What car is this?
>>24219897some type of kit car. Probably a Beetle underneath.
>>24219897>>24219908To add, it's modeled after a Ferrari Dino
>>24219958I think it has Dino written on the front logo, you're right. Thank you so much
I don't know

Which one is better for investment purposes? I'm talking storing it and selling upon appreciation for returns.
>>24219952>car>an investmentthere's a classic saying lad. If it's got tits or tires, it's going to be a net negative for your wealthjust buy real estate instead
>>24219952haha yeah no taco or lc is a good long storage of value
Tacoma is a chad mobile, land cruiser is for hipster fags from Oregon
>>24219952Tacoma. Land cruiser is already way out of your financial league
>>24221296no hipsters buy the landcruiser, they'd rather buy teslas than spend 85k on an suv that has the technology of a 2009 car. the only people buying landcruisers today are stealthwealth people.
Help me decide /o/ - do I get a Trans AM WS6 or a C4 Corvette? How long on average do both cars last, which is more "reliable", what yields a better driving experience overall? What years should I be looking for on them? Which engine is ideal on the C4, and are any of them as good as the LS1? I love them both, but can only afford one, and I'm pretty retarded and need help. They both make my peepee hard.
>>2421963304 GTO has nicer interior, better handling, better brakes than F-Body but corners similar on numbers (GTOs weigh more + fit less tire). Look outside of state. A built auto is better for drag racing. You have to decide whether you want to replace 4L60Es or 10 Bolt Rears. The GTO has the 4L65E which is a little stronger. Find a car that already has a built automatic. I'd still take a good long look at the 11-14 Mustang GTs. They're great cars.
>>24219648That's the plan, whatever I get I want to keep it forever, and I have enough love for the C4, WS6 and GTO to where I wouldn't ever want to part with them barring catastrophic circumstance because all 3 of them were some of my favorite cars from an early age. Any of the 3 would represent a really long term goal coming to fruition and would mean a lot to me. >>24219659It's crazy to me that the GTOs weigh more. I've never bought a car out of state so I'll have to figure out the logistics of that if it comes to it. Is there anything to look out for when it comes to built automatics, like red flags I mean? That era of Mustang is cool and I've had a few friends with them, they are indeed great cars, but I just don't have the same love for them.
>>24219659Really appreciate your help by the way man.
>>24219686>built automatics, like red flags I meanhonestly unsure, i guess if it drives well/doesn't slip? it'll def shift stronger/harsher and kick more. might be better off asking a f-body forum. i know the 4l80e or 4l85e is a common upgrade
>>24219694Fair enough, makes sense. I'll have to find an f body forum and start asking questions, that's a good idea.
350z or 370z?
>>24220895>>24220914why do you refer to it as g35?
>>24221033They're referring to the Infiniti G35, which is a Nissan product with the same engine and many shared parts as 350z. Biggest differences are interior design and length. G35 is longer and has two part driveshaft while 350z has carbon composite single piece driveshaft. I believe all the suspension parts are the same.
>>24221105G35 has normal fucking door handles. 350z has weird ugly handles that break.
>>24221120maybe its because you have fat hands
>>24221271Of course I do, compared to tiny Nip ticklers.
Bros, should I buy a Maverick?
>>24221152Only the XL doesn’t get the keypad on the door, what are you talking about?
>>24221152>Doesn’t look like they offer the keypad entry though, wtf.I can't find it listed in the options but the keypad is clearly visible in the preview shots
>>24221230It’s so standard on everything other than work trucks that Ford doesn’t even bother listing it anymore.
>>24221247It's a stick-on cheap standalone option on the Ranger. I have it on other vehicles and like it, but not enough to pay for an ugly door wart.to pay extra for a door wart.
>>24221217>>24221230>>24221247I apologize for my ignorance
Noob ass questions I can't find the clear answer to on google.I picked up a J30 Maxima 1992 with a VE30DE V6 engine. The manifold is busted and I want to replace them with some headers. From my understanding headers will need a tune. So how do I get one? Can I get a haltech ECU and just take it to someone to get it tuned? How do I know what computers will work on my 92?
eyeyeyyyyy, this aint a yota thread!
>>24220865Why? Replace what's broke and enjoy your antique.
>>24220963>>>24220865 (OP)>Why? Replace what's broke and enjoy your antique.The stock manifolds are shit and rust out. If I am going to buy a replacement, why not get something that is going to last longer and sound better?
>>24220865You dont need a tune for headers, just put them on and go
So this is to all K20 owners, but especially Accord, TLX, and Civic R owners. Have any of you adjusted the valves, what mileage, why did you do it, and did you do it yourself or take it to some place? I never adjusted my own valves because because I never had a car that I needed to. Ya I had a V6 accord in the past, but I didn't have that for 30k miles before the accident.
>>24221192Honda does not have self adjusting valves. They start to lose power and be less gas efficient. Honda makes the most reliable engines in i4 and v6 in the world, and that's one of the reasons why.
>>24221199>Honda does not have self adjusting valves.So? The only Honda engine I've ever had to adjust the valves on is my S2000 purely because they sometimes come overtightened from the factory.>they start to lose powerI would be pressed if you could measure this at all on a dyno
Yes you need to adjust your valves.. but certain older motors need it..d16y8. 110k miles. Could hear and feel a difference..k20a2 160k miles no change.
>>24221238The K20c in the modern hondas doesn't really share anything with the old K20's Regardless you do not need to adjust your valves at all.
>>2422106160k miles in theory, usually you don't need to unless you hear valvetrain noise.
Does anyone like Excursions?Green is the best color for them IMO.
>>24221232i saw a diesel one the other day. they're pretty cool. forgot they existed.
Post trashed cars that around your town/city

