>what is a top mount intercooler

Does your car have a turbo or a supercharger on it? If so, the hood scoop may feed air into this thing to cool air coming from your turbo/super

>>14960816
its an outback sport

>>14960823
I think the Outback sports are naturally aspirated (no turbo/supercharger). So the hoodscoop isn't functional other than letting more air into the engine bay, but that has negligible effects.

>>14960842
so im a shit ricer forever? ill never be good....

That's pretty much what you deserve for driving the most obnoxious car you can buy stock.

Lamborghinis are more tasteful than STIs.

>>14964361
I love this feel.My 327 sometimes backfires,due to the cam timing and it's hilarious to downshift in front of envirocucks.Plus,they get more butthurt because of the patina'd paint,as well as the exhaust pipes coming from just behind the cab.

>>14964447

If it looks even a little bit like a piece of shit people will think you are absurdly poor or something.

Generally, if it isnt show quality people dont give a fuck about classics.

>If you suck at driving or haven't drove manual before, don't buy a fucking boyracer car so you won't attract people trying to race and make a fool out of yourselves.

1961 is too classic to look poor.

I was on a slight incline.

>>14969346

that was pretty retarded to just not put in in park, but it would probably have failed sooner or later. if you left it in D and had the parking brake on the clutches would not have been slipping, it would just the torque converter. leaving it in neutral would not do that.

Fucking richfags. No college kid should have that car while I'm stuck driving a fucking Neon.

>>14969392
After reading up about it, P wears out the clutch too. Now I always baby the transmission and turn it off in D then put it in P.
If I have to sit on the lights, I just keep it in D, even that causes less damage to the transmission than putting it in N or P when the car is running. Wouldn't have said problem if the car was manual

Peugeot 505 has an auto with that problem. Fluid doesn't circulate unless the transmission is engaged in R or D. Chances are our retarded friend here lives in the Euro refugee zone and bought himself a "classic" without doing an ounce of reading whatsoever.
P.S. Every time you buy a car, make sure to read up on its weak points. Save yourself the pain and heartache this europoor put himself through.
