Ghost decals are the biggest BULLSHIT scam on this planet.
>>27604071It's about sending a message
>>27604062I can always almost instantly tell police cars just by looking at their wheels/any radio modules protruding from the body. you'd have to be blind to let your guard down around one of these just because the decal is faded.first thing i do when i see an explorer/charger is look at the roof/trunk lid or wheels.
>>27604075In what sense?
>>27604091That we're just stupid animals who deserve everything we get because we allow shit like this.
>>27604087This, also they might have reinforced bumpers usually seen on more obvious police cruisers depending on the car.
I don't mind the V6. It's fast and sounds nice.
>>27603831The SSR should depreciate as quickly as HHRs and PT Cruisers, just simply because they are hideous.
>>27603827>/o/ said the new NSX was shit because its a hybrid V6, yet Ferrari, Mclaren, and copied it, and GM even benchmarked it
>>27603827Went to the Ferrari Challenge event at Brands Hatch last weekend and saw so many of these, they're just kinda dull. In fact, all the recent Ferraris just look so boring. The best looking Ferrari there was a California.Also, the sound of the 488 Challenge EVO is insane. Maybe it's the turbo they throw in there, but it doesn't sound like any V8 I've ever heard. There wasn't really a roar of the engine, it was more a whooshing of air, especially when you're behind it. Sounds like a jet turbine.
>>27603886news flash: they're all shit. they're being made because of overreaching government regulation, not because of high demand.
>>27603886It was ahead of time. Back in 2015 the average midwit didn't realize the performance potential
Post your Chevys (or GM) vehicles here boys! No Fords or Chryslers allowed and you better not import that rice shit to this thread here.

I see these older NASCAR chassis come up for sale fairly often on sites like racingjunk. How bad of an idea would it be to buy one? The process for making one of these street legal is pretty easy in my state, and they usually run ~$30-40k for a good, complete one. I know they’re horrible cars to daily but I think the performance per dollar is awesome and it would be a good giggle-machine. If I got one with the original drivetrain (358ci engine, 4spd, etc.) is there any special maintenance or repairs I would have to pay attention to since it’s a race engine?
>>27603437Restrictor plates are only used on a few tracks where speeds become extremely dangerous (like Talladega).The restrictor plate itself is just a drop-in piece that goes in the intake under the carb. So it doesn't require any other modifications or special engines to run at different tracks.
Another problem is the gearbox.Very tall gears, combined with a low-slip clutch and light flywheel, the car is a complete pain to launch from standstill gracefully and drive anywhere slower than 20mph.If you just like the looks, replace the whole powertrain for an LS with TR6060 and have yourself a more normal car.
>>27603465what is wrong with what he wrote? I dun understand
>>27603540Nah, I’d drive it fine.

>have rx7 vert similar to picrel, got it out of a barn for $60>runs, drives, but has coolant problems so can't really be driven much>coolant seals might be bad, but that requires a full engine teardown to check for sure and a rebuild done by a pro is ~$5k>just want a drivable vert atp, don't want to spend a shit ton if avoidablewhat's the move? trade it to some poor sap for a different convertible car? become a rotary mechanic and try to rebuild it myself? miata engine swap? electric conversion? open to ideas
>>27603735>I don't want to rush into a full engine teardown and rebuild on an engine I don't have experience with.>"muh wrenchlet!"Were you born this 'tarded or did you get it from being dropped?
>>27602155>got it out of a barn for $60i'm kinda jealouseverything here costs too much since boomers know that they will sell for more
>>27603758Who said anything about rushing?And pray tell how you're supposed to get this "required" experience other than actually working on said engine? Let alone one that was only 60$?You're a dickless wrenchlet that's probably too scared to do his own oil changes too.
>>27603852>projection temper tantrumSorry for being better than you, I know how insecure it makes you.
>>27602925Don't think about it. Just do it.
fucking cracked one of the new hubcaps while putting it on and had to order a whole new set just to replace the one. it doesn't look bad but is triggering my autism.annoying that i'm gonna have to wait like a week for them to arrive though
subscribe
>>27602512it looks like shit and even still these new hubcaps make my car look even better
>>27602512this >>27602742faggot
>>27602476>hubcaps Why don't you get an actual set of wheels
>>27602476Imagine not having money to buy rims, so instead of saving money you buy hubcabs, but you're so mechanically inept that you break a fucking hubcap installing it, so you buy more hubcapsJust buy a set of rims you cheap fucking bastard
2012 abarth 500 help plsinitial project: needed lots of effort to move the shifter. one of the pins for the transmission shift linkage needed to be greased. issue now: after putting car back together, car starts, but seems to be starting in a higher gear than one. don't have first or second gear, its like the car is taking off in 3rd gear. here's the "fix" i tried http://www.fiat500usa.com/2019/07/fiat-500-abarth-hard-shifting-repair.html?m=1
>>27603914You assembled it incorrectly. Take it apart and try again
Sounds like something is the wrong way around or not in its correct place.
Why do you, as a man, not own a Nissan Titan?
>>27603177That's what most American truck owners are doing too if you would stop larping for 2 seconds
>>27603153you're probably a busrider leftist from reddit and don't even own a car based on the cock obsession comment. but on the off-chance that you own a car, a titan or frontier will last longer than whatever bullshit cuckmobile you have, unless it's a toyota/lexus/ or panther platfform. it's one of the best vehicles you can buy. nissan trucks are legit and simply a good buy as a vehicle regardless of whether you need a "truck." people whine about:>oh there's no good used vehicles that aren't overpricedwell titans, frontiers, gmt400 and gmt800 platform tahoe/yukon/suburban are the new cheap and reliable vehicles. you snooze you lose.
>>27597546nissan interiors are cheap and uncomfortable
>>27597892I see articles like this all the time about various aspects of masculine culture. Who the fuck actually listens to these guys
>>27603335>Nooo you can't laugh at truckfags otherwise you're a redditor or busrider lol, you realize there's other cars on the road besides trucks, right? Most of them, actually. I'm a Honda guy so chances are my cars will last just as long or longer. Again. I work in an office. Why do I need a giant v8 truck to commute in again? Please remind me. On the off chance that I need a truck, I can always rent or borrow one so.
How should Porsche deal with this car that keeps killing it's driver when you step away from the gas?It's kind of shitty for these companies that build these cars with very expensive bleeding edge components and manufacturing and then lose money because nobody buys them because it is 15 years too early for Boomers to use them as a money making strategy. Imagine being Porsche giving a MSRP of 448k to the Carrera GT and then 20 years later the same car comes for some servicing but now the car is worth 1.8 million dollars. Just giving some context for you to take into consideration before coming up with a solution to the Carrera GT problem.

