I waaaant to say that that is an American plate on the back but I am not sure. The person who posted the pictures (to this california, Bay Area fb car spotting group) was not the photographer.

Seeing as it's also the pre-refresh 2012-2014 CR-V, if that thing is in the US it's definitely a grey import somehow.

Is there any evidence to preclude that the CR-V received the diesel via an engine swap? Then again, I wouldn't have used such a new car as the recipient considering it would have probably been under warranty and surely there are older and cheaper options for recipient vehicles. And why yes I have been researching the feasibility of performing an engine swap with a diesel engine that isn't available in the North American market in a recipient vehicle that is at least 5 years old and figuring out how to make it road legal in New Jersey. I'm contemplating a Subaru EE20 (which I hoping to have it make at least 180 hp) in a 2006-2009 Legacy Wagon or Outback or a 2003-2008 Forester (no older for uncertain crash safety rating reasons) if anyone was curious.

VikingSkull posted:I bet that made a noise quote:The White Triplex (also known as Triplex Special and Spirit of Elkdom) was a land speed record car built for J. H. White and driven by Ray Keech. It was powered by three 27-litre Liberty aero-engines, for a total of 36 cylinders, 81 litre displacement and a claimed 1500 bhp. quote:The simplicity of the design also led to a farcical situation with the official scrutineers. The regulations required "means for reversing", which the White Triplex didn't have. Mechanics first jury-rigged an electric motor and roller drive onto a tyre, but this was unable to rotate against the compression of the three large engines, which could not be un-clutched. An even more Rube Goldberg-like contrivance was tried, an entire separate rear axle was fitted, held above ground until dropped by a release lever and then driven by a separate driveshaft. The device was ridiculous, and isn't believed to have been fitted during the record attempt itself, but it satisfied the scrutineers. You drive 36 cylinders and what do you get oh quote:This record was raised to over 230 mph by Henry Segrave in Golden Arrow on March 11, 1929. Keech was asked by J. M. White to drive again, this time at Ormond Beach, and to re-break the record in the Triplex. Keech wisely declined, considering the car to be too dangerous. White then hired their team mechanic Lee Bible, a garage owner with no experience driving at these speeds. atomicthumbs fucked around with this message at 04:34 on Oct 10, 2014 |
