i have  01 and 02 mazdas at home, yet they still drive just fine. the 02 is actually on its way to 300k miles, and it hasn't required much maintenance, though it has started to burn some oil.

Ouch that must be suck....

Ew to each his own I guess. With hot hatches I prefer them to look a little youthful oriented. The older one looks too old while the newer one to me looks like a more grown up hot hatches that still has a youthful appearance similar to the VW GTI.

idk i just love volvos, something about a volvo aftrer being exposed to one for around 10 years  

i personally am looking into this block of dutch steel, yeah ... a volvo assembled in netherlands 

Spoiler

 

1st gen facelift Volvo S40 T4

and turn it into something like this 

wait... they look too similar  

much better ... still not 100% what i would make it look like

Looks like something my 91 year old grandfather would drive. That's just my opinion tho. 

 

Edit: only the top 2 though

Suppose so not exactly a bad thing I'm pretty sure being old on the inside is call maturity and it's boring just like the car. I like my cars youthful and mischievous and a little bit stupid. -cough cough- mustang/Camaro -cough cough-

I remember my road test. Ended up scoring perfect with 0 points. I think the highest amount of points you can get without failing is 11 or 13.

I got points off just because I was trying to avoid running over children.

@MEC-777 drenching the shift mechanism in PB blaster has allowed me to at least force the car into neutral but still no go on the forward gears. Oh, and now I've got a flat battery. And its apparently leaking oil on the left side of the bay.

 

Fantastic.

When shit goes wrong it goes really wrong.

hey that thing has like 147kW and 300nm of torque that is 200hp and 220lb-ft out of a turbo 1.9l 4cylinder ... sadly its only FWD  

there is a 2.0T model that has less power (118kW and 230nm or 160hp and 170lb-ft ) from a 2.0l engine cause it uses a lower pressure turbo 

ok i should go to bed .. its 5:30 AM

My friends civic has an i4 1.8l with 195hp without a turbo. Although i'm pretty sure the v-tech helps  We're planning to grab a turbo for it this summer lol and tune it up properly

Not going to knock the 200hp. While the 2012 GTI I test drove is slower in the 1/4mile it felt way faster and more fun to drive than a V6 and turbo 4 mustang were worse all around compared to the GTI in every category. If I had to decide on a car out of the 3 it would go GTI>eco boost mustang> v6 mustang. In the end all three didn't satisfy my crazing for power and being stupid so I'm most likely going to pick up a mustang with the new 5.0 in it and either turbo or supercharge it in a year or two.

Vtec basically is like a turbo only without the turbo and in the end b series an k series motors are just completely insane. With high hp numbers from a N/A motor idk how Honda could make them

Well... The s40 did come also with a n/a 1.6 that had 105hp and not many torques

Vtec + turbo is basically twin turbo without the lag  Yeah those Honda motors are amazing  So much power for such a small thing.

.......until something goes wrong, they are very tight engine compartments, replacement parts seem a little high, but thats common knowledge, they do tend to get stripped quickly when they hit the junk yard.

Yep the engine compartment and the engines themselves are so compact that getting anything middle ground done basically requires taking the entire thing out

VTec isn't special all it is, is variable cam timing which most cars have now a days. In fact Toyota was the first to have variable cam timing. Vtec+turbo is nowhere near like having twin turbo.

I wonder how easy it is to obtain a cylinder head, there's gotta be a huge market for them.

My old Mitsubishi engine in the Mazda B2600i (4x4, manual) was sure a bitch to obtain a cylinder head. Cracked in a few spots.

Sure they could plugged it. I junked it.

I'm inclined to agree with this person.

Why would they?

It a top earning movie franchise, and earning a shit ton of money.

Expect to see more F&F movies come your way. I dont care either way, I have never watched them past Tokyo which is the second one I think. It shouldnt bother you, there are plenty of selections of movies to choose from, its probably best for you because it takes people out of the cinema theatre you are in. I prefer an empty theatre myself. Seat kickers and cell phone assholes should be banned.

I knew an 8th movie would be coming a long time before they announced it. BUT I don't think they should do many more. If they do end up with a few more i'm fine with up to 10 but please no more like 8 was.... To much about the action and not enough like the first several. I didn't really feel anything watching the most recent one. The previous ones I was always thrilled with and loved every moment of them. Now not so much... Paul Walker WAS a big part of it but it can still be great without him.

basically how huge turbos have like no effect on the engine until they really kick in? that's how vtec kinda feels like, except with no boost.

Not at all if anything it feels like a little it bitty tinny whiney turbo that you have a placebo effect with. It's great marketing but the difference it makes is pretty small in the RPM band.

well maybe for the more pedestrian honda motors, but the performance k and b motors with more agressive cams seem so.
