No
its shit
At least it isn`t the Toyota meme car.
So, do standard brakes have an advantage or acceptable tradeoff over ABS brakes? This goes for both cars and bikes, on road and off road.
>>15423307
quicker response time
>>15423321
lolno
>>15423307
for spirited driving there are theoretical situations where you would want to lock your breaks although it's "traction control" that really takes the fun out
>>15423307
you can push them closer to the grip limit of the tires than ABS can.

Will you make more cars like the M2 in the future and return to your roots of making practical, fun, sports cars?
Or will you continue to pander to the growing Chinese/Indian markets by building bloated tech loaded isolated luxury cars in a fruitless effort to compete with Audi and Mercedes Benz?
And why do you guys obsess over using plastic/bakelite and rubber in the weirdest fucking places even places they shouldn't be used. Seat gears, water pump impellers, clutch/brake pedal bushings, balljoint cups, etc. WHY? Is it because the EU mandates a certain % of the car as being biodegradable?
>>15423250
Who cares? New cars are shit. Bmws especially since they don't have dipsticks.
So. Aut/o/,
I have a question. I have a stock bore 440. 4.320" bore (IIRC). The bore is still good, same with the pistons.
Now, I want to use thinner head gaskets, but the only thinner gaskets I can find are for 4.350" bores. Could I use these? Or am I basically stuck with factory thickness head gaskets?
>>15423215
You're stuck with using the correct part.
If I remember correct, most head gaskets have a larger bore anyways so that it doesn't squish into the cylinder when torqued down.
>>15423215
Factory head gaskets are steel shim types about .020 think, the usual blue composite replacement ones are 0.039-0.040
Almost every head gasket is made with a bigger than the largest overbore size though. For a 440 usually the fire ring is about 4.410. The only gaskets I know of that have exact bore sizes are Cometics, but even the thinnest ones are about .020, no thinner than the factory type.

Here we have the stereotypical mexi-truck
notice how the truck is lifted and is meant for offroad.
Offroading scares the mexican and so to retaliate against such scary endeavors he slaps on big gangsta rims with thin ass tires.
This is to ensure that not only is the truck worthless for any offroad job/fun it is now so repulsive.
The mexi-truck has similarities with the mexi-grandma car.
Both share retarded rims on a vehicle that shouldnt have them
They are usually "spinnas" as this lets the local mexican girls know that this homie is "Dope as a fly is high"
Please post examples of mexi-vehicles
or niggering of vehicles
We should have this thread as an educational experience for future generations
>>15423204
Ah yes
The small truck of "EYY I NEDE TO FEED MY 9 KIDS ESE"

How to deal with people who put rotas on their cars?
When I am driving along and I see a thieving scumbag poser, who doesn't care about the car industry and they pull up next to me and say "Nice car" how do you deal with it.
I normally try ignore them but sometimes I turn my nose up at them and sometimes even give them the finger.
that's a pretty cool corolla
just ignore them op, dont be a cunt
even tho its b8 the fact that I know theres ppl like this out there cracks me up
>>15421069
They are the ones being a cunt by driving on rotas.
Is it a good idea to buy a car with a broken AC? The owner says he replaced the AC. How much in repair costs am I looking at?
>>15419397
*replaced the AC compressor
>>15419397
no cause then you'll feel stupid for doing so
If he isn't fixing it for the sale, it's probably a broken compressor or something big. Just take $400 off what you'd offer for one with working AC.
The Godmachine takes ANOTHER win despite being slower than the Corvette's in qualifying.
>>15419076
How can V8's even compete?
>>15419076
>What is sandbagging
>>15421133
They've had three bop changes to the Ford GT reducing boost and adding weight making it significantly slower than ever before. The Corvette had a .4 restrictor reduction and weight removed making it nearly as fast as it was at Daytona. It finished seconds in front of the Corvette. Sit your dumb fucking ass down and shut the fuck up.
What would be a good engine to learn how to rebuild and work on? I was thinking a 4AGE because it's very simple while still being a good engine, like the Mazda BP
>>15418571
Yes
Best engine to learn on is the best one for you man. One that you are interested in. Having a boring engine is like cancer. Its fun for the people around you to laugh at you for having, but is really depressing for yourself.

Why are you not traveling your country and getting /comfy/ in a campervan /o/?

How the FUCK are you supposed to pay for gas?
>>15412397
Work online in data entry. It's monotonous work, but it does pay. Well, enough for food, gas, insurance, and a little extra.
