my 85 GS had 120k on the original motor and it still had perfect compression when i pulled it a few months ago to swap in an NA 13B. As many have said here the reliability is over dramatized because most don’t take the time to understand why these engines fail. All factory rotaries rely on a small mechanical pump that…

Its a wrap, not a paint job. In short that means its both much cheaper and reversible... 

Why is everyone still hung up on mileage... its not the 70s anymore. Mileage means next to nothing on japanese cars made after the early 80s.  What matters is service history and love.

Was the Camry a manual? My experience of late is that a car being manual trans equipped can basically double the value.

Get the Sur Ron’s, you wont be dissapointed.  They change everything hahah

I think you’re critiquing design language and value-determined brand coherence more than the overall look of the car. Do you honestly think they look similiar? Does a 370 look like an RCF to you? I think you’re just trying to pick something new apart to make yourself feel like you’ve had original thought...

hahahahaha wow, i meant in an AWD car per the article but i realize how you could have gotten that impression.

THIS!!

When was the last time you did a full bore launch from a dead stop? Do you know how bad that is for basically any car not a 911 Turbo?

From an Engineering standpoint, its easier to electrify heavy vehicles.  

You are my people!  love the fleet!

Im mad we never got an H6 powered BRZ

You’re pretty much spot on, id guarantee nearly all the electronics are coming from china. That is not a bad thing these days. Working in R&D/QC at a US-based light mobility company taught me a lot. First off with china you get what you pay for. Our company had our products offshored to high end production facility in…

If all that money just went to the battery then yeah. But this is a full size motorcycle with a larger footprint, bigger motor, higher capacity electronics, bigger wheels/suspension, and its made in America.... I dont see it.

I still dont think so. I have a sur ron and ive never come close to its rated range of 40 miles, let alone 30 miles. Im sure you could do it on flat ground going 20-30mph but resisting the electric torque shove is not easy. So i guess its feasible they could get 100 miles out of an~5kWh pack but not in anything…

I think the argument made is that Jaywalking puts others at risk in the case a vehicle has to make an erratic move to avoid said Jaywalker. This may have been a real thing in 100 years ago, but modern cars dont do erratic. In short its an entirely a bullshit Law that needs to be sunsetted(sunset’d?).

Not sure if I was the first to do it... but in college I started waffling tater tots... and IMO its a breakfast revelation. Fried egg on top and you have some top shelf hangover food.

I learned to drive in one of these and i can attest that they are indeed good trucks. My dad put 240k hard miles before he sold it and the engine never gave him issue.  

For me it comes down to the tools. I spent a summer in college working at a shop and honestly felt like I could comfortably do anything there besides rebuild a transmission or diff.

Its the software and the testing man. Sourcing the parts, fitting them, and updating the bom is probably only 25% of it.
