Diagram 8 shows the throttle still being pressed while the clutch is being let off. I thought you just blip the throttle then let go of the gas before you raise the clutch.
Which is it?
Come on do you'll nerds even rev match?
M-maybe

Naw, it's extraneous bullshit.
Are CAIs a necessary and obvious upgrade, or are they snek oil trying to rob plebs out of hundreds for no upgrade?
some cars come with stock cai, and people go and make them into hot air intakes

can confirm
is that a roush?
Just looking for some advice here.
Thinking of purchasing either the new Miata (auto), used 2015 Volvo S60, or the new wrx (auto).
Before I hear about the auto, I work in the Bay Area so the stop go traffic will suck, and none of my friends have a manual I can practice with.
Tbh I just need a reason why I should not purchase these cars.
Thanks /o/

if you're getting a sportscar you should get a memeshift..
>auto
kill yourself faggot
>>14088333
Thing is, I just want to enjoy the feeling of the car without having to use my right hand to shift 90% of the time. Also the bay has some serious hills and I don't have confidence in my ability to shift anyhow.

Are Ford Mustangs good value for money?
Even in the UK, a used V8 Mustang is about the same money for the same year & mileage Golf GTI
Obviously the Golf is more more practical and in some ways more sophisticated.
How are Mustangs viewed in the USA? As a poor man's Porsche or good bang for the buck?
>poor man's Porsche?
I've never heard a Mustang compared to a Porsche. The new ones are pretty great, last generation not so much.
>>14088245
Mustangs are quite big by our standards. Also, a v8 is going to get through fuel like God knows what. Moreover, I don't think last gen Mustangs are particularly great when it comes to handling (though not as bad as the stereotypes would have you believe, either).
Why do you care how Mustangs are judged in America? Are you planning on taking it out there?
>>14088245
What. Is the Mustang really referred to as a poor man's Porsche overseas?
>go to car
>open driver door
>don't adjust drivers seat unless it's set up for someone else
>take pic of seating position
No lying
Do you have nothing better to do than be an insecure shithead?

I nearly bought an el camino but I bought this instead.
Postan the last (and best) product of BMW's glory age
Also E30 M3 thread
That doesn't look like an e39 m5. Arguably the best BMW ever made and one of the top sports sedans in the world.
ahh the most over rated shitbox ever made

Scoot scoot motherfucker

>>14087639
zuma 125 a best
ruckus is 3slow5me
125cc is the perfect displacement for scooters. prove me wrong.
How does /scoot/ feel about extended sway arms? A.k.a. "stretching" them out?
Is it the scooter equivalent to >stance?
can someone please tell me why anyone would get a scooter when you can just get a bike
What's it worth /o/? It runs.
Also W114/W115 body general
>>14087629
>It runs.
Then why it is covered in leaves and branches?
Three Dollars and Fifty Cents.
aktually looks like it's been sitting only for a few months/years.
normally these benzes rust quite quickly.
What are the pros and cons of daily driving a Jeep Wrangler? I'm considering as my next vehicle, but worried that I'll get annoyed by the following:
>Highway driving
>Sloppy handling
>Road noise
>Fuel economy
Is it worth it?
>>14087549
All cons, no pros.
>>14087549
I daily drove a second gen Explorer for years. It's nowhere near as bad as a Jeep Wrangler, but it was still nearly unbearable. I would highly recommend NOT getting the Wrangler as a DD.
>>14087549
>cons
Faggots in other Jeeps wave at you.
ESP becomes mandatory next year, and ESP Off switches becomes illegal

[citation needed]
Eh, it might happen. I think something similar does, right?
Good thing they can't do jack shit on older cars. Even though my E34 has ESP already.
Some guy in my neighboorhood drives a 4door acura with his wheels like this. Can someone explain why this is done? Looks dumb as fuck and....well i just dont know.
Another one of these threads?
Good job /o/

I rarley post here. Figured this would be the board to ask.
its a dangerous car fad that kids find cool these days, legislatures are starting to ban it due to safety issues. So if there is local examples of people doing it just record and report to your local representative voicing your safety concern. Hellaflush as they call it is starting to garter attention with lawmakers after multiple safety violations shed light on now unsafe the cars are.
How do you deal with cops who pull you over for no fucking reason?
Happened as I was leaving a store, cop was blocking the way I wanted to leave so I had to circle around out the other way. He started following me for a good 1/2 mile even after I made multiple turns to get back to the street I needed to get to.
He pulls me over with the usual mumbo jumbo, ask him why and he claims "I didn't stop at the crosswalk markings before the stop sign" on one of the previous turns I made. Had no clue what he was even talking about but he demanded the license and...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
I have a get out of jail free card from a relative who is a cop, so when ever i get pulled over i show them it.
I've never been pulled over in my life except once at 3am when I didn't have my registration sticker on.
Are you like cruising around in 2nd making all kinds of noise or what.
