S14.

>>16084274
lots can, but for how long do you need it to work?

>>16084274
GM Ecotec, and haven't people managed to pull 1000hp from VW's 1.8T?

>>16084215
maybe 1, 2 hp at the wheel?

More sounds
May rev quicker
smoother acceleration


you'll notice more from a pulley kit, and a nice exhaust

>shoulda had a V8

>I bought a v6 because it's more economical and I'm not racing
>Asks about mods

Just get a v8

id rather have a g8 gxp

>>16084190
The E46 was better in terms of power and handling.

However yes its a proper substitute for it, as well as being more reliable.

>>16084198
You would need a 330+ to have more power than the puny little 2.5 in this car. The engine makes bmw fags look silly.

Also no one wants a fwd Pontiac from their dark ages

Doubtful

Mainstream luxury customer group & focus have steadily moved on to SUVs and crossovers, and I dont think I'm wrong when I say that the absolute majority of luxury vehicles being sold new now are those two types of vehicles

Lincoln is nothing more than Chrysler is to Dodge. Slightly upscale versions of the Ford models. They make nothing that is their own.

>>16084201
Except Chrysler is the parent of dodge

>>16084093
snek

>>16084093
Definitely Viper.

Total recall.
Im hella broke

>>16084071
sat in one today. some parts are nice but the trans tunnel has Cruze-grade plastic which kind sucks.

>>16084081
Christ, you're paying for something in the price range of a Benz and Chevy can't even get the interior right?

>>16084092
you're paying for the drivetrain and suspension. If the interior was perfect too it'd be 60-90k like an m3 or m5

>implying this is news

The one liter has been a option since the Mk7 golf launched.

The Octavia with a 2.0tdi is a great dd desu. Nice torque and really low fuel consumption.

Hell, Ford put a fucking 1-liter 3-cylinder into the Mondeo. Everything for those precious tax discounts.

>>16083842
Rust, which you seem to have a shit load of and excessive use.

Massive overloading. Sell it now.

The way that one is broke up I'm leaning towards impact. Maybe it got launched over a ditch or something.

And fwiw springs break all the time. Coil springs do it too

put a bird on it

Change your filters and run some fuel system cleaner through you should be getting better mpgs than that. Make sure your tires are properly inflated and aligned.

>>16083814
Lose some weight fat-ass.

>>16083723
Absolutely. Get it

>>16083723
first gen is goat, second is good but not as good. get the manual or you're a cuck.

Find a 3rd gen TL. Reliable, quick, good handling and you get a v6.

>>16083705
Its been idling while he has been taking photos?

>>16083705
That's not normal.

>>16083713
Most likely. Even idle shouldn't go that high, though. I don't know what the culprit could be.

>>16083667
R129 is goat, too bad the wiring harness likes to dissolve

Get a 600 or you're a pussy

1992 to 1995 models are the ones affected by the bio-harness

They're well built cars, but expensive to keep

>>16083729
thats why i said sl500 not 500sl

noob

Will it steer? Can it honestly be a daily?

Not the best quality, the dealer took this one when it was delivered (I custom ordered it).

>>16083555
You need double the weight

I've stalled a 9500 lb warn pulling a bud out, switched to a 12k on my next jeep

Cheap means slow, and single use at a time, if you're going to be the guy at the top of the hill winching people up all afternoon you need to throw more bucks at it, otherwise the cheap ones are ok

>>16083597
So why even rate them at the lbs!? I guess it's because of maximum x the wires can support?

Can one rip trees out of the ground with the winches?

the 4500LB winch is great in situations you don't need the winch.

However, once you start factoring in resistances, you'll find that the 11K winch is probably more appropriate.

For example, pulling a vehicle out of a rut deep enough to be at the axles means you'll be pulling 100% of the vehicles weight out of that hole, and the 4.5K winch wont be up to that task.

You have to remember, a winch has a lot of different ratings. A 4.5K winch wont have wire rope rated at 4.5K, and will probably be significantly lower. Winches also have different ratings for how much rope is spooled on the winch drum. A winch rated at 4.5K is rated so on a bare drum, When you start building a 2nd layer it can drop significantly.

Even with the 11K winch you'll want to check all your ratings, because that wire rope might not even be good for 3K depending on its size. I believe 3/8's fiber core is normally only good to 3,750, which is what it might have.

The only way to overcome the lower working load limit (wll) is to buy snatch blocks. A snatch block, when used right, allows you to effectively double your capacity, at the loss of half your winches speed as you need to pull in double the wire rope.

For trees you need a strap, and ideally a screw pin shackle. You'll read a lot of flack about shackles, calling them dangerous and what not, but those are also the people who shock load the shit out of their equipment and buy teeny tiny shackles not rated for what they're doing, so they come apart.

When it comes to actually pulling yourself around, give your truck a little throttle, but don't try to outrun the winch and snap load the line when you roll backwards. Always keep pressure on the line to make it spool good and to avoid sudden shocks.

Also, avoid planetary gear winches. They're fast, but lack power. Worm gear winches are the best, tons of power at the cost of speed.

Just don't be an idiot and you'll be fine.
