    I was also looking at a Saturn Sky, I really didn't want a convertible and the Saturn's sky base engine was way weaker than than the Crossfire. The Crossfire was also 1k cheaper and in unbelievable condition for the price, where the sky was kinda beat up. Paid 6k.

          but that's the thing, buying poverty spec krautshitters is moronic because they don't magically engineer them differently from their more powerful engine options, if anything they're worse because they use even more brittle plastic. still just as expensive and miserable to repair as the ones you'd actually want, just look at BMW minis

            depends a lot on the particular engine type and era, M112s don't like constant short distant drives combined with irregular oil changes, but other than that it's just an old rubber hose here or there. Having a stick really helps with reducing possible failure points

            Also my neighbor who has a dodge demon and a bunch of race bikes told me his friend who had a c5 in storage for a long time had flat spots on the tires was told by a mechanic to do burnouts and rotate the tires lol. I don't know if I feel comfortable dropping the clutch in a 20 year old car though.

            These simpletons have opinions formed by memes and boomerlore anecdotes. I consider this a win, as nice older German cars are extremely affordable because these sissies are scared of them.
            I’ve owned 4 German cars now, put many miles on them, and have never had any problem worse than a water pump or a wheel bearing. Parts are generally pretty affordable too, you only are going to get into the absurdly expensive shit in S Classes/7 series or other “high end” models, and you’ll find similar with American and Japanese stuff too.
            My old C Class had very cheap parts, and tons of them available too. When I bought it there were a number of busted interior parts and a broken headlight, along with a couple rotted hoses that needed replaced. It was incredibly cheap to get everything back in order with quality/oem parts.

            How important is it to use premium fuel?

            This

            Both me and my nephew had 350z's, and there's a sticker on the inside of the fuel door that says to use premium. I always did, he never did. Both cars continued to run fine.

            I still like to use it, as it tends to have additives to keep your fuel system clean. Also, (in theory,) a good factory ECU will continuously advance ignition timing until knock is detected, meaning that premium fuels will give you (again, in theory) higher MPG's, more power, and less emissions. You have to use premium all the time though, as ECU's tend to advance the timing very slowly over a few thousand odd miles, so you will see little, if any, difference if you just dump the odd tank of premium in between using regular fuel.

    Are you gonna do the m113 swap?

    • 10 months ago
      Anonymous

      Probably not this season, I will consider it after driving it for a summer/fall and putting it in storage. It is definitely not a sports car but it could be a really fun high horsepower highway cruising. The steering is pretty awful but the car feels nice on the freeway. Besides I already have an engine swap that I'm working on, wish I bought the crossfire first considering how easy a m113 swap is compared to LS swapping a fiero.

        It's because it's recirculating ball steering, not rack and pinion.

        If you can get the red ring on the wheels painted black or chrome i guarantee those wheels will look 1000% better and you might not even need new ones. If you could get the black matched to your paint even better

    lolll, but yeah it seems like a relatively easy swap since the engine mounts bolt right up and you can use the same electronics and run it stock. If you buy the AMG supercharged m113k ($4k lmao) you have a stock 500hp motor that bolts in and only needs headers to to be spliced and a swapped front fan with the shroud modified. The m113 e50 makes like 376 hp stock and is only like $700-800 based on some cursory research

    Those wheels look just fine aside from being black and red.
    Nowadays you have many different options of gloss level and color even with powdercoating. I'd consider repainting the wheels in glossy silver to lighten the look of the car and drop the visual center of gravity.
    Also the crossfire suffers from the weird accents. If you paint the door handles, a-pillar and other furnishings body color you'll get a much nicer, less early 2000's look.
