[errant hazel]

fun fact: an electric drill has more torque then a miata

🐟

[proper elbow]

No it doesnt

Most power tools are measured in in/lbs. Vehicles are measured in ft/lbs

[errant hazel]

stock miatas

[proper elbow]

now if you're talking about the big industrial impact wrenches, yeah

Plus power tool ratings are usually peak torque, what they can put out for a fraction of a second

not a continuous rating like a car

if a power tool put out the same continuous torque as a car, it'd break your wrists in an instant

[heady swift]

no not really

[errant hazel]

well. some of them

[heady swift]

not really

[errant hazel]

or if you swap the engine of an electric drill.

[heady swift]

like most common drills are below 50 nm

miata is 150-200 stock

which is rather weak, but still a significant difference

[errant hazel]

i see now

a miata hits 7200 rpm max meanwhile a drill hits 750 - 800 rpm

[kind osprey]

Holy shit

I never thought one of those would actually sell

[old sedge]

Is that hybrid?

[coral valve]

its an LMH

So yes

[old sedge]

Oh

Glickenhaus and Alpine are LMH but not hybrid though but if this Peugeot LMH is a hybrid, then it will give Toyota GR010 a challenge

[coral valve]

Nah

I think toyota will keep their crown

[old sedge]

Toyota won 24h of Le Mans mostly because no other LMH competitors have hybrid cars.

When Porsche was still competing in LMP1 category, Toyota was having difficulties in winning a WEC race.

[coral valve]

And Kobayashi

They have goatayashi

[old sedge]

And Toyota almost won the 2016 24h of Le Mans but the leading car, which is Toyota, started breaking down at the final 6 minutes of the race

[coral valve]

Yep

[old sedge]

Audi and then Porsche left Toyota alone

Next year, we might see a beautiful Le Mans race

Because of Porsche, Peugeot, Ferrari and Audi

Just like the golden days of Le Mans

[kind osprey]

is Aston Martin there?

[old sedge]

Probably not in LMH or LMDH

Ferrari v. Lambo for overall win at Le Mans, good way to show the rivalry.

If I'm not mistaken, I think Ferrari has more experience in motorsport than Lambo.

[jagged lily]

Boats

[heady swift]

I mean it's developed for LM, but entry requires cars to race in additional races

[heady swift]

significantly more

lamborghini has had some minor gt3 victories

[old sedge]

What I know is Ferrari has been in motorsport for more than half century, not sure about Lambo

[sage roost]

Ferrari have been in motorsport for almost 95 years now lmao

@real zephyr someone in my friends server lives in Monaco here are some clips from today

[real zephyr]

o that’s so niceeee

[misty vector]

So my dad has 2 cars, barely drives them the reason he has 2 is because my brother got his license last year but also he barely drives, im talking about maybe 1k miles per year maybe not even (both my dad a brother), my dad does wash regularly tho, but earlier today my neighbor rang the doorbell and asked if he could sell one of the 2 because they’re taking up space and he quote: “never drives them anyway” (they’ve been parked like this since January) my dad just straight up slammed the door in her face, you guys think this was a appropriate reaction? Just wondering what you guys think.

[lunar berry]

nahh dude what in the world

[kind osprey]

Your neighbor was an ass for that, your dad had every right to do that. But the neighbors comment completely aside, why do you have multiple cars if you don't drive them?

that's a lot of extra insurance and maintenance costs for no reason

one car would do fine unless you guys need to drive to work at the same time or something

[misty vector]

Well, with how much he drives there’s barely any maintenance costs really i mean that silver one he bought new in 2017 and only has 4k miles on it, he changed the oil only once, But i do get what you’re saying and I don’t get it either, cause its not the case that they both need the car or something i think it’s more like a status for my dad as he keeps them clean pretty good he also sometimes goes on drives and says “i drive not because i have to get somewhere, but just to make sure the battery doesnt die haha” lol

Yeah after thinking about it I really think it’s more of like a status or like a trophy for him, some kind of weird flex but ok stuff

actually has Cadillac ever raced at all?

I never cared to look into that

[proper elbow]

Yes, back in the 50s

iirc they had an LM car in the early 2000s as well

[delicate grotto]

They’ve literally only been gone from LM for 3 years and they’re coming back

[kind osprey]

oh damn

[delicate grotto]

They’ve also been winning a bit in GT a while ago

[heady swift]

they raced in le mans a few years back?

