General LS swap thread.

Also, i have a question for some americans who might know more than me.

I've got a NA supra lying about that i got for free and a couple of LS parts as well.

I've always wanted to build my own engine, so i plan on building the LS anyway, but i was considering dropping it into the supra because...

>The NA engine sucks
>Apart from that the car has a near perfect weight distribution and a 0.95g skidpad rating
>I already have it laying about, might as well put it to use

But i've never done an engine swap before, so does anyone know if putting in the supra will throw out it's really good handling? Are there fixes for this? Does it change the center of gravity?

IIRC an aluminum LS is lighter than the stock engine, but a cheap LS will be a truck iron block. Not sure how much that weighs.
>>
It should change the weight distribution for the better, as the original engine is a fucking boat anchor and the LS is aluminum.

2JZ was a fat as fuck so you'll probably be fine.

Idk, I like 90s Toyota interiors because they are all very tidy, and relatively well made. Kia Forte's center console seems a bit too plasticky and cheap for me, but hey, that's just my autistic opinion.

Fine, I give in. I'm going to sell my 30k car that I owe 20k on, and buy a beater. Just want to get all my finances in order, and I don't care about impressing anyone anymore (I'm not in college haha). Wanted a 944 really badly, but everyone said hell no. What about a 300zx?

E46 M3, 2008-2010 135i, 996 911, FC3S RX7 would probably all be more interesting than a 944 or 300zx, but are between the $10k-$15k (and more) for decent examples.

X/1000 = y


X= Number of money you want to spend on car

Solve for y amount of corollas you should buy.

>>14749434
If you can find 10k to spend on an E36 M3 you can get something that has been well taken care of.

They are great cars for hammering on and comfy for long trips.

Are you a DIY kind of anon or do you take cars to shops?

It's a great feel since I have no interest in a 40k civic with the most disgusting case of factory rice I've ever seen.

Just think of the god machine 40k could get you and just how much it would grind an econobox civic into pie crust.

Hi /o/,

I am considering getting a brush guard for my 2011 Ford Ranger. The main reason I want to get one is because I have been paranoid about damaging vehicles in a deer collision ever since I smoked one with my mom's Challenger when I was in high school. Basically, I'm trying to add a bit more protection to my truck. Also, over christmas I rode with the Sheriff back home and we ended up hitting a deer with a Ram 2500 that had a guard (all it did was mess up the passenger headlight). So, what is the general consensus on brush guards? In the event of a deer collision, would this help protect the truck or should I put that money elsewhere?

Here is the specific product I am looking at:

Brush guards protect against foliage. The best protection against deer is paranoia at night.
>>
>>14749013
I have one like that on my Dodge Dakota I bought from Carid but mine is a Westin. I got that one because it has one additional crossbar on top middle part.
I think it's worth the $300-$500 cost.
Plus they come pre-drilled for mounting off-road lights. Now I have a 2002 Ford Ranger and I'm probly gonna put a Westin on that too.

>Brush guards protect against foliage.
unless you get a real "grill guard" like the ones made by Ranchhand. I plowed through 3 full size deer at 70 mph all at one once with one of those on my truck and didn't get a scratch.
Unfortunately i can't find a Ranchhand grill guard for a smaller truck like a Dakota or a Ranger.

>>14748807

Hopefully it doesnt get stolen
Hopefully its a real type R

If both of these apply congrats you probably could have bought/built something better with that money but you probably have one of the better fwd cars ever produced.

I guess you did alright if youre into that type of stuff

Me and my ese will be over tonight homie. Hope your insurance covers theft, if not you're pretty fucked.

What do you consider to be the golden age of cars? Style, performance, features, technology and "feel" wise taken at a relative perspective.

I consider the 90s to be the high point. Unnecessary technology wasn't a problem, performance gains were big thanks to tech. On top of that, designers finally learned to make cars look good after a decade of dealing with regulations of the 80s.

If I was rich, if I could collect cars, 90% would be from that era. American, Japanese and Europan.

80s-90s

after 2002 everything just got fucked up but now some cars are coming good i think anything made after 2017 will be a future classic as well.
>>
>>14748071

Feels pretty Need for Speed in here.

But anyways, right now is the golden age of vehicles. You can always buy older cars, but you can't make a future car appear in front of you. Like that old 90s jap box? Buy it. Nothing is stopping you except your poorfaggotry.
