This things always crack me up. They're sort of an abomination, but I love how no one gives a fuck when making them.

Why is Lexus so far ahead from Infiniti and Acura?
What can Lexus do to catch up to Mercedes-Benz and BMW now that the Germans are becoming meme brands?
>>17664511
They never will and infiniti is still ahead.
>>17664511
Lexus are shit if you are a car enthusiast because they are underpowered as fuck while being pigfat.
Uhh guys? Am I gonna get robbed?
>>17664441
Possibly
>>17664441
Just don't take cash
>>17664441
Probably. But maybe he is just sick of people coming and wasting his time. Bring a friend with.
> tfw fell for the NA Miata meme
Just sold it to my brother for the same price I bought it for though so no big deal. Where do I go from here though? I'd still love to get a small quick roadster but the Miata was just too slow and old for me to justify spending thousands on tuning to make it better to drive. I'm thinking a MR2 would be perfect for cruising would you guys reccomend one?
>>17664428
What price range? Considered a chrysler crossfire?
>>17664428
If you still really want a roadster then see if you can find an s2000. If you just want something with more power then the options are plentiful
>>17664459
Out of my price range I'd kill for one though. Really I'm thinking like the mr2 is my only option.
so I am gonna go look at a 86 toyota 2wd truck next week. anything I should look for? It's $500 and supposedly only needs a battery and a blinker in the front. the body looks like it's been patched up a little
Bring a battery and see if it runs when connected to it
>>17664494
I was just gonna try and jump it
That picture is a 89 to 95

did you have good experiences today while driving /o/?
I was driving home in my camaro at like 2 in the morning and I was heading through a 4 way stop near my house that always has tons of burnt rubber in the middle, and when I rolled up to the stop there was a copper in his charger already stopped.
sure enough, he slowly creeps forward and suddenly he's doing a massive burnout in the middle of this intersection
it was pretty cool
>be me
>getting out of school (im not underage anymore)

Give me some feedback on this /o/. Worth checking out? also, what parts would i need / would be good to replace if i were to buy it and just replace the head?
>>17660444
Getting a new engine would be less hassle then having redo the head. If you have the dough just go ahead and do a M50/M52 swap as its pretty much just a bolt in.
Other than that, the suspension and the coolant system will probably need to be replaced if hasn't been done already.
>>17660466
agreed, but im on a budget. I know thats already a negative if im looking to buy a car that needs work, but i figure putting a new head on it can't be too terribly complicated, and i can get plenty of help. later down the line id like to mod it and motor swap but for now i just need a daily
>>17660444
Where in phoenix are you?
Fellow desert fag that knows a little about E36s here.
I would budget getting an entirely new (used) motor to drop in. Then when the car is runing and sell the left overs to recop costs. It's a pain in the dick to pick up somebodies project and I don't ever trust motors that have been left open like this one has.
This is a long shot, but around two years ago this thread came up and a number of people submitted designs for a nice, discreet car stereo. No flashing color changing sharp edges with 20 buttons bullshit.
I know I saved them, but I can't find them now.
If anyone knows what I'm talking about, I'd love to have them again for reference in a project I'm working on.

This?
>>17660020
It was just /o/'s take on what a decent looking stereo would look like, made in photoshop. Still looking through about 300gb of saved pictures trying to find it.
>>17660033
>>17660020
From what I remember, it looked similar to that link.
Brushed aluminum face, one knob on the left side for volume. No flashy lights, simple screen, two or three buttons?
I'm getting sick of looking for a decent head unit that doesn't look like fast n the furious, so I've ordered a few parts to make my own and I remember the designs /o/ came up with being extremely aesthetic.

I'm December, what is that? Looks gud
Hello gentlemen, I have a question about Alfa Romeo Giulietta.
Let's say I have the 1.4 turbo engine, 120bhp.
What is the difference between the 1.4 120bhp and the Multiair 1.4 170bhp?
If it is just the Multiair feature, I read that it changes how the valves behave (I'm making it simple right now).
If the difference is just on the timing of the valves, would it be possible thru the engine control unit to change this parameter and get the 170bhp out of my 120bhp?
I really can't understand if there are any other differences components wise, besides the Multiair.
correct me if im wrong but its basically variable valve timing so the construction of the engine will be different then a non VVT engine
>>17658065
I'm not a total expert on this so that's what I'm asking.
I thought that nearly everything in the engine was controlled by the ECU, so I was wondering if this was one of the parameters that could be changed in the ECU.
Would be nice if we got this car in the states.