[heady swift]

I mean I don't keep track of the gt3 class but I've not seen them in lmp1 or 2

[delicate grotto]

Daytona Prototypes

Or well, a sub category of LMDh

But a few of the bastards were competing for a bit

I'm still wondering why Toyota doesn't equip their FJ Cruisers with a diesel engine, like either the 2.8L turbodiesel engine or the 2.4L turbodiesel engine. If it has diesel engine, it will take a big W in Ph.

I would choose it over a Montero Sport/Pajero Sport and Fortuner when it comes to off-roading

[jagged sentinel]

Yes

It has big batteries that supply the other 1100 or so horsepower

Literally all their other cars have small-block V8s

[jagged sentinel]

American lawmakers be shitting and pissing that it doesn't have a rear window

[loud spade]

[jagged sentinel]

What, a camera mirror?

[loud spade]

A camera, yes

Unless...

[jagged sentinel]

It's a Mercedes, it fucking better have one

[loud spade]

No it definitely does

No fucking way

[jagged sentinel]

My dad's 70,000 Chrysler has one, that 7-figure Mercedes must have at least 7

[loud spade]

It does have a rear view camera

[final robin]

Ive never sat in a car with camera rvm

[heady swift]

they trapped a guy in the rear view mirror!!!!

[final robin]

Car with rear camera yes but not instead of mirror

How does it work how do u know the ends of the car

[jagged sentinel]

A beeping noise

[final robin]

That's one way

[loud spade]

Ever seen one of these

[jagged sentinel]

It's the most reliable way without a rear window

Even then some rear windows aren't very good at being windows

[final robin]

I wish they had some guidelines of sorts

[jagged sentinel]

In the US it's basically illegal to sell a new car without a rear-view camera

I mean, it is illegal

[final robin]

I can't precisely tell if that car is 10 or 15 ft apart

[final robin]

Guidelines as in like guiding lines

[jagged sentinel]

Reverse cameras have those

At least in the US

[final robin]

Yes

[jagged sentinel]

I'd imagine in the european cars too

[final robin]

Another way would be to see part of the car itself

[jagged sentinel]

I don't use rear view cameras if I don't have some sort of reference point

We put a reverse camera on my 03 F150 but I have no reference point like the bumper or anything so I don't use it really

[final robin]

Trucks have this truck bed camera thing right that works better because u know where the ends are

[main cosmos]

I have one of these but not with the monitor thingy
It only beebs

[final robin]

That's exactly my problem with the amg camera

[loud spade]

That does the job tbh

Most modern cars have cameras all around, and on the screen you see a display of the car itself

As well as guidelines

[final robin]

Yes yes 360 camera is cool

[main cosmos]

I need to install a camera

[final robin]

But it works only at parking speeds in my country there's always a biker tailgating u when u are in a highway

[loud spade]

Rear view cameras work only at parking speeds, but rear view mirror cameras stay on

I believe in some cars you can even activate the rear view camera

[final robin]

Yes exactly

[loud spade]

Either way, I just use the side mirros

[final robin]

Yea

[errant hazel]

fair enough

[kind osprey]

They are making like less than 100 of them they can all fuck off respectively

I don’t get why hyper cars need rear windows when we have cameras

[jagged sentinel]

Still waiting on those boomers to legalize camera side mirrors for passenger vehicles

It's not happening until at least 10 years after the rest of the developed world does it

Not only that, I would wish for a dashcam to be required and preferably, manufacturers should have built-in dash cameras too

[kind osprey]

I don’t understand why this isn’t a common thing by now

[old sedge]

Here in Ph, costs I guess

But if they can afford to buy a car at Ph price, then they should be able to buy dash cameras

[jagged sentinel]

Chevy's sports cars have them with the PDR

They aren't "dashcams" per sé but Chevy knows that they could be used as dashcams and thus have implemented ways to use the PDR camera as a dashcam

[old sedge]

That's nice although Chevy cars in Ph are rare because Ph car market is dominated by Japanese car brands

Chevy also just doesn't export very much tmk

Chevy's budget cars are well... shit

Chevy backed out of india like 5 years ago its focusing only on select markets like China

Before the pandemic happened, Chevrolet was struggling in SEA

The US car brand which has the highest sales here is Ford and they're still behind Toyota and Mitsubishi as well as Honda

