No AC, no Motor, two tires missing. snapped axel, screwed up suspension.

Thats actually the car we worked on in autoshop...

I'm getting a Civic EX 2006. I can't sell it. Not too bad.

The suspension was someone removed the bolts holding it when we were trying to remove the engine, we had to drop the frame to remove the engine, and we clearly had to cut the break lines to and such to remove it. We are currently disassembling the engine. Oh and that hood is just being held in place by gravity in the photo, it went to a guy to be fully scrapped. And if you want a no sh*t Sherlock, it's impossible to drive the car in its state shown in the photo.

Funnest thing to waste my time on in Auto.

Im driving a blue Nissan Pulsar SSS N15 S2, 2000 model i think it is. sexy little car. me and Vlatko are doing minor stuff to it, mostly interior stuff, such as painting a few panels and stuff. im getting my windows tinted on monday. theres very little performance wise i can do to it, cause of the restrictions in australia, all thats been done to it for performance, is 2.5 inch Extractors and a 3 inch exhaust. ill be investing money into the car over the next couple of years that im on a probationary license. i wanna get all the fabrics reupholstered at one point, but that will be a long time away, the next thing ill be tackling is saving up for some wheels.

i wanna change the colour of my lights in my dash, but i cant seem to get it right, last bulbs i bought were too damn small for the holders, and the packs are like 20$ from ebay, and i dont really have the money to throw 20$ around for trial and error....

also, yes its a manual :D, ill post pics of it eventually. when i get the tints done me and vlatko were gonna take some pictures anyway

Have fun with the insurance.

I was looking at Ducati Monster 956 and Kawaski Ninja. Cheap for how fast they can go. Kawaski Ninja is one of the fastest street legal bikes and is 17,999
Too bad the insurance can buy me a a brand new BMW after a year

All I have is a 2006 Honda Civic EX

(http://images.wheels.ca/winnipeghonda//6H005946-1sm.jpg)

^ Looks exactly like that.
Little to no problems. Just my uncle installed the xenon lights wrong so one light is brighter than the other. I'm planning on getting a Mugen Body Kit and a new intake if my mom doesn't kill me for doing so.

Yeah, that sucks, my mates got an N14 in Queensland and he's Gina mental with it, he just spent more money on a Jap Spec SR20 import than he did on the car...

Well right now dad's car is a Ford Falcon BF 2005 model, N/A (non turbo), engine power is like 190kw (which isn't bad).
Picture is not of my car but one that looks similar, picture does not do justice..
(http://117.53.175.169/CarPhotos/factory/photos/F4V05J.jpg)

Anyway I am turning 18 soon which I get my provisionary license which means I can finally drive (so many restrictions though), I do not think dad will give me the car anymore like it was planned (long story), I will be able to drive it whenever I want and count it as my own though. However when I finish school I want to get a job and save up for my own car as if I have to go to work and uni all the time I can't rely on getting lifts and/or taking the car as dad has work as well. Anyway right now I have my eyes set on a Subaru Liberty RS Wagon, just as we are not allowed turbos on our provisional license unless for a family car (4door) its 125kw per tonne and coupe/sports car (2door) 100kw per tonne. I worked out the numbers and the subaru only puts out 112kw/tonne so I could fill out a form and get an exemption (if they pass it and **** which I don't see why they wouldn't).
(http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk16/AutoIndulgence/Projects/1993SubaruLibertyRS/103_8107.jpg)
Once again the photo does not do justice as I couldn't find a good one.

I may not even get the liberty as I may change the mind that I don't want the turbo (fuel and insurance and stuff will cost more) and in that case well there thousand other cars I want.

edit: my dream car has always been a Nissan Silvia (preferably s13-14, s15 aren't really my favourite/preferrable)

I'll have magnetic p plates. That's usually what they get ****ed about, "nerrrrrr I can't see your p plate through your tints duuuuuuuuur, so imma write you a ticket hurrrrrr" so to combat their absolute retardation, I'm getting magnetics that'll be on the outside of the car.

Edit: like Vlatko my dream car is a Silvia also xD but I can't see myself getting one anytime soon cause my pulsar has the same engine in it. I'm looking at mayb a supra when I'm off my p's, regardless me and Vlatko are gonna mod it to the shithouse xD

Australian police can't do anything about verbal abuse anymore. They changed the law, freedom of speech and all that poo. Basically now, you can rip into them as muh as you want (obviously they'll fine you more) but they can't chuck you in jail or take your license away anymore.

Ok
We where on our way back from dinner, and at a red stoplight a black Acura was in front of us. In front of that Acura was a corolla.

This lady, in the Acura, just for no reason, smashes into the corolla. Then she starts reversing and rams into OUR car.

She starts driving recklessly stupid onto my street and pulls over at her house.
My uncle,grandpa(driving),mom and aunt get out of the car and start yelling at he rbecuase of what she did.
she was clearly on meds or drunk or something.

She said 'you guys reversed into MY car'. Then the popo showed up after like 10 minutes of her saying stupid ****. We didn't care about the damage, we where worried she would hit someone.
The police tested her and found out she was on meds, and distracted because she dropped her lipstick.

We just went home after the cops let us go. Stupid drivers.

Some people need to get a kick to the head sometimes.. me and my mates always talk about stupid/idiot drivers whenever we are going somewhere, just because NO ONE knows how to drive these days! I swear they just give away licenses like they are flyers to a pizza opening or something... also no one knows how to park either, they all park sideways in their square or right on the line so you can't get out of the car -.-

Parallel Parker's.... I'm not saying I'm confident in my parallel, I avoid it, but my instructed said I have one of the better parallels he's seen, it's really not that hard. All it is, is people are lazy, but I hate people that break before they're in their lane to turn.

On my magnetic p plates note, Rey won't stick anywhere xD cause the only place with space are plastic. (front lip and rear lip) an I'm not putting a p plate on my bonet, I'd rather not have a car. So, I'm gone wing it with the p's on the window til I get pulled up and they tell me to fix my ****. Then I'll do something about it xD

Also, I'm getting a scratch fixed for free *fist pump*

I don't see one either.
Then again I don't care much for mustangs.
The newer ones are ok, but the 2003-2008 is so common, I see camry's and accords less often.
And the only mustangs i liked before the current ones where the Boss Mustangs. The first mustangs are too girly looking.
I prefer Camaro, Dodge Challenger and Charger, Oldsmobile Cutlass, Ford Falcon, in my muscle car book.

Doors are ****, akward at the back

The dash is ****, its all aimed at the driver, so if you dont like the music, too **** bad.

It's dash is ****, its so outwards
The lights are ****
The dash is ****, its all aimed at the driver, so if you dont like the music, too ****ing bad.

If it was owned by a rich person, get that oil changed RIGHT NOW! Rich people are always the ones who refuse to do any maintenance unless it breaks, and the oil is usually dry or thicker than the white stuff sliding down your throat! D:

I know, my uncles corolla is a heap of garbage. But I don't expect any car I get to last long.
The insurance is cheap on this [5 star safety tests and it's a 4 door 2008 toyota] and since it's the U.S.' best selling car, I can find soup-up parts anywhere.
Im not gonna rice it up, but I do want to change the radio, darken the lights and do paint if I get money. Silver sucks.
If I can find a light body kit maybe yes, but nothing like ricertastic with huge spoiler. I'd like a little lip on the trunk and maybe lower the suspension, thats enough.
I have the inner midnight club in me to do these ghetto things.

Canadians pay more for no reason on Abrath.
We pay $5 less for base.
whats this.

Good example of Canada to US price problems is this:
Honda Pilot in Canada is 35 grand base, only 30 grand US.
Alot, not all, cars in the US are cheaper.
Volkswagens, Hondas, BMWs, Mercs, the Abrath, some Chryslers & Dodges, Fords like the Taurus and Explorer, GM cars, etc.

Well your moniez are worth less than USD, which explains a lot, and certain vehicles are made in canada so import fees shave some money off the price. Like how the voilkswagen van, Chrysler/dodge/ram are made in canada, and certain ferds and chebys are also made in canada.

the raptor is meh tier when compared to the Ram runner, though that's more like aftermarket stuff, it does handle offroad better than the ferd, but the fer raptor is meant for mostly on road usage with some offroading. ._.

I would buy that if I was a millionaire, and put spinners and make it unnecessarily flashy.

Did you get that raptor thing from MotorTrend Head-To-Head? Because they said that exact thing.

I like the raptor because I got sick of the dodge ram when I was a kid, I like the F-150 as my favorite truck.

I would buy a Ford/Hennessy Velociraptor, like 200 more hp pumped out, and it rides the same.

I'f get an international MXT, which is what the ferd f650 is based on, but the international has better interior as the ferd f650 is meant for hauling booze, not showing off your money.

I didn't know they did a head to head with them, nor do I read mt, lol. I can just tell by looking at them, the raptor is set up for offroading and the ferd is set up for mostly road with some offroading which is really what everyone who lifts their truck does.

The new ferds look uninspired, the engines are a mechanical nightmare as they are shoved way into the firewall, requiring more headache than it's worth, and the engines aren't all that great either.

I prefer Ram. Great looks, better MPG's than ferd or cheby, way better interior, and a great ride as well.

Though I am waiting to see what the redesigned cheby brings, as I kind of like the retro look to it, but I wish they would give it a complete overhaul instead of a face lift.

It's really just a better suspension and fat tires that make the raptor somewhat offroadable, although the interior leaves something to be desired. ._.

Only ferd I would possibly enjoy is the flex as it reminds me of those old wagons/shooting brakes you would see surfers riding.

I loved the last gen and I'm still waiting to see the final form of the new one before I make any decision as they always change from concept to final somehow. Looks neat so far.

If I had the money at the moment, I'd go out and buy a Mazda B-series and body it. Might as well have both! The only real appearance part I like about the Raptor is the grill. The suspension is of better quality, but I don't think it's much off from a GM pickup with Z71 package.

Actually I've seen cover in use, the lights go through very well.
Espiecally this one, it doesn't cover most of the Brake Light, Turn Signal and Reverse Light. which is why I like.

I really want my camry to have a white/black color scheme like the one in my pic, but I don't know how to paint, where to repaint. Mines is silver.

They are pretty crap from what I've seen.

You need a specialized room with an air filter so no dirt/hairs/stuff ruin the paint job. Then you blast your car with sand until the paint is gone, then you put on a base coat, and put a few coats on it, then primer, then you let it dry for a few months, charge the car owner about 8k for very little work, and go home enjoying the fact that your con worked. :u

They are pretty crap from what I've seen.

You need a specialized room with an air filter so no dirt/hairs/stuff ruin the paint job. Then you blast your car with sand until the paint is gone, then you put on a base coat, and put a few coats on it, then primer, then you let it dry for a few months, charge the car owner about 8k for very little work, and go home enjoying the fact that your con worked. :u

Lol it's a lot more complicated than that. When you're paying for an 8k paint job, you're paying for at least $1500 in materials, but probably closer to 2k. And prep work isn't as simple as blasting things with sand. It's a lot of tedious details to make sure that the surface is flawless so what you're spraying actually sticks to it lol.

That's why you sand it in a special area that has clean air so nothing can get in to stick to it. >_>

It doesn't matter where you sand it lol as long as it's prepared to the point where it should be. What matters most is the environment it's in between that last coat of paint and your clear coat. That's when whatever gets on it will show through the clear.

If something gets on it you just sand it out and buff the area, its what car manufacturers do. :u

Camaro too.

I hate how chevrolet is fasing out the SS.
They should go out with a bang, and make some super-sexy SS. Like a new Impala SS with the Corvette LT1 v8 in it, like the old impala SS.
Or a Cruze SS that makes that crapbox look good and preform good.

Camaro has a convertible, and have had it for some time now. 2-3 years I think, cuz one guy bought the first one for 250k in 2010.

It's like how Dodge is fazing out the R/T models now that they have SRT. It saddens me greatly, for the R/T models always have the best looks and are the best bang for your buck.

