Sadly no. No manual here... You can't find a car here above 40k that have a manual gearbox. That's really anoying. But it's the only which have Shifting paddles, better than nothing I guess... Reliability isn't such a big deal, today at least, Most of our cars have reached 300 000 Km. But my father started going to works by train (To Paris) about 350km... Our actual car have still only 40 000km. SUV are getting annoying. They are everywhere. Everything with 4 doors and a slight lift is an "SUV". I'm pretty sure 50% of the cars in circulation in France are SUV.
Thank you. I'm just glad that the Spectra was in one pristine piece when I was done with it. Although, next time my grandparents come up, I'll likely be driving an '08 Jeep Liberty instead (as my grandpa bought one recently at an auction for $2,400). I'll be learning about signals and such, which likely won't be too hard.
Probably just under the carpet in the rear floor like pretty much every car, though could also be on the bottom bolted to the chassis.
Bingo, industry has been heavily shifting towards roadside repair kits rather than spare wheels. Not like anybody knows how to change a wheel (should really be in the test)
Looks like either the GPS told him to go the wrong way, or he just didn't understand how driving works.
Just wondering whats easyer to do swaping the turbo of a turbocharged car or doing something with the ecu? A turbo would give more power but its more expensive
considering bigger turbos will eventually require ECU, injectors and fuel pump upgrades to say the least, I would start with the ECU. it should already provide a noticeable power increase as well as make ground for a bigger turbine in the future... also, see how much you could increase pressure on the stock turbo... always be mindful that pushing more air into the engine without feeding more fuel accordingly will result in a lean mixture prone to overheat and damage your pistons...
