Just remember, I'm a freaking lady, darnit! I will be treated as such. *burp!* Oh excuse me, that was quite unladylike...

@rarity thats what i get for buying a reliable form of transportation. i coulda just kept fixing my crx every couple weeks and wouldnt have had to pay any taxes >.< i had to pay sales tax on a $14700 car.... yeh ill be broke for a while...
-
@rarity yeh its gonna be like a month before i can get a pillowtop.... Discord's taxes and registration cost me alot... I'm poor now...
-
@rarity i was supposed to go buy a pillow top for my bed...
-
@praxis you only say that bc you get a jolly out of being beaten
-

@renovatedkitchen jack of all trades, master of none

@renovatedkitchen you may notice, i know alot of useless things about things. i can tell you the hp ratings of the three submodels of the 2nd gen honda crx and the other differences between them, but i cant tell you what happened in the government or whatever in the last... any amount of time
-
@techdisk42 and that is where you are to be corrected. a standard will get better mpg then an automatic if driven currectly. a automatic never disengages the engine at speed, so it will always burn more fuel then needed when you are just coasting. with a standard, you push in the clutch while coasting and the rpms drop to idle speed. also with an auto, it decides what gear is best. in a standard, if you upshift early when you dont need acceleration then you dont waste fuel.
-
@renovatedkitchen the z24 of that year used the quad4 engine. the base cavalier used a ohv. The ohv was 100times more reliable then the dohc quad4. people thought that bc the quad4 hada timing chain, you didnt need to mess with it, so after 60k miles it would start making noise. the whole quad4 series engines had major head gasket issues. the transmission was the only reason the z24 was worth buying.
-
@techdisk42 pretty much. americans would rather text msg their friends then shift their own gears. priorities people. then new cars started adding manual shift to the automatics.... if you wanna shift gears, then buy a standard...
-
@renovatedkitchen lets put it this way about getrag tranmissions. they put getrag 5spd in the 95-99 chevy cavalier z24. that is the only reason that car was even worth buying.
-
@techdisk42 if you cant drive a standard, then you cant drive. imo
-
@renovatedkitchen getrag trans are some of the best, but they dont have "street driveability" the gears are too close together (ratios) so its hard to be subtle while driving. pair them with a good clutch and they'll make any engine act like it is powerful
-
-
@renovatedkitchen yeh it was the sohc 12valve version. the big reason that car was as fast as it was, was the getrag trans. the gearing was so close on it that once you got going, it was game over. i beat a 5.0 foxbody mustang with it. After i bypassed the speed limiter, i got it to 140mph... once.... never again...
-
@techdisk42 me. i have banned myself from owning anything that can accelerate fast and/or go over 90mph easily. i like having a driver's license >.>
-
@renovatedkitchen Yeh but with 200ft-lbs of torque. The torque band peaks at 3k and the hp peaks at 5k. If you rev'd that thing up and dumped the clutch at 2500, then (once the tires stopped spinning) you would fly. Keep shifting that thing at 5500 and you would never leave that power band between the torque and hp. that thing killed every turbo'd honda i ran against. it also got me in ALOT of trouble. i'm not aloud to have cars that are fast anymore >.>
-
@renovatedkitchen i just decided to read the specs of my old daytona. mine was 141hp v6. the iroc r/t was 224hp. mine had more torque, bc it was a v6, but still...
-
@renovatedkitchen there were some modified for it, but noone in their right mind would ralley a FWD car
-
@renovatedkitchen nope, the last time his motor went, he gave up on it and was gonna have it swapped to a 4g63 and turbo'd. it got stolen from the shop he took it to
-
@renovatedkitchen correction: my daytona was the Daytona Iroc. The Daytona Iroc R/T had a Turbo Lotus engine in it. but yes, my daytona was awesome /)^3^(\ Also i've heard lots of people say that neons are dsm. that is wrong for two reasons. dsm disbanded before the neon was made, and the engine is not a mitsubishi. the 420a, while used in some eclipse/talons, was not a mitsubishi engine. remember how i told you my buddy had a talon that kept blowing heads? thats bc his was a 420a, not a 4g63
-
@renovatedkitchen no, the vision is a rebranded intrepid. the galant is, yes. also another that most miss is the Conquest, the only of the RWD DSM. There are a couple others that didnt sell well, so noone cares. also a thing to remember, mitsubishi bought out chrysler's part in dsm in 93, anything made are that are rebranded mitsubishi, not dsm. any of the early 90s dodge/chrysler cars featuring the 3.0L V6 are dsm as well, bc that 3.0 is a mitsubishi motor. so the spirit, shadow, lebaren, ect are technically dsm. my favorite is the Dodge Daytona. The 91-93 Daytona RT with the manual trans is awesome. The 3.0 mitsubishi motor, the dodge body, adn the trans is a Getrag. I had one and regret selling it.
-
@renovatedkitchen and bc i feel like testing your knowledge. name three dsm vehicles that are not the eclipse/talon/laser
-
@renovatedkitchen with out googling it, WHY did dsm form?
