VVT is a way to "cheat" performance out of an economy engine. So are most modern turbos (looking at you Ford). There's no reason not to combine the two.

Wtf? Variable valve timing isn't about "bouncing air waves" into the combustion chamber you fuckhead what does that even mean.
Vvti is used to adjust cam profile to allow for to come in sooner in the cycle, allowing faster combustion. Variable valve tech isn't even hard to understand. Get your autism checked.

I would tell you to kill yourself, but it seems you're going to end up doing it anyway

I have a W30 MR2. Only had it a month now and I'm having a blast with it.

MR2 owners are a bit cultish but really friendly. Don't be surprised if other MR2 owners you meet randomly ask you to add them on Facebook.

Also, don't buy it if you don't like attention. Strangers will always ask questions about it/take pictures of it.

They really aren't kidding when they call it a poor man's supercar.

Because it makes no sense.

I think they're common here in Europe. Fairly sure VW has a TDI hybrid Jetta

I don't know anon but why don't they make an 8 cylinder engine like this and not shaped or straight in a line

>>17025576
If you're road tripping you should always be taking the back roads unless you're on a schedule. Route 66 and whatnot.

I think that's the best way to travel for sight seeing

Interstates are good for getting there fast just don't expect scenery and the only place is exits with gas stations and truckstops

>>17025585

how do you find solid backroads without scouring a map for 15 hours?

Watch the Green Hell near December. This car will probably be testing there.

Odd, don't most manufacturers use a narrower valve angle these days because that's supposedly better for performance?

Well Ray Donovan is kind of like a 'mobster', he drives basic bitch Mercedes.

But the answer is; whatever company provides them with cars/money for low key advertising. It might be
Lincoln MKZs or whatever they are
Daddylac CTVs
Any Denali

Push down on the corner of the car, if it keeps bouncing instead of returning back to where it was, it's fukt m8

>>17024705
If oil shocks covered, they fucked are.

>>17024718
shocks can still be fucked, yet still stop the car from rebound. u dumb as fuck Justin.

I've always wondered why Euro engines (Mercedes V8s with twin turbos, for example) make literally shit power, unless they're tuned aftermarket.

>>17024639
Because yuros aren't allowed to have fun

>>17024639
because europeans do stupid shit like twin turbo a 3.5 v8 not a normal size v8

picture is from google obviously.

Wait until he has to fix anything.

>>17024592
true for cars like this. luckily he took a warranty(not cheap-but will pay off).

Rusted out and crushed because they stopped doing that in 1989

>Where are all the RWD subcompact hatches?
RWD isn't viable for econohatches for a variety of reasons:
>drivetrain losses
>reduced cabin space
>more effort to assemble

Basically RWD interferes with everything an econobox needs to do and adds nothing for most people.

Wagons a best.

It's like comparing Daytona Speedway to Nurburgring. One requires an ounce of driving skill while the other tests man and machine.

Do you'll cowards even wangan

Lexus RC.
Similar body, just larger, with a fuckhuge gas tank (I think it's like 18 gallons or some crazy bullshit) and all of the Lexus amenities.

>two of them are already leaky
>checked these little filler nipples

Wat?

I bet if they actually are loosing air it has something to do with the bead. If you have aluminum or alloy wheels and they didn't clean the rim it could be leaking from there.

Pic related. Perfect example of a rim leak

Dunk them in water, preferably soapy water.

Check valve stem, check the bead, look in the tread for small objects.

I have to do this shit ten times a day, you pick up a couple tricks.

>Aluminum Chrysler wheel leaking around the bead

Wow, something you don't see every day.
