They must be properly bad to be worse than us in snow.

Come on now lad. They can't be that bad, can they?

Yeah it's pretty fucking awful right now, nobody knows how to drive properly in bad weather conditions here.

But honestly you're giving California drivers too much credit because they suck when it's dry out too.

California drivers are worse in sunny and dry weather than Atlanta drivers are in half an inch of snow

Nobody here can afford to spend 80k on a car, shilling this here is pointless.

I had a 2010 model, I apologizing for being an egotistical cunt with it. this car was actually junk, no surprise being built by Chrysler. I thought I was driving the best performance crossover ever, turns out the jokes on me.

*Disclaimer: You can buy a 944 for under a grand, but the overwhelming consensus in the community is that sorted cars cost ~$5k... so if you buy that car for under a grand when you're done it'll be around or over $5k. YMMV.

Want to get an early N/A watercooled 911/Boxster but are afraid of the infamous IMS issue? Well I'm gonna try to change your mind

>What is an IMS
The intermediate shaft has been present on Porsche flat 6 engines ever since the original air cooled 911 all the way up to the 9x7.1 generation 911s, Caymans, and Boxsters
It's used to indirectly drive the camshafts and is in charge of engine timing

>What goes wrong?
The IMS itself is perfectly fine, the problem was when Porsche switched to watercooled engines they needed a bearing on the flywheel side of the engine, and with their infinite wisdom they decided to use a sealed bearing with a lifetime grease
What happens over time to a small handful of these bearings is that the grease dries out and it fails, causing the IMS to throw the timing out of sync and grenade the entire engine in seconds
The bearing on the opposite side is lubricated by engine oil and has never been known to fail

>How often to these fail?
Engines from '97-'99 use a robust dual row bearing that has a failure rate of less than 1%, it's the engines made from '00-'04 that use a weak single row bearing that has a failure rate as high as 10%
But don't worry just yet, general consensus is that if the bearing in your car is faulty it would have failed before 40k miles
In addition the best way to keep it healthy is to actually drive your car like a Porsche should be driven; low mileage garage queens are more prone to failure

>How much would this cost me to repair?
If you have a higher mileage car I wouldn't worry too much, especially if your car has a dual row bearing
Fixes include:
>replacing the bearing with a new OEM part - $100
>IMS Guardian - $400
>replacing the bearing with an aftermarket ceramic bearing - $600
>removing the seal and adding a flange that directly feels engine oil to the bearing - $800
The last option is the only true way to fix the problem, but I personally don't feel any of this is necessary

Hope this helps

One of the few affordable MR engine cars.

>>16682911
Because they're mid-engine like the cars they're trying to replicate.

>>16682911
Rear engined sports car with a space frame. All the body panels detach with a few screws/bolts/clips. As does most of the interior. It's also a pretty cheap car. Just an easy base for kits to made for and to be installed on

Buy a canadian rx7

those are both stupid things so I am ok with this

I agree. I hit 155MPH most days on my journey home. I spend a lot of money on fuel though.

You should stick to your video games, little boy.

I feel like buying a junk C5 Corvette, rip out the LS1 in it, and put it in a 240sx coupe.

As an oldfag who has been driving jeeps for twenty years I definitely know what you are talking about.
I can't stand half the faggots that drive and buy these fucking things anymore.

I work at a BMW dealership. Most customers are middle aged white men and women. Most of them buy the 320i, X3, etc. They are very kind people. All of my co workers, save for reception, drive bimmers and they're all very kind people. Yes I know this is anecdotal, but so is the accusation that all BMW drivers are douchebags. Have you ever considered that people may be jealous of BMW owners, or using anecdotal evidence, or perhaps dislike BMW altogether and project their disdain towards BMW owners?
