Can you help me get this into my 91 Civic DX?
You would immediately blow apart your driveshaft/diff/chassis... Why would you think this would be possible?
Honda swap jokes aside. What would this feel like?
>>18334406You're...not the smartest tool in the shed, are you?
>>18334533you'd run out of gas before it started up probably

GeelyChinese automaker owns Volvo, now lotus and Terrafugia. If you can't beat em... Buy em.Will China just buy their way into the western auto market, doing the what the Koreans and before them the Japanese did (they used western engineers at first). But do so much quicker.
>>18334204are europeans retarded too?
>>18334204learn to read, you dumb cunt
>>18333768they saved volvo, so i'm really interested to see what they do with lotus
>>18334342>saved volvo>from 2019 onwards, all volvo models will be hybrid or electricWas it really worth saving?
China will run it for a few years, everyone hates China do they wont make any money then they will sell. This happens all the time.
>be at stop light on a 50mph road>car pulls up in the next lane>get a good start>other gets on on it because his lane merges on to mineI guess we're running 'em>I hit speed limit and get off throttle>other car keeps accelerating to about 10 over>tfw the other guy thinks he wonWhy can't people follow proper street racing etiquette???
>>18334237In SoCal, these gatherings are planned, though. Impromptu cruises and cruise-ins happen, but the street racing is done where cops are less likely to catch them. Traffic cops have informants and I've "heard" that they even embed their officers.
>>18334245>in cali they arrest everyone watching tooI know that they issue tickets for loitering, but arresting only happens when the cops tell them to disperse and then they start arresting them for failure to comply. Source: me (they threatened to arrest me back in my FATF days).
>>18334282>if you know the right spots That's what i meant by that, there's always loosely organized stuff going down somewhere empty.
>>18327630Ontario has no speed limit enforcement because even the cops speed.
>>18326989i thought raptors were fast? also sounds like that dude doesnt know what giving a fuck feels like.i would fucking love a raptor..
Should I get a Tundra or an F150? I know the Tundra is more reliable but the F150 can haul more and go faster and considered to be a cooler truck. So basically, should I go for reliability or performance and respect?
>>18334006>sober mexicantopkek
>>18333942I can cherrypick more junk f150 and gm cancer than toyota. Kill yourself you paint huffing trailer rodent.
>>18333959Yeah too bad flyover trash cant into thinking rationally.
>>18334251>implying that's impressive
What is the /o/ consensus on the Nissan Versa S? AKA the cheapest car you can buy in the United States brand new.This motherfucker is equipted with:>a 5 speed manual transmission>some goddamned manual windows>an AM AND FM radio>A fucking airbag>a 1.6L i4 producing ~110 HP>Air conditioningAll for around $11,000
>>18333980You'll regret this purchase.
I rented one for a drive from AZ to CA. 20k miles and it felt worn out. Rent a beaten up Civic or Camry, and it'll feel like a highly tuned performance car compared to this shitcube. The ride is absurdly high in the Versa and the whole car feels unstable; catching any cross wind in it makes you into a wobbly, slow mess. Interior is complete and utter garbage. Seats are horrible. Everything is bad about this car. Don't fucking get one. You can't even beat on it out of frustration with the transmission that it has.11k can get you a nice 8th or 9th gen Civic, maybe even an Si.
I've sat in oneShifter had extremely long throwsInterior is awful hard plastic everywhereseats felt awfulNo power windowsNo power mirrorsMy friend had a 3-4 year old versa hand-me-down and stuff like the muffler rusted and fell off the car and it was only a couple years oldYou are actually better off buying a used car because at least you wont completely regret your decision
chevy spork is beytyrt
>>18333980You can probably get a new 2016 or 2017 Cruze for about that much.
I fixed it
Step aside, I got this
>>18333459im not a waggon guy but honestly thats way better
>>18333446This is sexy
>>18333459I wouldn't even be mad. Nobody has made a 4-door hypercar before, I think it'd be cool.
>>18333440Is that a salt life sticker on the side? Because that and browning/realtree mudflaps would definitely redeem this car
Just bought some of these shits /o/Red car absolutely BTFO the blue car in my scale Nurburgring test >ITT General red car threadBlue car shills BTFO
>>18331815Red™ Car will always be faster than Blue™ Car because the color red is sportier and therefore faster
>>18333658>Red™ Car will always be faster than Blue™ Caryeah, yeah, but like hell will you ever be able to use all that power. slow car fast>fast car slowRed™ Car fags btfo
>>18333756Blue car was engineered by gooks, looks worse, and broke down on the first test>inb4 reliability doesn't matter on blue carsIt does when you can't "track day bro" your blue car more than once before it shits the bed Bluecarfags BTFO
Should I do it /o/?
>>18332229Don't you need to dump another $20k into it to make it decent off road?
>>18333853Depends on your definition of decent. I'd say they're more than decent base.
>>18333841Wait for the 18 to buy the 17?
>>18334069wait for 2019 and buy the 2018
>>18332180If you get it in that configuration, and use 35" or larger tire you'll pop your front axel eventually if you use it off road. To avoid this, get the rubicon or be ready to replace the d35 for a d44.
/o/ makes an anime thread 2.5 (not letting this die that easily)What started as a simple thread quickly evolved into planning a comfy car-focused animu.Here's what we know so far.Name: Kawaii Kars KlubCharacters: S2K, FD, Supra, snek, et alEverything else: ???Last thread some people were talking about potentially making this a manga/multi-page comic instead of an animated series to cut down on development time. Thoughts?Post character and episode ideas (and, as usual, cute cars). Remember, every car is kawaii in its own way.Previous thread: >>18295756
Is this still happening or is this dead?
>>18331804I want it to happen
>>18328317What about R33-chan
>>18332487Me too, anon. But it doesn’t look like this thread will last much longer.
>>18333924>>18332487>>18331804OG OP here, dealing with serious IRL problems, don't know when I'll be able to have leisure time again
Is this repairable? 2003 Ford Taurus
Maybe, but not worth it.
You need, at a minimum. Assuming there is no frame damage , and I haven't even seen under the hood:Headlights Bumper supportBumper cover AC condensorRadiatorHoodHood hingesFendersRadiator core support (requires welding)Marker lightsAir boxAll of the hardware and labor for the above plus paintComment too long.

