I own two german autoragics and one murrikan automagic. The merican one doesn't have kickdown for some queer reason

Reminder that /o/ has the worst tripfags.

God if you hate tripfags so much why don't you just filter them?
So this dude is leaving base and selling this bike for 50 bucks.
Some mid 80's standard Suzuki.
No plates, no key, doesn't run.
Should I buy it for giggles?
Could be anything wrong with it really.
also, we're stationed in HI.
The title laws are a bit relaxed; as long as it isn't stolen i can keep it
yes, buy it. but thats not the pic i assume, is it?
would be a fun project to work on
>>13941907
Nah, the body and frame are both really good.
It just looks like it's been sitting for a while. Headlight is hanging on the cluster and there's mucho dust.
Worst case scenario, I have a frame for a restored or swapped engine

Dude. Slap one of these in there and I'm sold.
Is that picture of the girl on the fender like 4'5" yet proportional or something?
>he revs over 2500 at freeway speeds
Okay, breaking news, American roadcouches are geared specifically to chug along at low rpm at 65 mph, thread over, everyone go home.

>his engine has to work twice as hard to keep with old truck based engines that still lap him
>>13941429
But that's just wrong.
My 1.8 Honda is only farting out maybe 80hp at most at 2800 Rpm.
Your tree fiddy if you're lucky enough to have overdrive is capable of making 150ish donkey fucks, generating a completely unnecessary amount of power and friction at the same time at all speeds

That is pretty fucking stupid.
The EGR and the Cadillac converter are robbing power fro your engine like a fat dirty nigger in an elderly persons house. Get rid of those. The air pump is heavy and can go. The Evap system is ugly but it's not really hurting anything you could get rid of the charcoal canister to shave weight though.
Some is pretty dumb, pointless and easily removed or reworked, but some of it functions well that way and proper complete replacements are needed for any better results.
Winter is coming - how are YOU preparing your car to handle the frosty weather?

OP, your picture.
That's actually a really good idea, only problem is that I only have 1 inch screws... Do you think it would still work?

Why are you sat home alone on a friday night instead of out at the meets with your bros?
What are your car related plans for the weekend?
Remember to love you're waifu!
meets are pretty much non existant in NJ this time of year. And most recurring meets are all ricer stance fags anyways. I work all weekend so no plans.

>Why are you sat home alone on a friday night instead of out at the meets with your bros?
I just got off an 8 and a half hour shift of pushing shopping carts around in the cold.
>What are your car related plans for the weekend?
Need to make a jig to hold the sandbags at the back of the bed for the best weight distribution.

How many normies do you think walked into Mazda dealerships, bought RX-8s or RX-7s with no clue what a rotary engine is, then proceeded to drive them like a normal car?

Some rotary go their whole life without being revved beyond 1/4 to redline
A lot. That's why you can pick up a shit one for cheap, and then good examples can be pricey

I don't really have a suitable reaction image, so this will have to do. Imagine it's combined with disdainforplebs.jpg.
Fwd isn't a downside.
>>13940769
If you have your balls already cut off and no longer wearing the pants in the family.
I'd generally say it is unless you're rally or ice racing in a 2wd class. It's just always nice to have the option to steer with the throttle. A good chassis is generally more important than the drivetrain, though.

Post common myths or misconceptions to correct people.
>the new Nissan GT-R is not a skyline, the newest skyline is an Infinti Q40
>91 and 93 octane require a 91 or 93 octane tune to be used correctly, 87 is probably fine for you.
>IRS and Live rear axle have the same skip pad on the same cars.
>Dodge did not make the Viper from 2012 - 2014, SRT (Fiat Chrysler )made it, its not called a Dodge for those years

to be more clear, your statement has to be true and would correct a myth or misconception
The rotary engine is a reliable ENTHUSIASTS engine.
It's only unreliable when in the hands of a normie (changes/checks oil every three months instead of checking often, revving it instead of babying it)

I wonder where this will go
Nobodies ever gonna suck hoondais dick, OP. You trip'n .
The reason people like old Toyota of the 60s 70s 80s 90s is cause they made sick ass cars that are good platforms for heavy modification.
Nobody wants to modify fwd 90s Korean garbage accents sonatas & tiburons. They ghey.

I wonder if you could find out who his insurance company is, and offer them evidence that would get them out of paying for the BRZ for a small fee

I want to build a go kart like the one they have in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6F0sjczSFc.
I'm really confused about how they can control the speed, though. It looks like they're just using a lawn mower engine, but those have no kind of throttle control on them.
Also, they talk about having a clutch, but I don't see where it is or what purpose it serves. I've tried googling around, but I don't know what it does.
I guess just general go kart build thread. I know this isn't exactly /o/ related, but it's closer than the /osg/.
>>13940435
Good decision , OP. They say go karts have Mini Cooper handling without the failure Chrysler transmission and way to high price tag.
>>13940446
I don't know what that means. I just want to have fun in my yard and the street.
>>13940452
Well if that's what you want then don't buy a Mini Cooper. They are total shit for faggots who saw the Italian job reboot.
What did they mean by 'go kart handling'
small, light, awd
I guess
A tight steering rack and stiff suspension is what makes a car feel like 'go kart handling' to me.
>>13939986
what cooper is awd? (not counting countryman/paceman)
