God op you just suck hahaha

Open the hood and check where the vents go its not rocket science senpai

Just open the hood retard

what does that even mean

>what is a top mount intercooler

Does your car have a turbo or a supercharger on it? If so, the hood scoop may feed air into this thing to cool air coming from your turbo/super

its an outback sport

I think the Outback sports are naturally aspirated (no turbo/supercharger). So the hoodscoop isn't functional other than letting more air into the engine bay, but that has negligible effects.

so im a shit ricer forever? ill never be good....

you could buy a new hood for it :)

Time to save this.

Did this happen?

jesus christ. just leave the fucking hood alone, its an outback sport, that does not make you a ricer.

devilish

If you suck at driving or haven't drove manual before, don't buy a fucking boyracer car so you won't attract people trying to race and make a fool out of yourselves.

>drive classic car through college town
>everyone stares
>some give stink eye because envirofags.

>get a civic and shut up
classic

That's pretty much what you deserve for driving the most obnoxious car you can buy stock.

Lamborghinis are more tasteful than STIs.

I love this feel.My 327 sometimes backfires,due to the cam timing and it's hilarious to downshift in front of envirocucks.Plus,they get more butthurt because of the patina'd paint,as well as the exhaust pipes coming from just behind the cab.

I may have to see if I can get my cammed fox to do this on command since my truck is a gasser and can't roll coal

If it looks even a little bit like a piece of shit people will think you are absurdly poor or something.

Generally, if it isnt show quality people dont give a fuck about classics.

>If you suck at driving or haven't drove manual before, don't buy a fucking boyracer car so you won't attract people trying to race and make a fool out of yourselves.
Or just don't race them? You're your own person, do whatever the fuck you want.

>If it looks even a little bit like a piece of shit people will think you are absurdly poor or something.
1961 is too classic to look poor.
I know what you mean though, some late 70's/early 80's look like shit

>lamborghini
>"look at me look at me I have money" (but know absolutely nothing about cars): the car
>more tasteful than a stock STi

If you honestly think they're giving you the stink eye because they're 'envirofags' you're complete morons. They're looking at you that way because you drive a disgusting ugly heap of a car. They're embarrassed for you.

>If you honestly think they're giving you the stink eye because they're 'envirofags' you're complete morons

>ugly

My truck's mid-restoration cosmetically,but mechanically it's solid as fuck.It's just got patina on the stock blue paint.The chrome is clean too,again it's not done yet.Also,at shows everyone seems to love it.

Why do I never know how to respond when people compliment my car :^(

The point wasn't that Lambos are tasteful...

Hue, doing burnouts for every dweeb that tells you to isn't the only way to play around with a car, and it isn't the only way to use up tires.

HAHAHA that's hilarious senpai.

Jesus why are you even paying for insurance if they won't repair a fucking bumper.

Damage is worse thsn the cars worth.
Even if its pristine.
But if it were a old Chevy Belair or some shit it'd be alright.

Your car can't start in second? Damn you must have no torque

Its oretty thick metal and has alot of seems and lines. Im not autobody tech, I can fix anything engine and likewise but I rather not butcher the car.

Needs paint too im afraid.

For anyone in this position or any position looking to make their cars cool I have the simplest item. Get an intercom.

None and it was uphill too.

Get that almost daily. No one waves.

Having a pre-smog Subaru is suffering.

Not sure how you fucked that up, my 93 celica with a 100hp lawnmower engine could launch in second

I want your engine

my SRT4 caliber hood scoop actually was designed to push air down past the turbo to keep the turbo/exhaust heat out of the engine bay

Autotragic never again

I was on a slight incline.

that was pretty retarded to just not put in in park, but it would probably have failed sooner or later. if you left it in D and had the parking brake on the clutches would not have been slipping, it would just the torque converter. leaving it in neutral would not do that.

Or you could just turn the car off like a normal person.

>college campus
>STI

Fucking richfags. No college kid should have that car while I'm stuck driving a fucking Neon.

After reading up about it, P wears out the clutch too. Now I always baby the transmission and turn it off in D then put it in P.
If I have to sit on the lights, I just keep it in D, even that causes less damage to the transmission than putting it in N or P when the car is running. Wouldn't have said problem if the car was manual

Should have wrote down the bitches license plate and killed her children.

That's pretty salvageable bro. And not in a I ride the bus and watch roadkill so I'm an expert way. It's fucked so just do it. Not like you can make it worse. It will probably need to be drilled and pulled first followed by a filing though.

You must be shit at stick. My hometown has crazy steep hills and I've started in second in a 130 hp 3rd gen prelude easily up the hills.

dude you suck ass. lrn2drive stick.

>lets also kill the viper

pls let me wake up in an alternate universe where the 2017 viper only gets better and is in no way the final year of the car :(

I head they might be killing off all v8s and using v6 turbo
Their only good engines are v8s the pentastar is crap and the tigershark is crap

>FIAT
>its crap

gee whizz who would have thought

Is your transmission made out of paper?

You realize people DO go to college later in life?

I'm 25 going to college post military, and I drive a 2009 Mustang GT.

Peugeot 505 has an auto with that problem. Fluid doesn't circulate unless the transmission is engaged in R or D. Chances are our retarded friend here lives in the Euro refugee zone and bought himself a "classic" without doing an ounce of reading whatsoever.
P.S. Every time you buy a car, make sure to read up on its weak points. Save yourself the pain and heartache this europoor put himself through.

There are a ton of factors that allow me to afford an STi in college. I had to stop spending money on stupid shit like video games and fast food to make it happen too.

My monthly bill for my STi is $296.
