That'd be like me dailying the RX-7 instead of my 50mpg beast
makes zero sense whatsoever
Keep in mind, the peugeot mileage wise slaps a 30 at best
If you think FWD is a problem, you have a really weak mindset, ngl
but if he wants to have more fun in his car, and if his peugeot has frame problems
now frame issues, makes a bit more sense
in which case, why not sell the peugeot and replace it
with like a Corolla or a Yaris (or anything similar to those)
At the end of the day tho, opinions can be given but its your decision, you want all those cars at once
I would personally keep the MX-5 as a project car. I see zero sense in dailying it if you're going to keep the Peugeot. I'd just ditch the Peugeot if you want to daily an MX-5, or just replace the Peugeot outright with a better daily
thats your choice
I bought it for 1200 at the time, its worth little to nothing now, needs a new headgasket, thermostat housing could do with a replace to the new metal one, engine head needs machining, frame is slightly bent, rusting sills which I've been trying to slow down for some time.4
The pug^
Yea, I'd just scrap it and get a better daily
then if you have money for an MX-5 project car, go for it
Work is a 3 mile drive away and I'm not doing anything crazy trip wise
Get a Yaris, and do a Corolla swap.
UK here, corollas arent a thing are they?
if work is 3 miles, why even bother dailying anything other than Peugeot
In the uk I mean
You should have something like the Corolla
They are a thing in Sweden.
There was defo a Corolla in the UK, but not called "Corolla"
yeah thats the SUV in NA
UK corolla
They are totally called "Corolla"
I'm a freedom man, so I wouldn't know
but yea, get something similar to a Corolla (like a Civic or whatever euro shit there is)
that's what I would do
Just a thought but how are the old hilux's for reliability? Whenever I see them for sale they're all like 300k miles?
the diesel ones are supposed to be stronk
the gas ones are probably fragile
gas trucks tend to be shit
More of a clio rs fan when it comes to smaller cars
says the guy who wants an MX-5
Clio is a larger car, though.
The MX-5 is tiny, even the NC
For eco-boxes, it is.
We now have a thing that most new cars in low-mid tier == 1.0l engine
Entry level cars are 70/90 hp.
is under 100hp a common thing in the UK
@frank tundra It's common in Europe in general
even a kia forte which is like a 10-20k car has over 200hp here 
Europe has less open space than the US and Canada. A lot more urban areas with tight, narrow streets. You don't need much more than 110hp there
here i am having a daily with almost 700+ horsepower atm
I need to look into buying something like a older civic
The Kia Forte, That's the same as the Kia Ceed, no?
Yeah
I thought there was a sedan too
We don't have Forte hatches
Theirs forte hatches in canada
Whack
Wouldn't mind one of those new stingers
The ceed is a nicer kia rio in canada
The Stinger is mediocre at best imo
Depends on what stinger
GTS
Those are sick
3.3 i think
400hp?
Not sure of the hp tbh
The cheapest Kia's have a 67 hp engine.
I've ridden in the V6 AWD Stinger when it was driven pretty hard. Was very underwhelming imho
And extremely uncomfortable
I had test drove a Stinger GT
The seats were awful
I'd rather have a Genesis G70 over the Stinger.
But we don't have the Gensis over here.
Genesis is a lot more expensive here compared to the stinger
I'm a BMW type of guy myself. 
The G70 is a luxury Stinger
Which bm though? π
Can't really complain about paying 30-35k for a twin turbo 400hp car
that won't kill you insurance wise as well
falconhand has entered the chat
by 1 company
A Stinger would cost me like $194 a month in inaurance
I pay an insane amount for my hellcat alone
thats excluding my srt jeep and my mustang
Insurance on my isuzu was 4.3k the first year :/
i just have my mustang uninsured most of the year and hide it in my garage
so the city dosent give me a ticket for having an uninsured car on my property
yeah i have my renoolt uninsured all the time
so the city dosent give me a ticket for having an uninsured car on my property
@frank tundra that's bullshit
Its a real thing in BC
The Kia Stinger is starting from 528,000 kr over here. So basically $55,000. But that's also with the V6 engine.
Yeh, you gotta apply to SORN a car here if you wont insure a car
guy from the city of vancouver bylaw office drove by
Which is fucking effort man
Wtf
Jeez
That's horrible
I mean, you can dispute it. You pay it, then dispute it.
I wasn't able to dispute that ticket
I've literally gotten ticketed for speeding for less
Here in the US I can have as many uninsured vehicles sitting on my property as I want and the government won't bat an eye (as long as they stay on my property)
Going 20 over here is a 120-140 dollar ticket
Having an uninsured car on your property
300
going 20 mp over for me is like no license
You lose your license going 30 kmh over the limit over here. 
Ohhh metric
Gotcha π
Between 18 and 19.
Jail
that's an impound and suspended license lmao
None if you keep going 140
Police actually lasered the other week. 40 people were stopped for speeding.
I went 240 in a 120 and got a 800 dollar ticket and impounded
28 of which had their license taken.
impound is 2 weeks
Its pretty common here
My impound fee was more then my ticket
cops really dont care how fast your going on that specfic highway at the time i was doing it
You get a daily charge for it?
hmh
Yeah
My SRT Jeep is probably the safest car ive gone 150 mph in 
As safe as 150mph can be
This sounds so weird. Shouldn't be a thing π¦
340 hp in it.
It probably pulls pretty good.
I'm sure the numbers here are series and then engine size
so the 320d I had briefly was a 2ltr 3 series
Before it used to mean actual engine size. But not anymore.
And yeah, first digit is the series. Second and third are the engine.
Not incl. a few models though
Dang. The 340d has 700 Nm for torque.
but it runs
That's over 500 lb ft
that some pull
Wonder what it's tow capacity is.
enough
A big arse caravan
The 320 pulled a mid wheelbase van pretty okay
Which was only 295lb ft
Oh. Seems like you can only get it from factory with a hitch rated for 1,800 kg
Retractable hitch.
TIL - My watch has an alarm set for midnight. First time hearing that.
Meh it's better then scrape metal when I painted it black
Whatever works, right?
I'm debating trying to fix my wheels
Should I buy a nissan skyline
RFB for the win
R33 yeah the boys
buy
cool
Yeah, the Skyline looks pretty nice as a 4 door.
Though, the BMW M3's are also nice lookers.
@civic spoke do u own it
Before winter comes around again, I want two things for my car.
Suspension refresh, and a diff.
I know, that's why I said Stagea
iS tHaT a sUpRa?
Lol
Supposedly this Z32 is supercharged
He bought it for his wife, technically, I think
But his wife is going to be gone on business for a while, and from what I understand she doesn't even know the car exists yet
"Lady driven"
I haven't talked to him yet
But I know when we last discussed the car, his wife had wanted a fun car too since he had a Miata project car
The reasoning behind this ig was that it's already a complete car so he doesn't have to do anything to it for her to have fun with

