[flint sable]

Oh that’s a cobra R

[fierce gate]

OOOOH

now that makes sense lol

My friend with a car lot actually has one of these that he's going to offload cheap

[flint sable]

Yeah

[fierce gate]

if I hadn't of just bought my v6 I would have bought it

[flint sable]

They’re pretty low in price as of now

Ford had one at their display at Carlisle

[fierce gate]

People seem to not like that gen cobra, but I think they're gorgeous cars

I'd love to have a convertible of that era

[flint sable]

Mmmm

The wheels on the fox body cobra are mmmm

The turbine ones

[fierce gate]

Yeah, such a cool car.

Meanwhile mine is an auto v6 08 😛

but I plan getting more

[flint sable]

Oooh nice

[fierce gate]

Love me some fox body also

guy down the road from me drives a MINT gt fox

blacked out everything. Looks like something vader would drive around in maskless

[flint sable]

Wow

[static canopy]

Damn

[fierce gate]

Yeah. I feel like Vader maskless is kind of more sinister, because of how serious he is. That's like vader about to a toss an elderly retiree into the core of a death star

[tropic zodiac]

Amazing.

My replacement pads and rotors come in tomorrow.

Only for my entire fucking caliper to explode tonight.

[civic girder]

One man destroyed his brakes, while another repaired his

I've legit spent the last 3 days working on adjusting, fixing, and bleeding my rear brakes lmao

#ParkingIsHard

[devout atlas]

I bet that teh bimmer started it

[civic girder]

Shop quoted me for $2900

A little more than I was expecting, but still semi reasonable

Oh, and they told me they found bearing material and metal in the oil. They used sensors to listen for the location of the noise, pinpointing it to cylinder 2, which makes sense.

Will call one or two other shops to see if they can quote me for engine replacement. Just want to see if I can get the price closer to $2k flat

If not, oh well. Long as it's done right, I don't care too much. I just want the car back and fully functional. Will have to axe buying a brand new car as a daily in a year or two, and will just keep the Prius for a lot longer

[devout atlas]

Isn't that close to totaling the prius?

2k?

[civic girder]

Idk

Thought 2nd gens went for around 3-4k these days

I got the car for free, so spending $3k on a new motor is almost like buying the car. Everything else is in immaculate condition. Traction battery will likely need new cells soon™️ but that's cheap and easy to diy.

Would be fine with dailying it for the next 5+ years

[jade oyster]

I know this is very late, but the K5 has a V8 with a performance camshaft

I had a picture of the engine, but can’t seem to find it

[civic girder]

Ok yea, the car is probs worth around $5-6k after the engine replacement

So not bad at all

I'd be putting in about half it's value

And tbh, that quote doesn't really hurt me that bad. Just disappointing because that's $3k less in my bank to save for a house next year.

The cut into what I'm trying to save for a down payment is really the bad part tbh

[jade oyster]

Are we talking about the same vehicle here?

[civic girder]

But if I get 5+ year out of the car afterwards, I'm fine with that.

Are we talking about the same vehicle here?
@jade oyster I'm talking about my car

[jade oyster]

Oh, I said something about a truck I posted.

[devout atlas]

Would be fine with dailying it for the next 5+ years
@civic girder mhmm

I didn't know that a prius is worth that much

[civic girder]

Me either

I thought they were $3k

But I do have the last model year of the 2nd gen

And it is immaculate with only minor cosmetic damage. Was in a minor front end collision, but the repairs were excellent. Chassis on just over 100k. Idk how much the new motor will have

[devout atlas]

mhmm

That's a bit steep for a prius

I'd rather get 'insert random Buick land yacht', but then, I'd lose a lot more in fuel

[civic girder]

Yea

I could sell the car as is for maybe $2k at a maximum, but with a dying motor I doubt I'd get much over $1k. And then I only recover $1k to put towards a new car. $1k won't get me what I'm needing out of a daily without adding extra on top. So either way I'll be out a few thousand

[devout atlas]

ye

get a yacht

a land yacht

[civic girder]

