WHAT THE FUCK ARE THESE WHEELS? WHY?
>>15096628
the wheel to booty ratio is off the charts
>>15096628
>subcompact sedan
absolutely disgusting
>>15096628
because they're making econoboxes pigfat now, not simple and practical (more balanced), and not to mention overcomplicatedly ugly.
>back in January be on cell phone on my way after work to go get some pussy
>get pulled over give cop my license
>find out my license was suspended for not providing insurance at an accident a year before

>honestly not bragging
I've had my license for 3 years and have yet to be ticketed.
I don't drive like too much of an ass. But eh.
I've been pulled over because my headlight was out on my POS 98 civic.
-knock on wood-
hey /o/, its baout time i replace my brakes, and while im in there replacing my brake pads ( Hawk HP+) and lines thinking about getting dimpled/slotted rotors but i dont know if they actually give any braking beneifits, anyone on /o/ have experience with "non-blank" rotors?
>>15094614
If you're not tracking your car there is absolutely no reason to buy anything other than vented (blank) rotors.
>>15094614
Both of my cars have drilled and slotted but only because I do a lot of commuting downhill and it keeps my brakes from warping

A thread for our beloved econobox pocket rockets. Talk experiences, ask for advice and questions and generally shitpost about the Fiesta ST.

>Abarth Master Race Edition
Which modern hot hatch is the truest to what the hot hatch is and why is it the Abarth?
>What is a "Hot Hatch"?
A Hot Hatch is a manufacturer produced, performance oriented variant of a standard hatchback, designed for improved handling, increased top speed, acceleration and generally enhance the driving experience.
>Are all Hot Hatches FWD?
No. Whilst most Hot Hatches are FWD, some are AWD or even RWD.
>Isn't FWD shit?
No. Just because you can't get the arse out by stamping on the accelerator doesn't mean you can't have fun.
>Aren't Hot Hatches just for Europoors?
No; with the launch of the Fiesta and Focus ST to joining the MS3 and Abarth in the US, it seems like the Hot Hatch is beginning to take off on the other side of the Atlantic, but Europoors definitely have more choice.
>Is the Fiesta ST actually good?
The Fiesta ST is one of the best small hot hatches on offer at the minute; so yeah they're pretty good.

>tfw 1.4L 16v without turbo
Miss my ep3 but looking at this guy, real LHD type r
>>15090062
I had an EP3 for a bit. Was pretty fun. People always laugh about VTEC, but it was actually noticeable in a Type-R, so
So /o/ what do you have planned for the near future? Whether it be maintenance, mods, wrapping your shit around a tree, late night cool air cruises, or what have you it is welcome.
I'm swapping this teeny tiny turbo onto my Thunderbird. The other turbo took a shit on me.
I have plenty planned for the near future... Once I have money.

you know you can just post a thread about your project you don't have to turn it into a half baked "what did you do to your car today" thread.
Got a job making roughly 50K a year, Not enough to go out and buy a corvette or anything of that nature, but what fun car can i buy?
I live in Canada and currently drive an econobox worth about 5K, Don't have many Hobbies except gaming and I got abit of debt i want to pay off. I have no brand loyalty and i'm open to just about anything, the higher the horse power the better.
What should i get? What year? What options etc...
pic unrelated.
>>15095679
No more than 20% of yearly income if you make under 100k in my opinion.
>>15095745
15K total... hmm, not to much fun there. Some infinity G35s maybe, old GTI?
>>15095679
How much do you have for a down payment? How much other debt?
My mema needs to go car shopping, and since I'm her caretaker I'll be the one driving her. We need to find a car that is comfy for her, enjoyable for me, and rides soft... So we were going to test drive 12-15 cars in total. How do I go about this without having the dealership hate us? Just be kind and explain the situation?
>>15091691
yes but they will expect you to allow them to rape your wallet afterwards
just get a lexus ls430

Tbqh I've never had to gap a ring, it's always been in spec.
For what reason would one give the ring a bigger gap?

Hello people of /o/
I am in need of finding a car that makes a statement to other drivers.
When people see me I want them to think "Wow.. this guy is such a massive faggot, I think I need therapy."
When my car stops at a red light, it will show that I do not care about automobiles or anything related to them.
The police would take one look and not even waste their own time writing me a ticket because of how retarded my car is.
