>>24753672He’s not a tranny like you desu
this is a very basic question but I don't know the answer.mpg wise, is riding in low rpms always the best option ?don't really know to put this, but my car reacts noticeably better to the throttle at 3-4k rpm than on lower rpms.it feels like the engine is working more efficiently.is that the case ? does it affect mpg ?
>>24752645You have a weight movement problem. Every unit of weight takes a unit of energy to move at a certain speed.If you increase the weight, you'll need more power to move along. Thus, the engine will have to rev higher to produce more power to pull heavier loads. Notable exception at past peak of the power band. Nothing past the peak will make the engine handle a load that the peak cannot satisfy.
>>24752645If manual transmission, no. The crankshaft is directly connected to the input shaft of the transmission through the clutch, a certain speed in a certain gear will always be the same RPM.If automatic with an unlocked torque converter, yes. A torque converter is a fluid coupling, so crank RPM is not locked to input shaft RPM, and they will vary in relation to eachother depending on load.
>>24752645Cruising at 65 mph in top gear you may only be at, say 60% load for that rpm. You can climb a hill or fight a headwind (or accelerate) by giving it more gas and using more of the available power.If it's an automatic it won't downshift (raise rpms) until the engine is giving all it's got at that rpm and you are demanding more from it. Then it kicks down a gear (or two, or three). >>24754003Retard alert>>24752088Also dumb
>>24749248YesYes
>>24749248Generally yes, you run at low RPM's for mileage. This is why most automatics, when you're not pushing the gas down trying to quickly speed up, will go up to like 2.5-3k rpm then shift and try to maintain around 2k RPM.
i dont mean to be a contrarian douchbag, but I cant stand the look of most MK4 soups, they just look like overgrown miatas to me, the look of the MK3s is just so much better.
>>24752368Not even controversial. The headlights look super dated, the styling in general is boring toyota except the wing. Just look at how bland those wheels are. Compare all of this to the FD RX7 which is a timeless design.
For me, it's the mk2
Anyone have a pic of that car /o/ put together as a group? It basically turned out to look just like a mk3
>>24754371hot>>24754357not hot>>24752368hot until the headlights go up, mk3 should've already had fixed units
thats fair, the A90 supra is the superior version in every single way though
OHNONONOHO AHAHAHAHA

What brand new car fits this criteria?>turbocharged 4-cylinder>either eight-speed or 7-speed dual-clutch>reliable brand, ie not european>sedan or compact suvI was excited to see the new Honda Civic as it met all my criteria, except it has a CVT, which sucks. The Accord has a 10-speed and turbo, though it’s rather pricey, sells for about $37.5K in my country.
>>24748827>>reliable brand, ie not europeanseething weeboid
>>24752744bad dealer = no one buys it = no one wants to open a shop to maintain itgood dealer = everyone buys it = plenty of workshops and spare parts specializing in a brand are open for business
>>24753048What kind of shitty backwater region do you live in if that is actually a problem?
>>24753101dude, if no one in a region wants to buy a certain brand because its dealer(s) are rubbish, no one will want to open a workshop or spare part store specializing in the brand. it’s basic common sense, which you don’t possess, apparently.
>>24753122>implying a Golf GTI requires a specialist workshop
>holds a light aircraft pilot license >is afraid of heightsHow does that work?
>>24752495I'm somewhat afraid of heights and I fly planes as well. I'm not bothered at all when I'm in a plane, probably because I'm strapped into the seat and have a window between me and the outside world, and also because I'm focused on flying the plane and usually looking off into the distance instead of down at the drop. (But even when I do look down it doesn't really bother me, even as a passenger.)
>>24752495Heights are only scary if you think you'll y survive the fall and be in agony.
I'm terrified of open water, but if I'm on a boat, even a small one, I'm perfectly fine.Irrational fears aren't exactly the most coherent things.
>>24752523It's doctor slow now
>>24752495Most people aren’t strictly afraid of heights, they have a distrust of the safety around them. I get motion sick unless I’m the driver
How is my car so based
>>24752353
Can't beat classic Mopar.
>>24751584add the 413 to the list.

>>24753195From a better, vanished time when american cars, or even cars in general, had inspired design. Just compare this to the Other LeBaron.Fucking appliances today, I'm looking at you, Rivian fags.

Auu~ auu~
>>24754158Maybe you should change the fluid of the gearbox?
>>24754176Its a manual 2003 S40 BolboTheres transmission oil?
>>24754188Every transmissiom has oil, silly
>>24754188Probably gear oil rather than ATF, yes; my Outback calls for nearly a gallon of 75w-90 up front.

Hello everyone,I have been thinking about getting myself a new car recently.I currently own a Kia Forte 2013 in a pretty good state, about 90k on the odometer, but the motor itself was changed by Kia about a year ago due to the piston problems the Forte had from 2011 to 2015. Change happened at around 80-85k.I've been thinking about getting a 2022 Hybrid Elantra for the sake of saving on gas due to gas getting crazier and crazier prices around here (went up about 0.20$/liter in the last three months).Now my questions are:Considering:A budget of 100.00CAD$ per weekWith only choice purchasing and not leasingIn QuebecWould a 2022 hybrid Elantra be a good choice?Comment too long.

You want to buy a new car when they are all marked up from the worst manufacturing shortage in history. You have a car with a brand new dealership installed motor with 10k on it. How about you wait a year before you hurt yourself.
the retro era was a mistake
>>24751054I would love to see a sedan that slab sided again.
>>24750806I really like mine. It's a 2004. Got a great deal on it cuz the tranny was going. I Rebuilt the tranny. I replaced thermostat and housing and put in a new radiator. At 100,000 I change spark plugs and wires to once better to that model. Fixed a lot of the suspension stuff so it rides more like a Lincoln Continental than a Ford. Thought it sounded a little weak so put in a borla exhaust and added a k&n high performance air filter It seemed to give it a bit more boost and a nice rumble when your foot's on the gas. Car is a dream now. Nothing like riding around LA and the top down
>>24752337very cool anon
>>24752337I had a chance to drive one and was surprised that thunderbird's dashboard is 1 to 1 copy of my Lincoln LS dash (or it's other way around)
>>24751279>The roofline, separate trunk, and long straight hoodNigga what are you on about? Separate trunk? It has to be a wagon/hatch to be an original design? They made one of those already retard picrel. And many other full/midsize sedans of the same era have similar features.
Is it the best combination of low price and performance available on the used car market today?
>>24754173C5 is the same platform, but cheaper. So…no?
>>24754173yeah
You lads know of any guide/forum/video on the IS-F? Mainly what to look out for before buying one. Any recalls etc.I can't find anything objective on the net.Thanks in advance.

>>24753215V8 that can BARELY beat a 2liter 4cylinder. You already know what to do bro. Vid and pic rel, thank me later. https://youtu.be/EH5hIprm67g
>>24753658you act like you've never seen gas prices this high before
>>24754088>I'm gonna stick to early 2000s cars.Cringe, i'm gonna stick with 1980s pony cars.
>>24754145Not as cringe, but I'm going to stick to pre-70's classics.
>>24753658tfw gas costs more than double that in my shithole country and our wages are 20% of yours
>>24754017> Car battery recycling technologies [DO NOT RESEARCH]tldr the recycling technologies today 1. Take too much energy and complimentary materials 2. Is not profitable 3. Is barely used
