/o/, why is the AW4 the only automatic transmission I've driven that doesn't feel like mashed taters?
>>14125875
Because you haven't driven any other autos? Or at least good ones?
Drive a Mercedes Benz with a 7 speed slushbox.
because it has janky jerky shift points
1>2 are short as fuck then you spend the rest of your life in third and maybe get forth somewhere north of 55
Its crawler first feels like the thing is slipping but thats exactly what its meant to feel like

why don't you take up hiking or something instead
Low quality bait. A hobby isn't supposed to make sense, it's just for fun.
>>14125827
there are a great many hobbies that are both fun and useful

Nice car. Whats the retail on one of those
More than your shitbox of a car. Did mom let you have it for the night?
More than you can afford, pal.
$000,000 if your parents actually love you like mine do senpai.
Thinking about replacing my recently wrecked car with a 2010 RX-8.
No, the accident wasn't my fault and strangely enough was doing the speed limit.
In b4 'Get a BRZ/FRS', test drove these two along with the Rex, and the rotary left me with a smile and boner.
Thoughts?
>>14125688
Buy a cheap first gen with a blown engine and 13b-turbo swap it.
>>14125688

I have a son?

That's cool son. At least you like cars, unlike /o/.
Hey /o/, my insurance came through after some soccer mom took out my 05 Mazda 6s, I need advise on what's some good options for around 9 grand usd
>>14125578
Should have had some "neck problems" so you could get more than 9k.
>>14125859
I didn't feel like being a total dick, my car was only worth like 5k, so I called it good
>>14125578
depends on what you want. Lots of options in the 10K market
I really hope this counts as a valid favorite car.
>>14125584
Go to hell. Optimus Prime is my favorite fucking car, and if you have a problem with that, you can suck my dick.
>>14125593
The problem is, he isn't actually a car, and if you rode in him, you'd have a bad time.
Anyone into RC cars here? Looking for something relatively cheap (less than $300) to dick around with in the field behind my house and maybe play around with at the local off-road RC track.
How are the Tamiya TT-01/TT-02? I like all the different body styles available, really considering pic related. If there's anything better for a similar price I'll look into it. And what about remotes, there are a ton and I don't know what's good.
>>14125392
as long as its not fwd you're good
Traxxas Slash is what you need. The rally cars completely suck for bashing. You will be greatly disappointed. Been there, done that. You need ground clearance, and the Slash is perfect. And probably the most durable RC's out there besides the monster truck, T Maxx/ E Maxx.
SC-10 and the HPI equivalent would also suit the bill fine, but they will break easier
Would you guys be interested in an instagram page with original photos and captions that are informational? With nearly daily posts and always original content?

Seen that coming.
This could be bait..
Hey /o/, I need some help. I am looking to get a second car but face a challenge I haven't thought of. I want a fun (ish) 2 door, preferably convertible/ttop...but I have 2 kids under 3 in car seats. Both forward facing.
Now they wouldn't be in my car all the time, my wife has a yukon for the normal family stuff. This will be a back up to her and my primary.
I am considering f body's, mustangs (94 to 2004), volvo c70, toyota solaras, and saabs. I wanted a clk mercedes but their reliability scared me away, much the same as all sebrings.

Otherwise I'm going to end up with a maxima and call it a day

putting car seats in a 2 door would be a pain in the ass
How critical is it to replace a bad valve cover gasket?
The engine is covered in oil, but I haven't really noticed a drop in the oil level and nothing is getting onto the ground.
Can it wait until after winter?
>>14124958
>the engine is covered in oil
there's your answer
>>14124983
That's not an answer. You just copied and pasted.
>>14125008
you know what I mean. If it covered the engine in oil it's important.

There's some smart brains here. I want my car to catch fire while driving. How can I temper with it to do such a thing?
Tell me were u live. I come and pour gas on ur car. Light it while u drive and I jump off. Hopefully not gas fire on me. Done.
>>14124760
literally just poke a hole in one of your coolant hoses
>>14124760
Take out a spark plug and coil, but leave the injector plugged in.
Does /o/ approve of lambo door modifications?
jesus christ frs owners...
It looks retarded on 100% of cars including Lamborghinis.
>>14124739
Because literally only FRS owners do this
>>14124740
Lamborghinis are supposed to look retarded.
Except the Huracan. What's up with that, anyway?
Hey guys, I'm thinking about purchasing an old '72 Honda Z600 AKA 600 and putting a motorcycle engine in it. The only problem is the 70's 600's are FWD and I guess making it RWD would be a huge pain and not worth the effort. As you can tell, I'm no expert on mechanics... Any suggestions? I love the way these little cars look and having a better engine in it than the stock engine would be awesome.
>>14124525
I saw a vid of Jay Leno's Garage of a guy who did this to a 90's 600, but I believe that one was RWD. This popped up on craigslist but when I saw the "FWD" I freaked out
Sounds like a good plan, since you don't have any experience you should just a get a Z600 FWD to RWD with motorcycle engine adapter kit
>>14124548
I cannot tell if this is sarcastic but I would definitely have a mechanic do it for me haha...
