I am in the market for both as they have similar prices in my country.

One has the looks and the racing pedigree of the ///M badge

The other one gave us the r35 gt-r and is probably more reliable as it's an econobox derivative

Which fucking one /o/

If you like drifts and skids, the m3. If you like carving corners the skyline. Rwd will always have that fun factor of sliding which awd can't do.

GTR. They're sikk and far more children are going to be amazed by the brilliance of a skyline GTR. I know I was. I think I was about 8 or 9 when I saw this beastly R32 scream by me while I was walking down the street. I distinctly remember seeing the words S K Y L I N E on the back of the car. I went home after and researched them and found out all kinds of stuff about cars.
>>
>>14943531
Yeah but that's the thing, kids like em. Without fast and furious I doubt anybody would even know what they were. Talk to any auto enthusiast and the ///M3 would be one of the first things to come to mind, especially if they are into professional racing

Hit a deer on a motorcycle a couple years back. Can't say I would want to do it again.

I work in management for a large 3PL carrier in the midwest and I file safety reports for quite a few deer strikes. I estimate roughly 90% of them occur on I-90 between tomah and beloit. last week driver observed 3 standing in the road as he drove over a crest. Small buck ran in front of him and took a semi at 61 mph to the face.

After being in 2 car accidents due to deer, I bought an AR-10 (and a black powder rifle for BP season), learned to shoot, learned to dress a deer, and now I'm getting a hunting license to help thin these fuckers out.

What is a better car is /O opinion a 2009 Honda Civic or a 2011 Ford focus. Civic has 111,000Km on it. the focus has 128,000 Km on it. They are both the same price at $8000?

The Focus is a better car for sure. Unless the Civic is an Si model, than Focus.

Hi, /o/.

I daily drive a 1994 Honda Civic LX, 1.5L I4 (D15B7 engine).

I live in California and with smog in mind, what all can I realistically do to improve the performance of the car?
53 posts and 3 images submitted.
>>
Leave it alone. There is nothing worth doing for it that would perceptively improve it.
>>
Yikes. Alright there is no way to sugar coat this. If you want to make this thing fast you are going to need to lose all your dignity. Strip out the headliner, the dash, the rear seats, the carpet, the a/c, and the power steering ( if it even fucking has it).

Next you're going to have to pull off some really weird frankenstein shit where you put a sohc vtec head on your engine and use d16z6 pistons for increased compression. Buy a piggyback ecu tuner secondhand off craigslist and set it to a questionably safe air/fuel ratio. With all this you will be making a cool 140 hp and accelerating in 7.3 seconds away from the sonic meet because you heard cops were coming.

If you want to go legal you are fucked. You can save up a few grand and drop a b18 in your car from wrecked integra. That's about it. You could get a nice integra engine and have a pretty fun car but that's stretching it.

Ebay turbo kit
Sell the turbo and buy a smaller precision/garrett
Get it tuned with a 3 bar map at 10-12 psi
Keep stock exhaust.
When it comes time to get inspected, take off the tarbo+header, put the stock one back on and slap a k&n on the turbo intake outlet pipe
Cop a stock civic ecu
Throw that in there
Get it smogged and inspected
Go home and put the tarbo+ecu back in

Hi /o/, I don't lurk this boatd very often so I'm not sure if there are many Harley guys here, but I'm looking at a few Sportsters on CL and was just wondering if there is anything I should be on the lookout for/avoid. All the ones I'm looking at are 1200s from the 2000s, mileages ranging from 3k to 19k. Harley thread as well. Post your hogs!

Yeah, harley a shit.

You're welcome.

One has Vance & Hines exhaust, the rest have SE or stock. Which is considered the better kit? I've only owned jap bikes so I'm not too versed in Harley hardware.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

I finally did it /o/. I bought a 2014 frs stock with 20k miles for 21k and the guy who sold it to me said if I ever needed repairs he would give me 10% off. This car is fast as fuck and im glad you guys recommended it to me. Did I do good /o/?

Last Monday I signed with a local dealership to buy a new car for the first time (I was going to buy used but my family came into a lot of money and insist I buy new). They said it would be ready to pick up Friday. Wednesday I get a call saying they ordered the wrong car and had given me a cheaper price for it. I came in that day and talked them down closer to the original deal but couldn't get it all the way.

They said they'd call Monday to let me know when the new car would be in, but I never heard anything. I need to know what day to pick it up so I can finish applying for car insurance. I called twice today before getting a call back a few minutes before they closed only to get "It'll be in by the end of the week." "So Friday?" "Yeah, end of the week. Thanks." Click.

Am I right to be annoyed about this? I'm thinking of calling them tomorrow and just cancelling the deal. Is that possible? Do I just call and tell them I'm done, thanks for wasting my time? I don't know anything about cars. The next nearest dealership is an hour away!

fuck yeah man if they're dicking you around tell them to kick rocks. they need you to buy a car from them, you don't need to buy a car from them. tell them to fuck off and that (competing dealer) gave you a better deal. hell, go into (competing dealer), tell them the story, and i guarantee they'll bend over backwards for you.
>>
Bait and switch is illegal. Should have told them you're paying the price you'd agreed on originally or they can take the car and fuck off.

Also you're getting fucked around. Car probably won't be ready till the next week.

I think I may just do that. The problem is my wife really wants this car and I don't want to disappoint her (I don't care what car we get, it's just a tool to me), but I can't let them push me around.

I don't let things make me angry very often but this is kind of getting to me. I feel like I didn't even get that good a deal in the first place but was willing to let it slide to get this car quick. Now it's been two weeks and still no car.

its fantastic for what it is, but people love to hate it because of its pop culture status.

personally I wouldnt own one because of all the memes.
