what do you think is the best bang-for-your-buck performance mod?
i think a proper rear sway bar is the best value for money as far as performance goes.
Tires.

this was a close second for me but they are too expensive for how short of a lifespan they have imo.
What is a cool car to import to the states?
>inb4 memetr

>inb4 hurr hurr not 25
>"muh land of the free" kekekekek

Im willing to keep it hidden.

It's for financially illiterate niggers that want to seem rich by riding around in a car they couldn't afford to buy.
Have you ever driven drunk
Several times. Never caught, never injured anyone. Never will do again tho
>>17091910
i always drive drunk its too much fun i cant stop it
The real question is, have you ever driven sober?
My friend said the fastest way to stop a car is to press both brake and clutch at the same time. I think that's wrong as you want your engine to help with braking, so you should only press the brake for maximum efficiency. Who is correct?
>>17091685
>Slam on the brakes
>Wheels lock up
>Engine stalls
Yeah you're autistic OP, both feet in is the rule on the track and the street in emergency braking situations.
>>17091693
What if you press clutch at the moment of stalling? Shouldn't that be the most efficient?
>>17091685
Yes as long you don't let your engine to stall. You might need to throttle after hard braking in an emergency situation, so you might as well kick in both pedals instead of wasting time thinking about it.
engine braking in a cruising gear (4th gear and higher) is going to be negligible anyways
Reading up on the cars from the first Fast and Furious movie, specifically on the yellow Skyline that Leon was driving and found this.
>May 31, 2012, the state of Wisconsin ordered that the two models for the 1995 Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 were ordered to be destroyed, after a law in the state of Wisconsin in the USA prevented the ownership of a vehicle that doesn’t have a valid VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), especially for imported vehicles.[1][3][4]
>The owner, Justin Beno, also had a second R33 that was crushed as well, due to the fact that he attempted to sell the cars to another person and told them he could get them titled in Florida, unaware the "buyer" was an undercover agent.[3][1][4] Although Beno asked if he could ship the cars to another country, his appeal was denied, and was told he'd be free of charges if he agreed to turn over his Skylines to be crushed and compacted.

Opinions on Radar Detectors? Are they worth the price? What is the best product out there?
Any stories to share?
I bought a car that actually can get me in trouble so I want to have some comfort.
>>17089581
Depends what the cops around your place use. The city cops use lidar so detectors are useless but the Mounties and Sheriffs still use radar, so they're good on the highways.
radar detectors illegal in my state
so I simply just don't speed, it's not hard

I need to fill up the tank once a week, and it costs ~$80 every time. I cannot afford $80 a week for fuel.
How do I make this thing not consume so much fuel?
You have a 4 door R34, it's literally one step above driving an R33-20e-auto-goes-hunnitz-g in the ladder of gay as fuck RB powered cars. Fuck off, your car is fucking gay and you are too.
>>17084768
Replace it with a more fuel-efficent car. This thing isn't meant to save fuel, its meant to go fast.
Sorry but it sounds like you can't afford your car.
OR:
Maybe don't daily your (I assume, otherwise why would you drive that) dream car.
Get a cheap daily driver. That way you wont beat up your car as well.
>>17084805
Nah doesnt work as well as you think.
By the time you factor in costs for insurance and decent gear, you've already paid for fuel for a year.
And then comes the inconvenience of having a motorbike.
Little to no luggage, without spending more money. Needing to have waterproof shit. And good luck taking someone else with you, unless you want to carry around a spare helmet with you all the time

What the fuck did I do? He was far back enough, I warned him I was changing lanes and all that shit.

Bikers love to feel the victim. They're no different to pedalcucks in mentality.
Why are you on /o/?
Cars are neat and it's good to switch up home boards from time to time.
>>17083273
To pick up info about cars I don't already know. Just lurking can get you a lot of knowledge about things you didn't know about. For instance, I never heard of an oil catch can or fumoto valve until I came on /o/. Too bad it's mostly gt86 shitposting now

I drive a shitty old Jeep, so even though it's a shitbox, Ur qt gf is eying me up when I pass by with a kayak on the roof.

I know I can't be the only Abarth in America and I know for a fact they exist in decent numbers in Europe so let's talk about them!
How long have you had it? I'm seriously considering getting one.
There's one somewhere near me. Louder than I'd want for DD but it does sound neat.
>>17080370
I bought it used and have owned it a month. Has 53500 miles on it and needed a new MAP sensor and the spark plugs were needing replaced too.
Bet you fags haven't seen one of these. This my 89' Centurion C350 (factory four door bronco) 4x4 with a 460 Big Block and my woman's/the farm truck is the F250 2wd.
Also, since this picture I've taken off the headlight covers and put new OEM 89 f350 headlights in it's place, tried the blacked out look because old shitty headlights but wanted to just replace em and they look better.
>>17076319
Seen. Don't want so don't feel special, snowflake.
Cheap options to make the 5.3 sound good? Still has stock exhaust and it's really quiet. Keep it single pipe or go duel?
How many ST bros we got here? RS and Speed3 drivers welcome
+1
FiST here.
My friend just got an RS and let me drive it a few days ago and now I'm wishing more than ever for a Fiesta RS. I can live with FF, but I'd love to have the RS's steering rack and adjustable suspension, both of which are incredible.
