NA Miata with 120 original miles? Sounds perfect to me

Yeah, there's no reason it should cost more than a fully specced ND

Ladies and gentlemen. The cancer of the car community.

 

 

1. Petrol stations not having LPG for you, use petrol, and stop blaming the car?

2. Fix that shit?

3. Get new keys?

4. Christmas Tree? Now you're just trying to be funny. Reset that warning, just look it up on the internet, it's so fucking simple.

5. Consumes too much oil? Get a new car.

6. Don't like the looks? Get a different car.

7. No power? Get a stick shift, or a lighter car, or a car with more power? Try my MK1 Ford Mondeo and you'll feel the No Power Life...

8. The car you drive changes your personality? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

9. Keep your fingers on your steering wheel? Do you even know how to drive?

10. Went to the rice avenue and it still doesn't look good? No wonder why...

He finally blew up the Miata

Also I'm buying the Horizon 3 Expansion pas later today while I can still get a discount for being a Ultimate Edition owner. First expansion is all snow based which is my favorite

Will that still be on sale on the 12th of December? Because that's probably the only day I can buy it...

I think that's the last day it's on sale for the pass. Which is normally $35 ($25 for me because Ultimate Edition)

 

But the two main expansions will either be $20 or $25 each (Can't remember how much Storm Island was on Horizon 2)

[RevoltTrain]

Surprised no one has posted this so far 

 

 

[RevoltTrain]

AON and AKI ratings are the same aren't they?

 

According to some Saab forums if I put in 90 grade or better the car will tune itself for another 3 or 4 psi of boost, so I think it's worth the little extra bit of money

[chaozbandit]

@JoaoPRSousa @RevoltTrain I want to buy the expansion but I can't justify spending that money on a game I'll barely play, especially with Assetto Corsa's latest DLC and a few other sims.

 

On a plus side, I'm glad they have Pastrana's 2016 STI rally car in the game now. Having just photographed it on Saturday and witnessed it in action on the stages in the forest, it's definitely a beast of a car.

It's so beautiful 

 

I usually only buy one game a year that I will play, last year and early this year was GTA V, this year and next will be Horizon 3. So the extra bit of money on one game is worth it if it keeps me from buying a ridiculous amount of other games

It's even more beautiful on the stages in the forests. The way the exhaust note bounces off the trees, and how quickly the boost builds through the rev range... it's unreal. I thought the antilag in our (SRT-Canada) car was impressive, but SRT-USA's car is a whole different world. It's an exhaust note I can't really describe, other than saying it doesn't have the rumble of an EJ257 but when it's at full boost during launch control it's like a suppressed SR. Then he releases the handbrake and it climbs through the gears like a 600CC sport bike. No waste gates, no whistle of the turbos - just instant throttle pickup.

 

Or at least that's how I remember it. I so badly wish I got more photos of it but there just wasnt time in the day. @MEC-777 On the first pass of Old Detlor, Pastrana came around the corner at the top of 2nd gear fully lit, and I caught a facefull of snow and gravel. All my gear covered, camera and lens turned brown. But man, it was unreal.

 

Vermont Sportscar's rally creations are things you truly have to see to believe. The Launch Control show is merely a gateway into this world...

This!

Okay, FINALLY getting a car this Saturday. Even took work off for the day so I could go with my dad to look at cars (and I think the whole process takes a few hours as well so...)

 

I have like $2,700 saved up but my dad says he wants me to have a good running car so he is going to help me out with the financing. I just don't really know what car I want, and my dad is asking me as well.

 

I would love a WRX but that price is out of the question, even if it is my favorite car. The only WRX I'll be finding is salvage title ones with tons of miles on CL.

 

I was thinking of a Miata since they're relatively abundant, especially ones that have manual transmissions. But I can't really think of anything else that I want. Maybe a 3-series but they get expensive to maintain after a while, not really any with low miles either. I couldn't really find any other Subarus like the Legacy or anything either.

 

Any ideas? I guess my buying range is anywhere from $5K to $10K. Probably best to keep the price low though. The only thing I REALLY want is a manual transmission. Other than that I don't really care as long as it's not a Civic or something. I'll probably be getting it from a dealership if anything.

Is that that car they had with the really really stupid cheap turbo setup? If so, glad to know my car can take quite a beating before it dies lol

Miata is a good choice, look at some Z3's if you want to go German, and you can find some honda s2000 for that price but they usually have high mileage. That is all I can think of right now but if i think of any more ill tag you.

He backyard turbo'd this NA almost a year ago now, the Haggard $150 turbo car hasn't blown up yet either

 

But he actively tried to blow this engine up for about a month, was driving it as hard as he could for a long time without the serpentine belt, alternator, water pump, all of that, and it refused to die

I think my pickup (or my what is left of a pickup) has a main seal leak, I noticed a puddle of oil under it and I looked and it's leaking about 1 drop of oil every second or two, I've been poking around and the only option seems to be take out the engine and replace the thing, that's a problem, I can't take the engine out myself and I don't have any friends, I am NOT selling the truck and I don't want to pay someone ∞ amount of money to do it, I found a Main Seal Leak repair thing, pour it in the oil and it fixes it, but that is only for minor leaks, any advice?

sorry man, but if you are sure it's the main seal (make sure it's nothing from above leaking downwards) then you're gonna have to change it. A repair thing may slow the leak or stop it temporarily but with a leak that big you have to change it

 

This happened to my dad once with his G35. Sad times

Ew I don't like the Z3 at all. The S2000 is pretty nice but I don't have that many good experiences with Hondas (the CRV we used to have was pretty poopy and underpowered).

 

The car doesn't necessarily have to be a coupe or convertible, just a regular car.
