Okay for people who don't have any idea what this car is, it's a sports sedan by Genesis which is going to be based on the recently revealed Kia Stinger which is already built on a tweaked-platform shared with the G80.
>When the G70 goes on sale, it's going to compete with Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Jaguar XE, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Infiniti Q50 and Lexus IS.
The Genesis G70 is expected to use the same 190kW/353Nm 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder and 272kW/510Nm 3.3-litre twin-turbo V6 engines as the recently-revealed Kia Stinger, with an eight-speed automatic gearbox sending power to the rear wheels.

When available on purchase, it'll be sold as RWD-Standard and AWD as optional. But for the Australian market, it's RWD only.
Hyundai/Genesis hasn't released any more details.

So what do you think about Genesis's attempt at taking on the world compact sport sedan leaders?

Nothing. It's the definition of shitty modern car design. Look at those tiny rear windows and pedestrian-safe front end.

What's the worst thing you've ever done in a car?
I tried passing a guy and miscalculated how close this biker was. Forced him off the road and another guy had to swerve. The guy I passed sped up to read my plates and call the cops. Luckily nothing came of it.
A fat chick gave me head and all the spit stained the seat. Very uncomfortable drive back

It's that time again, European citizens! Post your cars, talk about your trips, discuss potential meets, etc. Most of us around here are from the EU but just about everyone from the European geographical zone is invited, including Ruskis and Brexiters.
Keep in mind that this general is still relatively young (the first thread was earlier this week, iirc?) and therefore hasn't gained all that much traction yet, so please be patient since it might take a while for frequent posters to settle in.

This is probably the only one in the country, should I go for it? The description vaguely claims that "the documentation is in order but the mechanic isn't", which might imply anything from not having passed the latest inspection to not running at all.
Also, on a side note, why the fuck is it so hard to find info on this particular Skyline model, or about any 1980s Skylines in general? I would like to know exactly how rare these are and where in the family they fit in.

By selling consistently more cars only because their brands only live of the glory of 30 years ago.

The dealership I am financing my car from closed maybe 6 months ago. I havent made a payment since, nor has anyone tried to contact me.
Should I file for a lost or stolen title? If so what is the process for doing so?
>pic unrelated
>>16719188
Are you in a state where the financer hangs onto the title? Either way, till the debt is paid, the lien will be on it. The debt doesn't go away because they closed, they still own that truck in that sense. Contact them and pay it off quick.
>my fil, financed a tv from a retail store

Why/Why not?
>>16718536
I had one
2001 gts 6 speed
Mint
135k miles on it
paid 3800 bucks
Drove for a bit, enjoyed it even though its slow and handles like a boat. Had to replace the lift bolts that snap in half (look it up if you want). Sold for 5k
It was alright but the motors cant take boost or anything. Pretty much at the limit when you get it

The engine cranks, but it just won't start. The timing belt is in dire need of replacement, but it seems unlikely it snapped while off, and it also just sounds pretty normal when cranking.
The fuel gauge rises when I turn the car on, so there's fuel pressure.
Going back tomorrow to test for spark (could maybe just be the distributor rotor?), and I'll remove the valve cover to see if the timing belt is snapped. Is there anything else I can check without taking my car home?
while having someone turn the ignition tap on the starter with a mallet.
>>16721698
The car starter works though dude, the thing just doesn't start
>>16721695
yeah try distributor/coilpacks. Could also be fuel pump - but seems unlikely unless you went over a big bump etc.

It's pretty low DESU. I have it for a week and so far I've hit the ground with the front bumper twice. If it was any lower I wouldn't be able to get across that extremely high speed bumper in front of my house...
Am I supposed to detach the headunit all the time?
My bro always told me it drains the battery if I leave it in. I always thought people took them off because of theft but these things are pretty obsolete now.
If I forget to turn my radio off. does it still drain battery with the engine off? just like what it does when you leave your headlights on
>>16720945
>My bro always told me it drains the battery if I leave it in.
True, but at such a low level that it would take years to drain the battery from just the radio standby.
Battery will probably go dead by itself before then.
the power draw when it's off it's very minimal, just enough for the memory, and as long as the car doesn't sit too long without running, it won't drain a normal operating battery
Depends entirely on how your stereo was wired in.
If it was hardwired to the battery then yes, it will drain your battery.
If it is wired after the ignition relay, then no, it wont.
And as other guy said, you would have to have a pretty worthless battery for it to drain it.
