lol fuck off weeb
This is why I don't like driving in the passenger seat.
Most people that think they are god-mode drivers try to show it off with people in the car, people that are actually good at driving anticipate on everything and don't endanger other people's lives.
When I hoon on public roads, i do it alone in a an environment where I couldn't harm anyone but myself and a tree.
at first i hated the way the front looked, but now i realize it reminds me of a hound puppy.
now i can't stop loving it.

Just g/o/t rid of my wagon and really down about it I'm looking for something else. Fuckin let it go, guys like I really fucked myself $2100 and the only mechanical issue was oil burning (1 quart per 500 miles) fuuuuck that car did everything for me

Reeeee still pissy

Nothing of value was lost
/o/k 2 questions: So this thing makes roughly 190hp and 73lb-ft. A Civic B18B makes about the same HP but 118lb-ft.
1st question is how do they engineer these engines to have similar HP but different torque?
Secondly, say these two engines were placed in identical cars with all else being equal. What would be the real-world differences in those figures?
>>16761719
They have lower torque but much much higher RPM.
HP is calculated from both torque and RPM, so an engine with low torque can still have high HP by having high RPM.
>>16761749
OK, I didn't factor in RPM. So regarding my second question, how would these differences be felt on the road?
I could never get my head around the relationship between the two values. I mean, people say that a high torque value means the car will accelerate better. I guess that loosely translates into more "pull".
What then does the HP value influence?
>>16761719
Power is just torque * RPM. Higher torque with the same power means an engine is running at lower RPM, that's all. If you're using lb-ft and HP, you'll need a unit conversion, so the equation is this:
>HP = (lb-ft * RPM) / 5252
It doesn't actually matter what the torque or RPM at the engine is, because you have gearing to turn it into whatever you want. In an ideal scenario (no friction losses), your power at the flywheel is the same as your power at the tires. This means that as you increase the RPM of the wheels relative to the engine they receive less torque, and vice versa.
Now, we throw a bit of a wrench into the works when we consider that engines don't have linear power output. So you can't just run at a lower engine speed and a higher gear to get the same effect as a higher engine speed and a lower RPM; your power is going to be different between the two engine speeds.
Ideally, you'd want to keep the engine running at peak power the entire time for the best acceleration, which means a specific RPM. Then you'd use gearing to match that to your road speed so you're accelerating rather than doing a burnout. However, this would require a special race-designed CVT that doesn't exist.
So instead, we add more gears to our gearboxes to keep the engine as close to peak power as possible. You don't actually want to shift when you reach your peak power RPM, because power curves are bell shaped. Shifting at the peak means your average level is lower than if you put the peak in the middle of your shift and benefit from the highest parts of the rising and falling slopes.
In a very peaky engine that has an aggressive slope to the power curve, it can be difficult to shift at exactly the right point to benefit from the maximum amount of power between shifts.

My thing is I'll say its an old plate from a friend and I just bought it, if anything.
>>16761220
Even my tiny county in a rural area in a shithole state has plate reader cameras on patrol cars.
Every jurisdiction will have them before 2020.
Be sure to take pics when your shit is impounded, last time you'll e very see it.
Why does part of me want a Scion IQ?
Because it's cute.
Also it's Toyota iQ now.
Because they aren't produced anymore, and because they are way better than Smert ForCuck.
It looks 100% like those micro RC cars
You have precisely 15 seconds to justify why you haven't LS swapped your car yet.

not $5000 if thats what you're asking
a one million dollars probably

What the seller is asking, and what it may eventually sell for are two separate platforms...
I bet it doesn't sell, just gets relisted...

What's it like to actually own one?
if you're a normie -> poorfag hell and shame but cheap to run
if you're an enthusiast -> fun and enjoyment driving and working on it
>>16757587
Why hell?
>>16757612
because normies who buy them are usually utterly poor.
they don't like the looks of the car because it looks too happy for them and silly but it is pretty much the cheapest you can go with a car so they buy them and driving them while grinding their teeth and fantasizing about a brand new, ~STYLISH~ car.
twingofags on the other hand appreciate it for having tons of room for a very small car, clever space concept that makes it possible to haul a fuckton (also great to deliver pizza if you're that desperate), bulletproof engine that came out like in the 60s, laughably cheap maintenance and running costs and the silly smile that greets you each morning. also if you're lucky, a giant roof that almost makes it feel like a convertible

first for don't forget to give thumbs up to lan evo drivers
I want to import a car from germany, most of them seem to be sold by car dealers.
Anyone know about the general condition of the cars? Seeing how anal the TÜV is, would it be safe to assume that most of the cars would be in good condition?
>>16756053
If i ever seen one i will definitely. But sadly not many Evos in Denmark.
given that the car's power comes from energy obtained from igniting gasoline, what is theoretically the most powerful engine possible? it seems like >400hp cars are pretty commonplace now
>>16755423
Top fuel dragsters make 5 digit hp using traditional cylinder engine design. I think rockets or jet engines hold the highest hp numbers.
Depends what you want to move and how long you want the engine to last. A top fuel motor makes ~11000hp from 7 liters. People do 1000+mile trips with 3000hp drag cars. 1700+hp crate engines are readily available and are completely streetable and DD'able.
If it weren't for emission bullshit we'd have production 600hp hothatches and 1500hp hellcats, Way to go California and Europe.
the more air that passes through the engine the more 'powerful' it is.
depends also if you are measuring how much torque it produces or work done.
