GTC4Lusso has a less gaudy interior.

If it's your only car, it's a bad idea

The best 4A for boost would be the Smallport 4As from around 1990-92, or you could find the last gen 4AGZE (E100), it has the small port heads and higher compression ratio and will take boost very well, avoid the 20V if you want boost as these get more complicated due to the ITBs

I found this bare block, is this a reasonable starting point?
https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/pts/d/age-engine-block/6234661709.html

Why would a small port head be more desirable?

And as noted I have a motorcycle I can use in the Montana summers.

>>17605563
The block is out of a 1990 too.

It's hard to pick a least favorite part when 95% of it is irredeemable garbage. I guess I hate that almost everyone here would rather pretend to be ignorant and obtuse just to get a reaction out of people, rather than attempting actual discussion.

Tripfagging, Avatarfagging, meme forcing, frogposting, and bringing shitty memes over from other boards (mainly /tv/).

No, just Audi since all they do is take VWs, add some leather and brushed metal here and there, slap on meme """"AWD"""" and four rings and call the end result a "luxury" car like it's on the same level as BMW, Mercedes or Lexus

Porsche is the only good German brand.

Japanese cars are the pinnacle now, since 1989.

240sx looks a lot better IMO but really it comes down to whether you want a convertible or a coupe and what you can find that isn't ruined or massively overpriced.

You'll never find a 240sx which hasn't DURIFTO modded into a fucking basket case for the price of a clean Miata.

Miatas are plentiful, the tax on them are nowhere near as bad as a 240sx esp rust free ones.

They look better than a 240sx (esp if the miata has a hardtop). They are more fun to drive than a 240sx, (assuming you don't plan on going sideways because drifting + short wheelbase = no bueno)

Sure the Miata doesnt have a backseat but lets be honest you have no friends and if you do they better have their own cars.

Uhhhh I dont know know what else to tell you.

I personally love 240sx and Miatas but the truth is the 240sx community/owners are delusional fuck boys.

she could service me

Yes. If she does a poor job I'll have her manager know.

>he can't even change his belt or starter

Are you mentally retarded?

Not bad, thanks anon.

How can I make sure my car doesn't roll off my jack and kill me if I'm underneath? I've had it roll before when changing to a spare tire. I am pretty sure I can change my oil without jacking it up anyways, but its still something to think about

>Driving
My old mans '70 Fairlane I6 and the backroads to our house while it was being resealed.
Man that bitch had a fat ass but goodness me what a sound - my mother had no idea about those full lock slides and likely never will.

Fast forward 20 years, he has a muddingmobile Mazda version of the Suzuki escudo V6 and I finally convince him to have a drive of my NA miata (few simple mods etc).
At first he was just getting to grips with the seating height but eventually he took a corner faster than he could in the Mazda and this bigass grin stretched across his face, took him about a second to do a u-turn and try out the old back roads home, this time paved.

I did something illegal, but it was worth it.

So a couple years ago, some stupid bimbo in a piece of shit Honda crossover started tailgating my ass (no i wasn't driving slow), I didn't know what the deal was when she could have passed me in the other lane. Got annoyed so I switch lanes and she does the same, came to the observation that she was just fucking with my ass. So I brake checked her, made the cunt go up a curve and sped off like a little faggot.

Her car recovered unfortunately since I saw her in my rear view. After that it seemed that she just fucked off.

at least buy a good-ish looking one unlike those 3

Having unfortunately driven one of the Aygo/107/C1 spawns, I can tell you now the experience is comprised of only two things: Plastic and Vibrations. No wonder they're so popular with teenage girls.

What are you talking about, that looks fine.

>>17606531
if its not on the drivers side it doesnt matter

You sure that looks fine? Im sure I could just replace the mirror and super glue the casing back on. And yeah it's on the drives side

>>17606442
second gen dodges with the 12 valve cummins motors are pretty bulletproof if you take alright care of them, as are squarebody chevies and the 1st gen superduties.
personally given where you'll be at I'd look for a fullsize diesel pickup truck for maximum bulletproof, but you're gonna have to get it set up for cold starting with a block heater and plugging it in at night, and you'll probably burn through quite a bit of fuel additive.
at the end of the day the way you'll keep anything running is not beating the dogshit out of it. now if you gotta jump a ditch, whatever, but leaving years and years of road salt, snow, cat turds, whatever, in cracks crevices and other parts of the vehicle is just asking for problems, and if you're on basically hoth you really need to be on top of maintenance intervals.
cars that survive in shit conditions aren't good cars so much as they belong to damn good owners.

Just to add, It may be overkill, but look into getting some sort of decomissioned military vehicle I know that they have some older literally unkillable trucks that can run on any type of fuel

>>17606522
good luck getting M35A2 parts up in the frozen shithole of hoth without being jewed out the dickhole for it.
plus, that's just a lot of truck.
