>The United States Of Safety Warnings
When was the first year cars had to display this phrase anyway?
You could seriously honestly probably just Google this but now you have me wondering about the origins of this certain "safety feature"
>>14729620
Not all cars have them. My mirrors on my 2001 shitbox don't have them and they don't seem to make things look further away. Never reall thought about it desu.
>>14729631

I'm gonna try and find an answer. I'll come back with it ready haha
What does /o/ think of the Honda Del Sol?
you mean gay sol
It's a car.
2 bricks with a playing card
Pic related.(prob not the first to think of this) I was just thinking... A good exhaust system helps the engine "breathe" better, thus, "better performance". However, do you think that a good exhaust system could be pointless for any performance gain unless you upgrade your air intake as well? Lemme explain: better exhaust obviously means that the exhaust stroke pushes out all the smoke and fumes and fuel easier and faster. Stock air intake will obviously still be able to mix in a little more air than normal, but, I feel like maybe upgrading your intake too...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Completely depends on the car. 95% of the time exhaust upgrade systems are for sound.
If not a turbo, I would expect any cat back system to have near zero performance benefits assuming the car is not the cheapest of ecoboboxes.
While stock exhausts are usually restricted to reduce noise, stock intakes are usually not restricted for the same reason, and mpg's. Also, 99% of stock CAI systems are better than what you can zip tie together in your garage (besides the fact that CAI doesn't do shit most of the time)

Also, this. Headers are usually the only exhaust part that adds power, the rest is just noise.

GTFO and go to /mu/

No it's /o/ related you fucking retarded lame cunt.
>>14728875
Music is not /o/ related. Your brain doesn't function well.
I was involved in a hit and run incident today. A limp dick chode in a giant tricked out GMC/Tundra (wasn't able to confirm) rear ended me then took off. I was getting out of my car with my phone in my hand to take a picture of his license plate when he gunned it and took of. I was 3 seconds too slow.
So now I am in the market for a dash cam since this is the third time I have been hit in the last 6 months. Any recommendations or experiences with cheap/expensive dashcams?
>three times in 6 months
Youre either very unlucky or people where you live can't drive for shit.
>>14728785
San Francisco. I was in LA driving around for 9 months and never got hit.
>>14728764
im probably going to go with this one.

Would ny car look alright if I lowered it on the stock wheels?
I have enough cash to either get a nice set of new wheels and tires, or a set of nicer coilovers.
Thanks!
>>14728292
Go with new wheels and tires.
>>14728292
Coilovers are useless unless you go to a track every weekend.
Stay away from them if your on bumpy backroads which it looks like you are on your pic
Just get heavy duty shocks and new springs firm the ride up for like $400 or less then Non niggerstance rims
>>14728367
I want coilovers because I need adjustability.
I live in canada, so in the winter I would like it to be taller and in the, summer, lower.
Why are PIT maneuvers so effective? What's the best way to counter one?
>>14728248
Rear mounted shotguns.
Because most people have never broken traction before
Don't let the cop turn into your rear end, but there's no point in running from the cops if they're that close, they have your plate

Craigslist Posting:
2000 Saab 9-5 Swedish safety and comfort at 90% off MSRP
120k miles
The timing belt and water pump were recently replaced.
Very well maintained but it's now a 3rd car so not needed.
Very safe!
ABS (anti-lock braking system)
Traction control
Front and side airbags
Transmission adjustable to Sport mode (faster acceleration) or Winter mode (better traction from stop)
Black with black leather interior
Harmon Kardon premium sound system
Heated front AND back seats
Windows professionally tinted
Huge trunk
Good tires (probably another 30k to go before they need to be changed)
Should I buy it? Of course it's not even worth that much but I'm seeing them later today to possibly test the car and haggle the price. Obviously they're expensive to fix but so are a lot of cars, so should I buy it?
>>14728134
Price?
>>14728134
Is it priced around $1800-2300?
The 2000 need the PCV update kit, no matter how well the engine has been oil changed over the years.
A simple Stage 1 on the Aero puts it up from 230HP to 260+HP with 324lb-ft.
>>14728157
>>14728167
they want 2800, but it's no way near worth that much, so I'm thinking they did something with it before hand.
Post photos you have taken of your ride. Discuss photography tips and tricks.
>tips
shoot a lot, hella pictures.
Here is the original photo, to give it the sepia toned look above put into photoshop, desaturate> colour balance (add a little yellow and red on the mid, high and low sliders)

Talk me out of buying a BMW 635CSI for 9600 with 98000 miles that has been completely restored and has service records
It wouldn't be my daily, the engines pretty bullet proof, and parts aren't that expensive from the checklists I've looked at. Only thing you have to worry about is automatic transmissions and the one I'm getting is a manual
Manual E24? Go for it
follow your fucking dreams and get ready to replace the whole cooling system

You should already know better
Good Day /o/
I'm thinking of going from a 2004 3.8L V6 Auto to a 2002 5.7L V8 Manual that has 40k lower KMs for 2 grand more, is it worth it?
>>14727707
Yes, absolutely.
>>14727707
Yes. Do it.
>>14727707
Do it faggot
hey, /o/, i've been looking at a 2004 lancer oz rally edition. would it be ideal for a first car? are there any issues i should know ahead of time?
>>14726771
just try to find one with the lowest possible mileage.
>>14726771
all lancer OZ editions are beaten up as shit because high schoolers who wanted an evo but couldnt afford one got the OZ rally. and then abused the shit out of it thinking it was a race car
Just got one myself a 03. the heater knob gets stuck on a lot of them but it is a simple fix. Don't do any work on anything without unhooking the battery.other then that i know of nothing else That is common gremlins
What are you working on /o/? and if you posted in this thread last time, post updates.
Slowbalt needs paint and minor repair, new battery soon, speakers.
Fairmont still needs a motor but got washed
(Because I dont like people knowing it doesnt work, also live where people report stupid shit like cars sitting too long with cobwebs)
El camino needs fuel lines after I replace the gas tank ignition to be re-wired since I have to basically hot wire it to start it.
SN95 Needs trans work, needs a throw out bearing but waiting to get a clutch kit as well.
F250 needs...

Need to sell: H2B Integra, makes 210whp. Just been too lazy, not too excited at the prospect of dealing with the dark hoard that makes up Honda """"fans""""
Listing it up for $5000, but if someone gives me anything over $4200 I'll take that and run, already taking a bath on it. Has a QSD H2B Kit/H23A/GSR trans, Hondata S300, Konis/GCs, ASR Rear Subframe and 23mm Swaybar, new bushings all underneath (HardRace Rubber or Poly), ITR Seats, and a bunch of other crap in a '95 RS shell (230k miles, but its a hardtop + 1995 so...

Yeah it's a D50 I have one just like it. If he was more informed he (or someone flipping it) could probably get quite a bit more just by also calling it a Mighty Max
