Is this the beginning of a wonderful new automotive meme?

Back a couple of years ago when I was /k/-tarded there used to be unboxing threads. I think we should start that up here and now.
I got this yesterday, picked it up from a mechanic.
What do you all think it might be?
Unwrapped a little more. Anyone who recently got parts can add in too.
Notice me senpais.
This is for my aw11 also.

Looks like old chocolate cake wrapped stored and forgotten at the back of the fridge.
What do you think /o/?
158hp, 6-speed manual, (slightly) oversquare engine, forged connecting rods
Not bad, I'd like to buy one soon
coupe looks like shit, get the sedan
>>17870289
why do you think it looks like shit?
>>17870281
Pony up for turbo engine. That 2.0 is turd.
Is it okay to have half a tank of 91 and fill it up with 95? asking for a friend
>>17869818
pic unrelated
>>17869818
it depends on the engine senpai.
On the FSI and TFSI engines from VAG it is usually recommended to go atleast 3/4 91 and 1/4 95. Preferably to go all 95.
Diesels of old used to have 1-2 litres of petrol for every diesel fill up during winter times.
But to go half 91 half 95 is just retarded. You wont be getting anything out of it.

my car is a shitty old one and doesnt run as smooth anymore. 95 costs only about 8 cents more per litre in my country so I thought I would give it a go but I wanted to ask you guys, the experts first. Half a tank is a bit of a poor analogy desu but what I mean is basically I dont want to have to run it dry to try out 95 so is it okay if theres say a couple of litres left in the tank?
Why, Toyota?

Sounds like an unsubstantiated article written by someone who typically tests luxury cars.
>>17869716
Aside from the V6 engine and the body, everything else is a carryover from the previous Tacoma. Complete with C-channel frame, and massive rust problems. They aren't exactly reliable anymore.
Honestly the best small truck you can get in America is now the Chevy Colorado and GMA Canyon.
Hey /o/, I was wondering if you guys could help me out with a problem I'm having with my FC?
I was driving it and noticed that it would over heat, the upper radiator house would collapse and the reserve radiator fluid tank was bone dry. I went online and checked for a possible cause and found that my radiator cap looked like pic related. I replaced the cap, but I'm afraid to start her up again due the fear of straining my apex seals. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I had a similar issue on my 3000gt. Kept losing coolant and overheating. Changed the radiator cap and haven't had an issue in problems. If your cap looks like that, that is most likely the issue.
gotta drive it to know if its fixed. Run it at idle up to op. temp in your yard or something.
Check hoses, make sure supply and return are both heating up.

So in previous discussions, we've proven /our guy/ Matt:

>a corvette
>a hot wife
>a yacht
>is a god-tier driver
>fucks dozens of women a week
But in his last video drifting a turbo 2JZ Silvia, he just proved he's an absolute drift demon and makes DK look like a fucking clown.

What percentage down should you put on a new car?
100%. Don't buy things you can't afford.

I have enough money to pay for the car in cash, but that seems stupid, considering I can invest it at higher rate of return than what I would be losing in interest paying off the car incrementally through a loan

Well, black looks good to me. White doesn't look that good but if it was silver(i believe that's the original stock color), it'd had gone well with it. Keep it black or stock.
>>17846853
Stock is peeling, which is why I'm looking to paint it. I agree though; new they look great.

I know the badge might trigger some but I want some objective opinions.
Should I avoid? This is not the only car I'm looking for btw, don't get your pitchforks out yet.
>the transmission its got a noise
no
It was either used by a college girl, mother of three or someone who didn't care.
>the transmission its got a noise
Nope. Avoid.

Transmission sensor is cheap, but is it easy to place it in the car?
