The sv650 is for little bitchmade gook boys.
>>24757628Oh, I thought you meant like a stethoscope.My neighbor is some injun that has a hole in his throat with a speaker thing that he talk through. He often tells me stories about running smack in biker gangs and working on oil rigs.>>24757644>tell 'em to build some dr's here, we only got a few old 650's and few 400's ( the dirtbike ver)SA is attached by land to NA right? What do DR650's go for there? Is there any profit to be made bringing DR650s down there?
>>24757668>>24757674Bro....you know you e-cucks can't post here right?
look how fast the pathetic malnourished commie gook responded. How's Renee Farr doing?
I just think it would be funny if Renee Farr was raped and killed.
Hey Br/os. Just wanted to say, I’m really loving my 370z lately. I’ve had some interesting rides in the past, and it took a while, but it’s really grown on me. 1996 R33 Skyline S2 5sp: Was so cool when I was 18, started my Nissan love. Ran it up to 260,000km from 60,000km in 5 years and then sold it for $2000 (2008 prices). Came across it in a car yard a few weeks later with a fake GTR badge and a haircut down to 60,000km. Never missed a beat in the 200,000km I drove it for, and the long wheelbase and LSD was so predictable and easy to handle in a slide. A nightmare with bald tyres though. 2002 S15 200sx Spec S GT Turbo: Was my favourite. I loved that car. It was so wild, rode like absolute shit on crappy Australian roads but was just such a joy to rev out on a mountain touge. I wanted to keep it forever but a Chinese man in a Volvo crashed the front in, it wasn’t the same so I sold it and bought my current daily IS350 F Sport. BMW Z4M: Bought this at the start of the Corona bullshit after being locked in a house for fucking ages. Did some mountain runs in it, engine was good, not great but the car needed 15 grand to really see it’s potential, if I’d kept it I would have done wheels, tyres, suspension, exhaust, intake, hard top. Unfortunately because of BMW, I just didn’t trust that I wasn’t going to also owe it $10k in rod bearings, lifters, and other stupid BMW shit. I’d rather spend money on mods than preventative maintenance. Sold it to a boomer looking for his retirement toy after only about 4 months. Handling felt unpredictable, not sorted. I couldn’t trust this car despite it being in A1 condition.
370Z: Decided to go final year 2021 6 Speed manual. I wanted that S15 feeling, but I wasn’t going to pay new 370Z prices for a 20 year old S chassis which wouldn’t have been as good as my old one. Took me a while to really embrace it because it’s not as wild as the Silvia, it’s way more composed, the ride quality is much better. Recently I’ve really started loving it though, the solid build quality is on par with my Lexus. The gearbox and engine feel so strong, like you could just beat on it for 300,000km. It’s a weekender so it only gets driven for fun. So far, just tint and ceramic coating. Got a GReddy dual catback arriving this week though. Will probably also do wheels and suspension, maybe some poly bushings, but it really doesn’t need much. The handling is not as tail happy as the Skyline or Silvia, but the mechanical grip gives a lot of confidence in fast cornering. Way better handling than the Z4M. Akebono brakes are top notch. Viscous LSD seems good so far. The Z feels unbreakable. There is something to be said for a sports car that can really handle the revs reliably. It’s not supercar fast, it’s not miata light, but it’s so damn solid and just loves to be driven hard. So far I’ve chopped: - Heaps of BMWs - Audi S3- Modified S14- Porsche Boxster - Golf RNot bad for a NA V6. I live at the bottom of a mountain touge range area, and I am loving mountain blasting in this car. Future plans: Add a GR86 to the shed around final model year when they come out with a final edition hopefully with factory brembos and recaros. So /O, what are your sports car histories?

Hey br/o/si recently bought a Civic gen 8 (with 3 doors). Test drive was a blast, car worked perfectly and everything ws fine until i tried to play a cd. I inserted the CD and the car just straight refused to play it. It always said "CD reading error"I suppose the laser is ded since i riedd it with different mint condition CDs.What can i do? Replace the laser or the whole CD reader? There is no easy access, is it better to let the professionals handle it (my 1st car)
>2021>CDsJust get a bluetooth FM transmitter and play music off your phone.
