can we hear the story?

Its pretty much a heavy kit car

>mfw ausfag
life is suffering

can the c5 handle well with basic mods and wide tyres?

>>16242610
yes

the 'american cars can't turn' meme pretty much only applies to the rustang and similar mussle cars, not the 'vette/viper/etc

Here's my dyno sheet for my car a 3L twin turbo.
Approaching peak torque at about 3500rpm and peak horsepower at 5000rpm
(this is an AWD so most of you will be wondering what the lines are)

By comparison an LS1 5.7L I used to have peak torque at about 4500-5000rpm and peak hp at around 6500rpm.

Just as a side by side, the 3L TT is a much better drivers car for putting down power when I need it as it comes on a lot sooner, this is all fairly old school and optimised for cost/driveability too- there's nothing particularly fancy about the setup. Modern twin scroll turbos are a much better solution as they produce torque and hp a lot better in the lower rpm range.

what if you turbocharged a big displacement motor perchance? for example, a turbocharged 6.0l chevy V8?

you should probably ask if he even wants replacements or a different brand of tools. there's probably a reason he only has craftsman/harbor freight.

Instead of giving an old dude something new to replace something that works just fine, get him something he needs but doesn't already have.

>>16242083
Tools that he DOESNT have. Unless he specifically says he wants new shit of what he already has, or says he doesnt like having shit tools, dont buy new things for him. Its possible he likes his old tools.

Plus hand tools from craftsmen and harbor frieght have life time warranties.

>>16242116
He has pretty much every tool under the sun, but he refuses to buy nice ones and instead just bitches about how shitty and chinese they are whenever they break, then he goes and buys another one for $15.

I would get him a decent brake line tool and hand impact right off the bat because he fucking loathes his, but they don't get used that often.

literally what

the fuck is the black car meme?

I fell for the honda meme

go for a nice drive on some open roads and it'll make you feel better

It's not a bad thing, you'll be a more careful driver. I certainly am now. If you're in the downtown of your city just don't drive. Try to move a bit away from the city it's a low quality of life.

>>16242026
there is always traffic every where but yes downtown brooklyn and manhattan is the worst

>Try to move a bit away from the city it's a low quality of life

i wish anon. i understand why EVERYBODY hates nyc. long island or new jersey is more peaceful

Nice Primera

maybe the throttle wire popped off? jack up your car and tell us what you see underneath, any damage?

>>16241984
fuel is having problems reaching your engine, either because it can't get there or because it's not being told to get there. The gas pedal leads me to believe it's the latter. Check components that have to do with throttle.

What do you do that lets you retire at 30?

> I have a strong desire to start an auto manufacturer that caters to competitive enthusiasts who want cars they can tune, mod, and race for a fair price.
There are already hundreds of thousands of cars like this, they are called used cars. A boutique small scale manufacturer can never compete with that or cheap new cars like the Miata. If you want to start a pretend company you need more pretend experience in racing first. Prodrive suggested they were going to try this with the P2 but I'm sure they realized nobody wants a $60k shitbox just because it's special and for enthusiasts.

>>16241896
Not him but I effectively retired at 32.

Faster depreciation.
No matter how much you mod it itll be slower than a v8 with the same money spent on it.

But why if you claim to have a performance car? Just get some reliable shitbox instead

They are crushed, and shredded
