>>24221503>>24221547Definately something I noticed with it is that without all the smogshit it had on it, it has noticeably more power and runs much nicer. Would it be worth it to see if a machine shop could machine the head intake/exhaust ports to increase flow? All I really want to do to it is cam, headers and a new carb, maybe a new manifold as well. An electric fuel pump seems like it would be a good investment as well, make it easier to start in the morning. Honestly, I wouldn't mind an efi conversion for reliability if nothing else but I can't really see any way to do that that doesn't cost more than the whole drivetrain is worth, and maybe my google skills are weak but I haven't ever seen somebody do a custom one either.
>>24221597Honestly, he isn't stretching it that much. The air intake systems on the 305s were usually really flow restrictive. With better airflow and a better cam I can imagine it makes a bunch more power. Pic related is the stock 305 out of my car, it has terrible airflow. I'll bet with bigger headers and unrestricted air intake it gains a much higher rev range as well.
Got my quarter panel delivered today. I just need that outer rocker and I'm ready to go
>>24221747Just swapping an air cleaner is not going to make an extra 50hp
>>24221893>he doesnt own a KeN air filter
I don't care if your Teslas Plaids are faster. Porsche did plaid in the 70s and it was better lol
>>24219770That is just aa great looking Oster
>>24219699for me, it's getting a real car
>>24219959how fast does a Tesla go around the Nurburgring?just admit that it's the equivalent of putting a 1000hp engine in a Nissan Altima
>>24219959I've read alot of dumb responses on /o/ but this is the reigning champ of 2021
>>24221528faster than your shitbox, and the plaid hasn't even attempted it yet
I didnt listen to you guys when some of you said being a mechanic sucks ass, what's a car related job that wont make me want to kill myself? Worst part about the job to me is needing to get lucky to make enough hours for the day. Many days it seems like it's only oil changes and tire rotations with no upsells and I'm only getting .3 or .6 hours per car, which is retarded. Help me out
>>24219252Cause you got into the wrong kind of mechanics. I do pre war/classic car mechanic work and it's the best fuckin job.>get paid hourly rate regardless of job>get to drive/work on some super rare, cool cars>lots of fabrication/machine work to break up the monotony of greasemonkey work
>>24219594Problem with working at the stealership is you do it 80 hours a week
>>24219252You're relying on a gay service writer to get you paid. Go work for CarMax. I get to write whatever the fuck I want up on a car and if I didn't even diag it correctly I still get paid. It's nobody's car and as long as you show up on time and aren't a faggot they'll literally let you put whatever you want on a car as long as it needs it or you think it needs it. I've worked on a lot of cool shit too, vettes, miatas, mustangs, BRZ, sti, had a few Evo 10s roll through, bmw M cars, V12 s classes. The money is kinda In the econoboxes but I get fucking PAID anytime I touch a bmw or Mercedes and they generally aren't too hard to work on if you know what you're doing and with enough time you will git good or you'll find out it's not for you.
>>24219252The goal with being a mechanic is to use working as a shop as experience to do your own thing later on or sub-specialize into something you're passionate about.Working at some boomer ran shop that pays you peanuts and expects you to foot most of the bills on mistakes and tools is shit.
>>24219272>Are any of you in the auto body industry? I feel like that would be much more enjoyable, if you pivot to this, take the PPE seriously. Dust is death.
Why would you buy anything else?
>>24220537>has a wrb 2020 wrx>vapes>am 21stop
In theory I'd love to, I just can't get over how ugly it is.
>>24219811I wouldn't, that's why I bought one. Great car and an absolute blast in the winter with snow tires.
>>24219811nice camry bro
>>24219811I was thinking about buying one of these but half the used listings had "new engine"

How is it possible that a hybrid gets 50 mpg on the highway?I've read that it's because you aren't always accelerating on the highway when you catch up to the pack of cars.But, 50 mpg seems crazy when the best gas car only gets 30+ mpg.

ITT rarest car you've ever seen in person1 of 10 apollo IE
>>24221743i also saw one of these era silver ghosts once
>>24206865They either don't sell these in Canada, or our rules about blind people not being allowed to drive are enforced. Either reason, I've never seen this model year in my life. Looks like if the Chinese tried to copy some sort of Alfa Stelvio.>on topicCouple of people with Aston Martins and GTRs in Chinatown. Quatraporte yesterday just driving down by the mall.We don't get many fancy cars here. Rust is too strong and the season is short to drive them. Most people move to warmer weather when they have fuck-you money. The ones that don't tend not to have outdoor hobbies.
Suzuki X-90 is quite rare, although there's thousands aroundI've seen two Veyrons, although it might have been the same one in different showrooms different yearsGuy in my street has an E-Type, another has an NSX-RIf museums count, I saw plenty of rare ones in Sinsheim