Good guy, cool wife
What car is that?
@stoic ledge I have no idea
Looks like a Prius
isn't it a miata?
Looks like a Dacia Sandero to me
thoughts on the 911 speedster?
NA is love.
We review the most powerful and expensive Subaru ever, STI S209. Many will question the price tag when other sports cars outperform this car in most categories. The Civic Type R is almost 40% less and a Miata and Mustang are half the price. We skip right to the story and tec...
Artisan Subaru
Apparently STI more or less hand built these to their spec.
Canon C300 makes for a great dashcam.
Old or new ?
old
Two cars are the same company but different generation
that paint looks like it has seen better days
old, the new one has a 0-60 of 7.5s 
Can't fit in the NA, ND never tried
Can't fit in the NA, ND never tried
@stoic ledge tall man?
6'4" / 1m94
Yesterday I was wondering on the bricks on the house and this 18 Wheeler UPS was carrying his bodykits
Working
So he hasn't put them on yet what are you waiting for
Wait
do you have issues with knee-room?
because I have issues with knee-room in econoboxes
He drived it in the garage will he do it now lol
Literally spying on him on my lunch break
My knees can't properly fit around the Miata steeringwheel, and the top up on a Miata is just a no go
I'm a ND RF kind of man. It looks better the more I see it.
ah
Plenty of space in My Corsa tho 
Got seats too
Opel
@stoic ledge not british
Alright gonna stop spying him lol
that's a great start
This is π
It's so interesting tho
RF 
Only I'll go broke on gas
This is π
@civic spoke those rims make me question life
Since it's 7-7.5 USD/gallon
Thonk
That's worse than what I get in my truck.
^ I was just about to say lol
I get like 28 L/100 km. So 8.4 mpg (US)
π€
Oooh he's putting the bumber on now
Opel π€’
||hides||
Corolla HB tho
New Corolla is pretty nice.
It's excellent.
i10
Hyundai i20?

