Muhahahahhe died. i am his reincarnation.
got bumped in the back over the weekend. cracked my $1200 carbon fiber diffuser. i've read about people trying to order the same one on forums, but having no luck getting in touch with the company overseas that makes it. been bummed all weekend thinking about how i might have to settle for a different one that i don't like as much. not even sure how insurance works regarding aftermarket parts.
Copy and pasted from a post I made earlierAnyone got any recommendations for good dash cam options?
Thoughts on an early 2000s GT mustang as a daily driver? Any known issues to look out for and thoughts on mileage?
Are you gonna get a dash cam for the front and back of your car?
94 Integra you will be missed and never forgotten.
Your totaled soul will live on in the down payment of this GTI and probably in parts yanked off to help other integras live on.
RIP.
they remind me oflike the GTI...but i think vw was on that stuff approving those detroit rims. them joints never sat right with me lol
It's a CPO '12What year is that?
Yep.
the GTI got a turba?
What cylinders?
What cylinders?
On the topic of wankels and displacement.... Advertised displacement on wankels is very misleading.
Take the 13b for example.... The claimed 1.3 liters is little more than marketing ********, mainly to lower insurance prices therefore selling more cars and to a lesser extent, make an excuse for the lack of torque rotaries make. It's not an adequate comparison to a piston engines displacement.
A rotary take a chamber (cylinder) charge every revolution of the eccentric (crank) shaft per rotor. In a 2 rotor 13b engine, that means 654cc x2 = 1.3 liters per revolution.
A 4 stoke piston engine however, only takes a cylinder charge every second revolution. So if we want to compare a rotary to a piston engine, we need count the displacement over 2 revolutions. Meaning the 13b rotary is equal to 2.6 liters piston engine
If you want to look at the 13b rotary's real capacity, you need to measure the volume of all chambers doing one cycle (the same way we measure a piston engine's displacement). This is also referred to as swept volume. That gives us a volume of 3.9 liters
Cliffs:
3.9 liters is the true volume of a "1.3 liter" wankel if we were to judge the rotary by the same rules as piston engines.
But it's not a piston engine.
What happened to no the "no replacement for" statement? So now we're actually getting more into depth, and determining that isn't the deciding factor on a better performing engine?
"No replacement for displacement" is the equivalent of saying the acceleration of gravity= 9.8 m/s^2. Or saying 2>1
You're trying to argue laws of physics. Greater displacement, more potential for power? Well, no ****
