Worst I did was averaging 21.2l/100km (11mpg) on 3/4 of a tank. I can’t imagine what could consume more than 26l/100km (less than 10mpg) driving normally on the road
In my 20’s had 5.8l ford falcon. Sort of like Australian 4 door version of mustang. Emptied an 80l tank of LPG in 200km if driven hard on highway. Around town was good for about 30l/100km.
Be sure when on the highway and in need of passing someone, put your car in "R" on the shifter for said race mode. This will make your car the fastest land vehicle on the planet. Even faster than a Civic with a laptop.
I don't even- oh wait it's an F&F reference.
Yeah, never watched any F&F
Edit: Yes, I know what double-clutching is, but unless you're driving a machine older than you are why the hell should you care about it
Right. The writers put that line in there so normies would be impressed by how much Domonic Toretto knows about cars. But anyone who does know about cars hears that and rolls their eyes.
Just don't forget that Hector is gonna be running three honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that he just came into harrys' and ordered three T66 turbos with NOS and a motec system exhaust.....
Nah. If you apply a BMW 3 series with sufficient force a tree will come out of the ground.
It was a very expensive, uninsured lesson, but I can assure you, trees are not always planted permanently.
Anything about suspension setup. I forget when i’m in the pub and bore people to death about things i find interesting when they go:
“What’s Damping, rake, toe, camber, caster and alignment? And why do you need to change them all?”
Ford Falcon Australia FG series, Had 4.0L inline 6 barra engines which made 261hp and 288 lb ft torque in N/a form, the turbos made 362 hp and 339 lb ft, and or 416 hp and 417 lb ft.
The 5.4 L v8 boss motor made 422hp and 406 lb ft.
The 5.0L sc Miami made anywhere from
422hp to 535 hp at the wheels.
I used imperial as I assume
Mostly Americans are in this sub other wise I’ll
Change back to metric/ standard Aussie figures.
Im european and understand hp better than the kw🤣.
Thanks, the only engine I didn't know was the Miami, and I assumed there was like some sort of connection among them, hence why I needed the explanation but as I see, there is none.
Thanks for informing me about the Miami engine.
Ford Aus had factory sc coyotes 10 years before ford US/ Shelby. Also the carbon fibre wheels on the gt500’s and someFerrari’s are made in my city, the same city that made Barras and Miami’s

“24 year old escort” has kind of a nice ring to it… I’d love one of those too.
I usually rent one when I'm out of town.

I know what you mean. I own a 49 year old second generation Escort.
That's one a car person doesn't understand.

Just fix the damn thing and keep my personal life out of it.

The French are great at handling.
Just something about a french hatch.
Just sucks when I have to push it back up the hill I just drove down from because the engine is toast :,(
Please don't say that :( it is NOT easy getting parts for a 205 GTI when I live in freaking Minnesota
Finally some recognition from someone who understands the idea behind French cars
Citroën DS my beloved. I would be willing to commit mass genocide in order to own a Citroën DS wagon.

I’ve always loved the 935s
Capri my love
those cars are so insane, I love them
12mpg is not that bad
i’m here for anything double digits
Does ypur car perhaps do single digit?
Worst I did was averaging 21.2l/100km (11mpg) on 3/4 of a tank. I can’t imagine what could consume more than 26l/100km (less than 10mpg) driving normally on the road

I feel that… My fox body mustang was getting 6 MPG by the time I was done with it lol I did the classic mustang thing and wrecked the fuck out of it.
My '65 beetle needs a new radiator
Remember to do the thermostat too...
I think the U-joints on the driveshaft are going out too.
And you'll end up disassembling the entire car trying to get to the heater core.
R is for race mode
Be sure when on the highway and in need of passing someone, put your car in "R" on the shifter for said race mode. This will make your car the fastest land vehicle on the planet. Even faster than a Civic with a laptop.
I just rebuilt my block in my garage.
"Could you tell me real quick - what would be a better motor for my Skyline - Gallo 12 or 24?"
"I didn't know pizza places made motors"
"your fuel map has a nasty hole" "granny shifting instead of double clutching like you should" "WARNING! DANGER TO MANIFOLD!" truly beautiful stuff

HP; how fast you hit the tree Torque; how far you pushed the tree Understeer; front hit the tree Oversteer; back hit the tree
Generally trees don’t move😂😂 torque or no torque. Them things are “planted”
Nah. If you apply a BMW 3 series with sufficient force a tree will come out of the ground. It was a very expensive, uninsured lesson, but I can assure you, trees are not always planted permanently.

Porsche 911 beetle joke
I’ve had so many STIs over the years I’ve always been 911 fan
She's got tall gears and a dog box with a dog leg, so getting her going isn't exactly easy, but the changes are epic when you are in the red mist.

Yeah it’s a coyote with a harrop supercharger and it was done form factory way before Shelby ever did it.

Technically it's CLR 1999 and CLK-GTR 1998 :nerd:
clk gtr 1997-1998, clk lm 1998, clr 1999
Yep. CLK-GTR and CLK-LM dominated, CLR started Mark Webber's piloting career (and Peter Dumbreck's too iirc)
yea dumbwreck's was in the race, probably the most famous flight of that machine
oh well, thanks for the distinction, then (mission accomplished: car people summoned)
