>>Is it gone forever?
Probably
>>type of person you sold it to
Korean dude, only a little older than me at the time. As he was checking it out he already explained he wanted to RB swap it and I started to die inside.
>>how much did you sell it for
Experience was so traumatic, I can't even remember. I wanna say $3200 but might have been 2800. I probably had 8k total invested

do you have any pics of the car, im sorry for your loss

Different parts are neat for different things.

Japan seems pretty neat. No one gives a fuck about what you're into or how you modify your car as long as you're passionate about it. Those nips generally don't seem to be that judgemental.

Basically the polar opposite of /o/.

southern California

its been the center for car culture since car culture was a thing

birthplace of import scene
birthplace of hotrodders
birthplace of lowriders

tons of styles

tons of shops

tons of good roads

Here's a pic from the back

Sorry for poor camera handling

taking it to the scrapyard

>>17461385
why would i do that to a perfectly fine 3k civic, when i can put a few simple mods on it and have supercar levels of performance ?

JDM K20 + turbo

Just 10k and an afternoon and you'll have a race car.

Dude it has a clean title. Just take that piece of paper to the DMV and have them check it out if you really think it's stolen.

>>17461318
In the UK you can check plates pretty easily through a gov website, can you do that where you are? On the outside it doesn't look bad, same with inside, I doubt it's been cut and shut or anything like that.

>>17461318
No. it's a shit car. just get a civic for that price.

>>17459749

That's the Porsche way of doing things

>base model is semi-reasonably priced but has less features than base model Mitsubishi Mirage
>charge 10k for a package that gives as many features as a base Honda Civic
>charge 1k for every little badge, color, and piece of chrome
>leave a dozen performance-oriented options on the table (including weight reduction which actually removes stuff) for 5k each

You can't really pay base price for a Porsche

>>17459749
It will not be faster than the 918 spyder. The best times from the prototype are around 07:05min. At this times 10 seconds are so fucking much.

GOLDEN AGE
GOLDEN CENTURY!

I got a soft spot for Steel Blade

DOCTOR!
DOCTOR!
LOVE!

>>17436491
In the same situation. Anyone have a good checklist to tell you if you're g2g on the trail?

You're all a bunch of limp-dick boomer wannabes who can't get a girl under 300#

>fat girls can't jump! hehe
Like any of you faggots with small penises could ever even muster the courage to make EYE CONTACT with a girl. Polluting fucking assholes.

Do the world and the environment, and my sanity a favor and send your stupid toys to the crusher.

>women will divorce you over simple things instead of loving you unconditionally
wow, heterosexuals are terrible

>>17461975

My guess is white, only a white woman would be spoiled enough to think her pussy is worth more than a car.

When that happened to me, it was a stuck EGR valve.

>>17461079
did you car idle low. Ive been reading that a stuck egr valve causes rough idle.

>>17461002
Google those codes, anon. That'll at least tell you what the ECU is bitching about. May not solve the problem, but at least it'll make the ECU go back to its corner and sulk.

As far as diagnosing it, plug in a scan tool and start looking at the data. Fuel trims, etc.

no problem

It's not that bad, you just have to know your cars limits.

I owned a crown vic back when it use to snow a lot, I couldn't even get out of my driveway, got a Subaru legacy and never had a problem after that.

But it barely snows anymore so I'm going to buy an old lexus and give my legacy to my gf since she really wants it

Delicious flat chest.

The Cycle Ergo URL in the OP is broken, it's a .com website. Maybe change it in the next thread.

>>17461300
Some parts of the snowy world, they're required. Other parts of the non-snowy world, studded snow tires are banned. Ask around and see what the laws are.

>>17461300

if you are total commuter (car is just a tool to get you from A to B) in a place without icy/snowy condiditons - go with allseasons, or whatever your car came with and don't care at all.

if you are unlucky to live in area where you have this thing called "winter" or "snow" - just buy a set of winter tires because law most likely says you have to have them anyway.

if you are serious about cars, you have a nice set of tires for summer and one even nicer for winter - because in daily commute your normal summer tires will be just as good as any other, but on snow you are much more likely to be able to tell a difference between good winter tire and a cheapo one.

If you are real car nut, you probably have separate sets of complete wheels, one for track/togue fantasies with semislicks, one with performance summer tires for your daily in the summer, one set of high performance winter tires for winter.

If you are guy with japanese/german RWD driftmachine, you have friends from whom you "borrowed" banged wheels that you will surely return to them, you are good friends with tireshop guys and run whatever you can fit on your car - the more number of tires/wheels you have, the better - and you don't care what thread or specification they are, you will lay that rubber down anyway.

Winter tires are god tier. Saved my ass from idiots sliding through red lights several times.

Americans hate diesels for some reason

>>17460838
diesel a pricey and a slow start stigma

>>17460844
Diesel is cheap as shit in Canada, usually cheaper than regular grade gas, yet our market gets fucked over because companies treat Canada like the 51st state

Mercedes selling most of its ML and GL SUVs as diesel should be a big fucking hint to other manufacturers
