you know most of the things they've said is just general used car stuff

#

the cylinder liners issue doesn't apply to the one im looking at cause its a 01 year

native ermine
#

all of these reasons don't apply to me either

#

i work on my own cars... yeah its a pain in the ass but i do it and enjoy it?

#

there may be something wrong with me

#

but in any case im not stupid and think that "this car is going to be cheap transport... not something that needs to be worked on"

#

<~< thats why im not selling my E46

#

or my dads E39

#

im hopefully going to buy it because its a great car and i've always wanted one since i was a little kid

#

have yet to see the car in person tho

#

we'll see tomorrow

dull cedar
#

There's simply just better options than a jag

native ermine
#

yes but i don't care

#

thats not at all my point to wanting one in the first place

its an absolutely stunning car and something you don't see on the road as much anymore

I don't like the split headlight design

Split headlight go brrr

prisma frost

So...nice

prisma frost
stoic ledge
#

Normal headlights, indicators... are in the top one

prisma frost
#

I guess you could say my headlights are split as well

#

Top ones are highbeams, lowbeams and indicators. Bottom ones are the DRL's, fog lights/cornering lights

stoic ledge
#

Any car with seperate foglights are split headlights OMEGALUL Although usually fog lights are lower in the bumper

I guess so yeah

stoic ledge

Ah DRL is also in the lower ones? Can't remember on a Polo 6C

Yeah

I know my sister in laws 6R has them in the normal headlight

That's what the switch is still there for yeah

But I don't mind not being able to turn it completely off tbh

prisma frost
#

Yeah I mean I never put it on the off position

#

So basically u won't need it

stoic ledge

Technically this is safer as you won't get in the situation without lights in the evening

True

I still wonder often how people manage to do so

I came up behind someone trundling along in the overtaking lane with massive spray hiding their car as you approached flashed and they tapped the brakes.

I just run mine 24/7 I dont have a car thats annoying to change bulbs

When I had the saab I could just leave it switched on and it would go on / off with the ignition

And I was closer than that tbh, probably 6 or 5 inches

charred depot
#

its possible to do it with basically zero gap just need alot of patience

stiff bloom
#

No? Unless your car is literally an oval when viewed from above, a car will always be wider diagonally than it is long

charred depot
#

basically

stiff bloom
#

Alright well basically could mean anything seeing as on average a car will be about 1.2x wider diagonally than it will be long twingking

#

And the longer the car is the less significant that ratio will become

#

But the closer to the curb you park the more significant that ratio will also become

carmine summit

its a mildly ok chassis with a truck engine

graceful flower
#

if you're looking at C3 and older yea

carmine summit
#

C4/5/6 all have truck engines too

#

they changed the block material and ported the heads

#

otherwise it's the same

graceful flower
#

that's like saying a loaf of bread and a brick are the same thing because you changed the material

carmine summit
#

thats a horrible analogy

#

have you heard of platforms or architecture

graceful flower
#

but no I get what you mean lol it's all pushrod SMAWL BLOCC CHEBYS

carmine summit
#

they could have easily gone to a flat plane crank and gotten way more RPM out of it

graceful flower
#

but that's the beauty of it, they're such small, relatively light, simple, durable engines, why bother changing it too much

carmine summit
#

but they didnt

#

its just a truck engine with ported heads

graceful flower
#

why do you need to rev high if you make GOBS of torque down low

#

also LS1s rev to like 7k+ no?

carmine summit
#

because low end torque is useless in a lightweight sports car

graceful flower
#

oh 6250, yea it's low but its just the character of it

#

torque is what schmooves you

carmine summit
#

this makes a stock LS look like a joke (because it kinda is)

#

and it's what the LS could have been

#

back in the late 90s/early 2000s lingenfelter was running flat plane V8s over 10000 rpm

graceful flower
#

even then though, the "truck engine" ones are durable, quick, take forced induction mods really well etc etc so

#

I'd gladly take that over some junk overengineered garbage that'll hit 10k once before donating a piston to the iss

#

it wasn't meant to be a crazy exotic exclusive sports car, these things were mass manufactured

carmine summit
#

yeah and it wouldn't have cost much to go to a flat plane crank and rev it higher

