My only mode of transportation Luckily it has a 2-way limited slip diff so the copious amount of snow one gets in this region isn't a problem.

First new Vehicle. Wooo! Sadly not rotary powered but that's what the GF's RX-8 is for. (I will have an FC again some day) I followed Jeremy Clarksons advice and bought something very green.    2012 Wrangler Unlimited with a 6 speed manual. The Pentastars in these are really nice. Have both the hard top and soft top. Keeping it stock until after the warranty runs out will be difficult. That being said I am not fond of the chrome and am trying to find someone locally who wants to trade the chrome accessories for black ones. Time to start lurking in the Jeep thread.

I thought roof scoops also had the added bonus of creating a positive pressure area in the cabin keeping dust out.

It has occurred to me that no one believes me when I tell them I run Super Advans as my winter wheels, I finally have proof. Plus I didn't have any recent pictures of the whole car. That's fixed now.  Now once spring finally arrives in this neck of the woods I can rectify the colour mismatch. I love this car. Most fun DD on the planet.

Out with the old: And in with the new:   In spirit of the thread title: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBtmDdyMqo8 The offending vehicle is a 2015 F150 Supercab 4x2 with the 3.5L Ecoboost an E-Locker and 3.55s. It weighs 4500lbs wet. Something this heavy should not be this fun.

PleasusChrist posted:That rear slidy window thing is fuckin weird. Agreed - it does however have one very useful purpose - completely eliminates wind buffeting with certain window open combinations. I totally could have lived without it - sadly due to the big options I wanted, this came along for the ride as it were.

Powershift posted:There really shouldn't be any turbo lag. did he have the truck tuned to work with the intercooler mods? Powershift is right, my '15 ecoboost is pretty much on boost immediately. Something isn't quite right with that trucks tune if it's not spooled right away.

DoLittle posted:Yesterday we bought a Renault Twingo supermini for wife's commute. Registered late 2016 with ~ 10k miles on the clock. Four year/ 60k mile warranty. Mildly interesting technically because it is RWD and rear engine. Just a 1.0 three cylinder though, so certainly not sporty. The weight is just 940 kg (2070 lbs) so it is not too bad in below highway speeds. I had no idea these existed. That is awesome! It's kind of like a French Kei car. Have any more pictures?

Ultimately, power is power. Those turbo 4's, especially on E85 can make some serious numbers that even an F body v8 couldn't touch stock.

Based on what Bisimoto had done with them, I would say you could do a hell of a lot worse. The 3.8 has 6 bolt mains and can make 1000hp if you know what you're doing.

Whichever auto manufacturer redirects partial regen braking energy to produce sparks off the radio antenna as a replacement for decel fuel overrun will be getting my business for life. Double if the antenna makes it look like an RC car.
