ITT: Post your recent vehicle purchases and what your plans are.
Sup Br/o/thers. So, I bought a 2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS. (Coupe, 5-speed).
The previous owner said it just had a bad fuel pump (We'll see about that). He sold it to me for $1700 shipped to my door on the back of a uhaul trailer.
I plan to just do some maintenance, rust repair, swap out some parts for some old STI parts I have laying around from my last impreza project.

>he bought a car with a bad fuel pump
LMAO DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THOSE COST?
>>14740278
Looks good, solid purchase for 1700. Wanna get one soon and use all my stock wrx parts to turbo it
>>14740316
Litteraly under $200 new you fag
>>14740278
>Fix fuel pump
>Discover blown HG
Enjoy the joys of working on subies f a m
>>14740278
That car is straight up factory rice.
>>14740278
I mean 1700 is not bad for a 2 door even assuming the engine is cooked as long as the body is in good shape.
just don't expect to slap a pump into it and have it run. It will have a head gasket leak and if it got ran long a and hard with that leaking head gasket you gonna have all sorts of other issues
just paid my car note
probably own the driver door by now
Got this land barge for $800 now working on the motor taping cylinder head and installing NS300L inserts
>>14740316
You just blow in from stupid town?
Bought last Friday for 3200. AC needs to be repaired and I need to replace the timing belt since it's been years since the owner last did, but the powertrain is in great condition and it runs fine at the moment.
>>14740660
Sorry
>>14740278
Awesome, when does it arrive?
>>14740660
ls swap doggie
>>14740785
I'm considering doing that sometime far down the line. The Porsche mechanic I got a PPI for it from has two 944 track day cars, one of which he LS swapped, so I'm in good hands there.
>>14740278

>oh ok never mind not as bad as i thought
Bought a 2012 Altima 2.5S sedan 6spd manual last week (I guess they continued with MT in Canada). So far it beats my '05 civic that i traded in. Plan to drive it till i get a decent paying job, then thinking of getting a wrx.
>>14740908
Plz post interior pics now
>>14740916
ive only got a webm at the moment...it says i cant post because audio streams arent allowed?
also got some questions...I should only tow it on a flat bed since tis all time awd right? they say if you go under 20 mph for under 30 miles it shouldnt do much harm, but i know the svx trannys are already touchy. i also have the owners manual. ill see if i can scan and post some of that. its pretty interesting.
>>14740968
Flat bed tow, or put the rear wheels on dollies. Or you could remove the driveshaft.
>>14740999
driveshaft aint happening lol...its sitting in a half marsh driveway
>>14740278
>Impreza RS coupe
muh dick
I got a GS-R Integra a few weeks ago.
Haven't decided if I want to get wheels, paint, or suspension bits first.
I want some enkei SR6 rims, then to drop my car about an inch, then paint it blue. (double benefit of looking better and lowering my insurance slightly).
Planning on removing the spoiler off it soon and peeling the plastidip off the mirrors.
Dunno where to start performance-wise. I had wanted to do an exhaust but I really don't care for fartcannons, I guess I could do some headers.
I want an intercooler but I won't be running an FI setup so I'd just feel ricey.
>>14741046
>wrong pic
this one's mine, fucking same-looking cars.
>>14741046
>he thinks color affects insurance rates
>>14741055
>it actually doesn't
well hell.
still want blue.
>>14741046
A rare glimpse into the mind of a ricer
got it for $950
gonna do clutch, brakes and oil this weekend
also need to fix electrical issue with driver window
>>14741064
Let me guess: ricer official powder blue/teal
>>14741071
maybe dark powder blue.
>>14741067
a not-so-uncommon glimpse into the mind of a busrider.
>>14740546
the head gasket problem is predictable down to a science and is a once a lifetime repair, if you are gonna have a wide spread problem its a decent one to have. just factor the cost of fixing that into the price of any subi you want to buy that hasn't already had the gaskets replaced and you are golden.
>>14741054
just my o-pinion but i think integras look great stock...but i mean its your car dude do what you want. in the year 20XX finding a stock integra is gonna be near impossible
Hey guys, just purchased my first new car. 2016 FiST. I'm very happy with it so far, my other car was a 92 300zx but I keep having problems with it and needed a reliable car, still have the Z just going to work on it slowly as time goes by.
>>14741148
I mean, that's kind of the reason I'm doing really simple, easy-to-revert mods right now.
Spoiler holes are going to be plugged so they can be re-used later on.
I'm keeping the wheels and the suspension system is in need of either a completely new OEM setup or an aftermarket one, so that's really the only relevant thing.
Shit's so stock it still has a cassette player.
>>14741155
get a short shift kit and accessport asap
makes care so much more alive
>>14740278
boost...if not K24 swop
3 in exhaust
custom black and yellow paint
carbon hood (witch im getting this Sunday)
>>14741155
ford shill
>>14741175
I was thinking about doing both of those exact things first (along with window tint, vegas heat) first gear is very underwhelming without a tune atm.
>>14741169
noice, thats what i was thinking about with the SVX i just bought. maybe do a tranny/engine swap to a 5 speed and a 90s EJ20G, since the transmissions are known to go on the SVX anyway. but anymods i do, i will definetly keep the old parts because SVX parts are hard to come by and if the car ever becomes collectible im sure stock ones will have some more value.