>>24757319CDs nuts
>>24757351ok thanks will dosill id like to have my cd player repaired bc i have some gems lying around. Whats the best i can do?
>>24757419Just get a different stereo with a CD player in it.
Do cone air filters actually do anything? Would it make my Toyota Corolla 1.4 VVTi GS sound any better?
>>24757408Definitely don't drill a whole or remove the exhaust. That is a guaranteed way to make it sound like shit.
>>24757464yeah, no, it does sound like shit i agree, but a few days ago i was sitting at a redlight when a tuned BMW launched from the right. It had the anti-lag everything. A bunch of kids were sitting on the nearby bus stop and they paid it no mind.I had my exhaust off so i decided it's my turn now. I floored it from 2nd next to the bus stop from the left lane and all the kiddos went "WOAHHH", while some old dude grumbled disapprovinglyIdk about you, but i know which car got more of a reaction from the audience :)
>>24757308In some cases it may cause your MAF sensor to throw check engine light if you don't flash new tune
>>24757380>If you're feeling a power increase from temperature fluctuation you need a mechanic, not an air cone.Every car I've driven at least a handful of times has a slight increase in pep on a cool morning (50-60 °F) vs the heat of the afternoon (80-100 °F), especially turbo cars. Cooler air is denser and any engine will be happier being able to fit more air into the cylinder, raising the volumetric efficiency. It's the same as elevation changes.That said, fuck hot air intakes. No point in them on basically any car with EFI and they demonstrably make cars like my DD (90s scoob) run like dogshit as the stock intake "snorkus" is tuned to remove an oscillation in the MAF hot wire at low RPM that makes it run absolutely pig rich.
Makes your wallet lighter and your credibility as an auto enthusiast drop.
>family trying to pick fights with each other all night>get in car>start driving>don't stop for over 400 miles>rent a weekly for now and start looking at local job postingsAll I have is my car and around 8k in the bank. Just the clothes off my back. I left an abusive situation with nothing but my vehicle. I have literally nothing, but I can't the constant abuse and fighting. I haven't been called a single time in over 14 hours, not one text. They'll likely notice I'm gone tomorrow.Is there any advice anyone can give me on how to start off and where to go? I had a job I left without notice, and I sent a long, sweet letter to multiple bosses trying to explain that I need to escape the area and leave the toxicity of my family far away from me. One already wrote me a letter of recommendation. This has all happened over the past day and I'm freaking out. I may live some days in my car if I can't find immediate work. It's a 2010 rav4 I'd rather not have to sell. In Reno by the way.
>>24752573Good for you OP
I lived out of a car for 3 years for the same reasons.. done with the life-sucking family. First year was 100days in a row of highs at least 100F, then that winter was “snowmageddon” then next year was “icepocalypse”. Already Having a marketable skill, you’re in a much better position than I was and I don’t see you living out of your car very long at all. Get comfortable lying if it persist and you can write a PO Box number so it looks like an apartment and the mail will still deliver to it. Most will not take a chance on hiring a homeless individual because it’s interpreted as being inconsistent and unreliable. leaving employer without notice was a shitty thing to do just bc you got fed up living under the same roof with the loud dysfunctional family. When I finally landed my dream job, one of their hiring policies was never hire an applicant that quit their last position without notice.
>>24755796There is a retarded chink flu that made everyone go nuts because its killing fatties, boomers (and Olympians for some reason?) and governments+corperations all over the world are taking advantage of it for power and profit. There are a ton of shady vax manufacturers that are trying to push their untested science-juiceTM onto the workforce via paying off politicians and doctors so they can turn your immune system into a subscription service and make perpetual profit with no liability (btw the federal government has declared no liability to any vax manufacturer for any side effects including disability and death. Using marketing campaigns that prey on retards hysteria a good chunk of the gen pop believes that if you aren't getting a covid vax in your arm every 6 months then you will get their family killed. As for why employers want it, its an easy way to manipulate and control a vulnerable workforce. Basically everything is hell now, the umbrella corporation from resident evil controls our lives while we hurdle towards a global great depression and you missed it all because you weren't paying attention. Have fun!
>>24756915TAKE ALL YOUR MONEY OUT OF YOUR BANK ACCOUNT AND INTO A NEW BANK RIGHT NOW, YOUR FAMILY MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET IN AND DRAIN YOUR SAVINGS AND YOU WILL BE FUCKED. OP DO THIS NOW!
