What now, /o/?
I have thrown >$700 into my 2001 Integra LS in the last few months and now the compressor and head gasket have failed simultaneously.
At 230,000 miles, it's not worth it anymore.
This is the only car I've ever known and I love it.
Will probably trade in to dealership; what 2015-16 car would /o/ recommend?

why do these things cost so much money?
one with 200k miles, a shit load of rust, and tons of terrible modifications is at least $5000 by me, and they all sell within a day or two.
why do people willingly pay so much for a 15 year old non-turbo subaru impreza?

I want to lift my car with the stock trapezoid lift to put the car on a jack.
If i lift the car on the recommended lifting point then i can't put the jack stand on the recommended point.
What should i do?
I only have that shitty trapezoid lift and a pair of jacks.

Find the service manual for your car. It will point out all the the jacking/stand points. Generally, you could jack it up at the front or rear point, and then place the jack stands where you would normally place the jack to lift the car.

>>15455393
You mean if i want to lift the front of the car for an oil change i can start lifting it up by the rear jacking point with the "stock" trapezoid lift, then the whole side of the car will raise up high enough that i can put the jack under the front jacking point?

Why did car design stop changing as fast as it used to? A mid 80s box would already look outdated by the mid 90s but this 20 year old car doesn't even look that different from what we have now

Yes, it does.

Is it bad that I like the '96 civic more? I don't like all of those modern design cues, they just look kind of cheesy. 1990s cars were basic and nobody tried to make a cheap sedan look "cool" for no reason

So /o/, did I do good or bad? 1978 Ford Bronco I picked up for $2500. 400M engine, 4 speed trans granny gear, 4WD. I picked it up and immediately drove it an hour and a half on the highway home, ran pretty smooth. Needs bumpers, and window regulators to start. Interior needs some love, a lot of it is in boxes in the back.
Im looking to keep it and somewhat restore, but I figure I can slap the interior back together and fix a lot of the little annoying stuff and at least get my money back out of it if I had to.

That is the exact generation of Bronco I want, with the exact engine and gearbox combination I'd want it with. Love the Louiville truck inspired hexagonal grill in those.
You did good.
Would love to see it taken back to what ever factory colour is on the plate.

I just received my parents 2011 Toyota yaris sedan as my mother doesn't drive anymore.
im loving this this but is there anything fun I can do to make it a bit more cooler?
think it's worth putting roof rails, new set of wheels and maybe lowering it a bit?

first question.
country?
second question:
automatic or manual?
Third question.
Which engine (1.3L? 1.5L? petrol? Diesel?)
I have a whole bunch of links saved for the aftermarket of them but I need those questions answered first.
>>
>>15455054
Estonia.
Dunno what engine, but its a petrol auto.

Recently purchased a Saab 9-3 and looking to install a sound system, as the radio kinda sucks,a single CD is stuck inside and I have no AUX input.
The biggest problem is that the head unit isn't a rectangular shape like what I would upgrade to, leaving alot of empty space around the new head unit.Would I need to contact a fucking plastics company or something to get a new face plate frame?
Not to mention the entire dash is sealed comfortably and I can't really find anywhere I would stick a flathead into to pop it out. Should I just take it into a car/audio place or can I do it myself?
I'm also getting conflicting information from my dumb friends about what to install exactly.
>Don't buy an amp, most subs have one already
>Don't buy a sub, it weighs down your car
>Just upgrade door and rear speakers and head unit
>Buy an amp and sub, and nothing else
What are some /o/ approved brands and cost effective pieces?
Budget $400-$800

I can tell you from my own experience that changing the headunit has an insane influence on audio quality. I myself recommend Pioneer. Had one for about 12 years in previous car and just installed a new one in my current car. The speakers in my E36 are stock 13cm Nokias. The jump in quality from OEM to a Sony headunit was nice already, but the jump in quality from Sony to Pioneer was absolutely fucking insane. I was considering changing my speakers but now I don't. I couldn't believe how much better the audio got. Yes I shill Pioneer but for a good reason.
>>
>>15454883
This is the headunit in my car. The problem is that it's not in a perfect rectangle like yours.
Which headunit do you use? I'm pretty set on a Pioneer from what i've heard

People probably said the same thing 25 years ago. You're an idiot if you don't think cars are going to get more and more power.

Try 5 years. America is constantly adapting and consuming new tech that comes with the lightning quick innovation seen in the automobile industry.
FiSTs are already cheap enough for the average man. In 10 years they'll be yesterday's shithatches.

I dunno man you can already get around 300hp by putting in a bigger turbo and a better intercooler.
