I'm going to Mad Max my Prelude.
I need ideas for how to waterproof the entire interior/electrical as I will be removing the windshield and doors. I will also be removing the carpet and seats so I don't really need to worry a whole lot about the floor and such.
Thank you in advance

Did anyone else make the mistake of buying lightweight over horsepower?

So I just had my first ever experience of oversteer

>first car, Mk3 Turbo Supra
>its wet
>coming out of roundabout onto 50mph dual carriageway
>turn the wheel and give the usual 3/4th throttle in 2nd to get up to speed
>turbo spools
>lsd locks
>rear comes out
>bam bam on the limiter
>somehow come out unscathed
>somehow also dont panic and maintain even throttle
>steering wheel basically turn itself to counter, I'm aware this should happen
>hold the slide for a good 150 feet

The whole thing was over pretty quickly and happened so fast I was only aware of it as the car was correcting, aside from the miracle that I didn't crash, I wanted to understand how I would have countersteered properly, when the car regained traction it kind of snapped back which I know is indicative of holding the oppo for too long, but there was no indication from the steering feel that I could tell that would let me know that it's time to unwind. I have the same problem with my wheel in racing sims.

Yesterday you guys helped me figure out a car I saw on the street.

An E20 1973 Toyota Corolla SR5 coupe was the closest I could get to the exact version of the car. It's the coupe version with the square headlights, not the rectangular ones.

I want one. Do I have to go to Japan or some shit to get one? I can't find any of craiglist on the entire west coast.

Okay. Fuck this. You want something done right?! Do it yourself!

I recently took my car in for some exhaust modifications. The dude fucked up royally and still had a smile on his face when I handed over $200 of my hard earned cash.

What do I need, and how much will it cost to get every piece of equipment needed to do exhaust work? I'm talkin' welding, cutting, grinding, measuring, bending. Everything!

I want to weld on stainless steel too, so I'm imagining I'll need a TIG welder for starters. As well as some grinders, saws, pipe benders, protective gloves and helmet.

I want to make precise cuts, angles, and whatever the fuck else I need to do so that I can apply what's in my head to the real world!

Give me the range from "cheap as fuck" to "thats a nice setup"

I want a used BMW. Am I a retard? I found a 2006 325i on an online repo auction for only 3.5k but it has a lot of miles on it like 140k. Would manintenance really be that bad? It's extremely clean inside and out and has no warning codes. Honestly I didn't want to get it until I sat inside it's fully loaded with a leather and walnut interior and is comfy as fuark. Plus it's got some sick 17 inch factory wheels.

So can we all agree that Ford fucked up AGAIN?

>Only 5 extra horsepower compared to the 2016 Camaro SS
>They claim 0-60 in under 4 seconds but this is very doubtful and is likely just tied with the 2 year old camaro
>No numbers from the track meaning it did worse than the Camaro
>Costs more than the Camaro
>Has down syndrome
Can you all admit GM won?
