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

Oh I'd love to be one.

 

My opinions would be seen as more brash than Clarkson.

Go ahead then :P

Just don't take my spot  ;)

There is no legal limit. You drive what you bought. You can change stickers and tires. Thats it

Cops take it. Throw the jets away. Give you a fine and the moped back without any mods.

And possible points on your license

Wait you can't modify your moped in any way? even if it doesn't increase performance, it just runs smoother for example?

Is it bad that my dream setup only costs a few thousand not counting the obutto?

a friends EPA tractor which is basically a modified car, had blue lights on the rear view mirrors and the cops stopped him and said the lights were illegal so he grabbed a wrench and smashed them got back in and drive away the cops didn't do shit about it after that, also there is basically not a EPA tractor that doesn't have illegal mods done to it, another friend dropped his to the ground basically with some new springs and then he put a twin turbo and straight really big exhaust pipes on it. It can do burnouts in reverse, it's basically a race car and he hasn't even got a moped license but he doesn't care a single shit

nope almost everything is illegal but doing something like that would not alert the cops even the slightest

You can but be mindful of the mid-pipe. Usually with a long tube header the factory mid-pipe is not going to work, so you will have to buy another (matching) mid-pipe.

Chevrolet has completely pulled out of Europe. It's a shame but they could have made different type cars and still make sense as a brand

The same is true for Opel here in Asia. Chevrolet is doing a lot better now though, thanks to GM Korea's improvement (formerly known as Daewoo Motors) and their venture with Isuzu in Thailand.

 

Vue, Catera, LeMans? Yuck :P

Sad they decided to use such a legendary name on a shameful car...

That's about the price of a Chevy Metro or some poorly running cheap car lol my parents bought a Toyota Tercel for $1500 or maybe even less and it was in great condition and ran for a while.

I guess companies like that will survive as long as there is a market for cheap, basic transportation.

Rover is starting to enter the Asian markets once more. I wonder how it'd do.

It was given a new lease of life by Chinese investors. It is doing alright in the Chinese market.
