Made in China cars FTL

ugly it is, I agree (the designer obviously had no artistic sense) but no need to ridicule "made in china". Not every cars made in china are ugly or cheap. BMW 3 series and AUDI A6 and A4 's are made in china(sold there too), VW Polos sold in Australia are made in china, and even some Mercedes Benzs are going to be made in china.

thought then 3 series was made in south africa ?

youre right, at the moment 3 series sold worldwide are made in south africa, except 3 series sold in china are made in china, but bmw will eventually shift all 3 series prodution to their chinese plants as business grows.

Um, I saw a Citroen ( spelling ) C6 yesterday and I'll vote that to be the ugliest car ever !!

Have seen pics but yesterday seeing it the flesh was like looking and a big shiny turd :)

As for that chinese thing above, it might not be real pretty but the bellows thing is kinda interesting. Extra space and the area's still protected so you could take a big TV home even if it's raining etc etc.

Just a thought - is that Accordeon feature some kind of moveable spoiler like on the 911 ??

So it is compressed fully when at low speeds and only deploys above 10 mph ??

It is the only conceivable thing I could come up with as to why someone would do this ??

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
    • What sold me on Trailer Park Boys is this scene: Great stuff, just stay clear from the new Netflix production.
