What is the most patrician motor sport?
Any stock car category.
>>18334553Sports car racing is the ultimate. These past few years it's a fucking 2-24 hour sprint race, with record setting laps not uncommonly occurring somewhere near the end of the race, in cars that are just constantly getting faster.
>>18335835mein negerSuper GT gets so hectic sometimes the cameras don't even know where to look
>>18334572>best driversF1 actively excludes drivers>best tracksI think you mean the highest paying track. What makes a track best, anyways?>best carsLOLNO. F1 is cucked beyond measure, making their cars suboptimal at best. Every single aspect of their cars is heavily limited.
>>18334568>>18334568>Remove all engine limitations. >Allow all configurations, displacement, n/a, turbo, fuel, hybrid, everything>Instead, use a torque sensor on the output shaft to limit power to 800hp for races and 1000hp for qualifying>All aero except front and rear wing is now banned. Keep DRS.>Allow active suspension & four wheel steering>Allow multiple tire brands again>Allow all available pump fuels, including LPG and E85, and refueling during the race. Remove fuel limit.

>>18335393Rev match downshift literally every time I slow down. If I'm getting off the freeway, I'll be blipping all the way from 6th to 1st. Coming to a stop at a light in busy traffic with houses around? You bet I'll downshift into first. The only time I don't downshift is if I can see a cop around, the rest of the time it's complete habit.

Are there any bass heads here? I have been on 4chan for quite sometime but never really come to this thread despite being an avid car enthusiast. The few times a scrolled through, I didn't really have much interest from any of the threads, maybe just bad days.Anyways, not really sure where else to ask this and forums seem to take forever to answer so I'll ask here. Recently I bought 2 Memphis Audio SA12D4 slim mount subwoofers. Well the only information I can find about enclosure space needed is .5 cubic feet but didn't specify whether that's for a ported box or sealed. Would I assume they mean for sealed or ported? If ported, how would I know how much room I'd need for a sealed enclosure? I have looked on the original box and Memphis' website for more info but both are vague. Thanks ahead of time for any help.For sake of the thread, let's discuss which is better, sealed or ported enclosures?
>>183338170.5 is the minimum size for sealed, ported is always twice the size, so 1.0 minimum for ported.
>>18333927To a point yes. But you can get lower end bass by just tuning the ported box for a lower frequency.
>>18333817It's likely sealed or ported, I have 2 Pioneer shallow 10's and they call for the same volume ported or sealed, and function in 0.35-0.7 cubic feet, thankfully pioneer states that 0.6 is the ideal volume for either.
>>18333938the audio system is almost always the dead last thing on the engineers' minds in a production vehicle
>>18334529>>18334990Thanks guys, that helps a lot.
I just bought a house with a set of four bmw x5 rims in the garage. What's the value of them? I've got 2 21" x 10 and 2 21" x 11.5" rims. Style is the same as the picture. What's the value and where can I sell them?
>>18333447This pretty much.>Are these rare? Is that the exact pattern or is it something different? If pic related no they're not particularly desirable like M-pars or Style 5's are.
>>18333338>I just bought a house with a set of four bmw x5 rims in the garagewhy didn't you 'buy' the stereo as well?
>>18334041How does the seller owe you 3 grand? Did you not go through a real estate agent?
those are x5m wheels. 2000 new. probably 1500 as you have it from tire installation marks
$2 grand Easy. Wheels with BMW on them cost a lot and many want them for winter or a second set. However , it sounds like you stole them to me

I want Corvette Stingray but it's expensive for me. It costs almost $87k in Japan. It's about $85k in UK. And it costs only $60k in USA. With another $25k, we can buy a brand new mini cooper.

>>18335814Eventually I think vibration and general bushing wear will make the mount points unserviceable. That will take a long, long time I would think Plus, most unibody cars have subframes to take the load off irreplaceable bits.

Hey OP, I've found something you might like..
>>18333355>Make a really nice Golf>Ruin it by putting a pigfat inline engine in front of the front axleInline five engines are objectively shit compared to the I4 and V6. They are only tolerable when used transversely, because they don't suck as much there.>>18333880It's not as if it's running 30PSI straight from the factory.>>18335523Turbo V6 > Turbo I5, especially with Audi's Put-It-In-Front-Of-The-Axle (TM) all wheel drive system.
>>18335703Just wait untill they start becoming available in salvage bikes.A 135i with the K1600 engine would make even more CO2, since motorcycle engines are far less restricted in terms of emissions.I'd love to put one of those, including the sequential transmission, into a 1602. Too bad it doesn't have ITB's, because that would be instant godmode.

