Nah, I was just baiting you.
On a serious note, it seems to me as though the FT86 is better suited for a supercharger than a turbo set up. I’m planning to install a harmonic damper (Fluidampr) in the next few months or so. Upgrade the stock brakes when they wear out. Next, get the HKS oil cooler. Maybe after that, put in a better exhaust header without a cat. Within five years maybe? I’ll have the HKS supercharger kit.
Gotta take it one step at a time cuz’ that shit is expensive.
The Hyundai Veloster is probably the only hatch id drive mainly because it looks nice in orange and even comes with turbo
I know these are suppose to help with down force, but jeeze, it’s like they can also pick up satellite tv with this:
Sorry about the facebook link, and for those that don’t have an account, some of the pictures is of time attack cars with giant front diffuser thingies.
Anyone have experience with the V6 Accord coupe with auto transmission? good? bad?
My coworker has one. It’s pretty good.
what year, and is it new or used?
I have a 2012 v6 accord coupe. Its good
I posted it earlier in this thread
its a little different now. I plasti dipped the grill and H symbol. debadge the V6 and ACCORD. 3k HIDs on the fogs
2016 New. Ive driven the i-4 EX, but i started thinking about the touring lol. In any case its a nice step up from my old corolla. If I can snipe a good deal on the touring ill jump if not, prolly an EX. Or a tacoma, cause Texas you know.
Tacoma are so big might as well get the Tundra. My o the r coworker has a tundra. Them suckers clean as hell though.
I don’t want a full size truck, the crappier mpg and note lol. They look nice especially the GMC Denalis but i just dont have a need for a full size truck.
if anything i want a slight higher sitting vehicle because of all the houston floods which is why im considering the tacoma in the first place.
Living in Texas made me hate trucks. Everyone drives them and act like they own the road, smh
Get a Chevy Canyon/GMC Colorado. They make diesel versions.

Nah, i dont buy american.
The old school TRD Tacoma’s that were very small with a V6 were boss.
I’m going to assume auto too.
It’s a honda, you get enough for what you pay for at 35k. The 4 cylinder is a work horse engine and will last you, that Kseries engine is the best N/A 4 cylnder made ever. Period, it’s like the LS of v8’s. The thing about the v6 is that you are going to chance issues becuase they tend to fail due to massive carbon build up and require the engine to be disassembled. Unless you can do that on your own, it’s canto cost you a lot of money if you plan on keeping this car for it’s expected life (200k easy) because direct injection is still a new technology and it’s a chance if you get fucked over or not. But it’s a Honda and if you get rid of it in say 60k, you still get a good chunk back.
Tacoma? LOL get a diesel if you are going to full “TEXAS”.
Consider an SUV then? But it would have to be used if your budget is 35k, and I doubt you’d want a high intrest payment
You should reconsider that depending on what your needs are.
American trucks are the only trucks you should look at if you buy a truck for actual truck duties. Those small japanese trucks won’t cut it if you do actual stuff with them because they are based to do one thing only and aren’t engineered to be versatile like full sized trucks (they are still more car than truck), and American companies have been diverting most of their RnD into trucks since after the 60’s because trucks didn’t require the same standards as cars. This is especially true of the Heavy Duty Diesel trucks becuase and American companies have been waging nuclear war on each other for the past 30 years trying to one up each other. The truck market is the most competitve market in the United States, and it’s actually most compettive sector of the car industry.
New tundra’s still can’t cut it. They weight a ton, have low output, and can’t haul or load anywehre near as much as the American counter parts. But it is the most american truck of the bunch, so you get that.
If you get a truck for small purposes, tekno is right about the Tacoma being strong work horses, but they suffer from some stupid tax, where it’s better to buy a new truck than an old one becuase they can still cost you up to 10k for something with 200k miles.
YOu should look into the crossover market.
The GMC arcadia is 35k, the Toyota Rav 4 is 25k starting and goes all the way up to 35k, the honda CRV, Ford explorer with the ecoboost (best turbo engines on the market by far). It seems that this segment would better suit your needs if what you want is a compromise of height and fuel economy.
@pedoviejo thanks for the input. i typically i use 93 octane with technron, so unless thats all marketing I shouldnt have an issue with carbon buildup?. Have been doing that in my corolla for about a decade and no issues and it has more “spunk” compared to my parents 07 corolla that uses 89 (mine is 06). The thing with the tacoma is the resale value aspect. I really have no need for a truck. I dont haul stuff and only recently could have used one for a week or so, but thats it. so my reasoning for a truck is saftey and ride height. in my part of tx, the streets flood EASY with little rain. My real problem is i dont know where my life is gonna go after college (may). if i have a familly in 2-3 years im gonna need a bigger vehicle than a coupe which the truck is a hedge against. if i dont, then im gonna beat myself up for not going for the coupe.
budget wise, i should get the i4, but i compromised the first time because of budget, i dont want to do it again.
crossover wise i like the GLA.
my MAIN issue is headroom and kneespace.
Then look at cars like the Acadia, gla, rav4 etc if that a what you are concerned with room, comfort, safety, and collision safety. It covers all your bases. But idk if you’d still want something “sporty”
