>>29122673It's cool and all but I simply do not care for cars I will never be able to afford, this is like taking an interest in luxury yachts. Why bother discussing matters I'll never be able to afford? Though admittedly I'm still excited for any fighter jets that come out

>>29128289It’s basically going in to production. Porsche makes M3/ RS5 / corvette competitor cars and sells them for $130k-$250k. They’re still M3 quality in that their steel and 6 cylinders on McDonald’s struts. The issue is Lambo and Ferrari and McLaren make cars out of aluminum and CF and have more power and so they command the $250-$600k price where Porsche currently can’t actually compete. They’re don’t actually make a car in that category. They have noticed the brand is worth more than the cars and people will pay over sticker for them and so they hired a new CEO who ran McLaren to basically move them upmarket and that means a car above the 911 that actually has Ferrari tier appointments and not BMW tier.It will be 8 cyl double bones and CF or aluminum. This is a clear and obvious upgrade from a 911 which was always a middle class car in quality even if the middle class have been priced out >>29128275Why would you waste a build slot on a low margin Caymen if you sell every super high mark up 911 you can build ?

I'm here to explain to some of you dopes that you stupid quests for this, that, and the other; pretentious talk about "cornering" and "top speed" and stuffing aspiration mechanisms into things to blow them up misses the entire point of the *Beauty* of a machine.There's not a one of you taking the best of every part of what you'd need out of a car and getting some of all of it! AVERAGE! You've heard of average haven't you? You know, basically not getting fucked in any particular direction? Hmmm? Wouldn't it be nice for once to "take off" and "stop" equally as well? Wouldn't you want a bit of a stereo, one which you could intelligibly listen to Brahms or ELO or something, but not one that glows seven colors and pulverizes your brain? And tire size. Let's get off it 16" is absolutely huge for a motor car. There need not be much above 18" or so until you're in an F-650, and then duals will be fine.Carbon fiber. On street cars you take shopping. A knob wing you've had bolted to that civic, can you actually tell me it's helping you or costing some percentage of the tire's life.I'm not buying all this "features" shit. It's tryhard status symbol shit.Average is perfectly fine and you should be satisfied. We ought to declare ourselves for being Sensible men. Moderate men.
>>29128945This was true 20+ years ago. Now the "average" car is a big ugly piece of spyware.

Only car I know that makes 12" wheels look somewhat big.
>>29129633MEATY
original wheels were 12", but I put on these 13s so I'd have a miniscule amount of being able to get non trailer tires. I still had to import them from the UK anyways because the only sizes you can really get easily in the US have too much sidewall and rubbed badly even at stock height

>>29129307Finding an imaginary fault isnt "thinking".If the fuel pump is 150°, then how long does it take for the fuel going through it to heat up? (I.E. was it already at maximum expansion when the key was turned off).Whats the expansion volume for gasoline between 80° and 150°?How much pressure would a theoretical "cooking" of the gas create vs how much pressure is a properly functioning needle&seat capable of holding? Why doesnt any of my carb'd V8s need insulation on the fuel pump or fuel lines?Now what's the odds that the consumable portion of the carb (needle&seat) is worn out or gunked up?Is the float itself sticking?Has the weapon hooe been checked?
>>29129362>*has the weep hole been checked
>>29129184>>29129362Valid questions. The carb was redone back in 2018 before I got the car. This is a really tiny Weber (30DGS), so I don't know if it can actually hold 10psi. The shop manual says the pump should put out no more than 3.5psi.There's no weep hole on these carbs. Apparently they just weep into the main throat...

WEEKEND RENCHING GENERALSpoke Too Soon Edition
>>29126969It's not just the cheap ones. Some recent Toyotas in Europe shipped with a Varta branded battery that was probably made in a sweatshop in Turkey or India.For a while, Toyota topped the vehicle unreliability charts, basically entirely due to 12 V batteries that die with no warning after a couple years. No other problems with the cars, it's just that they won't go anywhere if the 12 V battery has dead cells and can't even power the dashboard.Think they at least changed the supplier after that.
>>29128895>chevy celebrityI think these had a transverse v6 that put the spark plugs right up against the firewall, and there's not enough room for tools. I think it's one of the worst cars you could possibly choose to work on.get one of those mechanic simulator games, or my summer car or something
>>29129132i looked it up earlier and they can have those or a 2.5l i4, and i'm like 99% sure that his has the i4. i'll be over at his place either later this week or the next to see for myself and if it does have the v6 i'll probably throw in the towel>get one of those mechanic simulator games, or my summer car or somethinglike 75% of the reason i'm considering doing this isn't to have a car, but just to have something to do outside of my bedroom. i spent all summer cooped up in here being a lazy piece of shit playing vidya and jacking off and i want to change that in a way that won't result in me being stuck in a checkout kiosk interacting with middle aged single mothers for 8 hours a day, the car is just a bonus
What say you, guys. Is it screwed big time?

>>29119562How dare the Chinese do this. Volkswagen recognized that the old form of the VW bus was neither safe or climate-friendly, which is why the Buzz looks the way it does. What China has built is a fucking death trap. A pedestrian hit by that front end will have their bellies ripped open by those corners on the headlights or will bounce off the flared fenders and have their heads bashed in by those door handles. This is a car made for third-world markets where there are no proper car crash authorities. That's the only place shit like this can be sold. Why would anyone want to see this on the roads, menacing every pedestrian?
I'm looking forward to the SC01, hopefully the cost isn't too inflated once it reaches here.

Who the fuck decided that it was a good idea to have your acceleration in the handle of your steering wheel in a vehicle that requires you to lean side to side to turn in?

Most engine wear occurs at engine start when the engine components arent coated with oil. This can be fixed by having an additional electric oil pump that will work for few seconds before the engine cranks to oil up the components. Now i made the engine last twice as long. Has this been done before? Even in niche racing use?
>>29129363Why specifically the m96?Let me guess; it has some design flaw which the accusump bandaids?
>>29128497appalachia somehow tracks
>>29129439What kind of car do you drive?
>>29125338>Most engine wear occurs at engine start when the engine components arent coated with oil.If it's new enough, it starts out at the factory when they don't clean out all the swarf, or they don't believe in assembling engines correctly.

i wish this ball joint was alive so I could kill itI used a Torch, pb blaster, hammer, ball joint remover from fuckin harbor freight that broke, bought another ball joint remover that didn't work, just bent itself. What the fuck. Do i just drill shit out now? get a new steering knuckle and call it a day?
Torch it until its at least glowing orange.Cut down a 10lb maul handle and dont swing like such a pussy
>>29120398were you using it as a prybar? How the fuck do you even break a pickle fork??
>>29128671I have a used one from my father with a bit broken off. I use it every once in a while, not sure what he broke it on though.
Is this one giant troll thread? OP you gotta take this bolt off. WOW!!!!

How come Sedans, Station Wagons & SUVs keep getting longer & longer without increasing interior space while Vans & Minivans have remained the same length without reducing any interior space?Is the point of this to make all non-van vehicles impractical & worse in terms of handling to the point where everyone just has a van/minivan?
>>29111932Boxes are one of the easiest geometry to codify. Just 3 numbers. Vans happened to start at the ending of everything else.

Does the stereotype of vans being associated with rapists have to do with how ugly American Vans are? The Dodge Ram Van, The Ford Econoline Van & the Chevrolet Vans are truly hideous. The Modern Day Van Market is dominated by the Ford Transit (designed by Ford Europe), the Dodge Ram Promaster (rebadged Fiat Ducato) & the Mercedes Benz Sprinter. These European Vans are much better looking & don't get hit with the same negative stereotype.
