Not sure if anyone else does this, but I have gone through 3 cars so far. Each one I bought including the first one, I thought was pretty cool and I bought it because I liked it. After owning each car I progressively start to find things about it that bother me, like the way it looks at certain angles, lines, etc. And then I sell it because of said reasons and get something else. And it starts all over again. Anyone do the same thing? Will it ever end?

I got my first little shitbox /o/

It's a 2016 Nissan versa note with a CuckVT and it's by far the shittiest car I've ever owned but I decided I wanted to save up for something nice and this shitbox is paid for. Besides I'll take the shitbox out when I don't want to take the nice car out so I needed one anyways.

What are some basic requirements for all shitboxes? I already ordered some speakers since the factory ones are trash, but what else does one need to do?

Can I learn how to drive manual by using a steering wheel set and a simulator like Assetto Corsa? I don't have access to an actual manual car, since I don't know anyone who drives one. I know it's obviously not like the actual thing, but I want to practice basic movements and motions beforehand.

That's fucking stupid. It only takes a couple hours in a real car. If you haven't learned by this point in time it's kind of pointless. Manual cars are now obsolete and their numbers are dwindling.

>>16820721
Lol, I think the Stanza fits you perfectly. Cavalier would be a close second.

You have been selected by a "racing team" to serve as their driver I'm the 24 hours of /o/time.
Here are the rules
1. No autotragics
2. Only 1 driver per car
3. No pitstops longer than 1 hour
4. If your car breaks down you have to push it into the pits or be disqualified
5. All cars are to be equipped with a throttle overide to make them go faster if the driver is going to slow
6. Cars must be memeworthy
7. The race lasts 24 hours, no breaks, most laps wins
8. Their are 5 classes; motorcycles/scooters, cars with less than 150hp, cars with 150 to 500 hp, cars with more than 500 hp, and semis/busses
9. Only vehicles with an even number of cylinders or an odd number of rotors are allowed, hybrids and electrics can only have their batteries charged by a handcrank generator used by the driver
10. No driver safety equipment allowed except leathers and helmets for bikes, this includes rollcages and seatbelts

Your racing team allows you to choose the car. You can choose any appropriately meme worthy vehicle, and choose any legal engine into it.

What do you choose?

Pic related, you also get to choose a youtuber as your pit chief. You'll need a themesong too.

A civic for 3k with 3 alter- I mean turbos in daisy chain and a fiero body kit on the civic with a really fat wing on the trunk an lsd conversion kit and red conversion kit. Black ice and racing stripes to make it go faster and oh so fresh. Mazda miata lights that blink or what ever that meme is too and a Renault twingo badge and a vape window built into the dash. Engine swapped with an ls1. The radio only plays Eurobeat

>>16820806
Replace the windows with plastic bags and duct tape to save on weight. And an Allison transmission to go with it and an aluminum body with a tool kit in the back seat just in case J need to make speed holes in my bed

>red conversion kit
I meant rwd conversion kit

ok, so i've been really interested in rally and want to become a driver. how would i start out? i was thinking maybe volunteering at rallys and getting to know people involved, or becoming a rally mechanic to get started. does anyone here have any advice for me to achieve this goal?

Get a manual shitbox and enter local rally events. You're bound to beat someone.

>>16820698
i don't really know where to find local events though.

>>16820656
I'm in the exact same boat. Only problem is I live in Missouri, and I haven't been able to find any events or clubs or anything rally related around here.

Is it a bad idea to have a lift kit installed on your car? My truck needs suspension work and I'm considering a 3 inch lift kit. Also, does lifting the car provide a smoother ride?
40 posts and 11 images submitted.
>>
really need to do your homework on the ride. search forums etc. they all are different.
>>
>>16820582
Generally it makes the ride rougher and more rattley than stock. It also lowers mpgs and makes the truck much slower around corners.

custom will always cost more than a produced one. a 990 superduke does have a similar look if you change the gas tank

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look that up. Yeah, it does look similar.
