Bump.
Also wondering if there's any other preferred apps. Is there a reason Torque seems to be the go-to?

One with an authentic elm327 or stn11x0 chip

>>15724275
Thanks man. I didn't realise there was such a thing as an "authentic" ELM327, and just presumed they were all cheapo chinese crap. Any link to the genuine article?

it doesn't matter. i want hidden ones.

governments decided they were too dangerous and would hurt pedestrians more as opposed to inset headlamps.

They aren't strictly illegal in some countries but manufacturers design cars for multiple markets so its easier just to design to the lowest common denominator.

>>15724004

Yep.

Also the reason why the frontal area of cars is so huge now, as this gets cars better safety ratings.

Pros-
Can change where the wheel sits
Cam widen track
Ones in pic are much better than the shitty skinny ones that only allow you to use 3 threads of the studs
May make handling better.

Cons:
More load on wheel bearing
More load on everything technically
May adversely affect handling

>pro
You get your desired fitment
>con
Reduced strength

There's nothing really wrong with running them, the ones in your pic are hubcentric too which is good but you have to be aware of the hub size of the car and the center bore of the wheel or it wont work.

It's don't if you drive fast or try to do wicked skidz
Alright for slow moving flashy car.

Once lots of Americans began to buy imported cars Detroit was like fuck it we'll just make our cars like the foreign ones. This is still happening today as you can tell. American cars were SO much better looking than any other cars when American cars were the only ones you'd see on American streets

It was only during the late 30s in the years right before WW2 that cars improved substantially. Here's a 1934 Ford which looks like a 20s car still. I think better production methods appearing due to pre-WW2 militarization led to better automotive technology

wat

1941 cars were basically 1931 cars with different bodies

a 1921 Ford was a goddamn Model T a 1931 Ford was a Model A

the 20s had most of the industry adapting to production lines too

>>15723094
During the 1920's, there were no car designers. It was just engineers designing the cars. If you wanted a good looking car, you brought it to a coachbuilder for a custom body

This changed when Harley Earl was hired by General motors. Earl created GM's styling department. He brought design and styling to cars. Suddenly, you didn't need to go to a custom coachbuilder to get a good looking car. He then invented the concept car with the Buick Y-Job to show what they were capable of, and helped design the GM Futureliners for GM's Parade of Progress.

Harley Earl became infamous during the 1950's. Just about anything good looking from GM at the time, he had a hand in. The Chevrolet Corvette? That was Earl. The Tri-5 Chevys? That was Earl. Those gigantic Cadillacs with the huge fins? That was Earl.

Get a ls2 from a wrecked hsv for like 2k

>>15722697
Care to elaborate on what the benefits of this is?

I was finding ls1's for like 2k as well, but is the ls2 good for boosting?

>>15722703
No ls is good for boosting unless you replace the internals
Ls2 is good price, better than the ls1 in every way, and can make big na power without too much work

>>15722437
Go to vatozone noob

>>15722439
Already tried. They don't have it or anything similar.

>>15722504
Then go to Oreillys

anything is possible with enough money.

but easily? Nope. Not a chance in hell.
Why not just get a 89-94 model and 1.3L 16V swap it? Drops right in, and the 1.3L DOHC 16V is a fucking screamer.

>>15722322
Not going to fit without significant front end re-engineering.

Keep in mind the Metro slotted below the Cavalier in Chevy's line up. 3800 Cavalier swaps have been done, but even then it required re-engineering, and a custom sub-frame built from scratch.

The Metro has a smaller engine bay. A 3800, as a 90 degree V6 engine, is simply not going to fit.

But why the 3800 anyways? It's a shit meme engine with no good points beyond reliability.

>>15722382
its one of the best v6 engines ever made

because they're right

>>15722158
No, they're not,

>>15722467
They're right gringo.

probably a base mitsubishi mirage or a base versa or something like that in the 12k range brand new

>What is three on the tree

I'm inclined to believe cars have much stiffer clutches than bikes, which would fatigue your hand far too quickly.

i wish people that knew nothing about cars would go back to rebbit

BMW s1000r

Cocaine and hookers with the rest

>>15722076

A bunch of Geo Metros.

Why not?

something new that gets good gas mileage

>>15721837
Goes in all fields

Don't be a kid basically. In my opinion the turbo vws were made for commuting and going to the grocery store until every millenials figured it came with a turbo stock so they slap exhaust on them, boost controllers and tinker with a system that was not designed to be raced in the first place
They are very reliable and very fun to drive if you don't fuck around.
I don't even like VW.
Drove a gli with the 2.0T that was stage 2 and I was never so scared of pressing the pedal. They really can hd the streets pretty good.

>>15722240
Why so you dislike the turbo sport models? VW and Audi sure has a habit of throwing turbos on regular cars like the A4 but cars like the GTI and the 337/20th editions I've seen beat to hell religiously for 150k+ with no serious issues.

As long as you're not banging gears it can take a beating. The biggest issues I've seen is boy racers damaging synchros but that happens to so many cars it's not fair to blame VW.
