>day driving>crowded as fuck>depending on time of day you have an influx of wagies trying to get to work or home, or worse school zones and buses>always some asshole tailgating you despite you being over the speed limit to begin with>overall less fun and hot as fuck in summers>night driving>practically no one out on the roads (especially backroads)>highbeams make it easy enough to see anything ahead>can drive at your own pace and enjoy the night breezeI don't get it. Why do people always say to never drive at night?
>>27680743>Why do people always say to never drive at night?1. cops2. deer3. drunk retards4. angry boyracers5. bugs are attracted to your headlights and will make your car look like shit in 30 minutes flat
>>27680745I find that cops are more prevalent during the day to be honest, and deer typically come out in the evenings but highbeams make them easy to see regardless as night descends.
>>27680748>I find that cops are more prevalent during the day to be honest,Drive more from 12AM to 4AM, you'll see exponentially more cops. They camp out for the DUIs around that time.
>>27680743Commuter lifestyle has ruined daydriving. I find that despite driving slower ar night i feel a lot more calm and soothed by my drive

Italy as a car destination. Japan, Great Britain, France, Germany, Switzerland all have great active car communities and car events. Italy on the otherhand seems to have great car establishments but no grassroots car scene. Automotive excellence is instead siloed away and shipped to foreigners, you are most likely to see the best of Italy in Switzerland and Japan. Italy has no Le Mans, Isle of Man or Nurburgring equivalent.Is there a single good reason to go to Italy?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCVL5K8iuWg

My 2005 Tahoe is blowing white smoke from exhaust and burning oil like a bitch, also the gas consumption went through the roof. The car is supercharged I paid 10k for it should I sell it to CarMax for 8? This car is having constant issues and I don't want to deal with it anymore is it with fixing.I get like 8mpg
The engine is donezo. Buy a subaru outback, you don't ned a car that big and stupid.
>>27680660>a subaru outbackThat should resolve the oil burning issues.
>>27680645>t. limp wrist runt posting from inside his gym locker lol
>>27677312>>27677301Lol, you bought a 20 year old tahoe and you think white smoke is a burnt valve, you're obviously fuckng retarded. It's 20 years old, for starters, they're gonna need work. It's supercharged, probably by the previous owner, part of why it was only $10k, seeing as a decent SC setup is $5-10k in itself. White smoke, you dunce, its water, it's sucking and burning coolant, you either hooned it too hard, it's probably got a blown head gasket. If it's burning oil, oil burns blue, and you'd know, it's unlikely valve stem seals and most likely burning oil from a cracked ring or piston from some idiot hooning a supercharged 20 year old LS without a proper tune or fuel.>wahh, my SUV with a SUPERCHARGER gets 8mpgMy god damn 502 big block gets 17mpg and makes more power than your shade tree built tahoe.

>>27680627https://emiitautogarage.com/products/infinity-mirror-tail-lights-for-mazda-miata-nb-98-5On further research, they have tinted ones which look less worse while off but I still would prefer red lenses like stock
>>27680665You can use a heat gun to melt the glue that holds the lenses on. Swap clear lenses for stock ones.
>>27680665Thanks man. I like the clear look but I have black paint so it has a contrast going for it. I think with darker paint it would look nicer than a lighter paint.
>>27680718Not sure how well that will work with the brake and turn signals swapping locations between that aftermarket light and the stock NB2 lights
>>27680730In that case, I thick you should stick with stock lights, maybe just upgrade the globes

>>27680668kek one of the managers at one of the branches of the company i worked at snapped up a 2jzgte back in 2021-22 like that. the guy was starting to wonder whether he priced it too low or something because he got absolutely bombarded with offers. manager got it though because he offered 5k cash on the same day, he called up his buddy to pick it up pronto.
>>27680658Should have catfished him after that. Start a bidding war with temp contact info. Escalate, get aggressive, have a high stakes last chance meetup scheduled 50 miles from his house then... don't show"SORRY, FOUND A BETTER DEAL"Then bask in the salt