yes
Hyundai is underrated.
We had one when the Meriva was in the shoppe
it's the grand I10
Kek
So it's a i10+, basically.
it's actually an i10 with plastic bits and bobs
and an actual engine
not a 0.8L ketchup bottle
wut
Looks like the older generation i10
An engine is an engine.
40mm longer than the standard i10
i10 comes with a massive 67 hp engine here.
Same here
64kW is the 1.25
Don't ask me why I did 160 in a Nemo.
why did you do 160 in a nemo?
^
quality Interiorβ’οΈ
180mph 
I was driving home from my cousins.
~114mph
i10
I think it had 70 hp?
Make a more informed buying decision at CARFAX by first viewing vehicle history on this 2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06.
That's possible, yes
We get the Fiesta ST. So I don't really envy them.
It's worth half that.
I'm only envious about the reasonably priced cars you guys get.
I love how there's a place called 'Lebanon' in Ohio
Isn't that the manual gear lever?
how do you explain that?
There's a Bagdad Alabama.
It is on second glance... hideous gear level now that I look at it.
don't y'all love naming places after war torn shitholes?
Pretty sure the name predates Bush.
damn
I was born a bit too late before the reso. 678 1990/91 Iraq prosperity era
https://www.carsforsale.com/vehicle/details/54875306 Crippling debt, here I come

60 again
Oof, bidding war 
Been a cab driver for 20 years .. 2 cars was the best ..
Volvo V70 and toyota landcruiser (YES LC as a cab π )

Tried Bentley continental (limo service) Still the volvo was a better ride
Nice
The volvo cab ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrO-ybrrhbI
D5 
Best engine they ever made
Volvo doesn't build 5-cyl anymore 
nice
I see this jag https://carsandbids.com/auctions/9WDaM0MQ/2001-jaguar-xkr
the volvo looks so nice
if it was that cheap here
I would swipe it up in a heartbeat
Dang. The NA Miata sold for $8,600
I see this jag https://carsandbids.com/auctions/9WDaM0MQ/2001-jaguar-xkr
@devout atlas buy it
Dang. The NA Miata sold for $8,600
And the seller gets 1000 from dad (can't spell it with -dy or you get sensored) Doug
I wouldn't buy from his website tbh
What do u think of Mazda mx5/roadster/miata the 1st or 2nd gen
I think it's overhyped myself, but my opinions are wrong because I drive a toyota crossover π€£
The car is decaying
cars and bids is just a stupid way for publicity for his yt channel lol
The engine after 300k km is still running without any major issues
Even on LPG
Aka lighter fluid
LPG 
Super cheap and clean alternative to gasoline
Did you mean: race fluid? It's RON 110-115 rated xD
But it tends to destroy the engine quicker
Not if you have a good strong engine
Lucky you
If it's that bad, you can always fit a valve lubricant system
Always good to rev it to the limiter 
I have to fix the clicking injectors
@indigo coral I give me one of yours and we have both 5-cyl 
Lol
It runs too rich
I've got my clutch replaced
And the LPG computer restarted it self
Why do they make computers that they zero out when they lose power
Stag
It says in the manual that the computer resets after the power is disconnected
It's popular in poland
ah ok
Poland is one of the few countries where LPG is still popular
And Italy
Otherwise.... not really
@devout atlas buy it
@stoic ledge i'm broke
very
broke
I only have 100 usd in my acc currently


Kind of tempted to get a head unit like this.
Oh god I hate such head units
you talking mad shit for someone in 64Kw grand i10 distance
I either keep my stock head unit, and try to get bluetooth working on that.
Or just one of those whaky android units.
Not the biggest fan of that, since it requires me to relocate the AC controls.
Pretty sure there are BT adapters for the E46
Yatour definitely has one
And if I'd relocate my HVAC controls, I'd get one of those stock looking units
That just looks really dated with that screen and everything.
But I have seen that one as well.
Well not that exact screen, but something like that
Something which looks sort of factory
This is hot garbage.