Tbh, I see more lesser popular car brands like Hyundai and Kia on the streets than Chevrolet. I still want a Corvette though

Idk why they don't trust Chevy, Chevy seems reliable

I would buy a Chevy for reliability at low cost

[final robin]

It's just everything feels so cheap u know just molded plastic everywhere

Kia feels way better to sit in

Actually I think Olds was gone awhile before '08

[final robin]

Yea im not sure either

[jagged sentinel]

Hummer was dropped too

Which was inevitable even without the financial crisis

[final robin]

I never liked that gen hummers

Tbh not a great fan of the new ev one either (pickup)

[jagged sentinel]

It's not very good at being a truck, apparently

[final robin]

The ev is really cool with lots of new features and all

My problem is the design tho very futuristic doesn't have a... soul to it

Its as if some product designers designed this instead of car designers

[jagged sentinel]

I mean it has a thousand horsepower

That's all the personality it needs in the US

[final robin]

Yea

Its

[jagged sentinel]

And because it's a GM car it has a lot of really interesting and well-thought-out features

Doug Demuro did a video on it

Because of course he did

[final robin]

Say if someone sketched a new car by hand on paper they'll most likely wouldn't end up with this design language

[jagged sentinel]

Americans don't really draw cars anymore

CAD, 3D stuff, Fluid Dynamics Simulations

[final robin]

The 2015 mustang is probably sketched by hand

[jagged sentinel]

Lemme rephrase

Concepts are sometimes drawn by hand

[final robin]

We can tell because the lines are curves have a flow to it

[jagged sentinel]

Not sure that's conducive

[final robin]

Yes yes

The tuscon has the opposite of flow

[jagged sentinel]

Countach

[final robin]

Same with the bumpers of the new crop of bmws

[final robin]

No countach has a flow

U can draw it without lifting the hand

At least the first concept

The later ones with bodykit no

Aah I'm struggling to explain might be a personal problem

It’s a pipe dream rn, they are trying to make an 6 cylinder f1 engine and a heavy electric battery somehow perform like an f1 car

[final robin]

Damn that 458 is so nice

[nova estuary]

The 2 red spiders have since been sold. But the guy replaced them with a McLaren 765 LT and a Huracan performante

[final robin]

F12 is my favorite looking Ferrari

[kind osprey]

The f12 and the 812 are amazing, front mid engine cars done right

[jagged sentinel]

Plus it's powered by Italy's bread-and-butter engine

[kind osprey]

The 599 is probably my biased favorite because that's a nostalgic one for me

[jagged sentinel]

F12 was the V12 Ferrari of my more influential years as a car lover

I.E. my early childhood

Plus I do genuinely think it looks fantastic, even by today's standards

[final robin]

@kind osprey naah not just that the 488 is way more aggressive than 458

[jagged sentinel]

The side intakes on the 488 GTB are weird to me

[sage roost]

812 my beloved

[jagged sentinel]

At first I didn't like the headlights on the 812

[sage roost]

It’s the taillights that look great

[jagged sentinel]

Yeah

Everything else about the car is great

Just the headlights are mid

Apparently it's quite polarizing

[jagged sentinel]

[kind osprey]

Apparently the first car to ever be sold with Forged Carbon was the Sesto Elemento

[final robin]

Sesto elemento is sesky

[jagged sentinel]

I thought that car has weaved carbon

[kind osprey]

It's like matte, but yea it's probably a bit of both

I haven't seen one in ten years

[jagged sentinel]

Or whatever normal carbon fiber is called

[kind osprey]

I didn't know what forged carbon was back then

[jagged sentinel]

Didn't they use some funky wording to describe the red parts of the car

[kind osprey]

Oh no it isn't a weave

interesting

[jagged sentinel]

Basically described paint in a fancy way lmao

Forza lied to us😡

[kind osprey]

I can't believe that weighs 2070 pounds

[kind osprey]

[jagged sentinel]

The FH5 Sesto has weave carbon

[kind osprey]

it may have been an option who knows

[jagged sentinel]

It has that pattern on it that normal CF has

[kind osprey]

They don't even have metallic paints

[old sedge]

Guys, what do you think about the 1st and 2nd gens Mitsubishi Pajero(or Montero in Spanish speaking countries)?

[proper elbow]

Cool trucks. Gen 2.5 is the one I'd go for if they were widely available in my area. Still get the solid rear axle and rear diff lock.

