Why do you even need new headlights?

Neither, get used oem or oem looking aftermarket

those ebay headlights looking fucking terrible. Try and find a used pair of OEMs somewhere.

I had a chance to buy a 1983 Porsche 911 complete shell, just missing the engine for 4k during the recession. I passed because i didn't have time fix it. it was worth x6 more in just a few years.

>>16968281
good thing you didn't buy it, we don't need another ruined Porsche

I can't really see 996s depreciating any more while 986s appreciate

>>16968077
They're okay with me as long as it's something later than the 70's. I actually like the 80's G-bodies when they're nigged or spicced up

I adore g-bodies but fucking despise texas nignog Cadillacs

>>16968077
Don't really mind them, they can be done very tastefully which is more than can be said for stance.

Are you sure that's not just the red line limiter kicking in
Seems like a reasonable top end for a truck

>>16967848
Do a compression test

>>16967866
>this


but it could also be a fueling issue so do a fuel pressure test as well first

The focus is just a poorly built mazda 3.
The mazda 3 will be less boring than the civic.

My vote is mazda 3 after havig driven all 3.

>>16967617
Just get a civic for 3k. 2001-05

Like a literbike engine, NOT like a fucking Honda 4 cylinder you find in a car, They sound fucking horrific. Yes, That includes expensive as fuck SPOON or whatever engines, They all have they ricey rasp that only a turbo can muffle.The only way to make a 4 cylinder sound good is with antilag and a rally tune and even then they're just meh.

A taste of freedom in a cucked shithole.

intake (manifold, throttle body,air box (CAI))
exhaust(headers,catalytic converters, exhaust size)
injectors
fuel pump
mass air flow size
Stock tune is usually for 87 octane fuel

Older cars really benefit from that, newer cars are more hit or miss since most parts are well designed for the car, not to drop the power so it gets some efficiency pass

By necessary, do you mean "potentially"?

>all emission equipment
>injection system
>turbo pressure
Remove the first, modify the other two. Note; doing this improperly will kill your engine

>>16967013
Does the length of the intake negatively affect anything, like throttle response? If I were to ever modify the intake I would make a proper CAI which involves routing the intake as close to the outside as possible. I guess the benefit of having a cold air feed would outweigh the possible drawback of a mile long intake, right?

Literally who?

>>16966637
Yeah, I have one in my driveway. In Deepwater Blue

>>16966842
>>16966637
Also I wouldn't call it well built. Sun visors droop, cup holder housing broke, gas tank meter reads incorrectly when low, front passenger seat squeaks in the cold, wind noise creeping through window sealants on cold highway drives, driver door armrest squeaks, rear passenger door squeaks occasionally

Engine and transmission are great though.

i wish them the best, someone has to sit at the bottom and keep everyone else a bit worried lest they all slack the fuck off and we get Honda acting like they did in 2007 or GM like they did from 1990 to 2015

>>16966430
No

>>16966430
Yes

>>16966430
Maybe

>>16966407
5er and up are executive class. They're meant to be smooth and easy to drive. BMW achieved their goal here, if you want to get brute racing power get the M3 or Z4.

What is this in English?

136mph, do they not have Google yet where you live? What about the ability to multiply something by 0.62?

If you don't understand electronics you should probably leave this to someone else before you either destroy your sub, or catch your car on fire.

This is probably a better question for diy

I got no idea how to do it right, but check this out.

I've got an EVGA 1070 FTW in my rig, and I can set it to work the back light in relation to the sound, yeah? So what you can do is get one of those, and then go get a shitbox core2 dell from goodwill and stuff it in the trunk. Send your audio in through the Line In port, click 'listen to this input', then run it to your amp. After you do this, use a diode to tap off of the back light from the card and use that to trigger the light strips.

Boom, ezpz.