Get a sketch-tastic police interceptor for $1400 like my friend did

[devout atlas]

ayy

sure

bonus points for crack in the doorsills

[civic girder]

His police car is mega sketch lol

Its reliable sure, but still scuffed

[devout atlas]

it's got an LSD though

HEmust be an absolute hooligan with it

[civic girder]

Welded diff, no exhaust past the cats, wiring is ultra fucked and the essentials barely work

It was rear ended at some point

[devout atlas]

sounds like a police interceptor

[civic girder]

AC was deleted

[devout atlas]

good for donuts in the Applebees Parking lot

[civic girder]

It was open diff originally

Prev owner welded it

[devout atlas]

police interceptor?

[civic girder]

Oh, and it's at like 200k miles lol

[devout atlas]

Didn't they come with LSDs?

the p71s?

[civic girder]

I don't think the police cars had lsd

[devout atlas]

Oh, and it's at like 200k miles lol
@civic girder that's nothing for a m o d u l a r

[civic girder]

Otherwise why would you weld the diff

[devout atlas]

yeah

makes sense

I want a nice grand marquis

because better interior bits and bobs

and nobody would think of me as a cop imposter

[civic girder]

Oh man, my friend likes to joke about the cops all the damn time

If he follows when we cruise and he's in the Vic, when we arrive somewhere hell pull up and get out, saying "I'll let you off with a warning this time bub"

[devout atlas]

typical p71 owner behavior

[civic girder]

Lmao

Its good memes tho

[devout atlas]

don't forget to get a 'sheriff hat'

and those aviators

[indigo coral]

My dad has a sheriff hat.

It's absolutely hilarious watching how people act around our explorer when he's wearing it

[devout atlas]

[civic girder]

My buddy doesn't do shit like where a hat

He just memes with me and our other friends

[devout atlas]

sounds about right

[civic girder]

His daily is a 2nd gen Neon and he also has an E46 sedan with 5spd

[flint sable]

Gotta paint the airdam

essentially

[atomic belfry]

there's no point to an vauxhall

[devout atlas]

because GM owns everything including me

[stoic ledge]

Other Opel

[atomic belfry]

they only steal cars

nah

[devout atlas]

and buick uses rebadged vauxhalls, which are opels

[atomic belfry]

gimme that corsa

[devout atlas]

and therefore, all opels are buicks

:big_brain:

[flint sable]

Yep

[stoic ledge]

@round turtle everybody buys CUVs sadly enough

[atomic belfry]

@civic spoke its a fwd

[stoic ledge]

While Mini vans are actually the better type of car

[atomic belfry]

and its an 7 seater

[civic spoke]

It takes a lot of bravery not to drive one of those into a wall.

@atomic belfry That does not sounds like a priority for someone buying such vehicle 😛

if they are buying an opc they do want to have a bit of fun

Wish we could have a V8 in our explorer

Lol

Twin turbo V8 fast

[atomic belfry]

i wish i could have a v8 in an zafira

[indigo coral]

our exploder only has a V6 rn

shame they didn't add two more cylinders

Lmao

[atomic belfry]

we only have a 4 banger but its faster than some v6's

[indigo coral]

365hp, 3.5L twin turbo V6

In the explorer

[atomic belfry]

2.0 single turbo i4 in the zafira opc 241hp

and the NA 1.8 has 150

[indigo coral]

I drove my grandparents 2007 RX yesterday, that shit fast tbh

Despite being naturally aspirated

[atomic belfry]

yeah NA isnt bad

i treid drifting an NA mx-5 that thing didnt slide

[fierce gate]

not gonna lie. This footage from Sturgis is making me super conflicted. On one hand I'm watching in horror, on the otherhand it's reminding me of my love for bikes. I might have to go build a vintage bike

[indigo coral]

its also a 3.5 V6, 270hp but it's underrated, it's closer to 300

2007 RX 350

[atomic belfry]

i think the diesel 1.7 i4 has 300nm

not sure tho

[indigo coral]

[fierce gate]

ooh we have one of those RX's in the shop. That car is sooo comfortable and shockingly quick for what it is.

