So for work I travel a lot abroad, places like Bermuda and I see a lot of these tiny kei vans. (Yes I also saw the RCR review)
I've kind of fallen in love with them and I'm considering importing one. Specifically an early 90's Honda Acty Van.
Do we have any Acty owners? Trying to get some opinions/pros/cons and things I should know first before I take the plunge. I might use it for local work but it'd be mostly for fun, not exactly a daily. Maybe a weekend thing.

They overheat.

Save yourself a massive haedache and don't import one yourself, get one that's already imported
>>
>>16972669
Yeah, I probably should've been specific. I've read it's a a real pain doing it yourself, so I was going to have a local import shop do it for me. Definitely don't want to touch that myself. I'd rather buy one that's already been imported but the damn things are like unicorns.

I want to start learning to drift. I have a 2013 Genesis coupe, but it's a open diff. I have about 3k saved, and can't decide if I should put a lsd in my car and start with it, or buy another and use it as drift only. Suggestions?

If you're serious, you're going to crash at some point. Better off buying something you can abuse.

I have a 2006 Toyota Rav4 and I drive 60 miles Monday through Thursday. Anyway, When I drive to my destination and back home I use up almost half the tank. Is this normal or is there something wrong with my car?

Your car should get about 24 MPG city according to google
Your gas tank is 16 gallons
This is basic fucking math you dipshit.
120/24 = 5
you should be going through about 1/3 your gas tank but I have a feeling you're getting less because you're an uneducated cretinous slob who can't drive and just mashes the gas at every single stop light.
>>
>>16971752
So what should I do? I usually go on a constant 70mph speed per hour. Should I go 60mph?
>>
>>16971940
Annnnd it's bait.
Can ANYTHING beat the GT-R?
The Corvette couldn't do it, and the Tesla with their fancy "instant torque" couldn't do it either.
Is the R35 GT-R the greatest car of all time?

is there anything worse for /o/tists? Had some bikefag hit my car with his faggy leather tassle thing from his bagger because I pulled out wen it was safe to do so which interrupted his weaving in and out of traffic 3 cars back.
Would be pissed but it was so fucking funny considering it was sub 15mpg traffic, was driving my shitbox, AND was approaching a stoplight.
Seriously though, why can't bikefags

Thats a broad generalization friend.
I ride a dual sport.
I obey all laws.
I dont lane split
I dont weave in and out of traffic
I dont overtake unless necessary.
I pull over for people who tailgate me
I leave a lot of follow room in front of me so im seen by side traffic.
No big deal.
We arent all stupid

>>16971583
I'm big cities we have bikes just so we can get to places faster.
Going in between traffic is a must

Im never in a hurry on my bike.
Thats how mistakes get made and people get hurt.

Im looking at getting this 1995 Volvo 850 GLT. The thing only has 40,000 miles and is pristine inside and out. The seller wants $8k. Is this fair or should I Try to talk down? Does anyone on /o/ have experience with older Volvos? Anything I should look out for?

That's too much for anything that's not a T5R or 850R.
Inspect the PCV system.

Does your front-end intimidate other drivers, /o/?
I find that a lot of drivers constantly cuck out and move aside when I pull up behind them

I daily an oversized gas guzzling de-catted cargo van all by myself just so I can be as comfortable as possible. I take up a ton of room on the road and pollute like crazy, but it's ok cause I'm more comfortable than you.

Is it crazy if I want an Audi S5 with the V8, despite knowing all the problems the 4.2 engine has, and despite knowing it has less performance potential than the newer 3.0T?
Two questions...
1. How much cheaper would that notorious timing chain service be at an independent shop instead of the stealership?
2. Is this timing chain service a one-time thing? Did Audi come up with replacement parts that will be more durable and actually last as the engineers originally intended. Seems like it would be a waste of time if they just throw the same brittle parts back in there.
Anyways... I'll go ahead and brace for the VAG hate, but thanks to anyone who actually has any useful info on this shit.

3. If completed by the previous owner(s), should the timing chain service show up the in the Carfax?

LS: lighter, cheaper, smaller, more horsepower, more torque, better in aftermarket, more documented, easier to find, and more reliable
Oh wait, /o/ autistically hates pushrods, and doesn't know a crankshaft from a valve. In that case, go for your audi moneypit.
>>
>>16970422
What are all the problems the 4.2 has ? I have one in my RS 5 and sounds amazing w/ aftermarket exhaust.
The only thing the new V6 turbos have going for them is 80 lbs lighter. And its completely new and first iteration. Who knows what kind of shit is wrong with them in their first year?

tfw i have never driven an MR car
I have high expectations.
>>
OP, there are multiple MR layouts, RMR where the engine is behind the driver, and FMR where it is in front of the driver. I prefer RMR because I use a forklift and golf cart a lot, so the handling characteristics are roughly the same between the two, which is nice, but it's really just preference as long as it's a true mid engine.
