unless youre getting a viper just don't

I want a 2008 srt 8 so bad. Never even seen one

Stiffer front springs seems like the only thing to do

>>15439032
bad front shocks?
beside the actual weight of the car

>>15439037
I'd hate to mess with that. I can't find anything on the Internet about other people complaining about it in her particular model (Range Rover Sport 2016, pic is the SVR, she just has the v6 one)

>>15439039
Nah it's a new car. Yeah the thing weighs over 5,000-lbs. It's heavy as shit. That's probably the main problem.

the i3 starts from 40k I think. And its not even the cheapest EV

>>15438992
Are you implying that's cheap?

Look at the price of a comparable petrol car.

>>15438996
What about the Nissan leaf?

I should know some more but surely someone else would help. the white thing could be a prelude to a nightmare or an afternoon and some cheap parts. stay away anyhow, even though hondas are usually cool.

>>15438978
The guy told me to bring a mechanic (wtf?). So should I call a dealership ahead of time to arrange an inspection with a certified mechanic?

>>15438914
Don't buy a shitbox that old from a dealer. Post your local Craigslist. Can you spend any more than 4k?

>What is the cheapest car insurance for someone in high school?

Minivan. If you want to buy something in high school with two doors you're gonna get fucked by insurance.

Ford Escort

not bullshitting you

downforce dumbass

>>15438319
this, and the vertical surfaces fight to keep the cars pointed straight

At the speeds drift cars go they have to either not bother with aero or go whole-hog with it so they can get the downforce at relatively low speeds.
If nothing else, I'd imagine the aero helps stability.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

>reusable
>oil filter

>>15438204
I don't have one. Just wondering if giving $140 is worth the usual $5-$20 on a shit to good filter.

You can reuse a regular oil filter. Just wash it out and let it dry. I havent changed my oil filter on my car since I got it and it has about 230k miles on it. Runs like a champ.

No, it was a quart low Sunday so I'm waiting till Friday to see how much I lose to blowby in a week.

i only work on my car if something breaks

realistically, the car needs an overhaul but i drive it anyway

>>15438045

1st for MR2 a best Toyota

In short, it loves to rev and there’s a noticeable jump in power delivery when the VVTL-I seems to kick in at around 6000rpm and other engines are about to give up. It is exhilarating to drive this way, and there’s plenty of frenetic but not unpleasant engine noise as accompaniment.

The downside is the engine feels a bit peaky without a lot of pulling power at lower revs, but the close-ratio gearbox does a good job of keeping everything on the boil. Toyota claims the Sportivo will hit 100km/h in 8.4 seconds and cover 400 metres from standstill in 16.1 sec.

The pizza delivery guy who's been delivering pizzas to us for over 20 years said he would never buy another type of car because they're so reliable. He just bought a new Corolla.

Bump for interest

>>15437430

Good cars, only issues are weak cooling systems and rust.

Automatic gearboxes will give issues if the fluid isn't changed, but that's really is outside of wear and tear.

Not sure where you are in the world, but some Americans say parts are expensive there. I am in Europe and they are very cheap and everywhere.

>>15437509
I am in Bulgaria.
The car is manual. Driver seat is ragged but everything else looks good on the pictures
