The 325e isn’t bad, mine specifically has been a nightmare but I would say the toughest part I have had to replace is the control arm, everything is simple to access BESIDES the inner ball joint, once familiar with the process it isn’t bad but time consuming. The motor mounts are also somewhat of a bitch, I thought…

Don’t forget that the trunk may need minor to major rust repair holding water, I just got axed on an old car myself that rusted from the inside out due to bad weather seals. It looked fine underneath the e30 until I started peeling carpet back when I noticed it was weT, turns out pretty much all the wheel wells were…

Did I really just read someone insinuating that the Cube looked good? You need a new pair of eyes.

The newer Cayman’s share a platform with the newer Boxters as a 718 now do they not? And people would still buy Cayman with a ME 911 because the price points will not even be in the same category, we are talking 1 of them being an entry level sportscar platform and the other being a top level homologation special…

I reread my posts I’m sorry for sounding like a complete asshole. Glad I could at least get my point across originally when I bought my gti I test drove an r which had more miles and it was a lot more than I paid for the gti and needless to say it left a bad taste in my mouth. It was faster than the GTI but it…

The celica spent a few decades as RWD.. the first parts of its life

To help and put this in perspective for you the mk7 GTI makes almost the same exact power that the mk6 Golf R does to the wheels which is between 220-230 whp and rare cases higher and around 250-260 wtq and the Performance Pack GTI is actually faster in a drag if it hooks up. The mk6 R was a disappointing car to a…

And the original comment I was replying to (which wasn’t yours) asked if the mk7 R was better than the mk6 and their is a night and day difference the mk6 golf R is a bad buy and an absolute turd of a “performance” car while the mk7 is legit . If you haven’t even driven either car then please stop replying because…

Ok first of all I was talking about mk6 GTI and R so you already sound stupid to me, wasn’t that what the argument was to begin with? Me saying the mk6 R was a bad deal? And I was comparing REAL numbers not the fictional numbers VAG puts out, the mk7 gti from the factory makes more HP to the wheels on a base mode than…

The yellow bird was fast but it didn’t have extraordinary handling, actually it was probably one of the hardest cars ever to drive with the power it produced. It made world record Nords. Time back in the day but it had nothing to do with the way it handled old laptimes in that car look intense, the average joe would…

Bro idk about you but a 20 horsepower 20-30 tq gain from the GTI to R in a the mk6 years isn’t worth the price difference even with awd. If you bought an mk6 r I feel bad for you, and I am comparing apples to apples even with the stage 1 on the gti I have a few thousand dollars left to spend on mods before I come…

Lol a 70 horsepower difference on paper and just a better platform all around so what do you think? You get way more out of the the gen3 Ea888 from tuning too. With just a stage 1 tune from MAP performance my Mk6 GTI would smoke a stock mk6 R pretty badly and I wouldn’t come very close to the mk7.

You beat me :(

I thought the same at first, now I’m seeing Koennigseg in the roof line and Huracan at the backside

That’s why with the DSG you put the stick to the right of drive in the “manual mode” so you can shift with it in the turns when you can’t tell which paddle is which.

My original point was Keiichi would call a powerslide a functional drift to save time around a tight corner, Keiichi and the would call a “drift” a drift that is flashy and meant to show off. Basically they would both be drifts in his eyes, was my point and you’re right they are two completely different techniques in…

And yes I know the drift bible covers all of this because that is what I’m sourcing a lot of my info on, I wouldn’t think you would power oversteer for a powerslide on a rwd either because you would usually have too much yaw coming out of the apex into the corner exit. Obviously it depends on how broad the turn…

I’m not talking about Keiichi Tsuchyia I’m talking about The guy from car throttle that this story is revolved around. I’m just saying that a typical powerslide you don’t use power over technique to initiate, how do I know? It’s most common in all wheel drive rally cars, which don’t power oversteer very well since…

Although I guess if we are using the definition included in the video on the post he is actually powering over to initiate his “powerslides”. I don’t think that guy really knows what a true powerslide is though

Ya, that was my point if you powerslide typically you are in line with the corner exit past the apex. A “drift” by today’s standards usually means your car has the most extreme yaw of the turn after the apex to where you have to countersteer to regain traction going straight. And actually I think a powerslide is…
