This is my twin engine 3000gt inspirated by the LM edition car from gran turismo 1-2.
the secend engine in the door is a lightweight 1.3l 95hp from a Mitsubishi colt.
It has alternator,steeringpump and it is getting a 1000hp procharger to boost the main engine,not conected to the drivetrain.
The main engine gets nothing only drivetrain.
This gives me a clean engine bay easy to work on,no lag,less heat,no backpressure,lower cylinder pressure ect. And fore fun. Final Goal is 800whp with wide power range an low lag.
Weight is 1370kg

How do I stop driving so recklessly? If a cop isn't around I will blatantly ignore rules of the road. It's going to get me in trouble sooner or later.

I'll floor it on back roads, run stop signs, run red lights and all sorts of little shit because frankly, I know when I can/can't get away with it. How do I stop?

Currently looking for used cars. The vehicles I’m interested in are Honda CRV’s and Toyota RAV-4’s with low mileage for the year. Really trying to find one owner cars in very good to excellent condition. My problem is that all the low mileage cars I’m finding are being sold by Mexicans. Is this because Mexicans sit on marketplace all day trying to buy and resell these cars or are they turning back odometers? I don’t want to buy from a Mexican either way. I’ve been looking for over a month now and this is extremely frustrating.

Your budget is reasonable as are your mileage expectations but you need to expand your search area and be prepared to jump on a plane to check it out and buy. You also might want to look at other similar compact utility vehicles, there’s a ton of rav4s and crvs in the market bit everyone thinks they’re made out of gold (also fuck that turbo engine in a cuv lol).

How does double clutching actually work?
If you put it in neutral and rev it before shifting into a lower gear, I heard it aligns the gear shafts so the synchros don't have to do any work when you put it into gear.
But if it's in neutral isn't the engine disconnected from the transmission in the first place? How would doing anything in neutral affect something in the transmission?
3 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>27840297
it probably doesn’t do a whole lot unless you’re doing something like going from 2nd to 1st like you stated. when upshifting, the fluid in the housing is probably slowing the main shaft down enough that the synchros aren’t doing a whole lot of work. I just use the brakes until about 1500 rpm then clutch one and brake in neutral til stop. I’m alrea do technically double clutched if I didn’t stop all the way and have to put it back into gear. I also don’t drive like a fucking retard doing 25 in parking lots so I don’t do constant shifting between the first three gears

Same, but yeah there are situations where you need to turn and there's no stop sign, so you'll look like a retard if you stop and then go into first gear. So you legitimately need to downshift to first.

It's basically required to avoid granny shifting

good morning lads.

I want to install a spoiler on my car.
Suzuki Swift 2022 1.2
I'm based in the European Union

I found pic related on AliExpress. the price in brutal because it is apparently made in carbon fiber.

I've found similar spoilers for older Suzuki, extremely similar, I'd say identical. but for a much lower price.

so my questions are, if anyone here has installed a spoiler on Suzuki swift 2022:
- does the spoilers for the older models fit?
- does other specific cars spoilers fit?
- is AliExpress shit worth to check or it's a scam?
- does anyone know about other web stores which I can check for such parts?

> is AliExpress shit worth to check or it's a scam?
i would never trust aliexpress, especially for things that are made in carbon fiber. one of the scams is a fibreglass part wrapped in a thin layer of carbon fiber. get carbon pieces from reputable sources.

What's a rear spoiler gonna do on a front-wheel drive car, genius? Is your goal to improve your car or to install a spoiler? Those are very different goals that require very different approaches.

Personally I have found AliExpress products to usually be worth the money, e.g. they look bad and break easily. This goes for electronics, LEGO sets and clothing

So Hellcat engines are actually Junk?
I talked to a local tuner and he told me those 6.2L in the hellcats are very fragile and easily shit the bed.
dude is the go-to tuner in town, probably tunes 15 cars a week.
He won't even add boost to them because they blow up so easily.
The tunes are all timing and air fuel changes.

Apparently if you accidentally put 87 octane gas in a stock hellcat, it'll probably blow up if you push it hard.
How did Dodge manage to successfully shill that engine so hard?

When you’re accelerating hard, the oil is all going to the back of the pan. Sump should be in the rear if you want good oil pressure while doing 0-100 runs.

Police agencies tended to replace their cars every 2 years or so back then. Different agencies also used different models from all of the Big Three and even AMC, and because cars got facelifts nearly every model year, there was never enough time to really build a cultural association with any one model. The idea of every police agency in the country using one single body style for 15+ years was unthinkable back then.

At most, 60s-70s Plymouths had a bit of a reputation for being cop cars, but that's about it.

2 months ago, BYD announced that their Qin and Seal 06 hybrid models will use their latest powertrain, which is the most efficient in the world, giving it 2100km+ range. When this was posted on /o/, everybody claimed it was fake news and not a real technology.

This week, Toyota announced that they will use this new powertrain technology in their Corolla hybrids, so basically just selling a BYD hybrid car and slapping the Toyota brand logo on it.

What does /o/ think about this? Is Toyota getting scammed by this fake BYD technology? Or is this actually real?

It doesn't matter how good /o/ was in the past or, more likely, how much you tolerated it.

It's never going to get better.

Like several other boards on 4chan, /o/ is themed around something you can be a potential consumer for.
With /co/, it's cartoons, comics & related media. Likewise with /tv/, probably /an/, /mu/, /g/ and etc.

With /o/, it's cars. Made by brands. Owned by corporations. As clients to marketing firms to supplement their own in-house public relations. For China, it is probably a high ranking member of the CCP who can have one of his accomplices in the correctional system have a group of prisoners make countless threads while a guard stands over them. Or a white monkey.

The ultimate point to this is, this board represents a market of consumers to influence the future purchasing decisions of.

You don't even have to like the product: Your vitriol against can be incorporated into the promotion of it, just like it had been with disney star wars.

So this shit's never gonna end.
When it was probably just less obvious before.
