couldn't find a good picture. so so so sorry
>body roll is bad
It is bad. But so is rock hard suspension. Ideally you'd want zero body roll, and suspension that doesn't upset the car over bumps. Magnetic suspension can do this pretty well.

Is the GT86 the new NA Miata?
>GT86

the fuck are you smoking
and nah the GT86 isnt gay enough to be the "new NA Miata"
>>16369915

>roadsters
the ND is the new NA, by the way.
>>16369915
>>16369923
The GT86 probably won't even last two more years before it gets axed. Toyobaru can't compete with Mazda here.

There are people browsing right now that don't know that turning your steering wheel when the car isn't moving is damaging to the wheels, tires, and steering column.
>mfw watching car review
>mfw the retard is parked with the car off and turns the wheel completely to the left and then to the right
Don't be one of those people.
>>16369153
Fuck it. It's 2016. So the power steering pump fails at 140k miles instead of 150k miles. Big deal.
>>16369153
I drove my power steering system dry for 6 months until the snow melted then fixed the leak. This is just another boomer meme.
There are people browsing right now that don't know that turning your engine on and driving is damaging to the engine, suspension, and brakes.
>mfw watching car review
>mfw the retard actually turns the engine on and goes for a drive, prematurely wearing his engine and pretty much everything else on the car
Don't be one of those people.
Just signed a lease on a 2016 Ridgeline. I traded my granddads Impala SS in to cover the deposit because I don't actually have any money in my account yet due to unemployment.. I had to get a work truck to use for hauling lumber and towing construction equipment to sites, my employer said he would cover the gas so that's why I got a full size pickup.
What do you guys think? maybe I should have got a ram instead? as that was my second option.
It's way comfier than a RAM, you did good
You saved yourself a lot of trouble and money not buying dodgechryslerjeep shit. Good call bro
>>16367880
Yeah I heard dodge isn't really long lasting
ITT: underrated concept cars
>>16365069
Concept cars in the earl 2000's were boss. Now you have designs like Lexus and Cadillac with spaceships.
Nissan had a pretty good design for the next z car, desu.

What could be a possible cause of skirt warping like this on a car? Car is a 1-owner trade-in with a clean vehicle history report. Want to know before I invest further in the process.
Pics to follow
Possible a side skirt that was applied and removed?

you realize that shit accords are among the most stolen vehicles?
if you want to keep the car for all of three days before your fellow nigger americans steal it then go right ahead. instead just buy some piece of shit that looks horrible but is mechanically sound.
>>16376236
You might have more luck getting one from the previous generation. (2003-07) Post your local Craigslist, and how far you're willing to travel to get a car. Also, can you drive manual?

Woah, no way
So I've got a few mods on my 2014 mustang (cold air intake, bigger throttle body, axlebacks, tune) and I'm considering taking it to the next level by installing long tube headers with a catted x-shaped midpipe. I've heard they can give you up to 30 RWHP and increased torque, which seems like a nice jump despite an overall estimated cost of about $1500 for the product and shop installation.
My concerns:
1. I live in New York City. My current cold starts are already pretty loud with the Borla s-type axle backs. With headers, I'll probably set off an alarm. If I install resonators, do they take anything away from the air flow (and, in turn, power gains?)
2. How does it effect mpg? I know, I know. Gas mileage and performance shouldn't be in the same sentence. However, this is my DD, so I'm curious.
3. Would it make more sense to just ditch this idea and save up for a procharger kit + install (this would run about $7000+) -- the only thing holding me back is that my car has 55k miles on it. I don't know if a procharger would be worth it.
How many cylinders does your mustang have?
>>16376031
It's a V6. Bought it from my friend for 10k with 45,000 miles on it and a clean history.

Too cold and tired to go riding. I liketo think about shitposting, but seldomly do it.
Why do people hate the Kia Rio so much?
I worked at a junkyard for awhile; we had one as the yard car for about eight months and it just would not die. Light as a feather and reasonably quick on dirt.
Plus you can get it with the same engine as the first-gen Miata.
>>16375696
Wait, these came with the Mazda B-series?
...BP-T swap anybody?
>>16375703
Wait, scratch that. If these share more than just the engine with Mazdas such as the 323, the KL-DE or KL-ZE might bolt in using MX-3 or Astina V6 parts.
>>16375703
All the Korean car companies based their cars on the platforms and engines of other more well-established companies.
Hyundai based off Mitsubishi, hence some 1990's Hyundais came with N/A 4G63's and 4G64's.
Daewoo based off GM Opels, so it isn't unheard of to see a 2.0L swapped Daewoo Lanos just destroy everything using the Astra's aftermarket support.
Kia based all their cars off Mazda's before being bought out by Hyundai in 2006. To this day, even using the same parts and engines as Hyundai, Kia repeatedly is more reliable and sportier, owing to their Mazda heritage. 1990's Kia Sephia's came with a BP and used the same chassis as the 323/US Escort if I remember right.
With the advent of self-driving cars, the auto industry is on its way out.
RIP auto industry: 1890-2020.
>new technology for car companies to capitalize on
>on its way out
perfect sense
>Self driving cars
>Auto industry on it's way out
I.....what? You are literally talking about the advent of a massive new technology in that field then saying the field is going to die
If anything this is great because fucking normies that can't drive will stay tf out of the way. Imagine the advent of national autobahns with fast lanes for manual drivers in which the self-driving cunts are always in the right two lanes
Cars as we know them will die. Tesla, Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook cars will dominate the roads.
