[wise sonnet]

what car is dis

[cunning vine]

156 with the 2.5 24v

They've become rare as hell because of stupid scrappage schemes

[wise sonnet]

oh its an Alfa im extremely surprised in that case haha

[cunning vine]

Somehow yeah lmao

[wise sonnet]

across the pond alfas and fiats in general are basically extinct you almost NEVER see them anymore

in the past 3 months ive maybe seen one fiat

Glad yours is still trekking though

[half igloo]

This is why I hate people on the road all that garbage just went down the drain they will never know when to slow down

[wise sonnet]

people who do this think they got it like inital D

except in inital D they had look outs

for this exact reason

[half igloo]

Yes

[ornate zealot]

Love peaceful country roads like these

[wise sonnet]

Now that's cool

[half igloo]

Fellow pickup enjoyer?

[wise sonnet]

its from a series of kenwood units called masked head units

they made them in the late 90s

[half igloo]

Wow

[wise sonnet]

I think the styling is much more 80s than 90s which is what's kinda odd about them

[ornate zealot]

Nah customers 3500 high country, just got done with new front tires and an oil change, im just test driving it to recheck the lugnuts

[wise sonnet]

not to mention late 90s and no cd

[half igloo]

Oh

[ornate zealot]

I just have a little work beater, probably getting rid of it for something else soon though

[half igloo]

Do what every other mechanic does on their free time fix and sell it for someone to deal with it

[wise sonnet]

i mean bro if you got an engine jack

[ornate zealot]

Fl strut is dying, left side of the sway bar rotted off, thermostat keeps dying, and rust as always with iowa

[wise sonnet]

the meta would be to buy up all the blown up rx8s on market place for like 1000 bux a pop and flip them for 5k

[half igloo]

I know I do

But you can't fit that engine in a car trunk only a trailer, a SUV and a pickup

[wise sonnet]

bro what you mean you can't

a rotary is smaller than your average 4 banger

[cunning vine]

Cheers mate 🤞
I'm due a new timing and aux belt already, did some on other more agricultural engines already but never done dohc v6s before. That'll be good

[half igloo]

I mean impressive if you can shove it in there without complications

[wise sonnet]

if its quad cams just get 4 pair of vibe grips and 2 clamps

or see if someone has made one of those plastic cam holders for that car

[wise sonnet]

oh well i mean maybe there not that heavy

[cunning vine]

Yeah plenty on aliex but somehow they all got cylinder 1 intake angles wrong. Best is to buy a factory cam holder kit from the early 00s but that's harder to get than the OG shadow of Chernobyl leak from the same years

[wise sonnet]

you and your buddy could lift it into your car pretty easily

if you couldn't your self

[half igloo]

Sadly the only power in my bones is my legs

[wise sonnet]

is it an interference ?

[cunning vine]

It is

[wise sonnet]

ah well probably best not to fuck about with it then

the vice grip method probably not the best hahaha

[cunning vine]

Seen people do it lmao

Their cars ran for a bit later down the line but yeah you're into your car will be written off in 2k km territory if you do the job that way

[wise sonnet]

i mean it can work assuming the grips don't ever slip

but if they do its game over so.....

[cunning vine]

Yeah but that's too many ifs then. On the hunt to source a cam holder kit anyway, will proceed with the service the moment i have it

@ornate zealot random question they say older cars that are hooked up with r12 freon just blow colder than any modern car you ever been in a car with r12?

[ornate zealot]

How old?

But r12 is slightly colder, and more efficient at cooling apparently

[marble cave]

Finally I can express my love to Subaru in this server, except offtop and mods channel

[ornate zealot]

Dont think ive ever been in a car that old with working ac or that hasn't been swapped

[wise sonnet]

damn....

I know you can still get r12 if you try hard enough

it also apparently from what ive read online is less likely to leak

[ornate zealot]

But apparently is "harmful" to the ozone

[wise sonnet]

my teacher has a 1991 nissian maxima with 45k miles on it and it still has the factory ac coolant inside

and the car sat in a barn un touched for over 20 years

[wise sonnet]

yup they are phasing out r134a now too though im sure you already knew that

[ornate zealot]

Eh not really, even my cars ac is struggling, blend door is stuck

[simple osprey]

I find it immensely funny that people will forever dog on screens on cars but no one has actually tried making a Car Stereo thats analogue yet
but loads of Screen Pi Based Car Stereos

[wise sonnet]

in my opinion the best middle ground is one of those single din fold out ones

so you can just put the screen away

when you don't want it

also i mean https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DQHn76RiKnM/?igsh=MXN6MGYyNTMzZjN0Yg==

analog stereo

[ornate zealot]

I just have a boss radio with bose speakers

[simple osprey]

https://blaupunkt.com/product/frankfurt-rcm-82-dab/

[ornate zealot]

Its an 08 impala with 210k on the clock with a 3.5l, im not getting fancy with this work beater

[simple osprey]

if I had a 3d printer I could actually try and make one

[wise sonnet]

WHERE THE AUX

[simple osprey]

in the Digital Audio Broadcasting tab

just pull it up

[wise sonnet]

[simple osprey]

[wise sonnet]

the vintage ipod crowd really living it up these days

[ornate zealot]

