arachnofondler (16 hours ago) [-] I thought the GT350R was announced at DMS of '15? This isn't new stuff. It's already been on the track and being compared with the C7's. The 5.2 Voodoo is a pretty kickass engine, and that's coming from a hardcore LS fan. I'll give the Ford engineers credit, they did a good job with it. But honestly, they HAD to. The Z/28 has been kicking various Mustang asses since it launched. Ford's designers and engineers HAD to step up and make something phenomenal to stay a credible competitor.
The Fusion was alright, as well as the new Raptor.
The new Buick Avista 2+2 coupe looks fucking incredible, as does the VLF Force 1.

No spoiler
Ripped top
Leaks like a bitch
Still unable to lock doors.
Steering looser than your mom
No airbags
The basic lived in condition of a teenager
Immobile at the sight of snow

Wheels a bit fucked too but nothing major. Only has 42k miles. People don't want these cars because of the color and they don't wanna put in work they just want a quick flip

apurpleliger (01/12/2016) [-] My Soul already hadn't been truly washed in over a year whenever it got rear ended. The dealer detailed it while it was in the shop which was nice.

raginhardon (01/12/2016) [-] damn you got lucky. the dealershit i got mine from just hid everything with wax and crappy touch up. after the first wash i gave it, it all washed away. im dying to have some extra money to get it detailed like a pro, or buy the shit myself and do it myself. and its gat damn winter right now fuuuuuucc lol.

apurpleliger (01/12/2016) [-] That was about all I was lucky on though. The dealership is in the process of setting up it's kia repair center, so there weren't any kia certified mechanics to work on my car. The dealership's general body shop ended up doing the repairs for the body and the exhaust work. Took 6 weeks. Two days after getting it I brought it back because there was a grinding noise at about 2k rpm because the exhaust was too close to a heat shield. Then I ended up having to bring it back again two weeks later because it stalled out on me. They had it for a week before they decided they had to outsource it because they couldn't replace the fuel pump in house. Then I had to bring it back a third time because the fuel pump the third party shop put in was defective.

cameronj (01/12/2016) [-] Okay I have a decision to make, I can keep my 2000 4door golf with 160k kms on it or, trade it for a 2001 Prelude with 120k kms on the engine and 205k kms on the body. I will comment what the both look like after and the work done
#21296 to #21294
-
raginhardon (01/12/2016) [-] depending on how recent the timing belt and pump were done, thats the deal maker there for me. looks fairly unmolested too.
both platforms have huge community and aftermarket support, so can't really go wrong with either one of them.
also gotta factor in, all the work the prelude has done vs your car and how much all that work would cost you if you decide to keep the vehicle.
I'd be the lazy man and take the one with the work done with it.
just my .2222 cents

raginhardon (01/12/2016) [-] also factor in insurance, your rate would probably jump because your going from hatch back to coupe.
#21300 to #21299
-
raginhardon (01/12/2016) [-] one thing id inspect about the prelude though are all the seals, gaskets, bushings/ anything related to suspension and steering, since it is the orignal body.
The seller didnt state any kind of essential body work being done. thats one thing i would not want to invest in since it is pretty costly to do. not just how much the part cost, but how many parts there are to replace.
You pretty much disassemble the whole car at that point too so = a lottaaaa work.

But I will take a couple guys and inspect it from bumper to bumper

radicalkid (01/06/2016) [-] Okay I have a confession. I'm racist to Toyota and Honda. When I was young my dad told me he hated Honda and Toyota because of how bland they were because he is a truck driver and that's all he saw while driving. After learning about the car's, I learned they are not all bad but each time I see the badge I am quick to assume that the car is boring or it only has cosmetic mods. But later I have to tell myself that are reliable, good cars.

shedinja (01/06/2016) [-] Honda has made a few interesting cars like the NSX, s2k, del sol and the beat i mean it's different, not fast but different
As for toyotas, you're just looking at the wrong ones. The supra, celica gt four(st165, st 185, and st205) soarer gt also known as the lexus sc300&400, mrmysteriousmagic has one ae86 and the mr2 are all pretty interesting and i could name a few more
