What is this car actually based on?

>>16155788
It's simply an in-house design. The only thing that it is based off is a NASCAR stock car.

>>16155788
Any nascar I guess

>>16155698
like a FR car in reverse

Please drive off a bridge if you consider tinting your lights, your front windows or your windshield.

Mopar parts guy here. In the 60s and 70s a car club called the scat pack sent out a postcard/catalog of the best mopar performance parts for your mopar muscle car. I think the name is just a play on rat pack.

At a point in history "scat" meant to move quickly in the context of leaving. It was a conjugation created from chasing stray cats away. To scatter cats.

if you like Mopar you basically like shit

Mopar knows this and made a pack to see if people would literally eat shit

lo and behold Mopar guys like eating shit

Yes. You can do it outside in a parking lot, if the city/township allows it.

Not worth the effort if its winter, or rainy.

Might not be worth it buying the needed tools just to do an oil change outside on the ground.
Worth it owning these tools if you plan to do more work.

>>16155496

Yes and yes.

If you have a jack and a couple stands, it takes about 20 minutes.

I do mine outside, on a hill, with a gravel driveway. Still takes 20 minutes.

I have a jack(crappy one like pic related), change my tyres myself and I would be perfectly willing to spend half an hour on changing the oil as it would take longer for me to drive to a mechanic and have him do it.
I don't have stands, though and would need at least something to catch the oil in.

Where do you dispose of the old oil?

to make money

Because you're 21 years old and are trying to insure a two years old Mercedes-Benz?

Yeah until you're over 25 you will be paying ridiculous amounts for insurance..

I have never heard of the weight/insq change in contact patch effecting grip. I have heard of having too big a tire/wheel and having that slow you down but that was just for drag.

From what I've read, tire compound is the biggest thing you can do for more grip. If you can afford lighter/wider/bigger wheels and sticky tires then yeah go for it but if not just the sticky tires will be good too.

Thinking about the weight/insq of contact patch again, couldn't that be adjusted for by changing your spring/dampening rate? Or by adding down force?

>>16154885
I dont think weight has anything to do with handling. The anon above has the right idea, but don't fall into the "pigfat" meme. 4000 lb performance cars handle better than some anon's 2700 lb integra. It's all about suspension setup and tires, so you do have the right idea.

>>16155002

>handle better than the Integra

Unpossible.

I highly recommend not driving

A couple days ago I was doing a pass way too fast near the end and I fucking skidded, lost control and spun out into the opposite lane. Luckily there was nobody oncoming but they could have. After being shaken up, the only thing you can really learn is that you know nothing and anything you do from that point on is either to give it all up or to continue pursuing the road to knowledge.
So I got back in the car and tried again.

The best cure to being a boyracer is watching actual races

Look at how they drive cars and ride bikes in actual races. If you have a shitbox and can't power past someone in a blink, that is relevant to you. You're probably never going to pass anybody who doesn't want to be passed unless they're chicken on a corner and you can at least hit the geometric apex and power out before they realize they're going straight again

There is absolutely no point in buying a generic shitbox and trying to fix it up or restore it. 9 times out of 10 it won't be worth the time you sink into it and you're better off buying the same car in good condition.

For example the XE Falcon. Worth nothing unless it is a V8 or the ESP model. You can buy cars that are faster, handle better, more reliable and most importantly CHEAPER from the late 90s and early 00s.

Buy something you think is going to appreciate with time, or that you think is a bargain.

Falcon XR8s or untouched XR6 Turbos
Commodore SS
E36 BMWs (325 and 328i in manual)
E39 BMWs (540i)

Basically you want something that is bottoming out in used car prices but still has the potential to be a classic

>>16154772
Going off the XD/XE you just posted i assume you're an ausfag. Old Datsuns and Corollas are a very good 'introduction' car to learn on as they're forgiving to less-than-stellar workmanship, everything is metric AND most people into them are helpful with info and parts.

Stay away from old mazdas unless you enjoy dealing with dodgy lebos and dumbfuck maoris (personal experience).

Cost is dependant on the overall existing condition of the car and how far you want to go with it. A common saying is 'take your budget/timeframe and double it', i scoffed at that saying but 1 year later and i've realised it's completely true.