Also, speaking of impala, cheby will be replacing it with a new generation, but will sell the current gen along side the new one for a couple more years.

More accuratley
They are holden commodores, exported to US. Stick a fancy pontiac badge on it, call it "G6"
Then they take some of those, stick a fancy chevrolet badge on it and call it "New Caprice"

GMs new motto should be "Badge Engineered"

Actually, they changed pontiac stuff when they imported it so much, they it way worse and more expensive.

The body changed, the suspension gets changed to a more murikan suited one, and much moar. GM ruined pontiac by removing all the muscle cars and trying to make it an expensive grocery getter.

And pontiac always managed to squeeze more performance out of their cars using the same equipment that cheby had, which was lulzy.

I want a last gen GTO now. ;_;

We all do. GM fucked up getting rid of pontiac instead of GMC.

GMC has no purpose. Cheby handles the trucks and SUV/Cross overs, Buick handles luxury, and cadillac handles performance luxury. Pontiac meanwhile was a performance brand that had all it's performance cars removed except one, and even then the GTO got ruined when they changed it up and made it so bland even Pontiac fans had a hard time distinguishing it from other boring cars.

I think GM should replace GMC with pontiac or just cut it. GMC is a pointless brand right now. I think they could make Pontiac into a small brand aimed at pure performance and even make cheap performance cars to rival the Dart and the Scion Xb Supercharged, or the STi.

Or another firebird for the challenger/mustang/camaro thing, like it used to be in the late 60s/early 70s.
GMC's cars are all mostly badge-engineered chevys.

They had the GTO but it failed because they made it so horrendously bland, it outperformed all the other muscle cars in pretty much every aspect but it looked so bland no one bought one.

They really needed a new body style guy to make them more edgy and hip.

GMC sierra has only the headlights as different in the facelift 2014 models, every other previous year they were just the grill and badge. That's why GMC is struggling right now, there's nothing different between GMC and cheby. Buick has some pretty sweet cars and the new GNX looks good, cadillac is even beating out BMW is performance right now, and supposedly the ATS is a viable competitor to BMW luxury.

They need to decide on what to do with GMC soon, cuz it's becoming a money pit.

Well no one ever gets the higher trim packages when getting a Toyota, they just go pay a premium for a lexus.

Also, toyota and lexus have had some of the highest amounts of recalls the past couple years. How long before they go the way of GM?

The new viper looks nothing like the old viper,
The new corvette looks more like a new corvette, not a totally new car.
It's still bulky at the back and everything.
Also since they put abs and all this safety stuff in it, its not a true viper, vipers are supposed to be deadly and crazy :V

I love the corvette too much to admit its a bad car. Fine the front looks like a viper but the back doesn't.

The vipers looks a lot like the old one, they just changed the hood so it open like a car hood and not a truck hood, and they had to put all that stuff in cuz of laws. They really didn't do much to it besides a little facelift, the vette seems to be almost a redesign so far.

The viper still has moar power right now, the interior is actually better and not cheap plastic, which shouldn't be anywhere on a car that costs 100k~ or so, unless you get the race version which is barebones viper meant for those who will be making it a track whore, the GTS is for your average owner who wants AC and leather interior and such so they can daily drive it.


So far the viper is best, even jay leno agrees. :u

The FRS/BRZ is underpowered and riddled with problems, and the genesis is unreliable and korean.

Also, if you know how to take care of an RX-7, no problems.
300zx some problems. but was the fastest.
Supra was invincible.
Corvette C4 was prone to rust. Good looking though.


FRS
Ever been in one?
Most fun ever.
I think thats why it won like motortrend, top gear, road & track, car & driver awards.

its really really good. Like I urge you to try it. Even if you hate Japanese cars, it shows you don't need money and power to have fun.

Wether you like to admit it or not, Japanese cars where good a few times. That's a fact. I'll agree some american cars where too, but Japan had a few amazing entries.
The Skyline Series. [Not in the US though D:]
Datsun 240z. May have copied Jaguars looks, but was a great car., helped nissan actually exist as a company in the US.
Toyota Corolla Sprinter Trueno, AE86. Inspired drifters, and is a drifting legend despite it's mundane looks.
300zx, super fast, super cheap [for what you get]. Still the fastest Z car. Better lap times than competitors, The Corvette, The RX-7, the supra, etc. also in the top 10 'most beautiful car awards' as being the best looking car of the late 80s.
Miata, shows fun doesn't have to come at a price.
So does the FRS/BRZ.

Cars can have problems, but japanese cars aren't even that hard to repair. Just as easy as American ones, most are built in the US.

You have to red line the RX7 otherwise you broke the engine.



The FRS has tranny and electrical and a plethora of other issues, so you DO need money to have fun with one, otherwise it becomes a 26K paperweight.

So far the miata still bests the FRS is handling and performance, and the brostang/bromaro/challenger all have more power and nicer interiors than the FRS, and the bromaro zr1 thing handles just as well as japanese sports mobiles, and they are more reliable, unless you get the 8 speed dodge. They are made by a 3rd party and have issues that are almost bad enough to warrant a recall. Almost.

The FRS is a letdown when you realize that toyotas are supposed to be reliable and powerful and it isn't, it's only good at handling. :c

I am still waiting for a BRZ Sti though.

I don't like the american muscles, because It's not what I'm into. I was never really into per-formance built cars, more into street cars turned into performance.
I see the American Muscle cars everywhere, and they are advertised everywhere. I guess I'm a car hipster, though I'm getting america's best selling car.
I like the early 2000s Camaro. I like the 1995-2004 Mustangs. I never really was that big of a fan of the challenger, and I like the Charger/300c.
Pick-up trucks wise.
I'd never buy one, but if I had to i'd buy an F-series. I don't know why, I used to hate them. I guess I like the way the new one looks.
Car wise.
If I was rich up the ass I'd have classic Japanese cars like the 240z, and every Skyline, every Celica. I'd like the Corvette C1, Ford Thunderbird, Chevy Bel-Air, Impala 1964.
Modern cars. BMW 7-series, Rolls-Royce Phantom and Maybe that Toyota Sequoia, Audi Q7. Nissan GTR, Lambo Aventador. Every other supercar is meh. 1950s Mercedes 500SL 'gullwing'.
Subaru Impreza, all of them. Lancer, all of them. Few Subies and Lancer rally-spec tuned. Volkswagen Corrado. 2002 Anniversery Camaro, 1992 Camaro I-ROC, 1986 Firebird Trans Am Cherry Red,Chevrolet Corvette C2,3,4,5,6,7. Ford Mustang Cobra, 2002.  Kawasaki Ninja, Ducati Monster 500R bikes. Sileighty... Wish I could get one of those.

These are the cars I wish I could own, drive, see IRL. It would be in my car collection. I don't care how weird the choices are.

Ignore the problems. I like the FRS, I don't care if it has problems, I wouldn't buy one. I prefer my sedans over my coupes.

The V6's arent performance cars, they are economical cars in a performance looking body. If you mod the ferd mustang V6 the transmissions explodes cuz it cant handle power.

The V8's aren't always performance either.

Also, the phantom is meant to be driven around in, not to be driven, the ghost is meant to be driven however.


Best sedan you think is still for sale right now that you would buy if you had the moniez (you would still be paying insurance and fuel and maintenance mind you, so no rolls)

I prefer my cars with a performance engine and a economic body. sleepers.
Like Impala SS or Honda/Acura Legend

Best sedan...
hmm
New Camry is bad now.
I heard new Accord was good.
New Fusion looks good but I don't like Ford.
Charger/300c is like throwing your money in the fire when it comes to gas, but they are good.
Mazda 6's current one is lame, next model is coming with turbo diesel, want that. This year.
Volkswagen Passat is meh
BMW 5 series is too expensive, and bland unless you add an M to it.
Mercedes E-Class is too expensive and bland unless you coupe it up.
Lexus ES looks amazing, but I bet its same old same old.
Infiniti M never interested me.
Chevy Malibu. I would never buy one. Impala is bland to me.
Cadillac CTS is boring unless it's CTS-V
Lincoln... lol
Buick... lol
Nissan Altima's newest one is kinda akward. Maxima is good.

Either Maxima,Charger or Accord. I implied you said midsized, so most are midsized, bu maxima and charger are full. If gas price was lower Charger/300c.

Adding a fart cannon to your acura doesnt make it a performance vehicle, it makes it annoying.


The chargers with the pentastar V6 are pretty good on gas actually, just underpowered.

I heard hondas are overpriced for what you get as of the last couple years.

I would get a Volvo S60, my aunt got a new 2012 base model as a loaner while her XC70 was being fixed after her suspension esploded. Once I put the seat on the floor so my head didnt hit the roof it was glorious. Dat 4 cylinder roar, dat glorious body design, dem safety features, dat dash. So good~

I will probably wind up getting a volvo myself someday. Though I will avoid the ones made between 2001 and 2010 as ferd owned them and the quality/reliability became non existent.

I think Japan has realized that no one who buys their cars does actual performance mods and just puts body kits and tinted brake lights on them so they don't even bother making good cars anymore, their users will do the work for them. ;_;

I wish the RX8 was an actual 2 door so it would be roomier and more tall friendly so I could own one.

Also this is the front

It has a straight 6cylinder 4L motor under the hood. And dad bought this as a family car in 2005. I prefer this instead of a ute as I hae no need for a ute. This has more space and can carry more passengers.

It's not so much space that I need, like a ute, just more I can carry more than 1 passenger, big boot space and ****. Which this car is perfect.

And because dad works at ford so he gets discount on fords. Ive always owned a ford in the family ever since I was little so I grew to love them. I somewhat prefer fords > holden because holden are like the redneck car of Australia, because they are cheap and easy to modify and **** so all the cheap asses (we call them bogans in australia, similar to rednecks I guess) have their holdens slammed on 20" wheels with their australian southern cross stickers on the rear window and it looks kinda... scummy.. And because I can't drive a v8 on my P plates (as you can see in the photos). In Australia it's a probationary license (you get it when your 18) and limited to what you can drive and **** (guessing so you dont have new drivers on the road with such powerful cars to hoon around and kill themselves faster, even though you can do that in any car really..)

Don't tell an Australian Ford/Holden to switch to the other side.
It's the biggest rivalry in the auto world, Ford vs Holden.
Ford AUS and Holden are very different from their American counterparts. Unlike The US, they run this country and aren't outclassed and outsold by Japanese cars because Ford and GM treats them as separate companies.

Yeah pretty much haha. I really don't mind to be honest, I love Fords but Holdens are nice as well (the more expensive holdens and what not), it's just that every 2nd kid here owns a crappy holden as they are only worth like $2000, compared to most cars (like Fords which are $12k-15k for the crappier models)

Big rivarly.
and Ford and Holden operate alot differently. Thats probably why holden isn't mentioned everytime GM needs a bailout from the U.S. Gov.
Holden wants to get out of GM, but they need that money.
Holden is granted money for good cars, while GM takes/gives some cars to Holden.
GM Just reaps Caddillacs,chevy,buick,etc.

Ford gives money to Ford AUS to make cars, and Ford USA/Europe gets some profits.

But these two operate differently.
So mech wise the ferds are different there.

But holdens so much better, and eventually you will want to mawd your automocar for MOAR POWAH! and smoke everyone all day err day.

Plus ferds suck mang.

lolwut?
Hahahahaha what you saying Fords don't make smoke? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NreI_XqpHGE xD Nah but Fords are up to par with Holden, it's mainly just your preference on style/feel otherwise if you got enough money for the top dollar ford/holden here (FPV/HSV) they will pretty much be the same speed. They both modify the same, the only reason most people like holdens is because you can get a cheap $2000 one and drop like $10k on the engine and you have a car that "will smoke everyone" (even though it wont). Well that's what it's like here in Australia, finding a cheap Ford Falcon is pretty rare (compared to holdens). Though stock/brand new they are pretty much the same.

