The gearing in my car: ... 6th is useless for top speed is that a governer chip reason or a lack of road straight/long/without-traffic enough reason? EDIT: btw, it's rated to top out at 198 that's because there isn't enough power to keep accelerating with that gear, with all the resistance it faces...

My favorite part is how, right near the end, both cars were going 120+, and STILL had another gear to go! :lol: x 100 Yeah lol but it actually looks like he downshifts to 4th at 120 :DD My 4th in the BMW is good until 135 or so. Subaru on the other hand ... 105. Oh yeah. :lol: The gearing in my car...

I just checked it, there's supposed to be a button, but I guess I never pushed it in hard enough. It didn't feel like it would budge last time, I'll try it again. I rode in a GM car just now on lunch. Push the button in (it is somewhat difficult) to activate the 4-ways, then pull on the collar arou...

Welcome! If you were looking for a cheap MR2, you should've found a first gen AW11, those are quick pocket rockets when equipped with the SC. That honda thread isn't dead yet, the last post was what, 5 days ago? Feel free to post, and stop hiding knowledge! :P Your Z28 has an LS1 I assume? Yep LS1 ...

While taken as a whole domestic cars are far more reliable than European cars by industry failure rates... Way to state the obvious. There are so many off-brand Eurocars aroud that nobody outside of their country of origin ever hear of. These are frequently cheaply made insta-junkers. Take that alo...

@Azrael: I don't want to KNOW what you had to do to bend the valves on a Honda, it's not a common problem. Sounds like that guy who thought VWs were quit because he was grinding his transmission to dust. :? Look at the reports earlier in the thread, major American manufactures are below industry av...

Simple enough: Most American vehicle owners are thrilled when their car makes it to 100k miles. I expect at least 200k, and more like 300k. I've never had two transmissions FAIL on a Japanese car in such a short period of time, let alone at all. American cars have a horrible reputation to be mechan...
