Gonna buy a new car, need suggestions from all you big brainers out there.

[granite anvil]

If you wanna modify I’d stick to JDM and id get a BRZ, WRX, or Supra.. V8 wise hellcat

[cloud sluice]

A gr86 would suit I reckon or maybe a gt86 and have some money left over

[granite anvil]

Yeah a BRZ you can get for like 10-20k and use the other 15k to send it to a shop and get shit done like a turbo kit, rims, airbags.. etc

[frail bridge]

WRX.

my reccomendation.

[granite anvil]

if you wanna deal with a boxer engine then sure

Can’t modify it for shit plus unreliable

[faint ice]

Fr

[faint ice]

I wouldn’t. Stupid design. Head stud dowels bend and warp because of gravity lol.

Get something that is upright, or at least a V layout.

I own a 2015 Subaru for a daily; good daily, nothing else

[faint ice]

Supra and skylines have really good engines, really reliable too with a lot of parts out there.

[granite anvil]

If you can afford a skyline

[faint ice]

Mine was 10k

[granite anvil]

Supra mk5 are reliable

[faint ice]

Wdym

[granite anvil]

And cheap

[faint ice]

I got my r34 for 10k

[granite anvil]

Well the skylines here are like 40-70k at the best

[faint ice]

You don’t know all the models

[granite anvil]

That’s just what I’ve seen on the market here

[faint ice]

Mine is a r34 sedan with a 2.5

Awesome engine and shares parts with the 26

[granite anvil]

What engine? RB, JZ, Straight 6?

I’m building my Honda up

[faint ice]

Getting a 26 head finally built and machined this week; and putting it on.

[faint ice]

R34s only came with inline 6s

[faint ice]

I see

[granite anvil]

Yeah i know.. didn’t know if you swapped it or you bought it swapped

[faint ice]

The rb25de is really cheap

[granite anvil]

I bet but i really don’t like the RBs especially in skylines

I feel like the RBs or more s14s type

[faint ice]

All you gotta do to convert it to a det block is get the bottom end machined for oil squirters and swap the rods and pistons.

[faint ice]

Better than the 2j imo

[granite anvil]

I rebuilt my engine from the block

Yeah they are but yknow you can never go wrong with the jz

Even a 1j

[spare pecan]

GG @granite anvil, you just advanced to level 2! Chat more to level up and earn top roles!

[faint ice]

Rbs rev higher, have itbs; have a awd platform. Multiple blocks you can play with; and cheaper parts used than jzs

[granite anvil]

Yeah that’s the good thing abt rbs but depending on what you want

[faint ice]

Who doesn’t want a high reving engine with individual throttle bodies

[granite anvil]

I got a K20Z3 in my Honda… wished it was the A2 but you can’t have everything you want

You can get independent throttles for basically any engine

[solemn breach]

Na miata

[granite anvil]

You just have to buy the part

[faint ice]

It’s stock, and not really. Some are super expensive kits; and you are gonna need a separate manifold; probably custom

[granite anvil]

Mine is 400$ for my engine

[faint ice]

Like for the mk5, you need a bracket and a new intake

[granite anvil]

I wanted it then I saw how expensive it was and i don’t even see the point

[faint ice]

Cause it’s probably off a similar model

[faint ice]

Ur Honda

[granite anvil]

Well not just having independent throttles for each cylinder it also had independent intake for each one too

Yuh

[faint ice]

Stacks u mean

[granite anvil]

It was like a cone shaped

[faint ice]

Stacks

[granite anvil]

Yeah i really don’t know what they called but yuh

[faint ice]

Velocity stacks

[granite anvil]

But I didn’t see the point if I’m running a turbo

Yuh

That’s it

[faint ice]

You can get split apart intakes that have the stacks inside the manifold. That is what I am doing. So I can still have twins

[granite anvil]

Yeah I ain’t doing all that on a Honda

It’s a waste of time

[faint ice]

I mean you can get knock off manifolds. Getting a greddy one for 500. Cheaper than the 3k and legit exactly the same. There is even a cutout for the greddy badge you can buy alone lol.

https://www.amazon.ca/GOWE-INTAKE-MANIFOLD-Plenum-Skyline/dp/B075462SRW

Legit gonna buy it and the badge and have a greddy manifold for $550 instead of 3k lmao

[granite anvil]

I’m thinking about painting my stock manifold black to match the red valve cover

[faint ice]

I am gonna paint mine too

Black also

[granite anvil]

My alt is in the way tho

[faint ice]

My covers I want a top secret gold though

[granite anvil]

It’s a pain to get out without taking it off

Took me an hour to get it on after rebuilding the engine

[faint ice]

Wut

[granite anvil]

The intake mani

The alt gets in the way just barely

[faint ice]

Weird

[granite anvil]

Take a look yourself

Well not the alt

The pulley

[faint ice]

Nice work, beautiful engine

[granite anvil]

Thank you

[faint ice]

I see, weird spot

[granite anvil]