Well when one car sells more, and theres more of them, value goes down on resale because there's so many. :\

It sounds like Holden bogans are civic ricers. They buy a cheap civic, drop 10K into mawdz, and then cant smoke a minivan, but act like tough shiz.

They aren't always.
A few times they needed the money.
And Holden needs GM for the more popular SUV market in Australlia.
The big sedan and ute market is way cooler, but the suv market is way more needed.

Yeah pretty much, Holdens are the australian version of civics. But yeah, Holdens are great for burnouts and skids (they easily lose traction and that sorta stuff, been in many stock holdens which spin easily), but aren't that powerful to actually go fast. Unless you start dropping in lots of money on them.

Idk, my knowledge only extends to that fact that GM supplies Holden with the goods and SUVs, and Holden keeps on making some sexy full-size monsters.
also they way they work right now, its guaranteed that they will last aslong as GM does, even longer.
If holden goes alone it might go bad.

They are only making 5-6 and they are probably for volvo execs.

Though when Polestar becomes its own brand off volvo, prepare for some sexy speedy wagons.
I LOVE Polestar's color scheme too, that blue and black.

polestar is actually a raceteam that uses volvos, volvo just teamed up with them to design the polestar version, it aint an in house mod team like amg or m division, its more like hennesey.

i do believe that blue is available on any volvo, as the black interior is what was on the one my auny had for a little while.

For someone that works with them nearly every week, I can tell you that is the exact opposite of what it does, unless you got a **** sub or you've tuned your system for 90% bass and 10% highs then yeah it will drown it out, most people bump the bass boost and all that **** and that's why it seems to drown everything else out. Plus my amp has a volume knob control that I'm going to route to the front so I can put as much bass as I feel like, whether it's to show the potential of the subs or just a little bit of bass. Don't worry I'm not one of those people who have the bass all the way windows down, no mids/highs and just rattle everything.

^ Regular.

There is a reason why the full-size has 7 seats and the regular sport has 5 seats.

The Range Rover Sport is a different SUV, The Range Rover is an SUV.
The naming is stupid but it'd be like this:
Range Rover:
Brand: Land Rover/Range Rover
Car Name: Range Rover

Range Rover Sport:
Brand: Land Rover/Range Rover
Car Name: Sport

The Sport is a 5 seater mid-size, the Range Rover is full size, its just slightly smaller than a suburban.
It's confusing but yea, Range Rover is tallker, has different front and tail lights, and different vents.

Point is Range Rover Sport is not a Trim of the Range Rover, it's a completely different smaller car.

the sport IS  a trim package. they removed the rear seats to cut weight, its lower to make it handle better, and supercharged to go faster. just cuz it has a couple different vents doesnt make it a different car, thats like saying the bromaro zr1 is a different car cuz it has a hood scoop.


if you want a large suv, buy a highlander, larger than any H2. D:

This is the biggest thing Toyota makes, and I've seen it, It is slightly taller than the suburban, and titanic.

Other Full Sizes: Audi Q7, Toyota LandCruiser, Suburban, Escalade EXT, Nissan Armada [god this thing is big], Mercedes GL [probably the smallest full-size]

Don't get a supra because the PO's have treated it like a race car and beat it to hell and back, and it will become a money pit as you realize every "sik mawd yo" they did to it was improperly installed or jerry rigged, or just about to shatter and cost you thousands in repair.

You won't find one that hasn't been abused, as all teens buy them and beat them up, even if it is stock, it's been doing neutral drops/burn outs for days showing off, and lots of red light racing and general abuse, and if it was woman owned, the oil has probably never been changed or had any added. It's also a cop magnet so you will be pulled over quite often.

Buy a car that other assume to be a slow, non chav mobile, and make it a sleeper with a tarbo at 25PSI for maximum overtroll!

I get pulled over on a constant basis as it is now, with my Pulsar. mainly because, it does have the same engine, and sound, that Silvia's and S13's 14's and 15's have. Im gonna get pulled over regardless, cause of my probationary license. only 2 years left then i can drive whatever the hell i want. but regardless. just having that green P on my windscreen warrants and Officer to pull me over and interogate me.

yeah i noticed that.......

holdens are more of a cop magnet around here than your general JDM car. mainly because theyre highly affordable and you can thrash them to the shithouse and they wont crumble.

Exactly the term JDM gets slung around like a Singaporean prostitute at a frat party.

JDM Doesn't mean
honda civic yo yo i stuck some parts in here, now lets put some sticks that say jdm 4 liffeeee and cut the springs and paint it the colours of the jamican flag with pink and put a foghorn on the exhaust.

JDM is more like real true to life ****. With real JDM cars.

that isnt JDM. JDM is a lifestyle. to some a religion. you are NOT JDM if you crash your car from recklessness, you are JDM if you literally spend half your day, every day, looking after it and making sure it still drives and looks nice. JDM scene is almost like the showcar scene. you dont see people who have but thousands and sometimes tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars into their cars, to go sideways around a corner and wrap it around a pole.

JDM does not equal going sideways. JDM does not equal pulling 6's on the quarter mile. alot of people do this and claim theyre "JDM", its not....

that isnt JDM. JDM is a lifestyle. to some a religion. you are NOT JDM if you crash your car from recklessness, you are JDM if you literally spend half your day, every day, looking after it and making sure it still drives and looks nice. JDM scene is almost like the showcar scene. you dont see people who have but thousands and sometimes tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars into their cars, to go sideways around a corner and wrap it around a pole.

JDM does not equal going sideways. JDM does not equal pulling 6's on the quarter mile. alot of people do this and claim theyre "JDM", its not....

exactly....

you missed the point. and i dont believe there is a USDM scene? most people would throuw a focus or a fiesta close to the JDM scene because of similarities with Japanese cars
The owner of a 1k hp skyline had his skyline stolen while on vacation, the thief picked up chicks, went fast, hit a bump, and killed everyone when it was sliced completely in half after hitting a pole.

The second was a woman who had a 1400HP supra, which was stolen and taken to a chop shop and cut up.

There is a USDM scene, it's stuff like the focus and the... Impala? What was the FWD chebby that had the best nurburgring lap time? , or the Dart.

Murika has about 3 Car scenes. USDM, Muscle, and Truck. :u

You were talking about the two JDM scene cars I was referring to saying crashing them doesnt make them KDM, I was pointing out the owners didnt crash them.


30MPG fire chiken is best muscle car~


JDM is horrible body kits on 20HP engines. :\

Nobody ever said anything about putting bass systems or anything in your car.

JDM isn't something that can be easily defined, but it's a term for the passion of Japanese car culture, old and new. And I mean true Japanese car culture. On the outside cars in this culture can range from looking like plain stock cars with 700-1000hp monsters under the hood to having Body kits and team stripes and such.

A lot of JDM is tied with actual track racing, rather than street racing. Some is street racing, but they use actual tuned cars with actual parts like turbos and exhausts and such. None of that flea market it stuff, it has to be good grade stuff from companies like BBS, AEM, Brembo, HKS, etc. and installed properly.

Alot of it comes from the passion of working on the car yourself, doing engine swaps and taking apart the car and putting it back together.

(http://memberfiles.freewebs.com/49/90/40379049/photos/Ricer-Cars/ricer2gm.jpg)

Here is a diagram of a ricer.

Looks wise you can tell by the fake vinyl stickers, and brands of stuff, typically NOS, that aren't actually in the car. It has some stupidly flashy body kit with ugly ricer lights, and rims that can be found at the flea market.

JDM Car, Real Carbon Fibre parts, not painted black, and specially titled wing for aerodynamics. Probably modified engine, and isn't that flashy.


The real JDM is based off styling and stuff popular in the JAPANESE DOMESTIC MARKET

Fake JDM that you think is when people try to copy the Fast and Furious movies but don't modify anything about their car and sling the word around.

JDM isn't always restricted to japanese cars also, Porsches are very popular in JDM culture because of the availability in Japan.

JDM is like Subbed Anime. Straight out of japan with no changes but everyone can understand it.

The fake JDM is like some really ****ty Dub that changes everything about the anime. Those are ricers.

Nissan Skyline GTR always had 400hp.

Yes they are movies but the body kits and paint jobs are based on actual JDM scene cars, cuz as I said, in Japan they can't have power except for the very rich who can afford the couple sports cars Japan has, because of huge taxes on them and their engines. They instead have to focus of handling and drifting if they want performance, but most don't, so they instead make them art pieces with all their body kits and colored rubber and paint jobs which became poplar everywhere else because even the most car ignorant people could install them, and others think they are fast with body kits so it's a win win. :\

Dude, the Ram is for people who gets stuff done, the Silverado and Fteenthousand are mall crawlers and brotrucks.

Just because one car had power and was all about speed doesn't make every JDM car the same...

Datsun is a rebadged Nissan because that's the brand they decided to use to break into murikas car market, and in the worst decision in history involving cars, they changed datsun to nissan causing them to lose sales because people were confused and no one knew what was going on cuz no internets.

And I haven't heard of most of those cars. ._.

Datsun and Prince motors came to gether in the 1950s to form Nissan.
They struggled but they got grasp of the world market with the 1960s release of the Datsun 240z. They had rocky roads but current day they are doing alright. The don't have problems but they aren't selling the greatest. They are just a "car company" now. They used to work with Renault, as did Chrysler. Chrysler started seeing nissan as competition so they quit Renualt and moved on to Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi helped a bit but they wanted more independence. so now Chrysler worked by itself, almost going bankrupt until Benz bought them, yada yada, you know.

Alot of those cars aren't sold in the US.

Most of those are in the US, but the better cars are less known.

Legnum, Skyline and Chaser aren't sold in the US.

Starion is Chrysler Laser or something in the US, 3000GT is Dodge Stealth in the US,  Silvia S110 and S2 are Datsun/Nissan 200SX,  Silvia s13 with pop up headlights is 240sx, and Silvia S14 is Nissan 240sx.
they are slightly heavier and such, the JDM counterparts are preferred.

Alot of these cars are better in Japan. Subaru Impreza for example had better Turbos in Japan, because no import tax, Silvia had more trims, NSX was mad euntil 2005 with imporvments, and honda NSX > Acura Nsx, Acura NSX was heavier. Honda Intgera had better weight distrub. Etc.

Chrysler was actually doing OK because they bought out AMC and got Jeep, which boosted sales and they also got factories in mexico and canadia, which helped them out, MB bought them because they were buying a lot of murikan things, they even bought out Ferd heavy division and renamed it Sterling, and they bought out Freightliner and Canadas Western Star, but then the economy started going south and they left chrysler to it's own devices, and moved Western Star production to murika, and made Freightshaker/WS their main truck brands and the quality nose dived (WS is still top notch though) and Chrysler was bought out by Fiat, and now the quality is better than Cheby, except the 8 speed gearbox which is made by a 3rd party, it almost has enough problems to require a recall. Almost.


We can have Skylines in the US, and we do have them.

Isn't the stealth the Neon?

Never heard of the laser or the others aside from the 240.

The NSX is coming back this year I believe. Looked fat.

The Acura was heavier cuz Acura is the luxury brand so it has to have more luxury things to be luxurious to people. And the Acura symbol is the Honda H on acid.

the legnum is a bit of a power house. scares me sometimes. but all these cars are in my dream list of cars. ive had this conversation with my mother before, where she has said to me; "if i gave you 50 grand to get a car, you wouldnt go out and buy the supra you want or the silvia" my reply was; "actually, i would, id buy both, and still have 30 grand left over, which i would put into the cars. I would jdm the hell out of the supra, and turn the Silvia into a drift pig and hit the track up."

those cars will always have a place in my heart. i could easily add to that list aswell.

Well because women keep running over there kids here, car companies have way stricter safety standards in the US than anywhere else, so it's IMPOSSIBLE to make a cheap car here. Any car pretty much gets 1-2K tacked on the price to make up for the safety crap it has to go through to get sold here. It sucks man. We get nothing good in the US ever. :<

It looked very 90s ish, it was decently popular for a sports car.
Also really fast, was the indy pace car for a while, AWD V6 Twin-Turbo

Actually Acura NSX and Honda NSX where the same. The hand conversion and safety made it heavier.