Eh, not really a fan, not saying it looks bad but I wouldn't buy it

[simple osprey]

it costs too much

but I could do this myself I bet, if only I had a 3d printer

[wise sonnet]

[wise sonnet]

md in this case is talking about mini disk right?

gotta admit stuff like that is insanely cool

[ornate zealot]

I'll always like Bose just because its a classic

Definitely not the best, but its been around forever

[wise sonnet]

ive yet to spend money on a car radio

both my cars i just use what it came with

on my miata its some 80 dollar pioneer

it has aux in and that works so i was like why bother replacing it

[ornate zealot]

Yeah, my current radio is from the 06 pontiac grand prix i had, which is why it doesn't really fit

[wise sonnet]

similiar story on my subaru

im 90 percent sure its suppose to have the back up camera from the factory with the screen but

the guy i bought it from i think took that unit out and used it on a WRX

cus the one it came with is just some lowest level trim unit with no features at all

looks 10 years older than the car lol

[ornate zealot]

Now that im home i can play ride 6 again, need to finish the last 2 segments of riding school to get both gold medal bikes, already got the first one

[wise sonnet]

I fucken hate jeep drivers

Bro made sure to leave a space slightly too small for 95 percent of cars

And also make the spot in front of him too small

[cunning vine]

The joke writes itself

[wise sonnet]

I know for a fact it was the jeep to cus that red car has been parked in that exact spot for like 3 weeks straight

It’s never moved

[cunning vine]

Yeah this is a worldwide occurrence lmao

Not unlike ford ranger drivers. They're 50% dui 50% pure anger driven heat seeking warheads

[wise sonnet]

100 percent accurate

[cunning vine]

Can't speak for all of them but the four i nearly had an accident with certainly were. They're also somewhat ubiquitous in dashcam accident submissions lmao

I mean, you're literally driving a car with 'anger' spelled on the grille

[wise sonnet]

In the case of the jeep it’s also like the most unreliable car on the road

[cunning vine]

You can shorten that sentence to 'it's a fiat'

https://www.facebook.com/share/183wag8ahD/

For $5k its really good, only 130k on the clock with no visible rust/dents and the interior is perfect

God i love this thing, makes work so much easier

[ornate zealot]

Found the problem, cylinder 4 has 163 misfires, within like a one minute span of me seeing it at zero then hits 163 and never goes higher again

[wise sonnet]

Do you know what makes a rx7 a savanna

[wise sonnet]

10k dollar tablet

[ornate zealot]

[ornate zealot]

Jdm branding for marketing

[wise sonnet]

Incorrect

The savanna is specifically the Japanese rx7s with the extra seats in the back

[ornate zealot]

[ornate zealot]

Oh yeah, its expensive

[wise sonnet]

not to mention you gotta pay over 1k a year to keep using it

[ornate zealot]

Yes, that is another problem

But we make like $1mil in tire sales alone a year so, I dont think we're struggling

[wise sonnet]

fucken hell

[ornate zealot]

Pro tip, never buy a Cadillac, electrical nightmares like jeep

[wise sonnet]

i mean that goes for like any german car too

[ornate zealot]

German suspension is more nightmarish

[wise sonnet]

[wise sonnet]

the worst thing on japanese cars im told are tiny toyota drum brakes

and parking brake shoes

[ornate zealot]

Drums are annoying in general

Never had less fun dealing with brakes than drum brakes

[wise sonnet]

[ornate zealot]

And ive dealt with ford parking brakes springs

[wise sonnet]

one thing i can thank modern cars for is mostly entirely getting rid of them now

Mechanical wise yes it is sure nice there's things that would be so useful that only if older vehicles have example ford did tailgate step, bed lights, tailgate door, 360 camera, 2 glove boxes, and sadly sensors useful for certain parking

[wise sonnet]

i mean you can always add that stuff to an old car

make an already great car even better ay?

[half igloo]

Assuming you can find the stuff and it fits

[wise sonnet]

i mean lets be honest here mate if its a good car like a REAL good one there will be parts to make it happen

[half igloo]

Sadly I don't see any old fords with tailgate steps and what not as funny as that would be ngl

There's a 60s F250 in the back yard next to an old house with a utility bed

[half igloo]

All you have to do it clean excess carbon is take it to the interstate and just floor it

[wise sonnet]

Can’t you just rinse the carbon end in some water

And put it back

[half igloo]

Yeah but that requires taking the exhaust down

[wise sonnet]

If your unlucky

[half igloo]

All my father recommended me was just to take it to the interstate and run that belt

[hard tide]

This bearing replacement has been the bane of my existence

Its the correct size but wont go in on one side. The passenger side went in, but this one on the driver's side won't

[ornate zealot]

Bad alignment+shit roads

[hard tide]

I tried freezing it overnight and nothing really changed

That looks rough

[ornate zealot]

It is, put rear control arms on it and trying to bring it to the alignment shop, but ofc it snowed last night so the roads are super shıtty and once it hits 25mph it tries veering into the ditch

[hard tide]

The shinier one is the newer bearing

I was having the same problem with this truck. But in my case both rear axle bearings needed to be replaced

And like everything else i do, a simple 2 hour job turns into a week long endeavor because something just HAS to go wrong for whatever reason