Rebuilt it all from the block

Yeah it’s that damn corner

If I wanna paint it i have to take it back off which I’m scared to do and don’t have the patience for

[slim gust]

Albeit I like the snug fit of my civic, a miata would just be too small for me. I've been thinking about a few options

• 2019-2021 Subaru WRX STI: Well within my budget, probably a bad choice though due to reliability issues.
• 2019 - 2020 Honda Accord Sport 2.0T: Pretty fast for a new honda, definitely within budget, just apparently super difficult to find in a manual.
• 2020ish Chevrolet Camaro LT1: Don't know much about camaros, but I know their transmission is better than the mustang's. I wouldn't mind driving one, don't care how many mpg I get as long as I can use and abuse it. Don't think Camaro's have as much aftermarket support though.
• 2019 - 2021 Ford Mustang GT Premium: I personally am a fan of Mustang's more than Camaros, however if I do get one I will have to send my manual transmission off to ben calimer to make it actually useable.
• 2019/2020 Honda Civic Si Sedan: Not as fast as the Accord, however, it's cheaper and it has a siiiick widebody kit that you can get for it.

I personally am not a fan of Hellcat's, or any dodges in general really. GR86 and BRZ is meh, I enjoy their appearance, but not nearly enough to drive one. Someone suggested a Supra MK5, I wouldn't mind driving one, however, it is well out of my price range.

[faint ice]

Cheap garbo

[granite anvil]

I have a 06 civic si and it’s a manual

[spare pecan]

GG @granite anvil, you just advanced to level 3! Chat more to level up and earn top roles!

[granite anvil]

It has a fucking k20 in it STOCK

[faint ice]

Legit not worth the price anymore for a na miata

[granite anvil]

If you go for the 8th gen civics they come with k20s

Which is 06-11

[slim gust]

I am currently driving a 2010 honda civic si coupe

[granite anvil]

Who gives a fuck about mileage as long as you look cool

I have a coupe as well

[slim gust]

chad

[faint ice]

You don’t buy a civic to look cool imo

[granite anvil]

Wanna see?

[faint ice]

I really don’t like the looks of civics, but u can try

[slim gust]

me doin stupid shit in my boi

[faint ice]

Lmao

[granite anvil]

The widebodys go crazy tn

Tho

[slim gust]

For example

[faint ice]

No, I am a oem plus kinda guy; so that ain’t gonna work

[granite anvil]

My civic is all blacked out

[slim gust]

You gotta admit our e-brake is hella weird

[granite anvil]

My shit is OEM rn other than rims, smoked lights, fuel pump, and the engine

[faint ice]

About to say that 😂

[granite anvil]

They are ass

Dogshit at its finest

[granite anvil]

They made exquisite Dogshit

That’s a 10th gen civic

[slim gust]

yeah

[faint ice]

Srry I just don’t like the look of civics, just don’t. And the rims ain’t my cup of tea either. I don’t like black, nor red on wheels.

[granite anvil]

I don’t like the headlights at all

That’s what throws me off

And the taillights

[slim gust]

meep meep

[granite anvil]

Imagine this

[granite anvil]

I was looking into buying those headlights

But I changed my mind and got RGB LED bulbs

[faint ice]

I am just converting my rear tails to leds and keeping my gtrs headlights stock. I really like clear headlights. Maybe try to convert your blinker to a clear.

Led tails and full clear headlights would look better imo

[granite anvil]

I liked the smoked taillights.. the headlights I want a black base but clear front

[slim gust]

Anyways, I'm gonna repost, since I got lost in convo. Let me know what you guys think

Albeit I like the snug fit of my civic, a miata would just be too small for me. I've been thinking about a few options

[faint ice]

Anyways gtg

[thorny roost]

a camero is not better than a mustang

[faint ice]

Or you could get one to be a headlight intake like I am gonna do lol

[granite anvil]

Nah i don’t really need it

[slim gust]

manual transmission wise, it is, I believe

[granite anvil]

Josh go look at my post

[thorny roost]

a supra mk5 is 44k

[slim gust]

which is outside of my budget of 35k. If I had 44k, I would buy a Type R.

[slim gust]

That's nice

[thorny roost]

i thinks my headlights are yellow not clear

[slim gust]

I know jack shit about german cars, from what I've heard BMW has shit reliability, and the rest don't have many modern options available for manual transmission.

LIke the look tho for sure

[thorny roost]

this is a manual or a automatic

[spare pecan]

GG @thorny roost, you just advanced to level 6! Chat more to level up and earn top roles!

[thorny roost]

it has a stick in it if you want it like that

[slim gust]

I heavily prefer stick shift over anything else. Just such a satisfying experience being able to row through gears.

Only auto transmission I respect too much to buy a manual is the porsche PDK

[thorny roost]

get a a3 then its under your price range, looks good,is a stick.

[slim gust]

eh, the look of it is meh

from what i see on google

[thorny roost]

you have to do some slight mods

[slim gust]

Anyways, I'm closing the chat. It's been flooded with just chatting, gonna make a new one.
