Yeah that's a shame.

well, it's a much needed change, for better or worse. i'm tired of looking at the same design for the past 2 decades.

Oh, fuck that. Bentley hasn't changed the Continental GT in fifteen years. Don't mess with perfection.

>old mexican guy tells me it's a smog pump
>can't order it until tomorrow? Will arrive tomorrow afternoon, fuck that.
>old mexican says to just remove the pulley, get a shorter belt and re route.
>do exactly that, which means removing alternator again to replace belt
>cute waitresses from restaurant in same parking lot as my store come outside since their closed
>engage autism mode because ashamed of my shitbox leaving me stranded in shorts and flip flops
>try to drive across street to finish work their out of sight
>car door latch stuck closed, can't close door
>fix right there in parking lot

All in all I installed the alternator like 50 times, drove without power steering, fixed that, fixed a door latch, all just because I wanted my phone charger.

Installed a manifold from a vtec d16 onto my not vtec engine today. Cut the wiring shielding down a bit to make the wires reach the sensors on the throttle body in their new location, and also ran new hoses from various places for coolant and vac. That's not the rigged part.

Nobody had a gasket for it so I used silicone gasket maker. The middle bottom nut on the intake is impossible to reach and tighten (unless one of you has a trick?) soooo there's not one now. For the throttle I basically bent the shit out of the y8 bracket and looped the cable around a bolt since it was too long. This still only yielded me 75% throttle because of the angle that the cable is at. Intake temp sensor is unplugged right now so the computer reads the intake temp as 188 degrees Centigrade right now... don't know exactly how that is affecting things. Another thing that worries me is that my "LOAD PCT" as my scanner calls it is always at 88% now. I'll get an intake put together and that sensor hooked back up and see if anything changes before I worry though.

>he bought a fwd civic

>>15212648
it was $900 and manual

what else could I possibly need

>>15212648
as opposed to what, a rwd civic dumb furfag?

>>15212101
at least its not FWD, that makes them both good

Blobeye, easily. Between the Blobeye and the Hawkeye it might be a toss up, but the Bugeye is definitely the least attractive.

>>15212101
bugeye.

Wot? Kys

I have a pair, OP. They've never fallen off and I think they look great. I used a combination of gorilla glue and silicon weather sealant to make sure they stick. Good luck and don't listen to the haters!

2015+ WRX is a better vehicle but the ST is nice if you don't live up north.

>>15212108
That's an RS dingus.

I pretty much only like baron Von Grumble. his ex is p hot too

>>15211780

They are all man children with severe ADD. And to answer your question I don't really have a favorite. I do like that australian guy that rode that 4 cylinder honda that one time. I think he has a S1000RR, can't remember his name though.

>women

Thermostat maybe, if it's popping too soon it'll kill mpg and emissions.

Idk if your state does those though.

sounds like your standard case of "driver is an incompetent retard"

solve by learning how to drive, or with 45 cal aspirin.

oh, also. I don't drive crazy. and my 60k is almost near.

Love how extremely wide the rear window is so no dumbass can speed into my blindspot

>>15211576
I believe that is a '94-98 Cutlass. No idea how it is, probsbly plusher than your dog after a long day at work

>>15211576
It's an Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme sedan. They were built from 1990-1997. Engine options were a 140 HP 3.1L MPFI V6, a 160 HP 3100 V6, or a 200-215 HP 3.4L DOHC V6.

>>15211546
get the 6 speed tiger shark turbo one.
they get good mpgs with good styling and horsepower too

>>15211546
Me and the wife test drove a gt model. While it was loaded to gills with tech and handled decently, the acceleration left something to be desired. Needs more power, less weight or both.

>>15211560
I'm looking but it doesn't seem like I can find one like that in my area. Gonna look a bit harder here. Thanks though.