So my old Peugeot 208 got totaled in a car crash, I'm fine thank fuck for that but the insurance company said it's not worth repairing so they'll pay for the car. Now, I'm an euro resident doctor that needs to go from A to B 5 times a week, maybe in the weekend too if I have a shift coming up. I'll probably get a new one in leasing since I'm shit when it comes to used cars market and I don't have the time to research it. I'm looking at Dacia, Renault, Skoda, Seat, etc, basically a shitbox for my needs, nothing more. What's a good car for 14k-18k max?
>>27603794I was eyeing the Dacia Logan too. Sandero looks fine I guess.>>27603818fair enough.
>>27603851Logan is alright, I lean more towards a Sandero as they are more rudimentary and therefore less things can go wrong with it.Avoid Springs like the plague, though.
>>27603863not interested in e-cars, so yeah. I'll probably go with your suggestion. Thanks for the input.
>>27603867You are very welcome.
FSO Polonez 1.4 16v
Which one, br/o/s?
>>27602543There are UTV's with enclosed cabs and AC.
>>27602545> expensive green golf cart I like gators, but you cannot compare them to a Polaris rzr or kei truck
>>27602530For what usecase? Purely scooting around a ranch? Right. Occasional trips on public roads? Left. Just to look cool and amusing? Left. Off-roading? Right.
>>27602530Kei truck is cheaper and better in every way than some shitty side by side
>>27602718> Spend 8k on a kei truck with barely any parts to find yet> Or spend 8k on a Polaris rzr with parts galore and endless customer service
How big of a problem is jaywalking in your cuntry? In my cunt every pedestrian thinks theyre entitled to walking on the road whenever they feel like it. Those spoiled brats even look at you in disapproval whenever you think at them as if it's you whos breaking the rules, not them. It's so bad that I think it should be legal to run those fuckers over to make them learn. What's your experience with this?
Carmagedcoom
>>27601674I do not particularly care, of they are dead, I will claim insurance fraud and wipe dashcam footage.
>>27601742yeah sure bro that will totally work
where I live I think most people would think twice before walking in traffic because 99% of the time the person in the vehicle is probably playing with their screens and not watching the road.
>>27601782I have little to lose, anon, so I would try it.

So I know that S197 Mustang seat rails have a tendency to rust because they don't have a protective coating but does this look rusted through or more like surface rust? Don't want the seat detaching if I crash yknow?
>>27602660Bruz that shit flood damaged

>>27602660RUSTANG strikes again.walk away anon, just walk away.
>>27603708>walk away anon, just walk away.
is this rubber undercoating on the car? is the frame done for now?
>>27602631in Europe almost any well taken care of older car has that stupid stuff.it's not as bad as people make it out to be.the only annoying thing it does is hiding rust, just tap your shit with a hammer to find out if it's still good.
