/CCT/ - Current Car Thread

I bet it feels kind of nice being any to beat the hell out of the car.

I mean it was 8.7MB before I cropped it a bit and lowered the PS quality to 11. What's the issue with 3MB?

One of many back roads adventures looking for hiking spots.

...

and my civic as well.

Are you... parked on the other side of the street from your house? Can you not park in front of your own house?

Anyway, nice Civic m8? V6?

I really need to take a new picture, nearly 6 months and I haven't bothered to take a new one.

>Are you... parked on the other side of the street from your house?

yeah sometimes my other neighbors park in front of my house, I dont park the civic in my driveway because my stepdad comes home late from work and leaves way after me so across the street is fine. They don't mind at all.

>Anyway, nice Civic m8? V6?

and no not a V6, its a measly 1.8 L inline 4. Its just an '08 Civic Ex.

pic related is where the miata stays, with a car cover.

Hoping unexpected shit doesn't get in the way of finally overhauling the suspension this summer.

Are these escorts easy to work on? I need a secondary shitbox

Any comments on the Cobra Radial T/As? Thinking of buying a set soon. Love your's and OP's trucks.
What's with that front plate? Otherwise it's pretty clean in that black.

G/Ts not T/As.

They're decent for the price, the only thing I could find in a similar size is the BFG Radials which of course are like $60 more per tire. Never had traction issues even getting a little hektik in the thing aside from when it's wet out and no weight in the ass it's prone to doing one wheel peels. I've got some sandbags in the back for winter right now and that solved the traction issues.

>Love your's and OP's trucks.

Thanks m8

Front plate was from when I bought it, now it just has your standard Texas plates on it. I'm thinking of ordering classic black in March. I also have plans to eventually replace the OEM wheels with either nicer-looking OEM wheels or non-ricer/brotruck wheels just to lookbetter and fit the wheel wells a bit more.

...

Pepsi, lol

Hey, why do I feel thirsty now?

'95 GSX, winter car but surprisingly good for sitting 7 years. 1/2

Thanks.
Ah, understandable. Blacking it out further might be the path to go. I'd personally avoid the "edgy" black metal wheels with chrome bolts around the edge any current plans on what you're going to get?

>>Unsure if you were actually offroading or just taking pic on the grass.

My m8 has one those in silver. Same year and everything. Pretty fun little car on backroads.

'85 GTS with 190k on it, summer car and was my DD for 5 years, just did the chain on it. Old picture but it's in identical condition. 2/2

>Not sure on the gold but it sort of works to me.
Is that not brass?

My buddy had a Tempo GL back in the day, drove it like a maniac. It actually handled pretty decently for an econobox of its day, I mean the suspension was soft for ride quality and rolled a lot but it stuck pretty well.

...

Got it in October.
It's been a great daily.

Honestly I don't know enough about truck wheels to make an informed decision right now. I have a few reputable brands in mind, but I have to sift through a sea of mall-crawley wheels to find any clean wheels. I'm looking for something along the lines of pic related, but even then I'm wondering if it's still too much black.

2014?

Maybe a gunmetal gray?

I'd say it's too bright to be bronze.

My son's truck. 94 4x4 with a 351 and automatic.

Too big for my autism

Its a tempo, and yes its pretty easy to work on. Mine has the v6 though so sometimes its a little big hard to get to things

Possibly, my cousin has some of these Mickey Thompson Bajas that look pretty nice, but I don't know how well they'd translate to my truck. I've heard great things about Pro Comp's plain steel wheels as well.

I'm in no rush to get new wheels since I'd have to get new tires to go along with them. My truck is mainly a road truck, so I want something that would fit that aesthetic well.

Get some cragar soft 8s or their 5 spokes in whatever size you want, $50-100ish depending on width and diameter, take em to a powder coater and have them stripped and painted whatever you want, like a nice gray or something.

What is that.

Any differences that really set them apart other than drivetrain?

>Any differences that really set them apart other than drivetrain?
Interior doesn't look lime fisher price plastic anymore.
Seats for some reason feel more comfortable in the ST.
Everything interior wise is just hands down better.

I was nervous to actually get this car before I went to the dealer and actually sit in one because the SE's interior was so bad.
Also just looks better than the SE.

Camry, offroading.

I feel like this is a better spiritual sucessor to the AE86 more than the Toyobaru is.

Getting some bcgolds and RPF1's soon + some cheapo Achilles ATR sports or something.

chat me some shit you fags.

Do you feel a difference in the performance on busy days with 40 people compared to no one on a slow day?

But why?

I didn't say their chromed 5 spokes. I was talking about their cheap steelies because they can look great with a proper paint on them.

