Thanks for any help you guys can give me! I tried out a 900NG SE Turbo today and it was kinda a werrd experience. It had Sensonic gearbox(no clutch manual) which the owner stated had low reliability and could easily break even though it had not happened yet. It had 300hp which was insane and upgraded suspension.

Also general Saab question and answers thread for anyone wondering. Just seems to be so little insider info on these machines.

I would not choose a Saab. Sure, they are fast and a shitlot more handsome than most Volvos, but they aren't that reliable according to my experience.
If you want a reliable and comfortable swedish car, go for an old volvo 200, 700 and 900 series. Poor fuel economy, though. And rwd if you are into drifting and stuff. You can modify the turbo models quite cheap and easily if you want it to go faster.
If you want any more stylish car, or fwd, I'd go for a Passat or maybe a Golf.

Who is going to drink the koolaid here and get into one of these? Should be great bang for the buck and Genesis Motors will probably suck the dicks of everyone willing to get in on this brand. Tau V8 is glorious too, but also there will be twin turbo V6 option.

Why do these cost $2,500 vs stand-alone GPS module which costs just $200?

Because your Walmart GPS that you have to plug into the cigarette lighter is a sign of being a poorfag and won't get you that trophy wife.

My battery in my Lancer is starting to die because I have 3 things I plug into the 12v sockets that i use for work or driving. Its not the battery, It measures the same CCA it advertises, but it just can't keep up over night or every 2 days I drive it.
I'm buying a Optima red top 35 tomorrow to replace it
Should I pay the core charge or turn in the old one that is only 4 months old as an extra?
Is there anyway to keep it charged without running my electric bill up $30 every month, or wire so one can be used to jump the other?

fucking everything is a meme. Optima has a track record and higher CCA then stock or duralast, so fuck why not?

Pros & Cons?
Pro:
>less heat on the surrounding parts - really true?
>hotter exhaust gasses make more power
>cooler intake air = more power
Con:
>Turbo becomes hotter - could this kill my turbo?
Just thinking about this I'd say it makes sense if you also install heat shielding for the intake and also install an oil cooler - if the car doesn't have one already.
Am I missing anything? What's your opinion?

Heat shields are generally better, I've seen turbos stay red hot after hard running for up to 10min under a blanket- which will cause oil to pool and burn in some types

>turbo blanket meme
This shit only makes a difference in the most demanding cases (think 80s 24 H of Le Mans)

Would the downpipe and the rest of the exhaust system become considerably hotter?
I read that on turbo engines it's not a good idea to wrap the manifold in heat shielding tape. Why? And does this include the downpipe?

MFW bought a Audi A4 3.0 TDI Quattro. Week after the deal car starts acting up. Injectors needed to be replaced. Cost me 2000 euros. fastforward 3 months - car still not working propertly.
Looks like i need a new block because the cylinders are ruined with lines in them.
Need more 2000 euros for a new used engine or need to restore the old one which would be more pricey.
MFW I make 1000 euros a month.

You dun goofed. Should've had a 10k emergency fund before buying this car.

that's what you get for overreaching your budget and not having the car inspected beforehand

OP here. I know I fucked up but I got what I wanted. S-line and a full package.
It will take some time to make it run again but I will do it.

Hey /o/. I have a Chrysler 300. I was attracted to it's flashy looks and 5.7l motor back when I bought it, kind of on impulse (pic related).
Now my evaporator core went to shit (among other things), and frankly I'm sick of it. So after I get it fixed I'm going to trade it in.
I'm a realtor, so I drive around all day, every day, so maybe I'm more conscience of mileage this time around.
Trying to stick under 30k, new.
What do I buy?

Im looking to for a car that is fun, somewhat economical and that I can daily drive without big bills.
Mx-5 or Abarth 500
Which of these two would most suit these criteria?

The MX-5 is an actual driving oriented roadster. The Abarth is a glorified city car for people who also like sporty looking sneakers.
