Ok, so here's what I'm thinking.
Every general area (US, Europe, Asia) has a list of cars that are big heros, big names that are the best that nation can provide, known worldwide for their performance, Viper, SLS AMG, GT-R. And a local hero, one that amidst a low point of heavy regulations or taxation of that area still was very much so able to be the best that it can be, if only for what would suit their local market's desires best.
For example, for the US we have the Corvette and Mustang. There are more but let's just list these two for now. Everybody loves the Vette and the Stang. Big performers that play a big game with the big boys and soforth. Compared to big name vehicles of other countries.
But we also have our local hero, even if past their time nowadays, of the Grand National and Mustang SVO, which during the malaise era signaled the return of horsepower to America. However, outside of our regulatory and cultural boundaries they would have been shunned because it did not fit their regulations or culture, for example issues with handling, displacement taxes, size, and the like would have arisen.
Would anybody else agree?
Would a Suzuki Cappuccino be an example of a local hero for Japan? It was sporty enough to be fun while fitting into the kei category to keep it affordable and under the heavy size and displacement taxes, however it'd be too weak and small for Europe who's restrictions weren't as bad, and in America it would be considered uncomfortably cramped and painfully gutless.
Dammit guys, shitpost thread max out but I don't get shit. The hell?
I'm not giving up on my thread.
Hey /o/ I have a problem. I have an 02 wrx and I can't pump gas into it full throttle. I have to barely trickle it in or else it bubbles up like it's filled. The research I did said if that's the issue its the evap purge solenoid but I don't have a cel and the ones I looked at did. Thoughts? Pic unrelated

Maybe it's clogged. This happened to me once turns out the owner of the car broke off a nozzle into it.

So i'm thinking about pulling the plug on these style 224's painted metallic gunmetal grey. Would they look good on my space grey e92 or not be dark enough? If I buy these i'm throwing pilot super sports on immediately with them. Just wanted a second opinion before I pull the trigger
Cmon post a picture of your cars color too. In similar lighting if possible
Here's my car. If there are any photoshop wizards out there i'd greatly appreciate it
Are Koenigsegg and Pagani the only supercar companies that have retained their souls?
>>14669408
Yes.
>>14669408
Koenigsegg and Pagani have no prestige or soul.
Way to swallow the pill in the apple sauce of marketing, sheeple.

Being contrarian for the sake of it is not funny, anon. You need to try harder.

You guys begun your summer projects yet? Currently rebuilding a head to swap on my 1990 miata. Gonna go the remote oil filter/cooler route as well.
Projects/maintenance thread!
Summer is for driving, winter is where its at to get things done!
Spring project because I want to drive it in the summer, but it's just about ready to go. Previous owners got it most of the way done, and I've just been finishing up small things, but once I get the carbs tuned and the air cleaners arrive from Sweden she'll be good to go.
HLAs all cleaned up and sitting in oil. They were completely seized up but sitting after sitting overnight in solvent and having been wiped clean ther are supple and springy once more.

It also shows in the fact that I never post here anymore, real life stuff has taken precedence over both my car and /hg/
I at least need to wash my car, I owe it that much. I've put over a thousand miles on her in the past 10 days and it has taken it like a champ.
What kinds of cars do fat SJW trannies drive? Looking for confirmed cars only. Pic related.

Saw some dukes driving around in a smart car today
My fat sister drives a 2007 v6 automatic mustang. It even matches her boycut red-dyed hair. She's "pansexual", loves bernie, has been to the hospital twice for pretending to be so triggered that she had seizures (which the docs couldn't prove were real), and wont respond to me because I dont use "gender neutral pronouns". After all this she still claims to somehow be fully fledged christian. I'm pretty sure that counts as confirmed.

Guys I want to start a car project with my two mates.
We're all 18, and the aim is to buy something really crap and eventually work our way up to a sleeper.
Any suggestions? (Budget is <£1000 to buy the car itself)
>>14668362
buy a shit heap miata and do a junkyard turbo build. You'll be smoking GT mustangs quickly
