>Yo brah it has 300 horsepower! 100 horsepower per cylinder brah!Why should I care about a literal THREE-cylinder car
>>289897453 cylinder engines are for bikes. At least its more torquey than a 1.6l 4cyl though.
>>28989753>At least its more torquey than a 1.6l 4cyl though.Rather not ,but the magic of motorcycles lies in their weight.The lightest homologated car available for purchase in 2026 weighs 490 kg ,meanwhile 2026 Yamaha YZF-R1 has a wet weight of 203 kg
>>28989745Because it's faster than you're car
>>28989920no joke, C&D clocked it at 12.9 quarter mile, it shits all over /o/'s raggeddy ass 330is and other turkmobiles
>>28989935that's the yaris. the corolla is mid to high 13s, which a 2006 335i with lsd can do. another loss for weebs, put it on the board titohonestly this car is a great price though
>>28989959nah yaris is 12.7
>>28989962thats what I just said you fucking brown esl nigger. the corolla is not in the 12s. you crack smoking weeb jeet.
>>28989745It's a rallying thing. You wouldn't understand because you aren't white.
>>28989970>was the heaviest GR Corolla we've sampled at 3273 pounds, it tied the Morizo to 60 mph (4.4 seconds) and actually edged it out through the quarter-mile, turning a 12.9-second pass at 107 mphkek stay mad shitskin
>>28989973>3273How does that weigh more than a 6 cylinder cayman?
>>28989745it's insane to me that people spend $40-50k+ on "racing trim" economy cars.
>>28990012the grs are not economy cars. front and rear limited slip awd with 300hp is a sports car. this hurts your feeling for some reason? maybe youre on the wrong board.
>>28990012literally one of the few examples of cars where it's not that
>>28990012And and some dumb retards spend $100-120k on a "work truck". People are strange.
>>28990012Such cars and their motorsports counterparts have always been pure and unadulterated kino.
>>28989745You cared enough to make a thread about it
>>28990028at least the work truck will last and nothing else can do its job. the shitty yaris will blow up and can be out done by a 4 cylinder camaro for half the price.
>>28990062Oh yes the treaterous terrain of the Wallmart parking lot can really only be conquered by an F150 King Ranch
>>28990062are you larping as an american, the gr yaris isn't even available here. 4cyl camaros are fine but not the same thing
>>28989745Toyota is cheap shit. They didn't want to spend money on a good engine that doesnt blow up so they grabbed a head off a 2GR v6 and chopped the block in half and voila. Toyota shittiness. What really gets me is how these fucking retards out there are all soijakked about a POS hack 3 cyl like the wrenchlets and ricers they are lol
>>28990104That way they don't have to pay Yamaha twice to make them a new engine. That's called amortizing the fuck out of your assets. Cheap ass greedy kikes
>>28990012The worst part is Toyota put it in the base-spec third world center console because they needed "muh manual parking brake" so theres no center armrest because of that.
>>28990012I bought a focus rs back when they were new. It just made sense for my situation. I wanted a nice little daily driver so why not get the one with over 300hp? Whats the alternative? Just drive a base model focus?
>>28990132You could boost or swap literally any car you wanted to. Oh wait you cant do that can you?
Hideous soulless egg shaped gookbox
>>28990135I wanted a daily driver not a project car.
>>28989745>FWD derived AWD trannyverse 3 cylinder >cringe hatchback (not based wagon)Ew
>>28990143>cant daily drive a swapped carricerrrrrrrr
>>28990149You can but it's an awful idea
>>28990153With no inherent skill or talent, it sure would be. Glad that's not my problem. People like that make me thankful that I'm not them
>>28990153My daily driver has had the engine, transmission, and rear differential swapped by yours truly along with aftermarket engine management I tuned myself. Git fucking gud.
>>28990160>>28990165It's amazing what feats man can accomplish on an anonymous text forum.
