Anyone happen to have any photos/posters from them? Here’s one
2004 Crown vic with the police package. I'm sitting at 192k miles.
Some days it feels super slow to get up to speed and other days the accelerator is super touchy. Ive even had days where I'll go from low power to touchy and vice-versa in the middle of driving.
Transmission was rebuilt at 174k miles, I don't remember whether it's an 4R75W or 4R70W.
I love the engine and transmission but holy fuck what a fucking weak ass truck, it's pathetic just how much plastic I've littered just croozing around. The alabama trashcan memes were right.

Nerds who post track times on here will be completely defeated. Are you ready Porsche f words? Q is in control now…
If you put it in neutral and rev it before shifting into a lower gear, I heard it aligns the gear shafts so the synchros don't have to do any work when you put it into gear.
But if it's in neutral isn't the engine disconnected from the transmission in the first place? How would doing anything in neutral affect something in the transmission?

Only thing keeping my attention is the "Ferrari designed" marketing, and the unquantifiable driving dynamics. Am I to believe they designed the Quadrifoglio with an incredible suspension and chassis, and simply swapped the differential and engine or a few other things here and there, and just sold that car for much less?
These seem to be going in the mid 20k range all day for some pretty well optioned Q4s, are the "driving dynamics on level with a porche" actually worth it, or is it another bullshit buyer remorse talking point? This thing is in the same segment as the G70 which stomps it by 100hp not to mentioned improved interior.
My car has a high flow cat, headers, intake, and an exhaust with a burble tune. It's really not that loud and the burble activates high in the rpm range.
If I drove across country, what are the chances of me getting into legal trouble with it? As long as it's not loud and a have a high flow cat should I be fine? It's just a normal Corolla, but the exhaust looks aggressive.
Has anyone successfully bribed your examiner to pass the gay ass commie road rules shit that Canada has?

2 months ago, BYD announced that their Qin and Seal 06 hybrid models will use their latest powertrain, which is the most efficient in the world, giving it 2100km+ range. When this was posted on /o/, everybody claimed it was fake news and not a real technology.
This week, Toyota announced that they will use this new powertrain technology in their Corolla hybrids, so basically just selling a BYD hybrid car and slapping the Toyota brand logo on it.
What does /o/ think about this? Is Toyota getting scammed by this fake BYD technology? Or is this actually real?

This is still available to us while GM already nixed the Camaro and Stellantis did the same to the Challenger. I'd get an EcoBoost but no manual transmission is available for it, imagine buying a 4 pot and then losing even more power to the tranny, couldn't be me.

tl;dr bought aftermarket intake for fun, car ran lean (I think), took it off, now looking into tuning to get correct AFR.
Do I need a wideband O2 sensor to do this if I'm literally just looking to get it running ok with the intake? It's a cheap project car I don't really mind fucking up. I don't want to tune for performance (at least for now) I just want to get it running properly. My intuition as a retard is that narrowband would be enough to let me add fuel until it's no longer running lean.

I talked to a local tuner and he told me those 6.2L in the hellcats are very fragile and easily shit the bed.
dude is the go-to tuner in town, probably tunes 15 cars a week.
He won't even add boost to them because they blow up so easily.
The tunes are all timing and air fuel changes.
Apparently if you accidentally put 87 octane gas in a stock hellcat, it'll probably blow up if you push it hard.
How did Dodge manage to successfully shill that engine so hard?
Is there any reason to get an s10 over a ranger? I'll consider others but the parts availability is a big deal for me. Any years/models I should avoid? I also want to build a hydraulic lift for loads like pic, because it would be cool.
Can anyone here tell me if this is a bad idea for my first and hopefully final ever luxury car?
Which was better?
>oil wasn't a thing, maybe check once a year

what happened?
I'm stuck in europe and my retarded ass keeps buying shitboxes from usa. Bought chrysler, bought ford, IT'S TIME FOR GM BABY.
I also have another photo of something else
My car redlines at about 6200 rpms. I'm almost always shifting by 2500 unless I'm trying to speed. If I'm cruising for more than a few seconds I'll almost always be in the highest gear.
Am I really "extending" the life of my engine by shifting early all the time or am I just being retarded and keeping myself from hearing my glorious v8 come to life for no reason? Seems like a lot of people will accelerate up to 35-55-whatever and keep it in 4th (or 5th, if it's a 6 speed.) Seems much more fun but yeah, I've always figured it's always best to keep RPMs down, always. Without bogging your engine of course.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xtI04rhwTk
The instant torque at low RPM is just very comfy, the Q50 comes with a V6 too so plenty of power to enjoy the cars also, since should be reliable.
Anyway, as with any sane person, I decided to check YouTube for long term reviews and stuff, and lo and behold all Q50 videos are filmed by Black people, which got me thinking why are niggers attracted to these cars?
Ask me anything.
im trying to get month to month insurance in california and some agents keep offering me $50 plans with a ~$300 sign up fee. and some are like $60/mo with no sign up fees. where are these fees coming from? insurance broker taking their cut?
also some agents have offered next day insurance, some have the 14day wait period. where does this come from? how can i filter it out?
also is there an option for when i am away from my vehicle for 6months of every years? can i "pause" my insurance?

>inspired by the success of the Porsche-based Glöckler specials of the early 1950s, Porsche set out to construct the company's first proper racing car. Although stripped out competition versions of the VW based 356 had proven moderately successful, the team in Zuffenhausen agreed that a more specialized machine was required to continue their racing success. Despite the limited funds and time available, two separate programs were initiated at the factory. Ernst Fuhrmann was in charge of designing a competition engine (project 547) and Wilhelm Hild headed the development of a new chassis (project 550).
>There were only a few months available for Hild's team to construct the new racer for its scheduled debut in the 1953 24 Hours of Le Mans. The design was very similar to the mid-engined Glöckler, which was equipped with a modified 356 drivetrain reversed with the engine between the driver and the rear axle. A simple steel tube ladder frame was created with six cross members. The front and rear suspension were similar to the production Porsches with some small revisions to handle the expected higher load. The brakes and wheels were also sourced from the 356 parts bin. Two chassis were constructed, but with Fuhrmann not ready yet, a 356 1500 Super engine was fitted.

>The AAMVA is a lobbying group that rose to notoriety in JDM owner circles when one of its internal documents was cited as a reason for banning kei trucks in Rhode Island.
>The AAMVA has yet to be formally linked to bans in some states, though there is circumstantial evidence of association with multiple other states’ bans. That June 2021 document that laid the groundwork for the Rhode Island campaign was authored in majority by people from states that have also banned kei or JDM vehicles at large, or placed some level of restrictions against them.
>it's the batteries, stupid!
Batteries are about 16x less dense than gasoline. Even when you take into account the superior efficiency of electric motors (70-90ish % vs 40% for ICEs) that only makes batteries about 1/10th as good as gasoline. Fuel cells are the only realistic answer in the near-term, and that tech hasn't gone anywhere in decades. So until the battery problem is solved, failures like Ford's F-150 electric shitbox are going to worsen as consumers figure out that EVs suck.
And no, battery research is never going to solve the problem (at least not for hundreds of years). Battery tech is very slow to advance, it has always been slow to advance, and there are no "breakthrough" technologies that will change that.

My questions are:
How likely is it that the engine will die in the first kilometer?(im ok if it dies on the second)
How to calculate the exhaust properly? (also, I saw a video on how to achieve the f1 sound recently, anyone got the formulas behind the paywall?)
Injecting small amounts of water into the exhaust during antilag to prevent it from burning and also generating steam for turbine-retarded or not?
