why aren't you replacing all the heavy shit on your car

>>14948659
nigga please, i had to make my onw gated shifter, we all know there ain't no carbon fiber parts available for my car.

What's your interior lined with? Lead?

>>14948659
>replacing surfaces with carbon fibre
>still having electric seat adjustments

Either try harder or don't even try.

>>14948659
"Carbon Fiber" for looks is just one layer of actual fiber and pressed plastic pellets to back it up.
Actual Carbon fiber doesn't look as good and is way to difficult to mass-produce.

>>14948659
It looks good in the R8. Idk how it would look in your average car.

>>14948712
That's why I always check the weight before ordering something.

>Still has seat adjuster
>Still has back seats
>Still has trunk lining
>Still has a spare tire and jack

Get gud

>gated shifter

While they do look really cool, they make shifting much slower and from what I've read they rattle like mad if the car didn't come with it stock

>>14948659
Because it's very expensive and hard to buy. Only bodypanels I've found for my NB Miata are mirrors, hood, trunk and hardtop.

>>14948659
Dat expense. Also, you'd get more 'performance' and 'mpgs' by just buying a manual instead.

I need most of the shit in my car to stay in my car. I'd probably gain more empeegees by taping over panel gaps.

Because my shitbox only weight 800kg.

>>14948659
Because I would rather spend the few thousand dollars that would cost me on a fun shitbox.

It came with my (used) car. No way in hell I would pay for the option.

What is this?

>>14952061
Reverse - Neutral - Drive

>>14952071
Ok thank you

Why a neutral on a car with no gear?

>>14952097
Coasting? I dunno, honestly I think it's just a holdover from the first automatics where they just left it there to separate reverse and automatic.

>>14948659
im of the persuasion that you should just keep adding power until you can totally negate the stock weight then some

>reducing the weight of a g wagon

Pretty good idea desu. heh

Because sometimes you need to raise the RPM without sending power to the wheels, like when testing the alternator or jump-starting someone elses car, or generally testing.

>>14948659
because I have taste

>>14949746
the rattle is usually improper fitment or fabrication. do it right, and it won't rattle

shifting is indeed slower because you can't go diagonally.

>lighten your car

>still being overweight in your fully carbon fiber car to the point the car leans to the drivers side

And then there all the fags that put carbon fiber vinyl wrap all over their parts ...