[half igloo]

Oof

[hard tide]

The old one wont even go back..its like it warped when i removed the old one

Lowkey dont know what else to do tbh

[ornate zealot]

That dont look right

[hard tide]

I would kill to be able to have a car lift rn

[ornate zealot]

Adjuster broke

[hard tide]

Oof

[half igloo]

I mean I am lucky to have a rotary lift

[hard tide]

Jack stands and bare ground for me😭

[ornate zealot]

Normally when changing tires I just use floor jacks, 4 jacks for 4 corners

Putting it on a lift just takes too long when nothing else is happening to it

[hard tide]

Oh yeah ofc

I had replaced this entire rear end last year, and it would've been nice to have it on a lift when i did it

[ornate zealot]

[hard tide]

You should've seen it

Had the truck on our semi truck stands, lmfao

[ornate zealot]

I've seen similar, when my dad was restoring his 81 cutlass he ended up swapping the old rear end out for a Ford 9" pumpkin

[hard tide]

This suburban has a tahoe back end now

These are next on the project list

Im definitely gonna have to take the big transmission jack out for these. Never used it before

[hard tide]

I saw a cutlass the other day, bro. It was a pretty deep blue.

Saw some kind of 50's chrysler as well. Im not too familiar with classic rides, but i do know it was a chrysler

[ornate zealot]

Some old pictures of it, he got rid of it awhile ago

Put a 454 in it before he got rid of it too

[hard tide]

Woah

I would absolutely love to work on stuff like that

All my dad buys are high maintenance sh*t boxes

And he wonders why they dont sell🫤 and i have to keep fixing them

[ornate zealot]

His most recent project sold for $43k

[hard tide]

Hell yeah

[ornate zealot]

1979 f350 dentside with a 500 stroker

And zf5 manual transmission

[hard tide]

This poor soul

All i know is that its a 60 Apache

Havent had the time nor money to restore it

[hard tide]

Everyone living my dream😔

[ornate zealot]

Im saving money for 3 things rn, triumph daytona 675r, new work beater, and a project car

[hard tide]

Im surrounded by project vehicles

But none of them are like, idk, cool projects

Just bad investments that are taking up space

[ornate zealot]

Im trying to find one not overpriced, ratted, or half finished

[hard tide]

This is about the only vehicle i want to fix. Its a 05 RX8. The windshield is completely shattered, and it needs the rotary either rebuilt or replaced

[ornate zealot]

Rx8 rotary engines are made of glass pretty much

[hard tide]

Yep

Id rather just swap it

Oh actually, i do remember something

My friend's dad wants me to work on his bmw for him and in return i get a chrysler sebring. Im not really in it for the car, but he's legitimately willing to give it to me for free. It only needs suspension work

[ornate zealot]

Careful, jack will crucifiy you if he hears that

[hard tide]

I know

[ornate zealot]

Ew, bmw/German suspension

[hard tide]

We've had the convo before😓

But not everyone has $3-6k for rebuilt an engine

[hard tide]

Ew German vehicles*

So the bmw was running PERFECT until 2 weeks ago. Canyou guess what decided to quit?

[ornate zealot]

I've never been a big German fan except for Porsche

[hard tide]

Japanese or American cars are what i prefer to work on

[ornate zealot]

With bmw? Could be anything

[hard tide]

Real

[ornate zealot]

Any year Japanese is generally ok, but older American is better than newer American

[hard tide]

Transmission sensor died or something and the car is on failsafe now

[ornate zealot]

[hard tide]

This would be the 13th fix for this stupid car

[ornate zealot]

Is it gas or diesel?

[hard tide]

Gas

Its an 03 X5

[half igloo]

One can imagine the rust that sits underneath

[hard tide]

Its on stands for that reason. Also, the floor is gone🥲

There's just a huge hole where the driver side is

Lowkey want to just scrap it, unfortunately

[ornate zealot]

Thats just the Flintstone edition

[hard tide]

Yabba dabba no engine crank

[half igloo]

Well chevy has always been the same you might find more work on new GMCs since the allison contract ended

[ornate zealot]

Everyone in my family has had project vehicles so I naturally got dragged into it

[hard tide]

10 cars/trucks and 2 semis and this nissan is the only car without issues

[half igloo]

I am amazed that nissan doesn't have issues

[ornate zealot]

Armada?

[hard tide]

Pathfinder

Close. Its just a smaller version

[ornate zealot]

Thats right, armada is a bit bigger/longer

Hell both of these belong to my uncle I work with

[hard tide]

The most "extensive" work ive done for the pathfinder was change the evap canister and purge valve

[half igloo]

My father had the one on the right for a while before he got rid of it

My uncle has a small junkyard for some of the old vehicles too

[ornate zealot]

Rally nova, unsure of the year though, probably a late 60s

[lunar bloom]

These look really nice! Can you tell me about the car on the right?

