How do you go about turbocharging a 4.3 vortec?
>first time tuning
>wants to turbocharge
Just fuck my shit up senpai
Weld the headers to the turbo, weld other end of turbo to intake, drill hole into oil pan for return line, get a turbo hose kit, connect one line to oil pressure sender, other hose to the hole you drilled. Crack open a beer.

Step 1: Remove the engine from the assembly.
Step 2: Throw it on a scrap heap
Why bother spending money doing the entire turbo conversion when the engine is just going to end up there anyways.
I'm a Father of two kids. Currently I drive a 2013 Genesis Coupe 2.0T, and not having for doors is getting to be a real pain in the dick. We just came back from the beach, and the amount of sand (and the difficulty of cleaning it), as well as the getting in and out was abysmal. What's a good comprise of switching over to a sedan? I'm not willing to give up the speed, but I'm ready to save up. Test drove a Jeep Wrangler the other day, and hated it.

nothing that stupid, that's for sure
>>14164972
You're not stupid, I'm stupid
I've done the same shit except I hit black ice, slid, and hit a curb sideways damaging the hubcap and wall of the tire
Then yesterday I nearly ran some dipshit over because I tried passing a car that had stopped to let them pass (I didn't see them just thought they randomly stopped)
I accidentally double clutched to go down two gears. I felt so fucking dumb after doing it. Most of the time, I'll double clutch to go from 5 to 2 or something.
Go to your craigslist and bring back something interesting

Why does Toyota hate America so much?
I mean , nearly all jap companies (and some domestics) have something against us like Honda giving us the shittiest options
But damn, Toyota just stopped trying to give us their sportier cars after the 80s
>>14164952
You know what ?
No.
The USDM Toyota of the 90s gets shit on so god damn much here
but its way fucking better than Honda
everyone loves Hondas for double wishbone and Type R (which we cant get)
but the fucking wheelbase and weight we get on a corolla SEDAN of the E90 and E100 time is amazing
The Corolla is a way better car than the Civic for tuning
Wheelbase of 103.2? What the FUCK Honda
>>14165388
Fucking nope
I will die on the EK Civic hill
>>14164952
Not just Toyota, none of the Japanese manufacturers like giving us any of the actually good products, they almost always only sell us boring normie-tier breadwinners like the Altima or Camry. Most of the sporty/fast things they do sell here are dumbed down from the JDM version.
Im deciding between an e46 330ci and an e36 325is/328is. I have 5-6k. Which will I enjoy more? I keep hear the e36 is more of a drivers car which is what really interests me, but the newer interior, looks and safety features is drawing me into the e46. I had an e30 which I loved but wrecked and am looking at the newer generations.
i'd actually say the e46 is more of a driver's car, more fine tuned suspension and steering and all that. the e36 is just more raw which isn't necessarily good
interesting how even the E46 was already so much more bloated than the direct predecessor

/o/, would you rather haul your family in a used limo or a minivan?

Minivan

Used limo. That would be awesome.

See, this is a question of looking like a freak vs looking like a man who had lost all hope. I cannot resolve this dilemma.
Is there any meaningful difference between performance winter tires and studless/studable winter tires?
My dad told me I can take his Dinan supercharged BMW M3 he never drives if I can get it running. It’s in decent shape, the exterior is badly faded and some glued-on panels in the interior are coming off but the mechanicals should be in good shape. It only has 77K miles on the odometer and the supercharger was rebuilt about 7 years ago but only 5K miles have been put on it.
He said last time he drove it, it ran really rough and he could smell gasoline, so...

Nigger, what are you doing?

Installed a new rack and pinion. Wheels move to the right when I move the steering wheel to the left... Wtf? 92 accord.

Hoses backwards

On what? The rack and pinion?
>>14164502
Yes
Why aren't reverse sleepers a thing?
Because being a sports car and spending all that time, money, and effort to make it slower is idiotic
>>14164306
everyone already assumes the foxbody IS slow
why set out to prove people right
rednecks usually dumps untold amounts of money into them to makes them VERY SLIGHTLY less tragic
They are though

Well I'm pretty torn on what to get. I'm looking for 5-10 thousand AWD and I either want a wrx (probably the Saab version) or an 04-07 Volvo S60 R. What would you guys choose?
>>14163884
s60r all day.
>>14163884
i say s60 aswell
having owned ans60 and s60r i highly recommend the s60r, finding a manual is hard as fuck though, and the T5 is still faster but R model is just cool, basic pretty high quality interior, just make sure to replace all the dried door seals.
Anybody has a Kizashi?
Is it a good car?
Pros and cons?

okay car, have cheap awd if you need it, if not any major brand japanese car will do

I have never understood why he should've been double clutching when upshifting..
I can understand when down shifting.. But he was driving a fwd/awd eclipse. If it was 500hp+ with nos etc it should've had straight cut gears and could've just been flat shifted. Or was vin implying the shitty stock glass gearbox of the eclipse needed to be double shifted to withstand the ridiculous drivetrain shock it was recieving.
Anyway
Streets closed pizza boy.. Find another way home.
>>14163489
I think Vin was implying that the writers had no idea about cars and just threw a bunch of car-related words into a sentence knowing that normies won't get it anyway
