whats the HARDEST you've ever been burned on a car?>MFW bought a fucked up miata that ended up putting me atleast 4,000 in the hole.
Basically every jap car has been a giant moneypit, relative to their value that is.Like the civic for example I had sucked about 700 bucks out of me, but it was a 300 buck civic.

>>27626322>IVE..BECOME SO NUMB..
Never really been burned per se.First car I bought was a '94 Jimmy from my dad. Threw money at a new longblock because it had low oil pressure. It was a really shitty driving SUV. Slow, bouncy, and loud. I ended up just letting it rot in the driveway for a few years and sold it for $100 to some guy who just showed up asking for it. Probably lost me a few thousand dollars there just because I didn't feel like putting an ounce of effort into it, even listing it for sale as-is.My next car was still not a "me" car, but it worked out fine. It's what I thought I wanted, but it turns out I'm a nimble sports car guy and not a GT guy. But I don't mind having a GT alongside sports cars. She's a good car.

Goddamn /o/, I went off the deep end. I made a financially stupid purchase and I don't even care. I bought the best damned daily driver/grand tourer I've ever owned. Yes, it's a modern BMW, which I know is frowned upon here, but fuck, it's just so good to cruise around in it's not even funny. Even the wife loves it, and she's completely "meh" about cars. The B58 is a badass engine, and the ZF8 slushbox is great. I traded in my Manuel Mk7 Golf R and I don't miss it one bit, as 90% of my driving is highway commuting anyway. The difference in quality is substantial to say the least, the m240i is comfier and more compliant on roads than the R ever hoped to be. It's also nice to not have understeer-happy Haldex AWD anymore. Fucking thing even gets north of 30mpg on the highway despite weighing a gorillion pounds, it just doesn't make sense.Keep your heads up, work hard, get paid, and buy fun toys. Whether it's a beat to shit Miata or a 911 Turbo, get something that makes you happy every time you go for a drive.
>>27623411A daily driver driver is not an asset. If you're not keeping it in a museum, cars aren't assets.
>>27626456No man why did you have to go out to eat at a fancy restaurant today man, food is a depreciating asset, why did you spend so much on it man nooooooo man nooooo

>>27623255Don’t let these haters clown you for having less power, less cylinders and worse reliability than a base v8 mustang.There’s literally nothing wrong with spending more for less.
Is the g body currently the best budget project car platform in the US right now?>most a bodies are extremely overpriced and came with lackluster engines>f bodies are in a similar vein of costing more with little benefit except drivetrain options>other platforms are either a bit heavy (c10, caprices, etc), or are too niche to be accessible for anyone other than fabricators>g bodies were and still are one of the defacto racing platforms for stuff like oval racing, meaning aftermarket high performance brakes and suspension are available for relatively cheap>ls swaps have been a thing on them for 2 decades now, and if not, small blocks can be thrown in for $500>one of the few cars you can still find in running condition for $2500 with an old 305 in itYeah I think this is the way. I'm sick of overpriced and ugly f bodies, and the ongoing boomer mafia that gatekeeps 60s and 70s coupes. Time to embrace peak malaise mobiles and their velvety seats
Other than some parts obtainability, AMC AMX and Javelins remain remarkably priced pony cars to tinker with

