At what age did you realize that heavier cars are better than lighter ones?
>more grip at low speeds
>safer in a crash
>better sound insulation
Idiots are always like
>b-but you need less power if it weighs less!
Sure, but a heavier car will always have a higher top speed with the same 0-60 time. For example a Lotus Elise is 900kg and has 130bhp, it will do 0-60 as fast as a medium-fast German barge, but a German barge will do 170mph and an Elise tops out at 125mph.
>y-you don't need to go 170mph!!!
That's not the point you retard. Above 60mph it will be slow as shit, holy fuck.

>heavier cars are better than light ones
wrong
>>16284255
But which is more fun around the track. The one that feels like a go kart, or the one that feels like your mom's neutered sedan?
How often will you get to 170 mph? Shit even on closed courses it'll be unnecessary.

Hey /o/,
the piston rings in my 1990 corolla are starting to go. Left it with friends over the summer and they let the oil get 2 quarts low. Stock compression is 190 psi, cylinders 1,2, and 4 are running at 140 psi, 3 is at 130.
I was planning on driving this bad boy from NY to CA in a few weeks, and at this point I'm a little scared.
What's the over under on me making it if I keep my oil topped off and don't rev it too high?
Are there any quick fixes that'll increase my odds of making it there?
I'm BOOKED until I leave so I don't have the time for a rebuild. I was thinking if worst comes to worst I could get the cylinders honed (or bored, depending on how out of spec they are) and replace the rings.
What's my best course of option here?
Is it steady at those levels or has it been sinking even lower? Does it start reliably?

>Left it with friends over the summer and they let the oil get 2 quarts low
>let the oil get 2 quarts low
If they 'let' the oil get low, it was burning oil before they had it. which means the rings were shit before they had it.
if you just drive it to CA, you'll probably make it. Keep a gallon of oil, a new set of spark plugs, and tools to change the plugs in the car though.
Toyota blocks last a while, so the bores probably aren't in bad shape, just glazed. a hone, new rings new bearings will get you fixed up most of the way, but since it's been burning oil your valves are probably halfway to being burned by now.
>>16280475
Just found out about the low compression a few days ago, so no clue if it's decreasing or not. starts up like a fuckin dream.
>>16280483
Yeah I figured it had to be burning quite a bit. My spark plugs were covered in a beige powder coating too, not exactly sure what that indicates.

Hell ya nigga. And give it a boosted K20A2 none of this 'redlines at 6000' garbage they're trying to push now.

Anyone have any info on a 2008 acura RL? Thinking of picking it up before the year is up
55K miles
12k$
>12k for a 8 year old Honda Accord
no
>>16295286
I live in miami. Everything here is overpriced. An equivalent accord is 10-11k and comes with less features. How is it a no?
>>16295345
Ignore the shitposter. It's a good car. Actually built in japan unlike most other honda and acura products. Can't get cooled seats on an accord. Might look for a manual pre-2010 TL if you can find a clean one that was owned by an adult. Miles are less important than how it was maintained.
Guess the tires?

How do you figure out the most you can spend on a used car compared to the money you have saved up and how much your job pays?
>>16294773
Unless you make insane money you should just drive a 3k civic. A car is a tool and money sink.

Can you afford payments/insurance/fuel costs without it being a financial hardship? Can you make the payments, along with all of your other expenses, and still save money every month? If so, then you can afford it, congratulations.

I'm about to go out with my wife and some friends for Thai food.
I bought a 87 bronco xlt like a week and a half ago and it failed smog because the whole evap system was bypassed. I took it to a shop and they couldn't figure out how to hook it back up. Today I went to the junkyard and studied 80s ford trucks and memorized how the lines go and then bought 2 sets of evap canisters and emissions hoses off an 89 and an 86, hooked it all up and bam! It passed smog.
