Front wheel drive, lot of issues up front and some frame issues as of current

civic girder
#

That'd be like me dailying the RX-7 instead of my 50mpg beast

#

makes zero sense whatsoever

frank tundra
#

i mean in a logical sense

#

90hp is enough

fathom socket
#

Keep in mind, the peugeot mileage wise slaps a 30 at best

civic girder
#

If you think FWD is a problem, you have a really weak mindset, ngl

frank tundra
#

but if he wants to have more fun in his car, and if his peugeot has frame problems

civic girder
#

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)

frank tundra
#

At the end of the day tho, opinions can be given but its your decision, you want all those cars at once

civic girder
#

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

frank tundra
#

thats your choice

fathom socket
#

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^

civic girder
#

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

fathom socket
#

Work is a 3 mile drive away and I'm not doing anything crazy trip wise

civic spoke
#

Get a Yaris, and do a Corolla swap.

fathom socket
#

UK here, corollas arent a thing are they?

civic girder
#

if work is 3 miles, why even bother dailying anything other than Peugeot

fathom socket
#

In the uk I mean

civic girder
#

You should have something like the Corolla

civic spoke
#

They are a thing in Sweden.

civic girder
#

idk what its called there tho

#

Venza? idk

frank tundra
#

Isn't a venza an suv

#

in NA

civic girder
#

There was defo a Corolla in the UK, but not called "Corolla"

fathom socket
frank tundra
#

yeah thats the SUV in NA

civic spoke
fathom socket
#

UK corolla

civic spoke
#

They are totally called "Corolla"

civic girder
#

I'm a freedom man, so I wouldn't know

civic spoke
#

Also, out of those eight cars.

#

All hail the Yaris GR.

civic girder
#

but yea, get something similar to a Corolla (like a Civic or whatever euro shit there is)

#

that's what I would do

fathom socket
#

Just a thought but how are the old hilux's for reliability? Whenever I see them for sale they're all like 300k miles?

civic girder
#

the diesel ones are supposed to be stronk

#

the gas ones are probably fragile

#

gas trucks tend to be shit

civic spoke
#

Look at those flared arches. πŸ‘€

fathom socket
#

More of a clio rs fan when it comes to smaller cars

civic girder
#

says the guy who wants an MX-5

civic spoke
#

Clio is a larger car, though.

civic girder
#

The MX-5 is tiny, even the NC

frank tundra
#

is under 100hp a common thing in the UK

#

?

fathom socket
#

Depends on the car range

#

low-mid range yeh

civic spoke
#

For eco-boxes, it is.

fathom socket
#

We now have a thing that most new cars in low-mid tier == 1.0l engine

civic spoke
#

Entry level cars are 70/90 hp.

civic girder
#

is under 100hp a common thing in the UK
@frank tundra It's common in Europe in general

frank tundra
#

even a kia forte which is like a 10-20k car has over 200hp here LUL

civic girder
#

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

frank tundra
#

here i am having a daily with almost 700+ horsepower atm LUL I need to look into buying something like a older civic

civic girder
#

My daily has like 75hp

#

Technically 110hp, but not realsitically

civic spoke
#

The Kia Forte, That's the same as the Kia Ceed, no?

frank tundra
#

Think so

#

is the ceed a hatch?

civic spoke
#

Yeah

civic girder
#

I thought there was a sedan too

frank tundra
#

Yeah theirs both

#

a Coupe, A sedan and a hatch

civic girder
#

We don't have Forte hatches

frank tundra
#

Theirs forte hatches in canada

civic girder
#

Whack

civic spoke
#

Kia cars here in Sweden

fathom socket
#

Wouldn't mind one of those new stingers

frank tundra
#

The ceed is a nicer kia rio in canada

civic girder
#

The Stinger is mediocre at best imo

frank tundra
#

Depends on what stinger

fathom socket
#

GTS

frank tundra
#

Those are sick

fathom socket
#

3.3 i think

frank tundra
#

400hp?

fathom socket
#

Not sure of the hp tbh

civic spoke
#

The cheapest Kia's have a 67 hp engine.

civic girder
#

I've ridden in the V6 AWD Stinger when it was driven pretty hard. Was very underwhelming imho

#

And extremely uncomfortable

frank tundra
#

I had test drove a Stinger GT

civic girder
#

The seats were awful

frank tundra
#

Its literally a nicer scat pack

#

cheaper too

civic spoke
#

I'd rather have a Genesis G70 over the Stinger.

civic girder
#

Same

#

But I would never ever ever get a G70

civic spoke
#

But we don't have the Gensis over here.

frank tundra
#

Genesis is a lot more expensive here compared to the stinger

civic spoke
#

I'm a BMW type of guy myself. starX

tight cypress
#

just get an old beater

#

comfy

civic girder
#

The G70 is a luxury Stinger

fathom socket
#

Which bm though? πŸ˜„

frank tundra
#

Can't really complain about paying 30-35k for a twin turbo 400hp car

#

that won't kill you insurance wise as well

civic girder
#

falconhand has entered the chat

fathom socket
#

Jeez, I don't even wanna talk insurance here

#

1600 last year for my peugeot

frank tundra
#

Insurance in BC is fucked

#

cause its a monopoly

tight cypress
#

insurance?

