GT: The Grand Tour, Season 2 Driver 11/02/2017 (Thu) 21:53:41 Id: c0c246 No. 14497 [Reply] [Last]

>>15211 Not him but you're messing up the words here. Crossovers are cars that are made to look like all terrain cars. SUVs are, like they imply, fast, large and capable in off-road. So no, cars can't be both SUV and crossovers. Crossover was a word used by Renault to call its small and SUVesque cars, that aren't sporty nor utilitarian, they just have the looks of an SUV. Now car dealers call all crossovers SUVs, which is completely misleading. See the pic related. This is the size of a small hatchback and has a 1.0l 80hp engine. Don't call that a SUV.

Driver 02/18/2018 (Sun) 17:26:16 Id: 1998f3 No. 15216

>>15212 So a crossover is taking a car that isn't meant for off-road and making it look "off-roady"?

Driver 02/14/2018 (Wed) 12:41:42 Id: 84a20a No. 15195

>>15194 Pickup market in Europe is different than in US. In US, it is just accepted that you can and will buy a truck designed for hard work and hauling stuff for daily groceries. Is Europe, i have to go over and beyond to get anything designed for work, and even further to get something that is comfy as well. Renault a shit. Amarok is expensive. There is very little market for japanese imports in Baltics, let alone cheap used japanese pickup trucks. VW LT series revive when. Fucking great vehicles.

>>15026 That's what dirt tires are for, you silly goose. Winter tires in summer wear down faster than a twink's ass in prison, and they wear down fast in winter already if it doesn't snow 80% of the time. >t. guy with 3mm of thread left on his front left winter tire after just two and a half "winters" Time to spend some money on a set of wider alloys, I guess. By the way, does anyone know of any good wheel reviewing sites? All manufacturers seem to claim that every single one of their wheels is the tightest shit.

Driver 01/16/2018 (Tue) 00:09:58 Id: 2ac704 No. 15029

>>15027 Dirt tires are expensive and terrible on asphalt. My routine is 50/50 dirt/asphalt roads, so winter tires are pretty good all-rounders. Yes, they are way less "unslidy" on warm asphalt than summer tyres, but that is rare anyway.

Driver 01/21/2018 (Sun) 18:52:28 Id: 394da4 No. 15052

>>15026 Except that summer temperatures are too hot for the winter tire's rubber compound, and that dirt roads are a lot more abrasive than snow, dirt is even abrasive on dirt tires. You'd be better served by a mild all terrain tire, some are even rated for winter service.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJSbo8EhP_A This is one of the prettiest and best sounding cars out there at the moment. The interior is gorgeous, the ride is smooth, it's loaded with tech and it has 471HP. Some will object that it's a Lexus and not a Euro but these people should really GTFO. Even Daddy DeMuro loves it.

Loud engines Driver 08/08/2017 (Tue) 15:32:42 Id: 08b2d2 No. 13724 [Reply]

Do you find this impressive? I'm not a car person but I can see how someone can like working with engines ect. However designing an engine to be loud so it sounds "cool" seems like a retarded nigger-tier thing to do. Yet I see these fuckers everywhere and my car-loving friends seem genuinely impressed by this. Is this the popular opinion here or are they normies?

Female muscle car drivers Anonymous 11/09/2015 (Mon) 03:22:16 Id: 3f59b6 No. 7115 [Reply]

I don't get it, /o/. Two out of every three muscle car drivers I see are women. This makes no sense on multiple levels: >Women don't typically find enjoyment in driving the same way men do and would have less reason to drive a high-performance car >Women don't typically have the high-paying jobs required to afford cars like that >Fun cars are the first things that married women make their husbands give up, so a male owner is unlikely I don't understand it. How/why are there so many? How long until the big push to make car culture a "safe space for women"?

Does it truly deserve the title of "Worst Car in History All Things Considered"? I think Jeremy Clarkson for the most part is a scam and Top Gear is a show you watch for entertainment, not for its car reviews. But with that said, what is your experience with this car? Is the handling really as terrible as some make it to be?

A thread to share experiences of cars you really should've walked away from. Pic related is an EJ Civic I snatched up for 2000 dollarydoos. Pictures in the ad were real shitty, so all I could see was clean paint and a straight body. Texted the owner and he was very responsive and upfront with answers to my questions. He told me a few things were wrong with it of his own volition, leading me to believe he was being upfront and honest about everything, and it all seemed like shit I was comfortable fixing including bringing it back to stock ride height but come to find out there were a few rather glaring omissions. >Clean paint was actually a half assed respray with cheap paint, now full of chips and scratches >Busted turn signal stalk >That nigger tier hyperflash mod, also making the front turn signals too dim to be seen when the parking lights are on >Also nigger tier "rally style" rearview mirror, with no nighttime dimming; removed sun visors to install it >Also also nigger tier fake carbon fiber fog lights, not hooked up >Power steering pump and reservoir removed, lines looped >Ad said manual trans; while technically true, it was an auto from the factory, and the owner before him who did the swap neglected to hook up the clutch starter interlock as well as the fucking reverse lights >Misaligned starter; grinds when the solenoid disengages >Driver's window sticks at halfway point >SRS light lit And the worst part is that after I found all that out, I still bought it. Thankfully I at least had the presence of mind to talk him down from 2500, but I really really should've walked on it.

>>14670 You bought a good looking, reliable car.I replaced all of the top end gaskets on my 2000 bird when I bought it. The engine is not nearly as difficult as it seems to work on. There are some retarded brackets that bolt to the back of the heads, that's about the worst part of it. Please be sure it actually needs head gaskets, if it is blowing white exhaust smoke it probably just needs the intake manifold gasket replaced(extremely common issue in this engine, replace this gasket with an aluminized non plastic version). Do a compression test to be sure. If it does need headgaskets, god help you with those exhaust manifolds. Assuming you bought the 5 speed, enjoy your 300k+ mile car once you do that.

Driver 12/21/2017 (Thu) 21:44:36 Id: edf290 No. 14865

>>14845 Thanks for the reassurance anon. Did you need to take out the entire motor from the bottom to do that or did you just work on the car from the top? I find it almost impossible to get my hands in there and I'm a pretty skinny motherfucker. In addition, after the winter I intend to perform a compression test to diagnose exactly what you said. Should I remove the boots from the bottom because it is realllly tough to get them off from the coilpack and the sparkplug.

Hello auto maniacs! So, as you may not know yet, the horsepower required to overcome aerodynamic drag is approximately 80% on a flat road at 40 km/h speed, and it is proportional to approximately speed3. What is your excuse not aerodynamically enhancing your own car?

>>14700 fuck off m8, plastic bumpers may look ugly, but they absorbed impacts much better than solid metal ones, scuffs came off if you just rubbed your dry hand on it a few times, and were a hell of a lot cheaper to replace. There's a reason most commercial vehicles produced today still use 'em, and that's because they're more of a convenience for someone who needs to drive great distances without that much care.
