>track day

Since you know this little, you'll likely kill your brakes, but other than that it should be fine.
It just won't be much fun in a landbarge like that.

>>16175069
Yeah, taking a merc wagon to the track is probably not the smartest idea, lol

Sure thing. Lots of people do it ironically in older 90s camry's and tercels and the like.

Just don't expect to be setting any speed records, don't drive stupidly cuz TRACK DAY YO, and enjoy yourself.

Take the intake piping off of your turbo and play with the turbine. If the blades move side to side when you press on them or look chipped it's time to get a new turbo.

>>16174648
shieet is that the only way? i think the turbo on my car is underneath the engine or someshit but its rather hard to get to

Also i suspect the problem might be a vacuum leak, since i had one before and my car was idling very roughly. I took it to the mechanic and he fixed it but warned me that all the turbo hoses were pretty dry

Now i dont have a rought idle but i feel like my car isnt getting boost

>>16174664
Boost leak.

Sell your vw before it blows up.

who cares about power when you get that sick induction sound uleh

>>16174554
anywhere between 6.9 to 42.0

>>16174560
42 horsepower? Was the intake clogged with leaves before the swap?

>>16174524
They're sellouts that took making it big over making good cars. Buy a Caterham or TVR or Noble or Morgan or Marcos or Ginetta or Ascari or literally anything else if you want an exotic British sports car.

Lotus is on the extreme end of impractical. Ridiculously small, very uncomfortable, little to no amenities. Also, you pay quite a bit for what essentially is a more powerful and much less reliable miata with an exotic bodykit. People who are in the position to own and maintain lotuses usually have many better options.

Personally, if the evora (murifag here) was about $30-40k cheaper id get one. But i cant afford dropping 90k (before dealer markups, after is probably closer to 105-110k) on a car that's biggest amenity is AC from a company that is known to have severe reliability issues in the past, no matter how good muh driving feels are

>>16174623
>little to no amenities

I thought their whole deal was about being light weight.

No. They're the best car company period.

>>16174023

did you check with walgreens to see if they have parking lot cameras?

>>16174035
Parked in the back where I never expected another car to park. It looked like somebody pulled into the spot next to me and swiped me then just pulled out the parking lot at ~11am.

Legacy w/turbo seems to fit the bill, I've always had a soft spot for it

>>16173978
a bit mundane I guess. Plus I'm in the rust belt and I don't want to imagine the horrors most old stick civics have been through

>>16173879
Because 4 cylinders got really good.

5 cylinders were a compromise of space and power, and 4 cylinders now win one and are adequate in the other.

how aesthetic are those early WRX boot decals tho

>>16173486
Sounds like rod knock, if so you're fucked.

Maybe an exhaust leak if you're lucky.

That's a lot for any Twingo.

Does it have a sunroof?
Does it have the 16V engine?
Is it manual?
Is it some rare pepe edition?

The whole appeal of them is that they're insanely cheap and you can't go wrong for under 1000 eurobucks, but for 2400 you can probably get something much nicer.

you best snatch it up before I do boy

hmm the add doesn't really give much info. But for the area, its dirt cheap, considering others with same kms and year climb uo to high 4k or even 5k euros.

Welcome to south america, where for the cost of one shitbox, you can get yourself several shittboxes of equal caliber
