You already have a cold air intake

Spectre air filter

I wanna do this and figure out a way to delete the IAC and not make the computer say fuck you and run the truck weird.

By fitting the right resistor instead of the sensor/actuator.

>ll these cars are track queens but none of them can get close to an 11 sec 1/4 mile

Except the ACR does 11.6s and Grand Sport with the optional auto and PSC2s does 11.8s. Also, even the Ponycars are doing low 12s which is close to 11s.

I don't know where that meme started. My shitty old S10 blazer could take turns are 2.5x the speed limit and could almost keep up with STI's on the tight mountain roads. I'm pretty sure It'd destroy any 70hp euro clown car on a tight road.

Step 1: get car
Step 2: shit on car will break
Step 3: figure out how to fix it with internet/books
Step 4: learn mechanics of car

Get a Chiltons/Haynes manual for whatever car you have. Problem is the bus company isn't going to let you near the internals.

Modern Automotive Technology text book is what they gave me back in high school. It's bretty useful, you could get an old used edition which I bet is still relevant

Wasn't expecting such fast replies, thanks a lot guys.

They are looking for electronics. My gps ipod and one sub got stolen. You could tell it was dumb niggers because they couldn't figure out how to get the other sub out and they didn't steal my $100 tool set which was brand new.

>>16260339
Ah, that's a relief, then. They ripped out my emergency $10 from my leather binder and didn't take that so I was worrying they might commit some identity fraud with my Driver's license, registration, mortgage, and some client info.

I had like a total of $300 worth of tools in the back and like $100 work/winter boots and was surprised when they were still there.
I guess they just wouldn't want to carry such large objects and clearly look suspect to people.

I had my car broken into twice. First time was moving to my neighborhood and being new from a good place I left my car unlocked. I came out to every door and hatch wide open. Nothing seemed taken initially but later found out my Swiss gear backpack was gone. Second time was my window was smashed but no entry was made. I think it was my old landlord since I just moved down the street a year later.

For the money, probably a Mustang GT convertible. Or a 370Z convertible. Or an Audi TT convertible.

Noticing a trend?

Convertibles are faster? Is that because there is less weight on top or something?

Grab it from him, fix the electrical problem, and then swap in a decent Toyota drivetrain.

Yeah, it's worth it if you get rid of the terrible VW engine and transmission.

MK2 Golfs are real tractor simple shits compared to modern hatches.

They're a fuckton to work on so if you want to get into wrenching, this is one of the fucking best opportunities to get experience.

If fixed through and through, they're also incredibly reliable and durable (don't listen to meme burgers, they don't know european made MK2 golfs)

"Like any LR you need to find one that was actually taken care of. Most people who buy one for its name can't afford a new one in the first place. So do you think they're really going to spend money on repairs and preventive maintenance? Not likely! Look out for that one-owner vehicle, even if you have to contact dealers to get leads. Most dealers don't want to touch an older LR anyway (an 06 is 10 years old now!) so they may flip one to you that hasn't been abused and has been taken care of"

buy a Honda CRV for 3k

>>16259830
no.
Air suspension, british engineering, poor off-road ability, and high maintenance costs are a recipe for disaster

>>16259839
>poor off-road ability

I will give you the other, but really? They are pretty good in standard form assuming everything works

My family (7) toured all over Europe in one of those. The Autobahn sucked, doing 80kph with flashers on during hills.

I'd have one in the US if I could afford it now.

That comes from the olden days when your engine block wound literrally crack under pressure, coldness and rapid heating due to shittier mettalurgy. Now with better antifreeze chemistry, mettallurgy and better engine building period you can drive off in as little as five minutes. I usually pull off as soon as the RPMs level back down to idle speed and Ive never had a problem. That was hiw I did it even in Alaska and Ive never had a problem.

30 seconds is plenty of time. Just take it easy for the first half mile.

>>16259318
You don't really have to wait for the engine to warm up to standard temperature but it wouldn't hurt the car if you ran it for a minute before driving, new cars have smart computers that stop you from going to redline while the car is still cold

Rwd, 50/50 weight, vtec, lightweight, honda reliability, revs to 9k, a toddler could drift it stock and it beats 100k cars around the track.

convertible only.

The S2000 is cool but largely overrated. The only thing it has going for it is its meme engine hp/l rating which no one really gives a shit about except for some autists. It's an average roadster that is very overpriced and is surpassed by the 350z/z4/911 in virtually every aspect of performance and value.

People like to think of the S2000 as Honda's version of the miata legacy but it just simply hasn't caught on. It's a strange vehicle that is out of place in its category.
