if car engines are literally just controlled explosions turning a crank then how come we don't go deaf the instant they turn on? wouldn't the decibels be in the hundreds for each cylinder?
>>15935948
so then how is it a combustion engine you fucking retard? there's no combustion so what, it's a flaming engine? i didn't know every engine was a model of your shitbox trying to do a single lap around a track.
>>15935941
Its not exposions idiot.
Does flicking a lighter make you deaf?
Fuck you're stupid.
>>15935941
More of a burn if you want to think about it like that. Gasoline doesn't explode like TNT. It burns and pushes down on the cylinder over time instead of exploding all at once. Still fairly loud without mufflers though.
Hello /o,
I'm thinking about leasing an Evoque. All back. They are advertising $3500 down and $389 per month.
Any opinions? Is it true Land Rover has gotta much better since acquired by Tata? I thought the first gen evoque looked like a girls car(I'm a late 20's business owner/wanna-be chad.) but the '17 in black or grey has me rethinking that.
Better ideas? How about the discovery?
There hasn't even been a bodyshape update to the Evoque yet. It's still a useless trophy wife bucket with gunslit windows and horrid visibility.
Buy an Escalade. Faster, bigger, more comfortable.

>sorry. not a new gen, but a facelift.

>That was exactly my first opinion of it, but it kinda grew on me.
I drive a 1997 Honda Civic DX that I swapped with a VTEC motor. It is turbocharged, bright green FMIC and red Konig wheels. Has a couple stickers on the rear window (came with the parts) and has a giant eBay fart can on it. Also an eBay grill. Am I considered a ricer even though I have a real performance oriented car?
>>15935688
>Real performance oriented car
>Civic
Wew lad had me going there
also have mad tyte jdm hood spacers on the rear of the hood.. my wastegate wouldn't clear without those + beating the hood with a hammer for a bit
>>15935692
give a guy a break if you drove it i swear you'd enjoy it, ~220hp in this car feels like a rocket ship
Boss wants to sell this tire machine online since we have a new one and he asked me to clean it up. Can you guys help me sell it? Here's what I have so far

This, nobody wants a machine with no spare parts
Who's dumb enough to buy a tuned up 4 banger for the price of a Corvette?
People who like to daily drive their cars and/or aren't braindead jocks or greying midlife crisis losers.
>>15935541
where in the fuck is a Corvette selling for 49k at ANY trim level? and where is a base RS that much money?
t. Canadafag who saw a loaded RS priced at 49k beaverdollars

You sound upset.
My friend is looking to get his first car, hes looking at a fox body, so i ask you /o/ what are some of the qurks, and is a fox body a good car to buy as his first car
It's a piece of shit with a potential choked, wheezing V8.
If he gets one tell him to 351 Windsor swap
>>15935518
Hes looking at the 2.3 L 4 bannger
Also would a LS swap work in a fox body?
>>15935529
It would work but I dunno how a Chevy engine would mate to a ford gearbox

Lots of them are mk1.5s nowadays ,which means a potentially 300+ hp engine (3s-gte) in a 2500lb car

Generally slower than a civic, regardless of engine
>>15935510
Oh shut the fuck up here's your (you)
Is there a car similar to the Miata within its price range? I've been looking at it and like it but it's generally considered a feminine car (and I'd rather not look like a total faggot).
>>15935438
AW11 MR2
Honda Civic
Toyota Corolla SR5

>being this much of a fag that he cares if his car looks feminine
>>15935446
looks like my muffler decided to fuck off of my exhaust pipe. now sounds like i'm driving a lawnmower filled with pennies.
What's the fix here? Estimated repair cost?
We know nothing of your car
We know nothing of the integrity of the remainder of the exhaust line
Just replace everything that has flaking rust on it
>>15935400
if the metal behind the rusted break spot is good enough an exhaust shop can just cut off the rotted portion, weld on a new pipe with a flange and you'll be on your way.
depending on where you are probably about 200-350 all said and done
Are Japanese cars really more reliable or is it just a big meme? I want to buy a 100k+ mile car because but I dont want to buy some boring plastic shitbox
>>15935316
Not so much anymore. For the 90s and 00s, Hondas and Toyotas were the best but even then most 'Murrican cars had good drivetrains but other shit broke.
Japanese marque cars are more reliable. One of the most reliable sedans you can buy is the Camry, which is made in the US with mostly US parts. It's still a camry though.
>>15935325
what are some re;liable manual transmission american cars that you would recommend? lm looking for something 2008 and up
