that is a bit of a stretch. The Senna loses. In a 1/4mi AWD launch would simply secure the lead against the NA 4.0 V8 of the Senna. Turbo 4rotor's peak numbers are far from comparable to Nissan McLaren V8
Normal aspirated quad rotary already makes over 500kW
Add turbos and a Senna is gapped if it already didn't get out revved the first 2 gears
I meant to post this earlier

gleaming meteor
In a 1/4 mile yeah he was racing Ken Block in his Hoonicorn and not losing by that much that was like a year or 2 ago so it probably performs way better now
But on a circuit he has understeer problems not having his suspension figured out because he was focusing on his powertrain and didnt want to put a lipstick on a pig by doing something quick
he is still using his MT tires and doesnt even have a sway bar I believe
He will be on an episode of This vs That on 20th so we will finally see it in a drag race
brave rampart
I would imagine something with a LWB (extended wheelbase technically) regardless of how mid-shipped the engine is will encounter much trouble when cornering.
All the mass will still transfer onto the front when braking before a turn and by that point it plows if you aren't on slicks
brave rampart
he is still using his MT tires and doesnt even have a sway bar I believe
now that you mention what it can be missing laterally — I'd actually say it's a lost cause unless he widens it even more
in order for a car to corner it needs to be able to transfer load laterally between both sides or else it just does what the Toyota Soarer/JZX cars do best.
Slide.
Raise the car for suspension travel, widen the track, run thinner tyres, add sway links...

this is copied from the RAF museum
"The Supermarine Spitfire is the most iconic warplane in British history. Famously
flown during the Battle of Britain, it was one of the reasons we were able to win. It
was powered by a Rolls Royce Merlin engine and could travel at a top speed of
360mph or 580kmh. It could carry 164 gallons of fuel, and travelling at top speed it
used 50.3 gallons of fuel per hour."

Without the proper front torque split, Dahm's car out accelerated the Trackhawk after launch. Powering the rear with more torque was more efficient than a 50-50.

I see
brave rampart
what car are you driving btw
The Proton Segment bespoke to the nation as it is a domestic car of Malaysia
that's the O² sensor there
but that'll only to tell you where it is
What you need to do is get an error code diagnostic tool for the OBDII (2) port in the driver cabin. In most countries, you can buy them online and read any error codes/search them up after they "flash" on the device screen and replace parts accordingly.
Example: P0420 code usually = O² sensor is faulty. >Order a new one >unplug the old one, unscrew from the exhaust manifold with a wrench >replace, plug new one in, and then start the car.
OBDII/OBD2 is a plug that goes directly into the ECM/ECU to relay any info to road legality inspectors from cars made internationally 1997-present. It's at least a 32-bit computing unit.
in the 2nd gen proton, the port is above the pedals, left of the steering column.
@quartz glen I hope the info helps (if you didn't already know)
Otherwise it is wise to get it checked by someone who can diagnose cars locally if the fuel consumption issue is bad.

You have a 911S with a Super Carrera engine. Way more simple than 930 Turbo. Live the Luftgekuhlt life to it's fullest.

The R32 is quite primitive in todays standards even with it's nifty gadgetry
The rear steering was hydraulic the variable AWD system was buggy and it's programming was one of the reasons it fought so hard to not understeer
The torque vectoring capabilities that are present in a quad motor setup is very very interesting. The elimination of drivetrain is certainly one to ponder.

R32 parts aren't too crazy to source. Especially with rear steer delete. Only issue is the engine servicing. Which they all need because they are 30 year old cars. Those parts are pretty much bespoke to BNR chassis (R trim)
they share a lot in common with 300zx, S chassis, etc.
Aftermarket brakes, coils, arm setups, and knuckles can be used because the hub assemblies bolt in.

bitter anvil
yeah it’s from the ECU
brave rampart
they test by own logic, test by ecu, and test by voltage by checking all wiring harnesses with a variety of auto-electrician tools

something beyond my knowledge. Which it might be since I am no certified electrician

this was from before the sensor replacement since that was what the code indicated. but it could be something like that too like bad contacts or a leak

The new lap is slower than the old one. That’s not the fault of the Type R. As of 2019, the rules around what counts as a “lap” changed + the new route is longer, meaning all newly certified record times will be higher.
As of the change though, the FL5 holds the fastest time around the track in the Front-Drive Production category. The previous title holder was Renault which beat the previous Civic Type R (FK8) by 3 sec. (7:40.1 for the Megane RS Trophy-R)

brave rampart
<@387760950390030338> any questions I should ask or some knowledge about buying ...
for any W201 you need to check for the obvious which would be rust under the plastic exterior parts, if not there the wheel arches must have no rust (generally no car should unless they plan on expecting a few less from the checkbook)
Further, inspect all linkages behind the front wheels. They have some impressive engineering, make sure the ride is smooth with no signs of blown strut(s) which would make the front bounce after hard braking or any bump. No coils that bow outward very noticeably. (The cup that retains them from above should be relatively parallel with the ground making the coils sit vertical) they should not be cracked.
if it's a private seller and you can inspect it is best. Make sure there is no visible and/or odd smelling smog out the exhaust after warming up. — These determine if the injectors are firing at the proper levels if the engine isn't violently shaking in it's place.
if they can provide photo, video, or even have you or a third party inspect it with video or more recent documentation then that's good. Hopefully they got the liquids from or serviced by Mercedes for all or most of it's life.
The coolant is very specific as to avoid corrosion on the cooling jackets that run through the head gasket.

