Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Ah mechanic simulator 2016, where a customer complains of powerloss and I take down the whole engine and still don't find anything wrong xD

I think its the tire pressure but that loose bumper may be adding some drag.

I'm certainly interested to see what GM does with bringing the square body into the late 2010s. I wonder if it's going to be like a simple copy + paste or if maybe they're going to modernize it a little nods of the old style with modern styling. 

OMG!.... WHY HAVE I NOT HEARD OF THIS UNTIL NOW?!!!!! "Does a bit of internet searching" YAAAASSSS!!!!!!!

 

I absolutely love the old square body trucks :$ 1983 GMC 15/25/3500 series imo is one of the best looking. Gotta have that long box though for the bigger models :x

 

That or a 1974 Dodge Clubcab Adventurer :D Found one for $350 in kijiji in my area. Pretty much great all around condition with very little rust but I can't justify the money right now and i'd need to pay someone to bring it my way....

FUCK I WISH I'D SAVED MY MONEY BETTER!!!!!

Buddy of mine had one. Really nice cars. The seats are fantastic. That car and his current Park Avenue inspired me to try out American cars.

Still want something sportier though. so roadmaster is a no-go.

So basically attach a D.C. Motor to as high of gearing as you possibly can for the best result so it's always spinning at a very low rpm

 

or would you want it to spin where the torque and horsepower curve crosses each other? Where's the most ideal horsepower/torque balance "spot"???

It really depends on what your use is. In a general sense you want to set the motor up so that you're around max power output at the highest RPM you want to spin, past that point, it's all down hill from there.

Nice. I've always loved little French cars. I suppose it's because of how light they generally are
