Still got the Newport?
If I didn't have a 300ZX I'd try an S12
Just bought this car, only $500 from some nice old couple in the country, new tires and everything.Now, it's no Caddy, but I think I would be pretty fun to pimp-out. Obviously I'm planning on getting rims, but I was also thinking of getting it raised a little bit.The only problem is that I read that this can make the handling a little worse, and the car already doesn't corner very well already.So, is it worth it? Would could I do to improve the handling?(another reason I want to raise it is because I keep hitting my goddamn head when trying to enter)
Yes you can improve the handling without fucking it up.First off, what year and model? From the pic I could've sworn it was a town car before I looked close.

it's an 87 Chrysler 5th avenue.
The magnum from the Ram drops right in, 5.9 literhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84YKsgcJWIsfor the handling I'd get a new set of struts, they've probably never been replaced and the average life for a set from the factory is about 50K

Hit up the junkyard for a Diplomat or Gran Fury cop car.Entire suspension will drop in.
what do you guys think?
Looks like a bunch of gaping assholes going out to Screw with people.Fucking puddle pirates.They used to save lives & help people,now they think they can fuck with people 24/7.
And yes,it's personal.Assholes tore my boat apart looking for "contraband".Didn't find shit,and cruised away leaving me with a destroyed boat that had to be towed in.My attorney said there was no point in suing for damages ($14,000 in repairs),the puddle pirates are protected from liability by federal law.
Just curious,anyone else had a run-in with these fuckholes?
So can anyone here actually drive? By that I mean have track/togue/autox/etc experience or is this board justfull of people looking for commuters. I'm asking because I'm pretty much the fastest in my region and we're wanting to expand.

I'd love to get to a track, and there are plenty that are relatively close. Same with AutoX events. I could go. But I'm a poorfag, and can't afford to drive there, then spend all day at the track/event, and drive back. Plus, my car hasn't been exactly running it's best lately.
If you want to be emberrassed by an 03 hyundai accent come to cali and I'll show you whats what
autoX/solo2/rally guy here. Havn't been out lately.i'm assuming OP is in europe/uk. Come to canada, there is tournaments everywhere.

ok, ive got a 91 escort gt, with the 1.8l bp engine, ive got a few mods, custom aluminum intake, exhaust, timing work, racing wires and plugs, pretty much the cheap stuff, yet i take it to the strips, runs 13.95 in the quarter. the expected time of the factory car is low 16`s. how the fuck did i manage a decent time like that, im actually confused.... answers?
thats about right for a car with that power to weight ratio..
What timing work did you do? that probably did it. I put that same engine in my ford aspire and it's kind of fun to drive now.

Hey guys, i have a 2000 chevy cavalier, and when i tried to turn it on, it wouldnt start.The sound it makes isn't the same as a dead battery. It just thuds, not like a whining sound, just a thudding sound.What could it be?Help /car/!

In order of probability..#1 Loose battery cable #2 dead battery #3 Large dead animal wrapped around fan.#4 your vehicle has partially slipped into an alternate reality.
I bought one of those heating-element mat thingy's, it keeps my butt warm in the cold winters here. The thing is, when I need my navigation system, I need my cigarette lighter, where the heater is also plugged in. So, now I want to split the cables of the cigarette lighter, making it so that I can use both the heater and the cigarette lighter at the same time, with an possibility off adding another heater. I think I know how to go about doing this, but I'd like the professional opinion of a proper fuel-head. Anyone done something similar before? Tips, advice, do's and don'ts?Thanks in advance /car/.

Just buy a splitter/adapter that plugs into your cigarette lighter, instead of being a fuckwit and trying to split a wire that provides constant (depending on the car) power. Doing that will most likely end in a short circuit that would render your cigarette lighter and other accessories (and maybe your car, depending on how the circuits are wired) useless. You can get a splitter at your local walmart (or equivalent), or an auto parts store for a few bucks.shitty troll is shitty

>>6208the wires behind the cigarette lighter aren't under constant power, I know its possible to split 'em, and it just looks better to do so. I'm just looking for some pro-tips. Kind of comparable: I have 6 speakers on a radio for 4, works like a charm. Not sure if it's the same with this kind of thing though.

