I mean fuck.
Go to www.cars.com, press go and find out what you have near you.
Why the fuck am I typing things that you might not even have in the area?

>>14040975
install LS3 in the front.
Put 500lbs of weights in the trunk

boom, 2014 camaro.

>Literally spell everything out, I know only just slightly more than a rock about cars

Save up $100k and have a performance shop do the work.

>>14040984
Is it that bad?

>>14041000
$5,000 car.
$12,000 at most engine.

Would it really cost 100G's? I see like, 25 at most.

upgraded/properly sized intercoolers are a big benefit. and no, you wont have to tune it. The onboard software will compensate for it because it wont take you that far out of stock parameters. And no, it wont give you a hp boost. but yes, it will help with heat soak if they are too tiny from factory.

>>14040420
They help with heat soak but offer.no gains without tuning. If I were you I'd get an accessport or an exhaust before upgrading the intercooler.

Not sure if the 2.3 is anything like the 1.6 but the Fiesta also has oil heat issues.

>>14040420
>aftermarket CAIs are basically snake oil
This isn't true. A CAI can provide benefits if the airbox is restrictive and sucking in hot air from the engine bay. A CAI isn't going to fix an intercooler that's getting heatsoaked. It might help if the stock intake is pulling in hot air from the bay.

Also lol at people thinking a modern vehicle needs a "tune" for a CAI or SRI.

>>14039460
get a garage

>>14039460
go karts/small motorcycles and rent out a storage space that has electricity. you need money

>>14039460
Yeah... if you're trying to do this on your own without a private space to keep the car and it's parts (AKA a garage) you're fucked.

Second best bet is to try and "intern" at some repair shops, just go to the nearest legit shop that's not corporate run and talk with the owner, see if he'll let you come over and take a look at how they do things in your free time, do this enough, involve yourself a bit with simple repairs while watching how the big jobs get done.

Yes.
Yes.

If it's recommended then just buy regular, if it's required then you're a retard not to buy it.

>>14039372
yes
yes

the unicorns require it

>>14039372

The lowest octane rating you can get in my country is 95. Cars requirement is 95 octanes, although im not sure. I would have to check the owners manual.

>>14039326

do you have a car now, anon? you want a project ride?

>>14039326
You're not going to get many cars on just registration fees alone.

If it don't start then you'd still come out ahead on scrap value.

>>14039385
I have a dd, I want a project car though

Dont leave me hanging /o/

post your car so we can all laugh at you

All this touting about the GT-R is still just halo car bullshit too anyway.
Kind of a fucking shame.

There are no mid play cars.
Back then every fucking nissan had a turbo option.
Now it's.
CVT or fuck you.

/o/ doesn't care. Nissan is the second coming of Jesus because it made a car that can beat a car which costs half as much around a race track.

Yes it is, they put all their money into their one trick pony, and as a result, screwed over people who aren't rich by abolishing their Z line after a decade long pitiful existence and refusing to produce another cheap sports car, something Subaru and Mazda at the very least obliged.

>>14037998
because this car is hand made by niggers in Detroit which is the equivalent of German jet fighters being made by Jews in a labor camp.

>>14037998
>And more importantly, why is it selling so poorly that it'll be cancelled next year?

Because people who could afford them don't want them and people who want them can't afford them.

Also, it's because while the aero isn't active and the suspension isn't magride, the aero is still horrifyingly effective at providing useful downforce and the suspension is fully adjustable from the factory and extremely well designed.

memes aside how would a light rwd compare to a FWD counterpart. If you were to put an 86 vs the new type r for example would the 86 have an edge due to the inherent performance orientated nature of the RWD platform?

>>14034620
The modern 86 isn't really set up all that well off the showroom floor, and the modern Type R is extremely well set up. It'd be no contest, Type R winning.

>>14034620
The new type r is an outlier that we do not include in these debates.
Especially in the poor fag price range

well the fact is cars are more agressive these days by thier nature. A economy today would give a sports car of the 80's and 90's a run for it's money on the track. Fuck my 2014 accord would be able to eat an r32 and that was the top jap car of the time

I don't do this, but I do key cars parked in 2+ spots any chance I get. Usually ends up being double parked mustangs, corvettes, hellcats, and subarus.

>>14033484
Called the cops once on a dog trapped inside a hot car, crying. I was young and too beta to break the window of someone else's property to release the dog, so i just waited for police to arrive

bump by a Latvian supreme gentleman
was actually planning the same

>>14042696
I've done the trip a few times. Not in a rented vehicle though.
I believe the camaro has more room.
I'm not personally aware of how renting a car goes. I know there's weeks based contracts, but I also believe you have to pay for miles or something. But being over 25 really helps, something about the magic age of 25 makes things cheaper, but do put the oldest as the primary. And DO buy the insurance.

When I did it, it was always on a small budget. About $800. Covered gas and some decent food and loads of red bull.

Idk if the camaro or mustang is the best choice for a road trip, but I assume you plan on some hooning.

I also slept in my vehicles so I didn't pay for hotels. I know you can get some really cheap ones for like $20/night, but they're sketchy.
Something you could do is bring camping gear so you can set up somewhere instead of a hotel.
And idk what exactly you'd want to do, so I don't know what you'd be spending on.
But 8k should make for a decent, but not the greatest trip.

My friends and I have been wanting to do this for some time, but we plan to bring about 5k each. So a total of 20k. This is in a like 5-8 year plan though.

If I were you I would shoot for like $10k.

That should be enough. I did it back with my girl at the time and we did almost two months of travel in a v8 ford conversion van. Of course we lived like peasants and slept in the van most of the time. I wouldn't recommend that, you'd be surprised how cranky you get when you never get a proper shower and sleep in Wal-marts all the time.
