I'm buying /o/'s favorite car, an AW11 MR2, however the issue is.... It's done 240,000 KM's on the clock, I'm using this as a daily, am I fucked or is this thing going to just shit turds and die in a corner?
bump, mr2's cost less than a pile of black slaves in the 1400's and I've been thinking of buying one.
>>16073697
buy it, faggot
>>16073697
Mine had 230,000 kms on the clock when I bought it two years ago, and I've been dailying it since then without issue.
So scrapers are obviously for glass only, but can't those bristles scratch your paint? How are you supposed to clear snow from your car without scratching the paint?
>>16073627
Don't live in the land of the ice and snow.
>>16073627
Drive really fast or drift the snow off.

When will Hyundai ever get respect?
They hired Audi's chief designer to lead their design overhaul a few years ago.
They hired the chief of BMW's M division to lead Hyundai N Sport
They get a constant stream of talent from CalArts.
What else do they need?

they're definitely doing things better, but it's still going to take a while before they're more respected. Wait until the chinks enter the US market

They needed to not make bad cars 20 years ago
Is removing a mid silencer on my car and replacing it with a straight pipe going to fuck it up?
I own an n/a volkswagen and people on forums said that it might fuck up my exhaust back pressure and fuck up my mpgs.
Is this true?
Yes. You will lose some torques.
Back pressure is the biggest fucking meme. Dudes run open headers, how the fuck is "back pressure" a thing?

I've had 6 in my Legacy once, as a ride and DD to a party. Two up front and 4 in the back. This was when I had barely had my license for 3 months and was new to manual transmissions too, and they complimented my driving and said I was really smooth. They didn't even know it was manual until halfway there when they happened to look over. Made me feel a lot more confident in my driving.

one was a girl so it wasn't completely gay

IDK, I've always removed any back seats i've had or at least laid them down to reduce my seating capacity to the objective correct number of 2.
What state/country do you live?
Do you prefer cloth or leather?
>>16073384
LA, Cali
Perfer cloth even tho I own two cars with leather seats
I dont fucking fry in the seat
Los Angeles, ca
Leather
Norway
Cloth, definitely. Leather sucks ass when its -15c/5F or colder for nearly half the year, and it also sucks ass in the warmest months
I don't know.. But I dare YOU to do it.
>>16073145
Depends how fashy your area is. There are a lot of CrownVics here that advertise traffic / parking tickets in the local police colours driving around.
I would say that this is fine but 1. this is totally not fine and 2. this could even be illegal where you live. Sorry, OPnon.
>>16073145
do you have any idea how many security guards drive around with the word patrol or security on it? Just stay away from the word police or 911 on your car and you should be good
Tldr do it faggot post pics
I really want to have a slice of the JDM life, but being relatively young, insurance is a problem. I was looking at an N/A FC RX7 (I know it's a rotary, but it's quite cheap to insure), just wanted to know if there were any alternatives for a similar price.
>>16073131
Just get liability and don't wreck it. Engine swaps will also fly under the radar of insurance companies just don't expect to get more than the value of the car before all the mods. Older rx7s are still fun though.
doesnt get any better than a DOHC VTEC Honda

So here is the story /o/ this car is the epitome of shit. I bought it a few years ago and I've been stuck with it since.
Issues:
>Revs bouncing when idle
>delay when I hit the accelerator
>bad MPGs
>Cold air not working (not a huge issue I am in the UK I can handle the 20 minutes of summer)
>Check engine light with O2 sensor errors, keep coming back every time I clear them
>Petrol smell in the cabin on start up (air off)
>Some rattling sound coming from the engine,
Things done:
O2 sensors both front and back
Coil pack
Spark plugs replaced x2
Temp gauge
Oil
Full service basically ( coolant etc)
Took it to dealer they did their checks and said it might be the coil pack, got it replaced and didn't fix the issue they said they were going to just start replacing parts until it's fixed can't afford that shit.
No one wants to buy it with a check engine light and these issues.
Any ideas?
>>16073036
Take it to a better garage. If they say they are just going to replace parts until it's fixed, they clearly don't know shit about the problem.
Take it to a different garage, see if they can diagnose the problem.
>>16073036
Also, check the fuel pump, and the fuel lines. Rev's bouncing happened on my friend's 1.0 Corsa. It's almost like a misfire-ish symptom?
>>16073036
I might be wildly talk g, but did you checked for leaks in vacuum lines? That could explain the dancing idle speeds and MAYBE could have an effect on what the hell the MAF sensor is actually sensing. As for the exhaust, could be an exhaust bushing (pic related)
As for the mechanic, don't go back to that dealer, and find yourself a reputable one, you know, the one people who really is into cars tends to recommend

Floor mounted is guud? Or do you guys like pleb top mounted?
side mount
eat my dick pleb
>>16073021
I like pleb top mounted more because I can control it more with the toes of my large-ass feet
>>16073073
this senpai
having floor mounted pedals sucks when you have fucking clown feet, top mounted is the only acceptable solution for that
>The number of driver fatal crash involvements per 100 million miles driven in 2008 was 50 percent higher for males (2.1 per 100 million miles traveled) than for females (1.4 per 100 million miles traveled).

>Shit tier bait
Why is this discrimination allowed? Females are oppressing US by dying less in crashes.
Nobody is arguing that women are less likely to die in crashes, men lead in serious crashes because we enjoy going fast af
Why is your car not faster than a Civic here o?
Why is your car slow here?
