The buzzing of tuned Micra engines drifted down the foothills of the Welsh mountain, and non-projector HIDs lit up the woods with an eerie blue glow. The setting is a clearing in a forest by the notorious Llanberis Pass, famed for the deaths of six racers on the Llanberis Subcompact Cup the previous year. There was excited talk amongst the drivers, with Baracku Rill the main topic of conversation. "Is it true?", asked one younger member of the crew. "Is what true?"
The conversation is shattered by the screech of four pistons moving to the upper end of the travel and snapping back under the force of an advancing flame front, rotating a crankshaft at 8000 revolutions a minute and climbing. A whistle indicated the presence of a supercharger, using this rotation to spin a powerful pump to feed this flame front with more and more air to support the demands of the driver.
"It's him! That's an SR!"
"The legend of Black Mountain! He's come to support us against the Toyota Starlets!"

Why do these threads always have horrible grammar? Only NEETs should type this poorly.
Are ls1 engines actually good or is it a meme burger claps use to justify not having performance dohc engines?
>>15610082
theyre good. at the shop i used to work out we were building them to almost 700hp n/a. they can go for over 1000hp on boost relatively easily, and they get better gas mileage than my fucking 4cyl 150hp truck.
They actually are really good. Have an unbelievable aftermarket support, as well.

>burgerclaps
Since you're not aussie, you would know how good it was if you were, I'm assuming you're just some assmad yuropoor driving a 1.3 liter diesel shitbox and are just suffering from fox and grapes, don't worry this too shall pass

What's the most expensive repair bill you've ever paid? This includes total parts cost if you do your own labor too. I mean at one time, not accumulated.
What's the most you'd be willing to pay to have your car fixed?
I'd pay to have her car fixed, with a penis.

Just leave your fuckin keys in your pockets, how hard is it.
>>15606911

It takes a bit to get used to, but its like leaving the house without keys. you just dont forget.

did you go on a petrolicious binge tonight or something?
Unless you are racing for competition and money, how a car feels is literally all that matters. Even if you autocross, you're only racing yourself.

Coo-pay, coupe' is a French word, like Americans pronounce 'fillet of fish' as fill-ay, where it's actually fill-it
"But babe, it's so ugly. We can't have that outside the house. You've got to get rid of it."

You are a good person. Steer clear of nissan though, theyre just rebadged renault now
I took a cross country road trip in this guy's ford festiva that I swear to God was getting 90 miles to the gallon. I want this car because of its gas mileage, apparently cheap and easy to work on. Is it worth it or are there better options? It's also a cheaper car to get for a poor fag like me.
Get that or a Metro. I would suggest a diesel otgerwise, but Americans get fuckall when it comes to choices.
