There's no plastic anywhere. I guess no one told him that the polymer in CRP is plastic, hence the acronym. So here's a Volvo PV444 made out of plastic (and some carbon fiber). Known as the "Carbon fiber PV", since what they did was take a PV444, strip the unibody bare, measure it, and then remake it completely from CRP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zyDgepdRDY

echoplex posted:Spotted this brill little Volvo. Notable only for the fact that it's still alive, and that it's clearly been loved. It was about as good as a car like this could possibly be, given it's a daily driver. The guy who owned it looked like David Attenborough, but twice as old. Look at that little guy.  Poor Volvo 340s & 360s, most of them so unloved.

Try a GIS for "vallåkra volvo". It's a big Volvo meet here in Sweden, and for some reason people build all kinds of strange things to attend with.

 Octopus Magic posted:I'm not really a huge fan, but my biggest issue is going to be how much is Toyota planning on pricing the next Supra (or if they call it an FT1), and I'm also very of worried that they're going to throw some bland N/A V6/V8 with a CVT transmission that has floppy paddles (that they can cannibalize with Lexus), and call it a day. If it's over 50-60k it'll be an interesting side note in history. Back in 1995 the list price of the Supra Turbo was around $48k, which adjusted for inflation would be $73500 today.

PSA gearboxes are quite bad (sloppy linkages, floaty feel) even when new, and the old MA/BE boxes weren't any better. He's just used to it, I guess. But I'm more impressed by this than the latest "DOES THE RING IN LESS THAN X" supercar.

I don't have any investment in the PT either way, having never been exposed to one, but I just have to wonder how many of you would call it "one of the worst cars ever made" if you'd ever owned an eighties Lancia. I've owned an eighties Lancia. Fake edit: I talked to my coworker literally today about stuffing a 2JZ into an A-body, and what shows up on speedhunters today?   I love it.

Being great at different disciplines also has a lot to do with willpower/drive. Gunde Svan, a former swedish cross-country skier won four golds, one silver and one bronze medal at the Winter Olympics during his career. He also won seven golds, three silvers and one bronze at the World Ski Championships, plus winning the World Cup five times. After retiring from skiing, he took up rallycross. quote:As a competitor in rallycross he got one gold medal in the Swedish Championship and a bronze medal in the FIA European Championship for Rallycross Drivers (1995: Division 1 – Group N category; with a Toyota Celica GT-Four). One of the reasons for getting into another sport was that some people called him a natural skier while he himself maintained that it's just a matter of will and dedication, according to his famous tagline "nothing is impossible". He applied the same methods to his driving as his skiing and even built his own reaction-tester to practice the for rallycross eminently important starts.

Throatwarbler posted:The part that isn't mentioned is that the new engine also has a water pump and thermostat that are both electrically driver/controlled. So you can rest easy, VW being well known as a supplier of reliable waterpumps, thermostats, and eletronics. I seem to recall BMW using electric water pumps since the E90 and even though modern BMWs have lots of electric bullshit breaking all the time, the water pump isn't something I've heard about yet?

Earlier gen 3-series, absolutely (GODDAMN COOLING SYSTEM and all that), just nothing specific about how the water pump is now a piece of poo poo because it's electric. Slavvy posted:Really mercedes-benz are the only modern german cars I can think of that aren't plagued by crippling faults and hideous design deficiencies. They seem logically designed, friendly to work on (as friendly as high-tech luxury cars ever get) and built to a quality standard instead of a cost. Do I have to say "Sensotronic Brake Control"?

EightBit posted:You don't have to gently caress with the carb too much if it is still pulling from atmosphere (maybe put a richer jet in there if the flow is getting close to the max the carb can handle). I'm not sure that having fuel/air mix going through a hot turbo is too smart, though Draw through turbo setups aren't exactly unheard of, though.

When I looked through my pictures, I realised these were taken ten years ago, jfc where did all that life go? Anywho, here are (the only two) pictures I took of this car when Midnattsolsrallyt (a historical rally) was arranged around here.  Yes, that's a 1958 300SL Roadster, driven IIRC by a man aged 65+ with his wife as co-driver. That's a goddamn million dollar car, being used as a rally car (so I can't really fault the guy for being a bit slow as evidenced by this video). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRB-zqlzLg0 Some of the other guys step on it a bit more, some really nice cars and sounds in that vid.
