I want to be a weeb, but the modern Japanese auto industry is just too shitty.

How do you properly drive a manual in traffic?
Constantly shift in and out of neutral?
Or holding it in first and feather the clutch/brake?

If the traffic is literally crawling at sub 5mph then first is fine.
>>
>>17441251
First goes up to like 20 or 30 on most cars
>>17441230
Try to constantly keep creeping, even if it means leaving space and not going as fast as possible. You'll improve traffic flow behind you and save your leg.

1965 Ford F100 with a modern Subaru boxer engine is my dream ride. Am I crazy /o/?
>>
Depends on the car, really. A classic muscle car with a modernized powertrain would be pretty cool, as would something like a classic 911 with something like a modern GT2 engine for maximum widowmaker-factor.
But I'd also love to have a modern Audi S4 or S5 with all the modern creature comforts that come with it, and the classic Group B inline 5 turbo under the hood.

Can I get a mildly aged car with a slightly old engine instead?

What about Water Wetter, /o/? Are the other benefits, besides cooler temperatures, true? Is it retarded to use it if you don't live in the desert or on the race track? Does the thermostat in your car completely defeat the purpose of this stuff in every day traffic or even slightly hard driving?
Does it taste good?

It's for use when you are only running WATER in your system due to track regs. Coolant is slippery as fuck... this shit makes water cool better.
I doubt there is much, if any benefit, to just tossing it into a street car for any reason.
>>
>>17439598
So I did waste $6 tossing this in my shitbox because thought it would help my coolant run... wait for it.... coooler.
>>
>>17439598
Street cars could run 100% distilled water in summer. Could be useful in traffic jams on a hot day. But I wonder if the other benefits, (forget most of them, something about corrosion protection) are true at all.

Any $2000 four wheel drive pickup off craigslist with a camper top is more practical than a family wagon with AWD.

Why does most tuning tend to always be the same: lower suspension, spoilers, and darkened side windows. Why are actually interesting modifications so rare?
When I started my car project, the vehicle Finnish vehicle inspection agency had never even heard of anyone planning the kinds of things I did. And that's worrying. What's wrong with the mankind's imagination if in a city of 50 000 people, in more than a decade no one has even discussed the topic of customizing their cars?!
Japan has the right spirit, although their sense of style is a bit off. Anyway, let's discuss the problem, and post some properly interesting customs too.

Tuning is adjusting the ECU to go faster.
Lower suspension and spoilers are either put on to increase performance or imitate the former.

where do you live? anyways just remember the most important things you learned driving school and try to be as calm as possible in the first five minutes. you will relax anyway as the ride goes on.

Go ahead, post a car that is older than this which could be mistaken for a new car. I'll wait.
