Are turbos really that good, /o/?
>>16601564
Only if you like paying way more for oil and gas

Plus
>eco
>boost
pick one and only one
>>16601564
Depends on the application and what setup/kind of turbo you have.
>>16601570
>drive ecoboost mustang
>go crazy in the city, get only ok mileage, but fun to drive and usable power
>go on roadtrip
>34mpg
you can pick one and only one but if you get the veeate you can only pick "POWER". and that's okay.

Buy the shit out of it. I want one so bad.
>I bought a year ago and never learned manual stored in my garage the whole time
How in the fuck. Manual isn't even that hard.

Why must I be broke. ;_;
>>16601297
I feel like it's almost too good to be true. Like is the collector value of these cars just a 4chan meme because 4000 Canadian rubles for a supposedly mint MR2 seems like an absolute steal.
>>16601307
The price doesn't sound bad but I'm not expert. They don't seem to be taxed as hard as AE86s are.
Hard mode; justify why, and no busposting.
Easy one;

muh Corolla aside, it was supposed to be a sports model.
>Toyota had no shortage of RWD platforms at the time
>could've also continued to use the previous platform in the same way Nii-san continued using the S13 for the 180SX along with the S14 and 15 for Silvias

I own one of these and the handling is nice and snappy and responsive enough to be on terms with it's supra cousins of previous Generations.
>Muh gt4/all trac
I know it came in awd, but with the expense of having a second generation faux-rally shitbox, you might as well have bought the supra back in 93.
Toyota did well with rwd platforms and 2+ liter longitudinal I4s. If RWD came back too the celica in this generation, it could have been another 240sx imo.
>he drives a car with an airbag
How does it feel to be driving around with a ticking timebomb in front of your face at all times?
>>16601086
>tfw still haven't brought my accord in for the airbag recall
Livin life a quarter mile at a time
>>16601086
my SRS light is on
Fucking airbags, they do more harm than good.
Concept cars you wish went into production thread. Pic related -- Ford blew their final chance at reviving the RWD land yacht.
>>16601041
If they produced that there is a 100% chance it would be a nigger mobile 5 years down the line
>tfw this could have been the 3rd gen Panther
>tfw this could have been used as the next generation cop cruiser
>v10 Ford rwd ex-cop cruisers will never be available for $1500

On a related note, does anyone have any theories on why this became the de facto "Black Dude What Lives in Atlanta, Georgia Official Car"?
>when the water pump is powered by the timing chain.
Lol what does that even mean? Lol car nerd

Why is that a bad thing? What engine are you talking about, anyway?
How do you go from this...

To this?
honda shadow
good starter bike ?
You're going to get raped into /dbt/, but yes they're good starters. Especially the 750's
>>16600830
>shadow
Heh nothing personnel, kid
>>16600830
Yeah. Avoid the 600. Its only a 4spd.
>buy 2007 subaru outback with 137,000 miles
>literally ten miles from the place the check engine light turns on
>when i gun it it lurches at 40mph like it is trying to change gears or something
>it eventually shifts or does something to stop lurching and accelerates
>pull over and call the people i bought it from, they have it towed back to their shop
what am i in for>?
they said the previous owners had overheated it and that they redid all the seals and piston heads and put a new timing belt on it
Lol I hope u got it cheap because if it's not a small problem ur screwed.
Don't pay for any additional work if they didn't sell it in working condition make them fix it.
Did you not test drive the car before buying it?
>>16600846
yeah but it didn't do any of that when i drove it.

buy a $20 muffler tip
Why dont Lincoln/Cadillac make a full size S class competitor?
>>16600645
because if im speding s class AMG money i will be getting an S class and not a cadillac.
>>16600686
You sure
>>16600686
Yeah that sounds about right. Cadillac is doing better but they still need some progress in their interiors in order to actually compete with a 100k+ S class. Lincoln has a long journey ahead of them to get even close

AWESOME! Another car you can fantasize about while driving your diesel Punto
Which is harder to work on, gas or diesel? id say gas
Depends
Testarossa vs an old John Deere
Mercedes GL Bluetec vs a 1966 El Camino
>>16600564
If we're talking about pickup trucks then I'd say that the modern turbo diesels are both more difficult and more expensive to work on compared to their n/a gas counterparts.
>>16600564
modern diesels in most cases are more difficult to work .
>tighter space from larger engine, less hand/tool space
>complex emissions reduction systems
>turbo in almost all
>far tighter tolerances when rebuilding bottom end
Why haven't you purchased a Corvetteā¢ yet /o/?
>3x more warranty than any other supercar

>Delicious FI variably timed V8 power
>Honda-Civic-tier 37 MPG
