R32?
How much did you pay for it, and how is the maintenance on it?
>>15431323
Yeah 32, had it over two years now and bought it for like 12K
Been relatively easy on me, just an alternator gone bad and a few leaking injectors

>>15431560
it was meant to have a flat four engine but that got cancelled in favour of an existing inline design
that and torsion bar front suspension gives allot of room to work on the alternator and oil filter
being able to remove the rocker cover without disturbing the carburettor or distributor has its uses
such as checking for oil flow and rocker/point gap
most parts can be removed with the engine and gear box in place
if needed the transmission comes out the bottom and the engine can be lifted out the front and up by removing the grill

morris Minor 1000 ute with the 1098 cc engine
very low first gear and good in snow with 165/80 r14 tires as normal
top speed is around 130 kph but it will go faster when fitted with an escort diff
in both the ute and van versions the leaf springs are such that the handling is chaotic when there is less than 50 kg on the load deck
>>15431691
thumbnails give all sorts of impression
the battery is also tiny compared to the old led acid the car came with

Less power loss because the crank is on the same plane as the axles. I personally don't like it but you should quit being a faggot because it has benefits.

So you agree? FWD is inferior?

>>15429220
>>15432343
muh poeples
ayy lmao
>>15432816
Not inferior I just don't prefer it. I don't really like rwd that much either. Awd master race! Like I said there is less power loss. That is an advantage over awd and rwd except some mid engine applications. You shouldn't post on an auto fourm if you are too retarded to understand basic mechanical design concepts.
>>15433034
FWD sucks fuck off kid
>>15432875

muh midship
>>15433039
It sucks for certain applications. Give me a detailed explanation instead of a basic fanboy response. Prove you know what you are talking about.

does the intercooler get any air at all? is there a fan or something ?

It can't togue
it can't race
it can't compete
can't even drift
>>15433052
you mean any time there is over 300 hp?
>>15433056
Not everyone is trying to Tokyo drift their cars. Literally all of your reasons have nothing to do with what 90% of consumers do with their cars. Who said you can't race FWD people do it all the time. Nothing is superior all around there is always give and take.
>>15433053
There's not a fan on the intercooler but it gets airflow like in pic related. Air comes in from the side vent and goes out the top of the engine lid.
>>15433074
i have a powerful fwd car and it just spins the tires most of the time. all the way through 2nd gear.
how can you possibly feel that is ideal? i never try to drift in any car.
why is it better at all?
>>15433085
oh my god
that has to be some hot air getting in there.
im not sure i feel the engineering is sound
>>15433088
We'll just have to trust that the crazy Japanese engineers knew what they were doing. Also it's probably better than no intercooler in some capacity.
>>15433088
i'm not sure you're an engineer
so how are you going to criticize any engineering
>>15433099
a fan would be better imo
i bet it heatsoaks like a bitch
>>15433099
How did you take that photo?
>>15433058
Yea so that would be a vast majority of cars purchased around the world. FWD is the best for efficient commuting which is what most consumers want. That is why it is so widely used.
>>15433114
I bet he had his phone on timer and put it in his mouth.
>>15433116
it's the best for efficient packaging and cost-cutting
and FWD is better in the snow when you can direct which way the power goes while the rear stays static
R8
>>15433086
If you are trying to make a Fucking fast car don't start with FWD. Holy shit. Like I said at the beginning it has advantages putting a lot of power down is definitely not one of them. It puts power to the wheels more efficiently. So it is cheaper for companies to make commuter cars. That is its purpose and it is why it is so widely used.
>>15433132

>>15433236
grow up kid
>>15433172
"I'm angry because my point is invalid". My opening point was it has less power loss. That means less weight because you can use a smaller engine to get the same amount of power to the wheels which means cheaper production cost. It also handles better in adverse weather conditions. All that put together means it makes a good commuter vehicle. Goal posts are in the same place you are just too stupid to see that.
>>15433243
>yfw a fucking twingo can drift but you cant
>>15433183
Start with suspension. They get arthritis fast. Once you have that locked in look at stiffening the chassis. Then do your downpipe and exhaust. Be sure to delete the baffle. It can cause other problems down the line.
>>15433254
it can slide in a parking lot but it can't power oversteer
>>15433269
Nigga you're looking at power oversteer, that twingo is rear engine rear wheel drive
>yfw a fucking dump truck full of dirt can drift but you cant

>do you like to listen to the turbo noise?
You could always pipe the noise through your speaker system and make it as loud as you want.
Some car audio fans like bigger alternators and have special housings to cool them better.
Not enough LS in this thread.
>>15433183
buy those solid bushings, the ones on the car suck. there is a left and right on ebay. i linked one.

Hi stangbros, sorry for the dirt
>>15434458
>You could always pipe the noise through your speaker system and make it as loud as you want.
With more alternators under your hood, you can power more gear. How loud can your turbo and exhaust get?
IDK what the fuck that is on the intake tube. Tried scrubbing that shit off several times and it hasn't made a difference.
>Tfw no Racing Beat intake

>>15434613
>How loud can your turbo and exhaust get?
Instead of piping the droning noise thru a catback, just turn up the volume control on your amplifiers. If you have enough speakers, you can make a really loud exhaust noise. Brraaap Brapppp BrrrrraaaAp
The more alternators you have the better.
>>15434635
>>15434613
>>15434458
You can never have too many alternators? If you got a lot of speakers to power, then more is not enough.
Isn't the record six alternators? Here's an example of four alternators under the hood of your average daily car.
