Welcome back.
It's feasible, make sure everything is torqued correctly, and you may want to tow it to an alignment shop after you're done, unless you don't care about your tires.

You can probably buy all the parts yourself from Rockauto for maybe $200ish. But if you have no experience doing this, then I wouldn't attempt.
You need special tools (which you can rent) and an alignment afterwards.

Get another estimate for labor, get a part list, buy the parts yourself and have a shop only install them.

The ass was fat.

I've seen that rear for ten seconds now and already I wouldn't mind never seeing it again.

Still 320 horse, which imo is plenty for that type of car.

>>13967041
Cool prototype, is it going to stay a coupé?

I really like Volvo's new design language. Their ambitions are really modest with it though, I read somewhere that here in the UK they are only hoping to tempt 500 customers away from each of their rivals e.g new 5-series, new E-class, XF, for a couple thousand sales a year.

Because it's heavy as fuck, there's no manual option, no aftermarket support, and no racing program to promote it.

I know you thought there was logic to this statement, but there is not.

I don't think you've ever encountered real freezing rain, like 1/2 inch of ice type freezing rain

Wait, Daf is American? Also, Aston Martin are owned by a fairly wide selection of different investment groups. Ceo is a Brit though, if anyone cares.

In any case, most of these are still designed, engineered and built in the UK, just for various international owners.

>>13966623
according to what I've learned from top gear, unions happened

>>13966623
The 70's happened. Watch Clarkson's Car Years episode on the british motor industry, it's on youtube.

ive heard good things about older rav4 not too sure about 2011 but it couldnt be too bad.
unsure about tacoma but i like your pic more than rav4.

>>13966607
Yeah, I love how this truck looks. The previous owner is a military man, took great care of it. From what he's told me, the care is in immaculate condition and well taken care of. I trust him completely but I'll still get it checked out by a mechanic before I drop a dime.

>>13966559
Just watch out for rust on the underbody and frame. Toyota trucks though the 90s and even up until the mid 2000s are plagued with rust. Toyota even had a recall on some of them and offered a frame replacement if it got so bad.

small trucks don't sell as well as mid-size/large trucks.

In some countries, small trucks are still made and sold however.

Trucks were originally made for people who needed trucks. Nowadays trucks are made for people who need sedans.

Larger engine, better tow-rating, safety and so on

And you're also comparing a single cab to a crew cab...

Yes, because you're supposed to cut your fender to gain the extra clearance.
People don't just leave it cut up with no flares because it'll look stupid.

Lowering the car and adding in fender flares or wide body usually helps with cornering, stability, and weight distribution.

Most flares or pieces require the previous fender underneath to be cut and welded to allow for wider and/or larger wheels and tires.

For 90% of cars it's pointless and used for aesthetic value, but the other 10% is used for track cars that wanted the aforementioned bonus.

bullshit. you have to add the fenders because your not allowed to have wider tyres than fenders in most countries. People in america just do it because we all do it. by the way it really looks shitty

>mffw when foreigners brag about how expensive their gas is

Yes, water works better than antifreeze at exchanging heat.

The higher the antifreeze percentage the worse it will be in warm weather.

>>13965879
So I shouldn't worry too much on that slight difference.

Like the engine runs perfect, no engine light and I only need to do a 3500km trip to a colder region.

>>13965889
Well, you should use the proper coolant.
But, no I wouldn't really worry about it being where it is.

Try rebleeding it but squeezing all the kinks and bends in the radiator hoses with the car inclinded so the open cap is the highest point.

From a standstill in 1st gear:
Push the accelerator down until you hear the BAM-BAM-BAM of the rev-limiter.
Quickly step off the clutch.
You will never stall using this method.

Tldr; get in it and flail the controls whilst parkinsoning the fuck out and eventually drive it.

Get in. Adjust the seat so that when you push the clutch to the floor, your left leg is nearly completely extended.

When you fuck around and finally how to in to starting without stalling anc looking like a retard, prepare your anus for the only semi delicate thing about driving stick; Engaging the clutch.
Start by being in first and slowly let out the clutch until the engine speed drops slightly. Bam that's that soppy cunt of a cars biting point. Add a little gas there and it'll go like people watching you fuck around.

There should be a sticky for all the Ameritards learning to stick. Like holy shit, it's not that hard, you can learn how to drive manual in 2 weeks TOPS if you're not mentally challenged.