My favorite part is how all the mirrors and the wheel automatically rotate based on your speed or gear

[indigo coral]

I have a 1999 RX, first gen, first year

[fierce gate]

ah nice

[indigo coral]

I quite like it

[stoic ledge]

i think the diesel 1.7 i4 has 300nm
@atomic belfry oeh yes falcon loves diesels

[indigo coral]

Despite being slow

It's a rare colour

[atomic belfry]

lol

[indigo coral]

First week of production

[fierce gate]

the one out here is kind of a disaster. The hybrid battery went dead and the customer just left it out of frustration

[atomic belfry]

diesels torque is crazy tho

[fierce gate]

Might ask him if I can just have it and swap a new battery in.

[atomic belfry]

a s4 diesel has around 700nm

[indigo coral]

Ooof yikes, the 2007 my grandparents have is the 350 so it's just a gas motor

[stoic ledge]

diesels torque is crazy tho
@atomic belfry but long gears, some basically won't make a difference

a rs4 diesel has around 700nm
@atomic belfry S4*

[indigo coral]

I like the 2007 tho it needs an alignment

[fierce gate]

Man. If you let the car battery go dead on those rx hybrids you are in for a shitstorm

[atomic belfry]

@atomic belfry but long gears, some basically won't make a difference
@stoic ledge how high does your Corsa go? with RPM's

[fierce gate]

looks like I can get a battery for $1k. It's pretty straight (the car), but I worry slightly about how bad that install could be.

[indigo coral]

I don't think they're that bad

[fierce gate]

Shipping fee is pretty rough

[atomic belfry]

@stoic ledge how high does your Corsa go? with RPM's
@atomic belfry i can go to around 6 to 7k

[indigo coral]

if you just gonna give it away lmk i'll come pick it up 🤣

[fierce gate]

I'm gonna call the guy up later and see if he'd be interested in doing this

You know, those hybrids go dirt cheap at auctions once the battery goes. Makes me wonder if I could reliably pick them up, swap out the battery, and flip them.

[indigo coral]

I'd like one of the hybrid ones

[fierce gate]

They're stupid quick feeling off the line

that's the first thing I noticed

[indigo coral]

Yeah

[fierce gate]

All those acuras of that era have that weird space ship feeling also. It's a silly description, but their all just so quick yet smooth

[atomic belfry]

thats what mazda is tryna do with there 0.2 seconds delay on the throttle

[atomic belfry]

where's the 1.9cdti?

nope

i dont really like the new opel zafira's from 9 and up

2009 and up

Ah

I don't mind the Zafira (C) (Tourer)

i dont mind them if they have black rims and is low to the ground

you cant say that doesnt sound godly

[flint sable]

@atomic belfry that’s quite a good looking car honestly, I’d get one, the bmw is neat too lol

[atomic belfry]

yeah with those wheels and lowerd its pretty sick

[indigo coral]

F80 looks good

[atomic belfry]

but standard

[flint sable]

I love the front end

[atomic belfry]

F80 looks good
@indigo coral best looking car that exists

it is growing on my tho

[indigo coral]

nah, best looking car that exists is the Lexus LC500

[atomic belfry]

disagree

it looks good but not that good

[fathom socket]

f80 is a nice looking bmw

i wouldnt say its the best looking car ever tho

my fave bmw would be either old 8 series or original 4 series/m4

[atomic belfry]

personal preference

[fathom socket]

fair

[stoic ledge]

like this one
@atomic belfry lol Irmscher

[dense shard]

Old 8 is nice.

But for sheer presence. I'd say LC or LF-A.

Painted in that limited edition blue. unf

[fathom socket]

defo ye

but 8 series is almost affordable rn

[dense shard]

By virtue of being a 30 year old car.

Adjust for inflation and they're about the same.

[devout atlas]

850i

*825i

[fathom socket]

so in 22 years lc will be afforrable cant wait

that maths is wrong right

[dense shard]

Get a better job.