>>28990165not everyone has a total lack of respect for their own time like you. The whole purpose of a daily driver is to be low effort, low maintenance, reliability and functionality, nothing more.Swapping engines and trannies etc come with a host of complications and complexities that directly contradict that philosophy. You daily drive a project car and will occasionally pay the price for that.
>>28990176Must suck being so pathetically helpless that turning some bolts and splicing some wires is so unbelievable that you think I'd have to make that shit up.
>>28990184Why are you on an automotive enthusiast board if you hate wrenching that much? Even then I spent one summer's weekends doing that swap and have had pleasant trouble free driving ever since because I'm not too retarded to finish a project. It's not half baked, it's done. It is low effort, low maintenance, reliable, and functional.
>>28990176I actually built my own car from scratch using iron I mined and smelted myself and it's powered by gasoline that I refined from oil made from the remains of dinosaurs that I raised myself 350 million years ago
>>28990191its called being a automotive enthusiast not a wrenching enthusiast or mechanic larper or role player if you make more money than wrenching on a ancient shitbox that you can pay someone more power to you. everything on a car has a finite lifespan moreso if you live in a salt state where after a certain point unless you make it your full time job fixing your car financing a new car is cheaper.
>>28990196Good thing I don't live where it snows then. Cars last forever here if you don't crash it.
>>28990191I like cars. I'm not a mechanic. I like dogs. I'm not a vet.I like music. I'm not a composer. I like video games. I'm not a programmer.
>>28990191Because people can just buy fast shit that just werks
>>28990208No talent runts can only hope for this outcome.
>>28990199Consoooomer mindset
>>28990196>>28990199>larping wrenchlets pretending to like carsNormies OUT. Enjoy your shitty NPC pod cars I guess because you're too scared to get your hands dirty keeping something actually good alive.
>>28990012Yeah some retards spend alot of money on M and AMG cars for some reason
>>28990198even if cars dont rust out>rings and bearings wear out (engine, trans, rear)>seals all harden and tear up>accidents happen and the bumper/windshield you could get when the car was 10 years old is now unobtainium 30 years later >a good paintjob is $4-6000 (every 15 years if you live in a sun state)>parts start getting really hard to get where your car unironically goes down for a few months until someone lists the fuel pump assembly you need or you have to import it from malaysia or japan or thailand >still have to work 40-50 hours a week + 1-2 hour daily commute + deal with gf/wife/kids = no time to fix your car (or you're missing overtime to wrench)>miss seat time at motorsports events because its unreliable or you're constantly chasing the next issue (i swear there isn't a car older than 10 years old at your average hpde; even na/nb miatas are getting rare)>if you mod it you're now personally engineering it to handle that extra 2-3x hp it makes over stock on 20+ year old parts (the manuf made it to handle maybe +50hp over stock brand new in 1998) honestly old cars are fucking gay sometimes i completely understand if you treat yourself and finance something new or <7 years old...new cars are fucking fast too in 2020+
>>28990212>Enjoy your shitty NPC pod carsI will
>>28990216>life is so bad i wish it would endyeah okay
>>289897453 cylinders actually isn't that bad. same with 5 cylinders. there have been some great motors, mostly in motorcycles that are 3 cyliners. hell, there are a lot of great twin cylinder bikes.
>>28990216So replace the seals, bearings and/or rings? None of my cars are newer than 26 years old and the only parts I've had difficulty finding are non-mechanical parts like interior paneling. That's what junkyards (and friends in other parts of the country who can keep an eye on their local junkyards for you too) are for.
>>28990217/r/cars is that way ---->
>>28990227No it is bad, youre just coping. There is NO reason a 3cyl performance engine should ever exist. It doesn't even make a power stroke at every cycle, what the fuck ? Who would make a high performance like that?Like, fuck you. How fucking bad is that idea though?
