Can someone give me a short lesson on how wet nitrous works?
it injects fuel to keep up with the extra nitrous supply

How does it work exactly?
more oxygen is injected so you can burn more fuel, whichs makes you go faster
nitrous is for cooling

How long can you use it for?
as long as the bottle or ur engine lasts
as the bottle gets empty you will have less pressure, so try to keep it properly filled

How long do bottles last?
depends how much you are injecting

How much do they cost to re-fill?
pretty cheap

Where do I refill them?
anywhere that sells N2O

if you are installing a wet system make sure you do it right or you are going to blow up your intake
also, mad trips when inhaling it


10/10 best form of forced induction would use again

>>15231442
Not the same guy but can u give me a rundown on dry nitrous systems then? I thought the nitrous was the fuel. I was under the impression that the N2O was burning and you did not need to inject more fuel the way you do in say, a Turbo system where the Turbo is adding more air.

>>15231442
How long can you use a bottle for? For what sizes too?

That's a good deal already anon. Those cars are solid if we'll maintained. The cooling system isn't great, so change the water pump and thermostat if they haven't been done before. Also the ball joints in the front suspension might be a bit worn by now so plan on changing those eventually. Other than that, just change all the fluids and it'll be great.

that's a 5 series in your pic not a 328

>>15232101
Sorry for the late reply but I had to investigate and you're right, it is a 528i and it had been mislabeled in the ad. Thank you for that. With it being a 5 series instead of 3 does that introduce any common problems, electrical gremlins, etc? I'm kinda going into this blindly and I don't want to buy it if, should things not pan out, I can't sell it for what I bought it for or slightly more. Thank you guys in advance, I'm going to see it in about an hour.

FUCKING FINALLY! Does this mark the end of the trend of angry constipated cars?
I like the Bolt. I liked the concept, I loved they announced it for production and now I like the face.

The new Volt is happy too.

As do I, Anon.

Be in between

>>15231068
but i'm FF...

stance is EXCESSIVE lowering, and RETARDED offsets and stretched tires.
good handling on a budget:
Mess around with your swaybars (try one on, one off, none on etc), lower your car a little, get stickier tyres.
there are some pretty well prices Coilovers out there for most cars, get some with camber top adjusters for even better handling adjustment.

yep, any civic is worth buying

Yeah
Civics are decent cars by themselves
Si is better if you can get it

>>15231012
>>15231039
Thanks, I just hope I don't get buyer's remorse and wish I had an Si instead. But if the 1.8 feels peppy enough with the 5 speed I really don't give a shit, I'd rather have a manual I can beat on and still get amazing gas mileage.

Police Chief Charlie Beck says the fleet of i3s will save help save taxpayer money in the long run.

"Electric vehicle procurement made sense for taxpayers and for the environment," Beck says. "Every dollar we save from lower maintenance will go back into law enforcement to keep our city safe. And while our new electric cars will be used only for non-emergency purposes, we will continue to monitor and test new generations of vehicles for their potential to serve as patrol cars."

With LA traffic, they don't have to worry about being fast enough. Traffic moves at a crawl all the fucking time.

Apparently the American Tesla cars they tested were way below grade which is why they went with a German company.

>>15230835
New car should mean no issues for several years and you have a warranty otherwise.

I put 75k miles on my car over 3 years and lost less than $5k off of it. Not all cars depreciate at the same rate and if you plan on keeping it for the long term, there's no reason to concern yourself with it's resale value.

>>15230835
Because there isn't a used car factory.

>>15230823
33k since rebuild or in total? I doubt the latter
11k is pricey for an fc without lots of engine work anyway

>>15230823
>33k km 1987

If Jesus himself told me that, I'd tell him to fuck off

>>15230841
I'm trying to find out. The guy only mentioned that it has papers for the k's. But for which I don't know.
>>15230843
That was almost my exact thought.

Get the pebble beach edition

I do like the pearl white/red leather combo there.

IDK, to me the SC kind of says female realtor car...

But that retractable hardtop, mmmmmm.

>>15230822

The Z40 gets a lot of disdain and for legit reasons.

It does a few things alright, though. It is a probably the cheapest most reliable luxury hardtop convertible with a V8 that you can buy.

Also: is spending another $10k on a loaded version with the duramax that much better than a loaded version without the Duramax? I'm not going to be hauling heavy loads, so even the I4 would be fine. I'd prefer the V6 for the extra power, but the most I'm going to be hauling is some motorcycles, my track car, or off-road vehicles.

The thing is going to be my new DD since my back got fucked up recently and I can't daily my MS3 anymore. So I'm turning that into a track car.

>stop liking what i don't like

whats more funny is how their noisy car usually runs really slow even at max throttle, and the quiet no-noise one overtake them effortlessly.

ultimate embarrassment? no?

why would you want to draw attention to yourself in a shitty car?

Unfortunately most people with loud exhausts have them on shit 4cyls, e.g. preludes, lancers, etc, so it sounds bad. Listen to a worked v8 with a stainless exhaust. Sounds epic

Mwee

Why not turbo 20b swap?

>>15230222
Wanting high amounts of torque at low rpm, it just makes street driving nice.

I was originally planning on just buying the 2jz-gte, but the more i read tells me a ls swap could be pretty fucking awesome.

I read that it's lighter, sits further back and further down for better weight distribution.

Infact, the only problem seems to be it makes purists sperg the fuck out.

I personally don't see the problem as the car has no engine right now, it's my duty to pick the better engine, no?

>>15230219
I don't know if this will be much input but i know of a ls3 swapped supra (not personally) here in Australia that is just fucking terrifying.

I've ran into it a few times on the streets and chatted with the bloke once, it's just really fucking tuff. Demolished my 507 walkinshaw package, if that's anything to go by.

Apparently the guy's spent over a hundred grand plus though, he's got full carbon fiber re-panelling and shit.

As a holden lover i think you're dead on mate, do the fucking swap. The engine is the one amazing thing about our cars.

>EG hatch with a few simple mods

BMW 330i
not xi
Or a BMW Z3 clownshoe
Or a 540i
Or a mint E30
Maybe E36 M3

What the fuck is the criteria OP, you're just listing economy cars

>>15229859
my feet are too big to do that in some cars...

fuck off

there are autistics that try to and brake really roughly in traffic.