Gen 1/2/2.5 they were still "trucks"

[old sedge]

Here in Ph, I think gen 2 or gen 2.5 is marketed as "Field Master"

And they really look rugged

[proper elbow]

The blister fenders on the 2.5 are super cool imo

[old sedge]

I like the old gen(gen 1 and gen 2) Pajeros more than the current ones

[proper elbow]

My gen 3

[final robin]

It was the shit in my country in the 2000s

[old sedge]

Oh wow, nice Pajero

[final robin]

Now its the fortuner which is basically suv version of the hilux

[old sedge]

Here in Ph, the current Mitsubishi Pajero is just too expensive that buying its "smaller" cousin, the Mitsubishi Montero Sport/Pajero Sport is better because the latter is cheaper and has more features.

[final robin]

Hmm

[old sedge]

Here in Ph, for basic/entry model, Montero Sport is better than Fortuner because the Montero Sport has more features but for high or top end, the Fortuner is better...

However, when it comes to fuel efficiency, the Fortuner defeats the Montero Sport, even the Fortuner's 2.8L diesel engine is kind of more fuel efficient than the Montero Sport's 2.4L diesel engine and the 2.8L diesel engine is really powerful and bigger in displacement. The Fortuner's 2.4L diesel engine is a lot more efficient.

[old sedge]

Since Mitsubishi doesn't update the Pajero, I think the Land Cruiser and Prado(mini-land cruiser) would trounce the Pajero, especially that Mitsubishi said that they're planning to discontinue the Pajero.

[final robin]

Yes mitsubishi closed shop in india long ago so fortuner has the market practically all by itself

[old sedge]

So no Pajero/Montero Sport anymore?

Oh wow

The only thing I hate about the Fortuner is its stiff suspension which makes the ride bumpy

Montero Sport and the Nissan Terra have soft suspensions which make the ride comfortable

[final robin]

We used to have the everest/endeavor but ford moved out too

[old sedge]

Sad, the Everest is cool

Although here in Ph, current gen pre-facelift Everest suffered reliability issues, particularly with the turbocharger.

[rancid thicket]

No? It's pretty good unless you are talking about off road to the max lvl

[old sedge]

Nah, it's still stiff. It's comfortable only if it's really loaded

[main cosmos]

my grandpa has a VRZ fortuner, idk if im too fat or something i always have a hard time getting in the car. always hit my head over the roof

[old sedge]

The Fortuner Legender(LTD in Ph but it's exactly the same with the Legender) is so beautiful, the Fortuner GR is more beautiful.

And I'm happy that Toyota gave the Fortuner dual-zone AC since the single-zone AC seems outdated for a vehicle of its class.

Unless we're talking about basic/lowest models.

[main cosmos]

Yes it was low and after some inspection, they saw that the front right brake calibre is leaking oil.

[old sedge]

I really like the Fortuner and Hilux previous gen's diesel engine sounds, especially because their turbo whistle are louder.

Same with the previous gen Montero Sport, it was selling really good but the sudden unintended acceleration issue ruined its image.

[mint plank]

not as bad as toyotas stuck gas pedal issue

[old sedge]

I think I heard that in the US

[mint plank]

which killed a family

[old sedge]

The problem with the Montero Sport sudden unintended acceleration issue is there are good chances that those are driver errors

There are CCTV footages which are cut from media which show that the SUVs which caused accidents were perfectly fine then the "sudden unintended acceleration" happened after a switch of drivers

Those led me believe that those could be driver errors

Although Ph gov't investigators concluded it as unresolved

On the other news, looks like Chevrolet Trailblazer is underrated here. It doesn't offer much but it's cheaper than most of its rivals like the Fortuner and Montero Sport.

And I don't hear anything about Chevy having reliability issues so I guess they're okay?

[proper elbow]

The new trailblazer is 💩

It's cheap. That's all it has going for it

[proper elbow]

They should be able to replace the piston seal. Don't let them upsell you on a brand new caliper if the piston isn't damaged.

Assuming it's leaking from the caliper itself and not a brake line or something

[old sedge]

Cheap and powerful, it has the 3rd most powerful engine in its segment, its 2.8L engine used to be the 2nd most powerful engine back then but Toyota tuned the Fortuner's 2.8L engine and made it more powerful than the Trailblazer's engine by 1hp.

