That is a jdm-drift-boi myth, they have the same compression ratio.
Realistically compression is also determined by your choice of pistons and headgasket so you are flexible no matter which path you use.
The seats look nice, I dont see how there are a more sporty upgrade to all red but whatever. I am liking the black trim.
The rear on the Camry was already aggressive, both the Camry and Avalon needed front end tweaks instead.
The wheels and that spoiler are horrendous though. Just painting the...
The M340i debuts in LA at the end of this month with Euro version said to have 368-374hp while us versions will have 382hp. Why does the Euro Z4 only have 340hp? Why develop the integrated exhaust manifold to make 340hp when the traditional head makes more power while also meeting emissions...
Only time will tell when it comes to this, it is not like their relationship ends on the Supra launch day
BMW has released several hybrid vehicles over the last few years with many more on the way. Who is to say Toyota didn't consult on their development?
Being cost conscious is not the same...
What do you mean by "early Z4 reviews?" Journalists have their hands on the production car already so any review of a pre-production car should be thrown out the window.
As for engine sound specifically, all euro spec cars have had said this since euro models have a particle filter in the...
There is info that says that it won't, mostly based off specs of preproduction cars. But that doesn't mean it won't have any more or less, just that it will have a motor with the exhaust manifold integrated in the head (where as the 382hp motor does not).
Personally I believe it will have...
1.5jz only makes sense if you have a blown 1jz, and want to replace and upgrade the bottom end without changing your entire setup. You could probably piece together a craigslist 1jz head and 2jzge bottom for cheap but will most likely be more expensive piecing the rest together and with more...
See what I am saying about them getting all the hate? Blow a headgasket at 100k and people question if the 7m will be reliable when thats a one-and-done fix. For everyday driving, the motor is not any less reliable than a JZ after you double check everything is up to date, which you will have to...
But this time it is actually confirmed, the rest were just rumors
Driftmotion is your friend, the owner is or was a mk3 owner. I personally wouldnt own a car that wasn't imported to the states, getting parts would be a nightmare.
Yes they are definitely toying with us.
7Ms are good motors, not JZ great, but good nonetheless. They got a lot of hate because they needed a headgasket at 100k, but many Subarus have the same issues and people rave how reliable they are :confused:. My uncle has owned his mk3 since the early...
Where are you getting 64k? I have watched a few of these reviews and none of them have mentioned a number that high. AutoCar being most notable at €49k
That determines how you interpret trim. For example, you can get both base and F-sport trim of the GS300 and GS350 and both base and premium trim of the Ecoboost and GT Mustangs.
I have found several VINs with US spec 4 cylinder models as posted in the 4 cylinder thread
Not everyone cares about performance, yeah i know its dumb to buy the bottom trim of a "sports car" but different cars attract different buyers. Such as the the SC300 vs N/A MK4s.
Also, there are people who buy base RCs, 2 series, corvettes etc.
What details do you need on the 4 cylinder? There...