Depends what year of 850i you want.

or you can wait 3 years for the new one to be affordable.

The 120k car with the interior out of a 3 series, platform out of everything else.

[fathom socket]

cheapest 850 i see is 14.5k

[dense shard]

The new or old one?

[fathom socket]

old one

[dense shard]

damn, that's pricy.

Well I guess they were gonna rebound in value sooner or later.

[fathom socket]

pop ups gonna add some value there

the cheapest 8 series is 4.8k but its got 170k miles

much afford very wow

apparently theres gonna be a new m3 touring

[devout atlas]

ye

it better be not shit

[fathom socket]

its probably gonna be a helluva lot better than the new m4 which comes t the same time

oh wait it might have the same grill

shid

[indigo coral]

I'm seriously considering not getting a G70 and getting a newer RX and saving up for a LC in a few years

[tropic zodiac]

New brake parts

Probably need a caliper too.

[charred depot]

suspicious fluid looking mark :^|

its under the fuel filler tube but doesent smell like fuel, cant tell if its some sort of paint either seemed like i could spread it sort of.

[ocean fulcrum]

obvious what i drive

[devout atlas]

that's cursed

[fathom socket]

what type os suspention it is?

[winter viper]

Ohh i miss my old bus

[prime scroll]

tried to model a "chevy suburban" in leocad, suv cuboid ensued

[fathom socket]

Looks pretty accurate to me

[prime scroll]

accurate? doesn't really look the part

[indigo coral]

looks better than the real suburban

[tropic zodiac]

Is this just a dust boot, or do I need a whole new caliper?

My other caliper was ripped in the same spot but not leaking fluid

Rotor size comparison between old and new

[atomic belfry]

Is this just a dust boot, or do I need a whole new caliper?
@tropic zodiac it should be good enough to drive with but i wouldn't trust it same with your brake disks

[fathom socket]

I wonder how are mine

[atomic belfry]

i know mine just got replaced idk how bad they where tho

[tropic zodiac]

Oh yeah I replaced the pads and rotors @atomic belfry

That caliper just has to hold up for a little bit until I get the money to replace it

[fathom socket]

I only replaced the clutch assembly and resurfaced the flywheel

[civic spoke]

I also need to replace pads and rotors.

Along with pads for the parking brake.

[fathom socket]

I have no idea in what condition my rotors are

And brakes are half worn

I need to change the brake fluid

[tropic zodiac]

I did my clutch and flywheel about 2 months ago. Was fun to learn. And surprisingly easy other than maneuvering the transaxle out of the way

[fathom socket]

I would not be able to

I dpon't have place and tools to do that

but my worst issue is

replacing valves

[stoic ledge]

[zenith tangle]

nothing wrong with a vehicle /w towing rings, makes it cheaper to get it all rigged up.......... 99% of the cost to tow a vehicle is "how much effort" the towing driver has to put out (i know had to have my truck pulled out because of snow).

[tame jungle]

wtf are these wheels

[dense shard]

Saw a super rare car today.

Ford Freestyle.

[fathom socket]

They are maybach rims @tame jungle

The newer one or some old cool one(

[indigo coral]

wot, we see those all over @dense shard

[fathom socket]

is that just a ford ecosport?

[indigo coral]

no

Taurus X/Freestyle

Predecessor to the Flex

[fathom socket]

oh a freestyle in india is an ecosport

nice of ford to use the same name for all their cars in all regions

[carmine summit]

So I think I'm gonna go look at this VR6 GTI on the weekend

If the shell is clean I'll buy it and sell the engine, transmission, and engine harness out of it to get most of my money back

[devout atlas]

@civic girder best car

[fathom socket]

Want subzero temps... But 100F+ without AC in a black painted car without working Windows (always closed) and without air filter isn't fun.

[devout atlas]

they good?

schmol bois

what are those, 14s?

wow

must be cheap to rent?

280.8 euros for a whole day

the tyres are 175/65 R15
@turbid onyx the rims are not actually as smol as I thought they were

those seats look...

uncomfortable

[fathom socket]

heh

what's so GT about ranult clio

[sour oracle]

It means that...