[hard tide]

Sweet nova

[ornate zealot]

Not much, ive never really paid attention/talked to him about his projects

[wise sonnet]

God does not take kindly to piston swappers

[wise sonnet]

Yes and no

The rx8 engine is a complex and in many ways retarded creature

You need to mod the car a lot to get around the design faults of the original Renesis one

Like it’s so much better in the renesis 2 in the 09 to 2012 rx8

But for this reason those cars are worth like 4x what the generation one cars are worth

Not to mention they are WAY rarer

The gen 2 also uses more oil injectors

So you can if you really wanted to give the car a dedicated oil tank

[wise sonnet]

Plus on top of all that both generations can rev past 10k rpm

You just need to pay to have the rotors balanced

[hard tide]

Look look. Its a financial decision, not a moral one😓

[half igloo]

No youngster wants to buy a car from the 50s for 40k that will last them maybe 2 years when they can take that 40k and buy a new one with enough care will last them 8 years

[wise sonnet]

A rx8 engine can be had for less than 2k

[wise sonnet]

im not talking about a car from the 50s

🤨

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/4271545396455222

my point being you can get a working 2004 or 2005 rx8 for like 2 or 3k usd

[wise sonnet]

pistons swapping a rx8 way more than just fixing the rotary

[arctic siren]

Just an 2002 clio

[marble cave]

Is that a clio

ah yes

it is, could read first

[chilly estuary]

Btw not long ago I also drove my friend's renault megane, a nice car, but the clutch in first and second gears is a bit sensitive

[arctic siren]

oh nice, i wanted a laguna, but clio came first

[wise sonnet]

Now this question is critical

IS IT A MANUAL

[arctic siren]

yes ofc

[arctic siren]

manual is standard in my country

[wise sonnet]

Across the pond it’s a dying art

We just don’t know how to have fun

[arctic siren]

ah

[marble cave]

Imagine soon there will be only a few families who can drive manual and this knowledge will go from adults to children only in those families, sort of secret knowledge

[wise sonnet]

When people tell me they don’t wanna learn it’s painful they do not know what they are missing out on

[arctic siren]

Manual is the best, but if you are an older driver and u just go on longer trips automatic is for you

[chilly estuary]

I only drove manual cars, but damn it, my city needs an automatic transmission

[wise sonnet]

WEAK

[arctic siren]

nah you are just woorking out your right arm and left leg

[chilly estuary]

Nah, i love mechanics

[arctic siren]

free workout

[polar mason]

r_wrecker has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[arctic siren]

i just drank 1l of choccy milk

[chilly estuary]

But the fact remains

[marble cave]

After being trained in my city, which is always full of people and cars, I don't fear a lot of things anymore

[arctic siren]

Legend among the drivers here

[coarse seal]

like i was saying, those are sick

[wise sonnet]

You must never put down your stick no matter what

This is the way

[marble cave]

Ideally, it would be great to get some old Ford Mustang as a second car just cause why not

[wise sonnet]

[chilly estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/mando-way-this-is-the-way-mandalorian-star-wars-gif-18467370

[arctic siren]

Look at this goofy ahh road snow came out of nowhere

im in silent hill

[marble cave]

Preferably, this kind

[wise sonnet]

I operate under the mind set of you must tolerate the lows to enjoy the incredible highs of the experience

I do it every day city driving with a 5 speed so it doesn’t really bother me anymore

[arctic siren]

I miss my car

[marble cave]

I miss having a car

[arctic siren]

its at a mechanics place, someone dented it and i cant close the trunk

[wise sonnet]

But I can appreciate that the less insane among us may not enjoy or tolerate that

[arctic siren]

[wise sonnet]

[chilly estuary]

Damn, i like it

[wise sonnet]

There’s one of these in town actually

It’s parked behind an AutoZone

[marble cave]

I mean, probably not that rare in US

[wise sonnet]

I mean kinda is

It’s a car from the 60s

[marble cave]

Not as rare as in Europe I mean

[arctic siren]

That would be a legendary find here

[wise sonnet]

Not many left after all

Though it’s fitted with an auto so

[marble cave]

it is?

[arctic siren]

just swap it with manual

[wise sonnet]

Oh yah in the 60s and 70s automatics were very popular in muscle cars

[arctic siren]

ill help

[wise sonnet]

Even though they were terrible

[marble cave]

Damn, I thought it mostly appeared much later

[arctic siren]

isnt in usa Manual are so rare

[marble cave]

But it can be changed anyway, right?

[arctic siren]

98% or so americans dont know manual

[wise sonnet]

98 percent under the age of 35

[arctic siren]

oh

[wise sonnet]

Because gotta remember automatics weren’t better till the early to mid 2010s

[chilly estuary]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1171602505382236231/1403534906482757783/4x.avif?animated=true&format=webp&width=235&height=160

[wise sonnet]

So up to that point a lot of regular cars could still be bought in manual like my car

[marble cave]

Literally me when first heard this info from Jack

[wise sonnet]

But by 2016 or so almost all of those went away

Like you need to realize bro

I’m in an automotive tech school c

[chilly estuary]

It hurts

[wise sonnet]

Most of my fellow students don’t know how to drive stick

Only me and like 2 other guys know how

That I’ve personally talked to anyway

[marble cave]

I want to join the manual cult asap

I mean, kind of joined it, but need to get a car

[wise sonnet]

I just can’t understand how you can get into this hobby and do it for a living and not own a manual

Literally a fake car fan

[arctic siren]

ong

[wise sonnet]