>>24221244sure thing virgin.
I've heard of people mounting wings directly to the uprights in the rear so the doesn't go through the suspension and make the car squat at high speeds. Wouldn't this effectively be unsprung mass and if so how would it affect handling?
>>24220837The main issue is loss of downforce on bumps. The sudden change of motion will give a sudden lack of downforce. So unless the surface is very smooth it's dangerous.
>>24220837It would make handling worse, anon.
What does Chrysler need to do to become relevant and not die? They have the name recognition, but no value in current lineup besides minivan. Btw, the Pacifica is the best minivan and only hybrid. But one car isn’t enough to save a name. I am a fan of FCA, and am excited by the Stellantis merger, but clearly some of their 14 brands under Stellantis are going to need to go. The idea of Chrysler sedans and crossover coming back with their combined tech and look is exciting. So, if Chrysler is to survive how would you do it? I have my own thoughts but want to hear from auto
>howbecome a better company? IDK
Nobody cares about this shitty boomer brand, the fact that they are even still around should be a crime. These stupid niggers have done nothing but bring shame to the USA for the past 40 years.
>>24220403NO
>Lincoln makes nothing but boomer/soccermom crossovers>Cadillac focusing on making nigger starshipsThere's a niche to be filled as no one is making an old-school landboat anymore. Same with personal luxury cars, they would have no competition in the space. If you actually did a really cool retro design and didn't cheap out I could see it selling well.
>>24220330Bet if there's a Hellcat-powered Atlantique in it for me.
My family is thinking about buying an Escalade with the 3 liter Duramax inline 6 engine. We've already driven it a few times and like it but the timing system is at the rear of the engine which concerns me.Cams are chain driven and GM claims that you only need to service the oil pump belt every 150,000 miles but it seems like you have to detach the transmission to do it. Is this going to be more trouble than it's worth?
>>24220745They have a US based engine and body
>>24212485When does it go on sale?
>>24213684It's missing the chrome dog dishes, Anon.
>>24212385>two timing chains already>lets run a timing belt for the oil pump>OFF THE BACK OF THE ENGINEjfc they do know that just dropping a transmission + tcase is about as much work as just pulling an engine, right?
>>24213780That would be fucking sick man. It's like an understated, performance-oriented Escalade without any of the blingy shit.>lowered ride height>6.2L engine>basic interior>none of the horrible Cadillac flashy touch button garbageOh man

Is it just me or is this a game changer for car and bike theft? Just hide this in any one of a billion places in your car, and as soon as you notice your car is missing just send the cops to its location.
>>24219665They're just a multinational consumer electronics company that makes PCs. They aren't the second coming. Why would you hype them beyond what they are?
>>24219472This is actually a great idea, I don't have an iPhone, but my wife does and there's probably a Samsung (equivalent which won't work as well). Put a few in my car and bike
Actually not a bad idea considering the fact nearly every new car has someone in it with their phone paired via bluetooth for music or apps
