The 911 is closer to driving a street car converted to race car where the Super Trofeo is more a race car that looks like a street car.

Go on racing junk. There is some cool shit on there. Keep operating costs in mind. Unless you are a fucking millionaire you're not racing in Blancpain. AER, WRX, and Chump are really good racing series, AER is probably the most serious out of those. You could also race a spec series. Spec E46 looks fun. I think there is a spec ariel atom series even. I hope this isn't bait because I wanna talk race cars.

Hey /o/, I just bought a GTI DSG and it's the fastest car I've ever owned and my first turbo. How can I manipulate the gears and RPMs for maximum g-force acceleration feel? I know there are techniques like brake boosting or "building boost" but I'm not sure how they work or if I can apply them in this type of car. Right now, second gear at like 3k rpm and flooring it seems to give a pretty good pull.

It's a damn shame they went under, because they were by far the most unique of the domestic manufacturers. When you look at everything that happened to them it's amazing to think they managed to stay alive for as long as they did. Wouldn't it have been interesting if they somehow managed to get back on their feet and cut ties with Renault? I wonder what they would have made for the 90s, 2000s, and 2010s?

How can this be?

Over heating out of the blue Anonymous 2017-09-01 01:01:26 Post No. 17802411 [Report] [View this topic]

My car started overheating out of nowhere today, driving less than 10 minutes and the heat gauge is almost in the red, I haven't done anything with the coolant system recently and I made sure it was full of water which normally makes it run fine. Only thing I did recently was change the transmission fluid, I have no idea why this is happening. This is while I'm driving continuously too with no stops so its not from sitting still

Probably fucked the cooling system by putting water in it. Really needs coolant to lubricate the pump, seals, and prevent corrosion.

EBAY SILICONE COOLANT HOSE Anonymous 2017-08-31 11:08:53 Post No. 17802006 [Report] [View this topic]

Hey /o/

I'm writing to ask if anyone of you have first or secondhand experience with non name brand Ebay silicone coolant hoses.

I have been looking for a set for my 1986 AW11 Mr2, and the only set of silicone lines that I have been able to find are Chinese sellers on Ebay, and one fellow located in the U.K. whose prices are 3x and up on the coolant hose sets.

My hoses are currently fine, I'm just doing this in a preventative manner.

the link below is the set I'm considering.

This is the one non Chinese seller that I have found,and with the exchange rate and shipping it ends up being nearly $160.00, whereas the other kit listed above is $59.00 shipped.

Is the price difference worth it? Will these lines Burst? Will they be able to handle the Montana Winter of -20 F?

I will also somewhat shamefully admit that I purchased several lengths of bright red silicone vacuum lines and replaced the spider web of lines inside my engine bay, also as preventative maintenance, and found those lines to be high quality and they haven't melted yet.

I'm not doing this to be rice or anything, I just don't like the idea of a line bursting on me one day, and I believe the lines are all original from 86'

Hype, marketing, and a healthy dose of Elons reality distortion field.

It also helps that they started with luxury cars and worked their way down. This creates lust among the plebs who will then put down enormous deposits so they can get the chance to buy a crappier version of the luxury car 3 years later.

Why would you pretend to be retarded and make Americans look bad?

Because Europeans currently drive two door cuckboxes with sub 2L engines that go no faster than 60KM/H. There's no way the Islamic Caliphate of Yuropooristan would allow anything better, as that would be haram.

20 years ago today, the world's greatest touge battle went down. Fiat Uno Vs Mercedes 190E, on Pont de l'Alma, France. It was a touge battle so intense, it LITERALLY ended touge racing altogether, as it resulted in the death of the occupants in the Mercedes. Allegedly, the Fiat driver was the inspiration for Shingo in Initial D, as they both used similar tactics.

So tell me /o/, where were you when this toe-gay battle took place?