You just get a Japanese car with a manual and it all makes sense

[arctic siren]

Get a kei car

[wise sonnet]

You can

But 90 percent of those are manuals regardless

[arctic siren]

thats the point

we arent sissy boys

elite ball knowledge

[wise sonnet]

If I had to get a truck probably will someday

I want the most impractical truck of all time

[arctic siren]

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-monolith-сталкер-монолит-моноліт-gif-2897425510303898959

[chilly estuary]

Yeaah, we just need a car…

[wise sonnet]

Not the type your thinking of

[arctic siren]

what kind then

[arctic siren]

wait is that a cheez it with a millatary helmet

[marble cave]

When I still was in Ukraine me and bois were thinking about an old-ass truck which has sauna in it

[arctic siren]

Thought you meant lorries

[wise sonnet]

Nah it’s the Mazda rotary pick up

[arctic siren]

looks cool

slam the thing and put 2 turbos through the hood

[marble cave]

Imagine traveling somewhere with friends, and just chill in sauna, change the driver from time to time

[arctic siren]

and u got a monster drift machine

[marble cave]

fr

Old Mazda badge

Like the cosmo

But what is this one

[arctic siren]

ball knowledge

[wise sonnet]

Yah rotary logo

[marble cave]

Looks not bad tbh

[arctic siren]

i wanna get a old car with pop ups, i love those things

[marble cave]

Lotus Elan vibes

[marble cave]

Literally Jack

[arctic siren]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-patrick-star-jolly-happy-rainbow-and-sunshine-gif-11154688262827409004

[marble cave]

But anyway, who wouldn't like to have one?

[arctic siren]

me when pop-up headlights

[wise sonnet]

Yes

Pop ups are rad

[arctic siren]

but european or japanese, idk if theres any americans one but i dont want those

[wise sonnet]

Uh bro

The corvette

[arctic siren]

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh FINE

[wise sonnet]

C3 c4 and c5

Fucken zr1

[arctic siren]

american too

[wise sonnet]

Mf zr1 is rad as fuck

I generally hate American cars but even I would own a zr1

[arctic siren]

oooh i want to own a shelby or corvetes

[marble cave]

90s American cars, especially colabs with Japanese or something

And yeah

Corvette

[wise sonnet]

Ford probe

[marble cave]

you

It was my phrase

[wise sonnet]

Ford probe is just a way cooler mx6

[marble cave]

I was going to say that

[wise sonnet]

It’s a ford with out the annoying being a ford part

[arctic siren]

dream car: Audi RS6 station wagon 2014

[marble cave]

Acura NSX

Technically american

[arctic siren]

Lexus LFA in my top 5

[marble cave]

And it is like super expensive

[wise sonnet]

How

🤨

[marble cave]

Acura is american, no?

[wise sonnet]

No

Acura is Honda

[marble cave]

But in US

[wise sonnet]

I mean technically?

Nsx was sold as a Honda else where

[marble cave]

Yeah, and they name it Honda NSX

[wise sonnet]

Same exact car

Just different badge

[arctic siren]

its only acura in north america

[wise sonnet]

Also the LFA is mid

Sorry I gotta say it

Car was mid

[marble cave]

Yeah, that's the thing, I was just trying to joke

[arctic siren]

nah its okay xd

[marble cave]

Cause like Acura and Honda are the same, but different by name

And we were naming american cars with pop-up headlights

[wise sonnet]

Gear box ruined it

Pontiac’s had them

A good few General Motors cars had em

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_vehicles_with_hidden_headlamps

[marble cave]

And since we mentioned Lexus

Which you would say are most interesting models

Cause when I think about it

[wise sonnet]

The ls 400 cus it’s super reliable

[marble cave]

It is different from other japanese cars

[wise sonnet]

Idc much for luxury cars

[marble cave]

Just not sure what do I even know about it

Mostly only lfa

[wise sonnet]

Lexus just made reliable cars

That was primarily the claim to fame

Performance and reliability

[arctic siren]

my top 5 cars tbh that i want to own

1.Audi RS6 station wagon 2014
2.Mercedes 190 E (Evolution 2 if possible)
3. BMW M5 E39 (2000)
4. Lexus LFA
5. Honda civic Type R

realistic? no not 1% i own one of these

realistic Audi A8 or S8 if im being realistic

[wise sonnet]

1. Fd rx7 1999-2002
2. 2007 wrx sti
3. Nsx
4. Zr1 gen 1
5. Mx5

Mx5 doesn’t really count I got one already

[arctic siren]

mx5 with popup?

https://tenor.com/view/miata-wink-gif-5311718

[wise sonnet]

Well yah

[arctic siren]

how is it to drive one ?

[wise sonnet]

Incredible

Even though mine was totally clapped

And now doesn’t run

[arctic siren]

bruh when i got the clio i had to work on it too its normal, and i get experience :D

and im only 17

[wise sonnet]

I still plan to fix it

That was my first car

[arctic siren]

doing this alone btw ( mom only bought it )

550 euro

its like 500 usd or smth

[wise sonnet]

And once I’m done I’ll save up enough to buy my Miata it’s big brother

[arctic siren]

rx7 :D

[wise sonnet]

The greatest car ever made

[arctic siren]

https://tenor.com/view/keisuke-fd3s-fd-rx7-mazda-gif-26040416

based anime

[wise sonnet]

Not for the anime

[arctic siren]

I know, still based anime

[wise sonnet]

The anime isn’t why I want one though it’s cool

[arctic siren]

alright broski, gonna load up asseto corsa and do a hillclimb map with a mx5 xD

my frist time was 18 minutes now its 15

im getting better.