I own 2, in my early 40's fond of these shitboxes lot of friends and senpai had them growing up. 86 El Camino got in 2016 for 4K, 3 previous owners had 350/700R4 swap no 80's emission controls, FL car no rust, AC, Cruise, pw locks/windows everything worked, only bad on car was broken front sway endlink. Done bunch of mods since but 1st year only had to replace endlinks, old rear air shocks, pass caliper, pass window motor, and rebuild quadrajet. 3rd year another bunch of repairs of OE stuff radiator, driver window motor, original water pump of 1977 350, distributor coil. Paint looks like shit now but is not original color was nice grey metallic. Has all the choo choo customs interior logos, handle inlay, and door stamp so believe was SS but has nose of regular 86.87 Cutlass 7K in 2022 2 previous owners guy i bought it from did 5.3 LM7 swap in 2021. Needs headliner, no AC, driver window motor died month in, needed to fix some fuel pump wiring, pw antenae mast wire broke 1yr in. OE 5.3 water pump died 1yr in, installed ls3 water pump, baby cam, TBSS intake, r4 ac compressor still need to wire up. Guy who did LM7 swap kept it behind the 2004R I added large aux cooler and manual toggle brake relay for lockup as it had this auto 3/4 lockup kit. worked fine for my driving style till it didn't las November went to pass some slow pokes on highway blew up 2nd over rev and spun bearing. Got $500 2002 90K 5.3 dropping in this month. 2004R had broken 1-2 accumaltor spring and servo spring replaced spring and got deal on GN servo so shifts now but band aid till i replace with 4l60/80, new crossmember shorter drive shaft and regear.
79 Monte Carlo350 crate motor, thing is. It was orig 305 with a metric 6 trans. To handle the 350 swap, went to Mike Kurtz for a TH-200R4 with 2600 stall and lock out. Required welding and modification to make it work. Rear end from a Grand National because you sure as hell aren't using the old one. Replaced u-joins with new ones that have greasable fitting. Ended up robbing axles from an 88 Super Sport because one of the Gran Nats was bent. Over 60 vibration sets off. Fixed that. It's still squirrely as fuck when you punch it.
>>27626356>>27626481siiiiickI been stuck between a 5.3 swapped monte and a big block 402 malibu. Dunno which i should go with but the malibu looks more taken care of. How bad does the frame rust on those? My dad always said around the rear wheel well just turns soft, but I haven't had the chance to get under one or see why. Hopefully the cars I'm checkin out are all clean, cause its a decent distance to either one.
Be honest. If not with me, at least with yourself. Don't you get jealous of seeing people with nice cars? Sure you can cope all day long "oh me probably financed it. muh depreciation asset. his dick is probably small too" but don't you ever get tired of driving shitty old cheap cars? don't you wish you had a car that made you happy just looking at it, and even happier when driving it, without worrying your whole life about money?
>>27622422Ok what car is it? I'm not gonna shit on you no matter what it is desu because I'm poor. (Others prob will though)
>>27622418Good for them, I'm glad they're happy. I'm happy with my car too, even though it's old and cheap that doesn't mean I don't still love it.
>>27622418Sorry for long-ass reply, new Porsche fan hereYup, from sim-track timing on many tracks, the 992 GT3 RS is KICK ASS! Wish I had that nice car BAD, but I'm no shill/scammionaire... Also, the 997.2 Carrera S works similar wonders once you learn apexes and the car's many quirks, you can easily get within 5-10 seconds of a 992. Might grab a used one in the future should I save up enough. So, yes, but not for long!
I don't get jealous of people. I find people who seethe about new cars calling them soulless, ugly, gay, etc., are annoying to me, and they come off as jealous faggots. I hate jealous faggots more than I hate people who flex expensive cars to compensate. That being said I drive a shitbox currently, I'm not a rich man myself by any means.
>>27626453>I find people who seethe about new cars calling them soulless, ugly, gay, etc., are annoying to me, and they come off as jealous faggots.>purists, true gearheads who are into cars as opposed to generic means of transportation are jealous of people getting generic means of transportationI mean I'm sure there are SOME jealous faggots who pretend to be gearheads to hate on people having "nice" things, but for those of us who actually find most modern cars absolutely appaling it's really uncalled for to say we're jealous. Behold, a mistake in the matrix, one of the last cars with soul ever created. Naturally, it had to come from Italy. Its roar makes hearts race and spines feel shivers. Men and women alike are fascinated by its presence, almost hypnotized. It's passion in mechanical form. It speaks to the heart, not to some bean counter's spreadsheet.
I have a B18B2 engine and it is time to change the oil in it. Should I do an oil flush? If yes, how should I do it? If no, what are the risks of an engine flush?
>>27623984>Fill the engine to the normal level with a proper solvent like kerosene, run for 10 minutes, drain and repeat 2-3 times.Then replace your main and big-end bearings after regrinding your crank and replacing your camshaft
>>27623914>Should I do an oil flush?Probably not. If you've changed the oil at the recommended intervals then just change oil and filter. Fill the filter with oil before you crank.If then engine is new to you, you don't know the service hsitory and the oil looks black on the dipstick then possibly
Not OP but have any of you anons ever run straight atf? Or is it more recommended to run like a 25/75 atf/oil mix for a few hundred miles then change it out?
Get engine warm, throw a litre/quart of diesel in the engine, let it idle for like 5 minutes or so, change oil.
>>27623914Scotty Kilmer and Deutsche Auto Parts have GREAT tutorials on how to do this.Instructions to mod/compliment their instructions;Use the pro stuff, follow the instructions CLOSELY (don't forget the new oil filter, yes it's gonna get dirty). Use a pedla depressor to press down the throttle to the RPM listed on the can/bottle, for the amount of time, drain and replace with nnew oil filter and oil or repeat with more and new oil filter. Then new oil and oil filter, drive about 500, drain and new filter.

