People always post these in audio threads
But how do you install one in a car, and how do you mount it?

This is life with an older car anon. This is what you give up to have something cheap.
If $50 ain't much to you why not go around the engine and replace all the sensors. Most likely are not $50 each and that will eliminate this happening again.
Gotta look at old cars like airplanes anon, it is all about preventative maintenance. Fix what you know will go wrong with age before it goes wrong and you cause a traffic jam for the rest of the wagecucks.
Come on anon, don't be a silly goose.

1. What's the best game on PS4 to help you learn to race?
2. Why do you guys think Gran Turismo is 'simcade trash'? I always thought Gran Turismo was supposed to be pretty realistic and that Polyphony strapped sensors and shit to all the cars to get the driving dynamics correct.
I'm getting my first high HP car and I want to practice a bit online and probably even take an advanced driving course or racing course.
>inb4 iRacing. I don't have a gaming PC. Hope to get one someday for iRacing but that is a ways off.
3. Has Project Cars improved? I tried Project Cars shortly after it's launch and I could never get rid of terrible input lag and horrible understeer with the controller. I had thought of getting a wheel and pedals, but I figured the game was fucked. I don't hear anyone talk about this specific game, so I assumed it was a bit of a failure with the gaming community. Please advise.

The people that make Gran Turismo are bus riders and have nearly no idea how cars are supposed to feel. They watch footage of racing and try to make their game duplicate the behavior they see.
>If it looks the same it must feel the same, anon! THIS IS THE ULTIMATE DRIVING STIMULATOR!! :^)
In all honesty OP, you need seat time in a real car. Simulators are no replacement for that. Good on you for wanting to get good.

Have you played his game? He is a fucking moron.
Hey o. I wanna buy an economy car for 5k or less that will last me a few years or a least not turn into a lemon or have any catastrophic failures. I'd also like something that's relatively good on gas. Can this be done? I like everything about the Honda Civic, good mpg, good size, looks comfy. Problem is I've heard the 2000s models have shitty transmissions. Does that mean I avoid the car altogether or try to find a good one? I don't wanna go to a stealership but trying to find a local buy is pretty tough, though I'm willing to travel. Any advice in general for used car buying? I feel like the sticky is getting outdated and doesn't address a lot of the issues with 2000+ model cars.
Sorry about the blog post and thanks in advance.

Define "relatively good on gas" for a list of better options. for 5k there are tons of great deals you can find from private sellers.

sticky was updated last year, what issues do you feel it doesn't address?

>Problem is I've heard the 2000s models have shitty transmissions.
Just get a manual one. Honda manuals are bulletproof.

How much would making a golf that fast cost?
What exactly was done to make that? Engine/Tranny swaps?
I love the idea of zooming past fast cars in something like that.

I smoke a pack a day but never in my car or anywhere inside for that matter. Shit is fucking gross.
Eating I won't unless I'm on long road trips but drinking is fine as long as it's a can or bottle with a top.

I currently drive a wagon I inherited from my parents. I'm a pretty frugal guy but I want to upgrade to something
a) more suitable for the city
b) more fun
c) better fuel economy perhaps
But I can't really decide what to buy. Pic related cheap shitbox (in non sport edition), or double the price for the sport edition

>>15076543
So I guess what I'm saying with this thread is: how did you choose your car from so many disparate options? Or did you just know what you wanted? Did you just coldly see what ticked the most boxes, or did you drive every one and pick the best feels?
