Oh kay, in that case, everyone fire away! Keep it going!
Okay...
for a starter
if a DSG equiped golf GTi is being priced the same as Rx8 base model as it happens in my country,
which will you choose?
Gti got more prestige and being viewed as more mature, delivers impressive milleage, no mod required and as tough as nail. The only compromise needed with this car is the price.
the Rx8 is more sporty, easily modded and got real handling advantage, backed up by 3 years factory warranty. at the same time, it got harsh rides, poor milleage, and you will tempted to blown its apex seals everytime a souped up hondas line up next to you on a red light.
thanks

Both different, want a larger performance car (even though to me its very slow) go the RX-8, if you want a hot hatch then the GTi
Okay I have a question, I've been driving my car for about a year and a half now, I'm pretty confident and all that jazz and I think I'm a pretty good driver(I've yet to get a second opinion :P). I've gotten really used to my car and it's getting sort of boring, but I don't want to get rid of it for a better car and I don't want to spend a massive amount of money on a turbo(poor college student).
So tell me smart car guys, what sort of mechanical tuning can I do to my car to make more power. I drive an R31 Skyline, '86 Series 2 model so it's not like they're rare or hard to find parts for. I'm not sure on the stock power but I've heard everything from 120 kilowatts to 200 kilowatts.
So far all I've got is a cat-back 2.5" stainless steel exhaust, it doesn't seem to make that much difference but I did get it put on when I was still fairly noobish about cars, so I probably just didn't feel it.
Mechanics, GO!

Your car is quite old, here is my suggestion :
take it to a nissan garage, and ask for quote to replace / refit the whole undercarriage.
the rubber bushings, shocks, joints, etc.
more over, look at the drive shaft for wear and tear.
having all that completed, take the car to an auto saloon, and get full interior work done...
What i mean by interior works is polish the whole dashboard, replaces all broken or worn out dials & cluster, etc.
giving a car a full treatment to make it look new...
I saw some one driving 1984 lancer recently and it was beautifull... he keeps the car looks almost new, inside and outside.
since you are a not a racer, it might be a great idea to make your car be good enough and worthy to be kept as an antique collection.
well it would set you back alot, but here is the good new, each step would only cost you so little you could afford, and you can keep doing it forever with out the need to rush.
good luck

i have a chevy malibu and i got bored and started tunning the car up. i figure that alot of people don't tun up malibus alot.
Need help on keeping my car audio safe.
I've recently installed a new headunit in my car, seems a little bit flashy. Good thing is that it has a removeable faceplate but that sometimes might not help.
Though the problem is that what can I do to make it appear if I'm using a factory stereo in the car or just that there is nothing in the dash? I don't need people trying to break into my car to rob my headunit deck. (even though the faceplate is not on I'm sure some thevies will still go for it.)

What kind of car?
Isn't ElectroPoint the one who owns that Mazda 323?
"Some people bring happiness when they come...and some people bring happiness when they leave"
The car is a Mazda Protege (almost same as 323)
Hmm they wont if the face is not on... its almost too bothersome.
btw why not hide the head unit somewhere else? like in the glove box?
its not too impractical...and doesnt need much modifications

I don't know, its very hard to find something to secure it...
Thanks guys, I figured out an idea that I should make a faceplate that resembles something like a factory stereo and use that to cover my new headunit.
