>downhill races
>bear mountain

you're either going to take out a hiker/bicyclist/deer or run into a rock wall/tree after catching air from a hill followed immediately by a 90 degree turn that you couldn't see due to the foliage blocking your sight line, it really isn't a good area you should race in though i've seen a few regulars

1990s honda civic or integra, miata or newer sport compact (used mkv gti/8th gen civic si/cobalt or hhr ss turbo/turbo subaru) if you have around $5000

or get a bike

Bear Mountain is an awesome place to drive, I've had a lot of fun driving through there in an S2000.

>some downhill races
Please don't do this, Bear Mountain isn't flooded with cops yet.

Well not races per say, but like a personal time thing.

AWD varies power between the wheels to get maximum grip possible.

4WD is consistent power to all 4 wheels.

AWD lives outside the box. He doesn't limit itself to a mere 4 wheels.

Fuck off with your shitty reliability questions. Just get a civic and kys

>>17659109
Ford jags are pretty reliable from personal experience. I don't know about the tata motors jags. There really as reliable as bmw mercedes and audi it just comes from leyland memeing.

You get the strength of a thousand autismos in your wheels with the style of one well-groomed, fedora wearing sperglord. It's a win win.

>>17658655
If you've already got steel wheels, since your car is a shitbox anyway, you should keep them.
If you want to get new wheels you'd be an idiot to get anything other than alloys.

Steel are stronger against abuse and hopping curbs

Alloy are lighter and more fuel efficient but not as strong.

Take a riding course and grow some balls.

>>17658311
More like a slow painful death at an intersection. Few motorcycle accidents occur at highway speeds. Take a riding course and be very honest with yourself. Do you have the innate skill it takes to ride safely? Riding a motorcycle is not for normies unless you want to die.

Biking is scary as shit. Every time I go to work on my bike, I feel as if my life is on the line (particularly as people drive like utter cunts around where I live, and it's all fast roads).

The thrill is part of the whole experience, so I think you have two mechanisms:

1) live in denial and try to bullshit yourself about accident statistics and being an amazing rider - there is always some cunt not paying attention, and while you learn to preempt this (eg any fucking taxi should be given a wide berth), there may come a time you just weren't paying attention.

2: Accept your mortality. I've lost two of my closest friends in recent years. How? They went to bed. One had a brain haemorrhage, the other a pulmonary embolism, with no apparent warning sides. Everyone does eventually, so you can't live your whole life being afraid of it. It could happen to you in five minutes from now when you're sitting on your ass, or in 50 years after pulling all kinds of stupid/dangerous shit.

This is general advice to consider. I'd say if you're that afraid, riding isn't for you. You need to be able to keep a level head in hazardous (busy traffic) or outright dangerous situations . If just the thought of getting on a bike scares you so much, I doubt you'll be able to maintain a cool head and make he right decisions when it gets a bit hairy.

Sell your baby girl imo, you can get more $$$

He hasn't heard about counter steering before, got some work to do teaching him riding again. Thankfully he's open to learning new shit and rides carefully in the meantime.

Bampppp. Would really like an opinion on this from anyone who can, I know it's not much info but it's the best I got.

does car seem like it lost power from before it had any issues? is it smoking?

id start by doing basic checks that are simple. look for leaking oil or coolant externally or on ground. pull oil dipstick or oil fill cap and check if it is milky looking. if you have a compression gauge check all cylinders for compression. these are all simple checks that can be quickly done. other checks require pressurizing the cooling system and doing a leakdown check on all cylinders.

i have seen a water pump failing cause overheating at idle. that mixed with a faulty fan clutch will not allow radiator coils to effeciently cool while sitting idle.

also get the code pulled and get the code number. that will help a lot in diagnosis.

>>17659183
The coolant levels have been fine and it's been smoking from the engine, not from the tailpipe which is why I'm questioning the head gasket diagnosis.
