>exhaust valve timing replaces the EGR function thanks to Mercedes.
Yeah, this implementation of EGR only works at cruising and light throttle for emissions purposes. It cannot be used to cool the combustion under high load, still requiring overfuelling to accomplish that.

>No more camshafts, no more timing chains/belts.
To be replaced with a system that's much more expensive and much less reliable. Not happening.

> Intake valves now control the intake quantity.
Even BMW valvetronic still needs a throttle upstream for a multitude of reasons, two of which are reliability, response and preventing excessive valve lift mechanism wear.

All of these ideas are on the older side, but no one opts to use or rely on them, why?

Switching perfectly fine mechanics to software that only the dealerships can access...

As a computer guy and car enthusiast I can't say I'm too happy with this.

Isn't this form of "EGR" similar to how Caterpillar ACERT engines operate? Making somewhat of a theoretical variable displacement?

I have some Hot Wheels in their boxes. I just bought the cars I used to have as a kid, but brand new in their little boxes.
I also have a Tomica AE86 from the show, neat little desk piece.

All speedos read out. also 10%

As fast as I feel tbhfam. It goes without saying that you use your prudent judgement before deciding to hoon but i've more or less memorized all the popular cop hiding spots and all the roads which are very rarely monitored so i know those roads which i can treat like the Mulsanne straight.

my 80's shitbox has a Mexican installed JVC stereo and stock 80's speakers, and of course it sounds like garbage. Is it more likely the speakers are garbage or the stereo? I don't need hi-fi, but I would like to not have everything sound like a cassette. It's like the opposite of a dynamic EQ goin on when I listen to shitty stuff.

>>15779918
Speakers will be fucked after so many years. Jvc aren't bad for car audio, I'd rip it all out and reinstall it properly with new speakers. Won't be that expensive desu.

Seriously, if you are determined to remove yourself, go find a gun barrel to suck on. Don't take someone else's life with you because you thought a high speed front end collision in oncoming traffic would be a good way to do yourself in.

It's all about outward appearance. Have you ever seen a women's restroom? It's like a fucking murder scene.

These are pretty damn over-hyped. One of my co-workers dalied one and he said it wasn't that bad. If anything his Cherokee SRT was scarier because you don't expect it to be so quick. It's fine as long as your right foot isn't retarded.