#

pfft

frank tundra
#

by 1 company

civic girder
#

A Stinger would cost me like $194 a month in inaurance

frank tundra
#

I pay an insane amount for my hellcat alone

#

thats excluding my srt jeep and my mustang

fathom socket
#

Insurance on my isuzu was 4.3k the first year :/

frank tundra
#

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

tight cypress
#

yeah i have my renoolt uninsured all the time

civic girder
#

so the city dosent give me a ticket for having an uninsured car on my property
@frank tundra that's bullshit

frank tundra
#

Its a real thing in BC

civic spoke
#

The Kia Stinger is starting from 528,000 kr over here. So basically $55,000. But that's also with the V6 engine.

civic girder
#

Why would they ticket you for that

#

That's dumb

frank tundra
#

I had my mustang parked in my driveway

#

it was uninsured cause it was winter

fathom socket
#

Yeh, you gotta apply to SORN a car here if you wont insure a car

frank tundra
#

guy from the city of vancouver bylaw office drove by

fathom socket
#

Which is fucking effort man

frank tundra
#

gave me a 300 dollar ticket

#

that i cant even dispute

civic girder
#

Wtf

fathom socket
#

Jeez

civic girder
#

That's horrible

civic spoke
#

I mean, you can dispute it. You pay it, then dispute it.

frank tundra
#

I wasn't able to dispute that ticket

#

I've literally gotten ticketed for speeding for less

civic girder
#

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)

frank tundra
#

Going 20 over here is a 120-140 dollar ticket

#

Having an uninsured car on your property

#

300

fathom socket
#

going 20 mp over for me is like no license

civic spoke
#

You lose your license going 30 kmh over the limit over here. starX

fathom socket
#

Ohhh metric

civic spoke
#

30 kmh = 18 mph

#

I think

fathom socket
#

Gotcha πŸ™‚

civic spoke
#

Between 18 and 19.

tight cypress
#

hmh

#

what kinda fine would i get

#

for goin 140 in 60 zone

#

without plates

frank tundra
#

Jail

civic girder
#

that's an impound and suspended license lmao

fathom socket
#

None if you keep going 140

civic spoke
#

Police actually lasered the other week. 40 people were stopped for speeding.

frank tundra
#

I went 240 in a 120 and got a 800 dollar ticket and impounded

civic spoke
#

28 of which had their license taken.

frank tundra
#

impound is 2 weeks

tight cypress
#

it was sum gravel

#

never seen a car impounded in finland

frank tundra
#

Its pretty common here

fathom socket
#

We don't really get impounds here

#

as far as I know

frank tundra
#

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

fathom socket
#

You get a daily charge for it?

tight cypress
#

hmh

frank tundra
#

Yeah

tight cypress
#

i dont even have an license yet so

#

hhmmh

frank tundra
#

My SRT Jeep is probably the safest car ive gone 150 mph in LUL

#

As safe as 150mph can be

fathom socket
#

I once did 110 in the pug

#

It took a long while getting there

civic spoke
fathom socket
#

But everything shook hard

#

Ew

#

Why is there a 40d there...

civic spoke
#

340 hp in it.

fathom socket
#

Fixed

civic spoke
#

It probably pulls pretty good.

fathom socket
#

I'm sure the numbers here are series and then engine size

#

so the 320d I had briefly was a 2ltr 3 series

civic spoke
#

Before it used to mean actual engine size. But not anymore.

#

And yeah, first digit is the series. Second and third are the engine.

fathom socket
#

Not incl. a few models though

tight cypress
#

my renoolt aint safe at all

#

rust everywhere and maybe even an hole soon

civic spoke
#

Dang. The 340d has 700 Nm for torque.

tight cypress
#

but it runs

civic spoke
#

That's over 500 lb ft

fathom socket
#

that some pull

civic spoke
#

Wonder what it's tow capacity is.

tight cypress
#

enough

fathom socket
#

A big arse caravan

#

The 320 pulled a mid wheelbase van pretty okay

#

Which was only 295lb ft

civic spoke
#

Oh. Seems like you can only get it from factory with a hitch rated for 1,800 kg

#

Retractable hitch.

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

I too, will get a wife, in order to buy a car on her name

"Lady driven"

civic girder
#

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

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

stoic ledge
#

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 GWseremePeepoGGERS

fathom socket

@stoic ledge they automatic air con is hell

#

Doesn't work well in winter

The paint looks like it went trough sandpaper

This car is in such bad cosmetic shape

OOF

Lucky you

You don't have to break your back like I have to do

Nope xD

stoic ledge
#

Gotta love a factory install

fathom socket
#

There was a version with factory

#

But it was only for Belgium

#

Market

stoic ledge
#

Of the Focus?