>>>Unsure if you were actually offroading or just taking pic on the grass.

There's a road there dumb-ass.

Ah
painted steelies are really cool

Mountains near my home has these unfinished abandoned roads that start like that but quickly just become a slightly cleared forest.

>neighbors park in front of my house
key them, slash their tires and loosen the plate. Those fuckers need to know it's not their personal parking space

Wrong.
Loosen their oil drain plug.

It's kind of a cunt.

nice, added to things I could do to people park in my apartment spot other than boxing them in.

...

nice plate number mate! try blurring it next time.

Slashing tires is too obvious and loud. Alternatively you can open up their brake bleeder valves

...

holy fuck yes

thanks user, could I do anything that doesn't require me to get under the car? I'm mechanically illiterate so pls no bully

pull the valve stem core in one of their tires and walk away before it starts screaming

noice, cheers mate!

if they have exposed lugnuts loosen them up with a tire iron and hope their wheel falls off

you could do this, user, but the valve stem core removal is .. a lot less likely to get them and other innocent people killed. plus its an easy fix too so its more of a hassle

Ok let's go with non lethal hassles.

Ziptie a cowbell under their car

its so good to hear people still love the look of this thing. those cats on /ccg/ typically ignore me for the most part, i feel

Ehhhh on that lettering on the rear. Like the colour.

Got it for $800.
I've already replaced the sunroof and broken drivers side door handle. Now i've gotta replace the radiator and hoses, struts, spark plugs, and front rotors.

The engine and tranny are in good shape, so it should be a reliable shitbox for years to come.

Anyone else here have an pre 94 Audi?

(I'll probably regret posting my reg, but meh)

just recently got this girl

Town Car is sleeping for winter, I try not to drive the F250 in salt, and the winter beater wagon does what it does best. And for fucks sake I can't park in a straight line apparently.

...

That's Gorgeous

lmao I'm back and this seems great.

ROCK HARD

I like it.

Almost bought a Boxster. Nice color man.

Fuckin' Mad Max over here

This is pretty much exactly what one of my dream project car ideas is.

blew up my 85 f150, crashed my grand cherokee, now im on an ex police impala. installed some new whelen strobe lights. it's pretty good.

also forgot to mention the meme buick 3800 garbage blew up so it has a supercharged ls4 transverse mounted meme machine

Thanks for leaving your plates. Saved and reported.

lmao. im a firefighter and have a ems blue and fire red and siren permit

who's the idiod now :^)

>supercharged ls4
Jesus, I'm already spinning my bfgoodrich winter slalom ksi's all the way to 35mph with my 3.4. How many 4T65E-HD's have you gone through so far?
Also can I have your wheels, tranny, steering box, and surv mode light switch?

No he means reported to the mods for being a faggot

Beautiful truck. What year?

original trans, but its starting to get feisty with me. if i slam my foot down when it's in third it fucking JOLTS HARD before going into second. 4 speed and supercharged v8 is not a good idea. probably getting swapped soon.

also no nigga im daily-ing the impooler and everything else is at various junkyards.
well i like dick so...

86 Pontiac Grand Prix with a sbc 350 w/ 305 ported heads. Yes I am currently growing a mullet.

When I first got my Impaler with the 4T65E it would constantly slip. However I've found that the harder I drive it the better the transmission shifts. Whenever I drive it after my dads been somewhere with it it goes back to slipping for a bit. Still down shifts hard under full throttle but I've kind of figured out how to manipulate the throttle to get it to always take off in first. Next spring when the local junkyard is doing another $50 all you can carry day I'll be going for the steering box, left tail light, SS rear sway bar, Monte Carlo SS gauge cluster, hood and left front fender if they have any that aren't fucked.

I'm thinking about getting a set of BFG Advantage TA's and putting them on the same wheels you have painted black this summer. I might be parking it till winter and getting something else instead though.

is that vomit or dirt?

and yeah i need to get a new driver door because this one is dented all to hell and there's a ton of paint chips

or i might just give up and buy a mid 2000s bmw and black it out and cover it with emergency lights

The trio. Silverado is the daily, elc is a weekend/summer car, and the miata is the current project

300zx tarbo

Dirt from youtube.com/watch?v=R6YoWYweKo8

I want to fix this car, but I know that it'll be fine if I just leave things the way they are with the exception of the brakes. And if I don't spend money on this I could have a Firebird or something else cool this summer.

>not getting a mustang gt

it's like you want me to make fun of you

My Xperia Z5C's camera is surprisingly crap

Tempinator

Had one a few years back, best $650 car ever

Current ride for the winter

pls give

try not to be jealous, lads
