Wtf do you want?
Muh GTR?
>classic
As classic as a jew in israel

Seriously hope you're talking about some Kei car like a Alto, Cappaccino, AZ-1, or Beat, other wise you done diddly goofed.

God forbid you want a real classic like a hakosuka or GASP Toyota 2k, in which case return to the greentext and the bit beneath it

I'm actually looking at an R30.
I'm really really wondering if buying a 4 door is going to make me happy. I'm almost to the point of taking either that or a R31.

I am however interested in bringing an AZ-1 over. Or a Eunos.
But since the R32 has gotten so much light, all skylines have gained in price. Except for 4 door R30s.
Which still have turbos.

the one with the OP in it

why would i ask the car if i know

>what car is this

>>14021667
Just to give you an idea:
You can't change a tire yourself, cause the tire pressure sensor needs to be calibrated with proprietary software.

I've been wondering. What do you think would happen if you just yanked the sensors?

>>14021563
it's not a lolracecar

>>14021563
It's got white tail lights?

>>14021563
They underpowered it. That car might have been popular with boomers if they offered it with a powerful v8 and into some kind of sport truck.

>>14021422
Likely just for show to round out the styling.

Fuck no, just look at that bullshit.

>>14021422
That's how tires look like IN THE FUTURE

A cool one.

Toyota Corolla ke38

>>14021326

Looks like a maaad mini from mighty car mods ! I wonder what mad mods they have put under the bonnet to extract more unicorn farts from the engine-balls haha ! Hopefully miles from the mighty car mods forum and turbo yoda and dose vader from AM auto get onboard and get this car ready to start chopping haha !!

>>14021145
This. Who would want a car that can get body damage from crashing into a guard rail. Honda a shit!

>>14021145
>damage is above the top of the guard rail
how?

>>14021171
Because that guardrail is further away than the car. Think before posting!

Listen to the wife, kek. She seems to know more than you do.

Buy a semi resto mod old wagon

>>14021044
Find a Newport Wagon for maximum practicality. Hell, any bench seat C Body can easily fill the family car role. And you can get a clean Fury for around 3000. That also guarantees you a big block and a comfy suspension.

Weight savings to be fucked over by heated seats and airbags. Whatever.

Generally, when you choose steel you're trading off between strength and ductility. The hardest steels are the martensitic types, but their crystalline structure makes them brittle and prone to cracking when you press or bend them, so they need to be hot pressed. Flash Bainite breaks this rule by delivering a specific strength some 7 percent higher than martensitic steel but staying remarkably bendable to the point where it can be cold pressed into shapes. The quick heating and cooling stages produce a unique mix of fine martensite, bainite and carbides.

In July 2011, US Army tests called it "an extremely energy efficient and environmentally friendly process" and concluded that "the costs to produce Flash Bainite should be extremely reasonable and could enable widespread use for applications requiring very high strength and adequate elongation, ductility, and toughness. Current opportunities for flash bainite include armor and vehicle applications requiring ultra-high strength steels for high specific strength, weight reduction, and high cycle fatigue enhancement."

You should first invest in a keyboard that's not so covered in jizz that it makes you type like a retard.

>>14020993
Do what you want anon.

my father had an 86 suburban all stock. rebuilt it once in the 90's it was reliable through 2015. 4 barrel 350 started first time every time. got 14 MPG too. too bad he sold it for chump change to buy a duramax diesel

you can pretty much chop and swap anything out of those trucks and fit it to another without too many issues as long as you stick to auto and carbed

my 1985 truck had a 350 originally and i swapped a 454 from a 1973 basically plug and play other than exhaust work

i would recommend looking into a parts truck as well, i bought a 86 longbox with a blown motor for 300bucks and so far ive taken the window regulators, the pedals, the tilt column, all the windows,bumpers and bodypanels, and every little plastic clip needed in the interior.
totally worth it.

>Chinese self driving car
Good, they needed some way to control their population.

The Chinese can copy hardware (barely) but they can't aren't smart enough to program. They will make whole bunch of these cars and they will drive around running cunts over and killing little kids and shit, which probably isn't that big of an issue in China but it will never work anywhere else

Spend 5k on a used Japanese car. Camry works. Save the 10k for your goddamn future, or something else besides 4 wheels and seats. Happy holidays.

When in doubt, really nice low mileage example of cars off of the sticky. Also, don't necessarily go by make, go by model.

>>14020876
I want something at least 2010. I only see Corollas for this price range.

>>14020823
where's my fucking leatherman you faggot it was in the glovebox when I left my car at your shitty shop

are you a tire

Why aren't you trying to find an actual career?

I know, right? And then they're all like 'derpa derp it's your fault for being in a Miata!'

>do truckerfags not know they have something other than their HIDs?
What are you talking about? If you have HID headlights you don't have anything other than the HID lights to use. Unless you want him to turn on his high beams. You do realize incorrectly aimed halogen lights are pretty much just as blinding, right? Or it could be illegal lighting in the first place.

This is one of the only things I hate about lifted trucks.
I don't mind the light racks and extra bulbs, most people don't run them when they aren't wheeling- but the 6 inch+ lift makes the headlights shine right into my mirrors.