>>28990221yeah thats how it workswhen the hobby starts being enjoyable its not a hobby anymore its a chorei also forgot>time keeps ticking and you spend another summer with your car on jackstands reliving irl my summer car while your friends zoom by in their newer cars with way less issues (spent 3 summers like this and it fucking sucked) >after 300,000 miles cars get REALLY funky re: random failures, stuff like seat motors die or random sensors or wiring issues start to happen>>28990228after 30 years the junkyard starts to run dry (those cars were crushed 10 years ago) and you're either left dealing with 20-30 year old used parts or china shit (which is awesome when you're dealing with stuff like cam sensors or distributors...price out a honda b16 distributor) remember when those cars are 5-10 years old people throw shit out or the parts go for next to nothing
>>28990233My local junkyard has a classic section
>>28990233Well I have a 8500rpm redline engine from 1994 in 1995 car and I've never cracked a headbolt on it. There is only one swap like this in North America and maybe one of 2 or 3 worldwide. It hasnt seen the inside of a garage ever, starts up in -20C weather and gets good economy even. But shes rusty in the quarterpanels. It's like a mini NSX by sound and powerband and it doesnt even burn any oil. It cost me almost nothing to put together bc ricers don't know or care about this car or engine
>>28990228>its totally normal and okay to constantly maintain relationships with potentially dozens of people online, who live in other states and have their own lives to live, to network and track down niche components for old cars.>yes i have no problem wasting 10+hours a week monitoring the ebbs and flows of thousands of old components for old cars to maintain my place in this networkWwo, you like wasting your own time even more than Linux and watercooling nerds on /g/.
>>28990231good point, would'nt the mismatch in force and engine movements literally tear the engine apart over the long run, especially at high horsepower?
>>28990250eventually they will have their takumi gc8 moment when they somehow end up driving something newer i've seen it irl (self-proclaimed shitbox enthusiasts driving a sports car <10 years old)>>28990241>rusty in the quarterswhat happens when the rust reaches the rear subframe/trailing arm mounts or the rear strut towers?can you source another shell? >>28990237does the classic section have body panels for when you get into a fender bender or hit a deer?
>>28990008AWD system + It's a reinforced Corolla chassis.
Fun cars are funseethe about it
>>28990250>it's not normal to have friends with similar interests to yours
>>28990132If you actually had a Focus RS, you'd know it wasn't a nice daily driver.
>>28990299It was nice though. It wasn't luxury car but it was nice
>>28989745It's fun, and different.>>28990187>>28990228M8 I'm honestly not impressed by some archaic rustmobile.
>>28989745Every GR Rolla owner that tried to track their car immediately Nuked the oil.Doesn't have an oil cooler, diff cooler, or transfer case cooler.So not a track ready car by any means.Most race cars use oil coolers larger than the engine radiator that GR has
>>28990209But my talent is having a 200/hr job
>>28990454maybe 200 pennies an hourlmao gottem
>>28989745One of the worst vehicles ever made.Garbage.>but but but, look at the specsNo.
>>28990437What, you think I did all that work for anyone but myself? And it's not from a salt state, there isn't a speck of rust on it. Sorry you live where your government destroys your cars every winter with your own taxes.
>>28989745>Why should I care about a literal THREE-cylinder carif you want it, i guess
>>28990012You can buy a stock car for like $15k
>>28990513He can buy an hour with your mum for 15 quid m8
>>28990516Gottem
>>28990082better than the Yaris GR who's engine will explode before it makes it to the walmart. Trucks are good products. the Yaris GR is not.
>>28990623It's the Corolla that self-immolates, because muttoids can't maintain cars.
>>28990628whatever helps you cope. figures people triggered by trucks would think the turd of a yaris GR is a good car.
>>28990623>Trucks are good products. the Yaris GR is not.I think it's just a Toyota thing, because even Toyota's current trucks aren't good products anymore.
>>28990642It's because they replace the V8. they had one of the greatest V8s ever made and they took it out of a vehicle that benefits most from it. pure insanity.
>>28990653>>28990642give them SOME credit, they're trying to adhere to the frankly insane emissions and fuel economy regulations that are literally destroying the ICE industry. The Yaris is still a piece of shit and making it into a rally car is a bad joke though.
