I personally really like Honda S2000's, but like other cars as well. What are /o/'s favorite cars?

s2000's are nice cars
wish they weren't so pricey

I personally prefer a different automotive manufacturer, but you are entitled to your own opinion.
Before you said anything, yes I read the sticky. This post is not against the rules
I am gonna buy my first car and I can afford something 20,000 and under. I want it to be manual, fast and cheapish to maintain (so probably japanese)
So far my list of cars:
Hyundai genesis coupe
Impreza WRX STI
S2000
350z
G35 coupe
Lancer evo
Any I should add or stay away from?

Get a G35. Nothing of value will be lost when you crash it.

>>15229641
None. Shut up and buy a civic. You'll just crash anything powerful.

The land of race car ya-yas.

The land where large, fuzzy dice
Still hang proudly

I've got wheels of polished steel
I've got tires that grab the road
I've got seats that selflessly hold my friends
And a trunk that can carry the heaviest of loads
I've got a mind that can steer me to your house
And a heart that can bring you red flowers
My intentions are good and earnest and true
But under my hood is internal combustion
And Satan is my motor

Stickshifts and safetybelts,
Bucket seats have all got to go.
When we're driving in the car,
It makes my baby seem so far.
I need you here with me,
Not way over in a bucket seat.
I need you to be here with me,
Not way over in a bucket seat.
But when we're driving in my Malibu,
It's easy to get right next to you.
I say, "Baby, scoot over, please."
And then she's right there next to me.
I need you here with me,
Not way over in a bucket seat.
I need you to be here with me,
Not way over in a bucket seat.
Well a lot of good cars are Japanese.
But when we're driving far,
I need my baby,
I need my baby next to me.

You're confusing BMW with VW.
What is a good all arounder boat that is older but still has good reliability.
I want something older (cool factor points)
I want something that can do most everything (fishing, water skiing, flying across the water fast)
I want something reliable (or how much is a new marine v8 swap these days)
What do you think

Refit with two LS1's, it'd only take a weekend.
Sup o/.. Who here knows about stall converters and can answer questions for a complete newbie ???
1- what exactly does it DO? The more I research about it the more I learn about what it's made of, how it works, etc but not much on how it actually affects every day driving.. Does it just improve acceleration but only from a dead stop ? I have been told from someone i know that its really only useful for when you accelerate while holding the brake down so when u release the brake the car can screw off the line... But that doesn't sound right based on the stuff i been reading.
2- besides a stall converter what else are the associated costs/work that needs to be done when installing one ??? Based on reading other pages ive concluded that a transmission cooler is an absolute must.. But what about a shift kit ? is that another necessary add on ? And this im very curious to know... Will a tune need to be done after installing a stall converter ? .
3- what are the risks with adding a stall converter? Will it increase wear on the transmission ? Will it increase likelihood of tranny failure even with a cooler ?
4- last but not least what is the associated total cost with having a professional instal one (with a cooler and all other associated costs) ???
Edit- i know this is a broad question because it requires labor rates, location, etc etc but im just trying to get an idea of how big of a job it is.

1. Improves power handling of a transmission when increasing torque or needing to spool a turbo, hurts gas mileage a tad
2. Transmission fluid will be pumped at a greater rate before locking up causing higher temps, cooler is recommended. A tune will help keep it from gear searching during non-WOT operation.
3. You are modding your car to increase performance, expect some deceased life. This is more dependant on your driving and maintainence habits
4. Figure about $300 - $500 for installation if that's all your doing to the car, not including the part. You failed to provide info on the car.
5. Drive a stick you pussy
>>
>>15229964
'00 trans am .. So 500 labor JUST for the torque converter ? Not including parts ? Damn. I would wanna also add a shift kit and cooler while i have the tech in there
>>
>>15229401
>while i have the tech in there
You will save a ton a money if you do the work yourself. Pulling a transmission is pretty easy, just look at all the retards doing it. If you can follow simple directions, then you can install the shift kit too.

