Strongly considering buying a 2008 Mustang GT very soon. It'll be my DD.
What should I do to it to add some more horsepower without something drastic like super or turboing it? Stock it only has like 300hp
>>15352154
Sell it and buy something better.
Ignore the horsepower meme and focus on improving its handling
>>15352187
>Handling
i care about having fun on straight kansas roads not handling thats for pussies
Does anybody own a E30 325i? Considering it for the first car I actually buy for myself. (Currently driving a 96 Saturn SL given to me by my uncle) I like the aesthetic and it's obviously has a reputation. My only concern is if it will be expensive to have repaired, or hard to work on myself. Also winters around here are usually somewhat tame but nonetheless I have no experience with a rear wheel drive car in the snow.

RAW, but its quite easy to get the general idea what they are talking about. Dialogues are pretty much the same as in the main series.

Anyone here DD a car with a heavy aftermarket clutch?
How bad is it?
Is it doable if u just put it in neutral more often instead of holding the clutch in?
Does ur left leg get mad gains?

DID NOT ENJOY IT AT ALL
>>15351948

>>15351962
I do a lot of highway driving
My friend found a car on his property. Anyone know what it is?
>>15351744
scrap metal. Maybe a ratrod project.
Scrap metal.
I'd get a title for it and sell it o Craigslist for 10k
Old Chevy ?

>>15351711
With 'there' you mean the US?

it needs a paintjob really. lots of paint chips and looks awful.
i fixed the AC, and everything finally works except the radio.
what do? it just sits there. i am busy using my motorcycle
sell it to me
i promise to keep it away from stancefags and vwfortex.
>>15351626
what are your plans for the thing? it is a pretty shitty daily driver. the gearing is all terrible. 4th is about 4k rpm at 40mph
>>15351636
id sell it for $1200 or so. that seems fair?
its not stock but it nearly is.
i stuck a 5th gear from a diesel in it
bilstein shocks, H&r springs, autox alignment
a very very good exhaust custom made for it.
'82 Civic owner here. Before I give my little econobox a fresh coat of paint, I was hoping /o/ could help me figure out how to give mine the wheel wells and different fender of something like pic related. Is it a body kit? A 100% custom job? I've never really had a car like this before, so this is new to me.
go rpf-1 and rocket bunny kit
>>15351519
Go fuck yourself
ill race you. my shitbox to yours
mine was made in 83 so its fair.
What's your go to car wash and interior/exterior cleaning tools and chemicals youp refer on your car?
I use a lot of Meguiars because it's what I started with.
Never clayed my car before, is it a meme?
>never clayed my car
Your whole life is a mistake if you've never clayed before wax.

Blame the troll threads for forcing the better but slow posting threads off.
>>15351564
Just bought a 16-year-old car. I plan to wash it, clay bar it, and then wax it. Anything else I should do to bring out the finish and protect it from further damage?
Does your ideal dream garage/collection include your current vehicle(s)?
Tell the truth.
Yes, even though my car is not only not worth collecting but probably worth burning to some.
Its still my car though and if i could i would preserve it as long as possible just to show people what i originally started out with. also..

>and pic related
I would say yes
>>15351299
Nah.
I wouldn't know what to do all the extra seats.
Budget: $15k
Wants: Bluetooth/Leather interior/Decent handling
Model: 2004 or newer
20 MPG preferred but a little lower won't kill me.
Best sporty sedan I can get?
>>15351156
I believe you can get a first gen Cadillac CTS-V in that range.
>>15351172
Not in any decent condition or near my price point.
Also what's the insurance on that thing, a gorrillion?
>>15351176
It's a Cadillac sedan with a naturally aspirated V8 and was bought primarily by boomers. I can't imagine insurance is too expensive.
When will Cadillac finally be put out of its misery? Nobody buys these shitboxes!
Also good job /o/. You were wrong AGAIN!
Just look at these numbers.
>first 3 months of production
>expecting the CT6 to sell in volume outside china
>make objectively better product than bmw, with the exception of some interior quality
>nobody buys it because it doesn't have a bmw badge
i weep for the automotive industry
Hey /o/ Anyone go out scrapping? If so post some of the stuff you found.
>at a family gathering
>cleaning out grandma's barn
>take her old busted barbecue out to the road
>uncle bets my dad $10 it'll still be there when we all leave
>I get it to the road
>it's gone before I get back to the barn
No, because I dont have a meth problem.

a thief like you stole my minibike
get a real job you failure
Has anyone here driven a classic huge American late 50s beast? What is it like to drive those things? A car that large with no electronics must be somewhat difficult to drive, right?
Yes, my boss has a 57 Chev pillarless. It drives fine, steering wheel is on the wrong side though.
You get use to it fairly quickly.
I prefer manual brakes as I feel power brakes are too sensitive.
Most came with power steering but with a large wheel, it doesn't feel much different except when moving at slow speeds.
Ive driven an early 60s chev. Great other than city parking. Slow as fuck with the 6.