>>28990210Consume dog and get excited for future dog
>>28989745maybe you care more about the brochures than driving a car
>>28989745>toyota please make interesting cars againNOOO NOT LIKE THAT>toyota please put your WRC 2021 homologated engine into a road carNOOO NOT LIKE THAT>toyota please stop rebadging other people's cars and make a fully toyota performance carNOOO NOT LIKE THAT>we don't want yet another 2L 4cylinder carNOOO NOT LIKE THAT>imagine if we got a new Evo CT9ANOOO NOT LIKE THAT>what if we got a practical, dailyable version of the WRC homologationNOOO NOT LIKE THAT>can the tiny 1.6L 3cylinder car even put out any powerNOOO NOT LIKE THAT>I won't buy it if it's not under 40k USD with front and rear LSDsNOOO NOT LIKE THAT
>>28990440Aren't most road cars not literally track ready, if you skip track preparations? Fluids, brakes, etchttps://www.google.com/search?q=civic+type+r+track+overheat
>>28990187Anon is definitely a faggot, but come on buddy it doesn't really count as an "engine swap" when you put a VCT motor into your non-VCT Miats
>>28990853You can set arbitrary standards for yourself all you want, but by definition it is a non-original engine to the vehicle that would not run without conversion work, however minor you might find it. As difficult as something like an LS swap? Of course not. But the engine was literally swapped for a different one.
>>2899083699% of "track cars" arn't race ready as is.They almost never include things like transmission or oil cooling.Can't have track pads installed on a street car you sell at a dealer either.It's a scam for retards.
>>28990165This is no Civic boy, No Civic!
>>28990875Miata fags really be like>I did an engine swap!>Yeah I swapped my Miata BP engine for a Miata BP engine!
>>28990929ok bolt it up and see how far you get starting it
>>28990952>HOLY SHIT BROS!!! I also swapped some of the supporting components from the BP Miata onto my BP Miata!>I'm a real engine swapper!
>>28990962>moving goalpostsPost your engine swap. You won't
>>28990966I have a 2.2L Camry engine in my 2.0L Townace right now, I don't call it an engine swap because it's the same engine lmao
>>28990969It's not an engine swap nor is that a car
>>28990969Cool story bro I have a Lamborghini V10 in my silverado. No I won't post it though you just have to believe me bro.
>>28990985COPEHow you supposed to tell it's "swapped" when it's the same engine lmao
Can you imagine explaining to your family/spouse/etc that you're 20k underwater on a "gazoo racing" toyota corolla. The brand reeks of Scion but Scion was actually affordable for young adults. Who is buying these?
>>28990986well the shit you rigged with garden hose on the valve cover is a bit of a giveaway
>>28990997>the miata wrenchlet doesn't recognise a catchcan hose lol
>>28991002>Wrenchlet on wrenchlet violenceWhat has the world come to
>>28991003>anon who can't drive or wrench chimes in be off before you get mogged
>>28991002>literal home depot shit in your engine bayCouldn't be me
>>28991009>literal catch can hose from the literal auto parts store*poor buddy desperately searching for a win after being exposed for pretending he's an engine swapper
>>28990985>>28990986>>28990997>>28991002>>28991003>>28991006>>28991009>>28991013Both of you are annoying faggots. Hope this helps.
>>28991006I have a Volkswagen engine in my Škoda, begone wrenchlet
>>28991013see>>28990875piss and moan all you want that it was an "easy" one but it fits the definition to a T. sorry that hurts your wee babby feelings I didn't put a V12 in it or some retarded shit
>>28991022>What mods you done to your car bro?Oh I engine swapped it!>Wow what did you swap into it?Oh I got a re-manufactured long block from JEGS
>>28991040>getting mad at a story you made up
>>28991047You will never be a real engine swapper
>>28991056Seethe >>28990875
>>28991058see>>28990929
>>28991059it's not the same engine though, blind retard
>>28991061>it's the same engine but with VCT I did an engine swap!
