Holy shit are you a time traveler?

Direct + port injection. Ask Toyota.
Or Subaru since Toyota taught them

>>14186823
port injection is best. direct injection complicates the engine a lot for a small gain.

I have tint that looks illegal because of my black interior, but I always but my windows down if I get pulled over so they really don't notice, but I have been asked about it before, never ticketed

How about you google it dumbcunt.

Tint laws differ from country to country. But tell you what, since you're a dumbfuck enough: yes and its a $250 fine

>>14186701
depends on the cop and your state

if their just trying to meet their quota, you bet your ass they will

I puked a bit just from a glance at that picture.

Living in eastern Europe it's the only car you ever see.

But if everyone ridin' it, it have to be good enough, right? At least better than matiz

>>14186877
I don't know, we used to import them from the Germans when they were like 20 years old which was good enough for us.
It's the European version of the shit box, easy to fix and simple to maintain.
If you get a good one, you'll like it (not in that colour for God's sake).

I've been driven in it, but was lucky to spend my childhood in an Opel Ascona and a Mercedes 190D.

3rd gens aren't as bad as the 4th gens to work on. You actually have a decent amount of room.

With a big boat

Canada

>>14186146
have some one in japan sell it to some one in canada and then have them drive it over and sell it to you

Because they no wut they got eh?

Because Canada be drivin in salt.

And Canada be drivin in ice

Which means salt and ice Rahway

Now Rudy get your education

Get it on that rust

When rust come it don't go

And oceans salt and water and ice and salt mix. And melt. And stay. And rust.

And the pizza is in kilometres a hour there. Not mile per hour

Op is a idiot

>>14185931
Because Canadians get the same cars you do...

There's nothing special to bring over the borded unless you're a big fan of rust. Can you import from Japan to Canada (15yrs rule), then bring it to USA without the 25yr rule applying?

Still faster than a Miata

Its styling looks like a subdued attempt to hearken back to the sedans of the 1930's.

>>14185376
Get new radiator
That shit will fuck your matrix, thermostat, pump etc.
It ain't worth it m80 88e

>>14185406
The pellet kind will. The liquid kind is ok, I've heard.
But either way, that leak sounds serious. I don't think any amount of stop leak will fix it.

Keep using that shit and say goodbye to your heater core faggots.

>>14185128
Depends on the model. Older ones aren't really any worse than other cars from the same era, newer ones tend to be kinda overcomplicated to fucking impossible to work on.

Probably. But once you master them you can work on a broad selection of brands e.g. VW, Skoda, Seat and Bentleys

Nothing wrong with Ford m8.

You look after a Ford, it'll look after you. All that shit about reliability is nonsense.

I've only used a newer Fiesta as a rental car, but it was probably the worst car I've driven. It was an SE, with the 1.6L NA engine and dual clutch auto. The engine was fine I suppose, but the transmission felt like it was going to break at any moment. Really rough, lurching acceleration whenever you started from a stop or tried to accelerate quickly. The interior layout isn't my favorite, and the passenger has like no leg room. The center console intrudes a lot into their footwell.

I'm sure the 1.0L Ecoboost and a manual transmission would solve a lot of the problems I had with the car.

What Ford shills get paid to beleive

It's time for me to replace my brake pads and I was wondering what you fags thought. I am trying to decide between EBC Green Stuff ($128) and Hawk HPS ($137). Also I will be replacing my fluid with Motul RBF 600 ($19) and having my rotors turned/resurfaced. My car is a daily driver that I autocross a couple of times a year. The cost difference for a full set of pads isn't really that much so I am asking for your experiences, opinions, and anecdotal evidence.

ITT opinions of what works best on their specific caliper, rotor, car weight, and driving habits.

>inb4 "hawk hps and motul rbf660 cuz i heard it online"

you really did it this time op

>>14184022
I have been doing some more reading and it seams I should also consider the Stoptech street performance brake pads ($106).

>>14183357
no

Why? It's a nice little car.

get fiesta u niggnog

>5S-FE
>156hp

nah

Also the LSD on the turbo is a VLSD so by now pretty much none of them do anything so don't feel too bad.

>you started in an automatic and didn't learn stick until you were 21
>everyone who was smart enough to enjoy driving from the start has a 5 year lead on you

Tell me /o/, how long does it take for me to become fast?

Go get a law or engineering degree or something and make some bank instead of feeling bad for yourself

>backmarkers and money
They probably have more money than the front runners. The backmarkers are pay drivers. It's the midpack who's making shit for money. Sponsored driver, but not big time enough to reel in the money.

>seeing races
Maybe you should make an effort to travel, you sad shit sack. America has loads of top level racing to watch in many disciplines. Laguna Seca, Sebring, 24h Daytona, Le Mans, Spa, and more are all easily accessible tracks.