#

one casting change and a different cam, fire the coils in a different order

graceful flower
#

how durable would it be though?

carmine summit
#

there would be literally no change in durability

#

GM is just incredibly lazy

graceful flower
#

its one thing to say "haha we made an engine that hits 10k rpm on the dyno" its another thing to say "we made an engine that revs to 10k that you can put in the hands of any idiot and they can beat on it for decades to come"

carmine summit
#

know a Ford engineer who used to work at GM

#

and I've had to work with GM on contracts

#

they're lazy there and their engineering processes are all over the place

graceful flower
carmine summit
#

mismanagement

graceful flower
#

like I thought C4 almost didn't happen because dwindling sales of C3 that stuck around for way way too long

#

it was all mismanagement and it's still going on

their newer stuff is pretty "exotic" though

guaranteed

graceful flower
#

the only reason I won't buy a c8 is because you can't get it in manual, definitely not because I am a brokey

fathom socket
#

Closest example is Lexus’s V8

graceful flower
#

has there ever been a good cyl deactivation?

carmine summit
#

yeah most companies do it just fine

#

buy a dodge with a hemi and the cylinder deactivation has no problems

graceful flower
#

Honda had some issues with it too in their V6s

fathom socket
#

Just be Lexus. Make the engine cycles differently

#

Overbuilt that shit

graceful flower
carmine summit
#

yeah but right now they make better cars than GM

#

the bar is low and GM can't reach it

graceful flower
#

dodge?

carmine summit
#

yes

fathom socket
#

Yep

graceful flower
#

what do they even make

fathom socket
#

Low credit score cars

carmine summit
#

charger, ram, pacifica, dart, challenger

fathom socket
#

Just buy a Toyota

carmine summit
#

all better than the GM offerings

graceful flower
#

they're still making the dart? what the heck

carmine summit
#

idk maybe

#

probably

#

they don't retire things for like 5 years after they should

#

ok it is discontinued

#

but they make the durango and chrysler 300 and hornet

#

the 300 and hornet suck

#

durango is mediocre

graceful flower
#

challenger is heavy and old, if it wasn't for the hellcats they wouldn't even be in the conversation with camaros and mustangs

#

the last decade of Camaros were apparently amazing

carmine summit
#

not really

#

truck engine with ford transmission

#

they're not bad but like, they're nothing special

graceful flower
#

the vipers were cool, but ofc they killed it and everyone went crazy and massively jumped the price of them

graceful flower
carmine summit
#

yeah but it wasn't designed as a truck engine

#

it was designed to be used in everything

#

and make power

#

that's why the hellcat/demon/hellephant exist

#

the only thing chevy has that compares to the hellephant is the ZZ632 and that's completely unrelated to anything they sell in a car today, it's an old big block

fathom socket
#

And its like 8.3l V10

graceful flower
#

idk, me personally idc what it was designed for as long as it performs competitively and is robust

#

like idk the LT4 or whatever in the ZL1s, idk if it started as a truck engine and personally idc lol

fathom socket
#

Probably emissions or dodge being dodge

graceful flower
#

atleast the earlier ones?

carmine summit
#

pretty sure they built the V10 for the viper first and put different heads on it and shoved it in trucks

graceful flower
#

ah interesting

carmine summit
#

viper production started in 1992 and it wasnt in the trucks until 1994

graceful flower
#

still salty that gen 1's cost 50 grand now

carmine summit
#

and then in the mid 2000s they took the 8.4l out of the viper and shoved it directly into ram 1500s

#

no mods

graceful flower
#

and gen 5s cost 200k

theres one listed at $38k with 47k miles on it but it likely wont sell for that

graceful flower

yea but 33 ish doesn't seem too far out there

carmine summit
#

theres one at 82k miles for $26,591

graceful flower
#

damn I gotta fly down to the states, buy a car and drive it up

#

you guys have so much more variety I'm jealous

i'm not even american i just look at listings across the border sometimes since it's close

