Smart car tell me why i should not get one?
>>14112766
It's a smart car
fortwo
>>14112772
Thats all i need plus gas is cheap too
>>14112766
You could get something larger, faster, more economical and better to drive for less money.
Only reason to get one is that having a car that size benefits you in some way.
Alright /o/ I've been hearing different shit about this so I'd figured I might as well ask here too. I'm looking to get new wheels but they will require adapters. Going from 5x110 to 5x100. The forums for my car are saying to go with US made 20mm adapters, though they're $150-$200. Where as the ebay ones are 25mm and are only like $75. Is that 5mm really a big deal? Does it mater that they're ebay brand?
>>14111480
It probably only matters if you value your life and car
>>14111488
But how are they worse? Lugs not threaded in well or cheaper aluminum or what?
Adapter acts as a lever arm on the hub. RIP bearings.
Hey /o/
I want to make a car out of wood.
What engine should I put in it, and how can I make this fucker somewhat road-legal in Aus?
1000cc motorbike engine
Are you making the frame out of wood to or just the body like in the picture?
>>14110503
Everything.
Single seater, basic suspension, and probably canvas bodywork.
Merry Christmas /o/!
I got you a present. You'll have to share, though, as I could only get one.
>>14109575
Dubs you sell.
>>14109575
Dubs for LS swap.
>>14109575
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT
car related autistic things you do?
>go into car dealers/honda dealers
>demand EG6 or EK9
>just keep talking about it and how id pay a ton of money for one
>keep doing so until closing or i am escorted out
ill get it shipped to usa soon guys
you really like raising autism awareness don't you anon
>>14108530
maybe if honda actually gave USA a good honda i would have not be forced to do this
/hg/ is a joke
people always post type r or JDM SI spec times and act like their USDM bullshit is at all comparable
>be tasteful Honda enthusiast
>still ironically do this dumb shit
>point at every Honda on the road when driving
>exclaim "vtec!" out loud to any passengers
99% of the people I drive with are accustomed to it and usually participate, and it's humorous. Once and a while though somebody new comes for a ride and thinks I'm just an autistic Honda retard.

Would any of these be worth buying a fixing?
>1998 Mclaren F1
>Bank repo
>Make offer
Yeah, that one.
Apparently, there is a subculture of Ferrari rats who adapt parts from Ford to work but I'm sure they know a lot more about cars than you or I, OP.
i work on coachbuilt cars for a living, and occasionally i do work on some ferraris. As a general rule I wouldn't buy anything older than a 360 to work on myself.
also stay away from anything with structural carbon fiber damage.

Cousin wants me to drive 3 hours to go look at this..worth?
http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/5349045853.html
I think so. The paint doesn't look too bad? Maybe a professional cut and polish would bring life back to the paint. Or just wrap it in vinyl.
Ask to see if the paint is that bad. Is it clear coat?
white sw20 are always with it. v6 swap and roll out
idk what its worth but its a good car.
doesnt really get much better than that for a stock configuration car this old.
what kind of car is that?
Opel Speedster.
It's shit. Delete the thread, delete the picture and never even again think about it.
>>14112046
Opel Speedster/Vauxhall VX220 aka cheaper Elise in drag.
>>14112065
>it's shit
Clueless faggot award winner.
Is that a roush with a some kind of $500 fiero body kit?
>aprilia dorsoduro
>Ducati Hypermotard
I am stuck between these two, from a specs perspective the new Ducati wins hands down over the aprilia. However the Aprilia is not only $2000 cheaper but also has a slightly better track record in terms of reliability.
>what would /o/ do?
>>14108574
>Italian Bikes
>wanting one.
Please stay in your containment thread >>>/dbt/
This is an automotive board
>>14108574
I conducted a strawpoll in the /dbt/ once on that subject.
The results were in favor of the Dorsoduro by a factor of 2:1.
Hi lads, happy holidays!
Need your help /o/ I found a 1989 Jeep Cherokee (pic related) on sale for about $1900 I haven't had a chance to look at it cause of the festivities and such. Owner says it's in great condition so I ask you what should I know about this vehicle? What should I check??
It would be my first jeep btw, thanks a bunch!!
Off-road thread I guess, let me see your vehicles lads.
Cherokee with AMC 4.0 is GOAT.
Congrats on the find.
look for leaks
check
rear main seal-common
check valve cover-common
check exhaust for wear, its old
and of course check 4x4
they have vacuum disconnect.
>>14107764
I know little to nothing about cars, about this xj I know it has 4wd, it's a 4.0 automatic.
>>14107778
Cheers lads. Maybe I'll post some pics of my adventures after I buy it.
/o/ i need help deciding, should i buy an Xbox One or a Lincoln Electric Welder?
500 dollars on my PayPal set to the side.
I recieved Fallout 4 for Xmas but dont own an Xbone and my project needs very minor rust repair, like less than 1" of rust.
Pic unrelated, a bird drinking melted chocolate milkshake
>>14112585
You'll get much more use out of the console, but the welder can be sued in more projects. I'd say go with the welder, it might get you into some cool new projects you wouldn't have gone into otherwise.
>spending money just to spend money
Have fun living paycheck to paycheck, poorfag
What kind of question is this you fucking mongaloid? Get the welder and torrent shitout 4 on pc
>Americans think rollstart "racing" on the highway is racing
>Americans think drag "racing" is racing
ok

>manchildren
Spare key
/o/ so i went full retard and bought a car without a catalytic comverter, anyway the CEL is on and its giving off a P0420 code and wasting MASSIVE gas, like im getting the same MPGs as a 8cyl on a 4 cyl, is there anything i can do to fix the mpgs without buying a new cat?
Where i live theres no emissions so thats not an issue
>>14111682
I don't think its your cat if your burning gas, and in fact if you're running rich you killed the cat becuase something else went wrong.
>frogposter
>doesn't even say what car
yeah nah just fuck off ya cunt
if u dont have a cat you will get better mpg but in no way less
running rich is prolly caused by the lambda sensor u just need to pull it out
I also bought a car without a cat, no CEL's, in city a lot of fuel consumed but I also push the shit out of the tiny engine. Highway is pretty much unchanged.
