PoS is a gross exaggeration tho

2018-07-20 14:01:16 UTC  

@LOGiK bigger fuel pump and injectors would be unnecessary for anything under about 270hp. Even then, you could manage

2018-07-20 14:01:34 UTC  

I agree trans swap is expensive tho

2018-07-20 14:02:17 UTC  

I have actually seen cruzes make over 300hp

2018-07-20 14:02:31 UTC  

That however involved far more work than i would ever do

2018-07-20 14:02:39 UTC  

Far, far, faaaaar more

2018-07-20 14:06:56 UTC  

Wait, do you have the 1.4 liter engine or the 2.0?

2018-07-20 14:10:57 UTC  

I don't think the 1.4 is feasibly capable of much over 200, I'm no expert by any means but yeah

2018-07-20 14:34:33 UTC  

on the point of offroad stuff from yesterday

2018-07-20 14:45:01 UTC  

I want the Jimny to be sold here.

2018-07-20 14:49:41 UTC  

ha

2018-07-20 14:49:45 UTC  

I remember Jimnys from the 90s

Well that's one sale in the bag lads

2018-07-20 14:49:51 UTC  

they.. didn't have a great reputation.

2018-07-20 15:02:24 UTC  

Well they were never sold under that name in the US.

2018-07-20 15:03:08 UTC  

It was the Samurai here and it actually had and has a great reputation among serious off-roaders.

2018-07-20 15:04:40 UTC  

On road it wasn't so great because of the high center of gravity, and it ended up involved in a lawsuit between Suzuki and Consumer reports when they said it was likely to roll.

2018-07-20 15:57:16 UTC  

Oh my sister had a samurai

2018-07-20 15:57:34 UTC  

She took the family Cutlass and hid it in the mall parking lot

2018-07-20 15:57:53 UTC  

And tried to get rid of it but my parents found it so they bought her a new samurai

2018-07-20 16:08:55 UTC  

Damm

We do not negotiate with terrorists

fuck your Samurari, we have the car for you

2018-07-20 16:29:07 UTC  

wait why did they buy her a new car after hiding a car

2018-07-20 16:32:34 UTC  

if I had kids and they tried hiding / getting rid of a car

2018-07-20 16:32:44 UTC  

all they'd be driving is a fiat multipla

2018-07-20 16:36:50 UTC  

the majority of high ranking cars are such garbage

2018-07-20 16:38:44 UTC  

PT Cruiser

2018-07-20 16:39:03 UTC  

yup

2018-07-20 16:39:25 UTC  

I was most surprised by the mitsubishi lancer being 2

2018-07-20 16:39:42 UTC  

I feel like most of the cars I like we're probably sold in too small a volume to get on there.

2018-07-20 16:40:27 UTC  

well its also based on a third party warranty company

2018-07-20 16:40:40 UTC  

Well these individual cars are really at odds with the JD Power overall brand rankings here.

2018-07-20 16:41:02 UTC  

The thing is

2018-07-20 16:41:19 UTC  

I feel like it's a certain kind of owner who pays for these third party warranties

2018-07-20 16:41:41 UTC  

and also the nature of the business type lends itself to not accommodate rarer vehicles

2018-07-20 16:42:24 UTC  

most higher end cars wont have owners paying for that kind of warranty since they're more likely to want their cars to be handled by a specialist/dealer
