Since it's been discussed in a thread days ago... Do you think your work is art, considering the classic definition of art?

>>14896935
Where did you go to school? Did you major in any mechanics or engineering?

Why is everything you fuckwits design so god damn ugly nowadays?

>>14896367
Whoever designed this has either no self-awareness or way too much of it

I'd buy it.

>buying into the "if it ain't new it's garbage" meme

>wanting a modern "car"
>not buying an E39 M5 and supercharging it o create the ultimate sleeper

Serfs guna serf.

if it aint broke don't fix it. i'll keep driving well into 300k miles if it'll take me there.

Sounds like a whining child, looks weird in an engine bay, inferior to modern turbos.

parasitic
lasts longer than turbos
t b h idk pham, im just a measly lil benchracer

>>14888945
Instead of exhaust gas sscavenging, it uses the camshaft to sap power to compress the air into the engine. Its good for lower end power. Its more instant than turbochargers. Usually less of the turbo lag people talk about
Although nowadays turbos are getting better and better.

I've been selling Toyota for a year and have been doing very well, but my dealership is very crooked (rampant wage theft) and I need to move on. I think my strengths would play well at a luxury brand. From a sales standpoint, which do you think would be the best to sell? I like Toyota so Lexus would seem good, but I imagine Lexus customers being the most difficult to work with (mostly not excited or excitable about cars, lots of Jews and Indians and really old people).

LPG welp can't go to sleep now......

>tfw want to ask something but don't know what even though you're in the market for a used car

you sound jealous of my EG Hatch
it has a few simple mods

>>14891183
thats an ek fgt.

Much higher compression ratios, they dont make a vacuum hence always need turbos or superchargers, built tougher/heavier. example a cummins 3.9L 4bt (baby 6bt out of dodge diesel trucks) are 800 pounds. Compared to 550 pounds for a chevy 350. They dont have throttle bodies, theyre controlled by the amount of fuel. Idling takes minimal fuel... lots of little things are different.

>>14886774
uh, they dont have spark plugs? that is why their compression ratio is so high, the compession causes the ignition instead of using an electronic spark plug. because of this diesel (compression ignition) automobiles are almost always super and/or turbocharged. other than that they are the same. diesels are more effecient than gas engines, but pollute tons of particulate matter. as emission laws become stricter and technology improves the real world difference in economy is getting smaller

>>14886807
diesels exist NA. they do not require FI. they draw vacuum like every engine.

but yes OP in a gas engine you control speed by limiting air intake via throttle body. in a diesel there is no throttle body speed is controlled by how much fuel is injected.

pick one

>>14899773
They're great cars if you can ignore the fact that most of them are owned by obnoxious elderly white men who frequent meets.

How easy is a Corvette to live with as a daily driver? Been thinking about replacing my Miata with one.

How about you fuck off you fucking casual

>I couldn't handle the fresh

B-but I used to buy Black Ice®

>>14896927
Smell doesn't linger long enough and I just found it boring after buying so many.

>>14896562
They are the scums of the earth!
They have no fucking morals.

>>14896565
How do they get away with that shit.
I think I'm gonna contact the Better Business Bureau and report these asses.

>>14896562
If you get "pressured' in to buying a car go kill yourself because you are a c.uck

I don't know faggot, why are you asking us?

Or are you baiting for ebin maymays?

it's not too bad, but I can count on one hand how many people in my graduating class are into cars.
And considering my graduating class was close to 2,500 kids, that's pretty sad.

Is this a car for fags?

Are these cars easy to wrench on? Any GM parts compatibility?

what an insecure manlet you have to be to ask such question?

>are some of the engines to ever come out of Japan

>>14894798
Because Civics can be genuine track monsters on the cheap.

>why are there fans of really well built, reliable, and fun to drive cars

Not sure m8
