How did such a flawed engine layout with the incorrect number of cylinders go on to find so much success with consumers?

Massive OEM use spurring aftermarket development. If Ford does the same thing with their EcoBoost I could see the same thing happening. It just has to be put in everything from shitboxes to exotic fighters.

I think it's an American thing, they don't trust technology so stick with what they know, even if it's archaic.

A thread to discuss about Econo-Pocket-Rockets.
>What is a "Hot Hatch"?
A Hot Hatch is a manufacturer produced, performance oriented variant of a standard hatchback, designed for improved handling, increased top speed, acceleration and generally enhance the driving experience.
>Are all Hot Hatches FWD?
No. Whilst most Hot Hatches are FWD, some are AWD or even RWD.
>Isn't FWD shit?
No. Just because you can't get the arse out by stamping on the accelerator doesn't mean you can't have fun.
>Aren't Hot Hatches just for Europoors?
No; with the launch of the Fiesta and Focus ST in the US, it seems like the Hot Hatch is beginning to take off on the other side of the Atlantic, but Europoors definitely have more choice.
>Is the Fiesta ST actually good?
The Fiesta ST is one of the best small hot hatches on offer at the minute; so yeah they're pretty good.

Have you ever hit an animal with your car?
What if you hit it and it doesn't die? Just let it? Finish it off? Call the police to shoot it?
I hit a deer in my Explorer last year, on cruise doing 60mph. Bent my bumper in it cut my tire. Deer was dead probably the second i hit it. Didn't call the police, just changed my tire, bent my bumper enough to drive home and remove it.
The first time 3 years ago a deer ran into the side of the same car while i was at a stop light. I thought a person ran into the side of my car because i barely saw it until it hit the door. Guy behind me killed it with a hammer and asked if he could keep it. Police drove by saw 2 cars on the side of the road and thought accident and stopped. He gave me a case number for insurance and left

Never hit anything other than a rabbit personally.
One guy I know bought a bmw when he was 20 (it was used but he worked for it so he was over the moon). He left the dealership, drove around a bit and went to his dad's house to show it off. On the way there he hit a deer and totaled it. He said it only felt like a firm bump but he thought maybe the damage wasn't bad.. until he got out and the whole front end was destroyed. He walked over to the deer which was still alive but making weird grunting sounds, and started kicking it in the head and yelling.
Another guy I know hit a deer in his Wrangler which didn't do any damage to it, but he got out as quickly as he could and looked for the deer, hoping to have an excuse to 'put it out of it's misery' with his ccw handgun. To his disappointment the impact was at 40 mph and the deer was still able to run away.

Oh forgot to say, if it was me and the deer was still alive, I'd probably shoot it. I keep a gun in the center console.

Would the Lexus ls 400 or its Infiniti counterpart the Q45 be a good car for a college student? Do you guys think I'll be paying a lot on gas and insurance? I just think it's a nice, roomy, and sex car.

my 95 LS400 made about 22 mpg combined city/highway, and i didn't pay much in insurance at all.
the powertrain is famously bulletproof, but you should probably replace the power steering pump if it hasn't been done, other than that, the things are unkillable
good fucking car
>>
>>15553285
Do you have a job too? If so, sure. Maintenance wouldn't be too expensive. Ls400 needs a timing belt every 75-100k. Not sure about the Infiniti

So I would like to buy a mazda6 v6 wagon and swap over the mazdaspeed bits from a blown MS6.
How difficult would this endeavor be?
I have most of the knowledge of how i can accomplish this from working in my grand uncle's garage and funds aren't a whole big problem.
Just wondering if anyone has some insight on some problems i may run into.

This is the MS6 I was looking at using for the "SpeedWagon"
I'm really hoping the rear sub frames on both vehicles are the same so I could just drop both them out and swap.
Might have to cut out spare tire well which isn't a issue for me.
>>
>>15553171
I don't have any experience so I really can't help much. But the MS6 is AWD with a turbo 4cyl, while the mazda6 is FWD with a V6. You might run into some problems there. I feel like you'd be better off just turbocharging the existing V6
My mom's sister which doesn't speak my language said that she changed the battery and now the radio stopped and a code is required. Where can I find this code ? I don't own a car, never drove and I'm a total noob but my mom tells everyone that I'm good with computers and apparently that means that I can find anything online.
Here is the information that was pointed out as being helpful in my search.
Marca: renault
Targa: CE525VD
Motore: CATALIZZATO
Modello: laguna
Help appreciated. I literally have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking for.

There's a truck like this for sale locally.
I'm thinking of buying it.
It runs, drives and stops rather well and is currently driven daily.
It needs some body work and the paint and interior have seen better days.
I don't have my own car right now so it will be my only vehicle.
I don't really have a need for it either. I just like it.
What do?

Well, if you like it, get it. I'm sure you can find parts for it in a junkyard. And interior can be fixed with some creativity

Can someone explain how the driveshafts of these "bendy buses" work ( I call them accordion buses but fine)
Is there some sort of a ball-joint between the 2 driveshafts or something ?