Honda and Toyota are considered luxury in Japan, because the luxury cars are just named Toyotas and Hondas, but they have the same features.
Same goes for Nissan, but ever since the release of the GTR I think of Nissan as a little more upscale than those two, slightly.

holden and ford?
When you told me about what cars australlia gets, I got jelly.

I've only seen one skyline IRL, R33, someone nearby owned one.

Nobody imports in Canada, rarely ever. You cannot import a car that is newer than 15 years and you barely anyone bothers.
Because it's Canada, Canada is supposed to be safe and boring, not fun and exciting.

I go to US, and my uncles friend owns a Ferrari F430 and a Strawberry (S15), like wtfff, rich new yorkers.

I saw the ferrari, only pictures of the strawberry.

Also Canada has to pay more than the US.
Only Ford Edge, Dodge Caravan Family, Honda Civic, Chrysler 200, and some of those ugly lincolns are cheaper than normal here because no import tax -_-

America's top selling car is a full Size Pickup, then another full size pickup, and then a mid-size car.

Canadas is Compact (civic), Compact (Corolla), and Compact (Focus).

Its always the same thing too, nobody can afford nice cars ;-;
All the kids own a Acura EL which is luxury honda civic exclusive to Canada, Civic or Golf MK3

Also really fast, was the indy pace car for a while, AWD V6 Twin-Turbo

Actually Acura NSX and Honda NSX where the same. The hand conversion and safety made it heavier.

Honda and Toyota are considered luxury in Japan, because the luxury cars are just named Toyotas and Hondas, but they have the same features.
Same goes for Nissan, but ever since the release of the GTR I think of Nissan as a little more upscale than those two, slightly.
When you told me about what cars australlia gets, I got jelly.

I've only seen one skyline IRL, R33, someone nearby owned one.

Nobody imports in Canada, rarely ever. You cannot import a car that is newer than 15 years and you barely anyone bothers.
Because it's Canada, Canada is supposed to be safe and boring, not fun and exciting.

I go to US, and my uncles friend owns a Ferrari F430 and a Strawberry (S15), like wtfff, rich new yorkers.

I saw the ferrari, only pictures of the strawberry.

Also Canada has to pay more than the US.
Only Ford Edge, Dodge Caravan Family, Honda Civic, Chrysler 200, and some of those ugly lincolns are cheaper than normal here because no import tax -_-

America's top selling car is a full Size Pickup, then another full size pickup, and then a mid-size car.

Canadas is Compact (civic), Compact (Corolla), and Compact (Focus).

Its always the same thing too, nobody can afford nice cars ;-;
All the kids own a Acura EL which is luxury honda civic exclusive to Canada, Civic or Golf MK3


the pickups here get very similar mpgs to sedans, and canadas roads are nowhere near as bad/dirty as murikas so you dun need pickemup trucks.

i do admit that we do have alot more here than everywhere else. its hard to t drivve for an hour and not go passed a skyline, or an mr2, or a SR20. but its definitely not a buyers market.... everyone buys these cars (especially new drivers) and will either keep it forever, or write them off unfortunately. for cars that arent manufactured any more, the care that should be taken with them should be paramount...

I'm going next week.

My grandpa is giving me this car, he doesn't need it, it's his second car.
I am going to own it soon. Soon being as soon as I get my license, and I can drive wherever i want.
I don't even care if it's a hybrid or an old mans car.

**** gets like 40mpg, seats 5 extremly well, (interior is sooo roomy), has a decent truck, it's a toyota so it's more reliable than what I could have gotten, its free. I'd rather have this for free than pay 5000 for a second-hand 1993 civic.

Though I would like something I can actually work on, I don't know **** about hybrids, its all complex. And I don't want to do body mods on a hybrid, then i'll be a joke.

Maybe I'll get better sound system and little things.

It will get less MPG's the more miles you put on on it cuz the batteries don't last long in hybrids (except the Fisker Karma/Tesla)

Toyotas aren't reliable anymore, they've been having quality issues and were recently outed as having the most recalls.

Little things are big things in Hybrids because of all the electronic doodads in it.

You should put a spoiler on it to be totally JDM tyte yo!

Fully Loaded expect sunroof.

Leather seats and all the doohickeys.

Electronic Everything.

I don't expect this to be my permanent car, but for a first car, it's an extremely good one. Especially for free.

Gas and stuff is different, and the insurance is going into either my mom or my grandpas.

I really am probably going to put a new stereo with axillary and some minor audio add-ons, but after that not much. Nothing I like more than listening to music in the car, because I don't have the annoying earphone things in the ears and unlike home, nobody bitches at me for listening to it at a volume louder than whsipering.

I'll try to keep it as-is, because when it has to go I can get a buyer quick.

I do want to keep it until I'm at least 19. By then I can start getting jobs and see how my future is laid out for maybe a better car or a car I can do something with. Like an Integra, Impreza, Lancer, or something.

Hybrids have no resale value because the batteries tend to not hold much of a charge if any and that's a costly repair for someone, and when they die, your MPG's go down by quite alot because the batteries become dead weight, and are extremely heavy, and for a sub 200HP petrol engine, it's hard to move it all.

Why not just keep it until you get a decent paying jerb and can afford a sports car and your own home? Because when college rolls around, you won't be able to afford a sports mobile and college, or an apartment or anything, and you'll be house poor at that point. :<


Will you be changing the rimz to something other than steelies?

ill see about resale, the wheels will probably stay stock.
I mean it's a hybrid. I'd look like a ricer or an idiot by putting any body mods on it.

I would like to own some nice car like a 2001-ish M5. But knowing my mom, I'm probably never moving out.

With a Hyrbid vehicles, the batteries are a major concern because when they go, all benefits of owning a hybrid go. Your MPGs tank, power is nowhere to be found, and it aint good.

Put a super charger on it so your hood scoop actually serves a purpose then?

Don't get one with a rotary engine, those have bad seal problems unless you redline all your shifts but then your MPGs go away and you look like a tool. Also, hairdressers car~

buy a rain drop trailer or a cricket trailer to live in and tow it with your vehicle?

I am not going to street race or any of that junk under age 20.
I ain't going to do it a camry, it can be supercharged, twin turbo, it could have a corvette engine, it could have a hemi v8, its still a camry.
The only rotary cars in modern day are the Mazda Rx7 or RX8. I don't like the RX8 it's more hairdresserish than the RX7. Either way I won't buy either because I can't afford the penalty of having rotary, the penalty is the cost & maintenance and the bonus is the speed, cars quite quick.

Plus I said M5, that has a 4.9L V8. 0-60 in 4.8 seconds.
Problem is there are only like 20,350 produced, so I'm probably going to end up with a dentists 550i and have to do something myself.

I can't really say no, and I don't want to say no to the Camry. It's a free car that is better than what I could buy for, lets say, 5000. The insurance is way cheaper because it's a brand new car, and it has 5-star safety ratings across the board. It's a mid-size which is something I really badly wanted. I want a car with room in it so I can go with my friends to places. I don't plan to get a supercharger or whatever because who am I going to race? What am I going to do with all that speed? Lower my MPGs?
I like going fast and all but practicality comes before that, and I need a practical car. The m5 is pretty distant because of fuel economy, I would, or will, probably end up getting something that will save me on gas, like an accord or something. I can't go nuts like Sato and Vlatko can, there is nowhere to do it.
The only place where street racing exists is a city away and people always get caught there by the popo and cars impounded.
And the only public race track is all the way in thunder bay, which is where that big lake is in the center of Canada, I live right at the US/Canadian border, and it's an 2 hour drive to the states, and about another 2 hours to anywhere that's not grass.

It sucks but it's the truth. I love cars and all but I really just want a point a to point b. A nice car is a bonus. The Camry does just that. Point A to B. It's america's best selling car because it's just a pure Point A to B car. Outside of fixing the batteries its also cheap to fix and it rides smooth and quiet. Looks-wise it's pretty boring but hey, it's free.

tl/dr I don't want to drive fast, I want to save money.

MX5 is the mazda one.
And only RX cars come with Rotary, hence the R.
Miata/MX-5 comes with I-4 Turbo.
Mazda 3 comes with I-4, Mazdaspeed 3 comes with same Miata I-4 Turbo.
Mazda 6 comes with I-4, V6 and soon Turbo Diesel in the wagon.
Mazda SUVs come with V6s and I-4.

Any car with a RX in it has a rotary. That is why it has the R in the name. No other mazdas come with rotary.

Diesel prices in Canada are rising, so diesels aren't worth it anymore.
Gas prices are a little better than US.
Insurance, I don't know. My mom say's its "Expensive" but she doesn't want to deal with it, she doesn't want me owning a car, she wants me to drive hers. My Grandpa would put it in his insurance.

Also M5 I'm talking about is the only car with just M5. BMW M5. I said 550i below.

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9e/BMW_M5_E39_%28Blue%29.jpg)
I like the angel lights, the model after this looks girly and dumb imo, and the model before it was unreliable.
It's a mid-sized sedan with a V8 that outpouts... 394hp, because it's competition, Jaguar at 345, and Mercedes had 326. XJR and E-Class AMG.
0-60 in 4.8 seconds. Also it looks like a regular BMW 5-series.
I know one guy who used to take off the M badges and put regular 540i badges on it. And then beat the **** out of people with that power. It's a sleeper.

There are no dirt tracks here, there are no tracks for anything. And it's still a camry, rallying it would thrash it.

oh.


they came with rotaries in japan so i figured they did in murika too.

your gramps seems like a cool guy.

but you get almost double the mpgs in a deisel so you dont fuel up as much.

a v6 could output more power with a tarbo o.O

but with the weight of the batteries you would have more traction and might even win :0

I would if I could.
My friend Eric's Grand Am is under work right now, when it's done I might be able to thrash that around, even on a dirt track.

I googled the mazda thing, RX are the only rotaries, world wide.

The M5 is from 1998, so 394 was a lot back then. It's also quite luxiourus. I would baby this thing, I love it. I would remove the M badges and like put them in my room. Probably get it repainted some boring 5-series grey or brown. And go tear up those ricers when they see this dentist mobile wreck their ****.

So my SR20 should be getting taken away soon. it was supposed to go yesterday but my uncle was sick and couldnt come down to get it. once it does though ill be getting some small mods done after its fixed. Looking at getting a Pod Filter, new extractors with a full exhaust system and a high flow catalytic converter, im trying to sus out a price to get this. Im looking at getting some new springs too but idk. mine are pretty shitty and i bottom out with 3 or more people in the car. and once i have my subs and custom box in the car itll bottom out even harder... i was considering coilovers, but its expensive for something i might be able to get by putting my old springs on. im thinking all the weight from the custom box/amp/subs should lower it about the same height it is now but on my stock springs. might not be ideal though, thoughts? i also may need to find my self a better battery because of all the electronics that will be running inside the car, ill be draining the battery.

once its back from my uncles, these are my plans:
1. me and vlatko will be basically pulling the entire interior apart and cleaning up, and fixing any problems we might find. im also keen on cleaning out my engine bay, removing grease where there shouldnt be, and putting grease where there should.
2. im gonna pull my dash out and all the components, replace my bulbs in my dash and cluster as theyre hard to see at night
3. i need to repaint some of my panels, my cluster/headunit panel, dash panel, and skirt pannels along the doors (i have a couple blue panels that havnt been painted properly because no primer was used.....
4. ill be converting my headlights to HID's in a nice blue tinge (reffered to as "hi im a dickhead" here in australia) i get angry at people who use these in halogen casings becuase of the fact it glares like a mofos
5. replacing my rear lights (e.g reverse, brake, blinkers) with LED bulbs, part
6. fix my interior lighting (map light is poo and my cathode bars are even pooier)
7. hopefully i can afford a headunit and wiring kit for the amps im gonna get WHILE the interior is stripped, so i can run the wires through without being able to see them once the interiors are back in
8. sound dampen the car
9. once i get speakers ill probably have to mod the door panels to get the tweeters in, i shoudl be able to fit 6" speakers in the speaker bays anyway
10. once i get my subs and amps, ill have to get some MDF and make my custom box, not sure how im gonna design it yet, i have a few ideas, but basically boot space is gonna dissappear. there'll be a mount made for the amps where it will sit flush with the boots floor so you can see the top of the amp where all the control knobs are, but not see all the wiring. the brackets holding hte amps will sit in the empty space where my spare tyre used to be.
11. once ive got that stuff done, before i carpet the box ill test to make sure the gargantuan thing fits in my boot (measure twice, cut once) and ill test the sound, and try to find any rattlings in the car. once found i will try to fix the rattles, because its annoying. and ill sound dampen the boot door and whatnot.

