AWD Exclipse GSX nearby me for 4k.
Only thing is it's auto.
Should I?

4k seems fair. Car has a great color too. It is post face-lift? Also is the tranny a normal auto or semi auto? If it's a semi auto I would still go for it cause at least there's some interaction, but idk if the 2G got that tranny.
>>16183706
I honestly have no idea. I've never been interested in eclipses but these front ends give me a chubby for some reason, which is why I clicked on it.
Mitsubishi Eclipse GSXs were a great package at the time. Full time AWD, 4G turbo engine capable of generating upwards of 400 hp with bolt-ons, and they were pretty sexy to look at.
The 90s had the compact sports car formula figured out, why did the Japanese manufacturers deviate from it?
LOL
missed the gore thread before I pulled the clutch but I figured you guys would wanna see this. how does this even happen anyway?

$600 dollars for a mustang? The transmission will likely be fucked. How much do you expect to spend to fix it?
Just found this shit parked on the street in front of my building. How much horsepower does this add?

How many idiots have you pulled out this winter?
>1
>>16182507
>he pulls out
>>16182507
I was promised snow and there's still none, it's fucking sunny today wtf
>>16182534
I was promised an inch that wouldn't stick and got 4 or 5. Roads full of idiots on summer tires who drove to work thinking it would be fine when they left, bwahahaha
I bought my first car recently, a 2001 Toyota 4runner SR5; It's used, apparently the mechanic refurbished it, even added a custom engine or something like that.
My point is I have no fucking clue about cars, and the winterball threads turned me onto this board. So I figure I might as well ask what are some things that someone completely new to owning a car, who knows nothing about automobiles should know. Any advice is helpful.
Thanks in advance.
>>16182292
Sure, but you didnt make a single question in your post
>>16182318
I'll admit I'm not even sure where to start.
I suppose I might as well ask what are the 10 most important things to the mechanics of a car that any owner should know--just so I don't get scammed by a mechanic saying I need to replace my "headlight fluid" or something.

Have a lil over $2k to waste on my turbo shit & my stock manifold has a crack
Going Garrett GT3071R with 750cc injectors, anyone got a recommendation for a decent budget Top Mount manifold? Found this, but seems like cheap eBay garbage.

Also are Fortune Auto 500's decent for road course, or should I stick with my meh Megan Racing Track coils for a lil longer & save up for some KW's?

The problem is - you are a scumbag
>>16182026
say wah?!
Worn wire or connection is causing the circuit to close. Could be in the steering wheel if that's where your button is located. Or near any structural damage your car might have had in the front end.
Any /o/utists into retrofitting led lighting?
So far the results have been great. Really gives a nice effect over standard bulbs.
Bypassing bulb out checks has been a hassle, my interior footwell lights pulse as they are checked during startup and my foglights need load resistors that get pretty hot.
Are LED and HID color temperatures measured the same, 5500K HIDs look more yellow than 5500K LED's
>>16182009
So far I've only done my dash and interior lights that were there stock. My cars an 85 so there's not much to replace, but I was planning on doing my indicators, reverse, tail, brake and parking lights with leds at some point, just got to make it better to drive first.

Did my jeep tj, there was a board mod to stop the rapid flashing bulb warning.

Is there any reason for this? The hatchback version seems really good for the money (I found a 2006 with 150,000 for 4k)
V8 dunnydoor vx with fe2 and wide tyres if Aussie.
Mps is ok but it's literally a focus with awd
>>16181929
I have a 2005 hatch with the 2.3L
I got it with 100k miles for $5k.
Love the car
>>16181947
It doesn't even have AWD, and it uses a Mazda engine instead of a Volvo one.

if you have to carry weight in the back you need RWD, or you would just skid the front tyres too easly and lose control, also fun/performance, but you will argue there so i wont even try
