Hey /o/, I don't know very much about cars but I've been watching Initial D and I was wondering how much of the show is actually realistic. I know it's at least mostly grounded in reality, but I also know a lot of it is made up. I was wondering about this part though in particular: where Takumi shortcuts over the open gutter. Would this actually be possible, or is it too far out there?

Try it and find out desu.
ive done it and it actually works but it was to be a pretty narrow gutter so it doesnt fuck the underside of your car, wheel tyre and shit.
>>
>>16586451
Just name something off the top of your head that's made up. Sure, there's some bullshit and animeing the fuck out of things to make it watchable, but it's one of the more realistic anime out there in depicting its subject matter.
The gutter technique is adapted from rally, basically how they know which corners to cut or not. Pay more attention to what's said and not the gookware CGI renderings, that's where the "realism" and the research that went into the show (and Tsuchiiya's input) come in.
>>
>>16586451
I wouldn't try it, and it probably puts a fuckton of stress on the car, but I've seen rally drivers do it. I'll post a video if I can find one

This is one of the main reason why I dont get my bike license
Every new road in Victoria (austalia) they install these fucking deathtraps for bikers
My brother has been a policeman for only a few years and he has already seen several bikers shredded by these things
I want to ride but these things are a psychological barrier for me, what are your thoughts?

I would go with the non-Z06 or FRC Vette, it would be a daily so I want softer suspension and hatch space more. Don't want the extra 50hp from the LS6, because daily.
If I went Trans Am, I would avoid WS6 package because this would be a car I'm puting miles on. The extra hatch space, relative performance, great aesthetic, and affordability compared to the Vette makes this very tempting.
>>
I own a 4th gen Camaro Z28.
Buy the Vette. It actually has more trunk space, though you do lose out on being able to throw shit on the back seats.
Either way you won't be carrying more than one passenger in the car, so it doesn't matter.
People can't fit in the back of an F-body.
There's no reason not to get the best non-Z Vette you can find, either. It's still a sports car so it's not like you're doing yourself a favor by getting one with less power or softer suspension.
One last thing the C5 has over the F-body is build quality. GM didn't give a fuck with F-bodies, and it shows. Corvettes hold up pretty well and their owners took care of them.

I daily an 02 SS, waiting for it to shit the bed so I can rebuild it with a fat cam.
My other car / the car my wife drives is an 04 CTS-V.
Kinda feels dumb to get a third T56+LS1/6 car, but they've done me great so far. The "upgrade" to the Firebird would be purely aesthetic, and I'd probly have to let the SS go.

I just replaced my old fuel door since it was broken on my 2001 Mitsubishi Galant, however the new one didnt come witht he spring already on it, so i'm trying to get it on correctly
Pic related is how i currently have it put together, but when i go to close it in this config, it stays open by around an inch
How am I suppose to put this spring in so that the door will be closed flush to the car?

My friend bought one with engine knock for $800, drove it home 300+ miles, drove it another 2 weeks to work, and back, and then slapped in a junkyard motor he paid $200 for, fixed some things up, ended up trading it + $1,200 for an AWD Talon.
The convertible top is horrible shit. I wouldnt pay over $1,000 for it.
Manual? Auto?

How easy is it to wrench on a XC60/90? I love volvo, but I'm worried it'll be a pain in the ass to maintain compared to my camry, which is ridiculously simple
What volv/o/s are easy to wrench?
>>
Haven't had a volvo yet but new v90 (not OPs crosstrek) looks mighty tempting. So few choices here in the states
>>
>>16559256
Avoid pretty much any with a letter in the model except S90/V90 until '98, those are just rebadged 960s. 850 can be tricky and is wrong wheel drive, so 240/740/940 is choice; redblocks are cake. 960 has an inline 6 which is nice, but I don't have much experience with them.

Hey /o/ First time posting here.
Im looking to replace the back door on my 01 ranger due to the rust hold pictured. Now ive been looking around and i can only find stuff on how to take off the door pannel. I took a look and the bolts wont be an issue but theres a hose with wire (i presume) How would i take the door off of a ranger in the junkyard and throw it on mine? Easy thing to do or am i better off getting a patch kit?