So my SR20 should be getting taken away soon. it was supposed to go yesterday but my uncle was sick and couldnt come down to get it. once it does though ill be getting some small mods done after its fixed. Looking at getting a Pod Filter, new extractors with a full exhaust system and a high flow catalytic converter, im trying to sus out a price to get this. Im looking at getting some new springs too but idk. mine are pretty ****ty and i bottom out with 3 or more people in the car. and once i have my subs and custom box in the car itll bottom out even harder... i was considering coilovers, but its expensive for something i might be able to get by putting my old springs on. im thinking all the weight from the custom box/amp/subs should lower it about the same height it is now but on my stock springs. might not be ideal though, thoughts? i also may need to find my self a better battery because of all the electronics that will be running inside the car, ill be draining the battery.

once its back from my uncles, these are my plans:
1. me and vlatko will be basically pulling the entire interior apart and cleaning up, and fixing any problems we might find. im also keen on cleaning out my engine bay, removing grease where there shouldnt be, and putting grease where there should.
2. im gonna pull my dash out and all the components, replace my bulbs in my dash and cluster as theyre hard to see at night
3. i need to repaint some of my panels, my cluster/headunit panel, dash panel, and skirt pannels along the doors (i have a couple blue panels that havnt been painted properly because no primer was used.....
4. ill be converting my headlights to HID's in a nice blue tinge (reffered to as "hi im a ****head" here in australia) i get angry at people who use these in halogen casings becuase of the fact it glares like a mofos
5. replacing my rear lights (e.g reverse, brake, blinkers) with LED bulbs, part
6. fix my interior lighting (map light is poo and my cathode bars are even pooier)
7. hopefully i can afford a headunit and wiring kit for the amps im gonna get WHILE the interior is stripped, so i can run the wires through without being able to see them once the interiors are back in
8. sound dampen the car
9. once i get speakers ill probably have to mod the door panels to get the tweeters in, i shoudl be able to fit 6" speakers in the speaker bays anyway
10. once i get my subs and amps, ill have to get some MDF and make my custom box, not sure how im gonna design it yet, i have a few ideas, but basically boot space is gonna dissappear. there'll be a mount made for the amps where it will sit flush with the boots floor so you can see the top of the amp where all the control knobs are, but not see all the wiring. the brackets holding hte amps will sit in the empty space where my spare tyre used to be.

You need new suspension. I would suggest air bag suspension because then you can raise or lower your car based on your needs, it can hold moar, and the air compressor would allow you to run a train horn(s).

I would be wary about the exhaust mawd cuz your a P plater and it would make you a bigger cop magnet.

Get a full HID conversion done properly, cuz they will blind people and be a hazard if done wrong/half done

Wait on the sub system until you get your suspension fixed/beefed up. It will defeat the purpose of having a sub system if you can't even drive the car cuz it's bottoming out.

If you have the will power, do what this guy did to his van, he ran a fridge and tv/dvd/laptop with his system, and he even install solar panels too

Don't get rid of your spare tire cuz I know how your tires melt in 'Straya during the summer, and you will prolly need it. Get one of those spare tire holder things you see on off road vehicles for your wagon and be a trend setter. :u

I don't suggest carpet cuz it's a bitch to clean and absorbs anything spilled on it.

Are you able to chip your motor for moar powah in 'Straya? ._.

i would love airbags, but theyre expensive i believe. the exhaust system would be a downgrade on the one i have atm. the one i have atm is all noise and no go, its a 3" so i virtually lose power on it, but its painfully loud. a 2.25" with a high flow cat and extractors should be quiter (as ill have a decent resonator on it) and ill get 10ish extra KW that i lost with the 3".

i plan on getting the HID conversion done properly, because i know how it feels to have them glare in your face. i have sensitive eyes and even normal halogens hurt my eyes. but HID's look sexy

With the carpet, im using it solely for the purpose that i dont think vinyl will look nice, and it damages easily. besides im not gonna have any beverages on my subs ahhaha.

i havnt had a spare tyre in my car since i bought it, havnt really needed it. the only time i needed it was cause of that one time, but that was because the tyres were horrible shitty ones that i was given because i wanted low profile with my rims. nek minnut i got a rubber band on my rims....

I didn't say live in the fucking van, I said do what he did with the electrical so he has a constant supply of electricity for his ghetto blasters, and even a mini fridge and some tvs for the fam if they need a lift.

He was a contractor, graphic designer, and repair man while he lived in his van. He then was injured at a six flags cuz their rides are dangerous, and after his leg healed and six flags paid up, he went on to become a trucker, who lives in AZ now running for swift in a day cab. He makes less money than he did when he lived in the van but it's more stable work and he isn't fighting six flags for moniez.

He is the best role model cuz he made hella moniez, lived better than most people, got to go see a lot of commiefornia, and was a minimalist survivor type guy. I miss his fun adventures ;_;

Carbon Fiber, plastic, or if you are feeling extremely fancy, get some dark wood and build the sub case out of that, put some stain on it and BAM, instant luxury sub woofers to make all the bitches moist!

Also, people spill stuff, and bottle break open, cuz I know you will eventually have to buy things and transport them to your domicile.

Magnaflow exhaust?

Yeah but airbags are awesome and you wouldn't need to worry about bottoming out anymore, or someone stealing your car cuz when you turn the car of they drop, and depending on how you set it up, you can make it drop to the ground when you turn off the vehicle. :u

Put the spare in your front bumper then and use dem spinner rimz so you have a propeller while driving. Mad respek yo!

they all look **** compared to carpet that looks factory. stained boxes look like ass.... dont forget i drive a hatchback, so i dont have as much bootspace as you think. there wont be anything in the boot. ever. apart from the subs, and amp. because no space. my car is a matchbox, its virtually a coupe hatchback, its extremely small and even without the subs in the boot its hard to fit 3 peoples **** in the car. the price otehr people pay for rolling around in my car is sitting with their **** on their laps.

airbags arent that great for what i want, as far as i know they are very rigid for everyday driving. and will be a waste of money on my hatchy. coilovers would be much better, because i can adjust them to be low as possible while not bottoming out with lets say 4 people and my subs/box. theyre alot cheaper than airbags too, which is a plus.

i dont need a spare ahha

They look awesome painted to match your vehicle. :<

Arebags are best for ride quality if you have a heavy load which your car will when you install your subs. If you run them deflated like most people with airbag suspension do, then yes, your back will shatter. Otherwise they are very comfy. ._.

it depends ont eh car. and seeing as mine has 0 vinyl on it, itll look shit.

gotta remember though, here, airbags will cost ya almost 3k, where i can get coilovers, which are just as goood, for half if not less than half the price and still have the same benefits. it wont be the Sub that is heavy as ****, itll be the box. and why ghetto blasters? i aint buying no entry level subs....

ill see if i can find a picture of an interior similar to mine, i dont have my car with me atm as it got taken away to my uncles shop today.

Airbags are the WORRRST to drive on, his subs and all that will be the same weight as mine, slightly more because his box will just be a lot bigger, but my car hasn't even dropped anything close to an inch. I don't even think it has dropped at all. 36kg in total is what mine comes up to. Which is a small child in the backseat. His not doing anything crazy like covering his entire boot + backseat with a box to house 4x 18" subs, which then that'd drop his car a lot more. So he does not need airbag suspension. Airbags are not comfy one bit for driving, it's so stiff that you will **** your back up in several years, airbags are made for people towing a lot of weight or trucks/cars for show (car shows), not daily drives.

i dont think you understand that subs arent just subs. you dont just stick a sub in a car and it sounds amazing. theres a lot of different types of enclosures for subs that affect the sound. some people use no box, others use ported, some use sealed. they all sound differently and create different effects. especially when talking about subs going into a music head's car. its not as "ghetto" as you think

Old Dodge/Chevy trucks smoking Lexus LFA and Dodge Viper GTS.
Mitsubishi Lancer and Subie Impreza smoking a V12 Aston Vantage.
Saw this in Top Gear today.

Proves, you don't always know whats under the hood.


Actually, they suck at launching, and the tires are too small to crinkle at launch and don't have the grip the lancer/subaru have. If they have thicker tires they would have done better. :c

They have V6's or less in japan cuz laws.

Imperial is perfect in every way and ahead of it's time.

It's wood with a vinyl wrap I think. Or paint.

It's a horn, from a train, hence the name train horn.

Maybe your aussy airbags are less for comfort and more for heavy loads compared to murikas airbags. ._.

Bro, in yurope they dont care about murikan cars and only want japanese and german mobiles. :u

I've seen all of my subs in donked out cars surprisingly, not in JDM cars. Maybe it's just cuz I grew up in the hood...

its fiberglass and paint. vinyl wrapping wont get that kind of effect. its too shiny and perfect for wrapping.

i still dont understand how train horns have to do with anything we are talking about.

you are so misinformed wiht car audio it makes me gag. im not even gonna talk about this subject in this thread anymore because it feels like misinformed ideas are being pushed, and derogatory terms are being used in description of things that im passionate about. im done trying to teach these ideas anymore.

Vinyl can get that good :\

Air bags need an air compressor, and an air tank, if you got airbags, you could rig a train horn into the air tank and have the loudest horn in the smallest car.

And do you even know what vinyl looks like? Because you seem to have never seen vinyl in your life if you think it's that glossy/plastic looking. Fibreglass however once completed and sanded down and primed and painted and what not does look glossy/plastic looking. Vinyl is a material that is well.. vinyl, not plastic. You will have an extremely hard time/spending thousands of dollars on a sheet of vinyl that's going to be that perfect, only way you can achieve that is with cabonfiber vinyl.. Even then it doesn't look anything like what you showed. Trust me, that is made with fibreglass, not with vinyl.

You think that but it's really not true. They keep their own culture and move into neighborhoods with the same culture. It's why we have China towns, little italy's and such, cuz when those people come to murika, they group up with other similar peoples.

Sure, some adapt and try to become our culture, but we really don't have any good culture left in murika, all we are now is celebrity gossip and corrupt governments.

It was a suggestion.

I do, it's pretty popular among truckers because when they are done paying for the truck, they can take the vinyl off and sell it quicker than if they had a custom paint job or something.

The entire truck, inside and out.

When truckers want a custom look but want to sell it when they pay for it, they use vinyl wrap instead of paint so they can get it removed afterwards so it looks stock and sells faster, cuz people don't want custom trucks cuz it's tailored specifically to the driver who customized it and it usually means there's going to be a lot of things you won't like, where as if you have a stock truck for sale it will suit a wider buyer audience and sell a  lot faster.

Vinyl wrap is becoming more and more poplar us murika cuz of all the emissions requirements trucks need to have to enter states or avoid paying an extra 20k on your taxes, so people need to keep buying a new truck every 6 years, where as they used to just buy one and run it their entire career, like mustang joe did. Bought a 1953 Mack and used it until he retired in 94.


It's also used for custom cars like those popo super cars that will be used for a couple events and then returnedand sold, so they use vinyl wrap so they can remove it afterwards and save money.

