What does /o/ think of the Acura ILX?
>>13959264
I confess, I don't really think about it. I believe I had a few thoughts about it back in 2009.
>>13959264
literally a civic for those who dont want to be seen in a civic. still a decent car though
I got one. I like it. It's not really a Civic (although the 2016 Civic gets a hell of a lot closer to the ILX than the 2015 model did).
Main advantage is they threw the TLX engine in the 2016 ILX because of how fucking awful the older ILX engine was.
It's got a decent value/price ratio. You're kidding yourself if you think it's anything other than entry-level luxury but for the price compared to other entrants you get a hell of a lot (a similarly spec'd A3 would be ~38k).
Pros:
* Good enough engine
* Reliable as fuck
*...

Why would you be jealous of an obviously inferior car?

Will people in 20 years laugh and cringe about this kind of styling the same as people do about the late 80's early 90's trim designs, stickers and so on?
Or will this shit still be considered OK this time because "muh ironic design"?
>>13959197
I'd drive that, as long as it's kept clean.
I don't care how bizarre someone's design tastes are; I'd rather ride in a a tacky car than a dirty car.
>>13959232
Dirty cars are awesome, kill yourself wallstreet
I kinda miss when neon and that shit was cool.
I still want to get a second car to nitro up.

Heisenberg. And because we both know who wears the pants in this relation ship.. bitch.
Alright, so I was entertaining a dream by windowshopping GM crate engines and I noticed something while reading the LSX's description
>the LSX454 is good for about 620 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque, or about 580 hp and 600 lb-ft with fuel injection.
How does the horsepower drop when you switch from boomer-tier carbs to 21st-centruy fuel Injection? Especially on an LS engine which was meant to be fuel injected in the first place? Is my rather basic understanding of engines overlooking something?
>>13959096
are you serious?
Please say you're trolling the people who love "boomer tier" carbs...
>>13959096
fuel injection and carburetors make really close to the same peak hp, fi just helps for under the curve. EFI probably makes less hp in this instance due to to runner length and intake manifolds.
>>13959096
at WOT, carbs, SFI and BFI all are basically just dumping fuel as fast as they can. There is no real improvement in ideal testing conditions going EFI or carb. There is also the theory that venturi effect can create better atomization at a specific flow rate, compared to forced injection of the fuel. But it is such a small span that its never worth arguing over.
in general, Carb over EFI is not going to really matter for power. It will affect the DD ability of the car without retuning. And the carb obviously...

Anyone here have a Grom?
How are they?
what do you want one for, first bike? not a good idea even if you are license restricted. dick around second bike? great.
Mechanic/tool thread, post your boxes, tools, complain about flat rate, complain about hourly, etc.
Anyone been into Sears for the tool sale that normally goes through December? Any other black Friday sales anywhere else?
Also, anyone have experience with Precision Instruments split beam style torque wrenches? I believe they are the same as the Snap On split beams. Thinking about grabbing one in 1/2"
Got this one a few years back for my garage. I like it. The 30" deep drawers are really nice. Always been a fan of the stereotypical British racing green.
>>13958869
The PI and Snap-on torque wrenches are identical. I've used a PI 1/2 for 4-5 years now, no complaints at all.
i throw all my tools on the ground or in open boxes
lmao at people who spend more time and money on stupid shit than actually wrenching
The up-coming Bugatti Chiron without any camouflages .....
Well. It's not AS ugly.
when you think things can't get worse. Bugatti makes a new car.

For some reason, this thing just looks fed up with it's competators. I feel like it would just be mumbling under it's breath all the time.

I wish the Porsche whale tail existed on the newer models. I think it'd look fantastic.
They don't need the tails anymore, it's evolution.

Best affordable tuner cars?
I just want to learn how to work on cars and hopefully build a project car in my spare time.
old rwd cars.
miata, 90s bmws, various jap shit.
dont waste your time on a fwd car.
the older you go, generally the cheaper and easier to mod.
>>13958297
Read the fucking sticky.
>>13958297
Lesson 1.
FWD and RWD don't matter, it's preference
Should I get one of these? I hear the LT1 is pretty powerful and I can pick one of these bad boys up for under 1000 in pretty decent shape.
Unpopular opinion, but I think it actually looks good for it's age.

Watched my very first jalopnik video tonight.
>this is the face of modern auto journalism
god help us. this guy looks like he knows more about arguing over world of warcraft racial bonuses than he does driving a car.
Who told you jalopnik people are actual journalists? They're more like trying to be ones.

So what the fuck have you done except shitpost on /o/, OP?
