As you can see in that video, 30sec or so in they show under the 4g eclipse and the awd set up.
Now I know it's easy for eclipse owners, they just pull from an Evo and go. But if I wanted to convert my 2009 civic Si to awd is there a platform that I can use that will bolt right in?
Video related is what I'd like to do.

I never owned a ridiculously stupid car so I got one of these. Isn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be. Seat is comfy, drives smooth, heaters blow hot air so fast.
What ridiculous purchases have you made?

Bought a Peugeot 106 for 300 euros. The exact same color as in the pic. Drove it for a year, got bored of it and sold it for 400 euros. It was extremely reliable for a French car. I expected it to break down constantly and be a complete shitbox, but I never had any problems with it and it achieved 160 km/h without major vibration.

Well done it sounds like you actually got some solid use out of it. I had a 309 for some time. Was also surprisingly good! Could fit 2 fat men and 3 washing machines in it.

I agree, the K11 micra is a pretty good daily driver. it might only have 75hp or so but it weighs so little that it doesn't even matter.
upgrade the suspension and brakes, and you have a road-legal go-kart. or keep it stock and enjoy the smooth ride and low fuel consumption.

So this is something that often makes me think. Car enthusiasts or motorists that change behavior to fulfill the style of their car.
Background Story: My brother got a FJ Cruiser. And when he purchased his cruiser. He bought a whole bunch of oakley sunglasses. Until that day, the guy, never surfed. And got a boogie board to learn the basics. It went in the back of his Fj Cruiser. He even got a wetsuit. My thing is, he isn't into those things. But while he had the car he was an outdoorsman. Once he realized the car was too expensive on the gas he got himself a 4 cylinder and his behavior changed.

You're right, OP. I bought a Chrysler Town & County a few years back. I started going to kids soccer games, and picking them up from elementary school and friends houses all the time. It was really weird, since I don't have kids.

So I'm considering buying an old truck like in the pic related
I don't know much about Chevy or ford
What are some common problems with them and what should I look out for ?
Which is better?

Get the one that you like the most.
Is the lowest miles.
Is the cheapest.
In that order.
They'll both be fine trucks, and since they were competitors in the past. There probably will be no fucking difference.
Chevys are generally more gashogs because they generally use bigger displacement engines. But that's just an anecdote.
My father just bought a C10 1972 along with his 1934 Ford. He loves them equally.

The problem is I don't really have an opinion on them
I like how the Chevys look a little bit more but again I don't know shit about either and how they compare

One of my favourite things about the car scene is that, for the most part, everyone’s respectful. No matter what you like or what you can afford, you can be pretty sure that people will appreciate the effort. Well it seems to be the opposite for the most part on /o/. Why if someone posts something that they enjoyed modifying, but it just so happens to be a "poor person's" car is there so much hate. I don't understand why real car people even post on /o/. it's almost as toxic as /b/ especially if someone is trying to be serious, or wants constructive criticism.

Is color a reliable way to determine which of my coils has gone bad?
I've been having some misfire issues with my 08 Fit. First of all I discovered that the previous owner put the wrong spark plugs in it so I'm changing those.
But also one of the ignition coils is bad, and the mechanic couldn't remember if it was the 1st or the 2nd one because he'd switched them around a few times. These are the coils, the 2nd one is a noticeably different color from the rest, more of an orange than pink like the others. This makes me suspect it's the 2nd one that's gone bad.
Any advice

Test them, idiots. Find a multimeter and your factory service manual.
>>
>>13932221
measure their resistance with an ohmmeter. refer to service manual.
>>
>>13932221
Put them back on the car, start the engine, disconnect them one at a time, see which one doesn't cause the engine to run rougher, that is the one that needs to be changed
