I want to get a new navigation system for my 2009 Volkswagen Jetta... Any recommendations? I mostly want it for Bluetooth and to just be more modern looking. Not really willing to spend over 200 but if there's any good reason to then I will.
Use a map, nigger. No girl is going to fuck you because she likes your car stereo. No girl is looking at your screen size and thinking 'I bet that is how big his duck is'.
If you want chicks don't waste your money on stupid shit like this and buy a motorcycle.

I didn't say anything until now because i figure if everyone else was going along with it then it must be a new maymay so..
Why do people keep re-posting this? is it a new maymay? if only this guy knew how much attention his miata and his skidz are getting on /o/ i'm sure he'd entertain a story or two.

is this a good alternative to A jeep wrangler? My family owns a farm thats real rough and i kinda need/want a good 4x4 that could also pass as a city car (gas isn't too much of a problem desu) but the problem is there isnt a jeep vendor around here so if i bought one and it broke i would need to pay for them to send a mechanic and also to pay for his stay

it's not a good DD if you spend any amount of time in your car.
Shut up and buy a civic for <5k and a YJ or TJ for 5-10k

It has decent resale value though, i know the interior can be upgraded but im not sure i would bother with the price.
I would really like the jeep desu but its real pricey where im from, even with a recent MASSIVE price drop it still goes around what is 47000$ for the 4 door with a few bells and whistles, i got intrigued by the fj cause all the doctors where i do my residency at seem to own One, altiugh desu i heard a few say they regret getting one after they heard kf the price drop o.

Is this the future of combustion engines?
>tfw future son will be driving a turbocharged camless manual saab in 2050
Could be the future. We'll see.
Personally I think its that plus electrically controlled turbos, like in F1.

I have bad news for you anon
Thats pretty cool.
switch between 2 and 4 stroke, diesel and gas, shut off cylinders, shut off valves, can derate or uprate on the fly.
The Maserati MC12 is the most beautiful looking, best sounding and all around the most outstanding vehicle ever created in automotive history. The car is literally perfect in every way possible.

Ugly front AND back end. Don't even get me started on the cockpit vent on the roof.
It's a Ferrari enzo with a body kit
you've never seen the porsche carrera gt
or maybe you just need to come to your senses
What does /o/ think of eco boost? Specifically on the Ford focus RS. I'm thinking of getting one once it comes to America, but I don't want to fall for the Ford meme. I was thinking of getting the STI, but I've never had experience working on boxer engines.

tl;dr what does /o/ think of eco boost AND Ford Focus RS?
ecoboost = turbo ford motor
what else is there to comprehend
do you like turbos
then you'd like ecoboost
do you like hektik skids
then you'd like the rs
>>14953940
Good luck finding one that's not 5k over msrp minimum. 2.3l is unproven, wait a year or 2 till you know all the mustangs and RS are not shitting themselves.
Sti has ancient motor that takes 2 years to build boost.
Simple answer: want car now, get a WRX.
Has more torques than a sti, makes boost faster, cheaper, able to find one and at msrp if you look around.
I hate 4 door cars, but I've been looking around alot recently for the most fun for the money I can get. Considering...

Why are white vehicles gross?
>>14953696
Because it looks like they gave up after the primer stage
Dirty white looks way worse than dirty black
Fleet vehicles are white
Very few vehicles can pull off white and even if they do they'd still look a 1000x times better in a different color.

What's your opinion on this car is 27k with 70k miles. 6 speed manual. The extended 6 years carmax warranty is 4K
I'm a making a mistake
>>14953660
Why the fuck would you ever spend $32000 on a fucking car with 70k the?
Why wouldn't you just finance a newer car?
Especially a fucking bmw with 70k miles, that's like walking through a minefield with a blindfold on.

So I've bought an NA not too long ago. It's my second car and I got into the whole thing way to spontaneous, overseeing the rust and other things. The car has been trated poorly but I'm willing to give it the love it deserves.
I intend to repaint it since it's in absolute shit condition. I was thinking that if I'm gonna repaint it, I might as well paint it in a different color than red.
Since the repair and the paint is gonna swallow all of my monies, I'm gonna have to do further things on a budget. I was thinking metallic blue, in...

This is my favorite color OP maybe a Laguna blue color would be cool too. Are you going to be painting this yourself or paying a professional?
start off making sure it runs well and wont break down on you, then any body work it needs it, then paint. stick with red, oem color is best color unless you have your mind set on what you want out of it appearance. fuck with interior mods after it becomes a pussy wagon on the outside
I've got a head unit question. I have pic related and i'm trying to install it in my 2002 WRX.
I got a Subaru wiring harness and matched all the wires except for the orange 'illumination' wire, as i've been told that it causes issues.
I get power, but no sound. From reading up on the problem, it sounds like I need to connect a 'remote amp start' wire. There is one on the head unit harness, but not one on the Subaru harness I bought. I can see the blue/white wire, which is designated as the remote amp wire on the head unit connection...

Found a chart of the pins in the connectors. According to this, there actually is no remote amp on wire in the factory harness.
So what could I be missing?
If memory serves, you don't have a remote wire in the stock harness. You may need to tap into the ignition wire, in the ignition of course. Or, you could tap into the wire that runs from your radio fuse in your fuseblock. You just need something that's 12V that turns on when you turn on your key.
>>14954252
So since my cigarette lighter up front is only on when the key is turned, I could wire the head unit to that power source using the remote wire from the head unit's harness?

Waifu-fags die in a tire fire.
Spent most of my day in the garage sanding and priming bits out of my engine bay, and then made a new battery tiedown for mad weight reduction. Now I'm making burgers for dinner.
I hate going out and socializing so I just stay at home like a loner. I'll go back out after dinner and work on the tiedown some more, and then since it's cleared up I'll go out and finish painting my intercooler pipes
>Why are you sat at home alone on a Friday nite?
Going out in a while to eat with a few people I met at a car meet earlier this week. I was also offered a spot as a camera guy.
>Why aren't you out cruisin it 2 da meat wit ur bros or >gf?
Foul weather, meets have been canceled tonight
>What are you are car related plans for the weekend?
My fucking timing belt and a car show on Sunday.
I prefere the TARBO 4-cyl engines on these cars because it makes them lighter and handle nicer. am I an moron?
>>14953055
Not really, they'll never sound as nice as something with a 302 or 351 though, but all is good.
How much lighter is the Turbo 4cyl vs the N/A 6cyl? It's not like the 6 cylinders are bad anymore.
>>14953055
Not at all. The issue is that they're big and heavy compared to cars in that market.
Thoughts on buying a used Volkswagen diesel vehicle?
>>14952928
is it a jetta tdi?
>>14952939
yes
>>14952942
i would stay away if it's 10+ years old - i had a 2003 tdi that was really fun to drive, manual transmission was great and super responsive, and i got like 35-45 mpg, but it just got too expensive to maintain. unless you're skilled at wrenching or don't mind shelling out for repairs, i would avoid older volkswagens in general