[wise sonnet]

Miata doesn’t do well up hill not with out its best friend

The efr 6258

[arctic siren]

its the closest thing for power/weight to my clio, i dont have the premium cars

its like driving my clio

[wise sonnet]

The Miata is just a pure driving experience

[arctic siren]

and i dont like the more powerful cars i drive with mouse steering and keyboard

[wise sonnet]

It’s a car made by true enthusiasts with none of the modern car slop that often drags down modern attempts at such cars

Cable throttle 5 speed manual gearbox lsd front engine rwd

High rpm redline

[chilly estuary]

I’m trying to beat my record time at the Nordschleife in ACC
Now it’s 8:30 but it’s still weak

[wise sonnet]

People keep telling me to get the sim gear

[ornate zealot]

Eh, I kinda want a wheel, but controller is just more convenient

[wise sonnet]

It’s boring is what it is

[chilly estuary]

But the emotions are better at the wheel

[marble cave]

You can just add some random Imprezas and rx-7 and/or miata on places from 2 to 5 for me

Impreza 2nd gen is my fav

The blob eye

[wise sonnet]

2nd gen is bug eye

Blob eye is 3rd gen

Bug eye is ugo

[chilly estuary]

I play on controller with a gyro, but it doesn’t give me the same thrill as a steering wheel

[ornate zealot]

What i really want is one of those motorcycle sim sets

[wise sonnet]

I just feel a wheel gives me way more control

Like keyboard or controller can’t properly replicate the level of control

[ornate zealot]

Obviously

[wise sonnet]

It annoys me

[ornate zealot]

Eh, honestly doesn't bother me

[wise sonnet]

Like I’m trying to shoot a gun with my feet

[ornate zealot]

I grew up playing horizon 1 and motorsport 4 on 360 with the 360 controller

[wise sonnet]

Like drifting for example idk I just can’t get it on controller

[ornate zealot]

And twisted metal on ps2

[chilly estuary]

I agree completely. I raced in rally at a car simulation club

[ornate zealot]

Along with some midnight club games, mostly los angeles

[ornate zealot]

Its hard for me, its just about control, fine movements and all that

[wise sonnet]

Yah that’s what annoys me

With a wheel I’d have exact control with a stick it’s like playing shooters on stick vs keyboard

[half igloo]

It was an example

[wise sonnet]

I mean I guess but rotaries aren’t inherently unreliable or expensive

They just have a rigorous maintenance schedule

[half igloo]

I guess

Now unless we're talking international engines I am sure it would be a different story

[wise sonnet]

Like they just kinda work perfect till they die

Due to how simple they are

[ornate zealot]

Feels nice to get out of work early

[marble cave]

In my head it was kinda different

Like old impreza till 2000

And new ones starting 2000

[ornate zealot]

Unfortunate little nissan

[wise sonnet]

Average Nissan

[ornate zealot]

[wise sonnet]

see some 2001 gtr eye Subarus exist

So it’s like mid 2001 till 2003

For bug eyes

[ornate zealot]

This road is still packed snow and ice from this morning

[wise sonnet]

I love snow

[marble cave]

I mean, those two are different in my head, so I just take them as two different Imprezas cause of their look

[ornate zealot]

They dump tons of sand/salt everywhere but this 15 mile stretch

[marble cave]

Then I take the bug eye and mark it as 1st gen, so blob is 2nd and hawk is 3rd

All in my head

https://tenor.com/view/scar-stalker-pibb-xtra-clear-sky-gif-14605512341377138525

[marble cave]

Cause all of them look almost the same, except the headlights

But yeah, I agree, need to name them right

[wise sonnet]

Is your car coated?

[wise sonnet]

There are mortal stis and ascended stis

[ornate zealot]

Its a 200k mile 08 impala in iowa, what do you think

[wise sonnet]

Gen1 Impreza is just too peakc

[wise sonnet]

I’d say probably it is

[ornate zealot]

Wrong

[wise sonnet]

[marble cave]

all of them being peak, till 2008

[wise sonnet]

2007*

Hawk eye only goes till 2007

[ornate zealot]

Didn't coat them from factory and 2 woman owned it before me

[marble cave]

Not including 2007?

[wise sonnet]

It does

[marble cave]

so 2008

[wise sonnet]

2008 you got quad can vvt but reliability went out the window

And they made the car super ugly

[wise sonnet]

Rip

[marble cave]

so until 2008, cause in 2007 we still had hawk eye

Damn, hope I can see the ressurection of old car styles someday

[wise sonnet]

If you build your own engine probably worth getting the quad cam vvt though

[marble cave]

Cause most of new cars are just the same

[ornate zealot]

GM doesn't rust coat shit from factory, even now im pretty sure

[marble cave]

Can't say if it is Nissan or Ford or something

Well, maybe I can, but some are really the same

[wise sonnet]

My teacher has a Nissan maxima which still has the oem rust coating on it

From the dealer in 1991

[ornate zealot]

Yeah gm doesn't do that, which is why its hard to find a rust free car from them

[wise sonnet]

Not even the vet?