Do you mean vinyl stickers? For the outside of the truck? You're once again arguing 2 different things, we were talking about vinyl wrapping a sub box, which cannot just simply be "taken off" you can't just simply peel away vinyl from a box. Also vinyl interior is the same, you can't simply just peel it away like a sticker, it's a lot harder then that. And by truck do you mean those massive trucks that carry massive amounts of stuff (fuel) or do you mean as in 4 door trucks that Americans call them?

Here in Australia (and im guessing many other continents/countries, don't call them pickup trucks, so when we hear trucks, we think of the first one. That's the major difference.

Upholstery vinyl is the stuff that's used on furniture + sub boxes and stuff, the stuff you staple on. That vinyl is good for wood stuff, aka. furniture + sub boxes. While the stuff you use to wrap your car is the decal vinyl stuff with the adhesive backing is this real thin plastic stuff (a lot like photo paper mixed with that gladwrap stuff you use to wrap your food in). May be called vinyl, but it's different stuff. If you wrap the upholstery vinyl on your car your car wouldn't look like a car, it'd look like a car shaped couch or something. It's like saying, why don't I get the music vinyl and wrap my sub box in that, they are completely different for completely different things.

Because sub boxes are usually made out of MDF, which hte decal vinyl won't stick as properly as it should and obviously won't show up as well. Won't give it the same effect as fibreglassing + paint does for that glossyness that you want. You would need to cover the MDF with something else before smoothing it out with 1000 of hours of sound paper before you can get decal vinyl to look good on it. Which makes more sense to use fibreglass. Especially because with fibreglass you can curve it any way you possibly want, not something you can do with MDF.

MDF?
-.- Urgghhhhhh. Medium density fibreboard, which is wood that is manufactured into boards, rather then with natural wood which obviously does not come in those sizes, unless you have trees on steroids. So unless you are going to cut the wood down thin, and join all the planks together, and spend forever just making the wood, then MDF is what you want. Most furniture (desks mainly, like those desks that are white) is made with MDF or Chip board, which chipboard is more of a papery type of board (the cheaper/less thick version of mdf). It is then covered in wood tape sorta stuff (forgot the proper name, we just referred to it as wood tape at my school), which makes it looks like authentic wood (or that plain white look), unless your willing to spend lots of money on proper wood desk (thick desk and what not, I guarantee it's made out of mdf/chipboard).

If I where to buy a car like that, I'd first make sure I have enough money to not give a crap about problems and just have fun with it.

They didn't fix the transmission but I wouldn't keep it as a daily driver, I'd take it to the track and drive freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I love the Toyota 86 because it shows a japanese company finally had the balls to make a sports car after 2000.
And It's not as bad as you think, everyone thinks its the greatest drivers car. It's slow, but it's cheap. You can drift it easily without crashing at 30mph.

And for a toyota the interior is quite impressive. I mean every other toyota is just grey blob inside.

Also

I like the volvo but i'd rather have different wheels, more tire less rim. It looks that stupid DONK stuff from the side.

When they use for drifting is what causes tranny problems, not DD. :x

Base models have boring interiors, you can get a better trim and have lexus like interiors. I just find the layout and color scheme to be ugly.

The breaks are too big for smaller rims, same problem in the porsche cayenne pepper, they couldn't fit smaller rims because they needed bigger breaks to actually stop the car in a reasonable amount of time, but the Volvo has thicker tires than the Porsche so it can do better offroad cuz it will have grip.

not a single car that was made/designed around the nurburgring has had a comfy suspension, they have had a stiff racing suspension cuz a floaty one means terribad cornering. 

i doubt rolls made this car to be about luxury. they made it because all car makers are trying to make 600+hp sport mobiles lately. i dont like this trend ;_;

but its never rolls comfort. its never 70s landbarge cant feel speedbump at 50mph comfy.

its always stiff but the seats are ultra plush so you dont notice how harsh the suspension has become cuz of the nurburgring. D:

I don't like ferrairs and stuff THAT much, but a rolls would be fun. Theres a glitch in Forza with the Jaguar XJ220 and the Bentley Contiental, The Jag has to be green and the Bentley white, this glitch somehow makes the bentley weightless, and its fun to send it flying.

Yea but I usually like big sedans and big powerful cars in my expensive cars, not light supercars as much.

I don't like ferrairs and stuff THAT much, but a rolls would be fun. Theres a glitch in Forza with the Jaguar XJ220 and the Bentley Contiental, The Jag has to be green and the Bentley white, this glitch somehow makes the bentley weightless, and its fun to send it flying.

Yea but I usually like big sedans and big powerful cars in my expensive cars, not light supercars as much.

Also, I found my favorite supercar:

http://www.laferrari.com/en/
It's the Ferrari LaFerrari, dumb name but omg i love it.
It's hybrid, 800HP Gas Engine, 163HP from Hybrid engine.
963 HP, it's the sucessor to the F40, F50, and Enzo Ferrari.

Isn't that the ferrari that costs like 1M pounds, and you can't take it home, and can only take to certain race tracks when ferrari feels like letting you take something you bought for a spin? D:


I liked the russian one where they tie the motor to a tree, bounce it off the rev limiter, and slam it in reverse and rip it out while it's still running better >:U

I think this is just like the Enzo, you have to ask ferrari if you can have one, and then they say yes/no.

someone needs to go to the eye doctor.

Ferrari has no clustered headlights, the front end is more pointed, and it looks like a 458 italia.
Ferrari has more rear curves, has the gas cap at back, etc.

But the ferrari and the zonda look TOO similar, cuz the Zondas shape is the most aero dynamic car shape so far that still appeals to people.

The Mcarlaren microwave also uses the same shape, so yeah, Zonda is leading aero dynamics and shiz.

It was GM.
They didn't want to fund them because they didn't copy GM's cars exactly.

The CEO told that. The 9-5 was supposed to be an Opel Vectra, but Saab only shared the steering wheel and engine which caused the relationship to go rocky
then GM let them go, and they didn't have enough money, and where losing market to Volvo.

I still miss Saab. Saab 900 Turbo is one of my favorite European cars because it's so 80s.

GM told saab change the body and badge, but saab spent millions of GMs money changing well over 80% of the car, they couldnt work with fiat because saabs standards were too high for fiat. it wasnt GMs fault, it was saabs fault. they wouldnt listen to anyone, they blew through money like the US does, and they couldnt turn a profit at all because they ONLY cared about safety.

Top Gear did a 1988 BMw 3 series and a 1988 Saab 900. Raised them both upside down from a crane, and dropped them on their roofs.

BMW smashed like a a tomato. Looked like a pancake.

The Saab just absorbed everything and kinda sat there.

those big bumpers on the front of saabs could like take a truck head on. They where all about safety.

So good, that they passed the legal requirements for a roof frame, before really having one. But they had to install one anyways for law. Same with what starrk said about races.

knowing how rare it is to find a better quality integra with mileage like that, i'd buy it.

integras are a curse, sadly the only vtecs other than the S2K that I like.

Integras are super nostalgic to me, but i mean every single one on the market has been crashed into, crashed by an idiot, ruined by being transformed into a ricer, or otherwise.

I just wanted a stock Integra 4-door. And put the coupe's spoiler on it.

you answered that for me.

I've never liked the monte carlo, it's a two door lumina. It's a two door, front wheel drive, redneck grandma mobile. It's not even very american because you have to get the unrelible, 10-mpg 1988 crap box that you gotta dedicate your life to, if you want a v8.
It's not even 4 door, which was my point with the integra. it's not an integra, so it's not nostalgic to me.

Integra is less on the insurance, less on the maintenance (honda/acura parts in canada are as common as finding a needle in a needlestack), it's more nostalgic, it's japanese. List goes on.

I don't care about power, i'm not flying across the world, i'm not racing anybody. It has a reliable engine than get the job done. Integras sell like hot cakes because of reliablity, but since they are mostly owned by teens people just crash them because they can't drive.

I just can't stand the obscure american cars, and I only like some american cars for novelty, otherwise they are crap in my eyes. Every american car my family has owned as had some problem with it, while the japanese and german cars they owned run perfect and had zero problems.

Dodge 600 (engine just randomly stopped working, car couldn't handle it, dead.)
Buick Riveria (Some **** with the engine)
Buick Century (door hinges broke somehow)
Chevrolet Malibu (99 special edition and 2002. 2002 had running problems, and some lady rammed into it. 99 could barely push itself to do jack crap, we sold it last year)
Pontiac Bonneville (both rear doors stuck close, had to scrap because cost too much to fix)
Pontiac Firebird Trans Am (Trunk wouldn't close. Day after it got fixed, some jackass smashed into it, and left the lot after. It was the only car my grandpa owned that was custom painted, cherry red)
Oldsmobile Cutlass (this is the only american car we had with zero problems)
Oldsmobile Alero (idk what happened, but smoke came from hood)
Dodge Caravan (trunk wouldn't close)

Thats all I can remember. You could blame my family, as I was only around for a few of these, but they traded for jap cars and mercedes, and those had no problems. Mercedes had **** dealership people but it was fine. My mom has driven her honda since 2006, zero problems. '08 Toyota Corolla, '09 Mazda Cx9 (which is really a ford explorer that looks better and seast 7), '11 Mazda 3, '08 Camry, '06 Honda Civic are what my family currently own. My dad owns a '04 BMW z4 and 1999 Nissan Pathfinder.

I understand old american cars are cool starrk, but I look at it from a realistic perspective. Honestly, until I get my own personal vehicle (the camry is my grandpas) then I will learn how to change stuff and maintain it. I have no experience with that stuff, so a 70s anything is out of the question, as is an 80s. The Integra is a great starters car, which is why its so popular. And I have always grown around import culture and stuff. Corvettes, Camaros and Mustangs are all that I grew up with in the American car department. I grew up with a love for Supras, Imprezas, Lancers, Skylines, and euro cars such as Lotus Elise and stuff.

They always interested me because I only saw them in video games. I could go out to the ghetto if I wanted to see a 70s lumina, it had no significance to me what-so ever. While if I saw a Impreza i'd go "ooh i want that".

I don't like cars that go fast in a straight line, I want something more. And something not american. American's not interesting. It's not exotic, it's something I can see if I look out my window. Boring.

How the blazes did your family manage to destroy those things? Aside from the oldsmobiles (GM used oldsmobile to test it's new tech) the rest should be solid cars. Sounds like the 600 just had a bad oil history.

What about the 2006ish model? It looks kinda like a integra but with 2 doors, same seats, and luxury stuff in it. ._.

Only ferds cant turn cuz they never bothered upgrading their cars suspension, they just kept adding more power. Chevy and to some extent, dodge, are able to turn quite nicely, and the new SS bromaro is hailed as the best handling car theyve driven in a while.

by luxury i mean leather seats and the base model has all the stuff the fully loaded civic had.

The Monte Carlo is built in canada, but I don't like it. It's a full-size coupe, integra is a compact coupe. Compacts better on the insurance. Also 2005+ models are like SUPER rare for monte carlos, tbh i've never seen one irl ever.

and the point was, I wanted the integra, the extra doors is a bonus. I like the integra cuz it's an integra. Not because it's got this or that. It's just like my childhood and imo it looks good. Also I heard, if you can drive, it's reliable, cheap to run, insurance safe. etc.

Also I just don't have an appeal for the Monte Carlo. It reminds me of NASCAR, which I hate. And It's also American, so it loses more appeal to me.
I know i've never seen one, but I've seen the Impala, it's just a 2 door impala, the 2005+ one.

I like V70R and Volvo 850R.
I love the S60 Polestar

I aspire to own cars I like. I like the integra, I like the supra, the rx7, the mazda miata, the subaru impreza.
I don't like the monte carlo, i hate the lumina.

There are no "Canadian" car companies. Trucks are just trucks. The type of toilet paper i use is more interesting than trucks to me.

lol, top gear is using an 850R to travel offroad. maximum lelz

but those are so cheap and easy to find, y u no aspire to own some rare/currently expensive car? D;

Why does canada not have a car company when Mexico has a super car company? o.o

But trucks bring you everything you own, even the house you live in! You need to ride in one and see how awesome they is yourself~

Canada has no car company, I don't know why.

