New twingo = smart

You can get a cheap mk1 now.

I still drive mine from when I was student, and I earn tons of money as IT consultant.

Even the late ones with high specs and low mileage are dirt cheap.

+ you'll get instant /o/ streetcred.

>>16558786
buy a shitbox that'll last a year, look for sub £500/$800
even if it only lasts a year, you'll gain valubale experience using only a throwaway item

9/10 times it's not worth it

depending on the vehicle, you might beable to convert between the two.

pic related. 2 pipe system, currently in cold-air-intake mode. If that pipe is taken off it'd be a short-ram intake doohickey.

If it would actually work: long Cai for muh torques

1 = Tokyo drift >>> 2 >>> shit >>> the rest

>>16558079
correct

>>16558079
Any other list is wrong

I should also add I've had a similar problem around 3 thousand miles ago, but can't for the life of me remember if it was the same cylinder.

Cleaning the injectors solved it, but back then it only went away for a very brief moment while driving and then kept misfiring until fixed.

I've also had a few misfiring problems in the past months when turning on the car, but those went away after a few revs/a very short warm up time

>>16557716
I would say it's an injector.

Get a multimeter and test each injector's resistance (Black to one pin, red to the other, to complete the circuit), either look for an odd one out reading or find out what the specs are supposed to be.

Or you could listen to each injector, see which ones not firing, bit hard with it being intermittent.

I wouldn't rely on switching the parts around and hoping the trouble code moves with the part, often the code won't move until it's been driven for a while.

How old are you Leads, coil pack and plugs?

Check your HT leads, make sure there is no signs of arcing or damage in general.

>>16558735
I'm seeing no trouble code at all, weirdly enough. I switched things around because if the problem was the part the misfiring should move with it.

Everything else is original (meaning over 20 years old), but since money is short I'd rather replace them gradually instead of doing it all at once to try and solve this.

I tried inspecting the leads, but honestly I'm not big on wiring. As long as a cable doesn't have visible marks of violent bending or squashing it looks fine to me

its probably stolen

I forgot to mention probably one of the most important details:
>Salvage Title

>>16557306
Would there be a way to check if it was stolen or was in an accident if I could check the VIN or something? I was originally thinking that it's so cheap because nobody drives manual around here.

>>16557347
its on old Im assuming base model CRX with a salvage titled and a cracked windshield

its not worth that much

use a vin check thread that you can find on /o/

The big "fear" for us should be the fact that the general populace dont want to drive - for them its a necessary evil

It'd be great for all of those people to get their own self-driving cars, removing nearly all of the accidents, no more/minimal traffic jams and so on, but I kinda do fear the "ban manual driving cars for safety" thing actually happening

Still, it'll be quite a while. They're in the very babysteps of making it work under near-perfect conditions and under heavy surveillance, and I'll enjoy watching how they tackle the issues of snow & ice, GPS interference, towing and the likes

I think my driving is secure for quite a few more years

>>16554826
Fuckin' normies and snow, for real. HOLY SHIT IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME AS EVERY OTHER YEAR BETTER FORGET THAT I HAVE LESS TRACTION AND BRAKE JUST LIKE IT'S SUMMER

>>16554826

Pretty much this.

The bulk of people these days don't drive to enjoy the experience of driving any more.

Personally, I blame cars being made to focus on performance and MPG effectiveness and the concept of comfy rides being a thing of the past for the most part.

I know I didn't start to love to drive until after I got a panther platform with a super comfy interior. Now, road trips just to take them is something I actually look forward to and have visited all the surrounding states using the back highways whenever I can for steady cruising.

Be advised, if you use those back highways instead of the interstate, be prepared to experience equal parts of 'man, nature is pretty' and 'Holy shit, my country really is dying.' on your trip. Anyone who thinks the USA is doing great needs to just take some highway trips and see all the dead infrastructure, shuttered towns, and warehouses and shit falling into ruin all over the place.

What's your car?

>>16554501
A clean ass Olds 88

I'd just tell him you don't think your car is the best vehicle to do the test in

>muh numbers
But how is it to drive?

>faster than a 675LT with less power and more weight on worse tires
Ford is GOAT.

>>16553636
>in an uncontrolled test conducted by Ford
>on a track in bumfuck nowhere with no control times

Tell him to git gud. My dad bought me a standard as my first car instead of an automatic and I am forever in debt. He's lucky, because once he learns to drive that he can drive anything. Instead of being one of those pussy faggots that can only drive an auto.

In the fleet truck world GM's tend to last the longest and take the most abuse. Ford is second but they usually get replaced every few years before they start to fall apart.

inb4 shilling in the name of.

They meant the bed falls apart on aluminum Fords and the Ford fuel pumps shit out leaving you stranded for no reason, while the Dodge nukes it's transmission if you look at it wrong, but everyone buys the Fords anyways because better interior for mall crawling and the dodges look angrier so people buy those anyway

>>16551811
Found GM's marketing team.

fun to drive shit to maintain, why would it be hard to understand?

Oil changes every 3k are ezpz
I daily drove for three years, only hassle was the cabin heat in summer traffic and shit tier mpg but whatever it's a fun car not a civic
No reliability issues in that time until I decided to limiter bash first gear and bang

I own one, '94 R1 package.

Don't regret it, just make certain to go in knowing what you're getting yourself into. Oil changes every 3k miles really aren't that bad, pre-mixing not 100% necessary but recommended as it'll keep everything in better shape.

Apex seals aren't as much of an issue, just put in one of the newer ones (not OEM) that are designed to just bend a little when they go bad instead of shattering all over the fuckin' place. These have been around for the last decade or so, not precisely hard to find, just gotta' put the order in online.

It's a nightmare compared to most other cars, sure, but nothing that isn't manageable and really not that bad once you've established those good habits. Once you get used to it you don't feel like you're doing that much unless you're DDing the fucker. For most rotary owners, those 3k miles come up as often as oil changes in conventional ICEs (or less), because most people don't daily drive them.

The other anon is right. The FD, especially, is bad about cabin heat. Drive with windows down during the summer. Turns out the engine designed by a nazi does a good job of roasting the vehicle's occupants. Who knew?

>>16551207
are you seriously using tape to hold that shit in there? I dont think i wana let you barrow my car Vladamir.

Word of advice. Go to a driving school and get the package where they bring you to the drivers test.

>>16551226
Yeah, and I moved 1/4 of my friend's shitbox for about 10-15 miles using the tape.
>>16551227
I think it is not free, and I am rather roop.

>>16550140
Frosty did

An anon once posted an F430 with bread on hood. Fastest of semi-regular posters was I think Bromaro although he was famous for awful ETs despite ridiculous up and drag slicks.

>>16550164
F430 guy doesn't even come here, came one time to have a bunch of poorfags jerk him off

because doritos

also because it's still fun as hell to drive, supposedly

>>16541926
Because revs and they're basically 2+2 hardtop NC miatas.

Because a man can lift it up by himself

honestly i wouldnt even worry about the milage

the parts are plentiful and cheap and its a wonderful platform to build on

just make sure its a manual and doesnt have rust (think is it so rusty all the bolts will break)

>yellow
>they were built for hertz rent-a-car

it's an ex rental
don't

>>16559698
>Corvette

Hahahaha No.
