>At what age did you grow out of the engine swap meme?

Around the same age I realized mechanics are just a diamond dozen group of shitheels who's only real credentials are being high speed parts replacers/conmen.

>Tfw service writer whose been anonymously contacting the BBB and state fraud unit for the past 3 months about my shops "star technicians"

I really, really hope liberals keep attacking Barron because I think nearly 100% of the silent majority can instantly either identify with him and/or thinks he's cute.

As far as engine swapping goes, when I realized it's cheaper to sell your car with the shit engine and buy one with the good engine than to swap - or basically when my parents stopped being in control of my car.

I hope you've been to school at one point in your life. It'd literally an essay, describe the object or topic, compare and contrast to other similar objects or topics, explain pros and cons of the object or topic, theb explain why any of what you just wrote matters, cmon man

If it's for a job, they probably are not looking for college English levels of literacy. Just read up on the topic, divide it into three distinct pieces, and put it in your own words.

500 words isn't a whole lot. It should come out to about a page and a half if you double space it (which is not necessary I'm sure). Just make sure it sounds like you understand how the system in question works and you're golden.

I'm better with manual skills than writing and counting, it's so difficult :(

I'd get it inspected by the mechanics who say it won't fail...

500 dollar replacement O_O

What kind of car do you own. I've got a German car and it costs like 150-180 for me to replace with a mechanic. Getting the part myself would be like 17 dollars on pelican. Do you have like a super car?

>>16587001
It was mostly shade tree mechanics I asked. Didn't want to call someplace I was planning to go and raise a big red flag before i get in the door, in case they simply overlook it.

But when the sheet inevitably did come off, it was impossible to hide the mid-engine car’s proportions, especially next to a front-engine Corvette. Seeing the mid-engine Corvette and the ZR1 side by side, we can more clearly see the differences between them. The mid-engine Corvette’s hood is much shorter than the C7’s, and the whole car looks like it’s been stretched from the B-pillar back. The hood line is also lower on the mid-engine Corvette, another clue that there’s no engine up there.

............

From NSU engineers working in a shed to tens of millions being thrown at John Deere by NASA and the Department of Defense, the collective information from half a century of research and development has since 1991 been completely stagnant. Warehouses full of rotaries ranging from little mazda sized engines making 3hp per (actual rotary) cubic inch to industrial purpose 3000hp+ natural gas powered units. All sitting there. Doing nothing.
The technology Mazda, UAV engines ltd, any other company currently developing or producing rotary engines have pales in comparison to the above.
UAV Engines Ltd are only building rotaries because they got a hold of all of Nortons tooling and documentation when they went under. REI/Encompass made no effort to sell any of their rights from CWC, John Deere and RPI. Who knows why.

If CWC and Deere's work were able to be built on with modern technology, (like norton and UAV engines ltf) Ward Automotives guess of 85% cars on the road (by 1980) being rotary powered would probably be 85% of all engines, automotive or industrial by 2020.
For the brain dead sea lions, any basic research into John Deere and NASAs work with rotaries will show the future that was killed come 1991.

So next time some little faggot pistoncuck makes a half assed shit post asking "huur if itz so good why is it ded", remember that kikes (and liberals) killed the rotary not apex seals memes

>>16586692
Free bump my man

So what is the future for the rotary engine?

Those wheels would actually look kinda cool if they were a sensible size. Wouldn't you want a bit more rubber for cruising anyway?

>>16586681
That's exactly what I was thinking. 22s would look alright without being fuck-huge. Those are 26s on it.

Bump. Someone chime in.

I'm guessing this is the regular subie impreza not the WRX so the hood scoop is FAKE and that sucks. Was it really too hard to have two different hoods for the non-turbo and turbo cars? I could understand if they only sold non-turbo cars in the USA but they put the hood scoop to somehow homologate that body style for some racing series where they really would use the hood scoop.

>>16586622
Sup Red? Not sure what your referring to

Cost of the parts is pretty much the only issue for the majority of people

Considering you do your research properly, and if you have the money to spare, sure - by all means, go ahead. Hell, if I wasn't poor, I'd be getting an E36 aswell.
