What made the R33 a shit car?
People seem to dislike them a lot compared to the R32 and R34
Think r33s are cheaper because of this and still worth getting because of it?

Being better than the r32 in every single way made the r33 not as popular

If you love cars so much, why don't you take a road trip?
Go on a grand tour with your buddies and see a different country?
I know it's easier to sit at home and go on your preferred devices and criticize and troll various OPs for fun, but don't you ever wonder what it would be like to live the ultimate /o/ dream by living life with great passion one mile outta time?
I will make it a habit to always come to /o/ to share an inspirational story of what it means to live the ultimate /o/ life on the road.
Dream on /o/tists!

If I could find anybody crazy enough to do it with me I would. I could arrange a road trip across Italy in no time. Half my family lives there.
The vast majority of people don't want to sit in a car for 12-24 hours.

I don't have a car, nor do I have many friends. I'd love to go on a massive road trip with a huge convoy of mates, but I currently just plain can't.

I really don't see these things lasting for many years, when they fail, they fail catastrophically.

don't forget how they like to turn off at a red light and start up as you're going to take off.

This is the most annoying "feature". It's usually on be default, and most people are so stupid that they will stop and then creep a bit and stop again. So at any particular light, the car will end up starting the engine 2 or 3 times and has only moved like 20cm.

I'm looking at buying a 2005 Focus ZX3 (the 2-door hatch) because I need a shitbox that's good on gas and will pass inspection.
It's listed for $1700, manual, no significant rust, no dash lights but I'm gonna take a code reader with me when I go to see it. 150,000 miles which is the lowest I can find in my meager price range. It hasn't been inspected since 2015 but it's been sitting in this guy's lot with dealer plates on it so he just didn't care to inspect it. Has new brake pads and newish tires.
The guy says he's gonna take it to a mechanic tomorrow to have them faux-inspect it and see if it passes and then tell me the result.
It doesn't have the split port engine with the valve seat problem, it's the other one. 16V 2.0 zetec. I read that they commonly have ignition switch problems but I'm more than capable of fixing that myself.
Is there anything else I should look out for with this car, any problems it was notorious for? Is the price fair? I was gonna offer 1500 cash as long as it's not throwing any codes, but I've never haggled before and don't know how much I can get away with. In one of the pictures he's got 2500 written on the windshield so he already lowered the price quite a bit from his initial hopes.

It's not a Zetec. and they discontinued the SOHC split port after the 2004 model year, along with the 2.0L Zetec.
Go for it. That thing has the 2.0L Duratec/Mazda MZR engine, which has great aftermarket support. They're pretty bulletproof.
>>
>>16380986
Thanks, I was trying to decipher the "which engine does your focus have" model year bullshit. I thought it would be duratec but wasn't sure.
What's the cheapest way to add power to those? I've never driven small cars so I don't know if 136hp is enough for aggressive driving in traffic.
>>
>>16380979
Post your local Craigslist.

Would i be able to use a piggyback ECU that is turned off someone elses car, exact same engine, exact same injector size, MAP sensor and timing/ignition. the only difference is the A/R of the turbine? I have an HKS F-CON V pro ecu pretuned to 555cc injectors, however the tune was for a smaller turbo, as ill be using a hybrid holset H1C/H1E. If i adjust the fuel pressor to keep the car stoich will i see adverse affects other than power that isnt idea to the computer parameters? I really don't want to crack some rings over a gamble, but in theory i dont see any reason it shouldn't work, it just wont work as efficient.
PFA, my project car

On the off chance this is not a troll post:
No, that will not fucking work at all. How are you planning the adjust fuel pressure on the fly to hit your AFR target? Protip = stoich isn't what you want.
>>
If the piggyback (MAPECU?) is tuned for a similar setup, it should be good enough to get you to a proper dyno/tuning shop to get you dialed in. Just stay out of hard boost on your way there. If you don't know what you're doing, be extra careful.
If it were me, I'd do a pull on the street and watch AFRs to see how close it is. Chances are it'll be close enough even with a tune for another turbo.

Sup /o/, 21 year old europoor here, looking at buying another car because I've been driving a 1.3l diesel shitbox for 2 years, but I can't really decide what to get.
I'm considering getting a 2008 - 2010 VW Scirocco TSI (the 160hp one) or a 2008 - 2009 BMW 320i. Thoughts on these? Maybe any other cars I should look at? My budget is around 11k euro.
Insurance here is retardedly expensive and I pay for everything myself so I unfortunately can't get any fast cars.

Eurofag here,
Don't buy the golf, you prob only buy it for the looks. But it isn't a good car for the money.
I sold my miata last week and got this. I think it is really good (10K)
Audi reliability is in the shitter, when did it all start to go so wrong?

All luxury brands will cost you 5-10% of their cost in repairs/parts every year. Just get used to it.

They don't have to. It will be tested by Motortrend and other magazines soon enough. Keep crying, bitch

Anyone else unironically like eurobeat? I just got two CDs for Christmas and it's nice having instant Eurobeat on demand when I need it just by switching the source.
Also post your favorite eurobeat songs I guess.

Alright /o/, I'm in need for some honest advice here.
I've found my dream car on Craigslist, it's a 1988 GMC suburban, 69XXX miles, and it runs, guy wants 1000 for it. problem is I'm poor as fuck, 18, and nobody thinks I should buy this car. Do I impulsively buy a project shitbox or pass up a great deal?
TLDR; do I buy an '88 suburban?