MO POWAH BABEH

Well yea maybe that

[fathom socket]

it has less HP than my 2004 focus

[sour oracle]

Damn

[fathom socket]

I had to chose VW polo or clio GT

[sour oracle]

Hmm

I would chose the polo to be honest

[fathom socket]

polo is way too small

[sour oracle]

French cars arent that much reliable sometimes

[fathom socket]

I already driven clio and it's good enough

but for a rental

[sour oracle]

That's nice

I kinda wish to get an little hothatch one day

Like an abarth 500, used ones kinda get from 8k and well, they seem good

[fathom socket]

fiat 500 and abarth 595 are way too small for me

[sour oracle]

Its a small car, in the back is even worse hahaha

Well

Less people=less weight sooo

Race car

[fathom socket]

my moms yaris has 0 legs space on the rear

remove rear seats

I would remove them in my focus

but I have no space to store tem

and thiefs

[sour oracle]

You can sell them but if you need them later on better not

You can also fold them down and have more space in the trunk

Plus you can add an, I kinda forgot the name but it stops the stuff back there go in front

[fathom socket]

I need them to pass inspection

the issue is

my seat is pulled so much back

I can't fold the seats flat

[sour oracle]

Well then I think it's better to leave that way, but theres other ways to save weight

A nice first mod that would be tyres

[stoic ledge]

French cars arent that much reliable sometimes
@sour oracle but VW is

[sour oracle]

Not really 😂

The must reliable car is a peel p50

Haters gonna hate

[stoic ledge]

[sour oracle]

Lets v10 swap an p50 mate

[stoic ledge]

Engine bigger than entire vehicle

[sour oracle]

You get a big heated seat ;)

Modern problems require modern solutions

[stoic ledge]

Oof

I should order me some 0W30

[fathom socket]

[flint sable]

EW

GRILLE

[fathom socket]

Audi angular front doesn't quite match the whole Bugatti round thing

[median egret]

I hate that stripe above the grille

fucking

make the grille taller

dont add an extra gap

but i feel like it could work

[median egret]

god no

[fathom socket]

can it take chunky tyres doe

[median egret]

Ye idk

[fathom socket]

this one is pretty nice for a blend

[median egret]

Do u have more ot those

OH NO KIA HAHAHA

only the Audi works imo

unless u show more idk

[fathom socket]

ngl im a fan of this bad boy

leaked image of Maserati mc20#

[median egret]

HAHAHAHA

[fathom socket]

@fathom socket some e did a bad job

They need to make the window higher

[dense shard]

oh boy... a Wagoneer.

Let me guess... based on the Durango.

[drowsy kernel]

ngl im a fan of this bad boy
@fathom socket scheisse, ist that multipla coupe?!

[dense shard]

The Wagoneer emblem, finished in gold lettering, also has an American flag logo, likely calling out the fact that the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer will be built in Michigan.

Ah yes... the American flag... the official flag of... Michigan.

[stoic ledge]

[dense shard]

I'm not sure why any company that sells SUVs in the US is pretending that being built in the US is special.

They're doing it because otherwise they'd have a 25% tariff to pass on to the buyer... and no one is buying a Renegade for 35k. lol

[fathom socket]

Ja, das Fiat Multipla Coupé ist fantastisch

[drowsy kernel]

Nein! Nein scheise!!!

[stoic ledge]

Jawohl

Wiener schnitzel

[dense shard]

It's a multipla.

Let's not get too heated on opinions over it.

[stoic ledge]

Multipla > all

Fact.

[drowsy kernel]

TBH it was mechanically pretty good design xD

[fathom socket]

lc> multipla > everything else

[dense shard]

I like the design tbh.

It was unique.

[fathom socket]

top gear france best car apparently

may have been liking it slightly ironically but its still a god among metal boxes

[dense shard]

It's a small, decent, styled MPV.

