They should work once they're synced to the car. That's typically what we used in my high school autoshop.

People waste their money on these things?

>>16787081
Are you talking about adding it to a car that doesnt have it already? Fuck that bullshit

give it a touch more of gas and pull the clutch faster, as for 1-2, im not sure, it should be already pretty smooth, if it's not you're probably taking too long to shit and your revs are probably a little low, so tap the gas a bit

>>16786934
How long are you on the clutch from the point at which it starts to bite to when you lift your foot off the pedal?

If you want smooth it has to slip a little.

Threadly reminder that a 996 is not impressive

>>16786202
You realize that was a turbo right?

>>16786214
OH MY MISTAKE. THAT MAKES IT SO MUCH MORE IMPRESSIVE.

seriously kys anon.

I used to park UPS trucks, there were a few different sizes as well as the 24' box trucks
>tfw trying to start a 20-30 year old diesel step van on a 14ish F night

>>16786056
are those things manual?

>>16786076
Some are. Transmission as well as fuel type vary from truck to truck even within certain sized. None of it is standardised. You could get a small gas v8 manual truck and have a great job and the next week be reassigned to a huge propane automatic garbage truck.

What generation Celica were you looking at?

Hello ladies. I'd like you to meet my little friend here... GOLIATH

We had to order special elastic pants for him off the internet

What year and trims are you looking into? What specifically is important to you other than "fun" which is highly subjective

Would take a ton of work to be competitive.
Would likely never beat a miata.
Cool cars though.
>inb4 people suggesting clapped out BMWs

>>16785475

That's a gen 2 though.

Miata, NA or NB

E36 325is

It's like sitting on a 5 gallon pickle bucket.

I want one too desu. White, black stripes and bronze wheels. If a good new hot hatch comes down to this and a Fiesta, I'd prefer the one that looks like it has style.

Where's A Freakin' Audi? He got one recently.

the used one are going to be soon in /o/ territory

>>16784888
is that the one that has an air suspension fuse that blows often?

>>16784901
>Is that the car that is pleasurable to drive, extremely affordable and reliable to an absolute fucking fault?
ftfy you jelly weeb

I think I'll slap a big ol' Trump sticker on the bumper, just to piss lil fruitpuffs like you off.

The intake manifold is made of fucking plastic, which isn't really a big deal ordinarily, except coolant flows through this one, so eventually it will fail and your car will overheat on the side of the road. Watch for slow coolant leaks and replace it before you have a bad day. It's around $200 for the part.

The coil-on-plugs are also a common failure point.

You'll eventually have to replace your lower ball joints when they squeak like hell. They're pretty cheap but it's a bitch and a half to do the job yourself.

My grandparents had a Defender and I fell in love with it.

Why? We have roundabouts here. At least in louisiana.

rightfully so I reckon,

that place is a free for all, especially when you throw a few ameritards in the mix

Pick one.

>>16780006
It's an old car. If you don't know what that means then you probably should not consider buying one.
Interior space is pretty tight. For some time they were equiped with 3 speed AT which sucks devil's balls.
You will be able to get through snow easily but for serious offroad you'll have to spend great deal of money.
Also they are pretty bad on pavement and if you'll spin out of control you probably crash badly, the safety is obviously pretty lousy.

>>16780031
Hmm interesting...
So no a great commuter or every day car.

They've stood the test of time here. Which is saying a lot in this salty and rusty hellhole. there's still a lot of them left on the roads.
