God dammit. First time running out of gas. Here I am stuck on the side of the fucking road. Better not be late for work...

Is it wrong that I ironically want to rice up my EK Civic? I mean, like I want to paint the hood with the rising sun, tint the rear windows and move the front plates to the side for maximum #JDM. Give it some aftermarket coilovers and lower it. Not too low though. Less than 5cm from stock because I'm already scraping shit with this stock height. No fartcan exhausts because they're stupid. But shakotan's are probably illegal too. [editline]22nd May 2015[/editline] I just want to make the car scream Nippon #1 while ironically being an Australian Domestic Model. [editline]ur a faget[/editline] Not to mention there is a chance that one of these is going to come into the market this year, and an open poll had everyone voting for design B. [t]http://www.justinfox.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/11133680_918040558259300_7138760703451640690_n-640x640.png[/t] If design B passes and goes into market it would totally get it regardless of the expensive as shit fees. I mean they have a EU replica and an American one literally based on the Star Spangled Banner why can't we get Jap stuffs.
Last night i passed somebody on the road and when i felt as though my tranny was about to shift (auto) it didnt so i let off the gas a bit and my engine made a sound that sounded like downshifting (idk anything bout cars) then my service engine light came on. My transmission fluid is the right color and volume, what else could this problem be? Its an 04 mitsubishi lancer ES 2.0 less than 100k miles
Snip
Took my truck off CL, having my second thoughts about the SHO now. Figure with a fulltime job I can easily afford to get this MJ running better and maybe still modify it a bit (sway bars, /maybe/ lower it still) and still be able to finally lift my other MJ. Once I get my hankooks I'm thinking about getting the wheels powdercoated white [img]http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q213/C0nK3r_r3d/matte%20white%20shoop_zpsbdtuffrf.jpg[/img] Figure it'll look pretty good as its got all the chrome trim on it now, and the tires wont have as much sidewall either.
Wow NSX GT finished 4th in Super GT 2014 Not as bad as I've thought, but it's dominated by Lexus and Nissan. [editline]21st May 2015[/editline] What do you guys think of its results?
So the new Mustang is actually coming to Norway. Funny thing is that the cheapest version will have an i4 turbo engine and will cost 730 000 NOK or $96 500 and the expensive version with an actual V8 will cost 1 220 000 NOK or $161 700 Norwegian source: [url]http://www.tv2.no/2015/05/21/broom/mustang/ford/6941521[/url] The even funnier thing is that according to commenters, the same car will cost around 360 000 NOK or $47 700 in Sweden
The new Mustang is hideous anyway. The side profile is cool but I can't stand the front or rear.
[QUOTE=Grenadiac;47772371]The new Mustang is hideous anyway. The side profile is cool but I can't stand the front or rear.[/QUOTE] I think it looks better than any generation of the past 30 years. Second gen and 1990 - 2009 being the ugliest imo.

I've never been a Mustang fan and the new one isn't making me one either, but I just thought the prices were hilarious :v: [editline]21st May 2015[/editline] I found a source on the Swedish prices too: [url]http://www.ford.se/Personbilar/NyaMustang/Modeller[/url]
theyre ugly though

Both sounded amazing. Also, to put that Mustang price in perspective, the swedish price is about the same as a Prius costs here.
what's stopping one to import it from sweden?
Nothing, but you'd still have to pay the taxes, which is what makes it so expensive.
[QUOTE=kimr120;47772747]what's stopping one to import it from sweden?[/QUOTE] Ridiculous import taxes which will make it probably even more expensive in total :v: [editline]21st May 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Gulen;47772728]I think I saw two GT500s from the previous gen today, on Norwegian plates even.

When buying a brand new Mustang in Norway you had to go to some import company, and not to Ford.
So I'm thinking about getting an 04 or 06 RSX for my first car. Opinions?
Yeah, of course. I just thought it was a little special seeing two Shelbys over here, especially on white plates. I've only seen one newer mustang before, and it just had dealer plates. Here they are by the way: [t]http://i.imgur.com/8Ky9GhB.jpg[/t]

Anyone got experience with a 60s falcon?