>>24757549My family doesn't have access to my bank, I made sure of this the day I turned 18 when they asked me for $10k of my college fund that I was awarded from a lawsuit where I was in a car accident as a little kid, and the court pushed for protected account.
Do you take it?
>>24757623I usually just wank on the road, so probably only if I needed gas or to pee.
25 over doesn't seem to be enough for boomers who want to redline their audi q8s/escalades all day
I drive at the speed limit and never over. I always use the passing lane when there is someone in front of me because I don't want to disengage cruise control. So I pass them. Then merge back in. If there is a line of traffic I can't merge back into, then bad luck if you're stuck behind me, I'm not going to speed. We will go at the speed I want to drive, not at the speed you want to drive, you do not get a choice if you're behind someone.
>>24757215your are not legally allowed to break the speed limit at any time for any reason, even during a passing maneuver,however de facto is to exceed the speed limit by 30% during normal driving on the open road.to pass cars the speed limit is exceeded by 50 or 70%,exceeding the speed limit by 100% or more is for rude showboats who doesn't care about the crash.
>>24757610Around here people respond to that by hitting their brakes, hard
>>24757648Flash him with your PASSING LIGHTS or get over to the right before you get stuck behind him.>>24757657Get a dashcam or some balls.
>>24757665Yeah manhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiTuUr0L7Ck
What car screams "I'm a massive cuck"?
>>24757220This. I once embarrassed a BMW X5 a hilly, winding road with my puny 1.6l Mazda because i was throwing it at the corners goin 90, whereas he was shitting his pants, catching up only on the straight parts. I was embarrassing him all the way into town where he finally smoked me on a long straight stretch of road.A few days ago i was driving on the same road with 4 mates in the car. It was climbing the hills in top gear going 50. I once filled it up with premium and it started roaring like a hotrodThat car is brutal.

>>24756940>hatchbacks are gay>suggests a wagonAbsolute faggotry. Go back to jalopnik
>>24757220The problem with Mazda is they're just another normie FWD 4 cylinder plain car, but they try to market themselves as being of distinct luxury and off the charts performance like Great Value Lexus or some shit. If they just stopped being so pretentious and realized they're no better than Nissan, Honda or Toyota they would be better off, just a bunch of meh sedans and S/M/L crossovers for retards who think they've got elite styling and mad performance like some Audi, Volvo or Lexus for 50% off. Don't fool yourself there was some old Japanese craftsman guy sewing the leather onto the steering by hand and sanding the wood for the center dash for your CX-5R2D2 like the ad shows
How do I replace the shoe breaks for my 2018 Chevy Sonic? Asking mechanics or anyone that’s experienced in replacing those fuckers, is there an order to follow? Do I need certain types of tools? Also Chevy build them in 2017 for the 2018 line and uses 2017 rear shoe break parts, they’re extremely frustrating and I don’t have a lot of experience with shoe breaks
>>24757619>Servicing drum brakes on a car that's this newHow many miles does it even have? Drum shoes can last over 100k miles so do you really need to do them right now? If so go watch a youtube video nigger
>>2475762670000 miles, faggot
More info, I can’t get the last small spring to hold the bottom two breaks, I gave up when I couldn’t lock up the two, I’m not sure if I’m sequencing the springs correctly, I hooked the large spring in place securely, it’s that last small spring in the bottom that’s fucking things up.
>>24757619Just watch a YouTube video on it. I've done drum brakes on a 99 cavalier and a 00 taurus. It's a bit of a pain but entirely doable with basic tools.
>>24757660How do I hook up a small spring tho? Is there a special tool that I can use?
Automotive engineer here - not quality assurance or some other fake discipline, not a fresh grad, not an intern, not a youtuber reading wikipedia articles out loud, an actual design engineer. I make your car impossible to work on for good reason, though you think it's because I just didn't consider that anything could possibly break. Ask me anything about the industry (I won't say who I work for but it's for a manufacturer of passenger vehicles, not a supplier, and not American).
