Is there any advantage to long stroke short bore engines from a performance standpoint? the only downside i can think of the opposite point would be that the thermal efficiency its harder to achieve because the engine is bigger (counterpoint: engine deals with high heat better) Or that the engine will need to be too big (again, this is from a performance standpoint, not a domestic one, so that's not counting).
Is there something torque-related that i am missing that makes long stroke better? or is other than a size thing big bore better in every way?

>Is there something torque-related that i am missing that makes long stroke better?
Long stroke engines make lots of torque at low rpms. That's why trucks use them.

TORQUES
better mechanical advantage on the crankshaft (akin to using a long breaker bar on a bolt).
can't be run at high speeds without future space materials though
>>
>>16280345
But why? Wouldn't the higher stroke mean that it takes longer for the piston to reach high compression and makes low RPM reduce torque?
I ain't asking JUST what each thing does, but i also want to understand why.
>long stroke provide better torque at low RPM
Why? is it just thermal efficiency or is it that short bores breath better at low RPM than big bores?

Maybe because they weren't expecting their autistic friend to try something he saw in one of his chinese cartoons while picking them up from the airport?

My father told he'll put money in helping me buy the Renault (Dacia) Duster. I think this is the car to get as I like cheap 4x4s too much.
Does anyone own this here? How is it treating you? How do you like it?
What is /o/'s opinions on these?
Thanks

Yes. In my head. One side of me is a car guy; the other is a logical human being. Both sides meet somewhere in the middle

GIrls who don't know anything about specific models, know that the both BMW and Mercedes have models going up to 700. So a 300 series is lower than 400. 400 is lower than 500. 500 is lower than 600.
So that means someone who has a 300 series car is far below one that is 700. A pretender.

Neverhood is life. Bless you, anon.
I'm not gonna bore you with my life story, I'm just gonna get straight to the point.
I wanna go fast.
I'm poor af and my family has no history or roots in automobile racing of any kind.
How do I get started in racing? How can I get that one shot to prove that I can drive that'll kick-start a career?
Like I said, zero money or experience.

go karts, but its not cheap.
you might as well just get a fast car and hoon it cause getting into real racing is not cheap.

I was thinking go karts, unfortunately the multi-thousand dollar kart isn't even the tip of the iceberg as far as costs would be concerned.

My mom's XJ has been making this fucked up noise for a long time and she's been asking me to do something about it
Replaced (with great effort due to rust) both front wheel bearings and front axle u joints last year with Timken bearings and moog ujoints
The noise is an intermittent click or pop generally when accelerating or turning
I suspect at some point the vacuum disconnect for the 4wd went bad and she drove around on a locked front axle and grenaded the spider gears.
In the interest of simply masking the problem (since I'm sure that replacing spider gears and fixing the disconnect would only reveal a bevy of new and frustrating issues with the front axle), would popping the front cover off and taking the center pin and removing the spiders make the noise go away? I'm thinking just buying a ZJ or scrap XJ front axle might end up being easier...
(not a pic of the car)

Is there a hotline I can call to report these likely illegals? There was no way in hell they were legal and I feel lucky they didn't hit me because i'm also willing to bet they drive without insurance.
Does anyone else have any bad driver stories?
