Does anybody on here how to lower a car in photoshop?
If you do, could you please do this Audi?
Many thanks in advance. :)
btw: I'm looking to cut the wheel gap in half. :)
low enough?
>>14858928
If possible, could you get the arch just above the tire? Thanks :)

Don't do it.
itt: autistic things you used to believe about cars
When I was a teenager I thought that turbos work like a windmill, generating power by the turbine spinning around
I thought that exterior modifications could somehow only be done when the power was increased via FI. Like the black badges came with the FI kits and that was the only way to get them or something.
I thought that FWD cars were shit and couldn't be fun.
I thought that horsepower was the only determination of whether a car was cool or not.
front wheel drive is like mongo pushing
not really, its more like rwd
pushing mongo is fucking STUPID though
>>14857075
only actual pros can pull it off?
>>14857088
but all your power comes from the front foot

Whats the advantage compared to rubber?
>>14856243
>not using hemp
>>14856259
the cork is rubberised
only advantage is it perishes a little slower than rubber alone

Hey /o/,
I have 16k saved up to spend on a car. It can be used as a down payment or I can buy something used. This will actually be my first car, as I've been relying on borrowing my parents' cars, public transportation, and my gf picks me up from work. I make 45k a year right now, but I don't really want to have to make payments on a depreciating asset.
The thing is, I'm 25 and I've waited a really, really, long time to finally be able to buy something I want. I've always wanted a LS-swapped S13, since it's 350HP+ in a 2700 pound...

Eww. Just get a Corvette you nignog.
I've got a problem /o/. My dad has had this firebird for 2 years and he is letting it rot in the grass and keeps procrastinating. I doubt he'll get it fixed so I want to. It cranks over but won't start. I've jumped the battery and use starter spray. Still won't crank over. Any ideas what would cause this?
>>14855324
Check fuel/air filters, spark plugs
What happens when you try to start it exactly? Sounds, vibrations, etc, be very specific.
>>14855348
Cranking like almost to start but never catches. Also backfires bad if using starter fluid
how do I get into cars and how they work?
Get in by opening the door and they work by exploding.

by not browsing /o/, that's a good start.
Alright Carolina-fags, I've seen plenty of other regions organizing a meet, why haven't we yet? How many of you are even on here? I was thinking somewhere around Pilot Mountain is a solid place to find some fun roads and should be day-trip able for most parts of the state.
Durham here. I'm down for a meet.
Chances are we'd have better luck near the Triangle or Charlotte, but obviously better roads live out West.
>>14846632
Raleigh here, yeah Charlotte or the Triangle or the Triad would be good, but we'd have to find a pretty sweet cruising route.
Alternatively we could meet at a backwoods bbq shack in the middle of nowhere and cruise out from there.
Come on raise (this thread) up!
Must be: Australia Vic P plate legal, Manual, Max $8000 Australian dollars, Abs and air bags(cause of mum) and most importantly must be fucking fun to drive
Preferably: Japanese
>$8000 for a first car
God damn your parents are dumb cunts.
thats the max, i've saved like 5k but I can wait. I'm just keeping my options open
Which japanese car is closest to being a 911?
by this i mean:
>remained relatively unchanged in recipe over many different generations
>many high dollar modified versions or restomod versions being made
>large aftermarket with well made parts
>can be driven both daily and on track without breaking, even when modified
>rabid fanbase that goes beyond just stance and dynoqueens, actually tracks the car
>>14857024
miata?
>>14857024
The RX-7, maybe? Or the GTR?
The expensive performance cars the Japanese make don't typically last as long as the 911 without major changes.
>>14857024
Everyone is going to say Nissan Z cars.
The reality is that such a car does not exist.
I can afford either, so which is best for my 87 t top mustang?
Oops pic is upsidedown
>>14856771
turbo
Turbo would be more special snowflake.
What is the most automatic fun car for less than 8k?
I was looking at a golf gti or something
Manual slushbox mode is necessary
I was going to get a mr2 or 240 manual but I am currently living in SF and it is hell to drive one here (trust me I made that mistake).
>>14856557
IS300? Pretty sure they all have clutchless "manual" mode
>>14856564
That's pretty sweet actually, plus that 2JZ
>>14856557
if you want a lighter car than suggested above, protege 5, can be found in both manual and auto
>t. protege 5 owner
Why the fuck does my car ad keep getting deleted?
First I posted it with all caps + link to an Autocheck report
Then I tried it without an all caps title
Then I tried it without an all caps title band without a link to the report
WHAT THE FUCK
I'll copy and paste my text
>>14856297
only selling because I need to go to college
Enrolling to become an RN, need to sell BMW to accommodate living cost
I have paid for a FULL vin history check. Will show you that it's been regularly maintained every year since debut.

>tfw can't park at all
>especially perpendicular parking, which is most common here
>always afraid of hitting another car
>read guides online, most tell to find a marker, but never can seem to find one that works
how do i improve?
in the pic, the bumper of the car that's entering the spot is crossing into the adjacent spot. is this normal?
Yes thats normal.
Learn your car and parking wont be hard. I drive a boat and can park in tight spots without worrying and get it first try in one smooth motion because I know where the end of my car is relative to the cars parked on either side of me.
just git gud faggot
>>14856250
thanks
i tried going to an empty parking lot to practice, but i didn't know if i was doing it right. always feel like if there were cars, I would hit one.
>>14856353
Set up cones, or trashcans. Mark out a spot. Figure out where where you car is.