Well most vet owners would never drive in salt

So I guess you wouldn’t worry about it

[ornate zealot]

Exactly

[wise sonnet]

Cool cars aren’t ever coming back

[ornate zealot]

Well there is one actually with a 2017 that put a snowplow on front of it

[marble cave]

it's so over

[wise sonnet]

Except the gr gt that car is admittedly pretty cool

[marble cave]

but hope never dies

[wise sonnet]

But it’s a hybrid so

[wise sonnet]

I mean not rust coating a car like that would be insane

[ornate zealot]

Not rust coating a truck is also crazy but they still dont

[wise sonnet]

Some of the trucks people drive around here are crazy

Things will look like one hammer swing and it would fall to pieces

[ornate zealot]

Trust me, I've seen Bluetooth frames galore

Even one with the leaf mount so rotted it kicked up into the floor of the bed

[wise sonnet]

When you put the frame
Up on the lift and the force of doing it causes the body and frame to separate

[wise sonnet]

Mfs will literally drive cars into dust which I don’t understand

[ornate zealot]

Like the roll of the end of the leaf punched up through the bed and sat there

[wise sonnet]

[ornate zealot]

You see the video I sent earlier of that car with shit alignment after putting rear control arms on and finding a broken adjuster

[marble cave]

Why does it look like they decided to breed Forester with Outback and name it Impreza

And make it hatch ofc

[ornate zealot]

I was thinking more pt cruiser

[wise sonnet]

Yah it’s got pt cruiser energy

[marble cave]

just a bit

[ornate zealot]

At 25mph this thing was trying to kill me and dump me in the ditch

[marble cave]

A lot of roads like that in Ukraine, and it is kinda sad that it looks normal to me

[wise sonnet]

Just come to Massachusetts bro all our roads like that

Getting the state to pave roads is almost impossible

They won’t do it often till it literally is so hazardous they have no choice

[mossy patio]

@crimson ore here’s the lawnmower

and here’s what’s left of my ninja

[ornate zealot]

The ninja a 90s? Im not the best guessing bike years

Im guessing 90s or early 2000s

[hard tide]

I think purchasing a broken down motorcycle and learning how to fix them seems fun

[lunar bloom]

He doesn't look so soild anymore

[ornate zealot]

Tap to see the meme - https://ifunny.co/video/oa0AWGY7D?s=u

Utility bed

[ornate zealot]

Too bad its attached to a ram

[half igloo]

Beds are detachable

[ornate zealot]

[half igloo]

Yeah if you want that bed you could always pull up a youtube video a vehicle is nuts and bolts at the end of the day

[ornate zealot]

Maybe a little bit of rust, and blood if unlucky

[half igloo]

You just have to keep in mind in set bed since if my eyes are correct that's a long bed

[mossy patio]

‘06 actually

[ornate zealot]

I figured it was either late 90s or early 2000s

[mossy patio]

Yeah it was an awesome bike to start on

i so wish

i had money for this

this guy is worth fixing up

[ornate zealot]

Its more so the first buyer backing out that raises a red flag for me

[wise sonnet]

true its got a lot of issues looks like

but the whole cars there so i mean

[ornate zealot]

I personally dont know if its worth $20k

[wise sonnet]

you forget man the caliber of car your buying

its not like the good ol days where you could get one for almost nothing

hell 10 12 years ago people would just give em away

now everyone's got the rotary fever

[ornate zealot]

Still, I feel like i could find/build something better for $20k

[wise sonnet]

yes and no

i mean hell the zr1 i posted earlier same money more hp

[ornate zealot]

Less money and its built, that costs $2k extra im pretty sure and still needs work

[wise sonnet]

yah i mean rx7 works too but well

[ornate zealot]

I get liking a certain thing, but sometimes it can blind you into a bad trap

[wise sonnet]

im late to the game some would say too late gotta pay the JDM tax now

and then the rotary tax on top of that

You gotta really want it now

[ornate zealot]

And i really want an old muscle car, but even i know when something is a money pit/nightmare

[wise sonnet]

if you ever find your self in the having of a lot of money i know just the person for you to talk to

a lot of money being north of 200k dollars

but she'll get you a true show car

[ornate zealot]

Better be something with under 10k miles air sealed in a warehouse for over $200k, or some kind of supercar

[wise sonnet]

oh it is bro

shes done cars for royalty

and i do mean that completely literally

[ornate zealot]

Eh, I'd rather do something myself, gives it a bit more connection

Having someone else build a car for you feels like cheating if you can/know how to do it yourself

[wise sonnet]

she normally does 1 of 1 type stuff but shes been known to do more common stuff sometimes

but i get it i mean trouble is right

once the cars all done up like that you don't wanna drive it anymore

[ornate zealot]

Yeah, making it perfect just ruins the want to drive it because it builds that fear of something happening to it

[wise sonnet]

cars can be nice but they can't be perfect perfect

[ornate zealot]

