Wow we can tell literally nothing from this pic
It's probably a V8 but we can't even see the whole distributor at least take the fucking airbox off.
Jesus.

OP here my bad i'll post some more pics soon just wanted a reply first

Year and what engine specifically would be helpful. Looks late 70's. The engine is not a powerhouse. Probably makes less than 200hp. You'd really help it by researching and removing all the emissions crap. Like that foil tube coming from the exhaust manifold to the intake (literal hot air intake to improve emissions when cold) and most importantly removing the catalytic converters in the exhaust. An exhaust shop can cut them off and weld some straight pipe in their place.

It's the new Supra apparently. In case you didn't know, Toyota and BMW are building their respective cars on the same platform.

So whats the final consensus on the Fiat 500 Abarth?
Is there any reason to go for one especially when something like the Ford Fiesta ST exists?

Anything other than the Fiat 500 and maybe the Mini Cooper is pigfat to be honest.

500 Abarth is 2500lbs

Both are pretty light, relatively.

answer my question this time you faggots
My car didn't want to start the other day so I got a jump and went home, then took it to get charged the next day. They said it didn't take a charge so I would have to get a new one. I got a new battery today and I got the alternator tested at the same time, they said the starter was fine, but the alternator had a bad voltage regulator. Apparently, on my car (2008 Camry V6) the voltage regulator can't be replaced without changing the alternator.
The guy at Autozone showed me the screen on his battery-measuring device it said the alternator was putting out 13.9V. I pointed out that that's where it's supposed to be and he said it was fluctuating too much, the "ripple" reading was changing around crazy fast. Now I'm thinking that doesn't really matter and I'm fine, but he also said that if I didn't get it fixed it would kill the battery I just replaced.
My question is this: is it normal for the ripple of the alternator to be changing around so fast? Do I really have a bad alternator? The main voltage reading stayed pretty stable at 13.9, but the ripple was not. What is an acceptable range for the ripple?

My only vehicle right now is a motorcycle, and I am kinda considering just getting a boring car. Have you got any ideas of what would be optimal?