I do want a Subaru Alcyone SVX which is really rare. It's like a subaru coupe thats all wheel drive.
There is also a 2003 Angel-eyes BMW M5 i wanted.

For like something to really aspire to, not like a used car i'd want to own, I'd aspire to either restoring a 70s Datsun 240z or a Nissan GTR. Or maybe a BMW 760i (the one with the gigantic twin turbo v12), or Rolls Royce Phantom.

Someone could make a killing making AMC in Canada. 4x4 station wagons, 4x4 sport coupes, never worry about winter again~


I never heard of those two things.

You could just import a datsun soon since nissan is bringing them back in other countries as a barebones, sub 3K dollar car. Import it and add all the luxury equipment any canadian needs to survive all that canadian kindness! >;D

BMW M5. It's called angel eyes because it has rings around the lights, and they changed that in 2001. It's a name for the facelift.

I want an old datsun, the 1970s 240z.

You know what actually sells in Canada? Compacts. Compacts with front-wheel drive or Trucks with 4x4.
Honda Civics, Ford Focus, Mistubishi Lancer, Toyota Corolla, Chevy Cruze, etc.
That is what actually sells.

Canada's perfect selling car would be a AWD Compact, like the Impreza, expect the same price as a honda civic or toyota corolla.

Trucks also sell. Station wagons don't sell at all. Minivans sell.

A canadian subaru would be good for canada. Everything 4x4. 4x4 Minivans and 4x4 Compacts would own canada.

It looks like a saturn O_O

Audi does angel eyes too I think. ._.

I imagine the new ones will look similar since they will only be sold in countries with almost zero safety standards, just like back in the 70's.

Yep. Classic AMC. everything was compact before it was cool (which is why the gremlin was so poplar, they knew an oil crisis would happen and got a head start), and then in their last days they invented the crossover, a 4x4 car, srsly, 4x4 everything, and then chrysler bought them out cuz they wanted Jeep.


That sounds like Dodge. AWD minivans (Caravan/Durango), AWD trucks (Ram/Jeep), AWD compacts (Dart/Wrangler 2door). >:U


Also, Y U HAVE HARD TIME SPELLING EXCEPT?!

Alot of Dodge Caravans, nothing else dodge is common, other than the
*shudder*
neon.

I honestly expected the Dart to sell like crazy because the neon did, but i rarely see them here.

Honda civic is canada's best selling car.
Then Ford F-150
then Toyota Corolla
then Chevrolet Silverado.
And then Dodge Ram

Everyone is waiting for the SRT4 Dart expected either the end of this year, or early next year. It's painfully slow as it has a Fiat 500 drive train but more doors and extra features, and the SRT4 will have more power and be a true successor to the neon throne, and not be dangerous to drive cuz of its underpowered motor.

Hellz yeah Ram! D:<

Try looking for 4 door skyline GTS if you can. I hear its quite decent, but you gotta care for these cars because of the age. Then agian, they ARE japanese, reliability is a given.
I honestly prefer 4 doors over 2 doors because it's more comfortable for the passengers and easier for you.

I also like station wagons, if you get imports, the best would be a Nissan Stagea... aw yea.
An S2000 is great but I think when you finalize it it'll be more than $20000 and It's only a 2 seater.
You have to remember that convertibles are very annoying as daily drivers, the roof is annoying and most have incredibly small trunks or none at all. I know from experience, my Dad's BMW Z4 is crammed full of crap, and it's known for having the biggest trunk of most Roadsters. You have to have patience if you really want. And the only good 4 seaters I know are Volvos and Audis. And the good audis are a bit overpriced and you don't like Volvos.

Toyota Chaser is also great, and its quite popular 4dr midsize drift car, with the sexy FR layout on a mid-size sedan. Pre-200s so I'm sure there is reliablitity. But they are imports. You can probably also find AWD if you want to quick launch and not slide all over the place in bad weather.
I'd also say Subarus and Lancers, but they got turbos.
300ZX is a fantastic car but it also comes with its problems. I know it's quite costly because people grab them up because they are the fastest Zs other than the 370z.
Supra is also sextastic, and I think the space is good enough.

I love Rx7's but avoid Mazda Rotary cars, unless you want to stop every day to repair it. They are amazing cars but bad dailys.
MX-5 isn't rotary. But it's very small. It has the postives of being cheap, common, reliable. But it's not practical much, it barely has a trunk, and its a 2 seater.

It depends on what you need, and I don't know much about whats available in Australia. Personally, I'd end up with a Stagea or Legacy Wagon because beating someone in a wagon is hilarious and hooning in one is supposed to be even more fun. For you i'd say maybe a Supra. idk.

i agree very much with what your saying. like. i think the convertible idea is jsut becuase of a novelty experience thing. its mostly stemmed off of the s2000 and hte mx-5 cause i love the look of both cars. but, i complain about the little space i have in my hatch alreayd let alone a 2 seater.

i love the idea of getting a supra, but im too scared to jump on getting one because its hard to find one that hasnt been thrashed around every corner. and yeah i love rx-7's but alot of upkeep is needed. the s15 has always been a favourite of mine and id love to pick one up, but i have an sr20 already and im not sure if i wanna get something with similar speed to what i already have. plus they arent very roomy. 300zx is a nostalgic thing. my uncle used to have one and htyere really nice. i guess all in all its gonna come down to a convenience thing. once i have the 20000 ill probs just go around and ask for test drives for some of the cars and see what i think will best suit me best. if i worked my butt off i could get a second car and secure an s2000 for weekend driving, which would be a dream come true. but thats a bit unrealistic i suppose. paying 1 registration and insurance is hard enough.

do eet. the bromaro makes great drift mobiles with little modfing needed, room for friends, good speed, reliable, and fast.

 >:U

also, station wagons!

unfortunately i dont like the look of the z28, they arent the greatest. the slant in the front bumper puts me off. station wagons id consider, but, i think id get bored of quickly and end up filling the wagon portion with 8 12" subs.....

If I could sell my camry, i'd by neighbors ****ty 1998 Subaru legacy (Liberty in AUS)
get new tires
Do engine swap with WRX STI, which is apparently easy and common
hooning in turbo wagon...

if only i had the money, and somewhere I could drive...


ALSO IM FINALLY GOING FOR MY LEARNER'S PERMIT-LIKE THING. ONTARIO G1, THIS FRIDAY.
FINALLY
GOD

I wish I knew what a Silvia was like. Only know of S13 liftbacks, the 200sx. Never been in one though. I heard the trunk has problems, so the JDM s13 is better.

with I-4 Turboooooo from Impreza, I can beat their asses in Canada's granny wagon.

It's not JDM if it's an Acura, thats why the term was kinda made.

JDM means Japanese Domestic Market, it has to be straight outta japan, right hand drive and everything, thats when It's called JDM. Japan has different regulations so the cars are different in safety, right hand drive, and engine options.

It's not like Acuras and Lexus are totally non luxury. They have leather seats, heated seats, generic luxury garbage to be classified offically as luxury. In Japan they sell the same cars under Honda and Toyota because Honda and Toyota are considered fully rounded, they have cheap and expensive cars. Here they just have cheap to middle class. It's always been like that in Japan, so they don't need to make a luxury brand there, they just sell the brand under regular name. Prime Minister drives a Toyota with Rice bamboo interior lol

All of those cars are Acuras actually, and 1 is Canadian built and Canadian exclusive.

probably because you don't get the name brand.

and yea you do, because the option above hybrid for my model year comes with leather seats, and other nice stuff.

Also Camry is very american.
It's built in the US, Designed in the US, made for the US.
It's not really sold anywhere outside north america.

As is the Honda Accord.
The Acura TSX is the european accord.

Toyota has alot of american in its blood now, look at it's 80s pickup trucks, redneck as fawk

Well Toyota IS going the way of GM and just not caring anymore since it's on top. They have the most recalls as of late, and lexus lacks quality control. If Toyota dont step its game up, it's gonna be in deep trouble.

Range Rover is like the
Luxury of Land Rover. By name only though, it's still part of the company in everyone elses eyes, including financial.
It's their luxury sub-division.

The Range Rover Sport.

The GMC and Chevy, the switch around the lights and bumpers and market it as a different car.

The Sport is Lighter, Shorter, car.

The Range Rover Sport is a Mid-Size Luxury SUV
The Range Rover is a Full-Size Luxury SUV

There wouldn't be a classification difference if they where the same.

Range Rover Sport:
Length   
2005–2009: 186.5 in (4,737 mm)
Since 2009: 188.3 in (4,783 mm)
Width

Since 2009: 76.1 in (1,933 mm)
Height

Range Rover:
Length   
194.9 in (4,950 mm) (2002–2005)
195.7 in (4,971 mm) (since 2006)
195.9 in (4,976 mm)
Width   
75.7 in (1,923 mm) (2002–2009)
76.1 in (1,933 mm) (since 2010)
Height

74.9 in (1,902 mm) (2006–2009)
73.9 in (1,877 mm) (since 2010)

The Sport is sold as a different car.
Marketed as a different car.
Has a different classifcation.
Has a different price range.
They just look the same.

It's like saying the Dodge Dakota and Dodge Ram are the same.

The XC70 is already a wagon. An ugly wagon, but a wagon. The XC60/80 are cross overs though.

The XC70 is already a wagon. An ugly wagon, but a wagon. The XC60/80 are cross overs though.

XC70 is advertised as a Crossover.

Its FWD in Europe and is called Volvo V70
the XC is added for the crossover one.

Because people in murika despise wagons and love cross overs, so they advertise it as a cross over to fool people into thinking it isnt one, but it is a wagon. Seriously, the XC70 hasn't changed since in over a decade except making it fatter with more safety and Volvonium. It's like how we label everything at .99 instead of the full dollar to make you think it's cheaper than it really is.

Also, in murika it's FWD or AWD* depending on how you spec it.


I still can't wait for it though~




*Volvos AWD system splits power 95/5, the 5 only to stop the rear tires from slipping

2014 Cadillac CTS

I like it alot.
I love the LEDs
I like how it looks classy and a bit expensive for once, with that chromium.
A bit boxy, idk why i like that. Its fitting for an American Luxury car, 300C pulls of boxy well.

I want the CTS-V plz

It's such a fun car for a cadillac, i went in a CTS-V with my friend, **** was SO fun.

All that shiny plastic~

Seriously, caddy doesnt have leather or wood inside, everything that looks chrome is actually plastic, and the ride is or miss depending on model.

I know cuz when I had a jerb, one of our customers was showing his CTSV coupe he purchased after going to michigan to buy it. Old guy, pretty neat. But yeah, caddy aint luxury anymore. Dodge has actual leather and suede for cheaper and moar power.

That said, it looks like a Mercedez Benz front end and a phaeton-ish rear. Sort of want. Need moar pics of it though...

It's the most reliable and cheap for that kind of power, but it guzzles fuel hard core.

The new Twin Tarbo V6 Caddy has coming along makes moar power than ferds ecoboost and I imagine will be pretty decent.

I think they have that fake leather stuff. Still no wood, just plastic with wood paint.

I do not like that rear, and I know that trunk will have a hard time fitting things in it, no matter how much space it has, the opening will be Kia small.

I have yet to see a raptor with a spec of dirt on it. Srsly, they never see offroad except for when someone reviews it. I bet it rides pretty well because of that. ._.

I'd take it offorad.

Most Ram Runner vs Raptor reviews i saw say Ram Runner wins offroad, raptor wins onroad. And other than that it's kinda equal.

I'd only get the Raptor because I like it's looks better and going to be completely honest, in reality im not going to go offroad all the time. It's a better daily, ram runners more of a toy.

I'd rent a ram runner or probably buy one for side if i had money out of the ass.

You know you want a Ram Runner moar

Besides, you live in canadia, dont you need something that does well offroad since it's snow and dirt roads galore up there? D:

also no.

I live near toronto
its all city
city city city, suburb suburb suburb.