What are some of the best badass cars? Cars that make you feel like a Russian gangster, ruthless dictator, or international spy? Cars that are truly villanous, evil if you will. Masculine, cool, a little sleazy maybe but not cheesy. Think Escalade, not H2. And of these badass rides, which is actually not so bad to drive, own and maintain? Picrel is probably a shitheap but at least it sounds great and looks and feels the part. Older 7 series fit the bill too. G-wagons too, but those are so overpriced and trendy now it’s ridiculous. What is your take, and have you owned any true boss cars?

>OP went into hiding after getting BTFO by the strong muscular Honda chads
>>27625183Both engines are great for different reasons, though the aftermarket scene has made the Volvo Redblock a no-brainer if money is no problem. Fiding parts is easy, and upgrading internals, adding ecu shit without egr, tuning is easier than ever.The K-Series is a powerhouse on a budget, and you can swap cylinder heads, cams, cranks, the entire fucking vtec system itself for a newer or more aggresive gearing (obv. also cams) (Basically a Franken-engine). So both engines are based, just for different reasons bruh.
>>27626439Is the K-series not good with an unlimited budget then?
Imagine an alternate future in which Mazda didn't spend so much time and money on meme Doritos™ wanker engines. What would it look like?
>blocks you are path>bursts your eardrums>gets banned >leaves/thread
>>27626360>disproven by the fact that mazda DID make the 20b.and so how many cosmos were sold in the us exactly?>They still could have put them in that limited number of vehicles if they really wanted toas if people are going to pay for a 300hp b2200. The only other car mazda had to put the 20b in was the 929 and the rx7, but I doubt they'd be able to sell a 20b rx7 in the us while they were a ford subsidiary, seeing how it'd overshadow the mustang by a fair amount, and the probe was literally on the verge of becoming the next gen mustang chassis at the time.>Let me repeat that. Over a 5 year period, the RX-7 outsold the *Corvette* by *two hundred fifty thousand cars*yeah and gm also sold more family sedans of a single model around that time as well. Just cause mazda had the ability to pump out their best selling car that they poured r&d funds, like the miata which followed, doesn't automatically give them the ability to throw a performance engine in everything. Now as we established, the 20b, which only came out in 1990, and was relegated to the cosmo since it would most likely be impossible to put in an american rx7 model and would cannibalize native cosmo sales, was not viable in any other car, and as such couldn't have had the ability to be produced in more vehicles due to those facts surrounding mazda vehicle production. Again, the amati brand offered a lot of promise for mazda and the 20b, along with producing more rwd platforms as a whole, but that all went down the drain from the economic bubble. In the end, the 20b is not a mediocre engine with poor packaging or a spaghetti e shaft. Its literally smaller than a pushrod v8 and makes better power than cathedral port LS's. making 600 to the wheels only warrants fueling and spark upgrades
>>27626476>chassis pulls itself apart
>>27626450people were pushing 4-500hp out of turbo 2's back in the 90s. The only engines needing rebuilds every other week are peripheral port 2 rotor race engines putting 1100 to the wheels. Modern ceramic seals and upgraded hardware makes it a breeze to have a reliable 500hp 13b.

>>27623116That's kind of what I was thinking when I bought it. A crossover that is as close to a "911" as you can get. I guess I should say I have a classic 911 as well, so that takes car of the weekend vehicle. I bought a used one to be cheap and I should've just bought a slightly used one. Because I'm landing on a lot of maintenance, and I can afford a slightly used one easily. Except at that price I think a 2018 g63 is the better buy.I'll add I really think a 2016 macan s with a tune is one of the best buys out there for the price, if you get a third part warranty. I'm surprised others haven't realized yet.
>>27622939>actual honest to god trophy wives are browsing /o/
>>27621835inshallah brother. they will be sacrificed in the name of allah.
Apologies /o/ I dont venture here often, I searched in the catalog for>subaru>wagon>scoob / sub etc...>qtddtot>sqtI resorted to making a thread. Recently I saw a subaru forester that caught my attention and had wrx looking front on it. looking like pic related (some random google image search) I looked into it, and from what I have read, wrx parts from 2004-2008 are direct bolt ons for 2004-2008 forester. My question is, if I wanted a newer year forester to mod is there another year range that also has direct bolt ons from wrx to foresters, or is it just 2004-2008?
/o/ isn't the right place to ask this question. 90% of /o/ is busriders who don't even own a car. 9% of the car owners can't even change their own oil. This kind of question you're going to want to ask on a Subaru message board.
>>27626467The Forester is just a rebodied, lifted Impreza, so second gen crosses with second gen, third with third, so on. If you want a Forester with go-fast bits, just buy a Forester XT, it's a WRX drivetrain and some suspension bits fitted into a Forester from the factory. Manuals are unicorns however.