#

Oof

fathom socket
#

But it has 300k km

#

And it still runs

stoic ledge
fathom socket
#

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

stoic ledge
#

Yes, manuals ftw

#

And good engines can do way better than 160k km

#

Even on gas

#

Look at Volvo's doing 800k km GWseremePeepoGGERS

#

Renaults with 500+k

dense shard
#

Why the fear of automatics?

stoic ledge
#

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

dense shard
#

nah

#

It's mostly black magic.

fathom socket
#

No

#

Because I have no idea when it shifts

dense shard
#

Rumors are the guy who invented planetary gearsets went crazy trying to understand how it works.

fathom socket
#

And it shifts forever

dense shard
#

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.

fathom socket
#

My driving style doesn't fit the automatic gearbox

dense shard
#

press throttle and go

indigo coral
#

I like automatics

dense shard
#

I'm honestly not so sure what the hang up is with autos vs. manuals.

stoic ledge
#

Me: presses acceleterator pedal 0.1% more
Car: lemme shift down 4 gears

indigo coral
#

that's not how it works mk

fathom socket
#

I just down shift from 5th to 3rd very often

indigo coral
#

Lol

fathom socket
#

And also

indigo coral
#

automatics are nice because they just work

fathom socket
#

I just need to downshift when automatic can't

stoic ledge
#

So do manuals lol

indigo coral
#

Manuals are risky and easy to ruin

#

Automatics handle themselves

stoic ledge
#

No

fathom socket
#

Wat

#

I have never changed oil in my gearbox

#

And it has 300k

#

Automatics are easy to ruin

indigo coral
#

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.

stoic ledge
#

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

fathom socket
#

My car doesn't allow it

stoic ledge
#

Easy solution: don't push it in the wrong place

fathom socket
#

My car has a mechanic lock when the gearbox spins too fast

stoic ledge
#

Haven't tried that on mine lol

dense shard
#

Both automatics and manuals are easy to ruin if you drive like an idiot.

#

But money shifting is a thing.

#

And it does happen.

fathom socket
#

I just replaced my clutch

indigo coral
#

I'll stick to my somewhat idiot proof automatic

fathom socket
#

And it coated me 250 euros

#

You need to change fluids ol

#

Or u ruin the transmission

dense shard
#

obviously

fathom socket
#

But anyways

stoic ledge
#

Mine is sEaLeD fOr LiFe

indigo coral
#

my fluid is in good condition

fathom socket
#

Do u even need to change oil in manual

dense shard
#

yes

fathom socket
#

Because I never did

dense shard
#

Now might not be a bad time.

#

Or maybe the goop is holding the transmission together. lol

fathom socket
#

It is a bad time

#

The chassy is falling apart

stoic ledge
#

Or maybe the goop is holding the transmission together. lol
Yes, I've had friends changing it and it got worst lol

fathom socket
#

Ford did put good engine in a rotting chassy

dense shard
#

Hard to fuck up the ZETEC.

stoic ledge
#

Basically, if the transmission is still shifting smooth, don't change the oil

fathom socket
#

The head fucks up often

#

But it's nothing super major

#

I mean around 40k I need to replace valves

stoic ledge
#

Rip

fathom socket
#

They tend to get damaged from LPG

dense shard
#

yeah, sounds like it.

stoic ledge
#

Eveey 40k km?

stoic ledge

Mine has an aluminum head

No problem at all

#

They run 300+k km without ever touching the valves

fathom socket
#

My LPG is actually pretty new for that car

frank tundra
#

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

fathom socket
#

I've beed driving my car without clutch once

#

It got totally burned out half way home

stoic ledge
#

CaLvIn automatic I assume?

frank tundra
#

manual

#

it ended up being More then a fluid issue

stoic ledge
#

Wait and the oil was causing it fo slip?

fathom socket
frank tundra
#

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

stoic ledge
#

Oof

frank tundra
#

kinda oof kinda not

#

you see with sn95 mustangs

fathom socket
frank tundra
#

the way the value works on them is really weird

even really high km terminators in my area

go for 30-40k

Is just looks so cheap

civic spoke

I think automatic is required for the professional one?

stoic ledge

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

civic spoke

Or maybe they just didn't want to splurge on the infomainment

stoic ledge

Well the professional just looks better lol

That'd be the main reason why I'd get it

Seriously, I've touched it in a 3er once, it's just horrible cheap plastic

civic spoke

I wonder if you can just throw the professionial one in there...

stoic ledge

I think you can upgrade it

But it wasn't cheap iirc

#

Apparently just swap the screen and change 2 variables
