So when I was 15 (now 20) my grandfather gave me his wife's Thunderbird for $200, it had 160k miles and I was the 3rd owner. I used it all through high school and the only major problems I had was the master cylinder went out. I want to make it faster and sound better.
I want to put a LS v8 5.3 engine, Coilovers, maybe put in 3" straight pipes in and renew the paint and interior.
anyone have any advice or suggestions for other modifications.

Spot the butthurt ford cucks
Really though OP you could probably put in a cam, intake, and exhaust and not have to go through the ordeal of an engine swap. Even if you do get the 5.3 you can't keep the stock cam for that engine because those are for trucks that burn 87 octane and suck ass for performance applications.
Are VW's built in Mexico really more unreliable than German built ones? I've only ever had Japanese and German built vehicles, but am in the market. I keep hearing horror stories about Mexican QC being really shitty. Is this for real or a meme?
They had a lot of QC issues when they first moved production to Mexico, but nowadays they just break because of bad design, not bad QC.
No shit they are
What do you expect from fucking Mexico

I was suppost to buy a 2017 Tacoma stickshift offroad 4x4. I put a 500$ deposit. It came last week then I notice that it was build in Tijuana Mexico. I decide to move one and take a loss of 500$. I'm not buying that crap.
Let me explain something if you are a manager/supervisor in a Mexican plant you will hired all your friends and family members without any experience this is why the QC is shit. All the beaners in this thread will agree with me.
Just picked this lady up earlier today.
I am in love.
What does /o/ think?
Pretty.
What are you going to name her?
Sick Tata bro!
>>16200342
Please tell me you bought the manual version?
If it's an automatic, then you need to hand you Man Card back desu senpai
>four cylinder Ford explorer
>>16200012
That exists? I've experienced the underwhelming nature of the escape but the explorer would be pure torture.
>>16200035
its shocking how dull it is inside a ford escape.
OP you know one line of greentext threads summon him and rev him up enough to make a dozen shitpost threads. Why not just make a more detailed opening post and avoid the cancer?

That's why you get a girl that doesn't know shit about cars and continuously demonstrate you know what you are doing so she doesn't bitch about your choices.

What the fuck does this mean?
It means the jews at the ford dealership are trying to get more money from you.
>>16199826
It was put there by the dealer not the manufacturer. Call him and tell him to fuck off.

Okay I'm usually a /his/ poster and I know next to nothing about cars, so forgive me for potentially asking a stupid question. Can I drift in a 2011 Honda Ridgeline? If not, is there anything I can do to give it such a capability?
>>16199533
dude what the fuck is that car? is that thing actually real?
>do not reply to Ridgeline posts
>hide Ridgeline threads
No. It's a fwd biased awd system. Impossible to do.

Cousin fucker, stop ruining trucks with your redneck shit.
So I just got a brand new 2017 Subaru Legacy and the stock speakers aren't too good, is it worth it getting them replaced?
>what audio system to go with
>how much for parts and labor
>does it devalue the vehicle

>>16199290
sure, while you're at it, add a tacky paint job, 36" rims from your friendly local nigger, & scissor doors
>>16199305
No you twat, just standard speaker set up with Bose or Sony
Since you're considering Bose or Sony for car audio, it's not worth your time or money on upgrading.
I've give aftermarket audio in every one of my cars, but I think you're better off forgetting about it and keeping it stock.
