Can some of you statiscucks explain to me this. If government regulation supposed to improve mileage, why can a this 4 speed piece of shit, glued together with fish glue, made so that Hitlers wife had something to drive to the grocery store in, can easily 30 mpg. Yet for modern, goverment regulated, """""""""economical""""""" shitboxes 30 mpg considered an astronomical achievement?!

22 mpg average actually.

Low American standards because the bar is set by 13 mpg SUVs. My car gets 40 mpg and it's considered outdated for European standards.

hello /o/, i need your help
i'm turbocharging an n/a car, meaning it's time for gauges. i already had a wideband installed (it's currently in n/a, but wanted to check whether the current carb was properly jetted and whatnot...)
today i learned that i have to have an oil pressure gauge in case an oil line goes awol. thing is, i don't want my dashboard or the cabin in general to look like starship enterprise, with a boost gauge, an oil pressure gauge and the wideband as well.
is it possible to have a more discreet system, that is, the wideband by itself, and a dual gauge consisting of both boost pressure (hopefully with vacuum) and oil pressure, at the same time? searched for two hours, and all i've found were expensive $300+ systems.
picture unrelated.

So the /o sticky has this car up as an honorable mention. Looks like I can get one under 5k with around 120k miles on it. I'm looking to get a limited, with quadra drive (for snow).
Besides the usual things, anything specifically I should look for when inspecting these jeeps?

I bought a 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth last weekend with 64k miles with some nice options for $9999.
I wanted to give a first week impression of the vehicle, so here it is:
It has a "sporty ride", which means uncomfortable over larger bumps, but fine on smoother roads.
Layout of some of the interior buttons is kinda weird at first, but you get use to them.
Exterior looks great to me (subjective), and the exhaust sounds pretty cool (a bit loud tho) at startup and when you give it some gas (that intake noise is nice too)
I can fit perfectly in the driver seat, but being 6'2", that means not many people can fit behind me. However, the rear seat isn't a terrible place to be if you're on the smaller side.
Cargo room is surprisingly good for a car that looks so small after you lower the rear seats, but not terrible with the rear seats up.
No spare tire, or under-floor rear storage cubby. I'm kind of annoyed by this, but I guess I'll live (USAA provides me with towing)
Mpg's are great, even if I have to fill up with premium (haven't done it yet).
The rear end can get a little "floaty", which is a bit discerning at first. But once you see the ride height of the rear, and realize what a rear sway bar can do, you kind of understand. (Springs and bar coming soon)
There's a known issue with a line from the intercooler charge pipe to the evap system, but fixed with something called the "Boost Leak Fix" mod. After the mod, there's a very mild increase in power, but overall better throttle response. Recommend doing that first thing if you buy one.
Braking is fantastic (car weighs under 2600lbs, so that makes sense). I'm looking for some ss brake lines to see if I can improve on its strengths.
After owning it for a week, I get why people like them. I was always a little interested in them when they first came out, but sort of forgot about it until now.
Needed a small and somewhat fun car with good mpg to daily and take my monthly road trip. This seems to be a perfect match.

Overall: I'd give it a 7.5/10.
Quirky car with some good and bad points out of the box that can be fixed. Not the most powerful thing on the road, but it's a fiesty little car and small mods make good power increases while adding efficiency. Great gas mileage. Fun handling. Surprisingly not the worst engine bay I ever had to work in even if it does look cramped.
Would recommend this car to the city dweller who wants to find parking where it wasn't before, or the first time car enthusiast who can learn that power isn't everything. If you want a fun little ride that'll get some interested looks on the road, and even further interest at the gas pump, it'd be a great car to commute in that'll break up the mundane drive to work.
I wouldn't recommend this as a sole mode of transportation to the family man because his wife and kids would probably get annoyed on trips to the grocery store. Then again, they may enjoy it as a weekend canyon carver.

Hello /o/, I drive a 1990 Miata and when I went to turn the key to shut it off, I accidentally turned it in the wrong direction (on) and it actually tried to start the car while it was already running. I noticed a really bad smell afterwards. Is this bad practice or did I fuck something up?

>>16745155
If you don't want to increase track with spacers because you think they stress the suspensions too much, then I'm afraid you will have to keep the car like it is unless you buy longer suspension arms.
Wheels with less offset will achieve the exact same result as spacers, with the same exact drawbacks, which is still negligible IMO.
The "damage" of spacers is highly overrated.
Is there another reason why you don't want to use spacers?
