I'm wondering what kinda turbocharger I can put into a 2003 taurus ses. I wanna do it cheap but good, if rebuilding is required then thats fine if it saves money. I've been looking at ebay but I'm not sure what I should be looking for
would any old turbo work fine?
would that be all I need and need to do?
its more work than you can do unless there is an ebay kit or something

That's an alternator.

Tell me more about how you know more than teams of engineers and hundreds of years of automotive experience?
>>16912696
That team of engineers is trying to meat a price point and provide a certain amount of longevity and not really targeting performance when they design a shitbox

This. As long as a moron doesn't tell me they are making it MORE reliable with aftermarket parts (sans some known problem fix). Also OP, you act like no cars have ever had recalls from shitty parts.
Modding a car is about making it faster or lower, or personalizing it, or whatever.
How does it feel driving a bitch made car made for a butch?

i totally understand a car being considered as a stereotypically lesbian owned object.
What i don't understand is how a poor goldenretriever ends up as such.
thats just fucking sad, leave the dog out of this man.

You know you're a bitch when your competition is Nissan & Hyundai.
A friend of mine left it at my place and I have no idea what it is.

Your lady want you to drive but you're scared.
Why is it that euro cars don't have very much aftermarket support compared to JDM? Like body kits, suspension bits, interior parts, motor stuff. There's nothing compared to like Varis, Voltex, Spoon, Cusco, Garage Vary, etc. Even for the BMW M cars. Literally all the VW/Audi's all look the same. I understand they are all spec'd and designed really well straight from the manufacture too.
>>16912041
Nips really like to mod cars.
There's a reason most car mods are referred to as "rice" even when it's not of japanese make, and not driven by an asian.
>>16912041
It comes down to Japanese car culture. It’s generally more common to build and tune cars, and the amount of tuners and shops is what leads to having so many options. I wouldn’t exactly say BMW’s, VW’s, and Audi’s are spec’d well from the factory. At least not in terms of what aftermarket tuners do. Part of it has to do with the culture, amount of tuners, and the cost of some of these cars. People are a lot less likely to tear into an 70k M3.
wat
there are plenty of European tuner companies and parts manufacturers
only difference is Japanese cars are more popular

Would a stock one with 130.000 Kilometers be alright for a first car if my pockets are better filled? I got 12k Euro for a first car. I don't need one right now, I have 2 years time to search for something. My plan was either wait the time and look for Toyobarus or get a mint condition S13 for ~8.000 Euros and fix it up

The acceleration is shit, but it will do 140 just fine, 130 is max here, usually stick to 135~ish to be safe

This happened at 17:30 on a main route with pretty dense traffic
Seems like he has a death wish by driving on my left while i was still on the left lane
Not to mention that the highway runs past farmgrounds, so its all open and can be pretty windy at times
Why do bikers have act like suchs fags?
Why do they drive like suicidal asshats?
i like chugging along at a reasonable speed, but i dont go overboard with speedy driving since my car cant handle that

Sounds like you need to drive faster or get your shitboxes off the road, mate.
>>16910670
>Things that never happened
>>16910815
I live in a country full of babyboomers, im one of the faster people on the road so to say....
Also, they love radar control here, so i try not too speed too much, since fines are pretty high here
>>16910821
See above, a lot of people here are either 60+ or people in a rush
They dont combine, im also frustrated a lot of times when were on a single lane 100 road and the person in front of me is going 80
Nationwide, driving too slow is the 3rd biggest pissoff of driver, only beaten by not using indicators and not keeping distance
Its no uncommon to see bikers go flatout when they get the chance, but the rarely get that chance

You can always trade it in or sell it to pay off the bulk of the debt. Hopefully you didn't buy it brand new
>>16905357
buy cheap, barely running shitboxes instead.
For every payment you make you could get another one.
Oil change scheduled? Nah, buy another car instead.
Battery dead? Next car.
Rear-ended someone? Run, drop car in lake, buy another.

>>16904347
Don't need a 4wd, and I'm not towing, just want to know if they are reliable .
I recently acquired a 2001 Firebird with the 5.7. Do you guys think its a good idea do buy Louvers for it?

How would I signal legally with the roof up? Mirroring what it says in the Highway Code comes to mind, but I could see that being pretty confusing. It does say "CAUTION LEFT HAND DRIVE - NO SIGNALS" on the back, but I'm skeptical of its legality these days.
Wat do?

Don't signal. It's not like everyone does it anyway.

I just got new tires on my car and had an alignment done 3 months before, is it good idea to get another alignment with these good new tires?
>>16911313
>ever getting an alignment
I see you fell for the old jew trap of needing to get your car spin balanced and aligned lmfao
>>16911391
So you are implying that getting an alignment is a meme, very interesting
>>16911397
it's a partial meme.
riddle me this: if your camber, caster, and toe are all fucked beyond belief, but the car drives perfectly straight, then do you still need an alignment?
