Literally anything on craigslst
Hello /o/,
What are your opinions on buying an E30 as my first car to maintain completely DIY? I have been doing a lot of research and it looks like the car is well documented, parts are plentiful and it is not as completed as newer BMWs are.
I really like what these cars look like and heard great things about the driving experience. I am specifically looking at the 325i and 318i models between 1985-91.
>>14315750
*complicated
get an e36 instead, a little more reliable and parts are easier to come by
e30 is great though, i just always recommend an e36 for a first bmw
It is entirely doable. M20 is the more desirable engine for DD imo.
I would suggest the first things you do for a new one
>timing belt kit
>new radiator (do not cheap out and buy nissens!)
>cooling system refresh (new hoses)
>ICV clean or replacement
>coolant temp sensors replacement
>fuel filter replacement
>check your TPS
>take apart the AFM sensor and clean it
>new o-rings and clean out the fuel injectors
I DD an e30 325i so let me know what other questions you might have.
also >>14315836 isn't a terrible suggestion. although I'd try and get a later model
How difficult/expensive would it be to put a V6+turbo in an MR2?
Has anyone done this? What were the results?
>>14315700
thats fucking stupid
>>14315700
v6 is literally the worst engine layout
it does literally nothing right

Why did Rally never take off in America?
I mean, its a massive empty fucking continent aside from the coasts.
But it was so bad that Peugot pulled out and I don't think Lancia ever bothered to offer their cars
Why?
As pretentious as it sounds it is one of the purest motorsports. You can go in with your daily driver, FWD,RWD,AWD and you will still compete if you're skilled. Even if it's a landscape thing where there's too much flat scape, that still doesn't make sense because there's still rallycross.
Why does everyone here romanticize street racing and track days more than rally? Why'd it never catch on? What's in our culture that prevented it?
Too dangerous. Think of the childruns
because NASCAR FAGGOT MURRRRRRRRICA GOFAST
>What's in our culture that prevented it?
faggots
>new GTR will drive itself around the track
>new Z will be a crossover
is there any brand more cucked than nissan right now?
Is it bad if I hope the new Z is a crossover just so my 370z retains its value?
>>14315143
>retain its value
it will be the z33 all over again
What if the new Z isn't a crossover
what if z is expanded as a sort of performance lineup in Nissan
And what if, just maybe, OP is a dense cockmongling faggot?
Whats it like to DD one of these?
What kind of mileage did you get out of a full tank?
Getting bored of my commuter car.
>Whats it like to DD one of these?
It's comfy, you'll have no power and everybody will think you're a cop
>What kind of mileage did you get out of a full tank?
Look elsewhere if you don't want to pay V8 gas costs for I4 power.
>>14315105
Had one for 6 years and 300,000 miles. They're solid reliable cars that are comfy as fuck and cheap for everything. Gas mileage wasn't great (24mpg or so) but it's a great car otherwise.
>>14315105
i dont give a fuck what anyone says
you will never get over 18mpg *city* in one of those
Which one should I get? Budget is about 15k and I need 4 doors. These are the two cars I've narrowed it down to.
SHO Pros:
>better gas mileage
>better interior
>transmission is less of a slush box
>can get a lower mileage one for less
SHO Cons:
>uglier exterior
>worse sounding engine
G8 GT Pros:
>dat glorious v8 rumble
>better exterior styling
>rwd
G8 GT Cons:
>gas mileage
>uglier interior
bls help

bumping so hard for this thread
Anyone know much about the Ver7 sti wheels? Are they forged or cast? Some guy in my area wants to trade for 17 inch stock 11 wrx wheels.
>>14314189
i say avoid them regardless
Subaru gold wheel: 0/10 would not bang
Why do people do this?
>>14313861
because drift missile
>>14313870
What does a stuffed toy hanging from bumper have anything to do with drifting?
>>14313861
Shakotan guys used to use stolen subway handles hanging off their tow hooks to show off how low their car was. Stancefags picked it up and it evolved into hanging a toy.
this car sucks
>>14313381
Prepare for hell.
>>14313381
Yep, basically

Holy shit it's no longer satire
Yeah because boring cars can't go 100mph

RIP in piece
>38% of people voted "yes"
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
Didn't see a thread, but what does /o/ think of the Focus RS?
It seems to be getting rave reviews. I'm considering buying one. While buying new isn't the best idea it seems like production will be limited which should help it maintain value over the years.
I'm hyped for it but I'm going to wait a bit to see how its reliability looks like. The AWD system seems pretty complex
>>14312396
>hoonigan mememobile
40k for a focus is ridiculous. Why not buy an alpha camaro?
>>14312565
Visibility and pracicality come to mind.
Also,

How does /o/ keep the rust off of their cars, especially in the winter with all of the shitty salt everywhere?
Do you just spray the underside of your car once a week?
>>14312305
Live in a not so shitty place
>>14312305
the south will rise again
I don't
I'm thinking of buying a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X MR Touring as a "Mature Daily Driver".
Main reasons are I'm getting older and while I've driven manuals most of my life (I've owned 16 cars), I want something comfortable, but still can have fun with.
The MR Touring model offers the same AWD and turbocharged sedan package that we all know and love, but it adds TC-SST transmission (no clutch pedal), heated leather seats, sunroof, great audio, some sound deadening, and finally gets rid of that huge wing.
My question for my br/o/thers is what are some things I should look out for in Evo X's? What are the overall costs of ownership? Anyone here own one? Would a good alternative be a Ralliart? Are there any good alternatives in general?
Look at the Golf R and S3, alternatively a CPO B8 S4.

Hahahaha they scream boy racer to the max