I see it first hand with my dad and uncles projects they've worked on, my dad leaves them in the garage and drives them only when he needs to work on them or go to a car show, and my uncle prefers to drive the ratted nova instead of his clean chevelle

[wise sonnet]

gotta have maybe a stain on the seat or perhaps some wear on the paint near lower fenders

[wise sonnet]

yah i mean trick is gotta be a cheap nice car

or a well driven more expensive car

[ornate zealot]

And ive showed you his truck he sold, that thing would always be in the garage unless necessary

Especially after he put the 500 in it for the 427, he really wouldn't take it anywhere anymore

[wise sonnet]

is a shame

all great cars are meant to be driven

you put so much effort into it only to never drive it

People have been ls swapping Japanese cars since the dawn of time

[wise sonnet]

doesn't make it better

though its a nissan so i don't really feel the need to shed a tear

[ornate zealot]

Nissan is a big target for ls swaps, probably THE biggest

Lot of ls swapped formula drift cars

[wise sonnet]

yah i mean if its not got an RB engine

why bother keeping the original

[ornate zealot]

Look at this monster

[ornate zealot]

It lurks, waiting to snatch a mechanics wallet

[ornate zealot]

Going on a trip in our favorite pos

[half igloo]

That's an upgrade than what fedex has they got F250s XLs

[half igloo]

More like making one finance 5 dollar a day for a toolbox and some swag

[cyan yoke]

Where's the Fiat Multipla?

[wise sonnet]

It’s ready to shake you down for 50 bux

[ornate zealot]

The truck is a decommissioned ambulance some farmer slapped a flatbed on and now every bump shoves the seat up your back and tries snapping your spine

[half igloo]

Suspension either got replaced with a solid one or seat alignment is dislocated

[ornate zealot]

Nissan s cargo is worse

[cyan yoke]

oh, the Nissan "Escargot"

at least that one was made ugly on purpose

[polar mason]

monkeyman34449 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[wise sonnet]

You said the forbidden key phrase

[ornate zealot]

Oh, 50

Keep forgetting that since they just use screenshots anyway

[ornate zealot]

More like 50 a week for the next year for a wrench

There, can stfu wolf

[wise sonnet]

Yes

[ornate zealot]

Only 10 levels away from gif perms apparently

[wise sonnet]

I have faith in you

[ornate zealot]

This thing looks all sorts of wrong

SsangYong Rodius

Actually insane deal

[ornate zealot]

The atrocious widebody/wheelbase combination is a big no for me

[wise sonnet]

that wide body might be factory actually im not sure

[ornate zealot]

Highly doubt it with the hood and wing

[wise sonnet]

if it was the 6 port

it would say worth

but im not sure if it is or not

[hard tide]

Today is the flipping day

I get done with this truck

What should have been the quickest 2 hour job...

[ornate zealot]

Always goes like that, nothing can ever be easy

[ornate zealot]

Pretty sure you can just look up the length online

Apparently most take 80mm

[wise sonnet]

Tbf he’s probably wanting to know the thread

[ornate zealot]

Right

[hard tide]

I read that wrong ig

[ornate zealot]

Yeah, I read it weird at first too

[hard tide]

It didnt fall apart

[wise sonnet]

Built ford tuff

[hard tide]

'Tis a Chevrolet

[half igloo]

As the chevy logo is there for the carpet cover

[hard tide]

The only ford at my house is currently needing the tranny replaced or rebuilt

[ornate zealot]

Shocker, a Ford with a shit transmission

[atomic moat]

vroom vroom

[half igloo]

At least the transmissions are easier to pull out than a Nissan

I hate cars since most of the them you're taking down a sub frame and it's painful if you don't have a 2 stage transmission jack to push it back up

[wise sonnet]

@ornate zealot just got word my snap on tools are ready for pick up at the UPS pick up location

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2109060346611560

i love how this rx3 looks so great except the hood which is covered in rust holes

[ornate zealot]

The door is fụcked too

[hard tide]

Funny story. Ive only recently just got a transmission jack. I took the ford one out by basically bench pressing it🫠

Pretty sure you'd like to work on this one

[ornate zealot]

Putting gas in a car with a fụcked fuel fill is torture, takes forever and you have to barely squeeze the handle or it'll fill too fast and trigger the stop

[wise sonnet]

[ornate zealot]

Mmm, chocolate milk

Fụck me, its like all the seals on the back of this thing just decided to commit sewerslide

[wise sonnet]

Fuck

[wise sonnet]

I just realized that rotor looks warped

[ornate zealot]

Getting replaced anyway

[wise sonnet]

That looks like it’s sat in a field for like 20 years

[half igloo]

WHY DO PEOPLE NOT RINSE THE UNDER SIDE

[ornate zealot]

It hasn't though, its an iowan farmers truck

At least I think its a farmers truck

[wise sonnet]

So technically it has sat in a field for 20 years

[ornate zealot]

Most likely, or got devoured by salt/sand

[hard tide]

Water?

[ornate zealot]

Yes

[vapid spade]

The best car in the world

[ornate zealot]

Tf is that, why is it familiar?

[half igloo]

Looks like a Lexus judging the logo but the angle sucks balls

It also doesn't help since the picture is also 440p

[hard tide]

Thats a Daewoo