>>28991065the pistons are different, oil pump is different, oil pan is different, has a main bearing support plate instead of a windage tray, the entire head is different, head gasket is different, obviously the intake cam is completely different, valve cover is different, timing cover is different, intake manifold is different, injectors are different, exhaust manifold is different, ignition coils and wires are different, it added the entire VVT system, wiring harness are computer are obviously different, and the engine mount brackets are different. yeah totally the exact same engine. never mind that the definition of "engine swap" doesn't have any such qualifications that it has to be substantially different in some way, where do you draw the line? post your engine swap mr arbiter of swaps, yours MUST be something special. you do have an engine swapped car, right? you wouldn't shit on someone for something you yourself haven't done, right?
>>28991070I too have a different sump, cam cover and pistons - I must be a real engine swapper!But can you tell? >>28990986
>>28991074Going by the definition, yes, the 5SFE is not the same engine as the 3SFE much the same as the BPZ3 is not the same engine as the BP4W. Both are engine swaps because they are not the original engine to the vehicle. This is not difficult.
>>28991075Yeah well it was quite easy, because it's literally the same engine, so I wouldn't go around big dicking to people about how "I daily drive an engine swapped car!" looooooooool
>>28991076You seem to be confusing "same engine" with "same engine family".
>>28991077>IT HAZ A DIFFERENT EXHAUST MANIFOLDOh shit does that mean it didn't fit and you had to modify it?>oh... no.... it was designed for the same car, and they are completely interchangeable, but it has a slightly different design on the merge collectors, I AM A REAL ENGINE SWAPPER!!!
>>28991078I notice you haven't posted a swap of your own yet, sad.
>>28991081How many times are you going to re-use this same cope? >>28990986
>>28991082>passing off someone else's swap as your ownPathetic
>>28991084OH NO NO NO HE'S GOING INTO COPE OVERLOAD
>>28991078>BRO ONE PART BOLTS ON THE SAME ITS DUH SAME ENGINE!!!!We get it, you're retarded
>>28991087You're the one who listed it as "different" when you were trying to talk yourself up lmao
>>28991089It literally is different, what do you want me to say? As the engine came out of its donor car, it had a different exhaust manifold on it from the one on my original engine. Sorry Mazda didn't change the bolt pattern on the head for no reason? Again, where is the line where you consider it a different engine? You keep not answering that.
>>28991092CONGRATULATIONS YOU MANAGE TO DAILY DRIVE A CAR WHICH HAS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT DESIGN ON THE MERGE COLLECTOR NOW!
>>28991096Cast iron log type lump of shit vs a proper 4 into 1, not exactly just slightly different
>>28991099Ooof LHD miats get the shit tier manifolds
>>28989745you shouldn't, considering it gets absolutely BTFO by the Elantra Nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dv9ySQfS8i0
>>28989745Imagine pulling up with this to go for a date lmao
>>28990034god knows how i wish mk1 RS was 4wd.how the fuck did ford fumble so bad after cossie?
>>28991326>I wish this great car was heavier and slower
>>28989745GR Corolla looks cool but I will never own a vehicle with less than 4 cylinders. I simply believe it's too much stress to move a 1.5 ton vehicle long term. The vehicle would have to weight like 1500lbs on the upper limit, I don't think any of these turbo 3 cylinder cars will be on the road 20 years later unless they're engine swapped.
>>28990082your cuckbox would get raped and gaped by this hill
>>28991638Turns out adding more diffs just adds more points of failure for those diffs to open
>>28990034I would've killed for a widebody proper TCR edition of the Elantra N instead of the "regular N with spoiler and bigger brakes"
>>28991657They're not open though
>>28989745I don't fucking care for what you wanna care about you gigantic faggot, go buy a Chevy Cavalier and kill yourself by driving said Cavalier into a tree at full speed
>>28991661So, a 6 figure race car they can sell to private teams
>>28991638>lazy axlewhy?
>>28992302kek no just build a body kit for the N that matches or is similar to the TCR car, maybe bump the engine power a bitinstead of just throwing on a spoiler and mounting it backwards