[indigo coral]

LC best looking car

[drowsy kernel]

still ever since I've bought 150K KM milage ( or kilomerage?) 1.8 passat b5 I've completely fallen in love with it :3

[indigo coral]

better than a Multipla

[dense shard]

"We want a unique cool looking car!"
"We have released a unique car..."
boooo it looks terrible."

[indigo coral]

Multipla looks better tahn the Aztek though

[drowsy kernel]

aztek is at least unicue cuz it's yankie import xD

[stoic ledge]

Better than a PT 🛳️

[dense shard]

Aztec's biggest issue is the plastic cladding imo.

PT Cruiser looks fine.

[indigo coral]

PT Cruiser is one of the absolute worst cars ever made.

Heniously ugly, especially with the "wood" sides.

[dense shard]

It's a remarkably roomy car.

It was great for cargo.

[indigo coral]

best looking 90s car was the rx300

[dense shard]

PT Cruiser, Element, and uhhhhh... Chevy HHR?

Tall cargo wagons are rare

[drowsy kernel]

well i kinda get what they were thinking when deginging the PT and new beetle too pbad it ended up a girly car instead of being a manly retro thtogh back 😦

[dense shard]

The Beetle was never manly.

[indigo coral]

never.

also I've heard the beetle drives like a big car despite being small

[drowsy kernel]

well it's got 1.8l engine it in's lowest incarnation xD

it's like the best engine for passat and golf xD

[dense shard]

Too bad it isn't sold in the US anymore.

[pallid sky]

[indigo coral]

hi jake

[dense shard]

I'll stick to my Toyota.

[indigo coral]

I really really like the E60 M5

[pallid sky]

[indigo coral]

shame it's a reliability mess

[dense shard]

Even if I'm hurting for room.

Don't forget the DLC, Falcon.

[pallid sky]

the e60 m5 is glorious. I almost bought a 6 speed car... but I dont really want one because they're annoying to work on

[dense shard]

"Heated seats are only 12 dollars a month."

[drowsy kernel]

I kinda find seat's cupras the best affordable cars TBH

[indigo coral]

I seem to hav e a thing for V10s

[pallid sky]

the v10 engine bay is CRAMPED

[indigo coral]

my unattainable dream car is a Lexus LFA (lol)

[dense shard]

I wouldn't mind an older BMW.

New ones... blah. Far far far away for me.

[indigo coral]

Never even seen one

They sound soo good though

[pallid sky]

e series is as new as i go

except the f90 m5

that thing is glorious

[dense shard]

E... yeah.

E36 would be a nice project... but the cheap ones are beat to hell, and the survivors are now going up in price.

[indigo coral]

I'd love an E92 335i with the N55

[dense shard]

I'll probably end up with a Nissan or Mazda for a project.

[drowsy kernel]

BMW series 3 be like the most sterootipical poor kid's car to show off xD

[dense shard]

Is it?

[indigo coral]

Depends.

If you're buying a 318i stripper model, yes

[dense shard]

I always assumed poor kids drive what their parents get them.

[indigo coral]

If you buy it because you actually care about the car and how it drives, no.

[dense shard]

oh please. 318 hasn't been a viable choice in a decade.

Excellent car, but they stopped those in the US with the E36.

[indigo coral]

You know what I mean though

like the stripper base model just to have a BMW

vs buying a BMW because you actually appreciate the car

[dense shard]

tbh... I'd say the 318 IS the driver's BMW.

[near bay]

Mfw I replaced the tie rod ends and cant get the car realigned because the shops power is out

[drowsy kernel]

I'm still kinda sentimental about the times when Opel callibra used to be cheapo cool car ❤️

[dense shard]

Excellent shifter, great clutch, and actually nice engine.

[drowsy kernel]

would love to have one nowadays

[stoic ledge]

👀

[dense shard]

Personally... I prefer it over the E46 era stuff.

[normal temple]

Just get a 325is and regret like me

[indigo coral]

[dense shard]

E30 is it?

[normal temple]

Yes

[dense shard]

That's just a classic car now.

Go to cars and coffee and tell kids to not touch your car.

[normal temple]

Its still my daily
