What are the most important things to upgrade in a car, and why are they tires, springs, and shocks?

Wait for the fags to come in here and tell you that upgrading your engine first is the most important.
>>
>>17648168
first tyres,
then driver
then lightweight wheels, brake pads, suspension, reliability like baffled oil pan, cooling
then chassis reinforcement, lightening, reducing aero drag, extra gauges
then downforce
and then when its not enough power.
If you're drag racing then reduce weight and add power and tyres

Hello,
I would like have consultant on car purchase. After installing /g/entoo, I became truly enlighten and it changed my perspective on many things.
What I want to know is, what is the car equivalent of gentoo operating system and it has the reputation of a ThinkPad when it comes to laptops.
The only one I could come up was this, Lada 2107. What I have learned from Russian mentality, is that a good machine is easy to repair. Is this the definition of quality? Not a single car can go on without maintenance, so why should you bother with anything else if you can repair it faster, cheaper and more comfortably because it doesn't have any extra on the way when you try to change a part or two. After seeing engine room on both Lada 2105 (1985) and Mercedes-Benz C200 (1994), I began to hate the mercedes. Sure it is comfortable to ride with and has all cool features, but I should I care when I'm on a tight budget and more importantly, I want to learn how the actual car works. This is why I mentioned Gentoo because you really can't install it if you don't know anything your computer.
In short, is Lada a great platform to learn car repairing and will it make me struggle to the point where as the more I struggle, the more experienced I become. Let's face it, only through hardships, will make you become a better person. It is a jouney nevertheless.

Another reason why I'm considering old cars, is that no additional computers can be integrated on to them as well as they don't rely on computers too much. No need to hack your car with computer to get more horsepowers (or kilowatts).
I also hope that this car doesn't use proprietary software that could potentially take control of it's user. EU is very scare space to live since you don't know what the fuck those morons are working on to limit the freedom of it's citizens.

As you can see here, the engine compartment it's simple and easy to work. This is a Lada 2105 or 1500.

piece of shit car.
Only good if you intend to buy it and turn it into a race car.
Just because its easy to repair doesn't mean its reliable. Get some toyota that is easy to repair and reliable and less suffering and more fun than driving a piece of shit russian car that is only allowed to exist in those quantities because they artificially removed all competition.
I want to buy an RX8 and rice the absolute fuck out of it. Talk me out of it.
I just feel this overwhelming desire to get one and make it fucking ridiculously loud, give it an obnoxious paint job, enormous spoiler, and other """performance""" mods.
It just gives off this aura to me like a girl who's begging you to slap the shit out of her and shove your cock H A R D into her ass while you choke her until she turns purple. It's begging me to be ruined.
Help. I might actually do it.

I finally got my license plate after almost 2 moths of South Carolina temporary tags. It was kinda fun having tags from so far away though.

sighed as the drivetrain finally pretty much gave out at 200k, and limped it over to the local scrap yard.
Any alternatives to tinting your car windows? Any new technology on the market that is legal?

Replace your interior lights with black lights and coat the inside of your windows with body fluids.

>>17652225
What, do you think you're going to get a $20 spray can from amazon that provides the same effects as a $500 professional tint install? Dumbshit, just get a professional install or don't, and if you don't, stop whining.

Maybe that's why the question was asked! Dumbass.

Know how I know ricers don't know a single fucking thing about performance? Heads. They don't even know that all of the power, FUCKING ALL OF IT, comes from your heads. A motor is nothing more than an air pump. Air goes in, air goes out. If you don't work your heads, make them the absolute most efficient they can be, you're pissing in the wind. No amount of turbo, nitrous, whatever, is worth a good flying fuck if the motor can't breathe. And how does it breathe? Through the fucking heads.
If anybody, *ANYBODY*, talks about making their car fast, and they haven't worked their heads, they're a fucking moron, and you should laugh at them.

What if they have done gears and a weight reduction?

ikr? I've got people telling me opening up the intake and exhaust (and tuning for the changes of course) on a 986 Boxster won't do shit even though the heads (minus the combustion chambers themselves due to bore differences) and cams are the same between the box and the 911
That extra power isn't coming from displacement alone, it's also the much better intake and exhaust on the 911 as well

>This 200 PS engine loves to be revved. With a high redline, a flat torque curve and 100 PS per litre, you’ll be sure there’s plenty of power no matter what RPM you’re at.
Is this true?

2004 Carrera S is a good car but drains the battery like nothing else. They jammed it full of electronic components and taxed the battery. Otherwise great car.

>>17649454
Except it doesn't, it even has features to save your battery like turning off your interior lights after 2 hours if they're left on and disabling the remote entry if the car has been sitting for 5 days
