Other than rusty frames, what other things should I check? hows the automatic transmission on them? what does the Tacoma do better or worse than them?
>>16494648
Rusty frames, underpowered, and overpriced.
>what does the Tacoma do better or worse than them?
Rustier frame, even more underpowered, even more overpriced, and reduced towing capacity.
>>16494648
Toyota trucks aren't worth it, OP. As stated above, they're overpriced for what you get because muh Toyota reliability. Get a Nissan Titan if you want a niptruck.

would you buy a neo beetle if it went back to its 911iezd roots and remained affordable?
>>16494611
I would gladly buy a RR econo car with a stick, someone please make it.
I would love it if the Smart Car gained enough wheelbase for a shitty back seat, a 1.6NA gas engine and a stick shift. I might buy that.
No. The new bugs due to the twee styling are now permanently chick cars, no matter what engine you put in it.

Renault Twingo
Would you a Viper?
No, They seem so, Meh. Every time I see one it's like "oh, A viper" yet somehow Corvettes seem more exciting even though there's millions of them. A Vette is easier to tune and get power out of.

Shut up cuck

Snek all the way

No.
When it comes to buying a used (Japanese) car, how much does 100K+ odometer matter?
the mileage isnt as important as how its been treated
Ive had shitboxes run just fine with 250k miles but others falling apart and breaking before 100k
if pic related is what youre going after then hell yeah I had one that had 196k when I sold it and it was great still see it running around 4 years later
>>16494524
how can you tell how it has been treated?
>>16494605
I went to test drive a 2000 ES300 recently and the oil change sticker said 'Come back by May 2013'.
should I cop this 500 turbo?
>same engine as the abarth
>same body as abarth
>comfier seats
>10k cheaper
seems like the only downside is less scorpions
>>16494455
It's a 2013 with 16000 miles.
Fully optioned except for the beats audio system which is garbage anyways. pic dump commencing
Very cool.

trying to take the tires off my 96 jimmy.,.. what the fuck is this?
>>16494402
It's an alternator.

Basically what your filename suggests, it's to prevent people from nicking your wheels.
thanks

Just picked up this 2015 taurus SHO
20k miles
Performance pack
>>16494349
Seems like it'll be fun to me.
Niice. How much? That's the 3.5 right?
Price? How is the ride?
Does /o/ have any tips for back pain whilst driving?
I've got a Civic FN2 and i can't drive it for even 30 minutes without starting to develop back pain :(
Maybe try not having curved seats or even brick hard seats? Racing seats aren't worth the pain man.
>>16494328
>for even 30 minutes
either you have some seriously fucked up seats
or you need to go to a doctor
>>16494328
Get a car with actual good seats.
For me, I like a seat with good lumbar support and the back slightly reclined. My 20-year-old Lexus is comfy as fuck since it allows minute adjustments. My GMC pickup is shitty though. It doesn't recline at all and the lower back support is literally A FUCKING HAND PUMP.
>Manual > Auto cuz muh feels
>Base > Z06 because I'd rather rebuild the LS1 than maintain the high-strung LS6
>Base > Z06 because I would rather have a softer suspension for dailying
>Base > Z06/FRC because I want targa top, my DDs rigidity doesn't matter
>C5>C6 cuz muh pop-ups, cheaper
Ideally it would be a higher-mile, refresh-ready Craigslist special.
What should I look for? What would you do different?
Wow an actual car advice post, /o/ is silent.
>>16494541
You already know what you want, faggot.
We aren't here to justify your life choices.
Dont think of the ls6 as a high strung engine.. Its quite literally the equivalent of a truck engine with bolt on parts.
but youre spot on as for the ride comfort aspect of it.
Would you a Skyline?
i already skyline'd

only an r32.
Hey guys, i've got a couple projects planned for my car and I needed to get some new tools. Rather than buying pieces one by one, what tool sets would you guys recommend??
I keep this on my phone for a reason.
>>16494188
I should add that the most important thing is socket sets and jack stands.
>>16494188
Surprisingly accurate. Maybe minus the scan tool and add a voltage meter/multimeter for diagnosing basic electrical problems.
Would you a Supra?
2fatandugly4me
>>16494150
Eh, not that interested
nope they cant turn
>>16494133
The reason they're there is for cooling.
You only see fans directly drive by the engine on older cars.
Why? Because electronic computer controlled fans are better. They turn off when not needed, turn on when needed, and have a shroud to properly direct the cooling air where it's needed..
On a lot of restomods, you'll see them switching to electric fans
>>16494151
Saw (or better heard) them on some not that old Pathfinder or Pajeros, too so I wonder if they're obsolete why are they still used (or at leas have been used till not that long ago)
>>16494151
FJ cruiser uses a belt driven fan
to be fair, the thing has shitty milage anyway
