Is there any good theory resource on gear ratio tuning?

>>16403313
What's the year? Looks in great shape

>>16403313
Are you in the US? More details lad.

>>16403336
Look with your fucking eyes does that look like an American car to you?

>>16402992
Expensive maintenance
complicated for the masses
wastes Oil like a VW
wastes gas like a truck

>>16402992
Probably because piston engines had a shittonne more development at that point, and they never had any company develop them exept for mazda. GM nearly did, they were going to put a 4.something liter rotary into a corvette, but it got killed off just before it was ready.

Someone please make it stop. It's like getting waterboarded with shitposts.

They don't. its the same car with very minor if any difference. sometimes they add a new engine or feature but they usually don't change the outward appearance for 4-5 years at a time and go even longer than that before changing the chassis overall.

>>16402805
So people have an incentive to upgrade to it.
That is literally why. Henry Ford invented that when people slowed down on buying Model Ts, because they already had one.

Unreliable piece of shit that has the interior space of a sports car but no actual performance

Also le dog shitting maymay

>>16402691
Srt6 is fun and can be made into a "sleeper" (in the sense that you're faster than what most people expect)
However the design and build quality are very questionable
I give it a 4/10
Potential project
Never a daily

Is it rear engine'd?
>RF
Would like to see how that would handle.

>>16402289
It's rear engined, rear wheel drive. Its sister car is the Smart Fortwo

With 0.9 turbo engine

>>16402218
It's inferior. It's just a fact.
Anyone who isn't a retarded weeb knows this.

>>16402218
just like automatics it's good for people who give 0 fucks about driving.
For enthusiasts it's shit and less fun.
Besides your car is unusable if you feel like you want to slap in a LS

>>16402218
FWD is a compromise. It trades in performance for cabin space, lower production costs and better gas mileage.

This isn't to say all FWD cars are absolute shit, FWD is perfectly usable up to about 250-300hp and handling has more to do with how the chassis is set up than its drivetrain layout. However, if you're serious about performance, FWD is the worst platform, plain and simple.

Who gives a shit

Fix it and get on with your life

Nice thread, haven't seen it before.

Buy a ~150k mile Tacoma and put another 100k on it. Sell it for minimal losses. Really any Tacoma is a good investment when it comes to personal transportation. At least as far as DD cars as investments go.

Vehicles used for industrial purposes are a safe bet. Old vans and trucks are a nice place to start.

Thanks for the advice. Larger vehicles make me a little nervous in tight parking garages though.

Americans are perfectly capable of driving manual. It's simply that there is no reason to learn since we can afford superior automatic transmissions.

Americans would rather use their hands to eat burgers while driving

>>16401038
I can.
So yeah, I don't know what the fuck you're babbling about.

Much simpler & cheaper to use a tire that is more universal rather than needing special tires for a rather small group of vehicles

Two smaller wheels will also, on a general basis, support more weight

>>16400652

It's a more cost efficient solution so the weight distribution/contact surface issue, also redundancy is safer. I think they might actually be more stable as well but I'm pulling that one from my ass since I just "think" they would be.

>is the dually a meme
I dunno, you see any fucking dually image macros around?

Stop abusing the word meme. If they were a meme they would be long gone like quadrasteer.

Break his legs.

I'll fucking kill everyone in this thread

I would accept him for who he is. But slowly distance him from me and my family
Kinda sad really, That I'll hate my own son

>>16400440
Some guy lifted his jeep and broke it offroading?

>>16400581
Haven't taken it off-road at all yet. I have taken it through mud two times before, but not recently. I have never had it flexed out a lot or any other off-road abuse either. I'm seriously thinking about taking it to a shop, as I am utterly clueless as to what's causing this

Bleed the brakes again and check the connections. Ya dun goofed.