I saw more rural in the state of new york.
I also hate rural, its so boring. I wanna live in Toronto or NY when im older.
So really offroad stuff is pointless, but its a cool thing to have.

NY is the portaloo of murika. Seriously, it's horrible, expensive, and potholes everywhere, crime galore, traffic, and expensive. D=

I aint having a shitty day, I'm just sitting here discussing the pros and cons of two pickem up trucks. ._.

Also, raptors are very valuable on the black market in murika and get stolen quit a lot, so much so that most insurance companies refuse to cover you again if you get its stolen.

What exactly makes the Ram so boring compared to the raptor?

but your biased for dodge
your only saying negatives for the Raptor really.
It's pointless to mention it, its like when I mention xbox.
seriously im running out of people to talk about cars or video games with, it makes me feel shitty.
I got to new york every year, and I love going everytime. Also the crime galore is wrong, it's not even on the Top 10 in America anymore. Only thing you got right was potholes, expensive and traffic. But all that, expect expensive, is ruled out in Long Island, NY. It's such a nice place to live, too bad it's only populated by people who make over 500,000 a year combined in the good areas.
I like Toronto, but it's expensive. It doesn't have high crime rates, it's the safest +1mil population city in North America. I love urban enviroments, I want to live there when I grow up.

You already said the pros for the raptor though. Moar power and better on road ride. ._.

New york is getting so expensive a third party called the Rent Is Too Damn High Party started to try and bring new yorks high rent down to reasonable levels. While it's a nice vacation spot, living there is another story. Crime, cops that are too fat to do anything about crime, no jobs unless you got some degree thats in demand or have a job lined up already, and homeless and drugs.


Also, mruika has no health insurance and just visiting the doctor for like a check up in about 3k~. You should really stay up in canada unless you make big moniez.

Also, no room for cars in new yawk and you get your impounded for pretty much anything in murika. D:


btw, what do you want to do with your life career wise? ?_?

I'll be honest.

I don't know anything about that.

I know how to change the brakes and tires.
I know different engines.

I know a lot of about cars and various parts and such, but I prefer diesels honestly.

Lexus IS toyota. Lexus is a rebadged toyota with all the options.

Also, lexus is becoming a younger persons car every year cuz they make them cheaper and more affordable, and young folk buy them cuz it's reliable and its a lexus.

Volvo is becoming the new old person car actually, cuz all old people care about is safety, and Volvo makes the safest cars. It's why it's becoming more poplar. Srsly, the local Volvo dealer has nothing but old folk and some young folk, no middle aged though...

SC is the only toyota rebaged one now.

Also, about Toronto.

Toronto is like a safer, smaller NY.
I read some crime stats.

The amount of Murders in Toronto in 2011 is less than Chicago had in January, 2011
That's scary, for Chicago.

Also side note.

Dodge Ram 2500 mega 4WD has the highest Property Damage Liability of any car in total.
Chevorlet Corvette Z06 has the least.

In other words, people who own Ram 2500s crash into **** alot, while people who drive Corvette Z06s don't.

More interesting stats:
Ferrari California has the most collison losses.
Jeep Wrangler 2dr has the least.

Hyundai accent has highest body injury loss.
Chevrolet Corvette has the least body injury lost.

I looked at their website, a lot of rebadging going on, but they do seem to have some lexus only vehicles as well.


lol the Ram 2500 thing is true. It's mostly because the owners know they will survive almost any crash. The 2500 series is a tank mayne. Also, 2500 owners are compensating **** and have a lot of roid rage...

The most stolen vehicle in the US is the escalade cuz caddy.

(http://www.autoweek.com/storyimage/CW/20120829/CARNEWS/120829814/AR/0/new-nissan-pathfinder.jpg)
It looks the Nissan Mallfinder.

It's not truck-based anymore, it doesn't have old school body-on-frame design anymore, " It will ride on the same platform as the Infiniti JX, Altima, Maxima, Murano and Quest.", in other words 2 corssover minisuvs that only come in FWD, A minivan, and 2 sedans. Not pickup trucks D:

I'm scared it doesn't do anything offroad, the old ones where so good off road, this looks like the generic jellybean suvs of today

Too bad there is no market for offroad suvs anymore D:

There's no market for offroad SUVs anymore cuz Jeep has that market on lockdown, and no one can compete with a brand specifically made for offroad SUVs. It's why JDM are getting rid of their trucks, cuz murika has better ones. :\

that car is like 99% american lol
It was designed, built, and everything in America.
Same with old Toyota trucks, thats why they have American nostalgic value, because they are murican with japanese badges. Ironically the Pathfinder was imported to Japan.
In other words the Pathfinder is a foreign car to Japan.

Range Rover still does amazing offroad. Too bad the owners never take it offroad, because they think they will ruin the car they paid so much for, when half the money is for the offroad capability.
I love that thing range rovers have, when you press the button to go offroad, it lifts the suspension, and I heard the offroad is sex, thats why Rangies still get good reviews.

so it's really only Jeep and Range Rover that got offroad, but in reality the Wrangler is the only car you will ever see offroad.

during an episode of top gear US, tanners brand new RR sport was leaking through the light on the ceiling during a light rain, his front suspension dropped and his rear raised up, and he couldnt do offroad that well. the cherokee srt8 did pretty good but rut quits at the first sign of trouble cuz hes a lazy nascar guy. adams full sized 3 ton escalade did pretty good offroad actually.


but yeah, RR are unreliable and have a ton of problems and very few dealerships, and if you want luxury offroad, get a jeep with all the options. cheaper and better. :x

Not surprised. Had they gone through one of the big 3 and sold their design they would have probably taken off, but like the article says, the police wouldnt have any dealer support, parts would be expensive cuz BMW, and it would be noticeable from miles away, where as a charger aint much, parts are everywhere, and it's cheap and powerful and roomy.

I can drive with someone who has a license for 4 years.
In 12 months I can do the road test and drive on my own.
Or if I take driving courses its only 8 months + Cheaper Insurance.

12 months here with obligatory driving courses both theory and practice and you need 75% to pass.
Or else you gotta wait some months before passing it again.
And you're suspended a year if caught driving alone.
Only 4 points on the licence. Alcohol is zero tolerance.
AND I CANNOT **** GET MY TEACHER ON THE PHONE TO SET UP A COURSE!!! DAMMIT!
He's not even home the evenings or the weekends! And he has no voicemail!
I HATE HIM! q_q

It's a rally car turned street car.
Thats what the soobaru sti and evolution are.
Just heavier rally cars because road safety regulations.
Thats why they haven't got slower/faster over time. Horsepower wise, they just get lighter/style updates/ etc. Rally things limit 300hp these cars have 300hp.
I also think the car just shreds through the snow because of the front bumpers style.

Why is it always brown folk doing crazy stunts like this? Why cant they block off a 12 lane super highway during rush hour and do donuts like a normal person?



Also, Dodge is hoping that advertising the Dart alongside Fast and Furious 6 will increase sales (it isnt in the movie, they will just try to make the Dart seem FF6 ish) instead of, you know, releasing the SRT4 version everyones waiting for.

SRT is really taking their sweet time the Dart. ._.

So, 3 wheel bikes are forbidden here because they're dangerous.
But only when the one wheel is at the front.
Or so I heard.

Fiat is starting to phase out Dodge. My Freind who works for dodge confrims this.

The Caravan is going to be gone, Town and Country will be fully replacing it.
Avenger is gone.
They are moving the challenger to SRT, and RAM trucks is their own brand.
They also plan to move the Charger to SRT, and the Dart to SRT
Nothing on the Journey. Or Durango.
They might phase out the Durango because they have the Cherokee.

All the cars would be the same, just with different names, i guess.
Gonna miss Dodge.

Chrysler has been trying to end the caravan or town and country for YEARS now, but they cant decide because both are good sellers. Dodge wont die, they'd lose too many customers trying to pull something like that.

The Corvette has 455 Horsepower and Gets 29 MPG Highway, 17 city.

In ECO mode it gets 30mpg, both.

So Normally I hate GM and Chevrolet.
but thats genius.

29ish MPG, 455 Horsepower, 0-60 in 3.7, only 51,000 USD.

As unorginal as the design is, it looks like it's the most dynamic sports car on the market.

Maybe chevy is doing something right. Or not, they still have other garbage on the market. new Impala looks good at the front, HORRIBLE at the back.

The XC70 is a wagon, but they market  it as a cross over cuz crossovers are super poplar here in murika. It's like how everything is $xx.99, it makes you think it's cheaper but really, it's not. marketing tactics yo!

It gets about 20ish MPGs in the real world. The EPA estimates are only accurate when the stars align and zeus blesses your journey.

And you get almost no MPGs if you actually put the throttle down and dont shift from first to 4th. and it's cheap as all hell inside and out.

I think Porsche is the most dynamic sports car on the market. They're quick, can turn, have as much room as the vette, with back seats, and get decent fuel economy and are pretty reliable.

Yea the CX9 is very small,but it's very big inside. Thats why it's considered full-size.

I think the Cx9 is right at the border between full and mid, but they bumped it to full because of the 7 seats.

at first i look at the new corvette, and I am like
"holy crap it looks like a viper"
"it's probably going to be horrible, like everything else GM has made recently"


The car is like
getting amazing acclaim.

Motortrend reviewed it and found like nothing wrong, and I think I know why.
GM completely removed everything about the car, and built a new one. Before corvettes where just building on being better than the last by using old stuff, this time everythings new.
It's extremely high tech now.
The stupid ****ty GM interior is gone now
the new engine is even more reliable and fast
the suspension is suprisingly grippy, suprising for a RWD American 460 HP V8 Sports Car
It's suprisingly quick and launches well
it gets good mpgs thanks to gear skipping tech

you cant make a reliability claim as its not even been out for that long.

they've always had good mpgs by going from 1st to 4th, and theyre lightweight.

I'm still going to hold out major judgment on the other things until theyve been out for a couple years and I start seeing my neighbors with them. :x

Torque of the CX-5 raped the caravan.

in short its really just a car, it has nothing to redeem it, or single it out. I guess its kinda shitty on reliability, but kinda powerful, as dodges/chryslers tend to be.

May the old gods and the new have mercy on your wallet. That things gonna be expensive to repair, even just replacing the alternator is like 5X as expensive on those years of dodge compared to any other car maker cuz of how they designed everything. Also, 1 belt to rule them all. Pray yours doesnt need replacing. ever.

The handbrake doesn't work. The retailer will repair it though.
And change all brakes and repair and clean everything too.

It looks in order but if it breaks like porcelain.
I won't be using it too hard though.
Highway and downtown. Mostly highway.

There was a 240 000 km Acura TL I think it was 2003. The km scared me a bit.
There was a Sentra too. Don't remember the year. The paint was ugly.
Kia Rio also.
There are tons of choices in town tbh.
I just really liked the feeling and look of the Avenger.

Depends on what you like man. If you use that quattro oil stuff it may hang but when a 80's-2010 dodge needs repairs, they are more costly than others because they have some bad design choices.

Alternator belts, fan belt and all the other belts are seperate in other cars, but in chryslers, they are all one massive belt, so when it goes, your car is done and will need a tow, cuz you cant use your shoe laces.

They have so many computers that it takes so much to replace an alternator cuz of it (mechanic told my uncle this when his 01 durango wouldnt start, was just the battery)

American vehicles werent really great during the 80s and up until they went bankrupt.


But if you liked the car and it was good, then by all means purchase it. If you dont mind me asking, how much is it and what are the monthly payments? How long will you be paying for it?

I would have liked an Accord too.

8000$
I think it's the fair price from what I saw.
It's usually more expensive elsewhere.
I'm going with 4000$ cash and payments of like 80$ every 2 weeks for 36 months.
I may just pay the rest in 1 year though.
It's just to pass the credit check that I need to declare it like that.
3 years is kinda overkill.

Then by all means go for it. You should be able to save enough for any repairs it may need with those payments.

Seriously, take about 15 bucks out of every paycheck for an oh shit fund, you'll prolly need it someday.
