know
shadow osprey
the first part of that is debatable but ok lol
shadow osprey
Whatever helps you sleep at night
shadow osprey
what about them
stoic ledge
Dude, Colin
Srsly
Hydrogen is
Also: Mazda rotary engines that could run on hydrogen are
shadow osprey
Mazda rotary engines that could run are 👌
tropic silo
Bruuuh,I'm switching between Dutch ans English 
shadow osprey
no comprendo
stoic ledge
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_RX-8_Hydrogen_RE
This is cool tho 😛 Same as the Mazda 5 on hydrogen, a mini-van using a rotary engine 🙃
tropic silo
capacity of 110 liters at 350 bar stores up to 2.4 kilograms of hydrogen
Yikes
Imagine a hole getting in that tank
stoic ledge
Really unlikely
stoic ledge
Gas fumes will make a bigger bang tho
shadow osprey
hydrogen burns clear
tropic silo
But 350 bars is alot
sour willow
@tropic silo if you want big power look into a Honda Vitara build.
Fairly cheap for what it is
For about 2/3 grand you can have a 300 HP 1.6
tropic silo
My Audi A2 is fast enough
Gets me from A to B
Has really decent space.
Is nice and small
Also, i didn't pay for my A2, i got it from my parents. The insurance is also on my moms name so it's way cheaper and same goes for road taxes.
Only 100€ per month for insurance and roadtaxes
stoic ledge
But you're not insured
tropic silo
I am
tiny shuttle
Clean fox 😍
wheat hatch
Somehow I have a gut feeling that the mustang is probably fast as fack 
Correct me if I'm wrong though 
tiny shuttle
Well foxbodies are super light compared to most other pony cars and have a lot Of engine bay room

indigo coral

fathom socket

warm sparrow
current peugeot s are great
I mean I can understand that you don't like there "little" cars like the 208, 308 because it's very different from what there is in america
