They spark. In an environment of extreme heat. Porcelain is stronk in heat and does not conduct undesired.

Porcelain is an exceptional isolator.

Exhibit A: Hopefully every power line in the world.

You pretty much got it, if neglected that car will eat your wallet a few times over. If you treat it well you'll definitely enjoy it. Biggest keys to success with these cars is
1. Upgrade cooling system: Bigger radiator, make sure the cooling is always good. Hugely important
2. Premix: premix 2 stroke oil into the gas anytime you fill up, just put .50oz per gallon. If it needs to be inspected, don't premix or you'll fail emissions.

Those cars are classics and honestly you would be able to resale it for a profit later down the line, if I were in your shoes I would buy the piss out of it

They're pretty indestructible as long as you aren't an idiot, the 3mm seals in the 12A are STRONG. Where are you located?

>>14128725
So you want something worse than a 1988 civic? Has less torque when you need it the most

>metzger engines
>IMS problems

stop being dumb

the metzger engine is literally god tier

>>14137503
You'd be better off swapping something that actually has the IMS bearing problem, like a 996 or a 1st gen Boxster. You'd be wasting a perfectly good flat-six turbo.

>>14137516
Porsche shill detected.
OP is right about the IMS bearing problems, they even affect new ones.

Anyway it seems like his concern is v8 sound, not that kettle of fish.

looks cool Id be worried about hitting the rear tire tho

>I have narrowed down my car search to these two

you arent getting either
you probably arent even old enough to post here
the cars are hardly comparable anyway
shitpost on /b/ instead pls

I'd prefer the WRX. If I was getting a mustang, it would be V8 or nothing. The non-V8s depreciate like milk, and I mean, it's a muscle car, the point is to have a big loud rumbling V8 and go fast in a straight line. I think an I4 mustang just misses the point of the car.

Whereas with the WRX you have a nice 4 door Sedan that you can actually fit people in the back with, go down dirt roads with, do well in the snow, and it will hold its value better. Plus the point of the WRX has always been a 4 cylinder rally car, and even though the modern WRX aint no GC8 WRC car, its design philosophy still jives with me.

Both cars are about equally as fast so neither is more fun than the other.

get a baseline 5.0. easier to modify. And you will get more out of it. and mpg is about the same.

>>14134766
Because it ends up being fairly expensive and you are still just "racing" shitboxes. The joke gets old.

>not liking chumpcar racing
you, sir, hate fun.

>>14134766

There is no reason to not go with helical cut gears.

I did the whole straight cut gear thing when I was younger to a WRX I had because I thought it sounded cool. It was a waste of money and did not give me any advantage, I should of just rebuilt it with helical gears and the helical gears were cheaper because of less demand.

Straight gear the same and material as a helical gear can't stand as much torque. The helical allows for smoother torque transfer and distributes the torque over a larger area. That saps more energy though. Race cars don't run straight cut gears for strength (although an aftermarket straight cut gear is usually stronger than a cast OEM gear). They run them because they sap less energy.

>>14137568
I'm probably getting this wrong, but I remember someone saying that straight cut puts less stress on the case. It's more advantageous to a point to do that than to reinforce it.

Convertible cross overs that I can raise even high to protect my children but still enjoy a sunny day ! :)

I quite like the L405. I hope the diesel makes it to America.
