Why all you americucks mad you didn't get the s15? It's only the best mass produced fr sports car, quick and provides a sufficient driving experience, stop being mad a turbo is replacement for some Hick ass displacement.
>>14136930
because a well maintained v8 will do millions of miles whilst the s15 rots in a junk yard
>>14136930
Fucking sexy pic. Any more?

but it's not a Ford™
What do you think? /a/ did SnK opening and other stuff, we could do our own thing. Post your song suggestions.
>>14135197
cool vibrations
>>14135197
We have to pick something easily recognizable, has lyrics available online, and is the worst possible song to sing. My vote is for Space Boy or Running in the 90's.

i want to buy a land cruiser but all of the used ones i can afford have mileage over 70k, and most are over 100k. are they worth buying at all with mileage that high? i drive 15k+ miles a year
>>14140295
>>14140295
to add, a lexus LX is okay too. i'm not sure about the differences between the two, as far as i know they're the same. even luxury-wise
is the j100 better than the j200?

Alright boys, I'm ready to buy my second car. I drive an '05 Mustang GT that was my first car and I'm ready to upgrade. I'm just looking for some 3rd party input.
I have $20,000 that I'm going to put down + my current car and I've chosen either a GT350 or a c7 z51. The GT350 with all the options I want is $57,000. A 1lt z51 c7 with all my options is $65,000. This is absolutely pushing it in my opinion.
I like both of them but have never driven them. I'm going to do the 2nd though. One thing I love is the rear seats but I'm...

>57k for a mustang
What a great deal, you should totally do it.
>asking /o/ about cars they can't afford
Just go with what you like.
GT350 will probably hold more value in the end.
why would you buy a brand new.ugly shitbox if its nothing more than a flashy utility to you.
do you even like cars. serious. if I had 20k to plunk down there are so many other things I would by other than the newest soap bar for sale.
but you're an imbecile and you just want a flashy sports car so you can feel better than the hundreds of blurry faced nobody's you see on the street who don't give a fuck about you at all.
I bet you've never touched an oil filter in your entire life. go fuck yourself. go to reddit or Facebook. anywhere but here.
What's the American equivalent of the Ariel Atom?
Vette Kart
>>14140034
The American equivalent would probably be the Campagna T Rex - although now I see from your filename that thing is a kit car? So you might consider it more similar to a Factory 5 product
Is it worth spending about £7500 on one?
>Hurr durr fifth gear
Kinda hard to say. Depends highly on the condition, age and spec. On a theoretical level I encourage you to buy a Capri.
Also (euro/SA) Capri thread.
You can spend 3k or so on a decent MK3
There are still loads of them
Trying to figure out if this isn't a gay car to buy I'm getting a good deal on 2007 mustang convertable
why do you want a convertible
I dislike converts. Plus they look like girls cars.
My Z pisses in your Mustang's intake, fuck off queer.
Go ahead and benchrace. I've owned more vehicles than you've seen years, and I was thoroughly underwhelmed by the Mustang. The interior is 90s KIA tier too.
They are what got me interested in sports coupes again, but they are a letdown in reality. And I am a Ford fanboi. The 370z blew the Mustang away in the feels dept, that's why I bought one instead.
The 370z has Jap class with muscle acceleration, and the handling characteristics you'd expect from a traditional two seat rwd coupe...

yo /o/ how hard would it be to swap a reliable engine into a known unreliable car, for example how about a ls1 in a mid 2000s bmw 3 series, ik it would be costly but how much and would it be worth it?
>>14139884
also if you have pics like above pls post em
>>14139884
what's more reliable? nigger-rigging an LS1 into a 3-series with the associated plumbing and electrical work or doing regular maintainence?
So, how much would a Vauxhall / Opel Corsa 2008-2009 Registered with roughly 40-60k milage cost in your country?
The 1.3 Diesel model (The best model because the engine isnt made by vauxhall)
Ill start
England :
£2,290 ($3389 usd)
Just want to know who has the best and who has the worst used car market
>>14139416
if it aint barebones and 4 doors, around 4000 euros

Why do Americans drive so slow?
I always have to pass or flash my high beams at people with american plates, even in usa you guys are slow.

IDK. The only place in America I have ever driven is Canada and the US.
How much do you get fined if you get caught driving without ESP?
>>14138985
Nothing if its the first offense
What the fuck are you talking about, there's no law saying you must drive with ESP on.
>>14138985
My state will fine you if you get caught with ESPN on.
Looking into getting a replacement engine. One yard has a remanufactured engine while there is the option of a used one. Is it essentially a rebuilt engine?
Rebuilt sounds like its got new parts that would have worn over time
Remanufactured sounds like its been machined. If it's just been through processes to replay surface treatments then fine but if it is dimensionally different a factory engine then eyebrows should be raised
Remanufactured is refurbished. They look at it and replace if necessary. I would go for the rebuilt.
Actual fucking tech here with a legitimate answer.
Refurbished engine means that it was taken apart and checked to make sure things were within manufacturer's operating limits. This can mean many parts are very NEAR out of spec, but edging by, if you are dealing with a shadier refurbisher. This is a bigger risk, but slightly cheaper.
ReMANUFACTURED means the engine has been completely taken down and rebuilt to zero time specs, much tighter than refurbished specs. This will always include having the heads and block machined, along with full rebuilds on both...

i want to pursue a career in auto mechanics, is it helpful to have a log of shit you have done?
heres my log, im just starting out
>>14138769
No but I keep every receipt for every repair I do.
>>14138769
It's not exactly useful for your career, it doesn't work like a resume.
It is useful for when you want to sell your car, but you won't impress anybody with the maintenance log of your car when finding a job.
