this is friggen great XD



i wonder what that red light is..lol

~Sp33~
 
maybe the VTEC light ? lol... Supposely its the check engine light.
 
lol. WARNING vtec about to kick in XD. BRACE YOURSELF...hehehe...
 
:( i aint no ricer lol. i dont even have a car yet.. your mums a ricer..lol

EDIT: your mum is not a ricer.
 
she likes the flashy cars but ricing out mini vans is a bit to much.
 
haha, i could think of nothing worse.. i remember in the back of a magazine ive subsribed to, they do a monthly update on japanese rice vans, of which has bumpers that stuck out about a metre from the front and back... weird
 
kinda like this tv commercial we have here for pay as you go cell phones where these wacked out posers roll up to a import car hang out and tell this chick she owes money on her bad cell plan. they roll up in this ae86 corrolla with a huge wing, cardboard looking body kit a foot long front and back, a huge hood scoope and those spinner hup caps. all unpainted.
 
just talking about the model in gt4, it looks out of perportion.

The sedan maynot look as good but its much more practical with AWD and such.

Yes, 'cause we all know that AWD is lightweight, and that its complexity doesn't induce drivetrain powerloss and lower fuel economy... :rolleyes:
 
LOL if you have ever ridden in a G35 Sedan, you would see that there is not much difference between the Coupe and it. The coupe has 2 doors. Big whoop. I live in Minnesota, we get SNOW. Ever heard of it? Our trailblazer cant drive with 2WD on in deep snow, so what makes you think a 2 door coupe with like a 3 inch ground clearance, RWD, is gonna be like? Stuck. performance is not everything. We have four people in our family, they wont cramp up in the back of a coupe.

As far as gas mileage goes, its about the same as the coupe. They have the same engine pretty much. Except they squeezed a little more HP out of the coupe. Oh well, like it will really make a difference.

So keep your opinions onn AWD to yourself. Or actually proof that RWD is better and causes better fuel economy and stuff.
 
I dont think any car with AWD would get through deap snow. You need atleast a foot of ground clearance.. which most AWD cars still lack.

Cough cough:
First, remember that your MPG will vary depending on many factors:
- how far you are into your break-in period.
- whether you have 2WD or 4WD (4WD reduces fuel economy).
- automatic or manual transmission (manuals are generally better).
- whether you run the air conditioning (A/C reduces fuel economy).
- cars that are sold in California and Massachusetts (others?) are
required to have the "CA" emissions option that can reduce mileage.
- many states now require "oxygenated" fuels [MBTE additive] in
cold weather or even year-round (can reduce fuel economy).
- using a roof rack or other accessories can increase drag and
reduce fuel economy.
- adverse weather can reduce fuel economy.
- bad driving habits (fast acceleration, riding the brake, etc)
can reduce fuel economy.
- increasing tire pressure can improve fuel economy slightly due
to reduced rolling resistance.

To compute MPG, you should average stats over a number of fillups
and make sure you fill your gas tank to the same level each time,
preferably using the same gas pump at the same station, if practical.

The Environmental Protection Agency <http://www.epa.gov/> tests all vehicles
sold in the US and publishes fuel economy estimates. The RAV4 mileage
depends on transmission and whether the vehicle has 4WD:

For 2001:

Drive, Transmission City/Highway estimate
=================== =====================
2WD, 5-speed 24/29
2WD, Automatic 24/29
4WD, 5-speed 23/27
4WD, Automatic 22/27

I will also argue with you stating that AWD is nescesary for snowy areas:
  • Canada sales of 4WD is about equal to sales of cars without 4WD
  • I've never heard of a Volvo getting stuck in the snow. Ever.
 
we are talking about Civic's here... Not AWD Volvo's lol
 
lol. i dont think he was talking about awd volvos, just the 2 wheel drive ones,, which are mad XD, specially that extra boxy s80 from the 90's
 
lol, i beg to differ. They had a simple profile pact with safety and room for 5 XD. Sounds like fun.

I never mentioned anything about the impracticality of a sedan, as opposed to a coupe. You just pulled that out of thin air. Are you insecure, or something? :odd:

Also, like ~Sp33~ said, an AWD car won't fare better in deep snow just because its front wheels are spinning... 💡

That said, maybe if you'd bothered to check where I live, you'd see I live in Wisconsin. Gasp! We get snow too!! 💡 And guess what? I love driving around in the snow with my RWD 318i! Sure, I live in the city, so I don't have to drive my BMW through deep snow, and I wouldn't try. However, I sure as hell wouldn't try to drive through deep snow in a G35 either, AWD or not. :rolleyes:
 
snow is rather fun but it makes breaking a *****. i prefer rain... just slightly more grip.

and there isnt any road salt...
 
lol no, i jut belong to a few car forums, and im so sick of assholes (not saying your one) that keep saying the sedan sucks, they should discontinue is and blah blah, it really gets annyoing.

Sorry, dude. lol

Where did Volvos come from?

and you say you have never heard of a volvo getting stuck, and you have talked to the millions of drivers that have them? every car gets stuck.

Volvos come from Sweden. Sweden, being the only place in the world that it snows in more than in Canada. So I assume that they know a little about building cars for sowy conditions and thus know that AWD is not nescescarry for snowly climes. You just need to know how to drive in snow. AWD is not an angel from heaven to guide you through snowy conditions.
And yes, every car can get stuck in the snow. Volvos get stuck. Hummers get stuck. Hell, you can get a tank stuck in the snow if it's deep enough. But if your going out bogging through snow, AWD is not going to help you very much if the snow is higher than your car's front bumper.
 
lol. I dont think that AWD would help on a car even if the snows only about 5 inches or so especially on an incline. I found this mad video of this audi A4 quattro doing 360s in a wet carpark.. looked like hella fun, the car was pivoting on its central axis.. . in reverse!...a simply amazing sight. Then they tried it in a honda prelude VTiR ATTS.. lol. that was funny.. the car was just sitting with smoke pouring off the wheels, also a whole lota fun for the driver, but was kinda lame to watch after a while.
 
anyone seen that commercial for audi where they take a car and drive it up one of those really steep skiing ramps? that was pretty cool.
 
I havent seen the add, but when i went to the motor show, they where advertising its tremendous ability..lol. And they had mountains of brouchers on it.

Trust me, if i buy i car, i wanna make sure it can get up a 45* incline covered in snow *rolls eyes*
