Hey /o/ I'm looking to remove the cat and 2.25" Y pipe on my 1984 vette. My question is will the side pipes be the same horsepower gain as the H pipe? Also could people burn themselves when they get out of the car and touch the side pipes? Not looking for headers or an X pipe since most shops around here do not know how to make an X.

This is my daily. I got it back in March and it has given me nothing but issues. Wanted to share since it's working well now and I just did some upgrades today. It's a 2007 Outback base model with a 5 speed. Black on black, no awful 2 tone like most of them.

Here's what I've done in the past week:
Yellow fogs (lamin-x and bulbs)
OEM rubber mats
215/65 Yokohama Geolandar ATS
Newer OEM Impreza steelies (came with awful 5 spoke steelies)
Subtle Solutions 1" lift

Don't really have more plans since it's my daily and I'm trying to boost one of my other cars at the moment.

My crappy ford freestyle died on me today after 6 years, I have 2 days to find a new car.

What would /o/ suggest I do with $2,000 saved up and damn good credit?

What should I buy? No particular budget in mind and I live in Socal, commute up to 40-50 miles per day.

I fucking hate Traction control. It's pointless and people who say it helps in the snow / ice are dumb. I live in Montana, and Traction control just seems to cause nothing but trouble. I can't disable it without disabling the ABS (Which IS nice to have on snow / ice)

What's the point? Especially on your basic car.

Ok /o/, Bimmer memes are catching up to haunt me and I need to sell my 3-series fast before it's too cost prohibitive.

What shitbox should I get to replace it?
need something small that can handle in the city well.
Considering a Fiero or a Miata.
Let me know how stupid I am.

If you like fast cars but don't own at least one sports bike then you're a fucking retard.

Shitboxes are loved by /o/. We like to say they have character. We beat them to hell, and they somehow still go another 50k miles. When brand new with 4 miles on the odometer, we smugly donned these vehicles "econoboxes". But they matured, such as a fine wine does. They surived to 300k miles with minimal repairs. Just like a soldier earns the Purple Heart, our "econoboxes" earned their reputation as the "shitbox". There are a few cars that will always be known as great little shitboxes: the Toyota Corolla, our beloved Twingo, and America's frontrunner, The Geo Metro.

The Geo Metro was conceived much the same way I was: during a 4am cocaine fueled grope session in the back seat of an AMC Gremlin.

The year was 1987. A few Detroit executives who were down on their luck decided that we need a car designed for real human beans. A car that would love its 8th owner more than its original buyer. A car that had seen 3 oil changes its first 100k miles, but now is pampered by synthetic blend every 2,999 miles. Sunroof? Fuck that! 4 cylinders? Nope! We want 4 wheels, 3 cylinders, 2 doors, and one goddamn good car.

Thus the 1989 Geo Metro was born. It reigned supreme for decades, much like a dictator in Asia. Jay Leno owns 7 Geo Metros in case you forgot. The Geo Metro is the only car to win at Monza, Laguna Seca, Silverstone, and Talledega. Ford and Chrysler appealed to the US government in 1990, saying that production of the Geo Metro created an unfair advantage for GM. Unfortunately for Ford and Chrysler, 98% of the members of Congress drove Geo Metros and loved them to death. The Geo Metro placed 4th in the 1992 Presidential election behind Ross Perot.

Some say the Chevrolet Aveo was the successor to the Geo Metro, but I refuse to believe. Nothing can ever succed over the Geo Metro when it comes to its main purpose: being a spectacular shitbox.
