Eh you don't need 4WD, as long as you have a limited slip diff and some good tires you'd be fine. In other news I've been able to achieve 21mpg finally in my Chrysler, I usually get 18-19 so this is a great improvement (and filled up the tank with some 2.20 per gallon Costco gas)
I have a 1992 New Yorker, has a 3.3 liter pushrod V6 paired up to a A604 Ultradrive/41TE transmission (was one of the first electronically controlled transmissions to hit the mass market back in the late 80s early 90s).
It Took 36,000 Gallons Of Water To Extinguish A Burning Tesla Serious question: Compare between "ICEV fire probability * resource needed to extinguish ICEV fire" and "EV fire probability * resource needed to extinguish EV fire"
New exhaust pipe from the manifold back, a nice new non rusty, holey quiet muffler to compliment it Ziptie to the rescue ! Also a minor achievement Also the sills i only noticed today are paper thin and very holey now, wasnt like that few months again I think i need a new car, what're y'all recommendations?
It's got plenty of torque and power for daily driving purposes, good power band and the transmissions OD gear is really nice as well --- Post updated --- Any 70s to early 80s Chrysler/Ford fullsize american sedan. Real solid cars with good drive-trains, plush seats & comfortable suspension
Yeah we dont have those here, and believe me you wont like the ones that do come up --- Post updated --- Yeah i cant get those, otherwise you must really like pinstriping... --- Post updated --- Im now realizing my pickings are going to be slim to none, so ill probably stick with my shitbox for now, but otherwise: Large, roomy, Chrysler-ish, four doors, pre '84 (pre lean burn preferred), unliked or forgotten about, uncool, practical, and finally; Something American or American derived, annnnnd cheap!
Chrysler 180? Galant? If you are tired of the hassle of the Valiant it might be time for something mundane. A high-trim Camry might do the trick then.
Those Galants are pretty cool, i once nearly bought an early seventies one years ago for something ridiculously cheap, but here cheap, lightweight, square, upright cars wont be very safe with the winds we get here, Im pretty sure Albany is in the top ten of windiest settlements in the world, Perth is something like 3rd or 4th on the list but there's lots to break it up or shelter one from it, not so around here... --- Post updated --- The bog is stronger than i give credit for, good thing its all structural rust! One day there'll be metal here again Edit: Sorry im wrong about how windy it is here, doesn't make top ten but we sure as shit dont have any cover from what wind we get
"{It was} powered by a huge 18.9-liter (1153ci) inline-four engine that produced 80 horsepower." Guess the car?
PowerCo confirms results: QuantumScape’s solid-state cell passes first endurance test: Requirements exceeded: Solid-state battery from QuantumScape achieved more than 1,000 charging cycles with still more than 95 percent capacity. Depending on the model, an electric car could drive more than 500000 kilometers without any noticeable loss of range. https://www.volkswagen-group.com/en...-state-cell-passes-first-endurance-test-18031
The BMS fails first. I bought a dozen of power banks since smartphone manufacturers make their phone's battery impossible to replace without special tools, all of them failed prematurely because of electronic circuit malfunction except one, which failed due to dead battery. --- Post updated --- The same goes to LED lighting, LED has a longer life compared to incandescent bulb in theory, in practice they fail due to crappy driver circuit. I ended up DIYing my indoor lighting with LEDs and a constant-current SMPS, instead of buying ready-to-use LED light "bulbs"
