    The club is for those who like cars almost as much as they like Pokemon. Whether or not you own one or even drive a car. If you like 'em, this is the place to discuss them. Discussions can include anything from history of cars, car repair, or the future of cars. This includes your personal likes and dislikes of brands, but do not flame others because of their personal opinion.

    Rules:

    Normal PC rules apply (duh)

    lol, glad I found this!

    SO ANYWAY YEAH. DISCUSS CARS OR BIKES, OR WHATEVAR.
     
    Do you prefer a car or a truck?

    I prefer a Truck, and to be more particular, single cab long bed. I just like they way it looks.
    Spoiler:

    Oh yeah, one more thing, has to be a V8 :D

    I drive a car, only because of the of stupid gas prices, (-_-) nothing like an inline 4 when it comes to fuel economy.
     
    I prefer a car, compact car with good handling and awesome acceleration, with long-lasting drift tires & a 10000 rpm engine.
     
    Bumping this thread, so to speak.

    I got a job at Auto Zone. It is sure to put me in a position that I will be able to learn many new things about cars. If you have questions for an Auto Zone employee, well here is the place to post them.

    I want to put an 11000 rpm engine (*cough*Initial D reference*cough*) in a 3-door Toyota Yaris... but where do I get such an engine? :P

    Do you think you are the only one to try and prank an AutoZoner? (old time classic: muffler bearings.)

    I would suggest a Hayabusa engine. Kind like those smart car conversions you see on youtube.

    Auto Zone is more there for Auto Repair. We don't sell many Motorcycle parts. Ironically I ordered an air filter for a Kawasaki today.

    EDI: To answer you question: the internet, 'cause we sure don't have it.
     
    What's the highest revving engine you DO have then?
     
    I'm not at work now (obliviously), and we only carry OEM replacement create engines.

    I could not tell you for sure. I'm sure that we carry some early 90's V-Tec Honda engines. They red line around 8k. I know that you can usually squeeze another grand out of it.

    But quit playing around with those toys. Get some real power and go V8. nothing like five hundred and something cubic inches of displacement roaring to life at 3200 rpm. :D

    8k V-tec sounds cool though I'd really rather have at least 10k.

    What is your work there exactly btw? You're 17.. so I take it you don't have a very technical job there yet?

    I have no concept about this "displacement" thing btw. xD

    Being under the age of 18 the only thing I can't do is test take the mobile tester out to the car.

    you want an engine that goes over 10k, get a motor cycle engine.

    An engine is measured by: the total volume of fuel/air mixture that engine is capable of drawing into all cylinders during one operating cycle. To put it simply, a standard 2.4 liter V6 actually pulls in 2.4 liters of fuel/air mixture during the time it takes for all six cylinders to make one complete revolution through the engine.

    Nothing like a 440. (for you modern day people 7.2 L) the only thing you wont pass is a gas station.

    Yah but is a motorcycle engine the same as a cars?

    I mean, I'd like at least a 250 HP engine with as much torque as possible. Then I'll add a supercharger and a turbo to it.

    Something I always wanted to build: 318 (5.2L) engine with some Magnum heads. A 340 cam, with a high performance intake, headers, and crab.

    318s are easy to find, they are extremely reliable, and still have decent power, if fixed up. They are a V8. IT would be neat to drop down into a 70's Chrysler A body.

    Did I mention that parts for 318 are be easy to acquire, and are relatively cheap compared to other engines?
     
    lol, I don't know THAT much about cars to really join this discussion.

    I'm mostly concerned about the looks and interior.

    And I'm the AUTHORITY on makes and models. Give me a picture, I can tell you. (Years, well.... I'm working on that.)

    Let's have a new topic.

    What's the best new car out right now?

    Dodge Challenger FTW.

    For average people: The Kia Borrego looks promising.

    ^ Agree 110%I care about whats under the hood. I can see a car, and tell you approximate year, make, and model.

    Test for voltenic: What is this car?

    That's one huge engine... are you referring to Muscle cars?

    I'm looking for 2.5 L engine max.

    I like the WRX Sti.

    For average people, Toyota Yaris Hatchback and Cheverolet Aveo Sedan. Melikes.

    OH yeah, V8 power.

    hmm small four banger, Try the Honda F serises.

    And try the vTec. My car has the one of those engines (F22A), and it is not fast by any means, but it is in an accord (3000lbs). I'm sure that if the motor was in a little car, such as a civic hatch (~1200lbs), it would fly.

    Seriously, only 150 Torque? I wonder if that can make a hatchback accelerate to 60 miles/h in under 5.0 seconds. 200 HP is good enough though I guess, for a small car.

    And I haven no idea what that car in that pic is.