But might actually buy something like that.
Guessing that it needs to get hooked up, and add power to it? idk
Probably, yes
I know the Yatour stuff is, even without additional power iirc
Also gives you usb and sd for music if you want, and optional a mic for calling 
Do you want something truly terrible
Yes
Chrysler media thing?
Ima retrofit bluetooth streaming into our E53 so whatevs

inb4 i put something rad in the W201
No
Oof
idk who did that
but the car came with cno factory stereo
because it was a company car
but at least it had speakers installed
and they are really good
I do think that trim came with a factory radio
It has the automatic airconditioning
Maybe even the sat nav system using arrows as indicator 
@stoic ledge they automatic air con is hell
Doesn't work well in winter
The paint looks like it went trough sandpaper
I don't have pics without it
I have on my pc
But im moving out today
This car is in such bad cosmetic shape
Nope xD
Wat
Gotta love a factory install

And they screamed at me
This engine is gonna to fall apart
While they get cars with "160k km"
And they need engine to get replaced
I also drive manuals only
I'm terrified of automatics
Yes, manuals ftw
And good engines can do way better than 160k km
Even on gas
Look at Volvo's doing 800k km 
Renaults with 500+k
Why the fear of automatics?
I've even seen these Corsa's already with over 300+k km and still going (idk where they end, but 300k km in 8 years is a lot)
That's why
Rumors are the guy who invented planetary gearsets went crazy trying to understand how it works.
And it shifts forever
Never really had issues with automatics.
Drive one for more than an hour, and you figure out where the shift points are... they're about the same where you usually shift.
*offer only applies to cars with six or fewer speeds
7 speeds and up is easy. As soon as possible.
My driving style doesn't fit the automatic gearbox
press throttle and go
I like automatics
I'm honestly not so sure what the hang up is with autos vs. manuals.
Me: presses acceleterator pedal 0.1% more
Car: lemme shift down 4 gears
that's not how it works mk
I just down shift from 5th to 3rd very often
Lol
And also
automatics are nice because they just work
I just need to downshift when automatic can't
So do manuals lol
No
Wat
I have never changed oil in my gearbox
And it has 300k
Automatics are easy to ruin
You push that stick into the wrong place one time and you're buying a new engine and transmission. Can't do that in an automatic.
They're easy to ruin when you're insert word synonymous for a non-smart person which will probably get sensored by the LMG warship
My car doesn't allow it
Easy solution: don't push it in the wrong place
My car has a mechanic lock when the gearbox spins too fast
Haven't tried that on mine lol
Both automatics and manuals are easy to ruin if you drive like an idiot.
But money shifting is a thing.
And it does happen.
I just replaced my clutch
I'll stick to my somewhat idiot proof automatic
And it coated me 250 euros
You need to change fluids ol
Or u ruin the transmission
obviously
But anyways
Mine is sEaLeD fOr LiFe
my fluid is in good condition
Do u even need to change oil in manual
yes
Because I never did
Now might not be a bad time.
Or maybe the goop is holding the transmission together. lol
Or maybe the goop is holding the transmission together. lol
Yes, I've had friends changing it and it got worst lol
Ford did put good engine in a rotting chassy
Hard to fuck up the ZETEC.
Basically, if the transmission is still shifting smooth, don't change the oil
The head fucks up often
But it's nothing super major
I mean around 40k I need to replace valves
Rip
They tend to get damaged from LPG
yeah, sounds like it.
Eveey 40k km?
Around
DAMN
Gas powered Focus's don't really break.
Depends on your installation
Rip
Mine has an aluminum head
No problem at all
They run 300+k km without ever touching the valves
My LPG is actually pretty new for that car
I ended up changing the trans fluid in my termi at about 120k kms cause shit was slipping horribly
2nd to 3rd was just not having it
I've beed driving my car without clutch once
It got totally burned out half way home
CaLvIn automatic I assume?
Wait and the oil was causing it fo slip?
but the fluid switch helped the trans shift properly
for about another 2-3k
then i just ended up putting a new trans in it
Oof
the way the value works on them is really weird
even really high km terminators in my area
go for 30-40k
cause everyone wants them

