Is it worth getting after market headlight bulbs?
Was in the market for new bulbs because 1 of mine went out. Was going to buy a new pair and save the extra working one for back storage.
Standard halogen bulb for me. No need for HID or LED.
What brands are the best? Brighter and whiter?
I was very up happy with silverstar ultra lasting 4months =(
What is Aut/o/ approved ?
>>14137498
yes, when your original ones die
that IS what you meant, right? or are you an idiot?
>>14137505
?
No I mean is it worth getting "after market" replacement bulbs.
Ones that are not OEM and/or claim to be brighter / longer beam.
Are you an asshole?
Tend to like the Phillips bulbs myself
are throttlebody spacers a meme? I don't see how this would do anything at all except pick your throttle body up an inch.
is there even any half assed science behind it
it's got vortexes and shit so it mixed the fuel up bro. more power. it's science
>>14137431
should i put daily men's vitamins into my gas tank for more torque
>>14137427
well technically it would increase the volume of air inside ur intake mainfold, so i guess it would make more power at low revs
its probably going to make like 1/4 hp more tho
So some of you were interested in my 83 build. It started off rough and would have been a daily driven project, but i decided to do a bit of a restoration. There are many pictures, so please bare with me.
lurking.
I can't seem to get replies for Initial D on either /v/ or /a/, will it be the same on /o/?

What's your favorite anime stage?
Did you play any of the Arcade Stage? (Which one is your favorite if it's the case)
What's your favorite Eurobeat album?

Stage 3 or 4 was the last decent stage desu
/o/ without Initial D is like an AE86 without an aftermarket cup holder.

Also, you're waifu a shit.
How feasible would it be to get a relaible 350whp out of a 13B turbo with bolt ons, injectors, etc.
(plus additional cooling to keep from blowing up due to thermal load on the engine)
I love the styling and feel of the FC3S Turbo II but it's too slow stock.
I know /o/ hates rotards, but I'm trying to figure out if I want to jump into the rotary world. The 13B-T seems pretty simple.
Thanks lads
Focus on getting the car cosmetically perfect before extracting more power out of the engine.
Get all the drivetrain in top shape as well. Them get more power.

Any z32 owners lurking who may be able to give some quick help? (or anyone who's diagnosed a similar issue)
Working on a buddies 94 300zx with the bose package, his speakers are (in cold weather) clicking on and off intermittently, once the interior is warmed up they come back on and work fine usually.
Thus far all ive done is pulled the passenger kick panel and swapped the audio relay plug into the blower relay (verified they were the same before doing so) and no dice; blower worked fine on said relay.
This is leading me to believe its not an issue...

Z32 owner, sorry I will not be any help on this subject however. I know a lot of people (myself included) had to put in new speakers because the old Bose are finally kicking the bucket. I will try to do some searching and get back to you.
>>14137016
Thanks buddy.
"worst" comes to worst we'll just bite the bullet and go ham on tearing out all the pre-amps and putting in a less over-engineered sound system, but it'll be nice to have working speakers for a while longer.
Had the Bose in my Z32, they kicked it in the winter of 2013 after it was painted.
It seems like a complicated system though, so that could be one of the factors.

that's cool that you want to own a girls car OP. that's very progressive of you.
>>14136523
As opposed to?
The new camaros are ugly as fuck, dodge is whack.
And the only japanese car I like is a gtr and i can't afford that shit.
Were the late 80's and 90's a better time for sports cars? particularly Japanese ones? or is it better now given cars like the nsx and gtr are faster than ever
Faster does not equal better.
> inb4 muh feels
>>14136427
Ya like how rwd is better than fwd
Just because the new civic is faster than a c5 z06 doesn't mean it's not complete shit and gook garbage
Now is a better time than any other for sports cars.
Only 'muh nostalgia' fools will tell you otherwise.

Fuck even I watched it, but I at least grew out of it.
What makes an engine reliable?
Can a high compression turbocharged engine be just as reliable as an AMC 4.0L I6?
Are Ford Ecoboosts too new to determine their reliability?
I want to start setting aside money for an engine swap, because there are a lot of miles on my current engine and I don't want to sell my Jeep ever. But the typical LS engine swap everyone seems to do is pretty excessive for my jeep, and I was thinking it may be better to put a modern turbocharged I4 engine in it instead. Most of those make more HP/Torque than my engine anyways, while...

here's a relevant thread for you, OP
http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40103
>>14136266
Turbines spinning at stupid high speeds at ludicrous temperatures will never be reliable no matter what alloy you try to make them out of.
Turbo engines are inherently less reliable than NA engines no matter what, end of story.
Non Centrifugal Superchargers however, while much more reliable than Turbos and Centrifugals, are still less reliable than NA engines for reasons-you-know-why.
>>14136266
Simplicity, ease of maintenance.
You'll probably end up with 20 definitions of what reliability by the time this thread is over with.
Why was it discontinued,
whhhhhy?
cuz it ugly
cause it was only fun for them while the EVO was still there.
now that the EVO is gone, the fun competition is gone, too.

So the overdrive slips on my automatic transmission fox body.
It's fully stock 100k miles no major repairs ever. I can drive it around in drive no problem even at highway speeds. Can I fix this or am I fucked?
>>14136158
Probably not by yourself. The causes of Slippage are hugely numerous. Just take it in to a specialist.
>>14136158
It's a hail Mary but you can try to drop the pan and filter and replace with fresh fluid and maybe a friction modifier like lucas trans fluid.
Take note of the color and viscosity of the used oil that drops with the pan.
>>14136212
Can I just keep it in drive all the time? Will it get worse if I do? Will emptying the pan help?
Whar is de iniashal D car of today?

Still an AE86. Maybe a miata.

This is so sad that sporty cars literally died
If you want a cheap sporty car you usually have to compromise with FWD (why did Mazda make the miata the only rwd MX-X car?)
Tree hurt my car. Still runs fine but pretty banged up.
I'd love to get it fixed, but its probably not cost-effective to do so.
I don't want to get ripped off for trade-in value and haven't found much info on parts sales.
It is pic related (ford focus 2002) and has the fancy headlights, upholstery, leather steering wheel, chrome muffer and cutsom KCM hot wheels.

Just about worthless. All of that is rice from the Fast and Furious era that nobody wants anymore.

Pic related is the bulk of the damage.
Also busted front windshield.
Only driver's door will open.
How much would it cost to fix it?
(forgot to mention murrifat, so USD please)
>I don't want to get ripped off for trade-in value
>ford focus 2002
As a 2003 Ford Focus owner, let me tell you, it's scrap. Drive it as long as necessary to come up with the cash for any other vehicle.
Part it out if you have the time, otherwise sell it for what you can get.
Your custom parts will be like $20 each.
