Is this an appropriate topic for this board?
I need to install a stereo system into an old (i.e. outdated) car I bought. I'll be reusing my classic MB Quart speakers, A/D/S sub, and PPI PowerClass amps from back when those brands were great.
But what's the deal with modern head units?
Modern car stereos are retarded from the factory. Who wants to pay $500 extra for an already outdated, slow GPS paired to a slow, low-res touchscreen?
Here's my ideal: a basic AM/FM/aux car stereo with a hardware volume control that also has a touchscreen. The touchscreen would be primarily intended as 1) a backup camera display and 2) a fully interactive screen for my Nexus phone.
I'd be okay with losing the AM/FM functionality, but it's a nice, bare minimum, oh-I forgot-my-phone source.
I *don't* want one of those Chinese Android head units. The goal is to minimize the amount of quickly obsoleted tech installed into the car. This is a double-DIN, by the way.
Any thoughts?

I feel like anything that isn't a DVD screen in a double din just looks like ricer shit. If it doesn't it generally costs a hilariously large amount
I have an Alpine CDE-W296BT. I think it looks decent for what it is. And since the button lights are RGB, I could adjust them to look like the other interior buttons, so it looks way less ricey.
Personally, I don't really care for a touch screen. I don't have a backup camera and I don't really look at the screen. All I want is Bluetooth calls, audio and USB playback.

QTDDTOT - I have a question about the downpipe to manifold gasket on my DC2 Integra. Same flange as pic related. When I took it off there was no gasket. Are those rings the gaskets? Do I need to replace those or am I good to go? I'm not really sure how to find this information online.
why cant gm compete
>>16797985
nvm I figured it out, those rings are gaskets that pop out
>>16797985
You don't need to replace them. Never replaced and never had any issues on my DC4, didn't replace them on my NA1 either and never had a problem.

>Mazda says it feels ‘no pressure’ from customers to make electric vehicles, burying its head back in the sand
Really, NOT going towards electric wholesale? How transmysoginistic of them.

Yet Mazda continues to popularize with consumers

/pol/ is trying to tell me that the cia can remote control your car with a virus. Can anyone confirm this retarded nonsense?
>>16797267
Never heard of OnStar?
#Vault7, moron.
It's true, but it only really applies to the new cars where everything is automated.

This is what will happen to you if you don't stop bullying drivers who follow the speed limit on the road. The beta uprising has begun.
>let tailgater pass
>start tailgating them
I hope the driver that stopped had their spinal column snapped. I hope the $8000 insurance money was worth it faggot. Probably a smelly somali
>>16797630
Tailgater btfo.

>>16796970

What's the most reliable american cargo van?
I kinda want to own one just because.
No Fiat Doblo because I don't trust them.
>>16796711
Are you in the US? Why the fuck would you want to own one of these?
>>16796725
I think they look comfy and inconspicuous.
And no, I'm not a pedo.
>>16796711
Ford Econoline. Not because it's the most reliable but because fucking everyone and their dog h as parts for it.
How many units they would have sold if instead of the 1.3 Genesis rotary engine they had used a 2.0 or even a 3.0?
Also,is it that bad?
The Renesis is the best na rotary made
Capable of 260hp with exhaust, injectors and tune. Stock intake manifold
Lasts 200k+ miles with literally nothing but oil and spark plug changes
Compared to the 13brew which in the series 6 rx7 made 255hp and caught on fire
>>16796687
You mean a 20B? Or like a 155 BHP 2.0L 4 banger?
>>16796687
Whole purpose of renesis was to have ultra lightweight engine for mah weight distribution.
Why did you need anything more than a car which can get you from a to b?
>>16796118

>>16796118
>Why did you need anything more than rags to cover yourself up with?
because I enjoy the garbage people throw in the back of the truck, it's how I got a free wrench and 2 gardening claws and a shovel.
Hey /o/
You have a three car garage
But the three cars you have need to Represent the three different drive trains.
[FWD] Honda Civic EK9 Type R [Yellow]
This would be my daily driver
[AWD] Subaru WRX STI Type R [Blue]
This would be my winter soldier
[RWD] Toyota MR2 SW20 [White]
This would be my weekend warrior
All three of these would be imported from Japan
