Curious to know what is shitty in an R33 GT-R. It's obviously not that fast as a 350 HP AWD but I'm curious to know what is actually wrong with it.
Pic unrelated.
Failed to live up to the legacy of its predecessor and was overshadowed by its successor. It's a strange in-between generation that while there wasn't anything particularly wrong with it, failed to meet the lofty expectations people had.
I don't like the rear lights

In what way? Can /o/ for once not spout complete bullshit?
I like the Evo VIII, IX and X but I can't decide which one I want the most.
So /o/ which Evo is best Evo?

What could possibly go wrong?

Going to buy a NA sw20.
Things to look out for? purchasing tips?
>>15152555
I would just save up and buy a turbo. I used to have the NA version of a car and was sad and had to go buy the turbo. After that I decided to just only buy the top trim of any car. Unless you're specifically looking for an NA.
>>15152555
Buy a NA one and swap a 2GR in it, that's what I would do. 280 hp naturally aspirated, and 100 lbs lighter than the 3SGTE

Where am I supposed to practice safely?
Find another parking lot or find some back roads that don't have any traffic. I doubt every parking lot will have a rent-a-cop.
>>15152443
On the road you mongoloid.
Why the fuck are you even allowed to drive a manual if you passed you're test in an auto?
Faget
A different empty parking lot maybe? Is there not a single parking lot without mall cops guarding it?
Why does nobody about this gem /o/?

i dont think america ever got them.
lack of decent performance versions. (there are only a couple and theyre rare)
honestly the Legnum TT was better and i know america didnt get that one.

what is it exactly about these cars that makes them head straight for the nearest solid object when you press the gas?
Anything American made is designed for drag racing and that's it

none of these even go straight though

Okay /o/ I require your advice.
Looking at Chevy's numbers with respect to the Vortech 5300 LM7.
Chevy says that the engine at the crank should be making 285 hp (213 kW) and 325 lb·ft (441 N·m). I am currently making 252 hp (187 kW) and 276 lb-ft (374 N-m) at the wheel.
I don't think I should be losing more than 30 hp in transmission loss for 4L60E into RWD right?
The other issue is the AFR at WoT is 15.6. Is that too much?
The engine is bone stock save for the heads, intake and exhaust which is 2.5 inch with a cat delete.

Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>15152262
252 at the wheels seems fine for that
>>15152276
The main issue that I cant quite get over is the AFR. Is that something I can fix with a tune?
Or am I going to need to purchase new bigger injectors and a fuel pump to get more punch out of this?
252rwhp is about right.
a LS6 cam is a 39Hp gain in a 5.3 with a stock tune.
sup /o/?
Got this in the mail today, anyone else gonna get some wrench time or work on their car/project this weekend?

Post any features your car has that others may not know because they didn't read their fucking owner's manuals (or perhaps you have read it, but missed something).
It has to be a factory feature and not something aftermarket.
I'm not sure about older Honda Accords, since the model I have received upgrades before the facelift, but my 2005 LX has the ability to have all windows roll down remotely - press the unlock button once and then press it again, but hold it; you can also do this on the door, by turning and holding the key (counter)clockwise.
>>15151700
I'm assuming the main reason for that feature is for convince on a hot day.
>>15151734
Or if you're a dumbfuck parent who left your kid in the car, having the windows rolled down remotely could save the kid's life in time, instead of racing all the way back to the car.
But then that will leave the kid vulnerable to kidnappers.

Disable the seat belt chime in Ford trucks by some combination of turning key, turning lights on and off and clicking/ unclicking seatbelt. Searbelt light will flash 3 times and then the chime will be deactivated until you re-activate it.
So now that GM fixed the Oil overheating issues, is the C7Z a good car now?
>potential disguised shitposting thread
Yes, it comes down to personal tastes in terms of looks.
I will say that the interior is worse than other cars relative to price. But if you don't mind that then it's a fine car.

The wife and I are struggling financially. If I could pay my car off, that would help so much! That's not for three or four years, so I'm going to sell my car, and just buy a $5k car if possible (I can always buy a sportier car with cash in the future). Does that mean I have to give up a sporty ride? What I want and need are very different things. If I could get a sporty sedan that gets good MPG, that would be rad, but I realize beggars can't be choosers.
>>15151421
What car? Trim level too. How much do you owe?
>>15151433
I owe 20k on a car that's worth 13k. Genesis.

Getting this shit box next week, going to cut from pillars down to make a convertible, straight pipe and spray paint. You fags can't find a better car
>>15151419
Shitboxes are loved by /o/. We like to say they have character. We beat them to hell, and they somehow still go another 50k miles. When brand new with 4 miles on the odometer, we smugly donned these vehicles "econoboxes". But they matured, such as a fine wine does. They surived to 300k miles with minimal repairs. Just like a soldier earns the Purple Heart, our "econoboxes" earned their reputation as the "shitbox". There are a few cars that will always be known as great little shitboxes:...

Are you going to do anything to stiffen it beforehand? You don't want it to get all floppy after you hack the roof off...
>>15151419
Why not just buy the convertible? Also I wouldn't be surprised if the car just splits in half.
