Better built motor due to higher compression

Yea.... It's an acquired smell.
>Harder to work on
Bullshit. You have no ignition system to maintain/service
>More expensive fuel
FAR better fuel economy
>Sounds stupid
It can be louder depending on the motor, but "stupid" is subjective
>Diesel a shit
No, it's not. As someone who owns both gas and oil burners, they are just different.

Holy shit

protip: the wear surfaces on an aluminium block aren't aluminium

An aluminum block typically has iron liners. However, you'll end up with galvanic corrosion. Aluminum is probably worse in the long wrong. Obviously a iron block will still rust but an all iron engine will be better off wear wise

Fiat--cheap Italian piece of shit with horrible electronics that is sure to break down/fall apart

You can usually pull the valve cover snd check. Its easier than the whole head.

>>15948719
How could I check that with the cover off?

Time to import a motor from Japan and strap that in.
If the belt's snapped you can assume the valves took one hell of a beating. Even if it runs, it's not going to go much further.

US spec motors were horrible for imported cars in the 80s/90s, I'll admit that being from Aus means I don't have first-hand knowledge, you're still probably better off importing a motor from overseas than you are buying one in salvage or a reco'd state.

So you are saying, if someone buys this, there is a substantial market that one could resale this car to?

I'm not keen on losing money needlessly.

>>15947688

there is a good chance, if you buy a subashit you will be hated by your fellow american for buying a faggoty piece of shit

Put what your car is rated for. Do not put 87 in a rotary.

>>15946133
Why do you yanks even have 87.
The only ones we can buy here are 90 and 93 (labeled 95 and 98, because why the fuck not?)

>>15946142
But many rotaries, even with turbos, are rated for 87.

and this

when violence started to turn me on and I realized how easy it would be to end a life with a car so I became paranoid and started driving very slowly and cautiously. Psychosis is a motherfucker.

You see this (You)? You won't get it with bait of such poor quality.

I think I went the opposite way and grew into liking mucsle cars. When I first got into cars, I only liked lightweight, high horseower raecars for the street and thought musclecars were heavy, poor=handling, and not even that fast in a straight line. Then I actually got a license and bought a car of my own. Driving around town made me realize that there really isn't a practically need for knife-edge handling and braking. I also developed a taste for classic car styling.

nice meme

check the cooling

twin turbo 800+ hp

the only way to have fun is acting like a retard or curvy roads

going fast is for less than intelligent folks and teenagers who just got their license

>>15948393
If that's the case, then why do so many people here buy cars that are impractical for things other than fun driving, like Miatas and such?

Go out at night and hit a technical road hard. Hard enough to go out of your comfort zone but not out of you or your car's skill level.

If you don't find it fun then driving isn't really your hobby

>>15946871
Fuck you. Im hungry and cant eat pizza

fuck off kevin

I'm in Florida and they are making us work despite the fact that a hurricane is probably going to directly hit where I live. Can't even help prepare because I have to work.

This thread again?
I'll be honest. Mine has given me issues with the power steering hose and tps in the three months I've had it. Both have been more of a pain in the ass to fix than they are on a more normal car.

I also think mine is starting to knock, so I sent an oil sample in to blackstone. Fingers crossed.