#

oh haha

#

I am looking for a manual C5 with a red interior

#

and I have not seen a single one pop up on kijiji autos

#

and then I filter autotrader.com and see these guys have like 20 for sale haha

why would you use kijiji in 2024

nobody uses it anymore

# graceful flower Manual or SMG?

This one is an SMG car. I have a second one that I'm having swapped to a manual (it's in far better shape with low miles. the one in the video I sent is the one that I take to the track/autoX)

#

And yeah these cars aren't cheap to own. They are inefficient, they drink absurd amounts of oil, and parts for the S85 are not cheap. And if it's ever the top end, you need 10 of each component.
Still cheaper to drive often than a Gallardo though. If you're cross-shopping it with other V10 cars, these cars are actually typically far more reliable and cheaper to own. They are expensive compared to a V8 or an I6, sure, but the S85 is an exotic F1-derived race engine that happens to be in a road car. These cars were badly misrepresented by media and people online that gave them an unfair reputation.

That said, makes them cheaper for people like me so :)

#

i did notice it is blowing white smoke out when just started. do you know what direction i have to turn it? i cant find it on internet

charred depot
#

Generally I push the top towards the engine till it knocks a bit then back off a bit

charred depot
#

The white smoke can be a dead glow plug or a little bit of air in the fuel but a common one is the injection timing being a little off that people overlook

#

You can leave it loose and run the engine shift it back and forth, just loosen and retighten the lines once you are done so they arent stressed.

fair moon
#

But yeah they're not cheap

#

Bonus points if you've done rodbearings already (in that they're expensive to have done)

#

sadly they only made ~1,360 manual E60 M5s

if you look for specifically high-dollar rare enthusiast vehicles, maybe. But those are more often investment vehicles than anything. You canadians are FLUSH with accessible classics

#

When I lived just south of the Vancouver border it made me cry how many Escort RS Cosworths I saw on Craigslist in BC for a regular basis that were under $20kUSD that were literally unimportable because of our fuckign import regs

graceful flower
#

And we had 0

#

Atleast within 1000km of me

#

But then I check autotrader.com and and you guys have tons and tons of them 🤣

#

Same with hellcats, C5 Corvette etc. I'm not in the market for any of those things except the C5 maybe in the next year or two but still

stiff bloom
#

Well I think those particular examples are due to the exact area you're looking in. What US city did all those pop up?

#

Cuz there's basically no Cadillac Vs here, ditto with hellcats (at least except for prestine, <500mi "collector" (see also, "speculator") speciments that demand almost several times the original MSRP

#

(I'm PNW)

graceful flower
#

I just sorted by full country but I found some really nice ones within like 1 day of the border

#

Chicago NY etc

#

Really nice as in better than nothing

#

🤣

#

Like that c5 I sent was around 25k cad after converting but thats easily 30k cad car here IF you can even find one

stiff bloom
#

Well I can see your problem, you sort within 1000km in your country but the entire US LMAOri

But yeah, 1 day of the border is like 1/2 of the vertical US, and most of the motor cities are there. Detroit, Chicago, Indianapolis, NY, you're spoiled for choice there LMAOri

graceful flower
#

I didn't even know they came with a red interior till I pulled up autotrader.com

stiff bloom
# graceful flower Dis

Oh fucking yeesh, yeah this is a cherry "survivor", 28k(cad) is ridiculous. You say they charge 30 for that there?

graceful flower
#

Well the price isn't the main point

stiff bloom
#

also 2k cad isnt that much of a difference haha

stiff bloom
graceful flower
#

It's the fact that I couldn't even find one with the red interior

stiff bloom
#

Oh, so the benchmark is red interior now? LMAOri

#

My point was overall availability of cars that weren't collector/investor items

And that terrible interior needs all the help it can get

I figured out the other day that with my new tune i can do 140km/h in 3rd gear in my MK3 TDI

6000 rpm on a diesel is wonderful

charred depot
#

my estate essentially has a petrol gearbox so is aids

#

can do like 15mph comfortably in top gear

#

driving at 20mph in cities you use every gear its like fast and furious

#

that still runs a relatively standard boost though so only has 90-100hp.

I'm only on like 17 psi of boost

1.2 bar boost

being fully mechanical is nice but is hard to be smoke free when wanting high power and having a not so fast spooling turbo.
