F Type for sure
I don't know of cute is the right word but I've never seen a car that looks so much better in person compared to pictures than the F Type.

even though hyundai has been making some amazing cars recently with the genesis sedan being one of the safest car on the market and the genesis coupe being an amazing cheap sports car and overall making quality cars, this fat cut will still have everything bad to say about them because of the name "hyundai"
and he will refuse to drive one so he will never have to prove himself wrong

Throttle is drive by wire and you'll feel the lag when accelerating hard. Had one, don't if you think you are mechanically inclined to convert it to a cable operated throttle body.

So the EPA has been lying about fuel economy. I noticed this recently during my research on fueleconomy.gov, which is run by the US Department of Energy. These results have also spilled over into Canada where the NRCAN is showing basically the same thing.
In some cars they show CVT transmissions as having better fuel economy then those with manual transmissions, sometimes by a considerable margin. While CVTs are nice on paper, anyone who has owned or tried one will tell you that they are not more efficient than a manual trans. The most obvious indicator of this is 0-60 times. Manual trans always wins 0-60 vs a CVT on the same car. If the car has the same engine, and the CVT is slower, that obviously means something is adding drag to slow it down. Heat is also a big indicator; does a manual have a transmission cooler? No sir. Does a CVT have a transmission cooler? You bet it does, and it's because of all the waste heat generated by inefficiency. How anyone with a brain could surmise that the car with MORE drag would take LESS fuel is beyond me.
I suspect some level of government corruption here. Maybe automakers are paying off the feds in order to make CVT transmissions more attractive and generate more sales. What do you all think?

Probably
Nobody wants crappy cvts anyway
>>
What about the CVTs ability to cruise at optimal rpm vs the fixed gearing oa traditional transmission.
>>
>>16625366
Dude I'll be honest with you. This is the most retarded analysis I have ever seen. A manual transmission can be manipulated to meet certain circumstances. Autos and CVTs are pretty much programmed from the factory to optimize fuel efficiency. It's not some conspiracy that a manual which wrings out the gears to their fullest is going to be less efficient than some CVT which prioritizes low RPMs

So I have an 87 Daytona I got for free. It's been in a field for 18 years. I'm gonna cut the blow 2.4 out and RWD swap it. I have a 700r4 I got for free. I have a Ford 8.8 out of an F150 I got for free. I have a. Edelbrock 600 cfm carb I found in the ditch that works. So now I'm thinking, where do I find a free small block GM? I'm thinking of just a 305 since they're not worth anything. Ideas?

So I have this idea, and I wonder why no-one else has done it before.
A Wiki about cars and maintenance, where write-ups will be posted about every maintenance process and every mod people have done write-ups on.
It would be great to get new people into wrenching on their own cars, and it would promote vehicle awareness, why isn't this done?

What are forums?
Also do you think that ordinary people are smarter than a mechanic?
>wrench themselves
>average American skipping ordinary manteinance made by a mechanic

>>16625119
Yes, forums are great for in-depth info, but if you can collect all the basics in one spot for easier browsing, that would be beneficial would it not?
Also, not everyone is an "ordinary American", we're promoting awareness here, those who want it would be able to access the info more readily.

Hello motorcycle enthusiasts. I need you help.
I want to buy a sportsbike, though have no knowledge of them. I've only ever ridden a XT660.
I had my eyes on a Ninja 650 or a Yamaha XJ6 F.
They say the Ninja has low rev and is better for street while Yamaha is high rev and better on the highway.
I have no idea what that means.
What's the difference between a low rev and a high rev bike?

Just got an 07 Silverado 1500 LT with z721, 4.8 and pretty loaded on the inside, auto climate, etc. No leather. Not a fan of no screen/bluetooth but that's an easy fix. 102k miles. Paid 14. No rust that I can really find. How did I do?
My first truck in years and I'm pretty excited to do some stuff to it. Ie level, bigger tires, etc.

sup guys
anyone here own a kei truck? i bought a 91 KS4 Subaru Sambar with the carbureted .6L engine, have to pick it up friday and drive it 6 hours back on the highway. supposed to be -5c out, fridays 1 hour of driving and saturday is the remaining 5 hours
anyone know if you can nurse the carbureted version at 80-100kmh for 5 hours straight? all i could find is a guy saying he drove his supercharged efi model for 10 hours and it handled going 100kmh but nothing on carbureted. should i hang a rosary from the mirror just incase?

Don't worry about the cold. The radiator is right in front of your knees
100km/h is literally top speed on the base 666cc models as that is the end of all your gears
It's really dependent on the person driving to what they would consider comfortable.
80km is most likely the sweet spot on them
>>
>>16625336
80kmh for 5 hours straight shouldnt cause strain or overheating though? i picked friday because its -30c outside right now but friday onward is only -5c
