probably. you'd want to change both tires on the drive axle if you've got a limited slip.

if you've got an open diff and no abs/traction control you can really fuck around with tire sizes.

>>16310164
If by sidewall remaining the same, you mean that they are like 215/45R16 and 205/45R16, then you really shouldn't unless you are changing all 4.

If all you have is an open diff, and you don't mind disabling your ABS, you can, but it's a turbopoorfag thing to do.

>>16310001

Yes...

>>16310001
No...

I love mine and most owners don't regret it. Some even prefer it over the base c6. Their lightweight and gearing makes them really quick. You will pay a bit for certain mods, like headers. Other than that, realistically for 5k you can get 420rwhp+ that pulls good and sounds even more amazing. I have LTs I need to put on, and plan to cam it come spring.

Op here it's a 2002 4Runner

Just replace the bumper. What's the issue?

>>16309885
Kinda this... whats stopping you from just ordering parts and doing it yourself?

Family has a 2005 E320 diesel. Its a good car, nice torque delivery, relatively modern interior. Main problem is when it goes wrong its a total bitch. Expensive parts and confusing construction have put the repair bill high. Other than that, go for it. Wouldn't buy a petrol though.

>>16308659
i'm going for a diesel :) i am working as a car mechanic apprentice so fixing it should not be a problem

>>16308693
Its not a beetle dude, it requires special tools and is a total nightmare. make sure you know what you're doing before you start dissembling things.

First, why would any vehicle other than a police pursuit vehicle need a "brush guard?"

Second, why does your Fiat 500X need one? To slow it down and give it worse fuel economy?

It would look ridiculous with one, too. And I actually have a soft spot for Renegades despite how ridiculous they are. And for your sake, I hope you got the 1.4 turbo with the 6-speed.

Mine is about 10 to 15 degrees off. It used to make me crazy but now that i'm used to it i find it easier to steer it with one hand somehow.

It also has effectively permanent neverseize stains

Keep your eyes on the road, not on the wheel

You think that's a lot to put up with? Wait until you see a wrench for a wheel. Or missing doors.

Post pics dude. I have a 79 project

Didn't take any the other day when I stopped and looked at it. How much did you pay for yours and what kind of condition was it in?

1975-80 cars are the cheapest and least desirable American cars to buy. With spots of rust I already would say it's overpriced. If it needs anything else walk away.

>the entire state is cucked by the epa

it's a shame they have such good roads.

even though florida has shitty roads, the auto laws are pretty much nonexistent if you just have valid registration. doing whatever the fuck you want to your car makes living in this state worth it.

>>16305084
>makes living in this state worth it.

sure, if you want to become "florida man"

I went to college in L.A. and drove out with my NA Miata, registered in CT. CT doesn't give a shit- no inspections, cars over 25y.o. don't need emissions. I think the way to do it is have out of state registered cars but live in CA.

The roads there were amazing. 15 minutes from where I lived, I could be in the Angeles National Forest on absolutely stunning roads. Pic related, it's the Miata (ended up selling it in L.A.).

You really want your first car to be that old?

Going this full retard on your first car.
Op nobody here drives that shit as their first car like they say they do. hey drive mom or dads or maybe even their own avg commuter car. This is fucking stupid to get as your insurance will be literally insane regardless....I cant even imagine if you get this shit heap.

I mean i already test drove it and it drove surprisingly well... i guess thats why i came to ask yall

never heard of it

but shit like that was popular back in the 50s so probably

All in all, it's not as bad as that Gas Monkey shit or others. I'm fucking tyred of "flippers" and poser mechanics. These guys at least get their hands dirty, they're not pretentious and the relationship between Mr. Halalallayallah and 'Murrica man is kinda fun. Some of Halalallayallah's designs are the most cringeworthy shit, but the on in OP doesn't even look that bad.
