nice, and with a engine?

And we drove them ourselves too. Driving was my favorite pass time, just cruising around with no destination in particular. Windows down, radio on, arm hanging on the windowsill......

I miss those days.

Colt with a MIVEC 4G92 would be very fun.

>>13968509
That was in my mind. However I don't know if there are sporty parts for Colts or a mod culture like in Honda.

>>13968535
There's suspension stuff and the 4G92..well, it doesn't really need much. It already makes 170HP. A lot for a Colt.

The transmission is absolute trash. Beat on the car or beat on the engine a lot and the transmissions will commit sudoku

>>13968174

Are there aftermarket transmissions available for these? Are they a bitch to install?

>>13968186
>Are there aftermarket transmissions available for these?
Yes
Are they a bitch to install?
Yes. That's something you should have a professional shop do.

The engine itself is bulletproof. It's a 5.3L LS V8. The Transmission was only ever meant to deal with a V6, and even the supercharged 3800 V6 commonly blew through them with 60 less HP than the V8.
ZZPerformance does performance variants of the transmission.

Thought about it on my DD. I did dip the wheels and emblems so I can give you my experience there, but when I did have the extra time to do it in the garage, bills popped up and had to be paid. Such is life in the zone.

looks like shit most of the time

your pic is no exception

I have thought about plastidipping someone else's car

>>13968071
About once a month I take a 3 hour drive to property I have in the next state over. Usually to work so I take a guy friend.
It's a full on talk fest the whole way about cars generally. Sometimes we see crazy shit like someone flipped upsidedown on the freeway. Also play driving games like "tire on my side" or "cows on my side"

how do these work

>houston meet will never happen

This meet will happen damnit.

Wouldn't think so

Absolute fuckloads of them used for anything around here; trackcars, drifter cars, amateur rallycars, stock car racing

That's actually amazing.

>>13967649
Nissan have a long reputation for cheating though. I'd be more inclined to believe the BMW's time

>>13967492
terrible blind spots, terrible build quality, plasticky as fuck. mall crawler tier, and honestly worse than the Wrongler. an embarrassment to the FJ name

>>13967492
Prado with lipstick and less practicality

kek

meme

>>13967363
I'll say I usually buy 93 from Shell or BP, though not because of the marketing shiiit.

Stop using meme incorrectly.

And it's just a marketing ploy. The only gas that actually does anything is Chevron/Texaco/Caltex/Petro Canada gas. It has Chevron Techron/Tactrol in it, which really does clean your fuel system.

Not the same car tho

I would get a ppi done on the car for peace of mind. I looked at these years ago and some key points to look for is
Subframe wear
Smg pump
And vanos issue.

12k for a car with a 140k miles seems a bit crazy. But, i dont know the normal rate for e46m3 cars