>tfw you can't afford a new car..
Bought the miat on the left this past Saturday.
My plans for her are a full revamp that'll be shown through a YouTube channel. I won't shill for it here though. Hopefully some of you find it and like it, I plan on the channel being decently entertaining and a departure from the normal car channels.

84 mk2 supra
plan is to make this a dedicated track/autox car
trans/clutch/engine are all in good shape. just did timing belt/water pump/cam seals and rewired alternator. next step is handling: springs/shocks/bushings/etc. on the way.
>>14743634
Be really careful with that engine. They're known to die for absolutely no reason. My grandpa had one. Tole me the coolent started leaking into the exhause and overheating or some shit.
>>14743666
>plan is to make this a dedicated track/autox car

>>14744601
Sorry
>>14744607
Sorry it's not a 700 dollar civic with a carbon good? I apologize for letting you down.
>>14744640
Hood*
>>14744542
Yeah it's something about the head bolts pulling themselves out of the aluminum block that's why I'm installing the ns300l inserts other than that it's a solid engine
>>14744601
Don't bother, the only people on /o/ are poorfag weebs who can only afford shitty 80s and 90s shitbox nip """"sports cars"""" and get salty whenever anyone posts a car worth over $20k.
>>14744640
No, I'm sorry that your $25k car will cost you over a third of the price in maintenance over the next 2 years
28x9 M/T wrinkle wall slicks with wheels for 200 bucks. Dismounted the tires, sandblasted and painted the wheels, and ready for the track
>>14744670
Fairly new to the board, thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll just post my old jeep or something.
>>14744680
A) doubt and b) even if it does, the car is nice enough to justify it.

>>14744725

>>14741496
ty brethren. This car is the most fun I have ever had. I love driving it.
New wheels, got lowering blocks on the way, as well as a tail gate net.
Rear looks dumb as shit right now.
>>14741155
How do you like the FiST ???
How much did you put down on it? thinking about getting one can easily afford the loan just not sure how much i should put down
Bought new last August. Girlfriend bought me coils so I'm getting 527s in June. UEL from ft86 buy/sell local and a tune to get rid of the dip.
>>14746424
I put down 4k out of 22k (2016 20 miles on it) I have horrible credit so I will be paying high 20's when all is said and done, but I also got the 100k bumper to bumper warranty.
So far I absolutely love the car, it is a very enjoyable car to drive as every video you look up of it says. The interior is "okay" but I really don't care about that... It has bluetooth and a touchscreen thats as far as I really care. I also love the modding options for the car, quite a bit of gains for very simple mods... overall I am very happy with what I got for how much I paid for it comparing it to the other cars I could have got for the same price this beats them in the "all around more fun" category....
Just signed off for this '99 V5 GC8 STI
Don't have a picture since its 4 am. But I just got a 2002 subie last week. 02 impreza 2.0l is what the vin says but the sti engine says 2.5l.Blown head gasket of course. Been sitting for 3 years the guy said. Was a project he said. There's literally 4000 dollars worth of turbos head gaskets, cams, intake and exhaust manifolds, full turbo back exhaust, tactrix cable, recaro buckets and 5 point harnesses. all for the low low price of 500 dollars. Can you say lucky? I guess he forgot about all the goodies in the trunk and the boxes of parts on the floor and backseat. But I guess if you don't look at a car for 2 years and it has dust on the windows so thick you can't see through them you kind of forget about that. I fucking scored! There's even a spare engine block and crank!

You should do a '00 conversion
