doesn't consume more fuel.
increased cylinder pressure increases torque to fuel ratio.
and being able to use smaller displacement out of boost helps highway mileage.
good thread.

i thought the point was to make similar hp with a smaller motor

Why hasn't the WRX STI gotten faster in the last 15 years while the sports car performance median has skyrocketed? Every new generation only gets a little bit more power, which is made irrelevant by weight increase.
>1998 GC8E 22b
>2.2L making 280HP @ 2800lbs
>2016 WRX STI
>2.5L making 310HP @ 3400lbs
The Focus RS shouldn't be smoking this thing. It should be making closer to 400HP at this point.
For comparison:
>1998 Mustang SVT Cobra
>4.6L making 305HP @ 3400lbs
>2016 Mustang GT
>5.0L making 435HP @ 3700lbs

It doesn't get rallied anymore so Subaru gave up.
>>
>>16297157
the reason the wrx & sti have no noticeable improvements is because subaru fans are so fucking autistic they will buy quite literally anything subaru makes with a performance badge
subaru is allowed to get away with this because they realized their fanbase is going to shovel money into their pockets anyways
if the focus rs was $15k brand fucking new vapetards would still tell you that the sti is better
>>
If it was much faster then all their customers would be dead from tragic highway accidents

Is there any way to transform a regular modern starter to crank?
I'd imagine this would require to just change the main bolt on the crankshaft to allow a crank tool to engage and leave the bolt quickly. Right?
I feel this could be trendy as fuck, specially because of the robustness that would allow you to start with an 100% success rate.
Thoughts?

Hey guys. My passenger side headlight and fog light both went out at the same time. Coincidence of both bulbs going out or bigger issue?

I don't listen to music when enjoying drives.
That's for commuting, you normie.
This is what cars would look like if capitalism failed.
Pictured is a 2015 Toyota Land Cruiser.
On a serious note, why does Toyota make these new cars that look old, and why don't they sell them in the US? Why don't more manufacturers do this in general?
When compared to some of today's designs, these old designs actually have a certain charm to them.

Crown Victoria should've stayed in production until the end of time. hell, every manufacturer should have one car that they keep almost unchanged forever.

Probably cheap-ass muffler shop shit.
Or, maybe not since it's mig.
Cheap-ass white trash shit? Just do whatever you were gonna do and don't worry about it.

Seriously, this Duster with all the bells and whistles would only cost like 20k. That must include AWD with low and high.

Is that really a parody of that guy at a cosplay convention where he dressed like a maid cat-girl and the camera man thought he was a woman on that helmet?
I can get a Subaru Legacy 2017, base, for 21k, 0apr for 60 months. $350 per month.
I can get a 2016 Mazda3, certified used, 8500 miles, for 15.5k. 4.5% apr for 60 months. #289 monthly payment, total after 60 months of $17,340.
I plan on putting around 22k miles a year on whichever I buy.
I'm leaning toward the Subaru. Mostly for the better warranty/reliability.
Advise me.
