What does it takes to make this shitbox fast? Preferably without turbo. Is there something that can be swapped in relatively easily?

Or is it just another hachi-roku/240Z tier meme-mobile?

Nitrous I guess. There are factory turbos though so it's not like it would be that hard to add it.

port the shit out of the engine

also i believe that a 20b bolts right up to the stock transmission in the fc

also its not a shitbox

You'll be kicking yourself for not getting the V8 forever. Keep it a bit longer and save up until you can get a GT.

But I live in New York City. If I open up a GT anywhere near here I'll probably be under arrest...

GT's are for rural folk.

>>16018558
I drive a new V6. It's a great car. Ignore the "muh v8" autists. They'd rather own a 2002 GT than a 2015 V6 because they're retarded.

Guys, what is this tube I've circled in front of the battery.

I'm putting a new 1.8T into my little smurfette this weekend. It's had low compression since I bought it. A few people tell me it's gonna be night and day difference between speed, power and smoother throttle, how true is that?

Also general engine swapping. Old to new or big upgrades.

>Inb4 I'm just replacing an engine
It's actually my stepping stone to big turbo builds. The bottom end was completely rebuilt with IE parts and has replacement studs from APR.

Is it an actual new engine (longblock)?
Are you replacing the turbo?
Does your current turbo not hit full boost anymore?

It may not be that big of a difference. Certainly the smart thing to do before going high-boost though.

Looks nice.

I had my 2.0 TFSI rebuilt because it had bad complression on 2 cylinders. Burns a lot less oil, runs smoother, feels good man.

Why not upgrade to a bigger engine that doesn't use a timing belt?

>>16018710
>VAG in charge of timing chains

Trolling aside, the 1.8T is a solid enough engine.

hey all, just got an AWD car (g-sedan)

I usually put on winter tires because they kick ass in snow on my old FWD car.... now that I have AWD is it necessary to buy a set of winter tires? Any "all weather" tire that would be still be good in snow?

Side question: are Blizzaks still considered the kind of winter tires? Pic related

AWD won't help a lick when trying to stop. Also Nokians are one of the best snow tires, but blizzaks are top of the line as well.
>>
>>16018321
this

I think stopping is the most important part of winter tires. My fwd cars have always had plenty of acceleration traction. Or at least as much as I would expect given the conditions.
>>
>>16018321
>>16018389

Thanks guys

Would STUDLESS winter tires help me on:

* Roads that are already plowed, but have a thing, compact layer of snow

* Ice covered roads

* Wet, not frozen roads


We have mild winters, but our road crews suck so most highways and roads are still sort of perilous

They get a ticket from the police, other party's in the wreck can use for damages. Gf's parents don't have insurance, mom ran a red light into a newer Toyota Land Cruiser. Basically in $40k of debt right now.

Can't you just settle for like 20k straight up for the damages etc... Can there be criminal charges?

Who is this market towards?

Your appearance and attitude are more important than what car you drive, you aspie.

well for one, why would the car help your charisma?

I'd like your opinion br/o/s,

the pic is my car, and it is the best car ive owned so far and I have no intention of selling it, however I think i want something else to compliment it.
i live in the snow belt and we get a lot, so even alternating winter/summer/track will only get me through a mild storm, and if there is more than a little bit of snow im pretty uncomfortable driving it.
so what should I buy? Im pretty sure i need awd but im not ready to stop daily driving a car with lots of character and a unique look. im not into SUVs or trucks. I want a high top speed, since the abarth is quick not fast. I would like to spend less than 12k or so, and pay cash, but could potentially make payments on something as expensive as 30-40k, maybe even higher if its worth it.

tldr cheap fast awd with character

there are like 4 subies on my street, i dont dislike them but one thing i like about my abarth is that i usually dont see another one

>>16017846

There's a reason you see so many Subarus, and it's because they're some of the best cars for foul weather.

There's a reason you're the only one in your state who owns an Abarth, and that's because it's FCA shit.

Why does everyone look at max horse power and not take the integral of the horsepower function from idle to red line? Wouldn't this be a more accurate description of how much power a car has?
