Britfag reporting in. I'm going to get my next car soon and was looking at a 200SX - insurance isn't too bad, they go for around £5000 for a relatively clean one, come with an SR as standard and I want a mememobile to hoon around in.

I would change the bumpers to the JDM-spec Silvia bumpers as the UK ones are fuck ugly.

Persuade me not to buy one.

In Feb I bought a brand new WRX STI.

Since then (and about 8200km) I could swear it's exhaust is getting louder.

Is this possible? Other people are saying the same thing, but how can this be... what exactly is changing?

Going to buy either a 2017 Focus ST or 2017 GTI (manual). The pictures accurately represent colors/wheels.

ST pros:
- More HP and torque
- Looks nicer (imo)
- About $7k cheaper
- Less expensive to repair

ST cons:
- Not german engineering
- Lower resale value
- Probably less reliable

GTI pros:
- German engineering
- More sophisticated (imo)
- Better quality interior
- Probably more reliable

GTI cons:
- More expensive
- 2018 model is the facelift and the LED tails + updated interior will make the 2017 look outdated quickly

Did I miss anything?

What year/model prius is the best and why?

Yeah I know the batteries are bad for the environment and after about 100k miles it'll be replaced.

hey fags, its me, capri fag here.

in the last thread I had about it someone mentioned that depending on the model it would be worth more than the rest and that anon mentioned something about the badges. I had access to it today and grabbed these two badges to see if that anon is around and can confirm if they're normal badges or something a little more special.

In two days I'm actually going out to see what the damage is so I'll post again then since some anons actually seemed interested in its condition.

pic related is on the side of the car

>DO NOT try to start your car.
>Check your oil, if there is water on the dipstick, that means if you had started your car, the water and the oil would have mixed together and run through the engine.
>Change your oil.
>Check your air filter for water, if it's dry, you're fine.
>If it's wet, change your air filter, and remove your spark plugs so there's no pressure/vacuum in the engine.
>Shouldn't be a problem, but don't change your spark plugs if the engine is hot. The cylinder head is likely made of aluminum which is malleable when hot, and you could ruin the threading.
>Now try to start your car, the engine will shoot out any of the water that was in the engine.

Anyone ever noticed the difference between European car detailers and American detailers?

European detailers always use a shitload of high priced cleaners and equipment and take a good while to detail a whole car while American detailers are more practical and efficient and maybe use 3 to 4 economical cleaners and equipment. Most professional American detailers have pretty handy technique that make the work much faster and easier while Europeans do everything you would see an a chemical guys video.


Europoors are awful at making cars, but they are also awful at cleaning them
