NARPs welcome
News:
>New Compact Crossover coming.
>Gaymen electric may be reengineered for gas engine. Which is odd. The old gaymen was MMB like the 911. The new Caymen is supposed to be pure electric. I have had strong suspension that ‘new’ platform is more like the 944/968 ‘new’ platform and that the Taycan is really a modified Panamera and this new electric Caymen is just a modified MMB.
>Cayenne and Panamera will continue on into the next decade
>911 Turbo S coming in 2026 will be hybrid, 700hp

I hesitate replying to you because you're repulsive but both those cars have their place. I was just saying how I expect most Panameras to have comfort oriented specs over performance. I just wanna make it clear that I have nothing against Panameras, V8 Porsche's are nice
>>
>>28804969
PASM is standard on every Panamera but the air ride is an option. Has a combined hydroelectric air damper.
They all have 4 buckets with the exception of the sport turismo which can option a bench which is extremely rare. Most cars don’t have adaptive or cameras from my experience shopping. Honestly they’re spaced pretty similar to 911s as a group. Pretty clear they exist because Porsche didn’t want to lose sales of people who wanted a 911 but wanted four doors.
The macan and cayenne usually have it all.

Went on a lil 75 mile cruise today. Car is running and driving as it should now, and I have a solid feel for the baseline. As I swap in new parts from the plan I'm going to do this same drive regularly to feel the difference.

Feeling pretty good overall for what it is. It's really a solid cruiser. If it had about 50 more horsepower, there would be a genuine case for leaving the current engine imo. With that amount of power a junkyard T5 would last forever too. As is, this engine is just a bit too gutless. Accelerating up even a mild grade from 30mph is optimistic at best. I've done enough reading on them too to know there's really nothing that can be done about it since there are no easily available improved heads and that's the main limitation. As light as this car is though, even a stock 302HO would make this thing plenty fun. The crate motor I was looking at would make it pretty spicy.

With the extra windshield time, I'm fully convinced that the priority is suspension improvements. Then steering. Then braking. Once I work through that stuff I can get serious about drive train.

Miata bros, it's time to finally admit that the best Miata is the NC3

It's like an ND2 but has Hydraulic steering with actual feedback unlike NDs dead steering and it's not a tin can like the NA/NB which if you crash at 30mph you insta-die

NC2 is great too but it's uglier so 3 wins

I was expecting to read "we broke up", "it didn't work out", "I was being an idiot", or "she bitched out and I dumped her cunt ass". Felt the pain from Paragraph 2 all the way over here and nearly broke out a tear.

Don't be ashamed or "too mature and grounded" to say she was the one. She left something permanent inside you, and that's normal. You don't have to return to how you were before you met her and got to know her, before you can move on. Also, moving on isn't disrespect toward her memory. Own your feelings, all of the happiness you had and all of your grief. Don't let them own you.

She was 26 at the time. Pretty healthy, not overweight at all, pretty much ideal. We went out for lunch that day and nothing was out of the ordinary. Texted her a few times in the morning she never answered back but neither of us texted back much when it was just shit like "remember such and such is today." she didn't show up to work which was out of the ordinary but her work didn't contact anyone, next day I called her mom and she went over to her place and found her dead in her bed. Coroner said a bleed that size it would have been instant.

Also what is the turbo longetivity? I read the fl5 has 25 psi of boost, thats quite high.
Currently daily a ND2 Miata and looking for something bigger to also transport my bicycle and other shit in. It's a tossup between the GR Yaris and the FL5. Thanks to my country's retarded co2 emissions tax laws a new FL5/GR Yaris will cost 95k euros. So I wont be buying any of these new but second hand when they are closing in on the 40k price range in a year or so.

I guess the evaporating oil had a cooling effect on the CM's precat and it freaks out when the engine is hot but the cat isn't hot enough to work fully, so I guess this is a thing that can happen if power steering fluid squirts on the exhaust, but that scared me for a sec.

2nd gear grind problem is embellished. I've had an FK8 and FL5, neither had an issue. Its people who try to slam 1>2 every single time that scream about it.

If plastic control arms are such a big issue, how come noone's just casting their own out of aluminium? Make a mold out of the original one and ur golden. Even plain beer cans will give you comparable or better strength, not to mention actual duralumin

Is the oil dilution problem with the 1.5 turbo engine in the mk10 Civic even an issue if you don't live in Alaska? I feel like it's been overblown on the internet and if you live in a place with a decent climate (cold in winter, hot in summer) then you'll be fine. Have heard plenty of positive things about this engine from people in European countries for example

trust me little wrenchlet nu-male, you can 100% blame it on your peoole. all these new car engines are machined and assembled so precisely, 100s of digital aids on board designed to keep you, the engine and tranny safe yet somehow it's still blowing up after a Japanese man in Japan puts it together. you're out of your mind or a kike infiltrator.
>>
It depends on a couple of factors:

1. Boost on the Civic is only 15psi, on the Accord is 20psi.

2. If you drive like an impatient tard, constantly accelerating hard, you'll be stressing it more often.

3. You're more likely to run into trouble if you're using 87 octane instead of 91.

4. How often you do oil changes will have an effect.


But honestly, why would you gamble with this shit engine? If you need to have it fixed or replaced outside of warranty you'll be looking at $10,000-$12,000

Fucking hell. 20psi on my engine is good for over 1000hp at the wheels but I guess this is the world we live in. All that boost to make 150hp in a grocery getter? Yikes. I don't know why people gamble with engines like these. I wouldn't even trust them over a lease period.

adding boost to an engine isn't even that stressful to the internals with modern engine control you wrenchlet. adding 15psi to an engine adds only like 30% to the peak forces the internals have to endure which is less than the increase in inertial loads from raising redline from 6k to 7k. everything else just managing thermals to make sure the combustion chamber doesn't overheat and the engine doesn't knock. turbos have been solved, get with the times.
