I need a 2" hitch for a 2008 Subaru Forester. Recommendations on brand? Any class, I'll be using it for a bike rack. Thanks

Thanks but all of the hitches on etrailer and Curt's website for my car are 1 1/4, I need a 2"

2' Might be out of yer vehicles class.
You could nigger rig a 2" reciever to a 1.25 by chopping a stock 1.25 up and welding the 2 inch up to her. In that case I would try finding used components.
Or you could just buy one of those gay bike racks that have the ratchet straps for your tailgate.

How does buying a used car work?
I wan't to pay around 8-9k for one and have no credit. Will i have to take out a bank loan, or can i just show them my work stubs and they'll let me make payments?

It depends on the dealership many used car lots offer in house financing and will allow you to drive off paying 500-2500 down and showing pay stubs etc.

>Mazda calls its variable nozzle turbocharging Dynamic Pressure Turbo technology.
>the 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G engine can spool up more quickly at low rpm. The method works by sending exhaust air to the turbine through three smaller exhaust ports at low rpm, quickly creating boost pressure of up to 17.4 psi. Three larger ports open up via a flow control valve when the revs climb. Mazda describes the idea as putting your thumb on a running garden hose to restrict the water flow and increase the force of the stream, thus spooling up the turbo sooner.
>Mazda also uses a special method uncommonly seen in gas-powered passenger cars to keep engine temperature down at high load to prevent fuel enrichment, a cooled EGR. By using a special (and rather pricey) module to cool exhaust gas that’s recirculating through the turbo, the engine is able to reduce internal heat and thereby maintain an impressive 10:5:1 compression ratio. But the benefit will be seen more by consumers than the EPA testing lab, Mazda said.
Why didn't this exist sooner?
Now put it in an MX-5 and Mazda3.

That part doesn't actually do anything in EPA tests to increase fuel economy.
I mean the valves before the turbo to spool it up faster.

Sounds like it'll be expensive when it goes kablooey.

Its honda, so its bascially a washing machine with wheels.
Boring as fuck.
It's small, and wont get you laid.
However it gets gud mpg's its cheap and its a honda so unless you get one with an automatic, itll run forever.

the manual for your car bro

>>13933367
Experience. I bought a beater for cheap and just fucked with it. Learned alot by doing that. Shit like why properly grounding things is important, why back pressure in your exhaust is a good thing. I also apprenticed at a shop but that was kind of a fluke tho it couldnt hurt to go around to small shops and see if theyll hire you as a tech or some shit. Otherwise google and basic auto manuals

When can i expect Fiesta ST's end up depreciating? I have a budget of about 15k for Daily driver in about 6 months to a year, they seem to be nice fun daily drivers. Is waiting for these to drop in price worth it?

only if you mod it to make it quicker
its a vw so it will break anyway. may as well enjoy what little life it has

/o/ does not approve of anything VAG except maybe mk1 and mk2 GTIs.

>>13933068
I approve of it. It may not be reliable, but it certainly has a charm. I enjoyed the one I drove, but I didn't like the turbo lag. Were it me, I'd just get a base model 2.5L 5 cylinder model and mod that.

Look all I'm saying is blasting down a snowy road in the mountain in a 1980s Audi is ten time Cooler than doing it in a 2000s car ok

How much would it cost to build a 426 HEMI off a brand new block from Mopar?
Also how would you determine the red line?