>I make your car impossible to work on for good reasonevery single mechanic knows why it's like thatcosts I will say I enjoy fixing the shitty designsreally says something about engineer when a retard like me can regularly improve on their shitty designs
>>24757590>When you are considering where to put something, everything is balanced between performance, manufacturing cost, manufacturing speed, and serviceability (both cost and speed), and obviously everything on a car competes for space. Let's take a part that is a carryover from some other previous model, and let's just pretend in this case that the conditions like heat, weather, etc. will not change, imagine the starter in the pic on a Northstar. If the part is super reliable, you can concede repair time for payoffs in packaging, manufacturing, etc.tl;dr you cut corners to save money. You would fit in great working for Tesla
>>24757647Yeah, if you can imagine how safety systems work, you have your vehicle which is traveling through space, you have an IMU, wheel speeds, sometimes you may use GPS info, steering angle, you have to figure out the speed the vehicle is traveling, yaw rate, etc. Then you have a radar and/or camera, passing you information with positions and relative velocities of objects, and you are taking control from the driver in certain cases to prevent accidents with all this information. I mostly just copypaste stuff from Stackexchange or from open source college robot projects on github and adjust it from robot speeds to car speeds, so mostly multiplication.
>>24757551northstar! I actually like the top mounted starter because I can have the intake off in 15 minutes easily and I don't have to jack up the car and get under it
>>24757662>>24757663>I know how to make the car better, spend infinite money Yes, it would be trivially easy to engineer a $100k Corolla with abysmal performance that nobody would buy, but would be easy to work on. Engineering is meeting specs under constraints. That's the entire job.
>buys a v6 camaro or mustanghahaha faggot cant afford the v8>buys a base model truck hahaha what are you poor? get the ltz or platinum or raptor if youre gonna get a truck>buys a cla or a3hhaha thats not a real merc faggotwhy do you fags promote CONSOOMERISM so much? Its like you like doing the kikes work for them
>>24757065Because with a V6 Muscle car you are not really saving much money on gas while taking a massive shit on performance
>>24757420I think you should try out a 2020+ F250, they changed something for the 2020 model year and it rides and handles no worse than an 2010 F150 99% of the time. Not 2021 level F150 but it’s much better for dailying than it has any right to be with the electronic assist steering and improvements suspension wise.
>>24757443I'm considering a 7.3 F-250 for my next truck. I'm just weary because I drive a straight axle work truck.
>>24757421you save a fuckton on gas, 21mpg vs 14mpg AND the v6 uses regular gas while the v8 takes premium only.also the v8 is only like a second faster to 60 than the v6, and outside of a track its basically almost not noticeable
>>24757065If it's built after 2005 it's trash to me
The "w" in 10w-30 stands for "winter"
>>24756516Tiny pill(easy to swallow): op is a faggot and a nigger.
>>24756523Hes not I know himNot OP by the way
OP here, I’m Trans btw if that matters

OEM chrome accents are amazing, especially on the fake exhaust outlets above the real exhaust outlet.
ITT confessions>freak out when I have to left turn on a divded road and there's a huge line of cars behind me>sometimes I'd rather turn right and make a u-turndoes anyone else know this feel
>>24757475old snowbirds
>>24757338I drove around DC once and there were signs at every intersection that said when you're allowed to right turn on red (there were different rules for different days of the week as well as different hours of the day). Weird for someone who came from a right turn on red is always legal place.They had the same signs that said what time you had to stop at pedestrian crossings. I slowed down for a guy on the side of the road once and the car behind me honked at me.
>>24757548Sounds like a dump
>>24757563It is. I've only driven in DC few times, but it reminded me of driving in Manhatten where they have a million different rules and you kind of have to learn the local driving culture to fit in. At least it was sort of the same east coast mid atlantic vibe.
>>24757113>if you're nervous standing in lines that's also a sign of autismWhere do I put my eyes if my hands are full and I can't look at my phone?????
>but but but the grill looks bad noooo it doesn't even need one!Is there a more soi and cringe opinion?
>so BTFO he made a new thread
>>24756813>it doesn't even need oneWhat did he mean by this?
>>24756813Is that an actual product by BMW? LMAO they've always looked ugly after the 80s but this is a whole new low not even nissan could make a worser looking car
>>24757330electric.
>>24756813fake grills and vents are always bad. It shows that the designers didn't care enough to make them functional in some fashion or there were cost cutting measures put into place.
