First it was Norway now it's India and China, soon more countrys will join the electric car only production
What do?
>>17324152
Continue driving our gas-powered cars. They won't close down all the gas stations. They can't. What with transport trucks, buses, taxis, cop cars, and of course the cars of the common man overwhelmingly being gas or diesel-powered, it's unreasonable for the government to think everyone can afford the switch to electric just like that.
>>17324163
What they mean is probably for the average person, Norway said they would even Ban them though
in the majority of my country you need to drive three hours at the very least between petrol stations

Smallest dicks drive lifted trucks, you know it's true. Every one of them is a scrawny white trash manlet with steel toe boots and a TAPOUT shirt.

>What is a "Hot Hatch"?
A Hot Hatch is a manufacturer produced, performance oriented variant of a standard hatchback, designed for improved handling, increased top speed, acceleration and generally enhance the driving experience.
>Are all Hot Hatches FWD?
No. Whilst most Hot Hatches are FWD, some are AWD or even RWD.
>Isn't FWD shit?
No. Just because you can't get the arse out by stamping on the accelerator doesn't mean you can't have fun.
>Aren't Hot Hatches just for Europoors?
No; Hot Hatches have been a thing for the US since the 90s, took a dip in the mid 00s and are gaining momentum again.
Current gen Mazda3 isn't a hot hatch though.
Swift Sport is though.

I didn't make that image.
Question for the Ford guys: do I have to take it to the dealer if I want to put on mountune shit? Because the dealer I bought it from seems to have no idea that mountune is a thing and it's gonna be a pain to educate them.
>>17300158
I know you didn't, some retard anon made it a few months ago and he was rightfully called on his autism.
I still remember his tard rage over the Mazda3 being a run-of-the-mill econobox like it was yesterday.
No porsche thread?
Why is it that no one owns a 986?
>>17288185
but i do?
silver 986 guys is here too. i just saw him post.
I went to some twisty mountain road with my friends yesterday, it was awesome.
also got a nice magic number on my way back.
Hi,
I'm hoping you can help me sort out a disagreement my coworkers and I have.
I recently bought a 2017 WRX STI. I have 4200 km on it now.
They're telling me I'm babying it to the point where it's bad for the car. I barely ever go above 3000 rpm (where I shift). Once a week I'll go up to 5000 of the 6700rpm redline.
They're telling me that the STI needs to be driven hard frequently to spin the turbo clear out carbon, etc.
I'm saying it's not in the manual, so it can't be necessary to maintain the engine. I know this engine is super fragile, so I'm trying to not abuse it.
The odd time I do get near the redline, a smell of farts enters the cabin, so I'm thinking it's probably not good for the car to do often.
Who's right? We all work in a dealership so we all know a bit about cars. Should I be driving the car harder?
Pic related, it's the sort of girl who is attracted to proper vehicle maintenance.
Wow I re read this and I sound like an RPM counting autist.
Anyways, who is right?
He's full of crap. It isn't granny's carbureted Nova where it'll build a quarter inch of carbon in the combustion chambers if you don't wind it out a few times per week.
If it's direct injected (dunno, can't be arsed to know about cars I don't really like) it'll build up trash in the intake either way, but not the turbo.
>>17337884
Thanks!
That's what I thought. So there's no reason I should ever have to floor it for longevity purposes, I take it.

Are K&N filters good?
I wanted to put a CAI in muh car but le California laws and I can't be fucked to go through smog bullshit, so I was wondering which air filters are the best for performance.
>>17337308
Don't waste your money on a CAI. They do nothing.
I wouldn't bother with a drop in filter. If leaving the intake stock, stick with paper. Their CAI are good. Whether or not you'll get a check engine light or not depends if your ecu can adjust to the better airflow or not. If it does go off, you will need to have it dyno tuned or tuned from a handheld.
>>17337345
What's the difference between paper and theirs?
Okay, I may need some help with this, I have a chance to buy a MK2 1986.5 Supra and a 1987 Turbo Parts car, both for $3k.
The 1986.5 is in perfectly stock condition, it belongs to a man in his 50's.
This will not be my daily but my secondary "fun manual" car.
What do you guys think?
I wish I could do that
>>17337025
So, is that a; "Yes, go for it you fucking idiot."?
Had an 86.5 and kind of miss it. I've seen really nice, low mile ones asking $15k. It was very reliable and they probably still are. It was my daily driver for 3 years.
And you realize the picture you included is a Mk1, right?
What does /o/ think of these?
I don't.
>>17336707
Every single RS Audi is pure garbage.
Pic related is the only good Audi ever.
>>17336707
Don't fall for the Auto Union meme if you're asking because you want to buy one.
I'm no expert on vehicles but why does it seem automobiles from the 80's and 90's are so universally despised?
When ever you look in a junk yard or watch a demolition derby it's always vehicles from those eras.....
They're simply the ones that are 25-35 years old. Younger than that and they haven't hit bottom value yet, older than that and they're either rusted through and nonoperational or in good enough condition to have increased in value again. Has nothing to do with the 80s or 90s.
you just gotta find the good ones
Because demo derbies have always used 20-30 year old cars?
is gs400guy here?
I have a question regarding gs400/430, is the "lexus reliability" true with this particular car, there's one really close to me for sale with 230k kms and i was wondering if i would be able to afford maintaining it (24 yo part-time working student)
>>17336499
I'm not that faggot you said but I can tell you that no, you won't really be able to.
Not as much for the cost, but because if the downtime. Its one thing to have to pay $230 for a rack and pinion. But installing it yourself on a Tuesday afternoon when you gotta go to class and work the next day is not fun.
But a Fucking civic with low miles and stop trying to be an edgy ricer
>>17336499
stay away from train tracks please
thanks
>>17336499
A stock Lexus is damned near indestructible. Just change the oil and use official parts. I wouldn't buy that riced piece of shit in the pic though.
What would you say is the minimum income required to buy a nearly-new R8, insure and maintain it comfortably?
I earn approx £100,000 a year, UK. Possible?
If you have to ask here, I would say no.
>>17336395
You don't earn that.
>>17336395
Why would you want a nearly new one? An older manual one is better in every way.
Got cut off today as you can see great start to day