Jay Leno has heard you've been spreading rumours that he has a small dick, and naturally he's pretty pissed off.
He approaches you in a dark alley. He says he is going to gun you down on the spot unless you let him crush your shitbox and never mention his small cock ever again. He then goes on to say that you can buy yourself out of the shitbox crushing if you agree to let Scotty Kilmer move into your house for 6 months.
He continues by saying that Scotty will constantly be in your driveway revving up his engine, doing burnouts in the street, and be up till all hours in the morning recording his videos and answering questions for his viewers on stream. To make the deal sweeter Jay says he will buy you one of any car you like if you choose to let Scotty stay with you. Scotty will maintain this car for you for the duration he is at your home, but he will spit all over the interior and you can never sell this car.
Which path do you choose?

Let's say you have $50 million American dollarydoos to build a racetrack, including getting the land and everything required for it to be suitable for professional racing.
How big of a track can you build?

I'd rather do some 1% magic to turn my money into more money so I could buy a huge plot of land and build a bunch of wangan interstate shit as well as a bunch of initial D mountian pass shit.

easy, approximately 25 miles of track $50 million will net

STOP MAKING THESE THREADS
the answer is no
Hey /o/ just had a quick question. I have a 2002 Jetta with the 150hp 1.8t and it's about as fast as a fucking glacier. I was thinking about getting a turboback exhaust kit, cold air intake, and an ECU upgrade because I could get it all for like $1000 and then I might be able to keep up a 98 civic firing on 1 cylinder.
I'm wondering what your best guess is for how much HP I'll gain from those 3 mods on an otherwise stock engine and how much I'll be able to cut my 0-60 down for the current 3.2 minutes it takes for me to get to highway speed.
>Inb4 just buy a faster car
No I like everything about my Jetta besides the power. Also, should I replace some suspension bits while I'm at it?
Pic related, mfw I lose a race to a stock crown vic.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
NO
NONNONONONOOOOOOOOO
SELL IT AND BUY A FASTER CAR
you will never see any measurable gains unless you spend like 7k
buy a faster car otherwise you will cuck yourself
>>
>>15229206
But the Jetta is my favorite. I just wanna bump it past 200hp, surely it can't be that hard to get another 50 out of this sack of shit.
>>
I'd also like to point out in my self bump that the 03 has 180hp stock. So 200 really can't be that much of a stretch
How fucked am I.
>driving down to work in car I just bought off coworker
>was 1grand
>was told car works fine, been in it before.
>paid for car but didn't transfer title over yet.
>breaks were shifty from the start,like you had to push all the way down for them to work (was a 92 honda)
>go to stop on highway, push down on breaks, they don't respond
>hit guy in front of me, minor damage to his bumper maybe moderate, but this shit happened to what I just bought yesterday.
So the cars not in my name, he has insurance, and old owner has aaa. The breaks didn't respond but they work, which is going to be hard to explain.
Tldr: hit a dude in new car, not in my name yet, it is covered by his aaa, what's going to happen to me/him.

sounds like they didn't bleed the brakes right, or the master cylinder is dying. did you feel resistance on the pedal or did it go right to the floor?
it's his car until you both take care of paperwork to change ownership.
>>
>>15228940
consider it karma for him selling you a shitty car, and call it a day. Use his insurance money to buy a new, better car.
p.s. had it been a civic this would have not happened, let that be a lesson to you.
>>
>>15228956
I'm going with master cylinder the same thing happened to me. I knew it was fucked but I drove on the highway regardless just at 50mph with 4 car spaces in front of me. I went to a friend's house everything was fine, on my way home the master cylinder just took a shit.
Is a slightly used or new 2016 elantra a good choice for a normie's first car compared to the alternatives?

The competitors are ALL better. Even the American cars it competed with (Chevy Cruze, Ford Focus, Dodge Dart.
All these great cars in the class and you choose the one built by people who eat dogs.

Thinking about getting an 08-11 Subaru Forester. Looks sleek, lot of after market I could do to it, the AWD is great, and still has the speed.
What are your thoughts on it?

No manual on the xt unless you swap it. And thats the only forester worth buying.
>>
Where are you from? Here in the U.S. 2008 is the older body style, and the one pictured is 09-13 here.
I used to own an 06 and 09 non-XT. they're not all that great unless you get the XT model or planning on doing a swap. Pre-09 came with manual transmission, post 09 came with auto only.
>>
>>15228707
From the U.S. in CT specifically. AWD is a must, dont mind engine size, but the bigger the better. Not trying to drop a ton of cash, ballpark under 12k. Reliability is a must, want this to be my baby for the next few years.
Thank you for your comment!
