What's more expensive
FWD to RWD
or
FWD to AWD
I can't be FF anymore I fucking can't
What are the price range to do that conversion
>>14018286
Depends on if your car had optional AWD from the factory or not, and it would be much, MUCH easier and maybe even cheaper to just buy something else.
>>14018286
Depends. If your car originally had an AWD variant available (or an AWD car used the same platform) you might be able to convert it relatively easily.
If not, I'd imagine FF to FR would be cheaper simply because it needs less parts.
>>14018308 is right though, it's way cheaper to just buy something that already is RWD or AWD.
>>14018308

It's a good thing. We need to protect ourselves from our own stupidity.
Nice fail thread op.
Honestly thought there would be more replies desu tho.
I'll give you a bump I'm interested in other opinions that mine here

Not a whole lot since Teslas need to be replaced at 60,000 miles.
Let me start off by setting the stage:
>Driving in your used RWD 5MT Inline 6 Generic Carfu
>Fill up at the gas station
>Pull out, cross intersection on a green light
>Passing an entry/exit for a grocery store when everything goes apeshit
>Crossover driving Chester "The Texter" Lester has scattered everything from the A pillar and up across the road
>You have back pain, seat belt...

Yes. Lawyer as soon as possible. When I got hit by a car, I fucked up and settled because I didn't think I was hurt that bad. Now coming up on a year later, my back is still fucked and the $5600 I ended up getting out of it will never cover the days I will have to take off work in the future because my back is fucked up.
>>14018077
>>14018164
Also, just because you get a lawyer doesn't mean a long process with court dates. They will probably still settle, but give you something better.
>>14018169
Lawyers aren't saints, they do not have your best interests in mind, and they want to bill you as many hours as possible. Keep this in mind whenever your lawyer nugdes you in the direction of litigation.

Ok guys. Some of you know my Corolla FX.
It's got the old 4ac engine over 323k miles
I would like some more "pep" and can't decide what engine would be fun, easy, and maybe save a few bucks.
Keep in mind I'll have to change from mechanical fuel pump to high pressure.
>4afe
Easy to find. Lots of parts available. Easy to get the ecu and harness from a junk yard
>7afe
Pretty much the same deal as the 4afe

Just how bad are these guys? Any Canucks on here ever bought from them? What was your experience? I was thinking of buying one of their pic related but now I'm curious as to what /o/ thinks of them.

I went down there to check out an FD and holy shit that is a lemon orchard if I ever did see one. The dyke who greeted me showed me their selection, then tried to sell me on their Subaru Legacy's and then her boosted Prelude. Because you know a customer looking for a lightweight FR sports car is totally in the market for a AWD luxury sedan or a Honda! When I asked if I could do a test drive they wanted a 1000 dollar deposit. However, noting the trim pieces held together with tape and rusty rotors on many...

Those Japanese cars sit in big lots for ages until they are legal in certain countries and then can go on the auction block.
It all depends on who you have working for you in Japan. Do they have a mechanic or person there to verify the cars condition? Making sure they're getting the best examples of each car?
I duno. I think a lot of people just watch the auctions online and buy whatever comes up because it's so cheap. If they can't sell it
In Canada who cares it only cost them a few thousand.
I duno. I'd run my company way different...

Velocity sucks, I was in the market for a JDM import a while ago, and everything I had heard about the place was pretty poor. A lot of the cars are missing their auction sheets, I was down there once, and asked for one to a car I was looking at, and the guy dodged the question.
If you want to buy JDM, do it from a good importer. Brave auto or JDM connection have a good rep. Do your homework.
Post cars with interesting names.
love the Joypop Turbo as far as names go
How about you say that to my face not online

Is 2nd Gen DSM any good?
What about the turbo fwd versions?
I saw one on CL, 1998 factory wing so it's either GST or GSX

It's probably thrashed so now. They're fine cars that unfortunately became owned largely by retards.
Advice about upcoming replacement for 200k plus mile forester. $33,000.00 gets a brand new 2016 forester top of the line xt w/leather. Also gets 2013 CPO BMW x3 xdrive28i. Also gets 2013 CPO Merc GLK350. So, forester with 0 miles or other 2 with 30,000 - 40,000. I drive long road trips as well as gravel forest roads any condition to get camping. Best advice gets my /o/ face.
>inbefore, buy vw or honda.
>>14017494
Mazda CX5 or CX7 or CX9
Lexus has nice options
Or Toyota Land cruiser
>>14017494
Forester. If you go on gravel and scratch the paint of your "premium" car, you'll become a poor man in no time.
>>14017525
>OP here
Not much into mazda/ford, I tend to go 8 - 10 years between cars. BMW 7 series till 265k, older subaru till 225k, current subaru passing 210k.
>Lexus rx350, rav4 chassis = poor awd config.
>Landy = 14mpg.
>no lowballers
>price is firm
I'm ok with people not wanting to haggle. If the car doesn't interest me I just move on to the next ad.

There's this ford 2002 exploder next door to me with 240k miles on it for sale the last 3 months.

It looks like a fantastic price for all the mods and the KM's as well. Is there anything wrong with this car?

Isn't that 15k Canadian? So more money than USD?

My guess is it's about to crap out.

It's about 12ish in usd.

Canadian money is worthless compared to the US dollar.

They must get really good gas mileage with those Prius tires on them.
Low rolling resistance makes anything a drift machine. Otherwise an underpowered POS with a cheap interior.
>>14017227
Ecoboost stang is a really good car, though.
>>14017200
the kind of kek that likes a real roof and enough interior space for a full grown human.
