Ford literally run by autists.
even a retard wouldnt put a v6 in the ford GT
>>15143554
Autists don't like change, so you're right, they wouldn't make such a radical decision.
>>15143536
In this case "autism" is just the new word for "nerdy", as in people who are hyper-focused on mechanical minutiae and have no social skills.
They're not giving classes to your full-on diaper wearing plate spinners.
Who wants to see a bunch of pics I took of vehicles
I really want to see these images.
Should i be worried /o/? There's some forming inside my right exhaust and i don't know how bad this is.
Also, how can i clean it out? Should o spray some paint inside?
Plz help.
>>15143444
>spray some paint inside?
You'll get a much more even coating if you spray it into the air intake.
>>15143457
I've heard a 30/70 mix of household paint and gasoline when you fill up does the trick.
>>15143457
But I don't want to be a ricer.
VTEC just kicked in, yo. Good thing you have a song set up to play when it kicks in so you are extra cool.
What song is it?

Holy shit /o/ why didn't you tell me that those little fwd small-engined light shitboxes like pic related can be so fun to drive?
It's so cheap I'm literally gonna get one to just beat it around.
>>15142609
> Independent suspension
> Next to no weight
> Surprisingly powerful engine
> No overhangs
They even have a mk3 Fiesta race formula. Those things are inanely good for just throwing around, and you can even get them sideways with a little effort.
I used to drive my mother's one, and it was fucking crazy on the right roads. I'd have bought my own if I didn't get cramps...

I only drove the 1.25 liter 16v variant which has like 75 horsepower. Not exactly the most powerful engine but fuck me is this little bastard nible thanks to the low weight. And it eats little to no fuel with an engine this small.
Wish I could drive something like a Peugeot 106 with a better engine.
>>15142684
the saxo cup is amazing, 120 hp for a car that weigths ±900 kg is total fun
all right friends heres the deal, i really want a shitbox, you know one that you can fuck up in any way possible and no one cares.
my fucking parents literally forced me to spend my money to buy a more expensive car that they paid the other half of. THIS IS NOT what i want. i wanted it to be MY car, paid by MY OWN money.
also post your own shitbox story heer
So what are you gonna do about it faggot? Stop paying for it and get it repod. Or if it's paid in full, just rek it and use insurance to buy a hunk of shit.
Can you handle it?
>>15142445
>i wanted it to be MY car, paid by MY OWN money.
uh man if you're name is on the title it's your fucking car, if your name's not on the title it ain't your car
it really is that simple
Here is a list of all the vehicles I have owned throughout my life. It begins in 1985 when I first got my DL. What you got?

What does /o/ think about third gen Camaro?
ugly
slow
cant turn
your typical burgermobile
Built 350s are objectively not show
Beauty is subjective
But no they can't turn so good without a lot of expensive modern aftermarket upgrades
1le packaged cars are god tier
Hey /o/ any ideas for a license plate?

Why do you hate a man that reviews cars in a well way?
You guys
I can get this Hyundai for $16000.
Would this be an upgrade over my Eclipse Mk4?
You could buy a WRX for $16k
>>15142264
You could buy alot better cars than the WRX for 16000$

Hey /o/, I bought a set of brand new tires on eBay for about $250 with free shipping. They're Delinte DH2 tires from some Chinese brand that seems to have good reviews. Haven't installed them yet.
Has anyone here had experience with Chinese tires? Should I go ahead and start finishing my will or will they work for a few years?
It seems like most "American" brand tires are foreign made anyways, so it shouldn't be too big of a deal, right?
>>15142142
"foreign made" doesn't imply chinese senpai. Even shit tier pirrelis are made in brasil. Chinese tires are universally shit, and you should probably budget a bit more for the most important part of your car.
Chinese tires are good if you're either gonna:
>use them for burnouts (it would be cheaper to buy used tires but w/e)
>can't afford anything else
>drive somewhere with little to no rain, well...

They're probably the worst of the worst rejects of the good brands. I'd personally spend more for some acceptable tires.
>>15142142
a quick google search shows you can get a whole set for $164
had a blown head gasket in k20 z3 2007 civic si , went to jjs motorsports in San Antonio for replacement. Max Ramos he recommended head studs and gasket and shaving head. got it back and to my dismay I found out in under 60 mi that I had another blown head, took it to my friend whos a wiz with motors. discovered it had a 87 mm head gasket and the piston is 86mm. studs weren't torqued down, striped water jacket, didn't put vtech gasket in vtech cyclinoid without a screen. also found timing issues on intake sound were off two teeth, exhaust and crank were on. my buddy...

Take them to court breh.
Im sure that as soon as the threat of litigation goes from being that to being a reality, they will fold and refund you.
Also if you paid with a credit card, you might even be able to get away with just disputing the charges, credit cards tend to heavily favor the consumers vs businesses. You dont need the business owner's permission to do any of this

Fuck off you troll hondas are realible you're making shit up you just fucked up and ran out of coolant you bitch
Looking for a small/ compact SUV with safety
Looking at the subaru outback limited 2.5i with eyesight + nav
also thinking about the acura RDX with acurawatch + tech + backup sensors
I drive about 7,500 miles a year, the collision mittagation + the other safety stuff is what I am looking for and having a nav is a major plus.
what other cars should I look at, and your thoughts on subaru va acura

>buying crossover
Are you a woman?
Gtfo normie.
>>15141993
NA Subarus are tanks. You can't really go wrong with the Outback. You can get a base Outback 3.6R for around the same price as a loaded 2.5i limited, though. I'd rather have the extra power over eyesight and navigation.
>>15142568
The Outback is more of a lifted wagon than a crossover.
If you were in charge of Scion, what would you have done differently?
>>15141906
Killed it sooner
aren't they doing well? I see a lot of scions on the road
The entire idea of it was stupid from the beginning.
>Designed as an extension of Toyota's efforts to appeal towards younger customers
The only thing young people drive is 300+ hp RACIN DRIFTAN RWD ANIMU cars or cheap ass 10 year old shitboxes.
So I would've given it a better logo and just made it the DRIFTAN line of toyota cars.
