How are VAG products so incredibly based?

Why would anyone buy an Audi when you can just get a BMW and avoid all the problems?

Fixed

Are you that retarded that you think the timing chain is a service item? Opinion discarded and saged.
Hey /O/
What are my chances of having someone report me for buying a car over $10,000 in cash on Craigslist?
Do you think they'll just keep their mouths shut and be happy with the money?
I bought a car with $40k cash on Craigslist
You'll be fine

reported to the dea
>what are the chances
literally zero %
Has anybody heard anything about these?
On one hand, I've heard so many stories of plug-in things just being a placebo thing that just has lights.
On the other hand my car has god awful throttle delay that I really want to alleviate.
>>15398514
Should've gotten a carb'd v8, you physically control the throttle.

>carbs
>good
After going through 2 carbed trucks I'm never doing a carb ever again.
>>15398514
Lets remove a delay in a closed system by adding MORE to the system.
Thats not how it works at all, It can't work at all. You can't do anything to a cars ECU/BCU system to make it faster let alone ad extra shit and expect it to be faster.
$289 - $319 dollars, fucking hell are people this dumb?
Thoughts and opinions?

It looks so much out of this world from the back. Jesus Christ, this is a pure work of art and engineering.

Has anyone driven a Genesis here? If so, what were your thoughts on the vehicle?

Can you make a FWD car better THAN RWD? Is such a thing even possible?
I'm a Miata driver and I just don't get these people with civic "track cars"
There are some really decent fwd cars, with good lap times and quick acceleration and handling.
They are good in in the snow and for the average driver they are safer to control.
pic related is a 9 second fwd car
>>15395672
Subtle
The FWD vs RWD debate is stupid because no car has been made in both FWD and RWD versions*. What makes a FWD or RWD car better than another won't just be the drivetrain layout because there will be other differences too.
*Someone prove me wrong and make a fair comparison between the two

it's interesting that the power cut happens at higher rpm's though, you'd think that if it was a detonation problem they would cut maximum torque in the entire rev range.
Maybe it's to prevent the turbo from overspinning?
Name a faster street legal V8 powered car.
Protip: You can't.
That wouldn't make it out of my driveway, let alone up it.
What if there is a stick in the way?
post your car
protip: you can't
>>15398394
Devel is faster.
and street legal.
So I had an idea.
WHy not have a piston that has compression on both strokes? So when it compresses on one side, it is intaking on the other, and when it is detonated, it is exhausting the other.
This could, technically, be done with a low pressure oil path through the piston for lubrication, and one or two crankshafts (because you could also *pull* on the piston.
>>15398362
How are you sealing the conrod through the head you fuckwit.
What I described is a double acting piston.
Why don't we use those in modern cars?
>>15398376
The connecting rod is a solid rod sealed by a piston-ring style arrangement in the header.
You know, the same way a piston seals itself from the crankcase.
OP here.

Tell me about Kei cars? I was doing some ambien listening to Giorgio and playing that game on my famicom and i was wondering if there are any you can get for cheap in America?
I am looking into the Honda DEL SOL
I want to race it guys its be pretty fucking amaizng i think
i always liked initial d when iw as a kid and it what drove me to keep going
now im old and poor and depressed and ij ust want to feel good again
i use to be so into cars man
then i had to sell them all
i just feelnothing but bad
thoghts?
>>15391909
The Honda Del Sol is not a kei car. It's too big.
Here are literal kei cars that HAVE been sold in America:
Suzuki Samurai
Suzuki Sidekick
Geo Tracker
Smart Fortwo
Geo Metro
Suzuki Swift
Suzuki X90
Everything else you find in America that's a kei car is imported. Keep in mind the engines for American market cars are twice the displacement and often more than twice as powerful because 'merica.
>>15391945
Too big
>>15391962
yes. The Del Sol is too big to be a kei car. japanese regulations are extremely strict, restricting kei cars to specific dimensions (length, and width, but no specifications for height). All Kei cars MUST have a 660 cc engine (just barely over half a liter) and can produce no more than 64 HP at most.
The only kei car in existence to not use every scrap of size allowed by the regulations is the Smart Fortwo.
