>2.5k with a black box
Fuck that black box shit, glad i left the UK

Look at classic car insurance if your good with a wrench.

Other then that you'll have to bit the bullet

>>16195059
import a twingo.

>>16195059
>Pic unrelated, costs about 2.5k with a black box

Stop being 18.
You can literally insure anything under 1 grand if you're 21+ and have a year or two of NCBs.

I had a bunch of 1's and l's on my first car that I wanted a vanity on.

It was 1l1ll11

They use lower case L's on US license plates

The only reason I did it, is to make it hard to read for the police/someone telling on me

>>16192631
>>16192682
just wait until license plate readers become standard and all those edgy plates are rendered as conspicuous as PULL OVR

>>16192702
You can't pull people over in the US because their STATE ISSUED license plate is "conspicuous".


Also license plate readers are even in use in some of the poorest police departments. It's not like they don't get hundreds of thousands in grants from the state every year to buy cool gadgets


Idk how it works in britbongistan

Overengineering doesn't refer to complexity, it refers to how strong the components are compared to how stressed the engine is.

For example, a 2JZ isn't a that high tech, but extremely overengineered. It runs around 300HP stock but you can double that to 600HP without touching the internals and it will still run with little issue.

German engines are overcomplicated and weak.

>German engines are overcomplicated and weak.

But why? They have the knowledge and tradition to make great cars but what I see in the past years is, that BMWs for example, are falling apart when they reach 150k kilometers which I find unacceptable.

Btw I'm not a German car hater and I never owned one but I'm curious.

>>16178015
They're working on the same strategy that American automakers have for a while now: build pretty, but unreliable cars to save on R&D costs and make cash back through certified mechanics. Most Bimmers, Mercs, and Audis just weren't made to be driven past 130k kilometers.

But at least with American cars they're dirt simple and cheap to fix most of the time.

>not just using rubber mats

>>16203774
I'm saving up for them, 300 for front and back

Thanks!

>>16203816
I have rubber matts, I bought them the day I bought the car. The damage had already been done

6000rpm because it is pushing more exhaust volume per rpm if it makes the same power as the 10k engine

>>16203455
Say the 6000 RPM engine makes boost at 50% - so 3000RPM.

Wouldn't the 10K RPM engine make the exact same exhaust volume at it's 50%, so 5K RPM?

I think it might be the 10k one, because its likely to be less efficient and thus have more exhaust volume for the same power

You can make anything fast with enough money and time.

You can probably LS swap it.

>>16200838
>Can I make them fast
No, YOU probably can't. Because they aren't fast to begin with and whatever bolt ons and assorted shit you're going to do isn't going to do much. Now if you actually had alot of cash you could.

TEN SPEEDS, bitches. How can manuals even compete?

>>16200807
Thats just excessive

>>16200799
Unless it's a double clutch gearbox, a human with a single clutch manual transmission will be able to shift faster than a traditional torque converter automatic.

It's very luxurious, very comfortable and very good off-road. It's also very very very expensive, both to buy and to keep running.

it'll break on the test drive

>>16200506
What do you mean by "expensive to keep running". I know its has terrible fuel efficiency. Are there any other costs?

>>16200218
>better options
not for $3k. unless you can find a clean H1 for that price.

>>16200259
H1s start at 10x that, Dumbfuck

>>16200218
Spend half your budget or less on the Jeep and just hold the other half for parts and you'll be happy.

I had two ignition coil bolts brake off inside the vale cover, so today I replaced the valve cover, oil change, oil filter, spark plugs, A/C recharge, cabin air filter, replaced brake pads.