Don't plug too many things into the cigarette lighter or you'll start blowing fuses. It's probably only 10 amps. I would wire the heating pads to another circuit to distribute the load, and you could keep the navigation system plugged into the cig lighter.
So, was on the phone and going slow after an intersection. Guy behind me didnt like it and flashed me with high-beams repeatedly... nearly blinding me.Of course I did what came natural, I slowed down to nearly a stop. Pissed him the fuck off.Question: Even if he has license plate he cant do shit right? I mean even if he has an insane-hookup or uncle who is a cop. His word against mine and even his word doesnt show any legal driving mistakes (possibly obstruction of traffic but I could argue it was a safety thing as he blinded me...)Probably wayy too much paranoia, dont usually get this but this one was different. The guy seemed to take his time even after I moved again and possibly wrote down my plate. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

dont sweat it man, I piss off rednecks who ride my ass and other shit all the time, never had it come back on me.
You never did it in front of me.You'd remember.Why not just get the FUCK out of the way?
Hey guys, looking into buying a VW bus (woot!) the one im currently looking at the owner said it runs fine the only problem is getting it started takes a minute or two-- does anyone know why this is? could the starter just be bad? if so how much would it be to replace it you reckon? Appreciate the input
Thanksgiving is coming up-- don't forget that the city dump is closed on Thanksgiving.
Depends what he means by "it takes a minute or two".Does it mean, "You'll spend a minute or two trying before it actually turns over", or, "It'll turn over but you gotta let that thing idle with yo' foot on the gas for a minute or two or it jus' gonna die."Makes all the difference.Any old Bus/Bug like that that hasn't been done up for performance needs to be treated kindly.I NEVER take out my Bug, even on a mild morning, without warming it up for 2 -3 minutes first.Cold days? It'll take on the first try, but if I try going anywhere without at least 5 minutes of idling, it'll just bog out and die. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>6179This. My bus likes a few minutes to warm up. It's good for it anyway. Wait until the choke has opened a bit. Starters are rebuilt cheaply if you find a send to company that does them and alternators.

Any cars you guys drool over? A particular example you really like? For me, it's this satin black Audi RS4 Avant. Damn, she's sexy. Wish I could find more about it, all I've seen is the same 3 pictures.
this probably deserves its own thread... BUT i lazied HOWEVERNow that you've got a nice car in mind, find a road.. search Transfăgărăşan on google maps.... hhollllyyyy roMANIA!

/car/ Why are people that work at DMV's such fucking assholes?This bitch at my local one is a fucking trip, she hated her job so she takes it out on everyone that comes in, my brother took a online driving course and passed and went up there today to take the test and was denied and even threatened with some kind of "fraudulent" charges. The fuck?
They hate humanity.
Sucks for "your brother". But seriously OP, where do you live? In Illinois at least they are decent people. As a whole DMV workers here seem more bored than malevolent. The one by where I lived got totally overhauled and is relatively efficient considering it is government run

The california DMV is truly hell on earth.
Sup /car/ been driving for a couple years but I just purchased my first ride. 1997 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL. ~100K miles, for 7,000$ One owner, spotless carfax. So. Psyched. (Pic very related, same exact thing, except I have different rims)

Have fun OP, don't die.
Lol 7 grand for the base model FWD shit heap.Enjoy the DSM sports car reliability on your SL people mover, OP.And you over paid by about 3 grand.
You got ripped the fuck off OP. This is just the first page of listings for the particular car in my local news paper classified ads. Fuck from the looks of it I could get the VR4 version for $5000.
OP hereI kno 7K was steep but it wasn't a private seller, it was a dealership. Also, I had them put in a new stereo system, so that accounts for a bunch of it. Plus now I get free oil changes and tire rotations every 5000 miles.I've been loving the thing so far. In the past week i've only seen ONE other one...it's good to be original
