>How do you get your cage out if you want coffee?

So, let me understand, do you Americans use the car when you want to buy a so-called coffee?

._.

>>16747733
for one thing, this job is clearly not feasible for you to do, and for another, a saab 95 is still going to be a shitbox with a manual

>>16747733
seems like a whole lot of work for absolutely nothing you shouldnt swap unless your auto trans shit the bed. but even then I'd just buy a new car with a manual

>>16747733
On top of this, if you swap it to manual without telling your insurance company, good luck trying to get any money out of them when you claim.

On my car the method to shift fast is the same as shifting smoothly. I need to shift the gear while depressing the clutch (the bite point is really high up, so the transmission disconnects from the engine real fast), when the clutch is on the floor the stick is on the next gear. Releasing the clutch and going on the throttle happens at the same speed that I got on the clutch/off the throttle.

>>16747708
Dunno about camaros but my wrx has rev hang in first and second which makes shifting into second smoothly a real chore.

Unless you're finding the revs dropping too fast I'd stay off the throttle until you're fully in gear for everything but crawling around a parking lot and getting going from a stop.

>>16747708
I'm so bad at teaching people to drive manual. Dad gave me the quick parking lot lesson, but most learning was done by myself through pure trial and error.

It's a trash bin for organic waste.

Toyota Avalon

etc

The B5 Passat is a complete maintenance whore, thanks to sharing most of its mechanical bits with the B5 Audi A4 and C5 Audi A6.
The B6 is a bit less wallet-rapey since it uses mostly Golf parts instead.

Honestly, just get a Lexus.

It'll run like shit forever. The fuel level sending units like to fail.

>>16746556
i'd image you'd replace them then

>>16746680
But you have to drop the tank instead of accessing it from the inside and if you don't want to do it yourself it's like 600 bucks. At least that's what the mechanic told my friend.

>>16746469
You have a bad o2 sensor

Did the Ring breaking cause that? Or are those seperate incidents?

>How modern is the design and tech on those Factory 5 kit cars?
Very. They use a program called Solid Works to design the chassis in CAD. The Chassis' are then all welded together on a specially made jig assuring they're all the same.
Are they basically modern racing chassis with a old timey body on top?
Yes and no. They're racing style tube frame chassis' with specific suspension parts from each donor car. Like Their Hot Rod, COupe, and Roadster kits which are based on the Fox/SN95 Mustangs. The kits use the entire live rear axle from the donor cars if you don't opt for the (recent expensive addition) option of the 2015 Mustang IRS..
The 818 kit actually uses the most parts from its donor car, the GD Subaru Impreza. It also uses the steering rack, lower control arms, brakes, hubs, steering wheel, seats, etc among other parts.

sweet all this for the same price as the lambo. If I shill enough motortrend on demand stuff I'll have the money to buy one in no time.

Production cars just suck. Engineers are cancer.