Don't think I heard about this manufacturer until now
brave rampart
I'd imagine it's a kit car
a Marcos coupe but better proportioned
it looks french though
brave rampart
the back sure looks like it
I like how it rolls. The visible weight shift
- the small diameter and thick tyres

wow
Via a friend in Oceania
UPDATE: car has been found
Team Free Spirit is dope though if you lot are into imports (especially to Europe or the States) he's big on exposing shitty restorers that throw up rubbish on the auction blocks to unfortunately get bought by some nineties baby with an anime obsession unbeknownst to the many flaws and lies.
Worth a follow, although he gets his account restricted for defamation (which also happens to be a sizeable offense in Japan no matter how truthful)

btw that Simola hillclimb event yesterday was classic cars and today there is a king of the hill

Whats your take on the electric conversion?
Of what?
silk coyote
Of old cars I guess
I seen people electric converting their sports cars and classic cars
silk coyote
Someone Tesla swapped a RX7
While there’s a whole debate on how electric is really bad and all that crap,I just avoid it
But the general idea is that I think it’s cool and more impressive
People LS swap there cars,no one bats an eye
Someone electric swaps and the whole world goes crazy
brave rampart
that was good
silk coyote
Like keep the same energy
brave rampart
to do so for the purpose of experimentation and development from an independent standpoint is good
like Bisimoto's 935 EV
brave rampart
he's made 700-900hp twin turbo 930 slant noses and all that
silk coyote
Idk if he was towing the 935
brave rampart
he has earned his right to pioneer his own projects. That 935 is just a step towards potential legal compliance for a custom vehicle
if California does it's thing and mandates it --->he's out of business

If I was more tech savvy with the automotive world,I would like to experiment with hybrid engines,I know it gets a mixed rep but I feel there’s potential untouched there
brave rampart
That's pretty good

Yeah,We pretty much like to fuck over the car community time and time
Especially with the state ref on stock cars

That's pretty good
Honestly,it was the F1 car by Cadillac that kinda sparked the idea in me
brave rampart
if I were running a garage. I'd experiment with modularity. Parts interchangeable. 18hr EV swap-ability on a custom chassis
swap between petrol drivetrain or motor
drop out subframes
silk coyote
if I were running a garage. I'd experiment with modularity. Parts interchangeabl...
you mostly got experience from your circle and working in the shop eh?
I honestly thought subframe were chassis
thats how little knowledge I have
and here I am trying to expirement with hybrid engines
😭
brave rampart
Hahaha it's nothing crazy. You'll understand it fully in due time
gleaming meteor
speaking of modular
I don't remember if I already posted this video before or not
brave rampart
No worries if you did

not a big fan of the clickbait titles but this video actually has the info put out in a nice way so it is fairly simple to understand

I think I can see 2 door handles in the mirror
I would assume that it is a Mini Hardtop 4 door
but I might be wrong
I'm not good at finding out the interiors but a 2015 one seems to look like the one she has but there might be the same interior for multiple years
the 2023 one looks different though than the one on video
ok 2019 or older it seems based on interior
2014-2019 from what I have found but once again this is just my google fu

leaning towards around 2015 as well

F55 is the codename for that generation and model

They're the reason for these
Silhouette regs inspired Kaido (street) racer style. This style is often confused with the term "bosozoku"
this is a MX-5 Roadster (Miata in the West) with a slant-nose long-tail conversion
livery inspired by the 70s, Gen1 Mazda (FB) RX7 IMSA spec and the Porsche 935LH Moby Dick

I think its the Aura if that makes sense
Like no disrespect for JDM cars, especially classics, nice cars with nice styling
but for me, German cars
I do like the mini-coopers and that some ferrari but I like the German Euro catalog more

nice haha. I often jokingly say "keep the kids far away from eurobeat"
too many clips of lads spinning and guardrail bailing + the inevitable stalling because they don't clutch in.

Oh yes
certainly. I'm trying to recall if Gemballa, Koenig, or any of those tuner houses did their own slantnose widebody kit
With a 959 style fenders
best I could find
cute little thing

Sheesh

Hell,even doing that carbon fiber thing
carbon skinning? or full on cf part making? It is just glorified fibreglass manufacturing
you lay fibre until it's thick and in shape of something for actual panel making. Preferably within a mould.
Carbon skinning is taking cf and laying it overtop plastic or non-cf pieces. It's purely visual. Done on interior pieces usually.
Every layer of fibre is bound with epoxy/resin/compound. Then it is vacuum sealed as tight as possible to ensure even-ness and no air bubbles between layers and resin.