Texas is no worse than the rest.
At least I haven't heard of them abusing their rides.
till it arrived in the trailer
Proffesional fix
Its the mustang probe!
Wat
Originally the Probe was meant to be the next Mustang.
Ou
With a Toyota Avensis in the background Monte. Toyota!
Im probably selling the termi cause its pointless to have
the sn95 mustangs are not the greatest of cars but the 3v and 2v engines make the greatest sounds
What's that
I've got no idea what that is
Your eyeballs are gonna to melt
Cool
Car appears to be in great condition by looking at the pic
1st owner probably
Old lady, only driven to church
@stoic ledge more like never driven
AC needs a charge I imagine, worked when last tried
Got money boys
Itβs 5500 over here
@civic girder Iβm hopefully getting a r33 skyline coupe for 3500 usd
nice
oof
how did that happen
F
@frank tundra gtst
This is a special little car. Owned by Jason Cammisa.
Those not in the know. It's basically a Mk1 Golf body, with Scirocco underpinnings.
^^
looks like that one saab that I saw listed for 1.2k
too bad I'm not american
I would've snatched it. f a s t
If I were american
@civic spoke it actually looks very nice
No wonder it doesn'thave the Hyundai logo
I kind of want a FiST.
FiST = Fiesta ST
Focus ST = FoST
A new car. Or a car with a handful of years on it.
Manual wagon 330i would be dang nice.
Just sucks that the 330i is still the 4 cylinder. π¦
Was the F31 330i available as a manual tho?
Poggers
Nice
Navi Business 
Why
Such a let down when a nice BMW is specced with the Business sat nav instead of Professional
Is just looks so cheap
I think automatic is required for the professional one?
Oof
That'd be horrible
Not sure why the Infotainment system requires the automatic tho xD
I've seen lower specced F3x's with manual and Professional
Or maybe they just didn't want to splurge on the infomainment
Well the professional just looks better lol
That'd be the main reason why I'd get it
Yeah and cheap plastic bezels as well
Seriously, I've touched it in a 3er once, it's just horrible cheap plastic
I wonder if you can just throw the professionial one in there...
I think you can upgrade it
But it wasn't cheap iirc
Apparently just swap the screen and change 2 variables
I think my hunch is right, that automatic transmission is required for the professional one.
HU_NBT > 3001 EXBOX > DISPLAY_VARIANTE = breites_display```
Well Professional is always optional on BMW, everything is on pReMiUm cars xD
Respectively M2 and M240i
With a manual and Navi Professional
I don't have a box
Last time I moved somebody (my brother) we moved the TV seperate lol
I'm moving out to a different city 250 km away
Oof
That's like a 2.5~3 hour drive.
At least it's not so far that you have to take a rest.
I hope you secured that TV lol
I don't have anything to secure with
I hope that is gonna to be tight enough that it doesn't bounce
But it's LCD anyways

But it's LCD anyways
@fathom socket good thinking

Oof :/

I like my MK3 Golf
@carmine summit Golf isn't that smol
@stoic ledge all original
@sudden plaza I thought so lol
buyin qoolit piston and cylinder
Golfs are pretty small, I'd like to get a MK1 too
also some new ''jets''
also I'm looking at buying a 1st gen CRX lol
90-102
Lupo, Fox, up!, Polo, Beetle... Are all smaller VW's 
Beetles aren't really smaller than Golfs
how about this 1960's car that was produced in 1990's
We didn't get Lupos, Polos, or Up!s here
how about this 1960's car that was produced in 1990's
No
how about this
We didn't get Lupos, Polos, or Up!s here
Lucky bastards
Yeah I know, but especially the Lupo/Fox/up! were small
126 Fiat
Polski
Yeah I know.. but 126(p) is basically the same car only constructed in a different location
these are all well and good, but I'm not a big fan of being impaled by the steering column

@devout atlas I get to drive a Dacia Sandero next Friday

@devout atlas I get to drive a Dacia Sandero next Friday
@stoic ledge good news!
is it the elusive black edition?
oh
wait
that's been sold
:/
It's a 2017 Laureate
Zhe Black Edition was sold
Because they needed an automatic
"Automatic"... Basically a 5spd manual controlled by a PC
0.9 TCe Easy-R 
I recommended the Stepway, but they didn't listen
Yeah I know.. but 126(p) is basically the same car only constructed in a different location
@stoic ledge 126 and 126p are very different
mostly inside
I drive a 2004 for focus mk 1.5 1.8 16v converted to LPG
also
this crash happened when I was doing my drivers license exam
@stoic ledge 126 and 126p are very different
That's not visible from the outside π But the indicators on the front are a clear tell
this crash happened when I was doing my drivers license exam
Were you in that car π
I was driving by
most likely the tram got away with few scratches
I remember when this tram crashed in to the new one
the one that was crashed in to had to be towed

900 Turbo 
the license plate
Yellow π
it's for historical vehicles
Oof
Buy it
but I'm too broke for that
