I was originally thinking of getting a non-running RX8 to do an LSX swap, but I've fallen in love with the 4-rotor. I found a '04 RX8 that doesn't run for $1500 that appears to be in decent interior/exterior condition and a second donor RX8 engine for $100. Both engines don't run, but are they salvageable? Worse case

>inb4 just buy running donor engines/parts
Too expensive, and where's the fun in that?

Lmao if you are posting on 4chan asking dumb ass questions such as this, you really think you can do a 4 rotor build? And no, stacking housing and rotors together is not like Legos at all

How do you propose you build a 4 rotor?

How much power do you want?
Do you know what youre doing?

>>16514575
Rx8s are ugly and 4 rotors are expensive as shut
Chances are you'll blow a 2 rotor since you're this stupid, just stick to shitboxes with piston engines

Has anybody on this board had any experience with the Quickjack or similar products? I'm tired of using a floorjack and stands and cannot install a lift in my garage. Pic related.

Will I RIP if I use it? It seems like leaning on the car would cause it to fall over

Need to get a new car soon, considering the Outback/Forester. What's /o/ got to say about them? I recall that they have head gasket issues, but I don't know on which engines or what years. Any firsthand experience? Thanks b/o/o.

paid 6400 for it, about 116k miles, no problems so far other than a small oil leak coming from the oil filter than i already knew about

Would a 2004 WRX be a good first car to learn to wrench on or can I permanently fuck shit up easily?

So I am in the market for a new car and I've decided on a "sports" car. I have always been a chevy person (pretty much everyone in my family has one or a bmw), but I would like to try something new. Narrowed down my choices to a
>mustang GT
>camaro SS
>Challenger RT Scat
>370z

All are base models with v8 (v6 for 370z oc) with manuals. But now that the facelift mustang was revealed, I'm back on the fence.
Styling looks autistic unless it is in a dark color (pic related), and apparently there is a new 5.slow.

Should I jump into something new or just go with the camaro? Wait for the new stang?

I've tested all of them and the differences are clear, but they are all extremely fun to drive, which is why I want one.

I'd wait for the new rustang and go from there.
What is you budget anyways OP?
You could get some pretty good used cars in that class for the price range of a base v8

I'd wait for the new mustang to have some decent track time and reviews. If it's superior to the camaro, go for it. If not, than the get the Camaro. If looks are important and you will really only take the car in a straight line, go for the challenger. The Nissan isn't even a competitor to any of these cars.

Have you ever had a custom muffler and/or other exhaust components welded for you by a shop? If you have, what did you pay? And what do you think the price will be for my situation?

So I've just bought a new flowmaster catalytic converter and a dc sports muffler. I have a couple of plans for how I want the muffler piping to be and for a modification to the catalytic converter.

I do not want the shop to install the pieces as I'm capable of doing it myself (and so I can save money). I just want them to do the welding.

How much do you think it would cost for my plans to be completed? And if you're real good, how long will it take?

Good work car stories? Nah... None of those.

This one jackass I used to work with always cracked me up when he talked cars though. Guy tried to convince me his Chrysler Cirrus or plymouth breeze... Dont remember which... Had a "racing" transmission. I figured he just meant manual, so I asked " oh, so its a stick? "

>no its a racing transmission. Automatic but you can shift it manually.

>mfw he legit thought the 4sp auto was a racing tranny bc it was floor mounted.

>mfw he grenaded it a few weeks after this conversation because he drove it like he stole it and always shifted it manually.

RON PAUL /o/,

I have a couple options here in my head. Honestly not sure how much I SHOULD spend based on my income, as I am meeting with financial advisor in a week to figure that out. I have more cash sitting in an account than the cost of these cars 3x over again so repairs/maint is not a challenge.


>Keep my $10k rb25det 240sx.
>Buy an Evo 9/10 for $20-30k
>im out 30k


>Sell my $10k 240sx
>buy a <$5k beater. Could be anything. GC8, something somewhat fun.
>buy an r32 GTS-T/GT-R for $25k.
>Im out 30k


>Keep 240sx
>Buy opc insignia and upgrade fuel+turbo+stuff later for $15k
>im out 15k

Live in northeast in the US, hence the winter beater.

discuss.

I need advice from people that know about this stuff, long story short in a couple months I'll be getting quite a bit of money from my grandma to #1 buy a place to live and #2 to buy a car. After seeing the condo and adding everything, I'll still have a little over $60k to buy a car. My dream car is the Dodge Hellcat (challenger or charger). The insurance prices I've been getting is from $1k-$2k a month.. I really cannot afford to pay $12k-$24k a year JUST for car insurance.. This seems unbelievable to both of us so I was wondering if we did something wrong. I have no idea about this and she's even more clueless about this type of stuff. Another thing I was wondering is if it is that high can I possibly have my 27 year old cousin buy it under his name and his insurance? His are gonna be much much lower considering he's 9 years older then me. I 100% trust him with the car so is that possible? Or can I do something to get past the insurance price? I might be in denial and just trying to come up with solutions so that's why I'm asking you guys. My mom will not add me to her insurance because buying that car is "suicide" and she "will not help me kill myself" so I can't do that. Also please don't tell me the same thing. Thank you

Yeah but they're nice guitars, made with no compromise whatsoever.
That 300zx looks like it was slapped together in the nineties by a frat boy with no money.