[proper elbow]

Y'all get a 2.8l? Here the trailblazer only has a little 1.3l 3 cylinder

[jagged sentinel]

Americans hearing "1.3L" and "engine" right next to each other in the same sentence

[old sedge]

What kind of Trailblazer is that? The Trailblazer I'm talking about is this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Trailblazer_(SUV)

The Trailblazer in Ph gets a 2.5L turbodiesel engine for MT and 2.8L turbodiesel engine for AT.

[old sedge]

Ooooh

We have a similar Chevrolet crossover called Chevrolet Trax, it has 1.4L turbopetrol engine.

[proper elbow]

I think we got the Trax here too

[old sedge]

It's good for starters, like the Honda HR-V

[proper elbow]

I wish we got the Suzuki Jimny here

Need more small economical 4x4s

[old sedge]

We have those here, their lightweight compensate for the lack of power in off-roading

In fact, one Filipino vlogger and one S. Korean vlogger made a video of the Suzuki Jimny vs Toyota FJ Cruiser in a mud off-road area, no climbing though and the Suzuki Jimny was able to go around it just fine while the FJ Cruiser got stuck

[old sedge]

I wonder how close he is to Enzo Ferrari since I read from one article that his death deeply troubled Enzo that he has a picture of him in all his permanent offices and residence...

[old sedge]

Do your tires really need to have lower pressure than required in normal road conditions when going off-road?

[surreal saffron]

You do indeed.

First, it improves the comfort of the vehicle when you are traveling across rough terrain.

It also improves the traction of the vehicle, as lower pressure greatly increases the footprint of the tyre which means there's more rubber on the ground.

[old sedge]

Oooh

Wikihow also said that lower tire pressure also decreases chances of the tires getting punctured?

[mint plank]

it massively depends on the terrain at hand

bushland? not so much

soft sand? yes absolutely

[old sedge]

I want this because the Land Cruiser Prado is not small enough
https://www.autoindustriya.com/auto-industry-news/mitsubishi-nissan-developing-a-jimny-sized-contender.html

Would this need the Pajero Sport's 2.4L turbodiesel engine or the Pajero's 3.8L V6 petrol engine?

Nvm, the Pajero Sport's 2.4L turbodiesel engine might not be enough so the Pajero's 3.2L turbodiesel engine could be good for this for diesel variant.

I don't really own a turbocharged vehicle but some people say that maintenance costs of an NA vehicle are cheaper than a turbocharged vehicle.

[safe scroll]

It is

Turbo's and their piping have to be maintaned. So extra cash is required

[old sedge]

And in case of diesel engine, the CRDi(common rail direct injection) adds up to the costs too(not sure about turbopetrol's direct injection) compared to simpler NA engine

[old sedge]

This is the reason why NA is still good to be considered

Here in my country however, people think smaller turbocharged engines are more fuel efficient than bigger NA engines with same output but with everyday driving style, nope.

[jagged sentinel]

They generally are in the US

UK styling is shit. Believe me i drive a uk car in a country that isn't in europe

That's where mine is

[old sedge]

The way how people drive here forces the engine into positive manifold which makes them end up having worse fuel mileage than bigger NA engines

[jagged sentinel]

don't engines over there not make very much power

You burn more gas in a turbo car while spooling than getting boost. Idk why but there is science behind it

[jagged sentinel]

Turbo isn't always spinning, that's the thing

[old sedge]

It's because most vehicles here have small I4 turbocharged diesel engines except the sedans which have NA or turbocharged petrol engines

[jagged sentinel]

So it adds a layer of inconsistency

[old sedge]

V6 and V8 engines are for the rich guys here

[jagged sentinel]

Eventually they'll be for rich people in the US too

Yeah, when the wastegate opens that causes the tu tu tu sound after the climax

[old sedge]

And many engines are getting smaller as time goes by

[safe scroll]

Sure you knew that though

[jagged sentinel]

Most cars don't make that sound

[safe scroll]

Most car with larger turbos and higher psi

[jagged sentinel]

Performance turbos, yeah

An Isuzu Mu-X has 1.9 I4 turbodiesel engine.

But turbos added just so the car can get out of its own way...

[old sedge]

Yes, 1.9L engine

My focus has a larger engine wtf

[old sedge]

What's the engine of your Focus?

[jagged sentinel]

Americans seeing an engine with a displacement of under 2 liters

[old sedge]
