Today after driving my friends C63 AMG I can't look at cars or even at life the same anymore. I can't stop smiling every time I remember driving that thing.

I currently drive a 150hp shitbox that handles well... and I thought it was pretty fun to drive. I thought my perfect car would be a S2000 or a Miata, something with not too much power but nice handling.
After driving that german god machine now I want something brutal, loud, with insane torque and acceleration, fuck Jap cars.

Would a newer 5.0 Mustang provide a driving experience similar to a C63 AMG? I know the level of refinement is much lower but has anyone driven those two cars... how do they compare?

Hey /o/, I saw a thread about this a while ago and I'm still confused about this. I'll keep the question simple. Can you attach the front end of a Silvia to pic related or does the conversion only work with pre 1994 models?

Hey /o/, my clutch is sticking at the bottom when I press down fully. It springs back up, but it gets stuck for half a second and then comes back up, any thoughts as to what it could be? It just recently started doing it yesterday.

Also, second question, I'm getting a clunk from both my rear struts/springs. The strut mount is tight, as well as all the other mounting bolts. Is there something internally that can cause the clunking noise?

why can't the actual sixth gen mustang look like this

I honestly really like that grille design, and the way the fog lamps are integrated into it. It reminds me of the 60's GT without actually trying to be a retro design like the fifth gen.

It's a hell of a lot more creative than the normal design, which is basically just a Fusion with a longer hood

>garage has an in-progress 2000's accent owned by a friend jammed in it
>driveway gets used too much, has one project in it already
>can't park uninsured/nonrunning on the curb
>can't put cars in the backyard because rented house
>going to go broke if I store them at a place
>roommate 2 has a Duster project and roommate 3 has a Talon, both off-site that need to come home
>all four of us have dedicated daily drivers on top of this

Should I just go back to guns until I can move out to bumfuck and get 10 acres
They were so much fucking easier to store and having one I don't use just meant putting it in the back of the safe
Had to pass up two sub-$400 parts vehicles today because I literally have nowhere left to put anything and I don't think my job will let me keep any more projects there. And there's still at least two projects I want to START on top of all this.

Best bang for your buck lightweight wheels? I need 17x8 or 18x8", and somewhat stylish without breaking the bank. My current wheels are stock 17" from Enkei, about 25lbs per without tire. Was hoping to drop under 20lbs per.

I found a set of Volk TE37s for $1500 used, normally they go for $3000 new. About 18lbs. That's going to be my benchmark. Is there anything with better bang for your buck?

Gram Lights? Enkei RPF1s? Oz Ultraleggera? It's so dang hard to find actual numbers on wheel weights. What does /o/ recommend?
