Not sure if this is the right place but I was wondering if some of you guys could shed light on how much this would cost me.

depends on the car, but normally a front fascia will cost you about 300 bucks, half that if you don't want to pay oem prices
>>
The whole fasica? Dont they just have to sand it down and repaint or does it need to be replaced
>>
>>15607427
They can probly fix that without replacement. So paint and labor. ~$400

Why tailgate tho? Why not flash the high beams or something a little lesss risky?

Shit faggots with a fragile ego say
>Manual is better
>hur hur can't steal it
>faster (not anymore)
>better mpg
>better shift points
Seriously. Why pay for something that's outdated technology. It doesn't connect you to the car that much more, I've driven stick in American cars and Jeeps. Paddle shifters are more fun.

Manual is more fun but you're right in some aspects
Not faster today
MPG difference at the most is 1-2 if that
and shift points can be fixed with a tune, or as you said manual mode
But stick is fun
>>
Those of us who don't want to spend $40,000 on a modern performance car still quite rationally prefer stick.
In all likelihood when current performance cars depreciate to the play-toy level manual will be more reliable.
>>
for better driving experience I prefer manual every day (it actually does connect you to the car more) and there are certain types of cars i'd never want with an auto
but I kind of have learned to like autos, its nice for my daily

100a engine start?
then how to do i charge the fucking thing itself? i had it plugged in for a few hours on the "boost" option, how do i know its fully charged?

>>15605610
I would assume the big LCD tells you what percentage it's at. Just read the instructions. 100a is the engine start.

Oil is a big part of automotives, so let's talk about oil.
Which oil do you use, full synthetic, synthetic blend, or conventional?
Do you have a preferred brand of oil, why?
I was looking at oils and recently came across Miles Lubricants. I've never heard of Miles Lubricants before, but they have a product "MILES SXR 15W40 CJ-4 HEAVY DUTY FULL SYNTHETIC MOTOR OIL". I need 5 gallons of oil, and I would like synthetic, but name-brand synthetic is somewhat cost-prohibitive considering I need 5 gallons. The Miles oil is $89/5-gal pail with free shipping, much cheaper than name-brand synthetic. Of course, I could get conventional Rotella T in a 5 gal pail for $65 shipped, but I am wondering if anyone has ever heard of or used Miles before.

i use rotella 15w40 in just about everything i own, two dirt bikes my f250 superduty and my turbo ls1. Havent had a single oil related failure yet.
>>
>>15604940
I have a big 8.3L Cummins 6CTA diesel. It takes 5 gallons of oil and is just about overdue for an oil change. So I'd like to find something that is affordable in bulk. Rotella is good stuff, but I can't seem to find 15W40 in synthetic. It probably doesn't matter for my truck anyway.
>>
>>15604973
with that fucking huge engine and also being diesel, you'd have to try pretty hard to fuck it up, it'll keep running on pretty much any oil you pick as long as you're not flat out retarded, until the truck either crashes or rusts away around it.

About to pull the trigger on a focus svt,
what should I be looking for?
how expensive it is to maintain?
how to avoid looking like a ricer?
best color for sporty looks?
any recommended mods?
It'll be my first car (bought with my kneepad job), I don't care much about going fast, (I live in a place with tons of curves and hills).
My only concern is getting replacement parts, I think the svt is not common in my country.

Sup /o/, just picked this up today and wanted to share. It's a 2008 BMW 135i with 62k miles that I paid 16.8k for. I'm coming from a 09 civic si so this is a huge upgrade for just a few extra grand on top from selling the civic. The plan is to tune, catless downpipe, chargepipe and an electronic cutout for the exhaust after the downpipes. Kind of crazy how much nicer it all is and how much more power I get for relatively little extra cash on top.
How did I do? I'll post some more pictures.

That kinda seems a bit expensive especially when it's a 2008.
