in high school someone let me borrow their subaru legacy outback to go get more beers and i took it to a gravel parking lot and then i did that thing where you can start spinning the car and if its AWD you can do donuts within the radius of the cars wheelbase and also a bunch of swedish flicks and even a J-turn 360 because i really wish i was a rally driver more than anything in the world

i wish econoboxes with manual transmissions were cheap here but they carry a premium because dumbass ricers will put lovely rims and mufflers on loving anything. it doesn't matter if it barely made 120 horsepower when it rolled off the lot or if it's rusted to the point it doesn't have paint anymore, it will probably get sold for like 2+ grand i just like driving manual i learned on a mini cooper though and i gotta say gently caress mini coopers, holy poo poo

the parking lot at my work is dirt so when I stay late and I'm the only person leaving I like to burn out the whole length of it and then shift hard into second and slide around the corner like a rally driver

I've always driven manual trannies and idk why because it's just another thing to break down on you and a new clutch is loving expensive. Oh I remember why, a girl I liked in hs said she thought it was manly to drive stick.

nigga crab pollock posted:torque converters are more expensive A T56 swap is part of my planned upgrades to my old Caprice. Not because the original transmission has any problems, but because driving an automatic is boring. It's going to be a pretty big undertaking, because manual transmissions were never an option on that car, but there's a company in virginia that makes a kit for it. That's about $8k for the kit and associated parts. If I didn't need to use my truck for things, I'd give that one a manual (and new cam, ported heads, exhaust, etc) as well. That year actually did have a manual as an option, so it should be simpler to get and mount the various parts, but we're still talking a few thousand dollars worth of stuff to change out.

If you need to swap out your clutch before the car falls apart around it maybe you should learn to loving drive. (or do less redline clutch dumps)

I traded in 2002 subaru with manual transmission and 194k miles and it still had the original clutch. My dad is more proud of this than any of my other life accomplishments.

If you're posting in this thread you should consider playing dirt rally. It's a fun game about beating on fake cars and you can save money on clutches.
