Hey /o/ pic related is my car. First car bought with my own money. Had it for about 6 months now. It is a 6speed v6. It is bone stock and just trying to figure what I should do first to it once the winter subsides. New wheels? Coilovers? Exhaust?
Also pic is not my actual car but it is identical
>>16323807
wheels and exhaust but beyond that, leave it alone.
>>16323807
Always do exhaust first. Don't forget cosmetics like HID headlights, smoked taillights etc.
Any Ohio anons here have any tips for taking the driving test? I'm taking my test for my license in 2 days (I'm 18) and I'm incredibly nervous about the maneuverability portion. Anything that might help me pass is much appreciated.
We have more snow coming on top of the continuous lake effect.
You're going to crash.

Practice over and over in your driveway or some parking lot. Just do it dozens of times until you can do it perfectky with your eyes closed, then do it a few more times.

I like Tesla's but this couple is your average Teslacuck.
>dude who owns a model x has a wife that owns a BMW X5
>X5 has overhead view for parking
>she won't buy a Tesla unless elon adds that feature in a Model X

I am so fucking triggered right now.
Inf and Lex have had that almost standard for two model years. No excuse.

When can I drive from overhead view tho
This is why I hate fat people
Question.
These were designed for rotary engines.
So WHY has NO ONE swapped a Mazda rotary into one?
>>16322957
Why would you swap AMC reliability for something with the durability of a dorito (lel) and no torque?
>>16322957
Nobody's thought to? The people who would buy a Pacer to begin with wouldn't be interested in a rotary.
>>16323033
weight. The Pacer was DESIGNED for a GM-built dorito engine, but GM pulled the plug at the last minute. The AMC I6 engines that powered most of them was a last minute "OH SHIT! We don't have an engine!" move. Soing any kind of work to the I6, like say a valve cover gasket, is a MAJOR operation because the engine bay wasn't designed for it, which had the I6 engine half-under the fucking cowl.
How can I check a car I'm about to buy wasn't previously owned by a fucking nigger?
>>16322725
If it smells clean then that's usually a good sign, but it's not a sure thing as some niggers are getting real uppity these days.
If there are KFC wrappers in the glovebox then just walk away.
>>16322725
If you don't find a strand of your Mother's hair
>>16322725
smells clean as mentioned before
matching tires
the car is aligned
the oil is never too old or unchanged
The car is well maintained
the car doesn't show signs of being heavily eaten in as a habit
some of these cars spend years on auction sites
why do they never lower the price?
know a guy who has been trying to sell his silvia for 2 years now, hasnt negotiated once on the price
thinks 80s stock car is somehow worth 20 k
>>16322593
He doesn't want to lose money. My friend just bought a mostly stock silvia k's for $7000.

A guy in my town wants 4 grand for a z4 thats in parts. I first saw his listing back in march and he hasnt changed it once
Test a drove 2012 370Z couple days ago. Kinda fell in love with it right away. Thoughts or personal experiences with the car? It'd be my daily so someone tell me if I'm about to make a bad mistake. Financing over 6 years btw. Not having kids anytime soon either.
Pros
>Fast
>Sexy
>6 Speed
Cons
>Bare Bones
>Horrendous blind spots
>Rough ride (allegedly) (didnt notice)
>Interior is meh
Opinions PLEASE
Thanks
C5 and C6 corvette are basically the same car but better in every single way.
Better gas mileage
Better visibility
More space
Better trunk
Better drivetrain reliability
Lighter
More reliable
Cannot get body rust because fiberglass panels instead of metal
>>16322104
You might want to check out the Toyobaru or the Miata if the 370Z is down your alley. But at the end of the day, japanese coupes are pretty much all barebones, fun to drive cars that aren't the fastest or the most practical but are fun. If you have money to spare and want it, it's not a bad choice.
>>16322104
save a fuckton of money and buy the cleanest low mile'd 2007+ 350z, it looks better too
So i hadnt driven my car for like 4-5 days and today in the morning at 10am i tried starting it and the battery was dead. I jump started it and it worked and i drove it around the block for like 15 minutes then parked it again.
Same day but 11 hrs later at 9pm i tried starting it again and again the battery was dead and would not start. I jump started it again but this time took it farther away to boulevards and drove it for like 30min before returning.
Anyway, my question is, is driving around the block not enough to charge a battery and thats why my battery did not hold the charge or is my battery fucked and tommorrow im going to have a dead battery again?
Also whats an economical but decent battery for a shitbox?
>>16321904
bamp
Batteries can suffer momentary drains as they acclimate to colder temps. How old is the battery? And no, just scooting around the block isn't enough if you had to jump it to begin with.
>>16321904
Going around the block is even worse for the battery since the alternator can't spin fast enough to provide a charge for it since you're only going 30-45mph. Yes your battery will be dead in the morning. You need to drive it on the highway for about 30 miles at speeds above 70mph for best best results.
Go to Costco. Batteries are 71$
You were given 9000 Dollars.
WHAT WILL YOU BUY?

What are some good real life drift races to watch?
Also how do I into wrc? are there any particular races I should watch?
>>16321658
drifting duels like initial D are not actually races (i.e. formula drifting and whatever japan has)
rally driving rarely has overtaking so I doubt that's what you're looking for. That's the only place where drifting makes sense because of the road conditions, otherwise you're just killing your tires.
i'ts simple OP

'go drifting' does doughnuts...

Hello /o/ I'm a complete faggot and offer nothing to society what's so ever. I'd like to get into cars so I can actually seem like a man and contribute to this world. Give me any and all knowledge on automobiles that you've got
>>16320996
post your local craigslist and your budget and Ill find you a shitbox to buy and learn shit on.
I dont think you should watch youtube really but if you have to chrisfix and engineeringexplained both have lots of great videos regarding cars.
Buy an older car for half your expected budget so you can buy tools and parts to learn how to work on it.
And beer. Nothing like beer when the god damn fucking thing piece of shit who did this oh no you fucker goddamn FUCK SHIT
Also a MAP gas torch.
>>16321015
This pretty much
Most of us who didn't have parents or people to teach them how to work on cars, started out this way.
We bought a shitbox and some tools and started fixing it.
