Hey /o/ im in need of a little help.
I have a 1998 astrovan 2wd, and im replacing the ignition lock and housing. The current one doesnt have passlock but will one that does have passlock work as a replacement, or is there more to the system?
>Tl;dr can i use a passlock ignition lock if the previous one didnt have it?
Thanks
>Pic semi-related
What do you guys think about a car that's the same as yours parking next to you? I've talked with friends and they said they hate when a car with the same make and model park next to them but I love when it happens.

Why would you hate it? You'd rather have some dickhead in a shitbox park next to you and ding your shit up?
>>17533906
>tfw you have a car so rare this will never happen
feels goodman
>>17533906
I don't mind. It means that driver is paying attention and the chance of such a driver dinging my car is far less than from some "dun care" atttitude person.
Im almost complety finished ricing my ride with this new 90's r16 audi rims, i think now i should pain them black and be finally able to join /o/ club?

Paint them a glossy black & get window tint, then lower it 2-3cm.
>>17533875
then i can join right? :)
Joking aside i have been actually thiking of tinting my windows actually, never done it before so i will probably fail
>>17533842
why did you put wheels from an older model on it?
what's the best way to clean your car without FUCKING UP the paint?
i cant stand the look of paint with hundreds of micro scratches
makes me wanna take a blowtorch and set that fucked up car on fire

Hi all. I'm looking at thinking about buying a used Toyota Celica.
Just looking for some advice really.
Aside from its stunning looks, I only need it for my daily drive to and from work, which is around 5 miles round trip. This one is up for £1200.
Got FSH. And a years MOT and it's done 150k miles.
Are they reliable? Is something gonna fuck up with it and end up costing me the earth?
What's your impression of Celicas?
Many thanks in advance for your opinions and help.

import a twingo.
Import a Twingo.
>>17533639
OP if you are not from the states then a Twingo is your best option. If you are from the states, importing a Twingo is the best option

Si o no, /o/? I figure if it runs the price is worth the shit I'd have to replace.

What is it with people that own FWD cars say that "it feels and drives like a RWD car"?
i quite honestly hear this quite a lot from Honda owners (specifically Prelude owners) and some Toyota Celica owners (even reviewers say that it feels like a RWD). the only time i really drove a RWD car would be a '96 Toyota Land Cruiser (J75) and it handles like a fucking boat due to it being 2600kg
i currently own a T230 Toyota Celica with a 2zz in it and it handles and drives like a fucking dream which everytime i drive it, it pretty much makes me feel like the happiest anon on earth and the only friend that i have that does own a RWD car has a SW20 N/A MR2 which would let me drive his car once i get my licence (currently on learner's, studying up for the test) and thats fun to even ride in and even gotten up to 180kph while being the passenger of his car (previous record was 145kph)
Because those Hondas have less understeer than other FWD cars, and the back can sort of swing out. Some Preludes had four wheel steering too which could confuse someone into thinking it feels RWD.
Still dumb to say it feels RWD. Maybe at low speeds and if you have no sense of what your car is doing.
>car looks like rwd
>car feels like rwd
Lmao
Just because you can loose traction at the rear wheels doesnt mean a car is, or feels like whatever drivetrain someone wants to spout

not in Australia however because of muh ATTS unit (its standard to have ATTS units in all models in Australia. i nearly bought one but it wasnt really worth it. they sold cheap and you would be selling it at a loss due to how pathetic the resell price would be)
I bought an used Audi A3 1.6 2006 Model. It's EU-apporved until 2019 and been well maintained. When i drive and steer left it makes a "rumbling whiney" noise, which becomes louder when i increase the speed. Any ideas on what it could be? I'm thinking if it could be a cover on the disk brake?
I don't think i have a car scene near me but how do i find them? I know there's weeb Honda shit but I'm not huge on that. But i think I'll go to one to get to know people. So i just Google car meets near me or something like that? Plz help I'm trying to make friends that know how to wrench
>>17533145
I live near Fresno California if anyone is willing to help me find a car meet
Nor cal car meet?

although if youre looking for friends who know how to wrench, a car meet might not be your best option

How about a thread dedicated to Car Development and weird Mules the development of cars produces?
I'll start off with a crazy Smart ForTwo Mule, based on the Twingo
what's the cheapest set of snow tires I can get that won't blow up if I run over a pebble? I don't want any and don't really need any but mommy pays my insurance so I'm being forced to buy a set
I know I'm a faggot already no need to tell me
I gotta commend you for worrying about winter tires - in the middle of summer. That's thinking ahead.
>>17532970
are they not cheaper in the summer?
I heard April and October are the best months for tire sales.
April because people get ready for summer road trips and October for people wanting winter tires.
>Watch for winter tire sales in October br/o/
Hi everyone,
I currently own an 08 R8 with the 6 speed manual and it's a fun car but is starting to feel dated and has a lot of miles.
Should I trade it in for a new Quadrifoglio?
>>17532720
Are you mainly looking for a luxury GT or something? If not, 4C is p cool. If so yes.
>>17532728
I'm still in college so I want something that's cool but won't attract negative attention.
