Why is this acceptable to you guys? I always hear people beating off over jap shitboxes here but I don't know how any of you can handle driving one of these things. I drove my dad's civic today and it was pig disgusting.
What the fuck is so hard about adding a few extra bits of sound dampening? I know they can do it because Acuras are perfectly fine.
Even if you're poor this shit is retarded and unacceptable.

I've been told this section is helpful, and not full of edgy /b/fags so im interested to see if thats true. I've also been told its full of ricers so pls no ricer advice

Anyways, my dad loves the Mercedes Cl600 (pic related) but hes put about 200k miles on it and is looking for something new. Unfortunately they stopped making new CL600s.

He really likes mercedes and likes the amount of window the CL600 provides, along with the no column between the windows. The CL was replaced with S coupe so we sat in the S coupe and the window is so small and high up we agreed its claustrophobic

I recommended the gt-s (a little bias lol) but again, the windows are just so small compared to the CL, which he loves.

He would have bought the S coupe if it had the CL windows, but it doesnt, and now he has no idea what to buy.

help pls?

What are the widest tires I can put on a 9" rear wheel and an 8" front wheel while still maintaining good drivability? Wheels are going on a twin turbo 335i coupe. 18" diameter if that matters at all.

I know this has to be rust, but should I bite the bullet ? Could I have some info on costs of repairs depending on the degree of the infestation ?

Take the retarded fanbase out of the equation for a second (We all know they can't afford one anyway and all they are is bench racers) and answer why you would not appreciate this?

From a technological standpoint it's fucking brilliant, for a price/performance standpoint it's outdone itself and it's the next step in a long and awesome history.

There's really nothing to hate on, it's good at what it sets out to do and if you get rustled by 1 of these, it's only because you let the retarded bench racers who don't even own one get to you.

Anyone who owns one knows it has limitations, they know it's not the most luxurious, but they still enjoy it because it's an amazing car and they find it fun.

I know i wouldn't talk shit to every 86/brz owner just because they have a deluded fanbase, it's still a cool car for what it sets out to do. Not the best, but if you're listening to anyone deluded about their car's limitations, you got baited.

>Unlike the GT-R's exhaust-manifold-integrated turbos, the new VR's turbos bolt directly to the cylinder heads.

what does this mean? does it mean the exhaust mainfold is integrated to the head?
