Personally
I don't recommend Continental
But I do recommend P-Zero.

Thats just from experience.

I think /o/ shills Michelin

>>17666553
Hankook are pretty good

IMO I think advocating a certain brand is fucking dumb. Either advocate specific models or fuck off, as all brands have shit and great products.

This is an example of what I'm talking about...

>>17666346
Paint it a shitty matte red and then put a fake old gas station name on the side, like Big Red's Gasoline or Jones & Sons Truck Repair.

Keep the body as is and go through it mechanically. Going to look like a complete boomermobile as a fake service truck.

>tfw most of /o/'s non-sporty dreamcars are really obscure 80s early 90s shitboxes you can get for $500 if you ever find them

$500 my ass lol. maybe some rusted out 300k mi piece of shit that "needs a little tlc"

>>17665977
This is very doable...talk to your Aunt, see if you can do payments or some shit...get your Gramma to badger her...rent a fucking car haul trailer from U-Haul, drive north and pick the fucking car up, turn around and drive home...

>>17665977
Whew that's a lot for somebody else's unassembled project. Does it have the computer setup sorted for the modern engine? Do you have a workspace?

It's so fucking awkward to place monetary value on emotional shit like this. I assume this aunt is by-marriage and not your blood? Otherwise you'd know what she wants $9000 for and she'd put some value on keeping it in the family etc etc.

>>17666081
I felt a bit stung by her price but I understand why. She's selling everything to buy a new house to live in by herself down here in California. I'm telling myself I'm okay with it due to it helping her in some sort of way.

>>17665844
Did you do your front brake rotors and pads? Do you have uneven tire wear?

>>17665844
That's actually a standard feature to avoid plowing into crowds

>>17665854

No uneven tire wear. I didn't do the rotors and pads in the front, since they look good and have been wearing evenly. I think they were fairly new when I bought the car.

>>17665558
probably going to have a rough time finding all that.

in my humble opinion over the course of my lifetime ford has made a very reliable pickup, but you can't buy a full sized one with a manual anymore.

i know ram offers such a creature, but i've shied away from such a brand. chevy has made good trucks in the past, but wouldn't buy anything now from them now.

bottom line give up the manual, and grab a ford or toyota.

>>17665558
>manual full size truck
those haven't been made in the last 10 years at least.

what do you haul? why do you need a truck?

>>17665558
Manual doesn't really exist anymore.

Long bed and crew cab I don't think exist. Best you can do is long bed extended cab.

Anyway, choices are
>Nissan Titan
Too bad it's a Nissan
>Toyota Tundra
Bretty good truck honestly
>Silverado/ Sierra
Also good
>Ford
Also good, probably
>Ram
Lol no

So, I would look at the Ford, Cheby and Toyota. See what you like best. I have a newish Tundra and a new GMC Sierra 2500, few complaints about either. I test drove some Fords and I thought they lacked refinement amd needed to step up their offering but they're obviously very popular.

Also im still trying to track down 5.0 anon and git gud if you guys could please give me the link to the minnes/o/ta server I'd really appreciate it I got kicked out or something.

My question is, why would you even consider one of these when the WRX STI exists?

me too

Order them from a local napa/oreilly/autozone, whichever carries what I need for newer cars, For classics I use those but also ebay and forums for used parts and model/generation/chassis type specific sites for new reproduction parts.

I usually go to Oreilly for small stuff on projects I need parts for right away. RockAuto for higher priced shit I can wait for.

Case in point, BIL wants new LCAs on his Escape, I'm not going to be able to help until next weekend.

Oreilly $88/ea + tax
RockAuto $40ea +10 shipping.

Corolla hands down. But buy what you can afford cash.

>>17664646
how much cash do you have for a down payment? what's your credit score? post your local craigslist.

I like Malibus and own one, but LS models are shit. Get the Toyota.
