You know what the fuck i hate?
Tint laws
Pic related is fine. You still got side mirrors and a clear windshield

But as soon as you have this van with 5% tint you get a fucking ticket
It doesn't make sense.

>Using thicker weight oil than what's specified by the owner's manual on high mileage engines
Good or bad?
I've heard both sides, I'm wondering what /o/ says.
>Thicker oil will help burn/leak less
or
>Thicker oil is too heavy and won't flow in engine properly, wearing it out faster
or
>Thicker oil is fine as long as you let the engine warm up
so what the fuck is it
For example, I have...

Add some fire retardant powder to the oil, the engine will stop burning oil
The oil pump can handle thick oils just fine.
My oil pressure increases when I run thicker oil. You're not going to have any issues.
If I wanted to drop a V8 into a small, light car to make a poor man's Shelby Cobra or Daytona, what car should I use?
I'd be quite set on using an aluminum SBC like an LS1, all memes aside. So far the best body I can think of is a 240Z. No convertibles please so no Miatas. A Triumph GT6 would also be cool but uncommon.
Btw this is all hypothetical. I'm not planning to actually do an engine swap anytime soon.
Triumph, but it would probably be better to just buy a replica of a Shelby
>>13935599
>putting LS1 into a 240Z
>making a fair lady a fat whore
You could probably find an RX-7, or LS swap a rolling E30 or something. If you can weld you could make a V8 beetle
>>13935607
Shelby replicas are very expensive.
CHECK 'EM!

Them satanic cuads
Sup /o/, I'm here for some financial advice and for some discussion.
Long story short, I need to buy new daily. Not sure what I want to buy yet but that's not the point of this thread.
Basically I have about 10k usd and I make about 1100 a month. I live at home and my parents pay for most of my expenses. I bank about 900 to 1000 a month. I'm supposed to be saving for when I transfer from community college to a university next winter (Jan 2016)
For this reason, I'm hesitant about dropping 4 or 5k all at once and cutting my savings in...

Buy a Corolla outright for 1200 dollars.
>>13935588
you don't think I can do better? I guess there is really no reason to spend more if it's just transportation but I would like something at least mildly fun.

I should say that if I'm going to buy a daily, I'd like 1996 or newer.

Best way to clean pussy juice out of cloth seats?
With your tongue
>>13935391
Let it dry, scrape the crust off the top, beat the fabric with a tennis racket or similar so the remaining flakes are punched out of the fabric, vacuum.
>>13935391
you can start with having a girl ride in your car
Im kinda curious, why doesnt someone design and build an all in one plug and play computer system that can compute the best way to run an engine?
It would be capable of pulling readings from all the engine sensors like coolant/oil temp and knock sensor, o2 sensor and etc. Then it would calculate the best air/fuel ratio from those readings.
So from the first start-up (from a fresh engine build and computer install) it would start the engine from a very conservative engine tune (that you set?) and from there, it would slowly advance timing until it detected the slightest...

You mean an ECU?
Also, shit like this exists: http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive/mc/efi/e-street.shtml
>>13935378
so basically every modern ecu system ever
>>13935406
>>13935430
I'm talking about some sort of aftermarket ecu that can take into account every sensor you have plugged in and then tune the engine itself. It would be able to set any sort of custom engine up with the correct tune ( assuming the hardware connected to it have the appropriate hardware to accommodate it.)
You wouldn't have to take your car to a shop as it would be able to tune it self.

Do you boys think this bad boy is worth the extra $20,000 more than a regular 5.0 GT? I currently an '05 GT and have to upgrade.
I have enough to only have to finance $10,000-$20,000~ @ 0% APR if I buy a new 5.0 with the options I want ( $39,000~ ). A GT350 with the options I want is roughly $56,000. That's a fuck ton more. I'd have to save for another 12-18 months before I can afford that. I've never driven the GT350 but I will the second my dealer gets one in. I just want to hear some rough 3rd party opinion.
I don't think so. They won't appreciate a huge amount, and unless you have a shit ton of money to blow that's an important factor.
Regular GT and upgrades if you want the speed. will end up cheaper for similar performance.

I just want to see how that 8250 redline feels like so bad man. I don't track my cars ( I don't have enough time really ) though so that's another thing I have to think about.
>>13935360
So what do you use all that power for?
>have new car
>play with nitrous
>blow up engine
>get engine replaced for free under warranty
Tell me why I shouldn't do this. There must be a reason but I can't think of one.
>>13935148
because it almost certainly violates your warranty
Because sprayong it will undoubtedly void the warranty
Some ECUs can tell the fuel grade you're using. It sure as fuck can tell of you do something retarded like that.

i don't have a picture of ur mum. oh wait, that's a refrigerator with teeth
Hey /o/ would my mostly stock recently acquired 2006 wrx with some type of aftermarket exhaust be able to beat a modified 2013 st Ford Focus hatchback that's straight piped? On the touge of course.
This would more depend on driver mod than anything.
>>13935007
Focus ST has more power but is also borderline pigfat and FWD.
would be close, depends who is the better driver.
How does this make you feel?
it makes me feel like you're an australian doing some low tier shit posting. chink moot needs to range ban you "people"
Cant really see the thunbnail. Makes me feel comfy, wouldnt mind sleeping in my car near a lake while its raining if i could stretch my body out on a comfy comforter or mattress with a pillow and thick blanket.
