>Edgy teenagers.
hell/o/, I'm looking to buy a nice small sized car, must be manual, gas, rear wheel drive.
I've got a few ideas on mind, a few cars off volvo.. the 740, 940 sedan(these are a bit too big n bulky) or the 360(although this one is crazy old '86)
then i was looking at a few old mazdas, but none were convincing, and at a few bmw's, but they tend to be really torn down here. (eastern europe) bmw e30 '89, to specify
any ideas?
tl;dr: another kid asks /o/ advice about buying cheap rwd
Ford Sierra?
Mercedes-Benz 190
>>14118024
that's an option, but i've heard bad things about old Fords..

It's certainly is
Can a car which falls into the water be repaired? Or is it basically scrap?
>>14117529
Yes it can be repaired, but financially it is probably scrap.
normal water, it can be fixed but never normal again
salt water just crush it
Ofcourse it can
But, if it can be repaired with the goal of it being worth more than the initial value of the fucked car + price to fix depends on the car, how much you do yourself and so on. On a general basis; no
Creaks and rattles, a lot.
cus its a hyundai
Any good alternatives?
What happens if I put Pirelli P Zeroes on my daily?
SoCal so no snow and hardly any rain.
You'll look like a faggot with P Zeros on your shitbox.
>>14117387
Why lol
I just want better performance on the mountains
My car is already somewhat sporty it's not a fwd nip mobile
>>14117432
>>14117378
Why wouldn't you get one of the numerous high performance summer tires that are better? Pirelli is for brand whores and niggers and consistently scores poorly in comparison tests.

I want a vette.
I don't want to plan to do any swaps. I don't want to plan to fuck anything up. I just want a nice stick shift vette in its prime for the best value they're at.
I keep hearing C3s are going up in price, and that chasing after the prime one is bad.
And that C4s are still too much for what they are.
Now, I'm wondering if that's just horse shit. Because chasing down a cheap C5 seems like a pain. Or is it?
I'm willing to drop a chunk of change down for a decent used vette in the kentucky area. Hopefully under 80-100k....
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
I don't know if cargurus is the best thing to go off of. But I've been getting some prices from it.
I'm obviously craigslist savvy, I just hope there is an anon here with an educated opinion on the 3 vette styles in my price range. And which one is worth getting the most.
I'll be honest though, I have a preference for the C4.
>>14115596
C4s are to much? U wot m8. There's a reason why it's in the sticky. They aren't gonna get much cheaper. They're pretty much at their lowest they'll ever be.
>>14115596
C4's are your best bet. Aim for a 1989-1996 model and you're golden

Why do people say that you can't have fun driving a pickup truck?
What makes pickup trucks not fun to drive?
I was thinking that a regular cab truck would be a good vehicle for me, but I also occasionally like having fun when I drive, doing 70-80 on empty, curvy, hilly county highways in the Jap econobox that I am currently driving.
Trucks will always be fun weather its a v8 or an i4 minitruck.

Do that in a truck and you gon die.
>>14114995
I wouldn't go as fast, I know that a pickup would of course be heavier and have a higher center of gravity.
Hey /o/, I'm looking to put a new seat in my car as it's been pretty heavily modified and I have almost no neck support
Because I don't wan't to break my neck if I get rear ended and because I have some spare cash I'm considering a new seat.
I'm looking at a Status Racing Ring GT fixed back all in, with brackets like $1100
Any anons have experience with Status? Suggestions for other Autox/FIA rated seats?
Hadn't seen a seat thread on /o/ before, so I'm not sure what to expect
>>14114728
I could never buy a seat from a company with such a goofy name, get a recaro pole position and shut up
All or nothing.
Fixed back seats and harnesses without a roll bar is deadly.
Same with fixed back/ harnesses/roll bar without helmet.
Stock is safest because it allows your body to "fold" down if the roof caves in.
>>14114742
I feel like the likelihood of me flipping over and being crushed is significantly less than being hit from behind at any speed and getting severe whiplash or breaking my neck. The structure of the car should survive a rollover. I'd be running a 5 point attached to a bar but I wouldn't be running a full cage. I'm not completely negating all danger but I'm reducing the likelihood of common injury I'm exposed to now
Cars that didn't meet your expectations when you discovered their true nature, or when you drove it for the first time. I'll start

This fucking thing. It's the original >Muh Feels car, and while it may have been great in the 80's when nothing had any horsepower, but now it's just a slow, rattly German shitbox with a hefty nostalgia pricetag.

Comfortable, powerful, handsome, terribly flawed engine.
Hey/o/
I have 1.5k spare i want a car that is just as fast as an M3 E46
I cannot afford an M3 obviously however i can afford an RX-8 but what other cars are there that are fast 0-60 / 0-100 and cheap?
80's and 90's camaros, mustangs, and the like.
Cheap to buy, slap a turbo/supercharger, and you're on your way.
Also 2/10 trolling, OP, 2/10
RX8 for 1.5k? wut
>>14113250
Im not trolling
Also UK chap;
RX-8s are £400 - £4k £1.5 can buy a decent one.
Im sure a 80s/90s american car here would cost 4-5k no matter the state
