Which engine type is best engine type?

because it has a nice sound, but is smoother than a 4 banger
>>16473107
Twin-row radial 14
Should I buy a BRZ now, or do you think there will be a better engine option or better new car for the price within 5 years?
>>16472981
>or do you think there will be a better engine option or better new car for the price within 5 years?
No
Buy a used one with a turbo/blower kit already on it as they have fuck all power stock
Guessing they will come out with an update soon. Not a 5HP and red intake update, but a real one.
>>16472981
No. There are way better cars out there for 25-30k.
>2020 Ford Bronco announced
>Almost certainly based on the aussie Ford Everest (Ranger platform)
>No 2 door option
Just fuck my brand up, senpai.
>This will never become a reality
:'-(
>tfw 2 door SUVs or even crossovers never again

Posting so I can find this thread.
Why do they have such a big following in Germany and Japan?
Germany and Japan have access to every worthwhile car on Earth and yet there are still Corvette clubs.
>>16483518
Because they want a godmachine.
Not some euronipshit with a 150hp 4banger or a 1.3l diesel with 80hp
>>16483518
grass is greener mentality
same works here
Im sure on the japanese version of 4chan some dude asked "why are these stupid westerners love R34 GTR's"
Tells ya something about how good it is, huh? They're willing to pay the crazy import markups for an absolute godmachine.
Strongly considering getting a grand vitara.
Are they just rebadged GMs?
I heard they have a mazda designed V6 in them.
Are they true 4x4? Do they have low range? Do they have LSD or lockers on certain models?
Are they even worth looking at?
H25A is a pretty good engine except the timing chain issue which affect every H25 out there (cant tell for the H27A).
Front diff is vaccum activitated with a pump in the front bumper, i changed mine its pretty easy. If your 4x4 wheels is flashing that is the most common reason.
Manual shifter transfercase is fun.
The 2.5 have a lot of torque, very fun engine.
If you ever have to change an upstream O2 sensor that is one of thr most shitty atrocious job I have ever done on any cars.
Except all that, pretty good truck
Get the manual.
>>16483300
Reply because dub dubs.
All this questions, Google can be.
Except last question. Yes, worth a look.
Also the H25A is a closed deck engine all aluminum.
Some small planes runs on these engines.
What are your thoughts on Dodge absolutely burying GM and Ford, how will they ever recover?
SRT is the only good part of FCA, the rest is garbage.

What did dodge do now?
Are they making a muscle car turn?
Are they not building a land barge?

So I bought my first non jap car this weekend. A Volvo 240GL Wagon.
Today the car died first in line at a major stoplight so I spaghettied out with my hazards on and checking the terminal connections and she wouldnt start. I then reached for my battery jump box and when I hooked it up she fired right up.
Last night she did something similar when I was coasting down a hill the dash christmas treed all the lights and the engine started to shut off but I caught it just in time and gave the car gas to rev up and she resumed back to normal operation without cutting off.
Is this an alternator issue or something more serious?
any help is much appreciated. Thankfully I have other shitboxes to drive.
Have you cleaned the flame trap yet?
Do that.

came here to say this or IAC valve

What Corvette is this ?
WHAT IT IS??
Some kind of weird dodge fiero with a bodykit.
>Base-Model Fifth-Generation ( aka C5 ) Corvette.
Is the 5.7 hemi engine a meme
>>16482153
Is it anything like the proprietary cartridge developed by FN Herstal? If so, yes.
>>16482153
It's not a meme but it's not a hemi either.
Dodge fag here
It's a good engine but it's now obsolete compared to Ford's 5.0 and GM's small block line. Back when it was introduced in 2003, it's power output was impressive.
>Ford's F-150 had the 4.6 ( 248 hp/294 lb-ft) and 5.4 (300 hp/365 lb-ft)
>Chevy Silverado had the 5.3 (285 hp/325 lb-ft) and 6.0 (325 hp/370 lb-ft)
>Dodge 1500 had the 5.7 (345 hp/398 lb-ft)
As you can see, in the early 2000s it was the best of the best performance wise. However, Ford and GM kept updating and creating new engines such as Fords 5.0 and GMs 6.2. It's an old engine in dire need of replacement or a major update.
Are they quality cars?
They're getting better, but they don't last as long as Hondas or Toyotas.
Yes
No
>>16481739
how many miles can i expect to get out of an 05' ? its already got 145k on it but i keep up on its maintenance
If you don't buy Fiat Chrysler or Ford you're a disgrace and an embarrassment to your country.
Daily reminder that SRT Hellcat engines are built in Saltillo, Mexico.
We're not all burgers
And I refuse to buy any norwegian vehicle

Thoughts on buying a car with a salvaged title?
The guy wants 12k but a quick search shows it's been wrecked and sold at an auction (most likely where he got it)
Pic related. Drives good and looks good
offer 6k?
14 civic 2door 40k miles
Not worth it; never buy a dd with a salvage title. Take your money elsewhere
>>16481210
>salvaged title?
>The guy wants 12k
Walk.
>>16481210
Depends on how much you want it.
In 03 I happened upon a 98 Trans am with 40k miles for 9100. It was salvage title and looked flawless inside and out, had been run into on the drivers side. I was looking for either an lt1 car or a 79 older bird because I didn't think I could find a newer one for the price I wanted to pay. I bought the 98.
260k+ and 14 (hard) years later I still have it and just retired it as my daily driver. Salvage or not it was a fantastic, reliable car and I couldn't have been happier with (and never doubted) my purchase.
New bread for anyone that wants to jump ship