Also, any idea what that aftermark knob and red-light are for on the center console? I’m wondering if there’s something to control the boost. There’s an aftermarket intercooler and possibly upgraded turbos, not sure. Lots of crazy stuff done to this car (rx-7).
>>27678048it's just a gimmicky button. it's not important because it's not in the immediate view of the driver so its feature is not anything related to performancethere is no reason to have a manual boost control dial, the car already has a tune for best performance, in some newer/modern ECUs you can have a street and race setup so you don't cook your shit on the streets or alternatively the car might be so ass to drive in full performance mode that a street mode is necessary. but for controlling that again the placement is poor and indicates this is not the case. another thing that comes in mind is 2 step but you wouldn't use a dial to control it, it's either on or off. the placement would be acceptable for 2 step as it shuts off once you launch unless you got a retarded system. antilag is also plausible but again, nobody with any sense would put it there and control it with thatyou can tell it's a silly car when there's a dial in the glovebox where the driver can't see it. I'd wager the knob and light are entirely for looks and have no functional purpose.

>>27679027What documentation is there for random modifications on a highly complex engine that's being wildly modified all over the place? Maybe you can get diagrams by respected shops like re amemiya.>muh you can't wrenchNice projection. I fully know it's possible to diagnose all kind of problems without documentations. But be honest - do you really believe that OP who has not even enough self discipline to keep his finances together or a steady job would be able to fix that rats nest all by himself? You are beyond delusional if you do.
>>27679215Luckily the shop who built it in right down the street.I will be taking it to Mr. Fujita though, because he does better work.
>>27678614>>27678048>Samefagging this hard
>rc fWhy don't they make it faster? Unaerodynamic tuned shitboxes regularly break a 3 second 0 to 60.
>>27678178>dodge journeyWell no but my dodge avenger can do 5.5 with good tires, 310HP from a maximal 91 octane tune, a 6800RPM limit, ripping out some interior for weight and changing the spring rates to reduce rear transfer.I guess if I really wanted I could either put one of those 5PSI electric turbos in or for the same cost upgrade the valvetrain and put in custom cams to make 360HP at 7200, and get close to a 5 flat.
>>27678777How is that stupid? Price makes cars compete with stuff they shouldn't. The mustang and camaro v8 are both priced at 40k. The rcf is literally a muscle car competitor. Nobody would be shitting on it if it were 40k cause it'd compete directly with other muscle cars. Instead its on the cusp of gt500/corvette money. Being poor doesn't make a car have any more value. If it sucks it sucks. But price is what determines whether it sucks or not. A 3.6 cts coupe sucks, but not if it costs $20k brand new and competes with the mirage for sales
>>27680163When did I say they weren't? It's just that no one buys coupes because people care about muh practicality while never using the backseats.
>>27680616Well you're right on a matter of general principle, but $40k was a ridiculous number.2024 Mustang GT Premium Fastback is $47k. So, I'd expect the RCF to be at least $55k. Even at $60k it's competitive. You want a premium feeling muscle car, without having the stigma or flashiness. You are willing to pay $15k more because it's Lexus reliability. But its MSRP is $67k, and in reality it's being sold for $80+k. That's the real problem.

>>27674458>>27674474The funny thing is people keep tripping on the same stone twice.Buick's experience (and complaints about being unable to use the interface by feel/muscle memory, the submenus being confusing and clumsy and all that) wasn't enough for everyone to learn their lesson. Now after forcing everyone to endure them for about a decade again they're finally going back to buttons and dials. Fuck the industry and fuck the söyim that bought and even demanded that crap. I wish DIN/double DIN stereos made a comeback as well but it's probably asking too much.
>>27680088where are the new buttons and dials on current year cars remind me?
>>27678156Everything since 1970 has ben a mistake.
Something got stuck and wrapped around a pulley for my power steering. I cant get the belt off now no matter how much i loosen the tensioner. Should I just cut the belt off, clear out whatever is wrapped around the pulley and put a new one on or just keep tugging until the old one comes off? Im kinda worried that if I cant get it off, I cant get a new one on. Especially with how taught new belts are.
>>27679887You can’t take a couple bolts outta the generator?
>>27679887Yes, you can just cut it. You don't get any points for keeping it in a loop.
>>27679887Cut the old one.Even if you’re too retarded to install a new one and have to bring it to a shop, it doesn’t matter because it’s totally dead until you take the first step and get the old one off.
>>276798871AZ-FE? Good luck faggot.