>>18334871what?
>>18334883He knows this thread is populated by Americans because we're talking about low interest rates, something that is unheard of in europe because they're accustomed to true usury.Euros also use credit a lot less than Americans do, or at least they did, I'm not sure if that's changed in the last 10 years.And apparently they think Americans wear shoes indoors, which many do, but many don't.
>>18334878>6-8% to give you a credit boost. (lol 1-2%, yeah right)Find a better credit union, either you don't understand what a shared secured loan is, or your credit union is dog shit. There's no risk to the credit union with a shared secured loan so there's no reason to charge interest rates that high. That's higher than the interest rates I can get for a mortgage dude.>penning up 2 lines of credit out the doorOh yeah, you're retarded never mind my bad.Post credit score.

Could any anons give me some advice on how much it would take to do a full rebuild on a 302 Windsor from a Mustang LX? I wanna do it myself, sans the machine work, and I wanna know how much I should plan for. Pic related isn’t mine
>>18333971I wish I had that.
Could I do all of the stuff I need to do with the engine on a stand?
>>18335047Yep. Engine stands rotate so you can work on the bottom or top of the engine.An empty block is light, a couple girl scouts can pick it up. Once its torn down its easy to transport pieces to the shop to get machined.>>18334467Jesus.I thought the guys I went to highschool with were massive idiots, but you found some top grade morons...
>>18319901Get a big bucket of diesel or kerosene, a nylon brush, a wire wheel (brass is good), rags and a fuckton of brakleen and clean stuff as you take it off, especially valves
Anyone ever rebuilt a Volvo redblock? They're pretty simple engines but since they're a niche in the rebuilding market parts are expensive and sometimes hard to come by. I know they don't make much power but I love them dearly and I think it would be a fun project to rebuild one and cruise in a comfy ol' swedish brick.
I saved up 35k Euro to invest in a weekend car. I'm mainly interested in Japanese cars because not only they are a good investment with stable prices but also they are lots of fun. Going to import a stock/clean one directly from Japan but deciding which one is a bit difficult.Right now I favor with those:>Skyline R32 GTR>Skyline R33 GTR>Skyline R34 GTT>Silvia S15>Datsun 240Z and my personal favorite: RX7 FD. This one has the best design for me and I love the handling of the car. Only problem is that they seem to be not so reliable. Would keep the car clean, dry, stock and not driven too fast at the autobahn. Mainly cruising and speeding up sometimes. Any suggestions? What would you chose?
>>18335171just fucking look at it.
>>18335171its all about execution boyos.most people who do LS swaps n Rx7s are tasteless elmer fudds who have the power and have absolutely zero style.

Hey /o/, thinking of buying an R32 come tax time. What are your thoughts?
>>18333540>8-series>the cool one is shit>the not-shit one isn't coolFuck that.
>>18334286like. what. anon?
>>18333467maintenance heavy. timing belts need to be regularly changed.
>>18333467I personally wouldn't, I don't think I could deal with the shadiness of importing shitWhat are the general prices on these things anyway? I've seen a few in my area for ~16k USD, and I think that's way too much. You can buy a 2018 new shitbox for that kind of money.It is cool tho
>>18333467I can't justify the price for a 25+ year old Nissan thats gonna need 25+ year old kinds of maintenance regardless of mileaget. I'm a dumbass that owns 2 imported cars
is there any reason not to buy an early 2000's ss commodore sedan? can get them for 5-10k depending on the model and kilometers. any known problems with them that are a bit of a deal breaker?
>>18335611Blown heads and fucked out botten ends. I'd take the slower xr8 over the turbo 6 any day.
>>18334817>>18334834Aye, seats are shocker in the VT/VX too, the back curves into my upper back/shoulders and makes me hunch forward like fuck, only way to fix it is to drop the seat back and slouch like a homosexual.
>>18335815maybe dont run 40psi and 500rwkw through a unbuilt engine?>>18335844keke this
>>18335851They do it stock, especially the heads
