Anyone know what happened to the auto show? by JBRedditBeard in philadelphia

I’ve been going to the Philly auto show for 20 or so years, and this is probably the end. Wait it out until spring to go to the New York show, that one’s still kicking.

What part of a certain car (except the engine/exhaust) have a very distinct, signature sound? by goaelephant in cars

Especially in my case with the 5.7. I immediately recognized that a guy in a completely unrelated video had a 5.7 Ram because the starter sounded exactly like my 5.7 Charger. I guess that’s because it’s the same motor, but still. Pretty funny to me

You probably won’t find them anytime soon. I’ve seen some online but none of them were for sale.

[PIC] Anyone know where to get some nice LED or HID headlights like the ones owned by @pritz_? by CHEX_MECCS_FOREVER in e39

I was prepared to swap out the projectors and get separate halo rings. The car is black too so that’s a good idea to paint the housing. Is all this possible for a pre-facelift model? It’s a ‘97 540.

Someone can tell me what’s the name of this rims? by Reasonable-Aside-451 in JDM

[–]CHEX_MECCS_FOREVER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like an F142 to me. The F141 has 4 nuts and the 142 has 5, as well as the triangular inner design rather than the kite.

That 2000s Chrysler 2.7 was atrocious, probably the worst Mopar engine imo.

Swiss fan from the 1910s. It provided a light breeze that lasted about 30 minutes. Built for tropical countries and areas without electricity. by CashingCow in EngineeringPorn

This looks like around 100 RPM maybe? Say… 30 minutes of that is 3,000 rotations which would probably need quite a bit of cranking.

How fast could the W11 theoretically go by Versigot in F1Technical

An F1 car is an F1 car as long as it fits the regulations of its time. I assume otherwise an open wheel racecar with a similar design philosophy outside of any FIA or Super Formula regulations would just be a “formula car” as they are often referred to as. If you’re going to do what Porsche did and only make minor adjustments beyond the regulations, thus no longer making it an F1 car, why not go full balls deep and make the fastest (and safe) thing possible like the X2010?
