What width should a spoiler be? The car I'm getting(pic related) is 72.4 in, and most universal spoilers are like 57 in. This seems way to thin, but I've never been a ricer before, so maybe I'm just being dumb.

What? They look cool!

I'm sorry, it's not bait I just wanted to ask a question. Sometimes I think i seem sarcastic but I'm too retarded to talk better.

It varies from car to car, if there's a 3000gt forums or a Mitsubishi car forums I'd ask there. I'd also advise against buying a 3000gt, unless you have fucking mad stacks.
Are these good cars?
The only concern I have with them is they have kind of terrible gas mileage for this class of vehicle

Its a Kia.

would i be a retard to daily drive a convertible in canada?

Why couldn't you?
If the top is still in good condition and the heat works, the only reason why you couldn't is if you are a shitty driver in the snow.
>>14556883
does the stop really work well in the winter in terms of keeping heat insulated?
>>14556891
It heats up really fast but also dissipates heat really fast.
Alright, this is a bit of a new idea I had. I'm currently selling my car, and according to the site I'm using, I've had about 100-120 views of my car.
The thing is I've gotten no calls or messages at all in the 2 days since I've put it up.
So, with storytime over, what do you look for in a car ad /o/? What kind of pictures do you look for, what information is important to you, what grabs your attention (aside from a low price)?
>>14556404
Also, just as a intro to my way of doing it, here's what I've done:
3 pictures of the exterior, 2 3/4 front views from either side, and 1 rear view
1 picture of the interior taken from the backseat
1 picture of the engine bay showing it in it's entirety.
The site I'm using allows a maximum of 5 pictures per ad so that's the best I can do.
I've listed all the options my car has, listed the mileage, shown that it is registered and has inspection up to date. I put up...

Most of the views you get as soon as you put up the ad are from dealerships or scouts who monitor CL all the time looking for a car to flip.
Just be patient mate, someone will come along.

Yeah, I've been getting that a lot lately, although you're definitively right. The thing is I test drove a miata the other day and the guy is also selling on the same site, and I want to buy that car so much. It's super clean with 75k miles and no bullshit done to it.I'm sorta afraid he'll sell before I can though.
I just got this 1985 Mazda 323. It's my first car.
Don't know much about cars in general let alone old ones. It's in great condition inside and out, but I'm wondering is there anything in particular I should look at for with older cars?
I want to install a 6 speaker sound system and amp + a sub, too. Anyone know how to go about doing so in an older car?
Anything rubber is going to need replacement soon.
Looks like a cozy car though.
>>14556191
Love it.
Love everything about it.
Check bushings and gaskets.
Make sure the alternator can handle a car audio system that you're planning.
AND KEEP IT CLEAN!!!!!
I will find you and kick your nuts if you ruin this car

Alright, what do I need to get to read the error codes on an ABS system?
It came on after I was washing the shit out of my undercarriage and I thought it would dry out and go off, but now it's 2 days later and it's back on. Haven't checked fuses yet but let's assume I have. it went off a day later than came back on.
'05 Focus.
>drive to stoplight
>it goes off
Maybe loose cable
>>14555262
Pull out ABS-connections, blow clean and spray some WD40 in them. Let dry before reconnecting

A factory computer tool, or one of those ones garages buy because they're poor and don't actually care about your car.
GM is going to unveil the Corvette c7 grand sport today.
http://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c7-general-discussion/3787346-did-oliver-gavin-just-announce-the-c7-grand-sport-2.html
It's also been rumored that Chevy is working on a mid engine Corvette
That's 1 new confirmed Corvette model plus another on the way
When the c6 grand sport came out it killed z06 sales, what is GM thinking by doing it again
>>14554559
Can't afford it, don't care.
>>14554559
>Geneva
I know the Detroit autoshow has lost much of it's clout, but revealing a Corvette in Geneva? Europeans don't care about the Corvette.

The GS was always a parts bin special. This Z06 kinda shat the bed against Nissan and then Dodge.
Say you're screaming down a straight in 4th, then come to a 2nd gear hairpin.
Do you shift from 4th to 3rd, then 2nd, or straight to 2nd?
4th to 3rd to 2nd because It's fun
>>14554331
I put in the clutch, brake with my right foot down to high 2nd territory, then put it in 2nd and let off the clutch.
>what is an automatic
Aggravated?
Not really. The guy knows what he got.

Is Nissan ever going to release a affordable rwd car? I know that the IDX isnt happening but therebhas to be something besides that gay as fuck Z concept.
Whats holding back nissan from taking back the sports car market? Is it renault?
>>14551836
>gay as fuck Z concept
Whats wrong with the Z series?
>>14551885
Nothing at all, but THIS. I love Zs
Its just disgusting
>>14551836
without renault nissan wouldn't exist now
and they still made the new GTR
problem is cheap RWD sport car market is small and they have a product the 370Z yeah it's old but still it's doing ok against the BRZ/GT86 and the fordstang ecoboost
i think they don't feel the need to bring the hype back since they got the GTR
i don't think renault would oppose since most of this market is not their speciallly since they're only in europe
i think the reduce cost to max policies...

How much power does my car need at the wheels to be 4chan /o/ fast?
>>14551830
At least 200hp.
Good, and how heavy does pigfat start at?
>>14551830
400hp with that bulk
>>14551841
it's gotta be 2000kg
Sup /o/
My stepdad just offered me his 3rd gen MR2 for $100, provided I get it insured.
It's all stock except for a professionally installed body kit and an aftermarket stereo.
Here's the catch: it's on it's 3rd transaxle. It's currently under warranty from the mechanic that replaced it twice before, and this is number 3 in the span of just a few years. This latest time it sat at the shop for 3 months before the mechanic could even find a used transaxle that could be rebuilt, forget about new or aftermarket.
So, should I pick...

Hardtop is worth more then car
>3rd transaxle
>daily driver
>>14551203
Even if it's on it's last legs, $100 is a steal and I could easily make profit just selling off some of the big parts and selling the rest for scrap to fund a new daily once it dies for real. Just don't know if it's worth my time.
What will happen if you run a non flexfuel car on e85?
>>14550915
You run lean as fuck because your fuel system can't keep up with demand.
You can google this shit, you lazy cunt.
>>14550925
Did google it couldnt really find what i was looking for, other then people not having problems other then cel coming on due to less emissions??? And that car was a prius lol
>>14550915
It will eat through the rubber.
Where do you draw the line between "pigfat" and not pigfat?
>>14550551
"things I like" versus "things I don't like"
If it weighs more that 3,000lbs with you in it, it's probably 'pigfat'.
Personally, 3200 all up.
3000 is thunder thighs.
>>14550561
we agree!
