throw out anything you don't need. weight is the enemy. spare wheel, tire iron, interior panels, junk. whatever you don't really need in the car. replace seats with lighter aftermarket ones also/

one of the cheapest mods out there

>>13837698

>>13837844
weight reduction is best mod.

>>13837698
I'd go with more horsepower, and better handling.

That works for most cars.

I think you should grease your headset bearings desu senpai

>>13837558
>I ran over a nail or something and got a puncture in my tyre.
Continental gatorskins will prevent that in the future

Anyway the steering problems sound like they're caused by a loose headset. See:

>>13837558
I'd just replace the entire headset, maybe you tweaked the fork too.

The parts that you're painting should be smooth before you paint them. If they feel rough then you've not properly sanded/grinded them, or you've completely fucked up with the primer

I've usually used two layers of primer for normal painting, and three (anti-rust) if I've been painting things for the suspension or anything on the underside that comes into contact with roadsalt

And remember; light, thin layers instead of heavy, droopy ones

>>13837550
Allright, thanks. So I goofed when I didn't sand the parts after removint the paint with steel brush? To what grit do you think I should sand the metal before applying primer? Isn't too smooth a bad thig since paint won't stick?

>>13837711

I've used K60 to remove paint and rust from carparts, and with that I've been able to get a properly smooth surface

Try something like P400 wet paper if you want an extra nice polish before you start

p.s: this is basically "Ebay Special: The car". So a $200 ebay turbo is totally viable.

The turbo, unlike the block is replaceable and is not essential for engine functions.

>installing a frag grenade onto the intake side of your engine

>thinking turbos are cheaper than sbfs


Op just go to the junkyard and get some heads and an intake off an explorer.

Depends, what's the specs on the vehicle? And what's the full price? Is it a desirable brand? Has it been sitting at the dealer for a long time? These things can easily drop the asking price when haggling.

Haggle hard, and finance even if you have the cash. Dealers are more likely to take off large amounts if you finance, even if you pay it off straight away. Don't be duped into extras, and don't be afraid of getting quotes from similar spec cars from different dealers and asking for better price that way.

bump anything else?
I do plan to finance.

Should I let the dealer finance for me or should I go with my bank? Should I just go with whoever has lower interest? My bank said with my credit that through them any car 2006 or newer w be 3.9% and anything 2010 or newer will be 2.9%.

>>13837241
what about looping the exhaust through a charcoal filter and an intercooler and back into the intake, would that work? it would keep emissions down and save some weight

I still want to see a manuél CVT.

Just a sliding gear selector where you can choose from infinite gear ratios.

>>13837263
I would actually want this.

What engine are we talking about for the Volvo? B20 or B21?

Should probably talk about American cars then, OP. As we both know they perform...poorly.

>>13837167
940 with the 3.0 24v i6

on properties you should/could. i once read a article in which this mondeo was compared to passat. the passat won but the mondeo was was better at braking distance, comsumption, weight, turning circle, payload, topspeed and acceleration. btw a confusing result for a test...the passat was to good at door closing sound and seat heigtht ;)

>>13837150
cool thanks :)

in my country used passats are a lot more expensive than mondeos - prolly because muh german prestige
but i also heard about rust problems on mondeo - is that a big issue
i'd buy one from around 2003-2004

hm, im no real expert. in germany there are reports sorted by timeranges e.g. 6-7 year old cars. maybe you find something similar. these reports are showing the amount of problems on official carchecks. you could also spend some money in a rust protection but i guess it its not worth doing it. just be aware of rust when you buy your mondeo and spend some money for special washing in spring(salt from winter).

Well then i guess we should put the FRS as best of all cars because you can use the 80k you saved to be even faster.
