I like that they all have great designs and performance.
I hate that they are all overpriced.

First for yamaha the bestaha
>>
What's a better buy?
An 04 FZ6 for 3.5k with 5k miles, an 09 FZ6 for 4.1k with 10k miles, or an 04 919 with 16k miles for 3.5k?
I'm thinking the fz6 but oh lawd i have to stop buying bikes faster than I can sell the old ones
>n+1-1
>>
>>17509844
Fz6 is a good bike, but kind of a starter bike desu senpai
I would get the 919 just for the power, but thats just me.

/o/-Men: Days of Touge Past
----
A thread for the British denizens of /o/.
Brit/o/ Garage: https://www.brit-o.co.uk/
----
Upcoming Brit/o/ Events:
MERE WEEKS AWAY
!!!Ultimate Street Car (USC)!!!
What: A car show where loads of chavs show up and show off their Limited Edition Corsas and financed Golfs on airbags. Also drag-racing, live music, and poledancing.
Where: Santa Pod Raceway (Northamptonshire)
When: 4th-6th August 2017
----
Recent Happenings:
From all accounts, both touge nights went well, with the Peaks one being fully sick. They stayed in a yurt and everything! No casualties to either drivers or cars, so nothing like a SoCal meet then.
Post away lads! Tell /o/ of hot UK touge action.

Redpill me on these
I love pop-ups, but because of snow I'm not confident enough to get RWD, but I want something fast nevertheless
There are 2 good, cheap offers, with below 150k mileage, one with 2.5 163 PS, second 2.0 117 PS
Originally I wanted a Celica but no one recommended them in terms of speed/tuning (unless awd, but it's out of my budget), so probe is my second thought
Are there any particular things I should avoid when buying one?

Mazda MX-6 in a bodykit, Probe GT has the sportiest suspension out of all its sister cars iirc (MX-6, 626, Probe) but the MX-6 is the lightest.
2.5l V6 is a very nice engine, but a bitch to do certain jobs on (timing belt/water pump). 2.0 inline 4 isn't really worth bothering with.
Watch out for rust and signs of abuse from the previous owner.

Just bought one a week ago. I'll fill you in on the details.
Pros
>V6 torque, sounds like an old Grand Prix car when you wind it out
>the FWD is actually neutral, it'll go sideways if you let it on slick surfaces
>1993 has the sportiest and stiffest suspension
>93 is the best year, most features and lowest ride height of all
>rides like it's on fucking rails and can outcorner some newer RWD sports cars
>2.0L I-4 gets awesome fuel mileage and maintenance is a cinch but is absolutely gutless
>parts are still plentiful
>R134 AC in most models pre-94 and all post 94
>V6 5-speed is faster than most of the Honda hatches of the day and will never get stolen
Cons
>transmission is made of glass so don't beat on it too much
>timing belt water pump and tensioner job on the V6 is ultra-nightmare mode for vehicle maintenance
>4-cyl isn't much better
>93 suspension will make you seek a chiropractor if you have a bad back
>some models are prone to rust, check the trunk area and around the windshield
It's a fun car you'll like it but don't pay much for one. It's a great way to get into the 90's sport coupe segment without the Fast and Furious tax.
Jezza seemed to like it.

So i'll be a teacher (aka poor for the next 20 years) this year and my old 93 ranger is beat up and i've done all the things i'm willing to do with it to keep it running.
I'm now in the market for something cheap, four door, and efficient on both insurance and overall easy daily driving.
Everyone is pushing me to buy new (friends included but they don't do their own oil changes, etc)
I'm thinking of going certified pre owned to get the bonuses and still taking off a chunk of the price.
The chart was handy for some base ideas of model types but nothing I didn't already know.
My TLDR
2014-2016 Civic ~ $13k range with 25-30k miles depending on model
2013 - 2016 Camry or Corolla ~ 14k range with 27 - 35k miles
2015-2016 Versa/Versa Note ~ 10-12k with 15k miles max
I know all of these are slug machines.
I'm not racing in them.
I know it's not exactly racing /o/ themed but i'm just a future broke educator needing something I can drive to school without feeling like trash.
Pic related; some mini car that wants way more than it'll ever be worth.

Is it at all possible to find one of these with a manual transmission in North America?

No, it's always been automatic only in North America.
>>
>>17509060
Why? Why would you want a manual transmission in what's essentially a work truck?
>>
>>17509356
I can understand that for the US where knowing how to drive is a novelty, but everywhere else in the world an automatic work vehicle is a novelty.

I recently came across this Pontiac Firebird from 88 and stopped to call the guy who put the "on sale" notice. I had a mechanic friend check it out and its perfectly entertained.
He would sell it to me for about 7000 euros.
I have some questions if you guys could help me out.
Should I try to negotiate the price?
I already tested the car and it feels different to modern cars I've driven. I have 8 year driving experience. Is getting used to an old car difficult?
It doesn't have airbag or ABS. Is safety going to be a problem? (In my 8 year driving experience I have never had an accident).
Is the cost of maintenance going to be too overwhelming?
In general, should I buy this car? It is basically one of my dream cars.

Importing alone is at least 1500 euros and I don't thing a fully working 88 firebird can be bought for 5000 euros in USA.

Pal, you can buy a Firebird in America with your shoes.
1600-3500 for a good Firebird here,

It's the best advice I've gotten since I came on this shithole of a board
>>
>>17507517
Stop taking your 98 F150 to car shows.
What does your family say about your oversized shitbox that's so offensive?
You now have $60k USD to buy a car. What do you buy?

Here's my build. 1994 Z32 300zx. I swapped it with a 2jzgte vvti and put a big borgwarner turbo that I bought off eBay for $300. It's good for about 700whp. I'll look for the dyno sheet to post right now.
