Last thread wasnt planned and went under. I'd be down for a KC meet on Friday night if not early-ish Saturday morning. I'm in OP, anyone else available?
>>14191241
Saturday morning sounds pretty cool
>>14191361
If we have the best winter drivers then I'm afraid to live anywhere else. I gotta work at 2 on Saturday if we can meet up sometime around 8 or 9 that morning that would work best for me. Honestly though if that doesn't work I'm cool with just dropping in for a bit before I have to work
I would show up in my WRX. Any time on Friday or Saturday would work for me.
Some one please tell me there are pictures of this place.
Does anyone know the story?

They seem to tell the story here in the video although it's a little too /x/ for my taste and I'm having a hard time listening to these fags without imagining them making out off cam with their matching Vanilla Ice haircuts.

>making out off cam
I'm sure they've done more than that.
All over the hood of that little truck.

Looking at this 1970 chevelle SS clone, 454 engine. Is this a good deal at $17k?
Thanks

You are going to leave a trail of fluids and parts.
>>14190986
Say i swapped it to a 12 bolt?
>>14191156
Take the $2k for that, another $2k for the trans swap, and another $2k for the disc break conversion, and then buy a real one. Or save your money and don't buy a clone.
My friend is offering me an 89 240sx shell for $400. It has the ka24e motor with it but needs a head gasket. Would I be able to buy it for $400 and then flip it for more selling the shell and motor separate or just part it out?
it has the stock bumper too
>>14190854
Buy it.
If it's not completely fucked with rust or wrecked you could probably sell it as is for a grand
>>14190854
You could probably squeeze close to $2k out of it if you part it carefully and don't allow yourself to get skull fucked.
Post your Gs

Have you guys seen pedestrians start to use the street when there's a sidwalk on the road right next to them? I'm starting to see this more and more often and wondering if you guys have any experiences with this.

I haven't noticed in my area. But I also live in an area that built bike lanes when there are no cyclists just to be cool like the neighboring county
I live in Baltimore and there are billboards up about pedestrian awareness since its such a common occurrence. They try to paint it as the drives fault, the one I can remember reads "pedestrians don't just walk away" and has a picture of an old white guy with tire tread marks across his face. In reality its junkies who just dart into the street across four lanes of traffic.
I was coming down a 4 lane section with a median and there was a dude with his wife and two kids (all looking rough). I'm coming down at a decent speed and he starts bolting out...

What are some tiny ass vans I can get in the US?
>>14190661
You can import a kei van
>>14190661
What size do you wear?
>>14190661
Mazda mpv? Its sorta small
Why do people compare the GTR and Corvette when the GTR is almost 10 years older?
The corvette is supposed GM's fastest car, and it can barely keep up with a car made 10 years ago, thats embarrassing desu senpai
>>14190643
>2008 - 2013 ≠10
the asshurt is real
>>14190701
Well by the time the R36 comes out there will be a C8 Corvette

Greetings /o/
I have recently picked up a 88 civic which has the OG cassette player. It works and all but I wouldnt mind upgrading the audio. I dont want to ruin the looks of the interior by putting some flashy unit in there.
Is it possible to keep the cassette player and maybe hide a headunit in the glove box or something?
Maybe even run a aux to a amp to the speakers?
Any ideas would be nice :)
Pic is totally unrelated
OG? Original gangster?

REAL NIGGA SHIT SON

Yes
Are all Brits completely oblivious of the fact that Vauxhall don't actually produce a single car?
>>14190584
same deal with holden here in australia
there's a surprisingly high number of people here who seem to think that holden actually make cars apart from the commodore

I wish GM wouldn't fuck Opel over all the time. They would be the best german car maker but GM is scared of them

Right /o/,
Looking for a new car
Narrowed it down to the following five that are in my price range;
2013 Suzuki Swift Sport
2013 Honda Jazz Si
2015 Renault Twingo Dynamique
2011 Skoda Fabia vRS
2009 Abarth 500
Anyone have any experience with them? I'm worried about the reliability of the Skoda and the Abath, both would be around 40K miles.
My Clio 197 is becoming increasingly more expensive to keep on the road, and I'd like to start saving a bit more money for the future. It has to be more efficient than the Clio, don't...

The only thing I see worth your time is the jazz si
>>14190315
I'd go for either the Swift or the Abarth 2bh
Honda Jazz SI
How is this even a question
How does /o/ feel about the Honda Civic G23 VTEC engine swap? I have the technical knowledge to take it on, but i am not familiar with the pros and cons / biggest challenges of the whole build. I was planning on putting it into a sixth generation Civic EX.
Dies or blows up more often than not. Apparently building engines is hard. Lots of bad head gasket and spun bearings. Check the H2B and F2B Facebook group for details. Might as well go K for the effort it takes
>>14190280
>Apparently building engines is hard
Kek
>>14190250
Well one of the biggest cons would be weight. I believe those are the heaviest 4 cyl engines that Honda makes at over 500lbs.
>China markets in freefall
>World markets beginning to do the same
You know that that means?
It will be CASH4CLUNKERS TIME again.
GM will need to get helped out of their misery AGAIN.
Most other brands will probably have problems too.
So, hug your shitboxes and enjoy the current shitbox market.
You probably know how it turned out for hundreds of thousands of old (even mint condition) cars the last time and the next time will probably get really nasty.
The American economy is relatively strong at the moment, new car sales are still high. You're over reacting.
>>14190212
>You probably know how it turned out for hundreds of thousands of old (even mint condition) cars the last time and the next time
will probably get really nasty.
Yeah, nothing happened. Too old they didn't qualify, too valuable and no one turned them in for lol $2000. People still buying into the myth of clash for clunkers.
I think you may be overreacting just a tad bit.
That said, there probably will be a serious financial issue in China within the next few years, and if you haven't already gone full retard with your finances, you should hold off on that for about one more decade or so.
Also be sure not to live in California or anything, because when the market tumbles in China, they'll show the world that wonderful high-tech military they've been building.
And if you're worried about them coming to take your cars, there are probably far more serious matters...