>>18332416Repairable.If you will be able to find airbags and framerails (new, black, OEM, for replacment) you are good to go.If someone suggest you just to straighten the rail - do not listen to him, because it is as safe, as fucking with a slut without rubber, maybe you will not get AIDS or other, maybe you will.
>>18332416Of course it is. Almost everything is if given enough time and money. But is it feasable is another thing.
>>18332416Anything is repairable. Worst case scenario, rip out the engine, and get out the cut off wheel and buy a shell. Weld the good front end onto your car, and drop the engine back in. The key word is weld, not chicken crap spatter, so unless you've got a fair bit of practice that'll be the expensive bit.

>>18333057well, there is a reason a 2 year old car is still sitting on the lotand I doubt the dealer has properly stored it all that time toothat car should sell for the deprecated used value even though it's got no mileslook up what CPO prices are for similar cars and don't go a penny more
>>18333057>ATS-VAre you autistic? Those are objectively garbage. Go get a used CTS-V and enjoy your infinitely better car
>>18333139>Those are objectively garbageaccording to whom'st'd've?[spoiler]also yes, cts-v[/spoiler]
Autotragic, big, and literally what even is handling.
>>18333057buy it retard. the atsv is a masterpiece. turbo v6s are the best
Hey /o/ this is my first time buying snow tires for a new car. Holy hell I didn't realize they were so expensive...I'm in Canada, the cheapest pair sold by Canadian Tire is $115 each.Is that pretty par for the course as far as prices for snow tires go? What price range should I look for?I've got a base model 2017 honda civic fwiw.Any help here is appreciated.
>>18333420Stupid. You almost always get a $50-100 rebate when you buy a set of 4 tires so it's like buy 3 get 1 free.
>>18332317motomasters are shit, anon. Get good snow tires and have them changed out AS SOON as the snow stops. This way they will keep for 5 or 6 years. have them mounted on steel rims so you can put them on yourself.
>>18332317>Canadahere you go senpaihttps://www.kaltire.com/en/tires/hakkapeliitta-r2/10001010440021.htmlif you're in Vancouver or Toronto (i.e., not real canada) look into getting Nokian WRG3's instead, they are better for slush and "warmer" winter weatherhttps://www.kaltire.com/en/tires/wrg3/10001010440022.html
>>18332317Nokia Hakkapeliitta 9 is the only non-cringe option regardless of price.
>>18332470Stupid nigger, your braking distances can increase tenfold in actual winter conditions. Not even talking about skidding and understeering out the ass.
>>1833341180s Dodge Daytona?>Turbo versions made 146hp (first year, 1984 non intercooled) up to 224hp (Very rare Lotus co-designed r/t engine 1992-3) they are still fun, "slow car fast">Front engine fwd - certainly outdoes the f-body and foxbodies of the era>Quite cheap if you can find one running without the floorboards rotted through (Northeast pls), they are getting rarer and the Shelby ones are just starting to rise in price / demand>Relatively obscure, yeah, who would remember what was quite possibly 1/2 front engine fwd turbo cars actually designed in the us (the other being the probe). The answer is no one unless these things become either a meme or star in a movie.
Heard they’re decent cars and can be tuned easily
Wait, this was posted as its own thread? Ok
>>18333666My boss loves those cars. He had one he managed to tune to 300 horse somehow. Showed me an old video of him doing a burnout in one of them back in the mid 90s.It's kinda funny that people think Americans can't into 4 cylinders. The chevy cobalt SS, Pontiac Sunfire with the LD9 twin cam, Neons and their huge aftermarket. Design language and interiors might not be great, but Americans have good history with 4 bangers.
This is my first car guys... I’ve had it for a month and I just screwed up coming into the garage. The feeling of shame and remorse is overwhelming... this car is like a living thing to me and I feel so angry and sorry... how do you guys cope with it???
>>18331437Damn dude, you were off by like 6 inches. How do you even fuck up that badly?
>>18331437Take it easy man. The next one will harm less.Is like taking a penis in the ass.
>>18331437remove front bumper Boil pot of waterPour slowly into inside of bumper Repeat until plastic is soft Bang lightly with a rubber mallet into shapeShould come out boss and you'll never know unless you look up close
>>18332399Nailed it
man, you must be real fucking stupid. you drive like my fucking mom, fuck you asshole
Are subwoofers counterculture?
>>18332366under seat sub works for some carsnew cars don't really have much space under there any more tho
>>18332549good thing muh hatch is sprung to handle better with about 20 kg in the boot
>>18332639>have 15" sub in ef hatch >still handles greati think it actually helps the weight distribution, being FF
>>18332649Performance subwoofers
>>18332366is that an engineer? idk why but he looks pretty based
