is there a way to recover from understeer like you can with oversteer or are some tire shops just outright retarded?
i got new tires on the rear of my car while the fronts are at 5/32 and now i keep understeering in some corners since the fronts are now the first to give in a cornering situation
Just replace all your tires at once and rotate them every once in a while.
just put a new one on the front and another on the rear homie
Only understeer recovery i know of is to use the brake a little, like left foot braking. Also the more you steer, the more you understeer. Keep wheels straight to recover traction, or use the clutch.
Also put rear tires on the front. In the garage I work in we always put less worn tires in the front if the vehicle is fwd. Your shop must literally want your death.

First learnt with a Corona Liftback as a young lad.
As earlier as I can remember he had a Y61 Patrol.
Sold the patrol for a 67 Mustang coupe sight unseen with multiple problems. (Mid-life crisis) LHD to RHD conversion gone wrong, the 390 had oil problems. Eventually decided to throw it in the shop for a full resto and all new drive and running gear. Been in the shop for almost 5 years now. Due out some time this year. Easily a 6 figure car now.
Bought a 300C new around 07. (same-ish time as the above)
Had for several years then on one holiday his mistress's shit head kids and their mates broke into the house, trashed said house, peeled the Chrysler through the garage door, down the street and was running on steel by the time it was around the corner. Written off. Cunts weren't charged (underage + bitch bailed). They still give us grief, one foot in the jail cell.
DD's MB ML500. Has a 5.5 V8tt. He quotes it "Looks like a soccer mum's car, but pulls like a 16yo." Low 13 second 1/4. I like driving it but can't not easy to drive hard as the drive-by-wire has a 2 second delay.
Now he ordered an RHD 17 Mustang 5.0 last year that arrives next month in time for his 50th. Bought under the premise that he owned a stang from his birthyear and one for his 50th. Like a half century thing. I call it the "2-star".
Cont.
I searched the catalog and the archive and couldn't find anything, so here goes.
What is /o/'s opinion on the 124? I know it's a Fiata but is it any impressive in real life? Does it actually sound as cool as the advertising says it does?
Also, what about its lackluster performance in a straight line? /o/tists love to make fun of the acceleration of the BRZ/FRS, but it seems the 124 is just as slow?

Have you seen one in real life? YouTube videos and marketing material make it seem like it sounds aggressive and exotic, but I'm wondering how true that is.
I love the look of generic, bland cars from the 90's like the Neon, Paseo, or any other poverty car with like styling. Anyone feel the same?
for an economy car? yes I would prefer something bland as opposed to something that's trying too hard to convince you it's not a shitbox.
I don't prefer it to styling on better cars though.
Yes.
They have a humble charm.

So I guess an ES is just a rebadged camry and a infinity q whatever is just a rebadged altima
Fucking hell, most modern cars are seriously so fucking ugly.
When, if ever, is a replica OK?
>>17022079
When no version of the original exists
When you make it yourself, actually do a good job, use a base car that at least halfway makes sense, and don't try to sell it as an original.
The moron using a Cobalt or a Cougar for his Veyron "tribute" is a moron. What you posted is mostly OK by most people's standards.
Then again, if you have the skills to make a car that 90% resembles another, why bother making a replica of anything? Make something completely new. Shit, half the stupid Beetle kit cars were their own design that only drew inspiration from others, and most of those are pretty fucking cool.

My car has been extra bumpy while driving. Here's a pic of my right and left rear tires. The right appears to be too close to the underbelly/body of the car. What is the problem? Is it the right rear shocks/struts or something?
>>17021306
take it to the junkyard and buy something more efficient
If youre gonna waste gas, then at least do it in something nice and cool, like a newer suv not that ugly boiler

Does not compute
so i was pulling out in a speed limit zone of 65 and there was a car about 150-250 yards ahead so i thought i could go however when i pulled out he braked really hard to the point he almost hit me. how fast do you think he couldve been fucking going for him to almost hit me even when braking like that?
>150-250 yards
I'd say maybe 55-60
>>17021120
are you fucking braindead there's no way he could have been going that fast and had smoke flying out
>>17021168
I think you are the brain-dead one. 150 yards is barely enough to stop for normal people.
Should I buy this?

Do it.
If you plan on doing it up sure.
Automatic which is a shame, the only auto Alfa I've driven was a 159 which compared to the manual counterpart wasn't as nice.
Never driven a 164 though, go see it and have a drive if you can. It's still got the busso V6.
