Not to be defensive, but I grew up around Farmalls, Cases, Deeres, and even the odd Belarus. I meant that about the valvetrain noise, not the exhaust note.

Toyota 5S-FE. Bullet-and abuse-proof, unfailingly made 135 horsepower for 250,000 miles straight with a little distributor seal oil leakage as its only design flaw. Never drawing any praise (nor deserving any) for its characteristics, I would be unsurprised if this was the engine most used by people who read this…
I drove my friend's about ten years ago, but being spoiled by my old 325i's M20 B25, it felt and sounded like a small truck motor, torquey but unwilling to rev. Now I drive a WRX that sounds like a tractor at idle and kinda miss both of them.
Looks like their website got hacked. Weird, I've never seen this. EDIT: Enjoy the music!
I've always loved how Lil' Sis shows off, barely missing the parked Datsun truck on the opposite curb, then blowing through the stop sign. I never understood why the Supra didn't whistle, though. If it had, the 90's-perfect turquoise Geo Prizm would have known to take an alternate route from four blocks away.
I know it does very little (if anything), and can cause dangerous lean conditions for forced-induction due to MAF sensor repositioning. I've corrected the tune for mine and enjoy it just because it makes the turbo and recirc valve more audible. *Whistle turbo goes WSSHHHHSSSSsss*
This. Dealer charged me $75 parts and labor for a $20 cabin filter that takes me 5 minutes max to swap out. It's a Subaru, not a Jaaaaag.
Why would track safety guys wear camouflage (other than 'because Russia')?
In college, rebuilt a 4HP22 ZF 4-speed slushbox with no prior knowledge of how they work, just a manual, a rebuild kit and a prayer. I'd blown up the poor thing hooning in a wet parking lot (though I still blame the famous design flaw of that trans). The E30 love kept me driving 3 hours each way back home each…
I consider the detent below 65 to be max A/C. Likewise, I consider the one above 85 the Nuclear Blast Furnace setting.
Will someone please explain to me how more pistons equal more braking power? Is it just the better distribution of force? Better modulation? Because a single fat piston can pretty easily overcome the mu of the tire's contact patch.
Looks like Cthulu wearing a backwards baseball cap. Also, the "cap" appears to feature a pair of tighty-whities as a logo. I am not on drugs.
I considered that (I drive a tuned WRX), but I thought smoke due to running over-rich was darker. It looks like bluish oil-burning smoke, like my old Celica used to have. That wouldn't surprise me either, really, rings must take a beating pushing 900hp from 2.0L. Or maybe some EGR problem due to being overwhelmed…
The car smokes considerably on throttle lift @2:17, didn't expect to see that.
Wow, yeah, they facelifted the Fusion really quickly. I be AM is miserable about Ford's 13.7% face-raping two-thirds of their styling right about now. Make it a coupe and it'll be the 2014-15 Mustang.
Wow, I had no idea that the gorgeous XJ220 sounded like a tractor.
I think it's full-circle, given the performance-enhancing nature of a turbocharger. Impreza on steroids, indeed.
Good point, but the old ones had a screen too for large rust flakes and whatnot.
